PROSPECTUS
$350,000,000
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY
4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due June 15, 2034
and Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion of the
Senior Notes
This prospectus covers resales by selling security holders
identified herein of our 4.00% convertible senior notes due
June 15, 2034 and shares of our common stock into which the
notes are convertible. We will not receive any proceeds from the
resale of the notes or the shares of common stock hereunder.
The notes will mature on June 15, 2034. You may convert
your notes into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate
of 83.0703 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of notes (subject to adjustment in certain events), which
is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately
$12.04 per share, under the following circumstances:
(1) during specified periods, if the closing sale price of
our common stock reaches, or the trading price of the notes
falls below, specified levels described in this prospectus;
(2) if we call the notes for redemption; (3) if
specified corporate transactions occur; or (4) if a
fundamental change occurs. Upon conversion, we may at our option
choose to deliver, in lieu of our common stock, cash or a
combination of cash and common stock as described in this
prospectus.
We will pay interest on the notes on June 15 and December 15 of
each year. The notes will be issued only in denominations of
$1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.
On or after June 20, 2008, we have the option to redeem all
or a portion of the notes that have not been previously
converted at redemption prices set forth in this prospectus. On
June 15 of each of 2011, 2014, 2019, 2024 and 2029, or upon a
designated event as described in this prospectus, you have the
option to require us to repurchase all or a portion of your
notes at 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of repurchase, plus, in the case of certain
designated events as described in this prospectus, a make-whole
premium determined as described in this prospectus.
The notes will be evidenced by a global note deposited with a
custodian for and registered in the name of a nominee of The
Depository Trust Company. Except as described in this
prospectus, beneficial interests in the global note will be
shown on, and transfers thereon will be effected only through,
records maintained by The Depository Trust Company and its
direct and indirect participants.
The notes are senior, unsecured obligations that rank equally
with our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness. See Description of Notes
Ranking.
Prior to this offering, the notes have been eligible for trading
on The
PORTALsm
Market of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Notes sold by means of this prospectus are not expected to
remain eligible for trading on The PORTAL Market. We do not
intend to list the notes for trading on any national securities
exchange or on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol GT. The last reported sales price on
December 8, 2005 was $16.83 per share.
See Risk Factors on page 6 of this
prospectus to read about factors you should consider before

Forward-Looking Information Safe Harbor
Statement
Certain information set forth herein (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 prospectus.
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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
we have not yet completed the implementation of our plan to
improve our internal controls and, as described in
Item 9A Controls and Procedures in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004, Item 4 of Part I of our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005, and Managements Report on
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting which accompanies
this prospectus, we have two material weaknesses in our internal
controls. If these material weaknesses are not remediated or
otherwise mitigated they could result in material misstatements
in our financial statements in the future, which would result in
additional restatements or impact our ability to timely file our
financial statements in the future; |
|
|
|
|
pending litigation relating to our restatement could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition; |
|
|
|
an ongoing SEC investigation regarding our accounting
restatement could materially adversely affect us; |
|
|
|
|
we experienced significant losses in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
Although we recorded net income in 2004 and the first nine
months of 2005, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able
to achieve or sustain future profitability. Our future
profitability is dependent upon, among other things, our ability
to continue to successfully implement our turnaround strategy
for our North American Tire segment; |
|
|
|
|
we face significant global competition, increasingly from lower
cost manufacturers, and our market share could decline; |
|
|
|
our secured credit facilities limit the amount of capital
expenditures that we may make; |
|
|
|
higher raw material and energy costs may materially adversely
affect our operating results and financial condition; |
|
|
|
continued pricing pressures from vehicle manufacturers may
materially adversely affect our business; |
|
|
|
our financial position, results of operations and liquidity
could be materially adversely affected if we experience a labor
strike, work stoppage or other similar difficulty; |
|
|
|
our U.S. pension plans are significantly underfunded and our
required contributions to those plans are expected to increase.
Proposed legislation affecting pension plan funding could result
in the need for additional cash payments by us into our U.S.
pension plans and increase the insurance premiums we pay to the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation; |
|
|
|
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 and the indenture
governing our senior secured notes could have a material adverse
effect on our liquidity and our operations; |
ii
|
|
|
|
|
our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate
risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase
significantly; |
|
|
|
if healthcare costs continue to escalate, our financial results
may be materially adversely affected; |
|
|
|
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 deposit cash collateral to support an
appeal bond if we are subject to a significant adverse judgment,
which may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity; |
|
|
|
we are subject to extensive government regulations that may
materially adversely affect our ongoing operating results; |
|
|
|
potential changes in foreign laws and regulations could prevent
repatriation of future earnings to our parent company in the
United States; |
|
|
|
our international operations have certain risks that may
materially adversely affect our operating results; |
|
|
|
|
we may be impacted by economic and supply disruptions associated
with global events including war, acts of terror, civil
obstructions and natural disasters; |
|
|
|
|
the terms and conditions of our global alliance with Sumitomo
Rubber Industries, Ltd. (SRI) provide for certain exit
rights available to SRI in 2009 or thereafter, upon the
occurrence of certain events, which could require us to make a
substantial payment to acquire SRIs interest in certain of
our joint venture alliances (which include much of our
operations in Europe); |
|
|
|
|
we have foreign currency translation and transaction risks that
may materially adversely affect our operating results; |
|
|
|
|
|
we may be subject to unexpected production reductions resulting
from the continuing impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita which
could harm our results of operations; and |
|
|
|
|
if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our
business could be materially adversely affected. |
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.

Recent Developments
Conversion Period for Notes. The notes are currently
convertible into shares of our common stock and will remain
convertible through December 31, 2005, the last day of the
current fiscal quarter. The notes became convertible because the
last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20
trading days during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending
on October 17, 2005 (the 11th trading day of the
current fiscal quarter) was greater than 120 percent of the
conversion price in effect on such day. The notes could be
convertible after December 31, 2005 if the sale price
condition is met in any future fiscal quarter or if any of the
other conditions to conversion set forth in the indenture
governing the notes are met. See Description of the
Notes Conversion Rights.

Ranking |
|
The notes are our senior, unsecured obligations and rank equal
in right of payment with all of our other unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness. At September 30, 2005, our
consolidated senior secured indebtedness, including capital
leases, totaled approximately $3.1 billion and our
consolidated senior unsecured indebtedness totaled approximately
$2.4 billion. The notes are not guaranteed by any of our
subsidiaries and, accordingly, the notes are structurally
subordinated to the existing and future indebtedness and other
liabilities of our subsidiaries. At September 30, 2005, the
total subsidiary liabilities, including guarantees of our
indebtedness, was approximately $8.0 billion. |

Make Whole Premium |
|
If a fundamental change that is a change of
control (each as defined below under Description of
the Notes Designated Event Permits Holders to

than cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) or in the same form
of consideration into which shares of our common stock have been
converted in connection with the change of control. The amount
of the make whole premium, if any, will be based on the
stock price (as defined below under
Description of the Notes Determination of Make
Whole Premium) and the effective date of the fundamental
change. A description of how the make whole premium will be
determined and tables illustrating the make whole premium that
would apply in different circumstances is provided under

the maturity date, if the last reported sale price of our common
stock for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive
trading-day period ending on the 11th trading day of such fiscal
quarter is greater than 120% of the applicable conversion price
per share of our common stock on such 11th trading day; or |

Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the risks described below and
other information contained in this prospectus before making an
investment decision. Additional risks and uncertainties not
presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may
also impair our business operations. Any of the events discussed
in the risk factors below may occur. If they do, our business,
results of operations or financial condition could be materially
adversely affected. In such an instance, the trading price of
our securities could decline, and you might lose all or part of
your investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
|
|
|
Our internal controls over financial reporting are not
effective. |
We announced restatements of our financial statements in each of
the past two years. These restatements resulted in part from
deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting,
which have not been fully remedied.
In its report on internal control over financial reporting,
pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
management concluded that as of December 31, 2004, we did
not maintain effective internal controls over financial
reporting, based on criteria established in the Internal
Control Integrated Framework, issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. This conclusion was based on the existence of
material weaknesses in account reconciliations and segregation
of duties. As stated in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005, these material weaknesses continued to
exist as of September 30, 2005. In addition to these
material weaknesses, we had several other internal control
deficiencies at December 31, 2004.
We are currently implementing programs and procedures designed
to further upgrade our controls and procedures, but these
programs and procedures are not yet fully implemented. If we are
unsuccessful in our effort to permanently and effectively remedy
the weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to
report accurately or timely our financial condition, our results
of operations and cash flows. If we are unable to report
financial information accurately, we could be subject to, among
other things, fines, additional securities litigation and a
general loss of investor confidence, any one of which could
adversely affect us. For more information, see
Item 9A Controls and Procedures in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004, Item 4 of Part I of our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005, and Managements Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting which accompanies this
prospectus.
|
|
|
Pending litigation relating to our restatement could have
a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows
and results of operation. |
Since our announcement on October 22, 2003 of the
restatement of our previously issued financial results for the
years ended 1998 through 2002 and for the first and second
quarters of 2003, at least 36 lawsuits have been filed
against us and certain of our current or former officers or
directors. These actions have been consolidated into three
separate actions in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Ohio. We intend to vigorously defend these
lawsuits. However, we cannot currently predict or determine the
outcome or resolution of these proceedings or the timing for
their resolution, or reasonably estimate the amount, or
potential range, of possible loss, if any. In addition to any
damages that we may suffer, our managements efforts and
attention may be diverted from our ordinary business operations
in order to address these claims. The final resolution of these
lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our financial
position, cash flows and results of operation.

An ongoing SEC investigation regarding our accounting
restatement could materially adversely affect us. |
Following our announcement on October 22, 2003 of the
restatement of our previously issued financial results, the SEC
advised us that it had initiated an informal inquiry into the
facts and circumstances related to the restatement. On
February 5, 2004, the SEC advised us that it had approved
the issuance of a formal order of investigation. On
August 16, 2005, we announced that we had received a
Wells Notice from the SEC
6
indicating that the staff of the SEC intends to recommend that a
civil or administrative enforcement action be brought against us
for alleged violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
relating to the maintenance of books, records and internal
accounting controls, the establishment of disclosure controls
and procedures, and periodic SEC filing requirements. The
alleged violations relate to the account reconciliation matters
giving rise to our initial decision to restate in October 2003.
We have also been informed that Wells Notices have been issued
to a former chief financial officer and a former chief
accounting officer of ours. We continue to cooperate with the
SEC regarding this matter. We are unable to predict the outcome
of this process, and an unfavorable outcome could harm our
reputation and our business.

|
It is uncertain whether we will successfully implement the
turnaround strategy for our North American Tire segment. |
We are in the process of implementing a turnaround strategy for
our North American Tire segment. Based in part on successes in
implementing this strategy, North American Tire had positive
segment operating income in 2004, after suffering operating
losses in the previous two years. Additional progress in
implementing the turnaround strategy is needed, however, to
enable the North American Tire business segment to continue to
achieve and maintain profitability.
The ability of the North American Tire segment to achieve and
maintain profitability may be hampered by trends that continue
to negatively affect our North American Tire business, including
industry overcapacity, which limits pricing power, increased
competition from low-cost manufacturers and unsettled economic
conditions in the United States. In addition, our North American
Tire segment has been, and may continue to be negatively
affected by higher than expected raw materials and energy
prices, as well as the continuing burden of legacy pension and
post-retirement benefit costs.
We cannot assure that our turnaround strategy will be
successful. If our turnaround strategy is not successful, we
will not be able to achieve or sustain future profitability,
which would impair our ability to meet our debt and other
obligations and would otherwise negatively affect our financial
condition and operations.
|
|
|
We face significant global competition and our market
share could decline. |
New tires are sold under highly competitive conditions
throughout the world. We compete with other tire manufacturers
on the basis of product design, performance, price, reputation,
warranty terms, customer service and consumer convenience. On a
worldwide basis, we have two major competitors, Bridgestone/
Firestone (based in Japan) and Michelin (based in France), that
dominate the markets of the countries in which they are based
and are aggressively seeking to maintain or improve their
respective shares of the North American, European, Latin
American and other world tire markets. Other significant
competitors include Continental, Cooper Tire, Pirelli, Toyo,
Yokohama, Kumho, Hankook and various regional tire
manufacturers. Our principal competitors produce significant
numbers of tires in low-cost markets. We are limited by our
master contract with the United Steelworkers (USW) in our
ability to shift certain production of new products to low-cost
markets and our credit agreements limit the amount of capital
expenditures we may make. Our ability to compete successfully
will depend, in significant part, on our ability to reduce costs
by such means as reduction of excess capacity, leveraging global
purchasing, improving productivity, elimination of redundancies
and increasing production at low-cost supply sources. If we are
unable to compete successfully, our market share may decline,
materially adversely affecting our results of operations and
financial condition.

|
|
Our U.S. pension plans are significantly underfunded and
our required contributions to these plans are expected to
increase. |
The unfunded amount of the aggregate projected benefit
obligation for our pension plans was $3.12 billion at
December 31, 2004, compared to $2.75 billion at
December 31, 2003. The underfunding in our
U.S. pension plans represents the vast majority of these
amounts. Our funding obligations under our U.S. plans are
governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
as amended (ERISA). In 2004, we met or exceeded our
required funding obligations for these plans under ERISA.
Estimates of the amount and timing of our future funding
obligations are based on various assumptions. These include
assumptions concerning, among other things, the actual and
projected market performance of the pension plan assets;
interest rates on long-term obligations; statutory requirements;
and demographic data for pension plan
7
participants. The amount and timing of our future funding
obligations also depend on whether we elect to make
contributions to the pension plans in excess of those required
under ERISA; such voluntary contributions could reduce or defer
our funding obligations.
Although subject to change, we expect to make contributions to
our domestic pension plans of approximately $410 million in
2005. At the end of 2005, certain interest rate relief measures
relating to the calculation of pension funding obligations will
expire. If the current measures are extended, we estimate that
in 2006 we will be required to contribute approximately
$550 million to $600 million to our domestic pension
plans. If the current measures are not extended or replaced, we
estimate that in 2006 we would be required to contribute
approximately $700 million to $750 million to our
domestic pension plans. For more information on the calculation
of our estimated domestic pension plan contributions, see
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations Commitments and
Contingencies. The anticipated funding obligations under
our pension plans for 2007 and thereafter cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time because these estimates vary materially
depending on the assumptions used to determine them.
Nevertheless, we presently expect that our funding obligations
under our pension plans in 2007 and subsequent years will be
substantial and could have a material adverse impact on our
liquidity.
Recently introduced pension reform legislation would replace the
interest rate used to calculate pension funding obligations,
require more rapid funding of underfunded plans, restrict the
use of techniques that reduce funding volatility, limit pension
increases in underfunded plans, and raise the insurance premiums
charged by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. It is not
possible to predict whether Congress will adopt pension reform
legislation, or what form any legislation might take. If
legislation similar to the pending bills were enacted, it could
materially increase our pension funding obligations and
insurance premiums, and could limit our ability to negotiate
pension increases for our union-represented employees.
|
|
|
Higher raw material and energy costs may materially
adversely affect our operating results and financial
condition. |
Raw material costs increased significantly in 2004 and have
continued to increase in 2005, driven by increases in costs of
oil and natural rubber. Market conditions may prevent us from
passing these increased costs on to our customers through timely
price increases. Additionally, higher raw material costs around
the world may continue to hinder our ability to fully realize
our turnaround strategy. As a result, higher raw material and
energy costs may result in declining margins and operating
results.
|
|
|
Continued pricing pressures from vehicle manufacturers may
materially adversely affect our business. |
Approximately 29% of the tires we sell are sold to vehicle
manufacturers for mounting as original equipment. Pricing
pressure from vehicle manufacturers has been a characteristic of
the tire industry in recent years. Many vehicle manufacturers
have policies of seeking price reductions each year. Although we
have taken steps to reduce costs and resist price reductions,
current and future price reductions could materially adversely
impact our sales and profit margins. If we are unable to offset
continued price reductions through improved operating
efficiencies and reduced expenditures, those price reductions
may result in declining margins and operating results.
|
|
|
If we fail to extend or renegotiate our primary collective
bargaining contracts with our labor unions as they expire from
time to time, or if our unionized employees were to engage in a
strike or other work stoppage, our business and operating
results could be materially harmed. |
We are a party to collective bargaining contracts with our labor
unions, which represent a significant number of our employees.
In particular, our master collective bargaining agreement with
the USW covers approximately 13,700 employees in the United
States at December 31, 2004 and expires in July 2006.
Although we believe that our relations with our employees are
satisfactory, no assurance can be given that we will be able to
successfully extend or renegotiate our collective bargaining
agreements as they expire from time to time. If we fail to
extend or renegotiate our collective bargaining agreements, if
disputes with our unions arise, or if our unionized workers
engage in a strike or other work stoppage, we could incur higher
ongoing labor costs or experience a significant disruption of
operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our
business.

|
|
Our long-term ability to meet our obligations and to repay
maturing indebtedness is dependent on our ability to access
capital markets in the future and to improve our operating
results. |
The adequacy of our liquidity depends on our ability to achieve
an appropriate combination of operating improvements, financing
from third parties, access to capital markets and asset sales.
Although we completed a major refinancing of our senior secured
credit facilities on April 8, 2005, issued
$400 million in Senior unsecured notes in June 2005,
and repaid our 6.375% Euro Notes due 2005 upon maturity on
June 6, 2005, we may undertake additional financing actions
in the capital markets in order to ensure that our future
liquidity requirements are addressed. These actions may include
the issuance of additional equity.
Because of our debt ratings, our operating performance over the
past few years and other factors, access to the capital markets
cannot be assured. Our ongoing ability to access the capital
markets is also dependent on the degree of success we have
implementing our North American Tire turnaround strategy. See
It is uncertain whether we will successfully
implement the turnaround strategy for our North American Tire
segment. Future liquidity requirements also may make it
necessary for us to incur additional debt. However, a
substantial portion of our assets is 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. Our failure to access the
capital markets or incur additional debt in the future could
have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations,
and could require us to consider further measures, including
deferring planned capital expenditures, reducing discretionary
spending, selling additional assets and restructuring existing
debt.
|
|
|
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. |
We have a substantial amount of debt. As of September 30,
2005, our debt (including capital leases) on a consolidated
basis was approximately $5.5 billion. Our substantial
amount of debt and other obligations could have an important
consequence to you. For example, it could:
|
|
|
|
|
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations; |
|
|
|
impair our ability to obtain financing in the future for working
capital, capital expenditures, research and development,
acquisitions or general corporate requirements; |
|
|
|
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and
industry conditions; |
|
|
|
limit our ability to use operating cash flow in other areas of
our business because we must dedicate a substantial portion of
these funds to payments on our indebtedness; |
|
|
|
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes
in our business and the industry in which we operate; and |
|
|
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our
competitors that have less debt. |
The agreements governing our debt, including our credit
agreements, limit, but do not prohibit, us from incurring
additional debt and we may incur a significant amount of
additional debt in the future, including additional secured
debt. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, our
ability to satisfy our debt obligations may become more limited.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on, or to refinance, our
debt and other obligations will depend on our financial and
operating performance, which, in turn, is subject to our ability
to implement our turnaround strategy, prevailing economic
conditions and certain financial, business and other factors
beyond our control. If our cash flow and capital resources are
insufficient to fund our debt service and other obligations,
including required pension contributions, we may be forced to
reduce or delay expansion plans and capital expenditures, sell
material assets or operations, obtain additional capital or
restructure our debt. We cannot assure you that our operating
performance, cash flow and capital resources will be sufficient
to pay our debt obligations when they become due. We cannot
assure you that we would be able to dispose of material assets
or operations or restructure our debt or other obligations if
necessary or, even if we were able to take such actions, that we
could do so on terms that were acceptable to us.
9
|
|
|
Any failure to be in compliance with any material
provision or covenant of our debt instruments could have a
material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations. |
The indentures and other agreements governing our secured credit
facilities and secured notes and our other outstanding
indebtedness impose significant operating and financial
restrictions on us. These restrictions may affect our ability to
operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage
of potential business opportunities as they arise. These
restrictions limit our ability to, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock; |
|
|
|
pay dividends and other distributions with respect to our
capital stock or repurchase our capital stock or make other
restricted payments; |
|
|
|
enter into transactions with affiliates; |
|
|
|
create or incur liens to secure debt; |
|
|
|
make certain investments; |
|
|
|
enter into sale/leaseback transactions; |
|
|
|
sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of assets; |
|
|
|
incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting certain
subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
use proceeds from the sale of certain assets; and |
|
|
|
engage in certain mergers or consolidations and transfers of
substantially all assets. |
Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by
events beyond our control, and unanticipated events could
require us to seek waivers or amendments of covenants or
alternative sources of financing or to reduce expenditures. We
cannot assure you that such waivers, amendments or alternative
financing could be obtained, or if obtained, would be on terms
acceptable to us.
Our first lien credit facility and European term loan and
revolving credit facility require us to maintain certain
specified thresholds of Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated
interest expense (as defined in each of the facilities). In
addition, under these facilities, we are required not to permit
our ratio of consolidated net secured indebtedness (net of cash
in excess of $400 million) to Consolidated EBITDA to be
greater than certain specified thresholds. These restrictions
could limit our ability to plan for or react to market
conditions or meet extraordinary capital needs or otherwise
restrict capital activities.
A breach of any of the covenants or restrictions contained in
any of our existing or future financing agreements, including
the financial covenants in our secured credit facilities, could
result in an event of default under those agreements. Such a
default could allow the lenders under our financing agreements,
if the agreements so provide, to discontinue lending, to
accelerate the related debt as well as any other debt to which a
cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies, and/or to
declare all borrowings outstanding thereunder to be due and
payable. In addition, the lenders could terminate any
commitments they have to provide us with further funds. If any
of these events occur, we cannot assure you that we will have
sufficient funds available to pay in full the total amount of
obligations that become due as a result of any such
acceleration, or that we will be able to find additional or
alternative financing to refinance any such accelerated
obligations. Even if we obtain additional or alternative
financing, we cannot assure you that it would be on terms that
would be acceptable to us. Finally, we have agreed with the USW
that if we do not remain in compliance with our prevailing
principal bank financial covenants, we will seek a substantial
private equity investment. Any such investor or investors could
exercise influence over the management of our business and may
have interests that conflict with the interests of our other
investors.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to remain in
compliance with the covenants to which we are subject in the
future and, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain
waivers from our lenders or amend the covenants.

|
Our capital expenditures may not be adequate to maintain
our competitive position. |
Our capital expenditures are limited by our liquidity and
capital resources and restrictions in our credit agreements. The
amount Goodyear has available for capital spending is limited by
the need to pay its other expenses and to maintain adequate cash
reserves and borrowing capacity to meet unexpected demands that
may arise. In addition, our credit facilities limit the amount
of capital expenditures that we may make to $700 million in
each year through 2010. The amounts of permitted capital
expenditures may be increased with the proceeds of equity
issuances. In addition, unused capital expenditures may be
carried over into the next year. During the first nine months of
2005, capital expenditures totaled approximately
$370 million. Capital expenditures are expected to
approximate $650 million in 2005. We believe that our ratio
of capital expenditures to sales is lower than the comparable
ratio for our principal competitors.
Productivity improvements through process re-engineering, design
efficiency and manufacturing cost improvements may be required
to offset potential increases in labor and raw material costs
and competitive price pressures. In addition, as part of our
strategy to increase the percentage of tires sold in higher cost
markets that are produced at our lower-cost production
facilities, we may need to modernize or expand certain of those
facilities. If we are unable to make sufficient capital
expenditures, or to maximize the efficiency of the capital
expenditures we do make, we may be unable to achieve
productivity improvements, which may harm our competitive
position.
|
|
|
Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest
rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to
increase significantly. |
Certain of our borrowings, primarily borrowings under our credit
facilities, are at variable rates of interest and expose us to
interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service
obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase
even though the amount borrowed remained the same, which would
require us to use more of our available cash to service our
indebtedness. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
enter into swap agreements or other hedging arrangements in the
future, or that existing or future hedging arrangements will
offset increases in interest rates.
|
|
|
We may incur significant costs in connection with asbestos
claims. |
We are among many defendants named in legal proceedings
involving claims of individuals relating to alleged exposure to
asbestos. At September 30, 2005, approximately
125,800 claims were pending against us alleging various
asbestos-related personal injuries purported to have resulted
from alleged exposure to asbestos in certain rubber encapsulated
products or aircraft braking systems manufactured by us in the
past or to asbestos in certain of our facilities. We expect that
additional claims will be brought against us in the future. Our
ultimate liability with respect to such pending and unasserted
claims is subject to various uncertainties, including the
following:
|
|
|
|
|
the number of claims that are brought in the future; |
|
|
|
the costs of defending and settling these claims; |
|
|
|
the risk of insolvencies among our insurance carriers; |
|
|
|
the possibility that adverse jury verdicts could require us to
pay damages in amounts greater than the amounts for which we
have historically settled claims; |
|
|
|
the risk of changes in the litigation environment or federal and
state law governing the compensation of asbestos claimants; |
|
|
|
the risk that the bankruptcies of other asbestos defendants may
increase our costs; and |
|
|
|
the risk that our insurance will not cover all of our asbestos
liabilities. |
Because of the uncertainties related to such claims, it is
reasonably possible that we may incur a material amount in
excess of our current reserve for such claims. In addition, if
any of the foregoing risks were to
11
materialize, the resulting costs could have a material adverse
impact on our liquidity, financial position and results of
operations in future periods.
|
|
|
We may be required to deposit cash collateral to support
an appeal bond if we are subject to a significant adverse
judgment, which may have a material adverse effect on our
liquidity. |
We are subject to various legal proceedings. If we wish to
appeal any future adverse judgment in any of these proceedings,
we may be required to post an appeal bond with the relevant
court. We would likely be required to issue a letter of credit
to the surety posting the bond. We may issue up to an aggregate
of $700 million in letters of credit under our
$1.5 billion U.S. first lien credit facility. As of
September 30, 2005, we had $498 million in letters of
credit issued under this facility. If we are subject to a
significant adverse judgment and do not have sufficient
availability under our credit facilities to issue a letter of
credit to support an appeal bond, we may be required to pay down
borrowings under the facilities or deposit cash collateral in
order to stay the enforcement of the judgment pending an appeal.
A significant deposit of cash collateral may have a material
adverse effect on our liquidity. If we are unable to post cash
collateral, we may be unable to stay enforcement of the judgment.
|
|
|
We are subject to extensive government regulations that
may materially adversely affect our ongoing operating
results. |
We are subject to regulation by the Department of Transportation
and by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or
NHTSA, which have established various standards and regulations
applicable to tires sold in the United States for highway use.
NHTSA has the authority to order the recall of automotive
products, including tires, having safety defects related to
motor vehicle safety. NHTSAs regulatory authority was
expanded in November 2000 as a result of the enactment of The
Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and
Documentation Act, or TREAD Act. The TREAD Act imposes numerous
requirements with respect to the early warning reporting of
property damage, injury and fatality claims and tire recalls and
also requires tire manufacturers, among other things, to conform
with revised and more rigorous tire standards, once the revised
standards are implemented. Compliance with the TREAD Act
regulations will increase the cost of producing and distributing
tires in the United States. In addition, while we believe that
our tires are free from design and manufacturing defects, it is
possible that a recall of our tires, under the TREAD Act or
otherwise, could occur in the future. A substantial recall could
have a material adverse effect on our reputation, operating
results and financial position. Compliance with these and other
federal, state and local laws and regulations in the future may
require a material increase in our capital expenditures and
could materially adversely affect the Companys earnings
and competitive position.
|
|
|
Our international operations have certain risks that may
materially adversely affect our operating results. |
Goodyear has manufacturing and distribution facilities located
in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
International operations are subject to certain inherent risks,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
exposure to local economic conditions; |
|
|
|
potential adverse changes in the diplomatic relations of foreign
countries with the United States; |
|
|
|
hostility from local populations and insurrections; |
|
|
|
adverse currency exchange controls; |
|
|
|
restrictions on the withdrawal of foreign investment and
earnings; |
|
|
|
withholding taxes and restrictions on the withdrawal of foreign
investment and earnings; |
|
|
|
labor regulations; |
|
|
|
expropriations of property; |
|
|
|
the potential instability of foreign governments; |
12
|
|
|
|
|
risks of renegotiation or modification of existing agreements
with governmental authorities; |
|
|
|
export and import restrictions; and |
|
|
|
other changes in laws or government policies. |
The likelihood of such occurrences and their potential effect on
Goodyear vary from country to country and are unpredictable.
|
|
|
We have foreign currency translation and transaction risks
that may materially adversely affect our operating
results. |
The financial condition and results of operations of certain of
our operating entities are reported in various foreign
currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars at the
applicable exchange rate for inclusion in our financial
statements. As a result, the appreciation of the
U.S. dollar against these foreign currencies has a negative
impact on our reported sales and operating margin (and
conversely, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against
these foreign currencies has a positive impact). For the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2004, we estimate that foreign
currency translation favorably impacted sales by approximately
$542 million compared to the prior year. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2005, foreign currency
translation favorably impacted sales by approximately
$283 million compared to the corresponding period in 2004.
The volatility of currency exchange rates may materially
adversely affect our operating results.
|
|
|
The terms and conditions of our global alliance with
Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (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 SRIs interest in certain of their joint
venture alliances. |
In 1999, we entered into a global alliance with SRI. Under the
global alliance agreements, we acquired 75%, and SRI owned 25%,
of Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V., which concurrently with
the transaction acquired substantially all of SRIs tire
businesses in Europe and most of Goodyears tire businesses
in Europe. We also acquired 75%, and SRI acquired 25%, of
Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd., a holding company
that purchased SRIs tire manufacturing operations in North
America and certain of its primarily OE-related tire sales and
distribution operations. In addition, we also acquired 25% of
the capital stock of two newly-formed tire companies in Japan,
as well as 51% of the capital stock of a newly-formed technology
company and 80% of the capital stock of a newly-formed global
purchasing company. SRI owns the balance of the capital stock in
each of these companies. Under the Umbrella Agreement between us
and SRI, SRI has the right to require us to purchase from SRI
its ownership interests in the European and North American joint
ventures in September 2009 if certain triggering events have
occurred. In addition, the occurrence of certain other events
enumerated in the Umbrella Agreement, including certain
bankruptcy events or changes in control of Goodyear, could
provide SRI with the right to require us to repurchase these
interests immediately. While we have not done any current
valuation of these businesses, our cost of acquiring an interest
in these businesses in 1999 was approximately $1.2 billion.
Any payment required to be made to SRI pursuant to an exit under
the terms of the global alliance agreements could be
substantial. We cannot assure you that our operating
performance, cash flow and capital resources would be sufficient
to make such a payment or, if we were able to make the payment,
that there would be sufficient funds remaining to satisfy our
other obligations. The withdrawal of SRI from the global
alliance could also have other adverse effects on our business.
|
|
|
If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel our
business could be materially adversely affected. |
Our business substantially depends on the continued service of
key members of our management. The loss of the services of a
significant number of members of our management could have a
material adverse effect on our business. Our future success will
also depend on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled
personnel, such as engineering, project management and senior
management professionals. Competition for these employees is
intense, and we could experience difficulty from time to time in
hiring and retaining the personnel necessary to support our
business. If we do not succeed in retaining our current
employees and attracting new high quality employees, our
business could be materially adversely affected.
13
We may be subject to unexpected production
reductions resulting from the continuing impact of Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita which could harm our results of
operations.
In the third quarter of 2005 we were subject to disruptions in
the supply of certain raw materials resulting from the impact of
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The hurricanes adversely impacted
our results of operation in the third quarter by approximately
$10 million. We currently anticipate fourth quarter charges
of approximately $20 million in connection with the
hurricanes, primarily related to reductions in production in
October at our chemical plants and certain North American Tire
facilities.
Although the raw material shortages caused by the hurricanes
initially caused us to reduce North American Tire production by
approximately 30%, by mid-October tire production returned to
pre-hurricane levels. However, the continuing impact of the
hurricanes, particularly on the stability of the power grid and
transportation systems in the Texas Gulf Coast, may subject us
to future supply shortages of key raw materials in the fourth
quarter. If we face such shortages and are unable to adjust our
production capabilities or secure alternative sources of raw
materials we could again experience intermittent production
reductions at certain of our North American Tire facilities. If
such production reductions were of significant duration, the
amount of such charges could have a material adverse affect on
our results of operations.
Risks Relating to the Notes
|
|
|
The notes are unsecured and rank pari passu with our other
senior debt; the notes are effectively subordinated to our
secured debt and structurally subordinated to all liabilities of
our subsidiaries. |
The notes rank pari passu with other senior debt of Goodyear,
including our trade payables. The notes are not secured by any
of our assets or those of our subsidiaries. As a result, the
notes will be effectively subordinated to any secured debt we
may incur. In any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or other
similar proceeding, holders of our secured debt may assert
rights against any assets securing such debt in order to receive
full payment of their debt before those assets may be used to
pay the holders of the notes. At September 30, 2005, we had
approximately $5.5 billion of total debt (including capital
leases) on a consolidated basis, $3.1 billion of which is
senior secured debt.
Furthermore, our subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal
entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to
make payments on the notes or to make any funds available for
that purpose. Holders of notes will not have any claims as a
creditor against our subsidiaries. As a result, the notes will
be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our
subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of any bankruptcy,
liquidation or reorganization of any subsidiary, the rights of
the holders of the notes to participate in the assets of such
subsidiary will rank behind the claims of that subsidiarys
creditors, including trade creditors (except to the extent we
have a claim as a creditor of such subsidiary). The ability of
our subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other payments to us
may be restricted by, among other things, applicable corporate
and other laws and regulations as well as agreements to which
our subsidiaries may become a party. At September 30, 2005,
the total subsidiary liabilities, including guarantees of our
indebtedness, was approximately $8.0 billion.
|
|
|
We expect that the trading value of the notes will be
significantly affected by the price of our common stock and
other factors and our stock price may be volatile and could
decline substantially. |
Because the notes are convertible into shares of our common
stock, the market price of the notes is expected to be
significantly affected by the market price of our common stock.
This may result in greater volatility in the trading value of
the notes than would be expected for nonconvertible debt
securities we issue. From the beginning of 2002 to
September 30, 2005, the reported high and low sales prices
for our common stock ranged from a low of $3.35 per share to a
high of $28.31 per share. The market price of our common stock
will likely continue to fluctuate in response to factors
including those listed elsewhere in this Risk
Factors section, under the caption Forward-looking
Information Safe Harbor Statement and the
following, many of which are beyond our control:
|
|
|
|
|
quarterly fluctuations in our operating and financial results; |
|
|
|
changes in financial estimates and recommendations by financial
analysts; |
14
|
|
|
|
|
sales by investors who view notes as more attractive means for
equity participation and hedging or arbitrage activity; |
|
|
|
fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our
competitors; |
|
|
|
our credit rating with major credit rating agencies; |
|
|
|
the prevailing interest rates being paid by other companies
similar to us; |
|
|
|
other financing activity in which we may engage; |
|
|
|
our financial condition, financial performance and future
prospects; |
|
|
|
the global threat of terrorism; and |
|
|
|
the overall condition of the financial markets and the economy. |
The stock markets in general, including the New York Stock
Exchange, have experienced substantial price and trading
fluctuations. These fluctuations have resulted in volatility in
the market prices of securities that often has been unrelated or
disproportionate to changes in operating performance. These
broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market prices
of our notes and our common stock.
|
|
|
The make whole premium on notes converted in connection
with, or tendered for purchase upon, a change of control may not
adequately compensate the holder for the lost option time value
of notes. |
If a fundamental change that constitutes a change of control
occurs on or prior to June 15, 2011, holders of notes will
be entitled to a make whole premium in respect of notes
converted in connection with, or (in certain circumstances)
tendered for purchase upon, the change of control. The amount of
the make whole premium will be determined based on the date on
which the change of control becomes effective and the price paid
per share of our common stock in the transaction constituting
the change of control, as described below under
Description of the Notes Determination of Make
Whole Premium.
While the make whole premium is designed to compensate the
holder of notes for the lost option time value of notes as a
result of a change of control, the amount of the make whole
premium is only an approximation of the lost value and may not
adequately compensate the holder for such loss. In addition, if
a change of control occurs after June 15, 2011 or if the
price paid per share in the transaction constituting the change
of control is less than $9.26 (subject to adjustment), no make
whole premium entitlement will arise.
|
|
|
Conversion of the notes will dilute the ownership
interests of existing stockholders. |
The conversion of some or all of the notes will dilute the
ownership interest of our existing stockholders. Any sales in
the public market of the common stock issuable upon such
conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of
our common stock. In addition, the existence of the notes may
encourage short selling in our common stock by market
participants which could depress the price of our common stock.
|
|
|
We may be unable to repay or repurchase the notes. |
At maturity, the entire outstanding principal amount of the
notes will become due and payable by us. In addition, holders of
the notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or
a portion of their notes on each June 15 of 2011, 2014, 2019,
2024 and 2029 or if a designated event, as defined in the
indenture, occurs. See Description of the
Notes Purchase of Notes by Us at the Option of the
Holders and Designated Event Permits
Holders to Require Us to Purchase Notes. A designated
event would likely constitute an event of default and result in
the acceleration of the maturity of our existing credit
facilities. In addition, the repurchase of the notes upon a
designated event may constitute an event of default under our
then-existing debt instruments. We cannot assure you that we
will have sufficient financial resources, or will be able to
arrange financing, to pay the principal amount at maturity or
the repurchase price in cash with respect to any notes tendered
by holders for repurchase on any of these dates or upon a
designated event. In addition, restrictions in our then-existing
credit facilities or other indebtedness may not allow us to
repay or repurchase
15
the notes. Our failure to repay or repurchase the notes when
required would result in an event of default with respect to the
notes. Any such default, in turn, may cause a default under the
terms of our other debt.
|
|
|
The notes are not protected by restrictive
covenants. |
The indenture governing the notes does not contain any financial
or operating covenants or restrictions on the payments of
dividends, the incurrence of indebtedness or the issuance or
repurchase of securities by us or any of our subsidiaries. Our
ability to recapitalize, incur additional debt and take a number
of other actions that are not limited by the terms of the notes
could have the effect of diminishing our ability to make
payments on the notes when due. The indenture also contains no
covenants or other provisions to afford protection to holders of
the notes in the event of a fundamental change involving us,
except to the extent described under Description of the
Notes Designated Event Permits Holders to Require Us
to Purchase Notes.
|
|
|
Shares eligible for public sale after this offering could
adversely affect our stock price and in turn the market price of
the notes. |
The future sale of a substantial number of our shares of common
stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales
could occur, could significantly reduce our stock price which,
in turn, could adversely affect the market price of the notes.
It could also make it more difficult for us to raise funds
through equity offerings in the future.
|
|
|
An active trading market may not develop for the
notes. |
We do not intend to list the notes on any securities exchange.
As a result, we cannot ensure that any market for the notes will
develop or, if one does develop, that it will be maintained. If
an active market for the notes fails to develop or be sustained,
the trading price of the notes could be materially and adversely
affected and could trade at prices that may be lower than the
initial offering price of the notes.
In addition, the liquidity of the trading market for the notes,
if any, and the market price quoted for the notes may be
adversely affected by changes in interest rates in the market
for comparable securities and by changes in our financial
performance or prospects, as well as by declines in the prices
of securities, or the financial performance or prospects of,
similar companies.
|
|
|
The conditional conversion feature of the notes could
result in you receiving less than the value of the common stock
into which a note is convertible. |
The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock only
if specified conditions are met. If the specific conditions for
conversion are not met, you will not be able to convert your
notes, and you may not be able to receive the value of the
common stock into which the notes would otherwise be convertible.
|
|
|
If you hold notes, you will not be entitled to any rights
with respect to our common stock, but you will be subject to all
changes made with respect to our common stock. |
If you hold notes, you will not be entitled to any rights with
respect to our common stock (including, without limitation,
voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other
distributions on our common stock), but you will be subject to
all changes affecting the common stock. You will only be
entitled to rights on the common stock if and when we deliver
shares of common stock to you upon conversion or required
repurchase of your notes. For example, in the event that an
amendment is proposed to our Code of Regulations or Articles of
Incorporation requiring stockholder approval and the record date
for determining the stockholders of record entitled to vote on
the amendment occurs prior to your conversion of notes, you will
not be entitled to vote on the amendment, although you will
nevertheless be subject to any changes in the powers,
preferences or special rights of our common stock or other
classes of capital stock.
|
|
|
The conversion rate of the notes may not be adjusted for
all dilutive events. |
The conversion rate of the notes is subject to adjustment for
certain events, including but not limited to the issuance of
stock dividends on our common stock, the issuance of rights or
warrants, subdivisions, combinations, distributions of capital
stock, indebtedness or assets, certain cash dividends and
certain tender
16
or exchange offers as described under Description of the
Notes Conversion Rate Adjustments. The
conversion rate will not be adjusted for other events, such as a
third party tender or exchange offer or an issuance of common
stock for cash, that may adversely affect the trading price of
the notes or the common stock. There can be no assurance that an
event that adversely affects the value of the notes, but does
not result in an adjustment to the conversion rate, will not
occur.
|
|
|
Our corporate structure may materially adversely affect
our ability to meet our debt service obligations under the
notes. |
A significant portion of our consolidated assets is held by our
subsidiaries. We have manufacturing and/or sales operations in
most countries in the world, often through subsidiary companies.
Our cash flow and our ability to service our debt, including the
notes, depends on the results of operations of these
subsidiaries and upon the ability of these subsidiaries to make
distributions of cash to us, whether in the form of dividends,
loans or otherwise. In recent years, our foreign subsidiaries
have been a significant source of cash flow for our business. In
certain countries where we operate, transfers of funds into or
out of such countries are generally or periodically subject to
various restrictive governmental regulations and there may be
adverse tax consequences to such transfers. In addition, our
debt instruments in certain cases place limitations on the
ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions of cash to us.
While the indenture limits our ability to enter into agreements
that restrict our ability to receive dividends and other
distributions from our subsidiaries, these limitations are
subject to a number of significant exceptions, and we are
generally permitted to enter into such instruments in connection
with financing our foreign subsidiaries.
|
|
|
We may issue preferred stock whose terms could adversely
affect the voting power or value of our common stock. |
Our Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations authorize
us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or
more classes or series of preferred stock having such
preferences, powers and relative, participating, optional and
other rights, including preferences over our common stock
respecting dividends and distributions, as our board of
directors may determine. The terms of one or more classes or
series of preferred stock could adversely impact the voting
power or value of our common stock which the notes are
convertible into thereby adversely affecting the value of the
notes. For example, we might afford holders of preferred stock
the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or
on the happening of specified events or the right to veto
specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption
rights or liquidation preferences we might assign to holders of
preferred stock could affect the residual value of our common
stock which the notes are convertible into, thereby adversely
affecting the value of the notes.
|
|
|
Provisions of Ohio law and provisions in our Articles of
Incorporation and Code of Regulations could delay or prevent a
change in control of us, even if that change would be beneficial
to our stockholders. |
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio. Ohio
law imposes some restrictions on mergers and other business
combinations between us and holders of 10% or more of our
outstanding common stock. In addition, provisions in our
Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations may have the
effect, either alone or in combination with each other, of
making more difficult or discouraging a business combination or
an attempt to obtain control of Goodyear that is not approved by
our board of directors, even if such combination would be
beneficial to our stockholders. Since the notes are convertible
into our common stock this could adversely affect the value of
the notes.
17
Use of Proceeds
The selling holders will receive all of the net proceeds of the
resale of the notes and our common stock issuable upon
conversion of the notes. We will not receive any of the proceeds
from the resale of any of these securities.

Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2003 were
inadequate to cover fixed charges. The coverage deficiency was
$641.7 million. |
|
(2) |
Earnings for the year ended December 31, 2001 were
inadequate to cover fixed charges. The coverage deficiency was
$271.2 million. |
For purposes of calculating our ratio of earnings to fixed
charges:
Earnings consist of income (loss) before income taxes plus
(i) amortization of previously capitalized interest,
(ii) minority interest in net income of consolidated
subsidiaries with fixed charges, (iii) proportionate share
of fixed charges of investees accounted for by the equity
method, and (iv) proportionate share of net loss of
investees accounted for by the equity method, less
(i) capitalized interest, (ii) minority interest in
net loss of consolidated subsidiaries, and
(iii) undistributed proportionate share of net income of
investees accounted for by the equity method.
Fixed charges consist of (i) interest, whether expensed or
capitalized, (ii) amortization of debt discount, premium or
expense, (iii) the interest portion of rental expense, and
(iv) proportionate share of fixed charges of investees
accounted for by the equity method.

As discussed in the Note to the Financial Statements No. 2,
Restatement, restatement adjustments included in the 2003
Form 10-K were classified as Accounting
Irregularities,Account Reconciliations,
Out-of-Period, Discount Rate,
Chemical Products Segment and Tax
Adjustments. Restatement adjustments included in the 2004
Form 10-K were classified as SPT, General
and Product Liability, Account Reconciliations
and Tax Adjustments.
The increase in net loss in 2003 of $5.3 million was due
primarily to tax adjustments. Charges for the write-off of
goodwill related to sold assets, adjustments to leased tire
assets and changes to the timing of rationalization charges at
South Pacific Tyres, or SPT, were substantially offset by the
benefit of a change in our estimated liability for general and
product liability discontinued products.
For the restatement of 2003, pretax loss was increased by
charges of $5.4 million due to the impact of Account
Reconciliations and $2.3 million due to SPT. Pretax loss in
2003 was reduced by benefits of $7.3 million due to General
and Product Liability. The net loss in 2003 was increased by
$4.8 million due to the impact of Tax Adjustments.
Net loss as previously reported in 2002 increased by
$121.2 million due primarily to an additional Federal and
state deferred tax asset valuation allowance of
$121.6 million.
For the restatement of 2002, pretax loss as previously reported
was increased by charges of $14.9 million due to the impact
of Discount Rate, $6.8 million due to Account
Reconciliations and $3.5 million due to Accounting
Irregularities. Pretax loss as previously reported was reduced
by a benefit of $15.2 million due to the impact of
Out-of-Period and $14.2 million due to Chemical Products
Segment. Net loss as previously reported was increased by
$122.5 million for Tax Adjustments.
Net loss as restated in 2002 increased by $19.9 million due
primarily to charges for tax adjustments, an additional Federal
and state deferred tax asset valuation allowance and changes to
the timing of rationalization charges at SPT.
For the restatement of 2002, pretax loss as restated was
increased by charges of $3.5 million due to the impact of
SPT and $1.8 million due to Account Reconciliations. The
net loss in 2002 was increased by a charge of $7.2 million
due to Tax Adjustments.
Net loss as previously reported in 2001 increased by
$50.5 million due primarily to the timing of the
recognition of manufacturing variances to reflect the actual
cost of inventories of the Chemical Products Segment, the
erroneous recording of cost of goods sold for the sale of
inventory at Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems, LLC, Accounting
Irregularities adjustments and other Account Reconciliation
adjustments. On November 1, 2000, Goodyear made a
contribution, which included inventory, to Wingfoot Commercial
Tire Systems, LLC, a consolidated subsidiary. On a consolidated
basis, the inventory was valued at Goodyears historical
cost. Upon the sale of the inventory, consolidated cost of goods
sold was understated by $11 million. Additionally,
inventory and fixed asset losses totaling $4.2 million were
not expensed as incurred and were written off. Chemical Products
Segment adjustments were the result of a stand-alone audit
conducted in 2003 of a portion of the Chemical Products business
segment.
For the restatement of 2001, pretax loss as previously reported
was increased by charges of $18.9 million due to the impact
of Chemical Products Segment, $14.5 million due to
Out-of-Period, $13.2 million due to Accounting
Irregularities, $12.8 million due to Account
Reconciliations and $5.5 million due to Discount Rate. The
tax effect of restatement adjustments reduced the net loss by
$17.9 million.
Net loss as restated in 2001 increased by $0.6 million due
primarily to charges for changes in the timing of
rationalization charges at SPT, an asset impairment charge at
SPT, interest expense related to a long term contractual
obligation with SPT and a benefit from the reduction in goodwill
amortization expense due to impact of changing exchange rates.
For the restatement of 2001, pretax loss as restated was reduced
by a benefit of $0.6 million due to the impact of SPT, but
was increased by charges of $1.7 million due to Account
Reconciliations.
21
Net income as previously reported in 2000 increased by $11.0 due
primarily to Chemical Products Segment adjustments and the
Account Reconciliation adjustments, primarily Interplant and
Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems, LLC.
For the restatement of 2000, pretax income as previously
reported was reduced by charges of $21.7 million due to the
impact of Account Reconciliations. Pretax income increased by
benefits of $19.1 million due to the impact of Chemical
Products Segment, $14.5 million due to Discount Rate,
$5.8 million due to Out-of-Period and $0.6 million due
to Accounting Irregularities. The tax effect of restatement
adjustments was an expense of $7.3 million.
Net income as restated in 2000 decreased by $1.3 million
due primarily to a charge to recognize certain payments we made
pursuant to a long term supply agreement with SPT as a capital
contribution, 50% of which was attributed to our joint venture
partner pursuant to the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue 00-12, Accounting by an Investor for
Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees of an Equity
Method Investee, and benefits from the tax effect of the
SPT capital contribution charge, a reduction in goodwill
amortization expense due to impact of changing exchange rates
and corrections to intercompany accounts at a subsidiary in
Europe.
For the restatement of 2000, pretax income as restated was
reduced by $7.5 million due to SPT and increased
$0.3 million due to Account Reconciliations.
(2) Refer to Principles of Consolidation in the
Note to the Financial Statements No. 1, Accounting
Policies, included herein.
(3) Net sales in 2004 increased $1.2 billion resulting
from the consolidation of two businesses in accordance with
FIN 46. Net Income in 2004 included net after-tax charges
of $133.3 million, or $0.70 per share-diluted, for
rationalizations and related accelerated depreciation, general
and product liability-discontinued products, insurance fire loss
deductibles and asset sales. Net income in 2004 also included
net after-tax benefits of $236.0 million, or $1.23 per
share-diluted, from an environmental insurance settlement, net
favorable tax adjustments and a favorable lawsuit settlement.
(4) Net Loss in 2003 included net after-tax charges of
$515.1 million (as restated), or $2.93 per
share-diluted (as restated), for rationalizations, general and
product liability-discontinued products, accelerated
depreciation and asset write-offs, net favorable tax
adjustments, an unfavorable settlement of a lawsuit against
Goodyear in Europe, and rationalization costs at Goodyears
SPT equity affiliate. In addition, Engineered Products recorded
account reconciliation adjustments in the restatements totaling
$18.9 million or $0.11 per share in 2003.
(5) Net Loss in 2002 included net after-tax charges of
$22.0 million (as restated), or $0.13 per
share-diluted (as restated), for general and product
liability discontinued products, asset sales,
rationalizations, write-off of a miscellaneous investment and a
net rationalization reversal at Goodyears SPT equity
affiliate. Net loss in 2002 also included a non-cash charge of
$1.22 billion (as restated), or $6.95 per
share-diluted (as restated), to establish a valuation allowance
against net federal and state deferred tax assets.
(6) Net Loss in 2001 included net after-tax charges of
$187.4 million (as restated), or $1.18 per
share-diluted (as restated), for rationalizations, asset sales,
general and product liability discontinued products,
rationalization costs at Goodyears SPT equity affiliate
and costs related to a tire replacement program.
(7) Net Income in 2000 included net after-tax charges of
$71.9 million (as restated), or $0.45 per
share-diluted (as restated), for rationalizations, a change in
Goodyears domestic inventory costing method from LIFO to
FIFO, rationalization costs at Goodyears SPT equity
affiliate, general and product liability
discontinued products and asset sales.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(All per share amounts are diluted)
Overview
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is one of the
worlds leading manufacturers of tires and rubber products
with one of the most recognizable brand names in the world. We
have a broad global footprint with 101 manufacturing
facilities in 28 countries. We operate our business through
six operating segments: North American Tire; European Union
Tire; Latin American Tire; Eastern Europe, Middle East and
Africa Tire (Eastern Europe Tire); Asia/ Pacific
Tire; and Engineered Products.
Effective January 1, 2005, Chemical Products was integrated
into North American Tire. The integration did not change how we
report net income. Segment information for all periods presented
has been restated to reflect the integration. During 2004,
$818.6 million, or 53.4%, of Chemical Products sales
and 75.2% of its segment operating income resulted from
intercompany transactions. Our total segment sales no longer
reflect these intercompany sales. In addition, the segment
operating income previously attributable to Chemical
Products intercompany transactions is no longer included
in the total segment operating income that we report.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 |
In the third quarter of 2005 we continued to make progress on
our turnaround strategy. For the third quarter ended
September 30, 2005, we recorded net income of
$142 million compared to net income of $38 million in
the comparable period of 2004. Improvements in operating income
in all five of the tire segments contributed to the increase in
net income. The improvement was driven by our strategy to focus
on the higher value replacement market and being more selective
in the OE market, strong performance of high performance and
premium branded tires, our ability to recover higher raw
material costs through pricing actions and the results of our
cost reduction programs. To extend and enhance our turnaround
strategy, we announced additional cost reduction initiatives we
plan to implement over the next several years. The initiatives
include reducing our high-cost manufacturing capacity by between
8 percent and 12 percent resulting in anticipated
annual savings of between $100 million and
$150 million. In connection with the reduction in
manufacturing capacity, we anticipate incurring cash
restructuring charges of approximately $150 million to
$250 million over the next three years.
We continued our transformation to a market-driven,
consumer-focused company with the introduction in North America
of the Fortera® featuring TripleTred
Technologytm,
a premium SUV tire incorporating the same technology we
introduced with the successful launch of our Assurance®
line of tires in 2004. In Europe, we introduced two new high
performance winter tires, the Goodyear Ultra Grip 7 and Dunlop
SP Winter Sport 3D, both of which have received highly favorable
consumer reviews.
Set forth below are our expectations for industry volume growth
in consumer and commercial tires for 2005 and 2006 in both the
OE and replacement segments in North America and the European
Union. Also included is the actual growth in these segments
through September 30, 2005:

Given the industry estimates above, we expect slight industry
volume improvement in the fourth quarter in the OE consumer
segment in North America and a decrease in industry volume in
the commercial OE segment in the European Union. Also, in the
fourth quarter, industry replacement volumes are expected to be
generally consistent with those experienced through the first
nine months, although we expect a slight improvement in industry
volumes for commercial replacement tires in the European Union.
We also continued to make progress on our capital structure
improvement plan in the third quarter with the completion of two
asset dispositions. We completed the sale of our Indonesian
natural rubber plantations at a sale price of approximately
$62 million, subject to post-closing adjustments, and also
completed the sale of our Wingtack adhesive resin business in
which we received approximately $55 million in cash and
retained about $10 million in working capital. We are also
awaiting the necessary approvals to complete the sale of assets
of our North American farm tire business to Titan International
for approximately $100 million. In connection with the
transaction, we expect to record a loss of approximately
$70 million on the sale, primarily related to pension and
retiree medical costs. We also announced that we are exploring
the possible sale of our Engineered Products business. While our
prior refinancing activities have improved our liquidity
position, we continue to review potential divestitures of other
non-core assets and other financing options, including the
issuance of additional equity.
While our operating results continued to improve through the
first nine months, we continue to face several challenges,
including rising raw material costs (for the full year 2005 raw
material costs are expected to increase approximately 10%
compared to 2004 and in 2006 are expected to increase
approximately 8% to 10% compared to 2005), a high level of debt
and significant legacy costs, including required domestic
pension funding obligations in 2006 of as much as
$750 million. Although our pension obligations are expected
to peak in 2006, we anticipate being subject to significant
required pension funding obligations in 2007 and beyond.
On October 3, 2005, we announced that we had implemented
temporary reductions in production at our North American Tire
facilities due to disruptions in the supply of certain raw
materials resulting from the impact of Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita. As a result of the supplier shortages, North American Tire
production was initially reduced by approximately 30%. However,
tire production returned to pre-hurricane levels by mid-October.
The continuing impact of the hurricanes may subject us to
additional supply shortages of key raw materials that could
result in intermittent production reductions at certain of our
North American Tire facilities in the fourth quarter. The
hurricanes had an adverse impact of approximately
$10 million on our results of operations in the third
quarter primarily reflecting the unabsorbed fixed costs related
to the temporary closures of our chemical plants on the Texas
Gulf Coast and production cuts at our North American Tire plants
as well as the impairment of certain assets. We anticipate
fourth quarter charges of approximately $20 million,
primarily related to reductions in production in October at our
chemical plants and certain North American Tire facilities.
Despite the impact of the hurricanes, we anticipate
year-over-year gains in operating performance during the fourth
quarter of 2005, however, the rate of those gains is expected to
be less than they were in the third quarter of 2005.
We remain subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission
investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the
restatement of our historical financial statements. In
connection with this investigation, we received a Wells
Notice from the staff of the SEC in August 2005. The Wells
Notice is described more fully under the heading Legal
Proceedings SEC Investigation. Because the
investigation is currently ongoing, the outcome cannot be
predicted at this time. Also as described in our Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30,
2005, we continue to have two material weaknesses in our
internal control over financial reporting. We continue to
implement remedial measures to address internal control matters.
Our results of operations, financial position and liquidity
could be adversely affected in future periods by loss of market
share or lower demand in the replacement market or from the
original equipment industry, which would result in lower levels
of plant utilization and an increase in unit costs. Also, we
could experience higher raw material and energy costs in future
periods. These costs, if incurred, may not be recoverable due to
pricing pressures present in todays highly competitive
market and we may not be able to continue improving our product
mix. Our future results of operations are also dependent on our
ability to (i) successfully
24
implement cost reduction programs to address, among other
things, higher wage and benefit costs, and (ii) where
necessary, reduce excess manufacturing capacity. We are unable
to predict future currency fluctuations. Sales and earnings in
future periods would be unfavorably impacted if the
U.S. dollar strengthens against various foreign currencies,
or if economic conditions deteriorate in the United States or
Europe. Continued volatile economic conditions or changes in
government policies in emerging markets could adversely affect
sales and earnings in future periods. We may also be impacted by
economic disruptions associated with global events including
natural disasters, war, acts of terror and civil obstructions.
|
|
|
Fiscal Years 2004, 2003 and 2002 |
In 2004, we had net income of $114.8 million, compared to
significant net losses for 2003 and 2002 of $807.4 million
(as restated) and $1,246.9 million (as restated),
respectively. The net loss in 2002 included a non-cash charge of
$1.22 billion (as restated) to establish a valuation
allowance against our net deferred tax assets. The improvement
in 2004 compared to 2003 is due in part to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
a decrease in net after-tax rationalization charges of
$215.1 million, |
|
|
|
|
|
an after-tax gain from a settlement with certain insurance
companies related to coverage for environmental matters of
$156.6 million, |
|
|
|
|
|
a decrease in net after-tax charges for accelerated depreciation
and asset writeoffs of $122.0 million, |
|
|
|
|
|
a decrease in net after-tax charges for general and product
liability discontinued products of
$85.4 million (as restated), and |
|
|
|
|
|
an increase in net favorable tax adjustments of
$10.5 million. |
|
Earnings in 2004 also benefited from an increase in segment
operating income in each of our operating segments, as set forth
below:

Our North American Tire segment accounted for approximately 47%
of our consolidated net sales in 2004. In recent years, North
American Tire results have been negatively impacted by several
factors, including over-capacity which limits pricing leverage,
weakness in the replacement tire market, increased competition
from low cost manufacturers, a decline in market share and
increases in medical and pension costs. In 2004, North American
Tires segment operating income improved to
$73.5 million on sales of approximately $8.6 billion.
The improvement was due primarily to sustained improvement in
pricing and a shift in product mix toward more profitable
Goodyear brand tires. Additional improvement was a result of
savings from rationalization programs, lower benefit costs and
increased sales in the consumer replacement market and
commercial markets. In addition, our second largest segment,
European Union Tire, which accounted for approximately 24% of
our consolidated net sales in 2004, had its segment operating
income improve to $252.7 million on sales of approximately
$4.5 billion. Approximately 11% of the increase in segment
operating income from 2003 to 2004 was attributable to currency
translation, primarily the Euro. The improvement in European
Union Tire also reflected improved pricing and product mix.
Although our North American segments performance improved
in 2004, it contributed just 7.8% of our total segment operating
income on 46.7% of total segment sales, due primarily to legacy
costs for North
25
American retirees such as pension and other postretirement
benefit expenses. In contrast, our Latin American and Eastern
Europe Tire segments represented only 13.8% of our total segment
sales in 2004, while approximately 47.1% of our total segment
operating income came from these segments. As a result,
increasing competition and unexpected changes in government
policies or currency values in these regions could have a
disproportionate impact on our ability to sustain profitability.
Higher raw material costs, particularly for natural rubber,
continue to negatively impact our results. Raw material costs in
our Cost of Goods Sold (CGS) in 2004 increased by approximately
$280 million from 2003.
Our results of operations, financial position and liquidity
could be adversely affected in future periods by loss of market
share or lower demand in the replacement market or from the
original equipment industry, which would result in lower levels
of plant utilization that would increase unit costs. Also, we
could experience higher raw material and energy costs in future
periods. These costs, if incurred, may not be recoverable due to
pricing pressures present in todays highly competitive
market. Our future results of operations are also dependent on
our ability to (i) successfully implement cost reduction
programs to address, among other things, higher wage and benefit
costs, and (ii) where necessary, reduce excess
manufacturing capacity. We are unable to predict future currency
fluctuations. Sales and earnings in future periods would be
unfavorably impacted if the U.S. dollar strengthens against
various foreign currencies, or if economic conditions
deteriorate in the United States or Europe. Continued volatile
economic conditions or changes in government policies in
emerging markets could adversely affect sales and earnings in
future periods. We may also be impacted by economic disruptions
associated with global events including war, acts of terror and
civil obstructions.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 |
Net sales in the third quarter of 2005 were $5,030 million,
increasing $330 million, or 7.0% from $4,700 million
in the 2004 third quarter. Net income of $142 million, or
$0.70 per share, was recorded in the 2005 third quarter
compared to net income of $38 million, or $0.20 per
share, in the third quarter 2004.
Net sales in the third quarter of 2005 in our tire segments were
impacted by favorable price and product mix of approximately
$182 million, higher volume of approximately
$62 million and a positive impact from currency translation
of approximately $58 million. Sales also increased
approximately $28 million in the Engineered Products
Division, mainly due to improvements in price and product mix of
approximately $19 million and currency translation of
$11 million.
Worldwide tire unit sales in the third quarter of 2005 were
58.4 million units, an increase of 1.0 million units,
or 1.8% compared to the 2004 period. This increase was driven by
a 0.6 million, or 1.6% unit increase in the consumer
replacement market and a 0.6 million unit, or 4.6% increase
in the consumer OE market. The increase was offset by lower unit
sales of 0.1 million units, or 1.7% in the commercial
market and 0.1 million units, or 13% in other tire related
businesses.
CGS in the third quarter of 2005 was $4,008 million,
an increase of $258 million, or 6.9% compared to the third
quarter 2004, while decreasing as a percentage of sales to 79.7%
from 79.8% in the 2004 comparable period. CGS for our tire
segments in the third quarter of 2005 increased due to higher
raw material costs of approximately $141 million and higher
volume of approximately $49 million. Also contributing to
the CGS increase was foreign currency translation of
approximately $20 million and product mix related
manufacturing cost increases of approximately $32 million.
CGS also increased by $38 million in the Engineered
Products Division, primarily related to higher conversion costs
of $10 million, increased raw material costs of
$7 million and foreign currency translation of
$9 million. Partially offsetting these CGS increases was
lower conversion costs of approximately $13 million in our
tire segments, driven by lower OPEB costs and savings from
rationalization programs.
Selling, administrative and general expense (SAG) was
$707 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to
$703 million in 2004, an increase of $4 million. The
increase was driven primarily by higher wage and benefits
expenses, which increased by $11 million in the quarter for
our tire segments, foreign currency
26
translation of $6 million and charges of $4 million
related to the recent hurricanes. Partially offsetting these
increases in SAG were lower product liability expenses of
$11 million and cost savings of $3 million from
rationalization programs. SAG as a percentage of sales was 14.1%
in the third quarter 2005, compared to 14.9% in the third
quarter of 2004.
Interest expense increased by $8 million to
$103 million in the third quarter of 2005 from
$95 million in the third quarter of 2004 primarily as a
result of higher average interest rates and interest penalties.
Other (income) and expense was $35 million of income in the
2005 third quarter, an improvement of $73 million, compared
to $38 million of expense in the 2004 third quarter. The
increase was primarily related to a gain of $25 million on
the sale of the Wingtack adhesive resins business in the North
American Tire Segment and a gain of $14 million from an
insurance settlement with certain insurance companies related to
environmental and asbestos coverage. In addition, in the third
quarter of 2005, we had $8 million of lower
general & product liability expenses. Also in the three
months ended September 30, 2004, there was an additional
$12 million of higher financing fee expenses due to higher
deferred fee levels and shorter amortization periods compared to
the comparable period in 2005.
For the third quarter of 2005, we recorded tax expense of
$71 million on income before income taxes and minority
interest in net income of subsidiaries of $238 million.
Included in this amount was a net tax benefit of $3 million
primarily related to the settlement of prior years tax
liabilities. For the third quarter of 2004, we recorded tax
expense of $29 million on income before income taxes and
minority interest in net income of subsidiaries of
$85 million. Included in this amount was a net tax benefit
of $44 million primarily related to the settlement of prior
years tax liabilities.
2005 rationalization charges consisted of manufacturing and
corporate support group associate reductions in North American
Tire, manufacturing associate reductions and a sales function
reorganization in European Union Tire, and sales, marketing, and
research and development associate reductions in Engineered
Products.
During the third quarter of 2005, $9 million of new charges
were recorded for the plans initiated in 2005 primarily for
associate severance costs, including $1 million for
non-cash pension special termination benefits. Approximately 265
associates will be released under programs initiated in 2005, of
which approximately 175 were released by September 30, 2005.
Accelerated depreciation charges were recorded for fixed assets
that will be taken out of service in connection with certain
rationalization plans initiated in 2003 and 2004 in the
Engineered Products and European Union Tire Segments. During the
third quarter of 2005 and 2004, $1 million was recorded for
accelerated depreciation charges as Cost of goods sold and
$1 million was recorded in 2004 as Selling, administrative
and general expense.
Additional restructuring charges of $3 million related to
previously announced rationalization plans have not yet been
recorded and are expected to be incurred and recorded within the
next twelve months. We estimate that SAG and CGS were reduced in
the third quarter of 2005 by approximately $9 million as a
result of the implementation of the 2004 and 2005 plans.

Financial Statements included in this prospectus, Note 2,
Costs Associated with Rationalization Programs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 |
Net sales in the first nine months of 2005 were
$14,789 million, increasing $1,268 million, or 9.4%
from $13,521 million in the comparable period of 2004. Net
income for the first nine months of 2005 was $279 million,
or $1.39 per share compared to a net loss of
$10 million, or a loss of $0.06 per share in the first
nine months of 2004.
Net sales in the first nine months of 2005 for our tire segments
were impacted by favorable price and product mix of
approximately $574 million, foreign currency translation of
approximately $283 million, and
27
higher volume of approximately $149 million. Sales also
increased approximately $145 million due to improvements in
the Engineered Products Division, primarily related to increased
volume, improved product mix and foreign currency translation.
Worldwide tire unit sales in the first nine months of 2005 were
170.7 million units, an increase of 2.6 million units,
or 1.5% compared to the 2004 period. This volume improvement in
the first nine months of 2005 was driven by a 2.4 million,
or 2.2% unit increase in the consumer replacement market and a
0.5 million, or 18.0% unit increase in the commercial OE
market, partially offset by a 0.2 million, or 7.8% unit
decrease in the other tire businesses.
CGS was $11,772 million in the first nine months of 2005,
an increase of $956 million, or 8.8% compared to the first
nine months of 2004, while decreasing as a percentage of sales
to 79.6% compared to 80.0% in the comparable period of 2004. The
improvement in our gross margin rate through the first nine
months of 2005 (20.4% in 2005 versus 20.0% in 2004) reflects our
ability to offset increasing raw material costs through pricing,
product mix improvements and cost reduction initiatives. CGS for
our tire segments in the first nine months of 2005 increased due
to higher raw material costs of approximately $371 million
and product mix-related manufacturing cost increases of
approximately $144 million. CGS also increased due to
foreign currency translation of approximately $164 million
and higher volume of approximately $120 million. CGS also
increased by $154 million in the Engineered Products
Division primarily related to higher volume, increased raw
material costs, conversion costs and foreign currency
translation.
In the first nine months of 2005, SAG was $2,139 million,
compared to $2,079 million in 2004, an increase of
$60 million or 2.9%. The increase in our tire segments was
driven primarily by foreign currency translation, which added
$35 million to SAG in the period. Wage and benefits
expenses increased by nearly $30 million when compared to
the comparable period in 2004. In addition, SAG increased by
$16 million due to our acquisition of the remaining 50%
interest of a Swedish retail subsidiary during the third quarter
of 2004 and consolidation of their results beginning with the
acquisition date. Partially offsetting these increases were
lower professional fees associated with the restatement of
$25 million. SAG as a percentage of sales was 14.5% in the
first nine months of 2005, compared to 15.4% in the 2004 period.
Interest expense increased by $38 million to
$306 million in the first nine months of 2005 from
$268 million in the first nine months of 2004 primarily as
a result of higher average interest rates, debt levels and
interest penalties.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, Other
(income) and expense was $5 million of income, compared to
$117 million of expense in the 2004 period, an improvement
of $122 million. The improvement was primarily related to
gains on the sale of assets and insurance settlements. Results
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, included net
gains on asset sales of $41 million, primarily due to the
sale of the Wingtack adhesive resins business and other assets
in the North American Tire Segment. Insurance settlement gains
included $14 million related to the 2004 fire in Germany
and $61 million for insurance settlements with certain
insurance companies related to asbestos and environmental
coverage.
For the first nine months of 2005, we recorded tax expense of
$223 million on income before income taxes and minority
interest in net income of subsidiaries of $581 million.
Included in this amount was a net tax charge of $2 million
primarily related to the settlement of prior years tax
liabilities. For the first nine months of 2004, we recorded tax
expense of $145 million on income before income taxes and
minority interest in net income of subsidiaries of
$178 million. Included in this amount was a net tax benefit
of $50 million primarily related to the settlement of prior
years tax liabilities. 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 Federal and state deferred
tax assets. As a result of the valuation allowance, deferred tax
expense was not recorded on a significant portion of the results
of our North American Tire Segment. Improvement in these results
significantly contributed to the lower effective tax rate from
2004 to 2005.
28
For the first nine months of 2005, $4 million of net
reversals of reserves were recorded, which included
$15 million of reversals for rationalization actions no
longer needed for their originally-intended purposes. These
reversals were partially offset by $11 million of new
rationalization charges. The $15 million of reversals
consisted of $9 million of associate-related costs for
plans initiated in 2004 and 2003, and $6 million primarily
for non-cancelable leases that were exited during the first
quarter related to plans initiated in 2001 and earlier. The
$11 million of charges primarily represent
associate-related costs and consist of $9 million for plans
initiated in 2005 and $2 million for plans initiated in
2004.
Accelerated depreciation charges were recorded for fixed assets
that will be taken out of service in connection with certain
rationalization plans initiated in 2003 and 2004 in the
Engineered Products and European Union Tire Segments. For the
first nine months of 2005 and 2004, accelerated depreciation
charges of $2 million and $6 million, respectively,
were recorded as Cost of goods sold. Accelerated depreciation
charges of $2 million were recorded in the first nine
months of 2004 as Selling, administrative and general expense.
2004 rationalization activities consisted primarily of
warehouse, manufacturing and sales and marketing associate
reductions in Engineered Products, a farm tire manufacturing
consolidation in European Union Tire, administrative associate
reductions in North American Tire, European Union Tire and
corporate functional groups, and manufacturing, sales and
research and development associate reductions in North American
Tire. In fiscal year 2004, net charges were recorded totaling
$56 million. The net charges included reversals of
$39 million related to reserves from rationalization
actions no longer needed for their originally-intended purpose,
and new charges of $95 million. Included in the
$95 million of new charges were $77 million for plans
initiated in 2004, as described above. Approximately 1,400
associates will be released under programs initiated in 2004, of
which approximately 1,070 have been released to date (430 during
the first nine months of 2005). The costs of the 2004 actions
consisted of $40 million related to future cash outflows,
primarily for associate severance costs, $32 million in
non-cash pension curtailments and postretirement benefit costs
and $5 million for non-cancelable lease costs and other
exit costs. Costs in 2004 also included $16 million related
to plans initiated in 2003, consisting of $14 million of
non-cancelable lease costs and other exit costs and
$2 million of associate severance costs. The reversals are
primarily the result of lower than initially estimated associate
severance costs of $35 million and lower leasehold and
other exit costs of $4 million. Of the $35 million of
associate severance cost reversals, $12 million related to
previously-approved plans in Engineered Products that were
reorganized into the 2004 warehouse, manufacturing, and sales
and marketing associate reductions.
We estimate that SAG and CGS were reduced in the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 by approximately $25 million
as a result of the implementation of the 2004 and 2005 plans.

Financial Statements included in this prospectus, Note 2,
Costs Associated with Rationalization Programs.

Fiscal Years 2004, 2003 and 2002 |
Net sales in 2004 were $18.35 billion, compared to
$15.10 billion (as restated) in 2003 and
$13.83 billion (as restated) in 2002.
Net income of $114.8 million, $0.63 per share, was
recorded in 2004. A net loss of $807.4 million (as
restated), $4.61 per share (as restated), was recorded in
2003. A net loss of $1.25 billion (as restated),
$7.47 per share (as restated), was recorded in 2002,
primarily resulting from a non-cash charge of $1.22 billion
(as restated), $6.95 per share (as restated) to establish a
valuation allowance against our net Federal and state deferred
tax assets.
Net sales in 2004 increased approximately $3.3 billion from
2003. The increase was due primarily to the consolidation of two
affiliates deemed to be variable interest entities, South
Pacific Tyres (SPT) and Tire & Wheels Assemblies
(T&WA), in January 2004. The consolidation of these
businesses increased net sales in
29
2004 by approximately $1.2 billion. Additionally, improved
pricing and product mix improvements in all SBUs, primarily in
North American Tire, increased 2004 net sales by
approximately $799 million. Higher unit volume in North
American Tire, Latin American Tire, Eastern Europe Tire and
European Union Tire, as well as higher volume in Engineered
Products, had a favorable impact on 2004 net sales of
approximately $606 million. Currency translation, mainly in
Europe, favorably affected 2004 net sales by approximately
$542 million.

Our worldwide tire unit sales in 2004 increased 4.6% from 2003.
North American Tire volume in 2004 increased 1.3% from 2003,
while international unit sales increased 7.5%. Worldwide
replacement unit sales in 2004 increased 6.0% from 2003, due
primarily to the consolidation of SPT and improvement in North
American Tire, Latin American Tire and Eastern Europe Tire.
Original equipment unit sales in 2004 increased 1.2% from 2003,
due primarily to the consolidation of SPT and improvement in
Eastern Europe Tire, Latin American Tire and European Union
Tire. Original equipment and replacement tire unit sales in 2004
increased by approximately 0.8 million and 5.5 million
units, respectively, as a result of the consolidation of SPT.
Net sales (as restated) in 2003 increased $1.3 billion from
2002 (as restated) due primarily to favorable currency
translation of approximately $737 million, mainly in
Europe. Favorable pricing and product mix in all business units,
primarily Latin American Tire and North American Tire, accounted
for approximately $418 million of the increase in revenues.
In Europe, strong replacement sales also had a favorable impact
on 2003 net sales of approximately $104 million.
Our worldwide tire unit sales in 2003 decreased 0.3% from 2002.
North American Tire volume decreased 2.5% in 2003, while
international unit sales increased 1.7%. Worldwide replacement
unit sales in 2003 increased 2.0% from 2002, due to increases in
all regions except North American Tire and Asia/ Pacific Tire.
Original equipment unit sales decreased 5.6% in 2003, due
primarily to a decrease in North American Tire.
CGS was $14.69 billion in 2004, compared to
$12.48 billion in 2003 and $11.29 billion in 2002. CGS
was 80.1% of sales in 2004, compared to 82.6% in 2003 and 81.6%
in 2002. CGS in 2004 increased by approximately
$1.0 billion due to the previously mentioned consolidation
of SPT and T&WA in accordance with FIN 46, by
approximately $429 million in 2004 due to higher volume and
approximately $409 million due to currency translation,
primarily in Europe. Manufacturing costs related to changes in
product mix increased 2004 CGS by approximately
$210 million. In addition, 2004 raw material costs
increased by approximately $280 million, although
conversion costs were flat. Savings from rationalization
programs totaling approximately $127 million favorably
affected CGS in 2004. CGS in 2004 also includes a fourth quarter
benefit of approximately $23.4 million ($19.3 million
after tax or $0.09 per share) resulting from a settlement
with certain suppliers of various raw materials.
30
CGS (as restated) in 2003 increased by approximately
$554 million from 2002 due to currency movements, primarily
in Europe. In addition, raw material costs in 2003, largely for
natural and synthetic rubber, rose by approximately
$335 million. CGS in 2003 also increased by approximately
$133 million due to accelerated depreciation charges, asset
impairment charges and write-offs related to 2003
rationalization actions. Manufacturing costs related to
improvements in product mix, primarily in North American Tire,
increased 2003 CGS by approximately $184 million. In
addition, costs increased in Latin American Tire due to
inflation. Savings from rationalization programs of
approximately $61 million, mainly in European Union Tire
and North American Tire, and the change in vacation policy
described below of approximately $33 million favorably
affected 2003 CGS. CGS in 2003 included $16.8 million of
net charges related to Engineered Products account
reconciliations that were recorded in conjunction with the
restatement.
Research and development expenditures are expensed in CGS as
incurred and were $378.2 million in 2004, compared to
$351.0 million (as restated) in 2003 and
$386.5 million (as restated) in 2002. Research and
development expenditures in 2005 are expected to be
approximately $380 to $390 million.

|
Selling, Administrative and General Expense |
SAG was $2.83 billion in 2004, compared to
$2.37 billion in 2003 and $2.20 billion in 2002. SAG
in 2004 was 15.4% of sales, compared to 15.7% in 2003 and 15.9%
in 2002. SAG increased by approximately $200 million in
2004 due to the previously mentioned consolidation of SPT and
T&WA in accordance with FIN 46. SAG in 2004 included
expenses of approximately $30 million for professional fees
associated with the restatement and SEC investigation, and
approximately $25 million for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. We
estimate that external costs for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance will
be approximately $10 million to $15 million in 2005.
Currency translation, primarily in Europe, increased SAG in 2004
by approximately $101 million. Advertising expenses were
approximately $46 million higher due in part to the launch
of the Assurance tire in North America, and wage and benefit
costs rose by approximately $46 million. SAG in 2004
benefited from approximately $28 million in savings from
rationalization programs.
SAG (as restated) increased in 2003 due primarily to currency
translation, mainly in Europe, of approximately
$132 million and higher wages and benefits of approximately
$72 million. SAG also reflected increased advertising
expense, largely in European Union Tire and North American Tire,
of approximately $29 million and increased corporate
consulting fees of approximately $23 million. SAG was
favorably affected by savings from rationalization programs of
approximately $74 million and by the change in vacation
policy described below of approximately $34 million.
|
|
|
Other Cost Reduction Measures |
During 2002, we announced the suspension of the matching
contribution portion of our savings plans for all salaried
associates, effective January 1, 2003. Effective
April 20, 2003, we suspended the matching contribution
portion of the savings plan for bargaining unit associates,
including those covered by our master contract with the USW. We
contributed approximately $38 million to the savings plans
in 2002. In addition, we changed our vacation policy for
domestic salaried associates in 2002. As a result of the changes
to the policy, we did not incur vacation expense for domestic
salaried associates in 2003. Vacation expense was approximately
$67 million lower in 2003 compared to 2002 due to the
impact of this change in vacation policy.
Interest expense in 2004 was $368.8 million, compared to
$296.3 million in 2003 and $242.7 million (as
restated) in 2002. Interest expense increased in 2004 from 2003
due to higher average debt levels, higher average interest rates
and the April 1, 2003 restructuring and refinancing of our
credit facilities. Interest expense increased in 2003 from 2002
(as restated) due to higher average debt levels. While we expect
interest expense to increase in 2005 due to higher interest
rates and higher average debt levels, we expect that the
$3.35 billion refinancing we announced in February 2005
will partially offset this increase by reducing the amount over
LIBOR we pay to maintain the refinanced facilities.

Other (Income) and Expense |
Other (income) and expense was $8.2 million in 2004,
compared to $260.9 million (as restated) in 2003 and
$48.5 million in 2002. Other (income) and expense included
accounts receivable sales fees, debt refinancing fees and
commitment fees totaling $116.5 million, $99.4 million
and $48.4 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The
higher level of financing fees and financial instruments in 2003
and 2004 was due to costs resulting from refinancing activities
in those years. Amounts in 2004 included $20.5 million of
deferred costs written-off in connection with refinancing
activities in 2004. Financing fees and financial instruments
included $45.6 million in 2003 related to new facilities in
that year. Refer to the Note to the Financial Statements
No. 11, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial
Instruments, for further information about refinancing
activities. We expect to incur additional financing fees in the
future related to refinancings and capital market transactions.
Other (income) and expense included net charges for general and
product liability-discontinued products totaling
$52.7 million, $138.1 million (as restated) and
$33.8 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These
charges related to asbestos personal injury claims and for
liabilities related to Entran II claims, net of insurance
recoveries. Of the $52.7 million of net expense recorded in
2004, $41.4 million related to Entran II claims
($141.4 million of expense and $100.0 million of
insurance recoveries) and $11.3 million related to asbestos
claims ($13.0 million of expense and $1.7 million of
probable insurance recoveries). Of the $138.1 million (as
restated) of net expense recorded in 2003, $180.4 million
related to Entran II claims ($255.4 million of expense
and $75.0 million of insurance recoveries) and
$(42.3) million (as restated) related to asbestos claims
($24.3 million of expense and $66.6 million of
probable insurance recoveries). Of the $33.8 million of net
expense recorded in 2002, $9.8 million related to
Entran II claims and $24.0 million related to asbestos
claims. We did not record any probable insurance recoveries in
2002. Refer to the Note to the Financial Statements No. 20,
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, included herein, for
further information about general and product liabilities.
Other (income) and expense in 2004 included a gain of
$13.3 million ($10.3 million after tax or
$0.05 per share) on the sale of assets in North American
Tire, European Union Tire and Engineered Products. In addition,
a loss of $17.5 million ($17.8 million after tax or
$0.09 per share) was recorded in 2004 on the sale of
corporate assets and assets in North American Tire and European
Union Tire, including a loss of $14.5 million
($15.6 million after tax or $0.08 per share) on the
write-down of the assets of our natural rubber plantations in
Indonesia. Other (income) and expense in 2004 also included a
charge of $11.7 million ($11.6 million after tax or
$0.07 per share) for insurance fire loss deductibles
related to fires at our facilities in Germany, France and
Thailand. During 2004, approximately $36 million in
insurance recoveries were received related to these fire losses.
Other (income) and expense in the 2004 fourth quarter included a
benefit of $156.6 million ($156.6 million after tax or
$0.75 per share) resulting from a settlement with certain
insurance companies. We will receive $159.4 million
($156.6 million plus imputed interest of $2.8 million)
in installments in 2005 and 2006 in exchange for releasing the
insurers from certain past, present and future environmental
claims. A significant portion of the costs incurred by us
related to these claims had been recorded over prior years.
Other (income) and expense in 2003 included a loss of
$17.6 million ($8.9 million after tax or
$0.05 per share) on the sale of 20,833,000 shares of
common stock of Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. in the second
quarter. A loss of $14.4 million ($13.2 million after
tax or $0.08 per share) was recorded in 2003 on the sale of
assets in Engineered Products, North American Tire and European
Union Tire. A gain of $6.9 million ($5.8 million after
tax or $0.04 per share) was recorded in 2003 resulting from
the sale of assets in Asia/Pacific Tire, Latin American Tire and
European Union Tire.
Other (income) and expense in 2002 included gains of
$28.0 million ($23.7 million after tax or
$0.14 per share) resulting from the sale of assets in Latin
American Tire, Engineered Products and European Union Tire. The
write-off of a miscellaneous investment of $4.1 million
($4.1 million after tax or $0.02 per share) was also
included in Other (income) and expense in 2002.

Foreign Currency Exchange |
Net foreign currency exchange loss was $23.4 million in
2004, compared to a net loss of $40.7 million (as restated)
in 2003 and a net gain of $8.7 million (as restated) in
2002. Foreign currency exchange loss in 2004 was lower than in
2003 (as restated), as 2003 (as restated) reflected the
weakening of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. dollar. The
loss in 2003 (as restated) included approximately
$48 million of increased losses versus 2002 due to currency
movements on U.S. dollar-denominated monetary items in
Brazil and Chile. Net foreign currency exchange gain in 2002 (as
restated) benefited by approximately $16 million from
currency movements on U.S. dollar-denominated monetary
items in Brazil. A loss of approximately $8 million
resulting from currency movements on
U.S. dollar-denominated monetary items in Argentina was
also recorded in 2002.

Equity in (Earnings) Losses of Affiliates |
Equity in earnings of affiliates in 2004 was income of
$8.4 million, compared to a loss of $14.5 million (as
restated) in 2003 and a loss of $13.8 million (as restated)
in 2002. The improvement in 2004 was due primarily to improved
results at Rubbernetwork.com and the consolidation of SPT. Our
share of losses at SPT was included in 2003 and 2002. SPT was
consolidated effective January 1, 2004, pursuant to the
provisions of FIN 46.
For 2004, we recorded tax expense of $207.9 million on
income before income taxes and minority interest in net income
of subsidiaries of $380.5 million. For 2003, we recorded
tax expense of $117.1 million (as restated) on a loss
before income taxes and minority interest in net income of
subsidiaries of $657.5 million (as restated). For 2002, we
recorded tax expense of $1.23 billion (as restated) on
income before income taxes and minority interest in net income
of subsidiaries of $36.6 million (as restated).
The difference between our effective tax rate and the
U.S. statutory rate was due primarily to our continuing to
maintain a full valuation allowance against our net Federal and
state deferred tax assets. In 2002 we recorded a non-cash charge
of $1.22 billion (as restated) ($6.95 per share (as
restated)) to establish this valuation allowance.
Income tax expense in 2004 includes net favorable tax
adjustments totaling $60.1 million. These adjustments
related primarily to the settlement of prior years tax
liabilities.
In 2002, we determined that earnings of certain international
subsidiaries would no longer be permanently reinvested in
working capital. Accordingly, we recorded a provision of
$50.2 million for the incremental taxes incurred or to be
incurred upon inclusion of such earnings in Federal taxable
income.
The American Job Creation Act of 2004 (the Act) was signed into
law in October 2004 and replaces an export incentive with a
deduction from domestic manufacturing income. As we are both an
exporter and a domestic manufacturer and in a U.S. tax loss
position, this change should have no material impact on our
income tax provision. The Act also provides for a special
one-time tax deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that
are repatriated no later than 2005. We have started an
evaluation of the effects of the repatriation provision. We do
not anticipate that the repatriation of foreign earnings under
the Act would provide an overall tax benefit to us. However, we
do not expect to be able to complete this evaluation until our
2005 tax position has been more precisely determined and the
U.S. Congress or the U.S. Treasury Department provide
additional guidance on certain of the Acts provisions. Any
repatriation of earnings under the Act is not expected to have a
material impact on our results of operations, financial position
or liquidity.
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
33
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 tax benefits
to the extent that it is probable that our positions will be
sustained when challenged by the taxing authorities. As of
December 31, 2004, we had not recognized tax benefits of
approximately $180 million relating to the reorganization
of legal entities in 2001. Pursuant to the reorganization, our
tax payments have been reduced by approximately $67 million
through December 31, 2004. Should the ultimate outcome be
unfavorable, we would be required to make a cash payment for all
tax reductions claimed as of that date.
For further information, refer to the Note to the Financial
Statements No. 14, Income Taxes, included herein.
We recorded net rationalization costs of $55.6 million in
2004, $291.5 million in 2003 and $5.5 million in 2002.
As of December 31, 2004, we had reduced employment levels
by approximately 6,800 from January 1, 2002 and
approximately 18,000 since January 1, 2000, primarily as a
result of rationalization activities.
In 2004, net charges were recorded totaling $55.6 million
($52.0 million after-tax or $0.27 per share). The net
charges included reversals of $39.2 million
($32.2 million after tax or $0.17 per share) related
to reserves from rationalization actions no longer needed for
their originally intended purpose, and new charges of
$94.8 million ($84.2 million after tax or
$0.44 per share). Included in the $94.8 million of new
charges are $77.4 million for plans initiated in 2004.
These plans consisted of warehouse, manufacturing and sales and
marketing associate reductions in Engineered Products, a farm
tire manufacturing consolidation in European Union Tire,
manufacturing, sales, research and development and
administrative associate reductions in North American Tire, and
administrative associate reductions in European Union Tire and
corporate functional groups. Approximately 1,400 associates will
be released under programs initiated in 2004, of which
approximately 1,070 were released to date (430 during
the first nine months of 2005). The costs of the 2004 actions
consisted of $40.1 million related to future cash outflows,
primarily for associate severance costs, $31.9 million in
non-cash pension curtailments and postretirement benefit costs,
and $5.4 million of non-cancelable lease costs and other
exit costs. Costs in 2004 also included $16.3 million
related to plans initiated in 2003, consisting of
$13.7 million for non-cancelable lease costs and other exit
costs and $2.6 million of associate-related costs. The
reversals are primarily the result of lower than initially
estimated associate severance costs of $34.9 million and
lower leasehold and other exit costs of $4.3 million. Of
the $34.9 million of associate severance cost reversals,
$12.0 million related to previously-approved plans in
Engineered Products that were reorganized into the 2004
warehouse, manufacturing, and sales and marketing associate
reductions.
In 2004, $75.0 million was incurred primarily for associate
severance payments, $34.6 million for non-cash pension
curtailments and postretirement benefit costs, and
$22.9 million was incurred for noncancelable lease costs
and other costs. The remaining accrual balance for all programs
was $67.6 million at December 31, 2004, substantially
all of which is expected to be utilized within the next
12 months. In addition, accelerated depreciation charges
totaling $10.4 million were recorded in 2004 for fixed
assets that will be taken out of service in connection with
certain rationalization plans initiated in 2004 and 2003 in
European Union Tire, Latin American Tire and Engineered
Products. During 2004, $7.7 million was recorded as CGS and
$2.7 million was recorded as SAG.
In 2003, net charges were recorded totaling $291.5 million
($267.1 million after tax or $1.52 per share). The net
charges included reversals of $15.7 million
($14.3 million after tax or $0.08 per share) related
to reserves from rationalization actions no longer needed for
their originally intended purpose, and new charges of
$307.2 million ($281.4 million after tax or
$1.60 per share). The 2003 rationalization actions
consisted of manufacturing, research and development,
administrative and retail consolidations in North America, Europe
34
and Latin America. Of the $307.2 million of new charges,
$174.8 million related to future cash outflows, primarily
associate severance costs, and $132.4 million related
primarily to non-cash special termination benefits and pension
and retiree benefit curtailments. Approximately 4,400 associates
will be released under the programs initiated in 2003, of which
approximately 2,700 were exited in 2003 and approximately 1,500
were exited during 2004. The reversals are primarily the result
of lower than initially estimated associate-related payments of
approximately $12 million, favorable sublease contract
signings in the European Union of approximately $3 million
and lower contract termination costs in the United States of
approximately $1 million. These reversals do not represent
changes in the plans as originally approved by management.
As part of the 2003 rationalization program, we closed our
Huntsville, Alabama tire facility in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Of the $307.2 million of new rationalization charges in
2003, approximately $138 million related to the Huntsville
closure and were primarily for associate-related costs,
including severance, special termination benefits and pension
and retiree benefit curtailments. The Huntsville closure also
resulted in charges to CGS of approximately $35 million for
asset impairments and $85 million for accelerated
depreciation and the writeoff of spare parts. In addition, 2003
CGS included charges totaling approximately $8 million to
write-off construction in progress related to the research and
development rationalization plan, and approximately
$5 million for accelerated depreciation on equipment taken
out of service at European Union Tires facility in
Wolverhampton, England.
In 2002, net charges were recorded totaling $5.5 million
($6.4 million after tax or $0.03 per share). The net
charges included reversals of $18.0 million
($14.3 million after tax or $0.09 per share) for
reserves from rationalization actions no longer needed for their
originally intended purpose. In addition, new charges were
recorded totaling $26.5 million ($23.0 million after
tax or $0.14 per share) and other credits were recorded
totaling $3.0 million ($2.3 million after tax or
$0.02 per share). The 2002 rationalization actions
consisted of a manufacturing facility consolidation in Europe,
the closure of a mold manufacturing facility and a plant
consolidation in the United States, and administrative
consolidations. Of the $26.5 million charge,
$24.2 million related to future cash outflows, primarily
associate severance costs, and $2.3 million related to
non-cash write-offs of equipment taken out of service in the
Engineered Products and North American Tire Segments.
Upon completion of the 2004 plans, we estimate that annual
operating costs will be reduced by approximately
$110 million (approximately $50 million SAG and
approximately $60 million CGS) of which $9 million was
realized during 2004. We estimate that SAG and CGS were reduced
in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 by
approximately $25 million as a result of the implementation
of the 2004 and 2005 plans. We estimate that CGS and SAG were
reduced in 2004 by approximately $120 million and
$64 million, respectively, as a result of the
implementation of the 2003 plans. Plan savings have been
substantially offset by higher SAG and conversion costs
including increased compensation and benefit costs.
The remaining reserve for costs related to the completion of our
rationalization actions was $29 million at
September 30, 2005, compared to $68 million at
December 31, 2004 and $143 million at
December 31, 2003. The majority of the accrual balance of
$29 million at September 30, 2005 is expected to be
utilized within the next twelve months.
Union Agreement
Our master contract with the USW committed us to consummate the
issuance or placement of at least $250 million of debt
securities and at least $75 million of equity or
equity-linked securities by December 31, 2003 or the USW
would have the right to file a grievance and strike. On
March 12, 2004, we completed a private offering of
$650 million in senior secured notes due 2011, consisting
of $450 million of 11% senior secured notes and
$200 million of floating rate notes at LIBOR plus 8%. On
July 2, 2004, we completed a private offering of
$350 million in 4% convertible senior notes due 2034
(an equity-linked security). Under the master contract we also
committed to launch, by December 1, 2004, a refinancing of
our U.S. term loan and
35
revolving credit facilities due in April 2005, with loans or
securities having a term of at least three years. We completed
the refinancing of the U.S. term loan in March 2004 and
refinanced the U.S. revolving credit facility in August
2004. In the event of a strike by the USW, our operations and
liquidity could be materially adversely affected.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Significant estimates include:
|
|
|
|
|
|
general and product liability and other litigation |
|
|
|
|
|
environmental liabilities |
|
|
|
|
|
workers compensation |
|
|
|
|
|
recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets |
|
|
|
|
|
deferred tax asset valuation allowance |
|
|
|
|
|
pension and other postretirement benefits |
|
|
|
|
|
allowance for doubtful accounts |
|
On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates, based on
currently available information. Changes in facts and
circumstances may alter such estimates and affect results of
operations and financial position in future periods.
General and Product Liability and Other Litigation.
General and product liability and other recorded litigation
liabilities are recorded based on managements analysis
that a loss arising from these matters is probable. If the loss
can be reasonably estimated, we record the amount of the
estimated loss. If the loss is estimated using a range and no
point within the range is more probable than another, we record
the minimum amount in the range. As additional information
becomes available, any potential liability related to these
matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary.
Loss ranges are based upon the specific facts of each claim or
class of claim and were determined after review by our in-house
counsel, external counsel or a combination thereof. Court
rulings on our cases or similar cases could impact our
assessment of the probability and estimate of our loss, which
could have an impact on our reported results of operations,
financial position and liquidity. We record insurance recovery
receivables related to our litigation claims when it is probable
we will receive reimbursement from the insurer. Specifically, we
are a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging various
asbestos-related personal injuries purported to result from
alleged exposure to asbestos 1) in certain rubber
encapsulated products or aircraft braking systems manufactured
by us in the past, or 2) in certain of our facilities.
Typically, these lawsuits have been brought against multiple
defendants in state and Federal courts.
Due to the potential exposure that the asbestos claims
represent, we began using an independent asbestos valuation firm
in connection with the preparation of our 2003 financial
statements. The firm was engaged to review our existing reserves
for pending claims, determine whether or not we could make a
reasonable estimate of the liability associated with unasserted
asbestos claims, and review our method of determining our
receivables from probable insurance recoveries.
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2003, our estimate for asbestos
liability was based upon a review of the various characteristics
of the pending claims by an experienced asbestos counsel. In
addition, at that time we did not have an accrual for unasserted
claims, as sufficient information was deemed to be not available
to reliably estimate such an obligation prior to the fourth
quarter of 2003.
After reviewing our recent settlement history by jurisdiction,
law firm, disease type and alleged date of first exposure, the
valuation firm cited two primary reasons for us to refine our
valuation assumptions. First, in
36
calculating our estimated liability, the valuation firm
determined that we had previously assumed that we would resolve
more claims in the foreseeable future than is likely based on
our historical record and nationwide trends. As a result, we now
assume that a smaller percentage of pending claims will be
resolved within the predictable future. Second, the valuation
firm determined that it was not possible to estimate a liability
for as many non-malignancy claims as we had done in the past. As
a result, our current estimated liability includes fewer
liabilities associated with non-malignancy claims than were
included prior to December 2003.
A significant assumption in our estimated liability is that it
represents our estimated liability through 2008, which
represents the period over which the liability can be reasonably
estimated. Due to the difficulties in making these estimates,
analysis based on new data and/or changed circumstances arising
in the future could result in an increase in the recorded
obligation in an amount that cannot be reasonably estimated, and
that increase could be significant. We had recorded liabilities
for both asserted and unasserted claims, inclusive of defense
costs, totaling $119.3 million at December 31, 2004
and $134.7 million (as restated) at December 31, 2003.
The portion of the liability associated with unasserted asbestos
claims was $37.9 million at December 31, 2004 and
$54.4 million (as restated) at December 31, 2003. At
December 31, 2004, our liability with respect to asserted
claims and related defense costs was $81.4 million,
compared to $80.3 million (as restated) at
December 31, 2003.
We maintain primary insurance coverage under coverage-in-place
agreements as well as excess liability insurance with respect to
asbestos liabilities. We record a receivable with respect to
such policies when we determine that recovery is probable and we
can reasonably estimate the amount of a particular recovery.
Prior to 2003, we did not record a receivable for expected
recoveries from excess carriers in respect of asbestos-related
matters. We have instituted coverage actions against certain of
these excess carriers. After consultation with our outside legal
counsel and giving consideration to relevant factors, including
the ongoing legal proceedings with certain of our excess
coverage insurance carriers, their financial viability, their
legal obligations and other pertinent facts, we determined an
amount we expect is probable of recovery from such carriers.
Accordingly, we recorded a receivable during 2003, which
represents an estimate of recovery from our excess coverage
insurance carriers relating to potential asbestos-related
liabilities.
The valuation firm also reviewed our method of valuing
receivables recorded for probable insurance recoveries. Based
upon the model employed by the valuation firm, as of
December 31, 2004, (i) we had recorded a receivable
related to asbestos claims of $107.8 million, compared to
$121.3 million (as restated) at December 31, 2003, and
(ii) we expect that approximately 90% of asbestos claim
related losses would be recoverable up to our accessible policy
limits through the period covered by the estimated liability.
The receivable recorded 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. Of this
amount, $9.4 million and $11.8 million (as restated)
was included in Current assets as part of Accounts and notes
receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
In addition to our asbestos claims, we are a defendant in
various lawsuits related to our Entran II rubber hose
product. During 2004, we entered into a settlement agreement to
address a substantial portion of our Entran II liabilities.
The claims associated with the plaintiffs that opted not to
participate in the settlement will be evaluated in a manner
consistent with our other litigation claims. We had recorded
liabilities related to Entran II claims totaling
$307.2 million at December 31, 2004 and
$246.1 million at December 31, 2003.
Environmental Matters. We had recorded liabilities
totaling $39.5 million at December 31, 2004 and
$32.6 million (as restated) at December 31, 2003 for
anticipated costs related to various environmental matters,
primarily the remediation of numerous waste disposal sites and
certain properties sold by us. Our environmental liabilities are
based upon our best estimate of the cost to remediate the
identified locations. Our process for estimating the costs
entails management selecting the best remediation alternative
based upon either an internal analysis or third party studies
and proposals. Our estimates are based upon the current law and
approved remediation technology. The actual cost that will be
incurred may differ from these estimates based upon changes in
environmental laws and standards, approval of new environmental
remediation technology, and the extent to which other
responsible parties ultimately contribute to the remediation
efforts.
37
Workers Compensation. We had recorded liabilities,
on a discounted basis, totaling $230.7 million and
$195.7 million (as restated) for anticipated costs related
to workers compensation at December 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, 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
update our loss development factors based on actuarial analyses.
The increase in the liability from 2003 to 2004 was due
primarily to an increase in reserves for existing claims,
reflecting revised estimates of our ultimate liability in these
cases, and updated actuarial assumptions related to unasserted
claims. At December 31, 2004, the liability was discounted
using the risk-free rate of return.
For further information on general and product liability and
other litigation, environmental matters and workers
compensation, refer to the Note to the Financial Statements
No. 20, Commitments and Contingencies, included herein, and
Note 7 to the unaudited Interim Financial Statements,
included herein.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Generally accepted
accounting principles do not permit goodwill or other intangible
assets with indefinite lives to be amortized. Rather, these
assets must be tested annually for potential indicator of
impairment.
For purposes of our annual impairment testing, we determine the
estimated fair values of our reporting units using a valuation
methodology based upon an EBITDA multiple using comparable
companies in the global automotive industry sector and a
discounted cash flow approach. The EBITDA multiple is adjusted
if necessary to reflect local market conditions and recent
transactions. The EBITDA of the reporting units are adjusted to
exclude certain non-recurring or unusual items and corporate
charges. EBITDA is based upon a combination of historical and
forecasted results. Significant decreases in EBITDA in future
periods could be an indication of a potential impairment.
Additionally, valuation multiples in the global automotive
industry sector would have to decline in excess of 25% to
indicate a potential goodwill impairment.
Goodwill totaled $720.3 million and other intangible assets
totaled $162.6 million at December 31, 2004. We
completed our 2004 annual valuation during the third quarter of
2004. The valuation indicated that there was no impairment of
goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite lives.
Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance. At
December 31, 2004, we had valuation allowances aggregating
$2.1 billion against all of our net Federal and state and
some of our foreign net deferred tax assets.
The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 109 which requires an assessment of both
negative and positive evidence when measuring the need for a
valuation allowance. In accordance with SFAS 109, evidence,
such as operating results during the most recent three-year
period, is given more weight than our expectations of future
profitability, which are inherently uncertain. Our
U.S. losses in recent periods represented sufficient
negative evidence to require a full valuation allowance against
our net Federal and state deferred tax assets under
SFAS 109. We intend to maintain a valuation allowance
against our net deferred tax assets until sufficient positive
evidence exists to support realization of such assets.
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. Our recorded
liability for pensions and postretirement benefits other than
pensions is based on a number of assumptions, including:
|
|
|
|
|
|
future health care costs, |
|
|
|
|
|
maximum company-covered benefit costs, |
|
|
|
|
|
life expectancies, |
|
|
|
|
|
retirement rates, |
|
|
|
|
|
discount rates, |
|
|
|
|
|
long term rates of return on plan assets, and |
|
|
|
|
|
future compensation levels. |
|
38
Certain of these assumptions are determined with the assistance
of outside actuaries. Assumptions about future health care
costs, life expectancies, retirement rates and future
compensation levels are based on past experience and anticipated
future trends, including an assumption about inflation. The
discount rate for our U.S. plans is derived from a
portfolio of corporate bonds from issuers rated AA- or higher by
S&P. The total cash flows provided by the portfolio are
similar to the timing of our expected benefit payment cash
flows. The long term rate of return on plan assets is based on
the compound annualized return of our U.S. pension fund
over periods of 15 years or more, asset class return
expectations and long-term inflation. These assumptions are
regularly reviewed and revised when appropriate, and changes in
one or more of them could affect the amount of our recorded net
expenses for these benefits. If the actual experience differs
from expectations, our financial position, results of operations
and liquidity in future periods could be affected.
The discount rate used in determining the recorded liability for
our U.S. pension and postretirement plans was 5.75% for
2004, compared to 6.25% for 2003 and 6.75% for 2002. The
decrease in the rate was due primarily to lower interest rates
on long-term highly rated corporate bonds. As a result, interest
cost included in our net periodic pension cost increased to
$421.0 million in 2004, compared to $399.8 million in
2003 and $385.0 million in 2002. Interest cost included in
our net periodic postretirement cost was $188.1 million in
2004, compared to $174.0 million in 2003 and
$186.9 million in 2002. Actual return on plan assets was
12.1% in 2004, compared to expected returns of 8.5%.
The following table presents the sensitivity of our projected
pension benefit obligation, accumulated other postretirement
obligation, shareholders equity, and 2005 expense to the
indicated increase/decrease in key assumptions:

For further information on pensions, refer to the Note to the
Financial Statements No. 13, Pensions, Other Postretirement
Benefits and Savings Plans, included herein, and Note 6 to
the unaudited Interim Financial Statements, included herein.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The allowance for
doubtful accounts represents an estimate of the losses expected
from our accounts and notes receivable portfolio. The level of
the allowance is based on many quantitative and qualitative
factors, including historical loss experience by region,
portfolio duration, economic conditions and credit risk quality.
The adequacy of the allowance is assessed quarterly.
Different assumptions or changes in economic conditions would
result in changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The
allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $144.4 million and
$128.9 million (as restated) at December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively.
Segment Information
Segment information reflects our strategic business units
(SBUs), which are organized to meet customer requirements and
global competition. The Tire businesses are segmented on a
regional basis. Engineered Products is managed on a global basis.
39
Effective January 1, 2005, Chemical Products was integrated
into North American Tire. Intercompany sales from Chemical
Products to other segments are no longer reflected in our
segment sales. In addition, segment operating income from
intercompany sales from Chemical Products to other segments is
no longer reflected in our total segment operating income.
Results of operations are measured based on net sales to
unaffiliated customers and segment operating income. Segment
operating income is computed as follows: Net Sales less CGS
(excluding certain accelerated depreciation charges, asset
impairment charges and asset write-offs) and SAG (including
certain allocated corporate administrative expenses).
Total segment operating income was $330 million in the
third quarter of 2005, increasing $58 million from
$272 million in the third quarter of 2004. Total segment
operating margin (total segment operating income divided by
segment sales) in the third quarter of 2005 was 6.6% compared to
5.8% in the third quarter of 2004.
In the first nine months of 2005, total segment operating income
was $938 million, increasing $231 million, or 33% from
$707 million in the 2004 period. Total segment operating
margin in the first nine months of 2005 was 6.3% compared to
5.2% in the 2004 comparable period.
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 as determined in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
Refer to the Note to the Financial Statements No. 18,
Business Segments, included herein, and Note 8 to
the Unaudited Interim Financial Statements included herein, for
further information and for a reconciliation of total segment
operating income to Income before Income Taxes.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 |
North American Tire unit sales in the 2005 third quarter
remained flat from the prior year comparable quarter as the
increase in consumer OE units of 0.1 or 1.9% was offset by a
0.1 unit or 15.5% decrease in the commercial OE market.
Net sales increased 5.0% in the third quarter of 2005 from the
comparable 2004 period due primarily to favorable price and
product mix of approximately $98 million, driven by price
increases to offset higher raw material costs and improved mix
resulting from our strategy to focus on the higher value
replacement market and being more selective in the OE market.
Also positively impacting sales in the period were translation
of approximately $7 million and approximately
$7 million from growth in other tire related businesses.
Operating income increased $31 million, or 114.8% in the
third quarter of 2005 from the comparable 2004 period. The
improvement was driven by our tire business improved price
and product mix of approximately $83 million and lower
conversion costs of approximately $13 million, due in part
to lower OPEB costs. We also had an $11 million improvement
in the operating income of our other tire related businesses.
Overall, favorable SAG costs of $6 million primarily
resulted from lower general and product liability claim costs.
These favorable effects were partially offset by increased raw
material costs of approximately $80 million in our tire
business. Included in the 2005 results discussed above are
$10 million of costs associated with the hurricanes.
40
Operating income for the third quarter 2005 and 2004 did not
include rationalization net charges of $3 million and
$4 million, respectively. Operating income also did not
include third quarter 2005 net gains on asset sales of
$28 million.
|
|
|
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 |
Unit sales in the first nine months of 2005 increased
0.1 million units or 0.2% from the 2004 period. Replacement
unit volume increased 1.4 million units or 2.6%, while OE
volume decreased 1.2 million units or 4.9%.
Net sales increased 6.9% in the first nine months of 2005 from
the 2004 period due primarily to favorable price and product mix
of approximately $256 million due to price increases to
offset rising raw material costs and improved mix from our
strategy to focus on the higher value consumer replacement
market and being more selective in the consumer OE market and
improved volume of $16 million. Also positively impacting
sales for the period was growth in other tire related businesses
including the T&WA business of approximately
$139 million and translation of $27 million.
Operating income increased $80 million, or 181.8% in the
first nine months of 2005 from the 2004 period. The improvement
was driven by improved price and product mix of approximately
$188 million, lower conversion costs of approximately
$73 million, primarily related to the implementation of
cost reduction initiatives resulting in productivity
improvements, lower OPEB costs and rationalization activities,
including the closure of the Huntsville plant, related to our
tire business and by an approximate $42 million improvement
in the earnings of our retail, external chemicals and other tire
related businesses. The 2005 period was unfavorably impacted by
increased raw material costs of approximately $210 million
in our tire business and an increase in segment SAG costs of
approximately $12 million, primarily related to higher
compensation costs. Included in the 2005 results discussed above
are $10 million of costs associated with the hurricanes.
Operating income in the first nine months of 2005 did not
include rationalization net reversals of $6 million and a
net gain on asset sales of $36 million. Operating income in
the first nine months of 2004 did not include rationalization
net charges totaling $10 million and a gain on asset sales
of $2 million.
During the third quarter, in order to better reflect the actual
operating performance of the businesses within our North
American Tire Segment, we began to include raw material and
manufacturing conversion variances directly related to our other
tire businesses in their results for management reporting
purposes. The change, which was applied to all periods
presented, resulted in approximately $21 million of
unfavorable variances previously included within tire business
results being reclassified to other tire related business for
the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The overall
segment operating income was not effected by this change.

|
|
Fiscal Years Ended 2004, 2003 and 2002 |
North American Tire unit sales in 2004 increased
1.3 million units or 1.3% from 2003 but decreased
1.3 million units or 1.3% from 2002. Replacement unit sales
in 2004 increased 2.2 million units or 3.2% from 2003 and
1.1 million units or 1.6% from 2002. Original equipment
volume in 2004 decreased 0.9 million units or 2.6% from
2003 and 2.4 million units or 7.1% from 2002. Replacement
unit volume in 2004 increased from 2003 due primarily to higher
sales of Goodyear brand tires. OE unit sales in 2004 decreased
from 2003 due primarily to a slowdown in the automotive industry
that resulted in lower levels of vehicle production and our
selective fitment strategy in the consumer original equipment
business.
Net sales in 2004 increased 17.7% from 2003 and 20.8% from 2002.
Net sales in 2004 increased $523.8 million from 2003 due to
the consolidation of T&WA in January 2004 in accordance with
FIN 46. Sales were also favorably affected by approximately
$312 million resulting from favorable pricing and product
mix, due primarily to strong sales of Goodyear brand consumer
tires and commercial tires. In addition, net sales benefited by
approximately $271 million due to increased volume, mainly
in the commercial OE and consumer replacement and retail
markets. External chemical sales increased approximately
$189 million primarily from increased pricing and improved
volume.
41
Net sales in 2003 increased 2.6% from 2002. Net sales increased
in 2003 due to improved pricing and product mix of approximately
$118 million, primarily in the consumer replacement and
original equipment markets, and lower product related
adjustments of approximately $10 million. The production
slowdown by automakers and a decrease in the consumer
replacement custom brand channel contributed to lower volume of
approximately $86 million in 2003. External chemical sales
increased approximately $130 million primarily from
increased pricing and improved volume in both natural and
synthetic rubber.
During 2002, we supplied approximately 500 thousand tire units
with an operating income benefit of approximately
$10 million in connection with the Ford tire replacement
program. Ford ended the replacement program on March 31,
2002.
Operating income in 2004 increased significantly from 2003 and
2002. Operating income in 2004 rose from 2003 (as restated) due
primarily to improvements in pricing and product mix of
approximately $201 million, primarily in the consumer and
commercial replacement markets. In addition, operating income
benefited by approximately $65 million from increased
volume, primarily in the consumer replacement, commercial OE and
retail markets. Operating income was favorably affected by
savings from rationalization programs totaling approximately
$78 million. Operating income in 2004 was unfavorably
impacted by increased raw material costs of approximately
$99 million and higher transportation costs of
$32 million. SAG in 2004 was approximately $58 million
higher than in 2003, due in part to increased advertising costs
of approximately $25 million and increased compensation and
benefits costs of approximately $12 million. External
chemical operating income improved approximately
$14 million due to improved pricing and product mix and
higher volume.
Operating income in 2003 (as restated) decreased significantly
from 2002 (as restated). Higher raw materials costs of
approximately $151 million, higher manufacturing conversion
costs of approximately $86 million, primarily related to
contractual increases, and lower consumer volume of
approximately $12 million adversely impacted 2003 operating
income. Operating income benefited by approximately
$66 million from savings related to rationalization
programs and by approximately $37 million due to lower
research and development expenditures. Operating income in 2003
(as restated) included a benefit of approximately
$51 million from the previously mentioned change in the
domestic salaried associates vacation policy, and
$20 million of insurance recoveries related to general and
product liabilities. External chemical operating income
deteriorated by approximately $8 million due to increased
raw material and conversion costs.
Operating income did not include net rationalization charges
(credits) totaling $8.4 million in 2004,
$191.9 million in 2003 and $(1.9) million in 2002. In
addition, operating income did not include losses on asset sales
of $13.2 million in 2004 and $3.8 million in 2003, and
the write-off of a miscellaneous investment totaling
$4.1 million in 2002.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 |
European Union Tire segment unit sales in the 2005 third quarter
increased 0.4 million units or 2.5% from the 2004 period.
Replacement unit sales increased 0.4 million units or 3.9%
while OE volume was essentially flat compared to the third
quarter of 2004.
Net sales in the third quarter of 2005 increased 4.2% compared
to the third quarter of 2004 primarily due to price and product
mix of approximately $51 million driven by price increases
to offset higher raw material
42
costs and a favorable mix toward the consumer replacement and
commercial markets. Also contributing to the sales increase was
a volume increase of approximately $24 million, largely due
to increases in the consumer replacement market. This
improvement was partially offset by the lower sales in other
tire related business of $16 million and unfavorable
currency translation totaling approximately $11 million.
For the third quarter of 2005, operating income increased
$12 million, or 17.6% compared to 2004 due to improvements
in price and product mix of approximately $40 million
driven by price increases to offset higher raw material costs
and a continued shift towards higher value high performance,
ultra-high performance and commercial tires. Operating income
was adversely affected by higher raw material costs of
approximately $13 million, higher SAG expense of
approximately $10 million primarily related to higher
selling and advertising expenses, and $6 million in higher
other tire related business expenses.
Operating income for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004 did not
include rationalization net charges totaling $3 million and
$1 million, respectively. In 2004, operating income did not
include a $1 million gain on the sale of assets.
|

0.6 million units or 1.3% from the 2004 period. Replacement
volume increased 0.9 million units or 2.5% while OE volume
decreased 0.3 million units or 1.8%.
Net sales in the first nine months of 2005 increased
$251 million, or 7.7% compared to the first nine months of
2004 primarily due to price and product mix improvements of
approximately $168 million driven by price increases to
offset higher raw material costs and a favorable mix toward the
consumer replacement and commercial markets and the favorable
effect of currency translation totaling approximately
$76 million. Volume increases in the first nine months
impacted sales by approximately $37 million largely due to
increases in the consumer replacement and OE commercial market.
For the first nine months of 2005, operating income increased by
$77 million, or 39.5% compared to 2004 due primarily to
improvements in price and product mix of approximately
$117 million and increased volume of $9 million
largely due to increases in the consumer replacement and
commercial OE markets. Operating income was adversely affected
by higher raw material costs of approximately $40 million
in the first nine months of 2005 compared to 2004 and higher SAG
expense of $11 million, due primarily to increased
advertising costs.
Operating income in the first nine months of 2005 did not
include rationalization net charges of $1 million and a
gain on asset sales of $4 million. Operating income in the
first nine months of 2004 did not include rationalization net
charges totaling $26 million and a gain on asset sales of
$3 million.

Fiscal Years 2004, 2003 and 2002 |
European Union Tire unit sales in 2004 increased
0.5 million units or 0.8% from 2003 and 1.3 million
units or 2.0% from 2002. Replacement unit sales in 2004
approximated 2003 levels but increased 2.6 million units or
6.4% from 2002. Original equipment volume in 2004 increased
0.5 million units or 2.4% from 2003 but decreased
1.3 million units or 7.0% from 2002. Replacement unit sales
in 2004 were flat, reflecting product shortages, especially in
the first half of 2004. OE unit sales in 2004 increased from
2003 due primarily to increased sales of consumer tires and
improved conditions in the commercial market.
Net sales in 2004 increased 14.1% from 2003 and 34.8% from 2002.
Net sales in 2004 increased from 2003 due primarily to a benefit
of approximately $382 million from currency translation,
mainly from the Euro. Net sales rose by approximately
$130 million due to improved pricing and product mix, due
primarily to price increases and a shift in mix towards higher
priced premium brands. Additionally, higher OE volume increased
2004 net sales by approximately $41 million.
Net sales in 2003 (as restated) increased 18.1% from 2002. Net
sales increased in 2003 compared to 2002 due primarily to a
benefit of approximately $587 million from currency
translation, mainly from the Euro. In addition, net sales rose
by approximately $42 million due to higher volume in the
consumer replacement
43
market. Negative pricing and product mix in retail operations
adversely impacted net sales in 2003 by approximately
$30 million.
Operating income in 2004 increased 94.7% from 2003 and 150.0%
from 2002. Operating income in 2004 rose from 2003 due primarily
to improvements in pricing and product mix of approximately
$135 million. In addition, higher sales volume benefited
operating income by approximately $9 million. In addition,
to higher production and productivity improvements increased
2004 operating income by approximately $4 million. Savings
from rationalization actions benefited operating income by
approximately $47 million. Operating income rose by
approximately $13 million from currency translation.
Operating income was adversely impacted by higher raw material
costs totaling approximately $42 million. SAG rose by
approximately $39 million, due primarily to higher selling
and advertising expenses related to premium brand tires.
Operating income in 2003 (as restated) increased 28.4% from
2002. Operating income in 2003 increased due primarily to
savings from rationalization programs of approximately
$57 million, and the benefit of higher production tonnage
and increased productivity totaling approximately
$17 million. Operating income rose by approximately
$26 million due to the favorable impact of currency
translation and by approximately $10 million from improved
volume, particularly in the replacement market. Improved pricing
and product mix, mainly in the consumer replacement and original
equipment markets, benefited operating income in 2003 by
approximately $5 million. Operating income was adversely
impacted by higher raw material costs of approximately
$50 million, higher pension costs of approximately
$18 million and higher SAG costs due to increased
advertising of approximately $14 million. In addition,
operating income in 2003 included a charge of approximately
$13 million for an unfavorable court settlement.
Operating income did not include net rationalization charges
(credits) totaling $23.1 million in 2004,
$54.3 million in 2003 and $(0.4) million in 2002. In
addition, operating income did not include (gains) losses
on asset sales of $(6.2) million in 2004, $1.5 million
(as restated) in 2003 and $(13.7) million (as restated) in
2002.
European Union Tires results are highly dependent upon the
German market, which accounted for 37% of European Union
Tires net sales in 2004. Accordingly, results of
operations in Germany will have a significant impact on European
Union Tires future performance and could also have an
impact on our other segments.

Operating income for 2005 was favorably impacted by positive
foreign currency translation of approximately $22 million,
improved volume of approximately $11 million and price and
product mix of approximately $40 million, due primarily to
price increases across the region and growth in premium brands.
Negatively impacting the 2005 period were higher raw material
costs of approximately $24 million and lower inter-segment
sales volumes, which reduced operating income by approximately
$25 million. Also negatively impacting the period were

of approximately $37 million, favorable price and product
mix of approximately $14 million and increased volume of
approximately $7 million.
Operating income in the third quarter 2005 increased
$13 million, or 20.3% from the comparable period in 2004.
Operating income was favorably impacted by approximately
$19 million related to improved pricing and product mix, as
well as approximately $2 million due to increased volumes
and approximately $24 million from the favorable impact of
currency translation. Increased raw material costs of
approximately $29 million and higher conversion costs of
approximately $6 million, due primarily to higher
compensation costs, negatively impacted operating income
compared to the 2004 period.
|

For the first nine months of 2005 net sales increased
$191 million, or 21.0% from the comparable 2004 period. Net
sales increased in 2005 due to improvements in price and product
mix of approximately $58 million, volume of approximately
$49 million and the favorable impact of currency
translation, mainly in Brazil, of approximately $89 million.
Operating income in the first nine months of 2005 increased
$54 million, or 28.9% from the comparable period in 2004.
Operating income was favorably impacted by approximately
$79 million related to improved pricing and product mix and
the favorable impact of currency translation of approximately
$50 million. Increased raw material costs of approximately
$65 million and higher conversion costs of approximately
$12 million, primarily due to higher compensation costs,
negatively impacted operating income compared to the 2004 period.
46
Operating income in the first nine months of 2004 did not
include rationalization net charges of $2 million.
Given Latin American Tires continued contribution to our
operating income, significant fluctuations in their sales,
operating income and operating margins, may have a
disproportionate impact on our consolidated results of
operations.

include rationalization net reversals of $2 million.

Fiscal Years 2004, 2003 and 2002 |
Asia/ Pacific Tire unit sales in 2004 increased 6.1 million
units or 45.5% from 2003 and 6.5 million units or 52.4%
from 2002. Replacement unit sales in 2004 increased
5.4 million units or 60.0% from 2003 and 5.4 million
units or 58.4% from 2002. Original equipment volume in 2004
increased 0.7 million units or 15.6% from 2003 and
1.1 million units or 37.4% from 2002. Unit sales in 2004
increased by 5.5 million replacement units and
0.8 million OE units due to the consolidation of South
Pacific Tyres, as discussed below. Excluding the impact of SPT,
replacement unit volume increased slightly, and OE volume
decreased due primarily to lower consumer volume.
Effective January 1, 2004, Asia/ Pacific Tire includes the
operations of South Pacific Tyres, an Australian Partnership,
and South Pacific Tyres N.Z. Limited, a New Zealand company
(together, SPT), joint ventures 50% owned by
Goodyear and 50% owned by Ansell Ltd. SPT is the largest tire
manufacturer in Australia and New Zealand, with two tire
manufacturing plants and 14 retread plants. SPT sells Goodyear-
brand, Dunlop-brand and other house and private brand tires
through its chain of 417 retail stores, commercial tire centers
and independent dealers.
Net sales in 2004 increased 125.5% from 2003 and 146.9% from
2002. Net sales in 2004 increased from 2003 due primarily to the
consolidation of SPT, which benefited 2004 sales by
$707.4 million. Net sales also rose by approximately
$32 million due to improved pricing and product mix, but
were adversely impacted by lower volume excluding SPT of
$18 million.
48
Net sales in 2003 increased 9.5% from 2002. Net sales increased
in 2003 due primarily to a benefit of approximately
$29 million from increased volume, largely a result of
strong original equipment demand. Net sales also increased by
approximately $16 million due to currency translation,
primarily in India and Australia.
Operating income in 2004 increased 22.4% from 2003 and 39.8%
from 2002. Operating income in 2004 increased from 2003 due
primarily to a benefit of approximately $25 million from
price increases and improved product mix, and a reduction in
conversion costs of approximately $4 million. Operating
income was adversely impacted by higher raw material costs
totaling approximately $22 million and approximately
$3 million from lower volume. In addition, SAG expenses
rose by approximately $6 million. The consolidation of SPT
increased Asia/ Pacific Tire operating income by approximately
$11.7 million in 2004; however, it reduced operating margin
to 4.7% in 2004 from 8.6% in 2003.
Operating income in 2003 (as restated) increased 14.2% from
2002. Operating income in 2003 increased due primarily to a
benefit of approximately $14 million from improved consumer
and farm product mix and higher selling prices in both
replacement and original equipment markets. In addition,
operating income increased by approximately $8 million due
to currency translation and approximately $7 million due to
increased volume in the original equipment market. Operating
income was favorably affected in 2003 by approximately
$3 million due to increased sales of miscellaneous products
and improved equity income. Operating income was adversely
impacted by higher raw material costs of approximately
$27 million.
Operating income did not include net rationalization charges
(credits) totaling $(1.7) million in 2002. In
addition, operating income did not include (gains) losses
on asset sales of $(2.1) million in 2003.
Prior to 2004, results of operations of SPT were not included in
Asia/ Pacific Tire, and were included in the Consolidated
Statement of Operations using the equity method.
SPT operating income in 2003 increased substantially from 2002
due primarily to the benefits of the rationalization programs in
the prior years. SPT operating income did not include net
rationalization charges (credits) totaling
$8.7 million in 2003 and $3.2 million in 2002. SPT
debt totaled $255.2 million at December 31, 2003 of
which $72.0 million was payable to Goodyear.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 |
Engineered Products sales increased $28 million, or 7.4% in
the third quarter of 2005 from 2004 levels due to improved price
and product mix of approximately $19 million and the
favorable effect of currency translation of approximately
$11 million.
Operating income decreased $7 million, or 20.6% in the
third quarter of 2005 compared to the 2004 period due primarily
to increased conversion costs of approximately $10 million,
higher raw material costs of approximately $7 million, and
higher SAG expense of approximately $3 million primarily
due to higher bad debt expenses. Also negatively impacting
earnings in the period were higher freight costs of
$3 million. Operating income was favorably impacted by
improved volume of approximately $3 million and improved
price and product mix of approximately $15 million.
Operating income did not include $3 million and
$23 million of rationalization net charges for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
49
|
|
|
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 |
Sales increased $145 million, or 13.3% in the first nine
months of 2005 from 2004 due to improved volume of approximately
$83 million, mainly in the industrial and military
channels, improved price and product mix of approximately
$33 million and the favorable effect of currency
translation of approximately $30 million.
Operating income decreased $11 million, or 12.4% in the
first nine months of 2005 compared to the 2004 period due
primarily to increased conversion costs of approximately
$22 million, higher raw material costs of approximately
$21 million and higher SAG expense of approximately
$13 million primarily due to higher compensation,
consulting and bad debt expenses. Higher product liability
expenses and freight costs aggregating $8 million also
contributed to the decrease in operating income. Operating
income was favorably impacted by improved volume of
approximately $35 million and price and product mix of
$16 million.
Operating income did not include rationalization net charges of
$3 million and $23 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Operating income
for the first nine months of 2004 did not include a gain on the
sale of assets of $1 million.
On September 20, 2005 we announced that we are exploring
the possible sale of our Engineered Products business.
|
|
|
Fiscal Years 2004, 2003 and 2002 |
Engineered Products sales in 2004 increased 22.1% from 2003 and
30.5% from 2002. Net sales in 2004 increased from 2003 due
primarily to a benefit of approximately $194 million
resulting from increased volume and approximately
$37 million from improved pricing and product mix, each
largely as a result of strong sales to military and OE
industrial and heavy duty customers. Net sales also rose by
approximately $35 million from currency translation. We
expect military sales to remain strong in 2005, but anticipate a
reduction in such sales in 2006.
Net sales in 2003 increased 6.8% from 2002. Net sales increased
in 2003 due primarily to a benefit of approximately
$39 million from currency translation. Net sales rose by
approximately $30 million on increased military sales and
approximately $8 million on improved pricing and mix.
Operating income in 2004 increased 141.9% from 2003 and 190.3%
from 2002. Operating income in 2004 increased from 2003 due
primarily to a benefit of approximately $75 million from
increased volume, largely in military and industrial products.
Operating income also reflected savings from rationalization
programs of approximately $24 million. SAG was
approximately $18 million higher and conversion costs rose
approximately $10 million. Operating income in 2003 (as
restated) was adversely impacted by charges totaling
approximately $19 million related to account reconciliation
adjustments in the restatement reported in our 2003
Form 10-K.
Operating income in 2003 (as restated) increased 20.0% from
2002. Operating income in 2003 increased due primarily to
benefits of approximately $8 million from increased
military sales, lower raw material costs of approximately
$5 million, and currency translation of approximately
$5 million. The previously mentioned change in the domestic
salaried vacation policy also favorably affected 2003 operating
income by approximately $8 million. Operating income in
2003 was adversely impacted by unfavorable price/mix of
approximately $11 million due to increased sales of
original equipment and heavy duty product, and higher SAG costs
(excluding the impact of the vacation policy change) of
approximately $9 million, primarily related to increased
sales efforts. As previously mentioned, operating income in 2003
included charges totaling approximately $19 million related
to account reconciliation adjustments in previously-mentioned
restatement reported in our 2003 Form 10-K.
Operating income did not include net rationalization charges
totaling $22.8 million in 2004, $29.4 million in 2003
and $4.6 million in 2002. In addition, operating income did
not include (gains) losses on asset sales of
$(2.5) million in 2004, $6.3 million in 2003 and
$(0.6) million in 2002.
50
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2005, we had $1,662 million in cash
and cash equivalents as well as $1,672 million of unused
availability under our various credit agreements, compared to
$1,968 million and $1,116 million, respectively, at
December 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents do not include
restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of Goodyear
contributions made related to the settlement of the
Entran II litigation and proceeds received pursuant to
insurance settlements. In addition, we will, from time to time,
maintain balances on deposit at various financial institutions
as collateral for borrowings incurred by various subsidiaries,
as well as cash deposited in support of trade agreements and
performance bonds. At September 30, 2005, cash balances
totaling $215 million were subject to such restrictions,
compared to $152 million at December 31, 2004. The
increase was primarily due to a receipt of insurance settlements
subject to restrictions, received in the second quarter of 2005.
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $189 million
in the first nine months of 2005, an improvement of
$171 million from the comparable prior year period. The
improvement was primarily driven by net income of
$279 million during the first nine months of 2005 compared
to a net loss of $10 million in the first nine months of
2004, and a favorable net working capital change, partially
offset by higher pension contributions of $213 million.
Cash flow used in investing activities of $224 million
decreased by $66 million from the comparable period,
primarily due to the receipt of higher sales proceeds from asset
sales of $132 million in the first nine months of 2005. The
higher sales proceeds primarily related to the sale of Wingtack
and our natural rubber plantations. These proceeds were offset
by higher capital expenditures of $92 million. 2005 capital
expenditures of $370 million primarily represents spending
for plant upgrades and expansions and new tire molds. We expect
full year 2005 capital expenditures to be approximately
$650 million.
Cash flows used in financing activities during the first nine
months of 2005, was approximately $225 million compared to
$349 million of cash generated in the comparable period of
2004. The change primarily reflects the repayment of net debt of
$97 million in 2005 compared to $485 million of net
debt issued in 2004.
In aggregate, we had committed and uncommitted credit facilities
of $7,544 million available at September 30, 2005, of
which $1,672 million were unused, compared to
$7,295 million available at December 31, 2004, of
which $1,116 million were unused.
$400 Million Senior Notes Offering and Repayment of
63/8%
Euro Notes due 2005
On June 23, 2005, we completed an offering of
$400 million aggregate principal amount of
9.00% Senior Notes due 2015 in a transaction under
Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of
1933. The senior notes are guaranteed by our U.S. and Canadian
subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under our
senior secured credit facilities. The guarantee is unsecured.
The proceeds were used to repay $200 million in borrowings
under our U.S. first lien revolving credit facility, and to
replace $190 million of the cash, that we used to pay the
$516 million principal amount of our
63/8%
Euro Notes due 2005 at maturity on June 6, 2005. In
conjunction with the debt issuance, we paid fees of
approximately $10 million, which will be amortized over the
term of the notes.
The Indenture governing the senior notes limits 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
51
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 the senior notes
are assigned an investment grade rating by Moodys and
S&P and no default has occurred or is continuing, certain
covenants will be suspended.
April 8, 2005 Refinancing
As previously reported, on April 8, 2005 we completed a
refinancing in which we replaced approximately
$3.28 billion of credit facilities with new facilities
aggregating $3.65 billion. The new facilities consist of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
a $1.5 billion first lien credit facility due
April 30, 2010 (consisting of a $1.0 billion revolving
facility and a $500 million deposit-funded facility); |
|
|
|
|
|
a $1.2 billion second lien term loan facility due
April 30, 2010; |
|
|
|
|
|
the Euro equivalent of approximately $650 million in credit
facilities for Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V.
(GDTE) due April 30, 2010 (consisting of
approximately $450 million in revolving facilities and
approximately $200 million in term loan
facilities); and |
|
|
|
|
|
a $300 million third lien term loan facility due
March 1, 2011. |
|
In connection with the refinancing, we paid down and retired the
following facilities:
|
|
|
|
|
|
our $1.3 billion asset-based credit facility, due March
2006 (the $800 million term loan portion of this facility
was fully drawn prior to the refinancing); |
|
|
|
|
|
our $650 million asset-based term loan facility, due March
2006 (this facility was fully drawn prior to the refinancing); |
|
|
|
|
|
our $680 million deposit-funded credit facility due
September 2007 (there were $492 million of letters of
credit outstanding under this facility prior to the
refinancing); and |
|
|
|
|
|
our $650 million senior secured European facilities due
April 2005 (the $400 million term loan portion of this
facility was fully drawn prior to the refinancing). |
|
In conjunction with the refinancing, we paid fees of
approximately $57 million. In addition, we paid
approximately $20 million of termination fees associated
with the replaced facilities. We recognized approximately
$47 million of expense in the second quarter to write-off
fees associated with the refinancing, including approximately
$30 million of previously unamortized fees related to the
replaced facilities. The remaining fees will be amortized over
the term of the new facilities.
$1.5 Billion First Lien Credit Facility
The $1.5 billion first lien credit facility consists of a
$1.0 billion revolving facility and a $500 million
deposit-funded facility. Our obligations under these facilities
are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned
U.S. subsidiaries and by our wholly-owned Canadian
subsidiary, Goodyear Canada Inc. 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.
With respect to the deposit-funded facility, the lenders
deposited the entire $500 million of the facility in an
account held by the administrative agent, and those funds are
used to support letters of credit or borrowings on a revolving
basis, in each case subject to customary conditions. The full
amount of the deposit-funded facility is available for the
issuance of letters of credit or for revolving loans. As of
September 30, 2005, there were $498 million of letters
of credit issued under the deposit-funded facility. There were
no borrowings under the facility at September 30, 2005.
52
$1.2 Billion Second Lien Term Loan Facility
Our obligations under this facility are guaranteed by most of
our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and by our wholly-owned
Canadian subsidiary, Goodyear Canada Inc. and are secured by
second priority security interests in the same collateral
securing the $1.5 billion asset-based credit facility. As
of September 30, 2005 this facility was fully drawn.
$300 Million Third Lien Secured Term
Loan Facility
Our obligations under this facility are guaranteed by most of
our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and by our wholly-owned
Canadian subsidiary, Goodyear Canada Inc. and are secured by
third priority security interests in the same collateral
securing the $1.5 billion asset-based credit facility
(however, the facility is not secured by any of the
manufacturing facilities that secure the first and second lien
facilities). As of September 30, 2005, this facility was
fully drawn.
Euro Equivalent of $650 Million
(505 Million)
Senior Secured European Credit Facilities
These facilities consist of
(i) a 195 million
European revolving credit facility, (ii) an
additional 155 million
German revolving credit facility, and
(iii) 155 million
of German term loan facilities. We secure the
U.S. facilities described above and provide unsecured
guarantees to support these facilities. GDTE and certain of its
subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France and
Germany also provide guarantees. GDTEs obligations under
the facilities and the obligations of subsidiary guarantors
under the related guarantees are secured by a variety of
collateral. As of September 30, 2005, there were
$4 million of letters of credit issued under the European
revolving credit facility, $187 million was drawn under the
German term loan facilities and there were no borrowings under
the German or European revolving credit facilities.
For a description of the collateral securing the above
facilities as well as the covenants applicable to them, please
refer to the unaudited interim financial statements Note 5,
Financing Arrangements.
Consolidated EBITDA (per
Credit Agreements)
Under our primary credit facilities we are not permitted to fall
below a ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 of Consolidated EBITDA to
Consolidated Interest Expense (as such terms are defined in each
of the relevant credit facilities) for any period of four
consecutive fiscal quarters. In addition, our ratio of
Consolidated Net Secured Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (as
such terms are defined in each of the relevant credit
facilities) is not permitted to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00 at
any time.
Consolidated EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is
presented not as a measure of operating results, but rather as a
measure under our debt covenants. It should not be construed as
an alternative to either (i) income from operations or
(ii) cash flows from operating activities. Our failure to
comply with the financial covenants in our credit facilities
could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and
operations. Accordingly, we believe that the presentation of
Consolidated EBITDA will provide investors with information
needed to assess our ability to continue to comply with these
covenants.
The following table presents the calculation of EBITDA and
Consolidated EBITDA for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004. Other companies may calculate
similarly titled
53
measures differently than we do. Certain line items are
presented as defined in the restructured credit facilities, and
do not reflect amounts as presented in the Consolidated
Statement of Income.

Other Foreign Credit Facilities |
At September 30, 2005, we had short-term committed and
uncommitted bank credit arrangements totaling $462 million,
of which $210 million were unused, compared to
$339 million and $182 million at December 31,
2004. The continued availability of these arrangements is at the
discretion of the relevant lender, and a portion of these
arrangements may be terminated at any time.

International Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities
(On-Balance-Sheet) |
On December 10, 2004, GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries
entered into a new five-year pan-European accounts receivable
securitization facility. The facility initially
provided 165 million
(approximately $225 million) of funding. The facility was
subsequently expanded
to 275 million
(approximately $331 million) and is subject to customary
annual renewal of back-up liquidity lines.
As of September 30, 2005, the amount outstanding and fully
utilized under this program was $331 million compared to
$225 million as of December 31, 2004.
In addition to the pan-European accounts receivable
securitization facility discussed above, SPT and other
subsidiaries in Australia have accounts receivable programs
totaling $58 million and $63 million at
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.
|
|
|
International Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities
(Off-Balance-Sheet) |
Various other international subsidiaries have also established
accounts receivable continuous sales programs. At
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, proceeds
available to these subsidiaries from the sale of certain of
their receivables totaled $5 million. These subsidiaries
retain servicing responsibilities.

We are a party to three registration rights agreements in
connection with our private placement of $350 million of
convertible notes in July 2004, $650 million of senior
secured notes in March 2004, and $400 million of senior
notes in June 2005.
The registration rights agreement for the convertible notes
requires us to pay additional interest to investors if we fail
to file a registration statement to register the convertible
notes by November 7, 2004, or if such registration
statement is not declared effective by the SEC by
December 31, 2004. The additional interest to investors is
at a rate of 0.25% per year for the first 90 days and
0.50% per year thereafter. Although we filed a registration
statement on Form S-1 for the convertible notes on
August 29, 2005, we will continue to pay additional
interest until such time as the registration statement is
declared effective. As of September 30, 2005, the
additional interest associated with the convertible notes was
0.50%.
The registration rights agreement for the $650 million of
senior secured notes issued in March 2004, requires us to pay
additional interest to investors if a registered exchange offer
for the notes is not completed by December 7, 2004. We
filed a registration statement on Form S-4 on
October 11, 2005, as amended on November 16, 2005, for
the purpose of registering an exchange offer for the senior
secured notes, and we will continue to pay additional interest
until the exchange offer is completed. The additional interest
to investors is at a rate of 1.00% per year for the first
90 days, increasing in increments of 0.25% every
90 days thereafter, to a maximum of 2.00% per year. If
the rate of additional interest payable reaches 2.00% per
year then the interest rate for the secured notes will be
permanently increased by 0.25% per annum after the exchange
offer is completed. As of September 30, 2005, the
additional interest associated with the senior secured notes was
1.75%.
The registration rights agreement for the $400 million of
senior notes issued in June 2005, requires us to pay additional
interest to investors if an exchange offer is not completed by
March 20, 2006. The annual interest rate borne by the notes
will be increased by 0.25% per annum and an additional
0.25% per annum every 90 days thereafter, up to a
maximum additional cash interest of 1.00% per annum, until
the exchange offer is completed, the registration statement is
declared effective, or the notes become freely tradable under
the Securities Act. We filed a registration statement on
Form S-4 on October 11, 2005, as amended on
December 2, 2005, for the purpose of registering an
exchange offer for the notes.

Although we do not request ratings from Fitch, the rating agency
rates our secured debt facilities (ranging from B+ to B-
depending on facility) and our unsecured debt (CCC+).
As a result of these ratings and other related events, we
believe that our access to capital markets may be limited.
Unless our debt credit ratings and operating performance
improve, our access to the credit markets in the future may be
limited. Moreover, a reduction in our credit ratings would
further increase the cost of any financing initiatives we may
pursue.
55
A rating reflects only the view of a rating agency, and is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Any rating can
be revised upward or downward at any time by a rating agency if
such rating agency decides that circumstances warrant such a
change.
|
|
|
Potential Future Financings |
In addition to our previous financing activities, we plan to
undertake additional financing actions in the capital markets in
order to ensure that our future liquidity requirements are
addressed. These actions may include the issuance of additional
equity.
Because of our debt ratings, operating performance over the past
few years and other factors, access to the capital markets
cannot be assured. Our ongoing ability to access the capital
markets is also dependent on the degree of success we have
implementing our North American Tire turnaround strategy.
Successful implementation of the turnaround strategy is also
crucial to ensuring that we have sufficient cash flow from
operations to meet our obligations. While we have made progress
in implementing the turnaround strategy, there is no assurance
that our progress will continue, or that we will be able to
sustain any future progress to a degree sufficient to maintain
access to capital markets and meet liquidity requirements. As a
result, failure to complete the turnaround strategy successfully
could have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
results of operations and liquidity.
Future liquidity requirements also may make it necessary for us
to incur additional debt. However, a substantial portion of our
assets is 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, unless we sustain or improve our financial
performance, our ability to raise unsecured debt may be limited.
On February 4, 2003, we announced that we eliminated our
quarterly cash dividend. The dividend reduction was decided on
by the Board of Directors in order to conserve cash. Under the
credit facilities entered into in the April 8, 2005
refinancing, we are permitted to pay dividends on our common
stock of $10 million or less in any fiscal year. This limit
increases to $50 million in any fiscal year if Moodys
senior (implied) rating and Standard & Poors
(S&P) corporate rating improve to Ba2 or better and BB or
better, respectively.
On August 9, 2005, we announced the completion of the sale
of our natural rubber plantations in Indonesia at a purchase
price of approximately $62 million, subject to post-closing
adjustments. On September 1, 2005, we announced that we had
completed the sale of our Wingtack adhesive resins business to
Sartomer Company, Inc. We received approximately
$55 million in cash proceeds and retained approximately
$10 million in working capital in connection with the
Wingtack sale. In addition, the sales agreement provides for a
three-year earnout whereby we may receive additional
consideration ($5 million per year, $15 million
aggregate) for the sale based on future operating performance of
the business. We are also awaiting the necessary approvals to
complete the sale of assets of our North American farm tire
business to Titan International for approximately
$100 million. In connection with the transaction, we expect
to record a loss of approximately $70 million on the sale,
primarily related to pension and retiree medical costs. Also, on
September 20, 2005, we announced that we are exploring the
possible sale of our Engineered Products business. Engineered
Products manufactures and markets engineered rubber products for
industrial, military, consumer and transportation original
equipment end-users.

Long term debt payments include notes payable and reflect long
term debt maturities as of September 30, 2005. |
|
|
|
(2) |
The present value of capital lease obligations is
$78 million. |
|
|
|
(3) |
These amounts represent future interest payments related to our
existing debt obligations as of September 30, 2005 based on
fixed and variable interest rates specified in the associated
debt agreements. Payments related to variable debt are based on
the six-month LIBOR rate at September 30, 2005 plus the
specified margin in the associated debt agreements for each
period presented. The amounts provided relate only to existing
debt obligations and do not assume the refinancing or
replacement of such debt. |
|
|
|
(4) |
Operating leases do not include minimum sublease rentals of
$50 million, $42 million, $34 million,
$24 million, $16 million and $27 million in each
of the periods above, respectively, for a total of
$193 million. Payments, net of minimum sublease rentals
total $1,275 million. The present value of the net
operating lease payments is $899 million. The operating
leases relate to, among other things, computers and office
equipment, real estate and miscellaneous other assets. No asset
is leased from any related party. |
|
|
|
(5) |
The obligation related to pension benefits is actuarially
determined and is reflective of obligations as of
December 31, 2004. Although subject to change, the amounts
set forth in the table represent our estimated funding
requirements in 2005 and 2006 for domestic defined benefit
pension plans under ERISA, and approximately $82 million of
expected contributions to our funded international pension plans
in 2005. The expected contributions are based upon a number of
assumptions, including: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an ERISA liability interest rate of 6.10% for 2005 and 5.08%
using a Treasury bond basis for 2006, and |
|
|
|
|
|
plan asset returns of 8.5% in 2005. |
|
|
|
|
At the end of 2005, the current interest rate relief measures
used for domestic pension funding calculations expire. If
current measures are extended, we estimate that required
contributions in 2006 will be in the range of $550 million
to $600 million. If new legislation is not enacted, the
interest rate used for 2006 and beyond will be based upon a
30-year U.S. Treasury bond rate, as calculated and
published by the U.S. government as a proxy for the rate
that could be attained if 30-year Treasury bonds were currently
being issued. Using an estimate of these rates would result in
estimated required contributions during 2006 in the range of
$700 million to $750 million. The estimated amount set
forth in the table for 2006 represents the midpoint of this
range. We likely will be subject to additional statutory minimum
funding requirements after 2006. We are not able to reasonably
estimate our future required contributions |
57
|
|
|
beyond 2006 due to uncertainties regarding significant
assumptions involved in estimating future required contributions
to our defined benefit pension plans, including: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
interest rate levels, |
|
|
|
|
|
the amount and timing of asset returns, |
|
|
|
|
|
what, if any, changes may occur in legislation, and |
|
|
|
|
|
how contributions in excess of the minimum requirements could
impact the amounts and timing of future contributions. |
|
|
|
|
We expect the amount of contributions required in years beyond
2006 will be substantial. |
|
|
|
(6) |
The payments presented above are expected payments for the next
10 years. The payments for other postretirement benefits reflect
the estimated benefit payments of the plans using the provisions
currently in effect. We reserve the right to modify or terminate
the plans at any time. The obligation related to other
postretirement benefits is actuarially determined on an annual
basis. The estimated payments have been reduced to reflect the
provisions of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003. |
|
|
|
(7) |
The payments for workers compensation are based upon
recent historical payment patterns. The present value of
anticipated payments for workers compensation is
$258 million. |
|
|
|
(8) |
Binding commitments are for our normal operations and are
related primarily to obligations to acquire land, buildings and
equipment. In addition, binding commitments include obligations
to purchase raw materials through short-term supply contracts at
fixed prices or at a formula price related to market prices or
negotiated prices. |
|
Additional other long-term liabilities include items such as
income taxes, general and product liabilities, environmental
liabilities and miscellaneous other long-term liabilities. These
other liabilities are not contractual obligations by nature. We
cannot, with any degree of reliability, determine the years in
which these liabilities might ultimately be settled.
Accordingly, these other long-term liabilities are not included
in the above table.
In addition, the following contingent contractual obligations,
the amounts of which cannot be estimated, are not included in
the table above:
|
|
|
|
|
|
The terms and conditions of our global alliance with Sumitomo as
set forth in the Umbrella Agreement between Sumitomo and us
provide for certain minority exit rights available to Sumitomo
commencing in 2009. In addition, the occurrence of certain other
events enumerated in the Umbrella Agreement, including certain
bankruptcy events or changes in control of us, could trigger a
right of Sumitomo to require us to purchase these interests
immediately. Sumitomos exit rights, in the unlikely event
of exercise, could require us to make a substantial payment to
acquire Sumitomos interest in the alliance. |
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to an agreement entered into in 2001, Ansell Ltd.
(Ansell) has the right, during the period beginning
August 13, 2005 and ending August 14, 2006, to require
us to purchase Ansells 50% interest in SPT. The purchase
price is a formula price based on the earnings of SPT, subject
to various adjustments. If Ansell does not exercise its right,
we may require Ansell to sell its interest to us during the
180 days following the expiration of Ansells right at
a price established using the same formula. |
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to an agreement entered into in 2001, we shall purchase
minimum amounts of carbon black from a certain supplier from
January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2006, at agreed
upon base prices that are subject to quarterly adjustments for
changes in raw material costs and natural gas costs and a
one-time adjustment for other manufacturing costs. |
|
We do not engage in the trading of commodity contracts or any
related derivative contracts. We generally purchase raw
materials and energy through short-term, intermediate and long
term supply contracts at fixed prices or at formula prices
related to market prices or negotiated prices. We will, however,
from time to time, enter into contracts to hedge our energy
costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
An off-balance sheet arrangement is any transaction, agreement
or other contractual arrangement involving an unconsolidated
entity under which a company has (1) made guarantees,
(2) a retained or a contingent interest in transferred
assets, (3) an obligation under certain derivative
instruments or (4) any obligation arising out of a material
variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides
financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to a
company, or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and
development arrangements with the company. The following table
presents off-balance sheet arrangements at September 30,
2005.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R). Under the provisions of SFAS 123R,
companies are required to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on
the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exception).
That cost will be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the
award, usually the vesting period. On April 14, 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a delay
to the effective date of SFAS 123R. Under the new SEC rule,
SFAS 123R is effective for annual periods that begin after
June 15, 2005. SFAS 123R applies to all awards
granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled by us after
December 31, 2005 and to unvested options at the date of
adoption. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 123R to
have a material impact on our results of operations, financial
position or liquidity.
The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151). The
provisions of SFAS 151 are intended to eliminate narrow
differences between the existing accounting standards of the
FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) related to inventory costs, in particular, the
treatment of abnormal idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs and spoilage. SFAS 151 requires that these costs be
recognized as current period charges regardless of the extent to
which they are considered abnormal. The provisions of
SFAS 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred during
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We are
currently assessing the potential impact of implementing
SFAS 151 on the consolidated financial statements.
FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47) an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143),
clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as
used in SFAS 143. The term refers to a legal obligation to
perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and
(or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event
that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The
obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is
unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing
and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and
(or) method of settlement may be conditional on a future
event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a
liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement
obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably
estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional
asset retirement obligation should be recognized when
incurred generally upon acquisition, construction,
or development and (or) through the normal operation of the
asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or) method of
settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should
be factored into the measurement of the liability when
sufficient information exists. FIN 47 is effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. Retrospective
application for interim financial information is permitted but
is not
59
required. We are currently evaluating the impact of FIN 47
on the consolidated financial statements and will implement this
new standard for the year ended December 31, 2005, in
accordance with its requirements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
SFAS No. 154 is a replacement of APB No. 20 and
FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 provides
guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting
changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective
application as the required method for reporting a change in
accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance
for determining whether retrospective application of a change in
accounting principle is impracticable and for reporting a change
when retrospective application is impracticable. The reporting
of a correction of an error by restating previously issued
financial statements is also addressed by SFAS No. 154.
SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 2005. The Company will adopt this pronouncement
beginning in fiscal year 2006.
In June 2005, the FASB staff issued a FASB Staff Position 143-1
Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste
Obligations (FSP 143-1) to address the accounting for
obligations associated with the Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the Directive)
adopted by the European Union. The Directive effectively
obligates a commercial user to incur costs associated with the
retirement of a specified asset that qualifies as historical
waste equipment. The commercial user should apply the provisions
of SFAS 143 and the related FIN 47 discussed above.
FSP 143-1 shall be applied the later of the first reporting
period ending after June 8, 2005 or the date of the
adoption of the law by the applicable EU-member country. We
adopted the FSP at certain of our European operations where
applicable legislation was adopted. The impact of the adoption
on the consolidated financial statements was not significant.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
We continuously monitor our fixed and floating rate debt mix.
Within defined limitations, we manage the mix using refinancing
and unleveraged interest rate swaps. We will enter into fixed
and floating interest rate swaps to alter our exposure to the
impact of changing interest rates on consolidated results of
operations and future cash outflows for interest payments. Fixed
rate swaps are used to reduce our risk of increased interest
costs during periods of rising interest rates, and are normally
designated as cash flow hedges. Floating rate swaps are used to
convert the fixed rates of long-term borrowings into short-term
variable rates, and are normally designated as fair value
hedges. Interest rate swap contracts are thus used by us to
separate interest rate risk management from debt funding
decisions. At September 30, 2005 and December 31,
2004, the interest rates on 49% of our debt were fixed by either
the nature of the obligation or through the interest rate swap
contracts. We also have from time to time entered into interest
rate lock contracts to hedge the risk-free component of
anticipated debt issuances. As a result of credit ratings our
access to these instruments may be limited.

The pro forma information assumes a 100 basis point
increase in market interest rates at September 30, 2005 and
2004, and reflects the estimated fair value of fixed rate debt
outstanding at that date under that assumption.
61
The sensitivity to changes in interest rates of our interest
rate contracts and fixed rate debt was determined with a
valuation model based upon net modified duration analysis. The
model assumes a parallel shift in the yield curve. The precision
of the model decreases as the assumed change in interest rates
increases.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We enter into foreign currency contracts in order to reduce the
impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on 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 receivables and
payables, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans and royalty
agreements and forecasted purchases and sales. In addition, the
principal and interest on our Swiss franc bond due 2006 is
hedged by currency swap agreements.
Contracts hedging the Swiss franc bond are designated as a cash
flow hedge. Contracts hedging short-term trade receivables and
payables normally have no hedging designation.

sales in 2004 increased by 5.5 million replacement units
and 0.8 million OE units due to the consolidation of SPT.
For further information, refer to the Note to the Financial
Statements No. 8, Investments.
New tires are sold under highly competitive conditions
throughout the world. On a worldwide basis, we have two major
competitors: Bridgestone (based in Japan) and Michelin (based in
France). Other significant competitors include Continental,
Cooper, Pirelli, Toyo, Yokohama, Kumho, Hankook and various
regional tire manufacturers.
64
We compete with other tire manufacturers on the basis of product
design, performance, price and reputation, warranty terms,
customer service and consumer convenience. Goodyear-brand and
Dunlop-brand tires enjoy a high recognition factor and have a
reputation for performance, quality and value. Kelly-brand,
Debica-brand, Sava-brand and various other house brand tire
lines offered by us, and tires manufactured and sold by us to
private brand customers, compete primarily on the basis of value
and price.
We do not consider our tire businesses to be seasonal to any
significant degree. A significant inventory of new tires is
maintained in order to optimize production schedules consistent
with anticipated demand and assure prompt delivery to customers,
especially just in time deliveries of tires or tire
and wheel assemblies to OE manufacturers. Notwithstanding, tire
inventory levels are designed to minimize working capital
requirements.

North American Tire is a major supplier of tires to most
manufacturers of automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, farm and
construction equipment and aircraft that have production
facilities located in North America. Our 2004 unit sales in
the North American original equipment market channel decreased
compared to 2003 and 2002 due to our selective fitment strategy
in the consumer original equipment business.
Goodyear-brand, Dunlop-brand and Kelly-brand tires are sold in
the United States and Canadian replacement markets through
several channels of distribution. The principal channel for
Goodyear-brand tires is a large network of independent dealers.
Goodyear-brand, Dunlop-brand and Kelly-brand tires are also sold
to numerous national and regional retail marketing firms in the
United States. North American Tire also operates approximately
917 retail outlets (including auto service centers, commercial
tire and service centers and leased space in department stores)
under the Goodyear name or under the Wingfoot Commercial Tire
Systems, Allied or Just Tires trade styles. Several lines of
house brand tires and private and associate brand tires are sold
to independent dealers, national and regional wholesale
marketing organizations and various other retail marketers.
Automotive parts, automotive maintenance and repair services and
associated merchandise are sold under highly competitive
conditions in the United States and Canada through retail
outlets operated by North American Tire.
North American Tire periodically offers various financing and
extended payment programs to certain of its tire customers in
the replacement market. We do not believe these programs, when
considered in the aggregate, require an unusual amount of
working capital relative to the volume of sales involved, and
they are consistent with prevailing tire industry practices.
We are subject to regulation by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), which has established
various standards and regulations applicable to tires sold in
the United States for highway use. NHTSA has the authority to
order the recall of automotive products, including tires, having
safety defects related to motor vehicle safety. In addition, the
Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and
Documentation Act (the TREAD Act) imposes numerous
requirements with respect to tire recalls. The TREAD Act also
requires tire manufacturers to, among other things, remedy tire
safety defects without charge for five years and conform with
revised and more rigorous tire standards, once the revised
standards are implemented.
Most external sales of chemical products and natural rubber are
made directly to manufacturers of various products. Several
major firms are significant suppliers of one or more chemical
products similar to those manufactured by North American Tire.
The principal competitors of the chemical products business of
66
North American Tire include Bayer and Dow. The markets are
highly competitive, with product quality and price being the
most significant factors to most customers. North American Tire
believes its chemical products are generally considered to be of
high quality and are competitive in price.

General Business Information
|
|
|
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials |
The principal raw materials used by Goodyear are synthetic and
natural rubber. We purchase substantially all of our
requirements for natural rubber in the world market. Synthetic
rubber typically accounts for slightly more than half of all
rubber consumed by us on an annual basis. Our plants located in
Beaumont, and Houston, Texas, supply the major portion of our
synthetic rubber requirements in North America. We purchase a
significant amount of our synthetic rubber requirements outside
North America from third parties.
We use nylon and polyester yarns, substantial quantities of
which are processed in our textile mills. Significant quantities
of steel wire are used for radial tires, a portion of which we
produce. Other important raw materials we use are carbon black,
pigments, chemicals and bead wire. Substantially all of these
raw materials are purchased from independent suppliers, except
for certain chemicals we manufacture. We purchase most raw
materials in significant quantities from several suppliers,
except in those instances where only one or a few qualified
sources are available. As in 2004 and 2005, we anticipate the
continued availability of all raw materials we will require
during 2006, subject to spot shortages.
Substantial quantities of hydrocarbon-based chemicals and fuels
are used in the production of tires and other rubber products,
synthetic rubber, latex and other products. Supplies of
chemicals and fuels have been and are expected to continue to be
available to us in quantities sufficient to satisfy our
anticipated requirements, subject to spot shortages.
70
In 2004, raw materials costs increased approximately
$280 million from 2003 levels due to inflation. Raw
materials costs are expected to increase during 2005, driven by
increases in the cost of oil, steel, petrochemicals and natural
rubber. Continued volatility in the commodity markets could
result in further increases in prices.
We own approximately 2,550 product, process and equipment
patents issued by the United States Patent Office and
approximately 5,900 patents issued or granted in other countries
around the world. We also have licenses under numerous patents
of others. We have approximately 580 applications for United
States patents pending and approximately 3,900 patent
applications on file in other countries around the world. While
such patents, patent applications and licenses as a group are
important, we do not consider any patent, patent application or
license, or any related group of them, to be of such importance
that the loss or expiration thereof would materially affect
Goodyear or any business segment.
We own or control and use approximately 1,570 different
trademarks, including several using the word
Goodyear or the word Dunlop.
Approximately 9,400 registrations and 900 pending applications
worldwide protect these trademarks. While such trademarks as a
group are important, the only trademarks we consider material to
our business, or to the business of any of our segments, are
those using the word Goodyear. We believe our
trademarks are valid and most are of unlimited duration as long
as they are adequately protected and appropriately used.
Our backlog of orders is not considered material to, or a
significant factor in, evaluating and understanding any of our
business segments or our businesses considered as a whole.
Our direct and indirect expenditures on research, development
and certain engineering activities relating to the design,
development and significant modification of new and existing
products and services and the formulation and design of new, and
significant improvements to existing, manufacturing processes
and equipment during the periods indicated were:

At September 30, 2005, we employed more than 75,000 people
throughout the world, including approximately 33,000 persons in
the United States. Approximately 13,700 of our employees in the
United States were covered by a master collective bargaining
agreement, dated August 20, 2003, with the United
Steelworkers, A.F.L.-C.I.O.-C.L.C. (USW), which
expires on July 22, 2006. In addition, approximately 1,800
of our employees in the United States were covered by other
contracts with the USW and various other unions. Unions
represent the major portion of our employees in Europe, Latin
America and Asia.

Compliance with Environmental Regulations |
We are subject to extensive regulation under environmental and
occupational health and safety laws and regulations. These laws
and regulations relate to, among other things, air emissions,
discharges to surface and underground waters and the generation,
handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste
materials and hazardous substances. We have several continuing
programs designed to ensure compliance with federal, state and
local environmental and occupational safety and health laws and
regulations. We expect capital
71
expenditures for pollution control facilities and occupational
safety and health projects will be approximately
$24 million during 2005 and approximately $28 million
during 2006.
We expended approximately $65 million during 2004, and
expect to expend approximately $62 million during 2005 and
$60 million during 2006, to maintain and operate our
pollution control facilities and conduct our other environmental
activities, including the control and disposal of hazardous
substances. These expenditures are expected to be sufficient to
comply with existing environmental laws and regulations and are
not expected to have a material adverse effect on our
competitive position.
In the future we may incur increased costs and additional
charges associated with environmental compliance and cleanup
projects necessitated by the identification of new waste sites,
the impact of new environmental laws and regulatory standards,
or the availability of new technologies. Compliance with
federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations in
the future may require a material increase in our capital
expenditures and could adversely affect our earnings and
competitive position.
Information About International Operations
We engage in manufacturing and/or sales operations in most
countries in the world, often through subsidiary companies. We
have manufacturing operations in the United States and 27 other
countries. Most of our international manufacturing operations
are engaged in the production of tires. Several engineered

in plants located outside the United States. Financial
information related to our geographic areas for the three year
period ended December 31, 2004 appears in the Note to the
Financial Statements No. 18, Business Segments, included
herein, and appears in Note 8 to the unaudited Interim
Financial Statements included herein.
In addition to the ordinary risks of the marketplace, in some
countries our operations are affected by price controls, import
controls, labor regulations, tariffs, extreme inflation and/or
fluctuations in currency values. Furthermore, in certain
countries where we operate, transfers of funds into or out of
such countries are generally or periodically subject to various
restrictive governmental regulations.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Heatway Litigation and Settlement
On June 4, 2004, we entered into an amended settlement
agreement in Galanti et al. v. Goodyear (Case
No. 03-209, United States District Court, District of New
Jersey) that was intended to address the claims arising out of a
number of Federal, state and Canadian actions filed against us
involving a rubber hose product, Entran II, that we
supplied from 1989 to 1993 to Chiles Power Supply, Inc. (d/b/a
Heatway Systems), a designer and seller of hydronic radiant
heating systems in the United States. Heating systems using
Entran II are typically attached or embedded in either
indoor flooring or outdoor pavement, and use Entran II hose
as a conduit to circulate warm fluid as a source of heat.
On October 19, 2004, the Galanti court conducted a
fairness hearing on, and gave final approval to, the amended
settlement. As a result, we will make annual cash contributions
to a settlement fund of $60 million, $40 million,
$15 million, $15 million and $20 million in 2004,
2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. In addition to these
annual payments, we contributed approximately $170 million
received from insurance contributions to a settlement fund
pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement. We do not
expect to receive any additional insurance reimbursements for
Entran II related matters. In November 2004, we made our
first annual cash contribution, approximately $60 million,
to the settlement fund.
Sixty-two sites initially opted-out of the amended settlement.
Currently, after taking into account sites that have opted back
in, as well as the settlement of Davis et al. v.
Goodyear (Case No. 99CV594, District Court, Eagle
County, Colorado), approximately 41 sites remain opted-out
of the settlement. In Davis, a settlement was reached
with the owners of 14 homesites in July 2005. There are
currently two Entran II actions filed against us, Cross
Mountain Ranch, LP v. Goodyear (Case No. 04CV105,
District Court, Routt County, Colorado), a case involving one
site and Bloom et al. v. Goodyear (Case
No. 05-CV-1317, United States District Court for the
District of Colorado), a case involving 9 sites filed
in July 2005. We also expect that a portion of the remaining
opt-outs may file actions against us in the future. Any
liability resulting from the following actions also will not be
covered by the amended settlement:
|
|
|
|
|
Malek, et al. v. Goodyear (Case No. 02-B-1172,
United States District Court for the District of Colorado), a
case involving 25 homesites, in which a federal jury awarded the
plaintiffs aggregate damages of $8.1 million of which 40%
was allocated to us. On July 12, 2004, judgment was entered
in Malek and an additional $4.8 million in
prejudgment interest was awarded to the plaintiffs, all of which
was allocated to us; and |
|
|
|
|
Holmes v. Goodyear (Case No. 98CV268-A,
District Court, Pitkin County, Colorado), a case involving one
site in which the jury awarded the plaintiff $632,937 in
damages, of which the jury allocated 20% to us, resulting in a
net award against us of $126,587. The plaintiff was also awarded
$367,860 in prejudgment interest and costs, all of which was
allocated to us. |
|
Although liability resulting from the opt outs, Malek and
Holmes will not be covered by the amended settlement, we
will be entitled to assert a proxy claim against the settlement
fund for the payment such claimant would have been entitled to
under the amended settlement.
In addition, any liability of ours arising out of the actions
listed below will not be covered by the amended settlement nor
will we be entitled to assert a proxy claim against the
settlement fund for amounts (if any) paid to plaintiffs in these
actions:
|
|
|
|
|
Goodyear v. Vista Resorts, Inc. (Case
No. 02CA1690, Colorado Court of Appeals), an action
involving five homesites, in which a jury rendered a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff real estate developer in the aggregate
amount of approximately $5.9 million, which damages were
trebled under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. The total
damages awarded were approximately $22.7 million, including
interest, attorneys fees and costs. This verdict was
upheld by the Court of Appeals in 2004 and on August 8,
2005 the Supreme Court of Colorado denied Goodyears
Petition for Writ of Certiorari. Following the Supreme
Courts ruling, we paid the plaintiffs $25.6 million
in satisfaction of the |
75
|
|
|
|
|
|
judgment, which included an amount for interest on the judgment.
The liability incurred in Vista was not covered by the
amended settlement. |
|
|
|
|
Sumerel et al. v. Goodyear et al (Case
No. 02CA1997, Colorado Court of Appeals), a case involving
six sites in which a judgment was entered against us in the
amount of $1.3 million plus interest and costs; and |
|
|
|
Loughridge v. Goodyear and Chiles Power Supply, Inc.
(Case No. 98-B-1302, United States District Court for the
District of Colorado), a case consolidating claims involving 36
Entran II sites, in which a federal jury awarded 34
homeowners aggregate damages of $8.2 million, 50% of which
was allocated to us. On September 8, 2003, an additional
$5.7 million in prejudgment interest was awarded to the
plaintiffs, all of which was allocated to us. |
We are pursuing appeals of Holmes, Loughridge, Malek, and
Sumerel and expect that except for liabilities associated
with these cases, and the sites that opt out of the amended
settlement, our liability with respect to Entran II matters
will be addressed by the amended settlement.
The ultimate cost of disposing of Entran II claims is
dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to
resolve claims not subject to the amended settlement (including
the cases in which we have received adverse judgments), the
extent to which the liability, if any, associated with such a
claim may be offset by our ability to assert a proxy claim
against the settlement fund and whether or not claimants opting
out of the amended settlement pursue claims against us in the
future.
Japan Investigation
On June 17, 2004, we became aware that the Japan Fair Trade
Commission had commenced an investigation into alleged unfair
business practices by several tire manufacturers and
distributors in Japan that supply tires to the Japan National
Defense Agency. One of the companies being investigated is
Goodyear Wingfoot KK, a subsidiary of ours. Depending upon the
results of its investigation, the Japan Fair Trade Commission
may pursue sanctions against the tire manufacturers and
distributors.
SEC Investigation
On October 22, 2003, we announced that we would restate our
financial results for the years ended 1998 through 2002 and for
the first and second quarters of 2003. Following this
announcement, the SEC advised us that they had initiated an
informal inquiry into the facts and circumstances related to the
restatement. On February 5, 2004, the SEC advised us that
it had approved the issuance of a formal order of investigation.
The order authorized an investigation into possible violations
of the securities laws related to the restatement and previous
public filings. On August 16, 2005, we announced that we
had received a Wells Notice from the staff of the
SEC. The Wells Notice states that the SEC staff intends to
recommend that a civil or administrative enforcement action be
brought against us for alleged violations of provisions of the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 relating to the maintenance
of books, records and internal accounting controls, the
establishment of disclosure controls and procedures, and the
periodic SEC filing requirements, as set forth in
sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A) and (B) of the Act and
SEC Rules 12b-20, 13a-13 and 13a-15(a). The alleged
violations relate to the account reconciliation matters giving
rise to our initial decision to restate in October 2003. We have
also been informed that Wells Notices have been issued to a
former chief financial officer and a former chief accounting
officer of ours. We continue to cooperate with the SEC in
connection with this matter, the outcome of which cannot be
predicted at this time.
Securities Litigation
On October 23, 2003, following the announcement of the
restatement, a purported class action lawsuit was filed against
us in the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Ohio on behalf of purchasers of Goodyear common stock
alleging violations of the federal securities laws. After that
date, a total of 20 of these purported class actions were filed
against us in that court. These lawsuits name as defendants
several of Goodyears present or former officers and
directors, including Goodyears current chief executive
76
officer, Robert J. Keegan, Goodyears current chief
financial officer, Richard J. Kramer, and Goodyears former
chief financial officer, Robert W. Tieken, and allege, among
other things, that Goodyear and the other named defendants
violated federal securities laws by artificially inflating and
maintaining the market price of Goodyears securities. Five
derivative lawsuits were also filed by purported shareholders on
behalf of Goodyear in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Ohio and two similar derivative lawsuits
originally filed in the Court of Common Pleas for Summit County,
Ohio were removed to federal court. The derivative actions are
against present and former directors, Goodyears present
and former chief executive officers and Goodyears former
chief financial officer and allege, among other things, breach
of fiduciary duty and corporate waste arising out of the same
events and circumstances upon which the securities class actions
are based. The plaintiffs in the federal derivative actions also
allege violations of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, by certain of the named defendants. Finally, at least
11 lawsuits have been filed in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Ohio against Goodyear, The Northern
Trust Company, and current and/or former officers of Goodyear
asserting breach of fiduciary claims under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) on behalf of a
putative class of participants in Goodyears Employee
Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees and Goodyears
Savings Plan for Salaried Employees. The plaintiffs claims
in these actions arise out of the same events and circumstances
upon which the securities class actions and derivative actions
are based. All of these actions have been consolidated into
three separate actions before the Honorable Judge John Adams in
the United States District Court for the Northern District of
Ohio. On June 28 and July 16, 2004, amended complaints were
filed in each of the three consolidated actions. The amended
complaint in the purported ERISA class action added certain
current and former directors and associates of Goodyear as
additional defendants and the Northern Trust Company was
subsequently dismissed without prejudice from this action. On
November 15, 2004, the defendants filed motions to dismiss
all three consolidated cases and the Court is considering these
motions. While Goodyear believes these claims are without merit
and intends to vigorously defend them, it is unable to predict
their outcome.
Asbestos Litigation
We are currently one of several (typically 50 to 80) defendants
in civil actions involving approximately 125,800 claimants (as
of September 30, 2005) relating to their alleged exposure
to materials containing asbestos in products manufactured by us
or asbestos materials at our facilities. These cases are pending
in various state courts, including primarily courts in
California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia, and in
certain federal courts relating to the plaintiffs alleged
exposure to materials containing asbestos. We manufactured,
among other things, rubber coated asbestos sheet gasket
materials from 1914 through 1973 and aircraft brake assemblies
containing asbestos materials prior to 1987. Some of the
claimants are independent contractors or their employees who
allege exposure to asbestos while working at certain of our
facilities. It is expected that in a substantial portion of
these cases there will be no evidence of exposure to a Goodyear
manufactured product containing asbestos or asbestos in Goodyear
facilities. The amount expended by us and our insurers on
defense and claim resolution was approximately $30 million
during 2004 and approximately $18 million during the first
nine months of 2005. The plaintiffs in the pending cases allege
that they were exposed to asbestos and, as a result of such
exposure suffer from various respiratory diseases, including in
some cases mesothelioma and lung cancer. The plaintiffs are
seeking unspecified actual and punitive damages and other relief.
Insurance Settlement
We reached agreement effective April 13, 2005, to settle
our claims for insurance coverage for asbestos and pollution
related liabilities with respect to pre-1993 insurance policies
issued by certain underwriters at Lloyds, London, and
reinsured by Equitas Limited. The settlement agreement generally
provides for the payment of money to us in exchange for the
release by us of past, present and future claims under those
policies and the cancellation of those policies; agreement by us
to indemnify the underwriters from claims asserted under those
policies; and provisions addressing the impact on the settlement
should federal asbestos reform legislation be enacted on or
before January 3, 2007.
77
Under the agreement, in the second quarter of 2005, Equitas paid
$22 million to us and placed $39 million into a trust.
The trust funds may be used to reimburse us for a portion of
costs we incur in the future to resolve certain asbestos claims.
Our ability to use any of the trust funds is subject to
specified confidential criteria, as well as limits on the amount
that may be drawn from the trust in any one month. If federal
asbestos reform legislation is enacted into law on or prior to
January 3, 2007, then the trust would repay Equitas any
amount it is required to pay with respect to our asbestos
liabilities as a result of such legislation. If such legislation
is not enacted by that date, any funds remaining in the trust
will be disbursed to us to enable us to meet future
asbestos-related liabilities or for other purposes.
We also reached an agreement effective July 27, 2005, to
settle our claims for insurance coverage for asbestos and
pollution related liabilities with respect to insurance policies
issued by certain other non-Equitas excess insurance carriers
which participated in policies issued in the London Market. The
settlement agreement generally provides for the payment of
$25 million to us in exchange for the release by us of
past, present and future claims under those policies and the
cancellation of those policies; and agreement by us to indemnify
the underwriters from claims asserted under those policies.
Engineered Products Antitrust Investigation
The Antitrust Division of the United States Department of
Justice is conducting a grand jury investigation concerning the
closure of a portion of our Bowmanville, Ontario conveyor
belting plant announced in October 2003. In that connection, the
Division has sought documents and other information from us and
several associates. The plant was part of our Engineered
Products division and originally employed approximately 120
people. Engineered Products had approximately $1.2 billion
in sales in 2003, including approximately $200 million of
sales related to conveyor belting. Although we do not believe
that we have violated the antitrust laws, we are cooperating
with the Department of Justice.
DOE Facility Litigation
On June 7, 1990, a civil action, Teresa Boggs,
et al. v. Divested Atomic Corporation, et al.
(Case No. C-1-90-450), was filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Ohio by Teresa Boggs
and certain other named plaintiffs on behalf of themselves and a
putative class comprised of certain other persons who resided
near the Portsmouth Uranium Enrichment Complex, a facility owned
by the United States Department of Energy located in Pike
County, Ohio (the DOE Plant), against Divested
Atomic Corporation (DAC), the successor by merger of
Goodyear Atomic Corporation (GAC), Goodyear, and
Lockheed Martin Energy Systems (LMES). GAC operated
the DOE Plant for several years pursuant to a series of
contracts with the DOE until LMES assumed operation of the DOE
Plant on November 16, 1986. The plaintiffs allege that the
operators of the DOE Plant contaminated certain areas near the
DOE Plant with radioactive and/or other hazardous materials
causing property damage and emotional distress. Plaintiffs claim
$300 million in compensatory damages, $300 million in
punitive damages and unspecified amounts for medical monitoring
and cleanup costs. This civil action is no longer a class action
as a result of rulings of the District Court decertifying the
class. On June 8, 1998, a civil action, Adkins,
et al. v. Divested Atomic Corporation, et al.
(Case No. C2 98-595), was filed in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern
Division, against DAC, Goodyear and LMES on behalf of
approximately 276 persons who currently reside, or in the
past resided, near the DOE Plant. The plaintiffs allege, on
behalf of themselves and a putative class of all persons who
were residents, property owners or lessees of property subject
to alleged windborne particulates and water run off from the DOE
Plant, that DAC (and, therefore, Goodyear) and LMES in their
operation of the Portsmouth DOE Plant (i) negligently
contaminated, and are strictly liable for contaminating, the
plaintiffs and their property with allegedly toxic substances,
(ii) have in the past maintained, and are continuing to
maintain, a private nuisance, (iii) have committed, and
continue to commit, trespass, and (iv) violated the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980. The plaintiffs are seeking $30 million in
actual damages, $300 million in punitive damages, other
unspecified legal and equitable remedies, costs, expenses and
attorneys fees.
78
Other Matters
In addition to the legal proceedings described above, various
other legal actions, claims and governmental investigations and
proceedings covering a wide range of matters are pending against
us, including claims and proceedings relating to several waste
disposal sites that have been identified by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and similar agencies of various
States for remedial investigation and cleanup, which sites were
allegedly used by us in the past for the disposal of industrial
waste materials. Based on available information, we do not
consider any such action, claim, investigation or proceeding to
be material, within the meaning of that term as used in
Item 103 of Regulation S-K and the instructions
thereto. For additional information regarding our legal
proceedings, refer to the Note to the Financial Statements
No. 20, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities included
herein, and Note 7 to the unaudited Interim Financial
Statements, included herein.

The supplementary data specified by Item 302 of
Regulation S-K as it relates to quarterly data is included

Compensation of Directors
Goodyear directors who are not officers or employees of Goodyear
or any of its subsidiaries receive, as compensation for their
services as a director, $17,500 per calendar quarter. The
Presiding Director receives an additional $13,750 per
calendar quarter. The chairperson of the Audit Committee
receives an additional $3,750 per calendar quarter and the
chairpersons of all other committees receive an additional
$1,250 per calendar quarter. Any director who attends more
than 24 board and committee meetings will receive $1,700 for
each additional meeting attended ($1,000 if the meeting is
attended by telephone). Travel and lodging expenses incurred in
attending board and committee meetings are paid by Goodyear. A
director who is also an officer or an employee of Goodyear or
any of its subsidiaries does not receive additional compensation
for his or her services as a director.
Directors who are not current or former employees of Goodyear or
its subsidiaries participate in the Outside Directors
Equity Participation Plan (the Directors Equity
Plan). The Directors Equity Plan is intended to
further align the interests of directors with the interests of
shareholders by making part of each directors compensation
dependent on the value and appreciation over time of the Common
Stock. Under the Directors Equity Plan, on the first
business day of each calendar quarter each eligible director who
has been a director for the entire preceding calendar quarter
will have $20,000 accrued to his or her plan account. On
April 13, 2004, individuals who had served as director
since October 1, 2003 had an additional $20,000 accrued to
their account pursuant to an April 13, 2004 amendment to
the Directors Equity Plan. Amounts accrued are converted
into units equivalent in value to shares of Common Stock at the
fair market value of the Common Stock on the accrual date. The
units will receive dividend equivalents at the same rate as the
Common Stock, which dividends will also be converted into units
in the same manner. The Directors Equity Plan also permits
each participant to annually elect to have 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%
of his or her retainer and meeting fees deferred and converted
into share equivalents on substantially the same basis.
A participating director is entitled to benefits under the
Directors Equity Plan after leaving the Board of Directors
unless the Board of Directors elects to deny or reduce benefits.
Benefits may not be denied or reduced if, prior to leaving the
Board of Directors, the director either (i) attained the
age of 70 with at least five years of Board service or
(ii) attained the age of 65 with at least ten years of
Board service. The units will be converted to a dollar value at
the price of the Common Stock on the later of the first business
day of the seventh month following the month during which the
participant ceases to be a director and the fifth business day
of the year next following the year during which the participant
ceased to be a director. Such amount will be paid in ten annual
installments or, at the discretion of the Compensation
Committee, in a lump sum or in fewer than ten installments
beginning on the fifth business day following the aforesaid
conversion from units to a dollar value. Amounts in Plan
accounts will earn interest from the date converted to a dollar
value until paid at a rate one percent higher than the
prevailing yield on United States Treasury securities having a
ten-year maturity on the conversion date.
The units accrued to the accounts of the participating directors
under the Directors Equity Plan at September 30, 2005
are set forth in the Deferred Share Equivalent Units
column of the Beneficial Ownership of Directors and Management
table set forth in Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management.
Goodyear also sponsors a Directors Charitable Award
Program funded by life insurance policies owned by Goodyear on
the lives of pairs of directors. Goodyear donates
$1 million per director to one or more qualifying
charitable organizations recommended by each director after both
of the paired directors are deceased. Assuming current tax laws
remain in effect, Goodyear will recover the cost of the program
over time with the proceeds of the insurance policies purchased.
Directors derive no financial benefit from the program. This
program is only available to current directors. Future directors
will not be offered the program.

Represents amounts awarded under the Performance Recognition
Plan. Additional information regarding the amounts awarded to
the Named Officers and other executive officers under the
Performance Recognition Plan is set forth below under
Other Compensation Plan
Information Performance Recognition Plan. In
addition, the amount reported for Mr. Kramer in 2002
includes an award of 15,000 shares of unrestricted stock on
August 6, 2002 valued at $233,250. |
|
(2) |
These amounts represent reimbursements made to Mr. Roney
for incremental taxes resulting from his foreign assignment. |
|
(3) |
Mr. Kramer purchased 10,000 shares of Common Stock for
a purchase price of $.01 per share on August 6, 2002.
Through August 6, 2005, the shares are subject to transfer
and other restrictions and to Goodyears option to
repurchase under specified circumstances at a price of
$.01 per share. The dollar value reported ($155,400)
represents the market value of the shares at the date of grant
($15.55 per share on August 6, 2002), less the
purchase price. The restrictions and Goodyears option in
respect of all 10,000 shares of Common Stock will lapse if
Mr. Kramer continues to be a Goodyear employee through
August 5, 2005. If Mr. Kramer ceases to be an employee
prior to that date due to his death or disability, he will be
entitled to receive 277 of the shares of Common Stock for each
full month of service. Mr. Kramer receives all dividends,
if any, paid on the shares of Common Stock. The value of the
10,000 shares of Common Stock (net of the purchase price)
was $156,600 at December 31, 2004, based on a closing price
on the New York Stock Exchange of $15.67 per share on that
date. No other shares of restricted stock were granted, awarded
or issued by Goodyear to any Named Officer during 2004, 2003 or
2002. |
|
(4) |
The payouts for 2004 relate to performance equity units granted
on December 3, 2001 and August 6, 2002. Amounts earned
were determined by the extent to which the performance goals
related to the units were achieved during the three year
performance period ended December 31, 2004. Payouts are to
be made 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Common Stock. The
performance measure for 50% of each unit was based on
Goodyears average annual return on invested capital and
the other 50% was based on |
86
|
|
|
Goodyears total shareholder return relative to a peer
group consisting of the firms included in the S&P Auto
Parts & Equipment Index. Payouts ranging from 0% to
150% of the units granted could have been earned. Amounts earned
were determined based on Goodyears average annual total
shareholder return (potential payouts ranged from 30% of the
units if the total shareholder return equaled or exceeded the
30th percentile of the peer group to 75% of the units if
Goodyears total shareholder return during the relevant
performance period equaled or exceeded the 75th percentile of
the peer group) and its return on the invested capital (with
potential payouts ranging from 35% of the units if a 7.6%
average annual return were achieved to 75% of the units if a
13.6% average annual return were achieved) during the
performance period. As a result of the achievement of the target
levels during the performance period, each participant earned
89.64% of the units granted. The value of each unit, $14.63, is
based on the average of the high and low sale price of the
Common Stock on December 31, 2004. |
|
(5) |
All Other Compensation for each Named Officer in 2004 consists
of the guaranteed payout related to grants to the Named Officers

On December 9, 2004, stock options in respect of an
aggregate of 4,031,135 shares of Common Stock were granted
to 867 persons, including the Named Officers. In the case of
each Named Officer, incentive stock options were granted on
December 9, 2004 in respect of 7,800 shares. All other
shares are the subject of non-qualified stock options. Each
stock option will vest at the rate of 25% per annum. Each
unexercised stock option terminates automatically if the
optionee ceases to be an employee of Goodyear |
87
|
|
|
or one of its subsidiaries for any reason, except that
(a) upon retirement or disability of the optionee more than
six months after the grant date, the stock option will become
immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until its
expiration date, and (b) in the event of the death of the
optionee more than six months after the grant thereof, each
stock option will become exercisable and remain exercisable for
up to three years after the date of death of the optionee. Each
option also includes the right to the automatic grant of a new
option (a reinvestment option) for that number of
shares tendered in the exercise of the original stock option.
The reinvestment option will be granted on, and will have an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common
Stock on, the date of the exercise of the original stock option
and will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the
original stock option except for the exercise price and the
reinvestment option feature. The following reinvestment options
were granted during 2004: Mr. Keegan, 28,548 shares on
August 19, 2004; Mr. Harvie, 6,087 shares on
November 18, 2004; and Mr. Kramer, 2,861 shares
on November 23, 2004. |
|
(2) |
The exercise price of each stock option is equal to 100% of the
per share fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
granted. The option exercise price and/or withholding tax
obligations may be paid by delivery of shares of Common Stock
valued at the market value on the date of exercise. |
|
(3) |
The dollar amounts shown reflect calculations at the 5% and 10%
rates set by the Securities and Exchange Commission and,
therefore, are not intended to forecast possible future
appreciation, if any, of the price of the Common Stock. No
economic benefit to the optionees is possible without an
increase in price of the Common Stock, which will benefit all
shareholders commensurately. |

Represents units granted under the Executive Performance Plan.
Following the respective performance period, each unit will have
a value of between $0 to $200 depending upon the level of
achievement of the performance measures. The performance measure
for 50% of each unit is based on a cumulative target level of
net income over the performance period. The other 50% is based
on a cumulative target level of total cash flow over the
performance period. |
|
(2) |
The target amount represents the amount to be paid if the units
are paid out at a value of $100 per unit. The maximum
amount represents the amount to be paid if the units are paid
out of a value of $200 per unit. With respect to the units
with a performance period ending December 31, 2007, no
award will be paid out if the minimum target levels of net
income and cash flow are not achieved. With respect to the units
with a performance period ending December 31, 2006, the
threshold amount represents the amount guaranteed to be paid if
the Named Officer remains in the continuous employ of the
Company through the performance period. |

Other Compensation Plan Information |

|
Performance Recognition Plan |
Approximately 806 key employees, including all executive
officers of Goodyear, will participate in the Performance
Recognition Plan of Goodyear (the Performance Plan)
for plan year 2005. On December 9, 2004, the Compensation
Committee selected the participants, established their
respective target bonuses, and, on February 22, 2005,
approved the performance criteria and goals. Awards in respect
of plan year 2005 will be made in 2006 based on each
participants level of achievement of his or her goals, the
Chief Executive Officers (or, in the case of participants
who are not officers, other officers of Goodyear)
evaluation of the extent of the participants contribution
to Goodyear, and the Committees determination of the
amount available for payment to the relevant group of
participants. Awards, if any, are generally paid in cash,
although executive officers may elect to defer all or a portion
of their award in the form of cash or stock units. If deferred
in the form of stock units, the Company will match 20% of the
amount deferred. The stock units are converted to shares of
common stock and paid to the participant on the first business
day of the third year following the end of the plan year under
which the award was earned. Target bonuses under the Performance
Plan have been established for calendar year 2005 as follows:
Mr. Keegan, $1,500,000; Mr. Rich, $385,000;
Mr. Harvie, $290,000; Mr. Kramer, $330,000; and
Mr. Roney, $361,000 and all participants (806 persons as a
group), approximately $27.8 million.

|
|
|
Executive Performance Plan |
On December 1, 2003, the Compensation Committee established
the Executive Performance Plan (the EP Plan). The
purpose of the EP Plan is to provide long-term incentive
compensation opportunities to attract, retain and reward key
personnel and to motivate key personnel to achieve business
objectives. Upon the attainment of performance goals established
by the Committee, participants will be eligible to receive a
cash award at the end of the performance period subject to
adjustment and approval by the Committee. Grants under the EP
Plan have a three year performance period and payment on each
unit may range between $0 and $200, depending upon the
attainment of the performance criteria and assuming the
recipient remains in the continuous employ of the Company
through the performance period. The performance criteria for the
performance period is based 50% on net income and 50% on total
cash flow.
In 2004, an aggregate of 326,100 units were granted to
executive officers and key employees under the EP Plan. As
a result of retention considerations, 172,900 units granted
under the EP Plan in 2004 are subject to a guaranteed minimum
payout of between $25 and $50 per unit. These grants are
payable in 2007 based on a performance period ending
December 31, 2006. The remaining units granted do not have
a guaranteed minimum payout and are payable in 2008 based on a
performance period ending December 31, 2007.
Goodyear sponsors the Employee Savings Plan for Salaried
Employees (the Savings Plan). An eligible employee,
including officers, may contribute 1% to 50% of his or her
compensation to the Savings Plan, subject to an annual
contribution ceiling ($14,000 in 2005). Savings Plan
participants who are age 50 or older and contributing at
the maximum plan limits or at the annual contribution ceiling
are entitled to make catch-up contributions annually
up to a specified amount ($4,000 in 2005). Contributions to the
Savings Plan are not included in the current taxable income of
the employee pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Employee contributions are
invested, at the direction of the participant, in any one or
more of the nine available funds and/or in mutual funds under a
self directed account. Prior to January 1, 2003, Goodyear
matched at a 50% rate each dollar contributed by a participating
employee up to a maximum of the lesser of (i) 6% of the
participants annual compensation or (ii) legally
imposed limits. Goodyear contributions were invested by the
Savings Plan trustee in shares of Common Stock. Goodyear
suspended the matching program effective January 1, 2003.
Eligible employees hired after January 1, 2005 will not
participate in the pension plan described below, but will
receive company contributions to their Savings Plan accounts in
an amount equal to 5% of compensation up to the Social Security
wage base ($90,000 in 2005), plus 11.2% of compensation in
excess of the wage base. The maximum company contribution for
any individual in 2005 is $17,940.
The Goodyear Employee Severance Plan (the Severance
Plan), adopted on February 14, 1989, provides that,
if a full-time salaried employee of Goodyear or any of the
domestic subsidiaries (who participates in the Salaried Pension
Plan) with at least one year of service is involuntarily
terminated (as defined in the Severance Plan) within two years
following a change in control, the employee is entitled to
severance pay, either in a lump sum or, at the employees
election, on a regular salary payroll interval basis.
The severance pay will equal the sum of (a) two weeks
pay for each full year of service with Goodyear and its
subsidiaries and (b) one months pay for each $12,000
of total annual compensation (the base salary rate in effect at
the date of termination, plus all incentive compensation
received during the twelve months prior to his or her
separation). Severance pay may not exceed two times the
employees total annual compensation.
In addition, medical benefits and basic life insurance coverage
will be provided to each employee on the same basis as in effect
prior to his or her separation for a period of weeks equal to
the number of weeks of severance pay. A change in control is
deemed to occur upon the acquisition of 35% or more of the Common
90
Stock by any acquiring person or any change in the
composition of the Board of Directors of Goodyear with the
effect that a majority of the directors are not continuing
directors.
If the Named Officers had been involuntarily terminated as of
December 31, 2004 (following a change in control), the
amount of severance pay due would have been: Mr. Keegan,
$3,118,400; Mr. Rich, $966,952; Mr. Harvie,
$1,212,000; Mr. Kramer, $970,992; and Mr. Roney,
$1,070,000.
The Company also follows general guidelines for providing
severance benefits to executive officers of the Company whose
employment terminates prior to retirement, and under appropriate
circumstances. Executive officers eligible for such benefits
typically receive a separation allowance based on individual
circumstances, including length of service, in an amount
generally equivalent to 6 to 18 months of base salary plus
an amount based on the individuals target bonus then in
effect over an equivalent period. The separation allowance may
be paid in a single lump sum or in installments. The Company may
also provide limited outplacement and personal financial
planning services to eligible executive officers following their
termination.
|
|
|
Deferred Compensation Plan |
Goodyears Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives
provides that an eligible employee may elect to defer all or a
portion of his or her Performance Plan award and/or annual
salary by making a timely deferral election. Several deferral
period options are available. All amounts deferred earn amounts
equivalent to the returns on one or more of five reference
investment funds, as selected by the participant. The plan was
amended in 2002 to eliminate a provision that required the
automatic deferral of any cash compensation earned which, if
paid as and when due, would not be deductible by Goodyear for
federal income tax purposes by reason of Section 162(m) of
the Code.
Goodyear maintains a Salaried Pension Plan (the Pension
Plan), a defined benefit plan qualified under the Code, in
which many salaried employees, including most executive
officers, hired prior to January 1, 2005 participate. The
Pension Plan permits any eligible employee to make monthly
optional contributions of 1% of the first $45,000 of
compensation and 2% on compensation between $45,000 and $210,000
in 2005. The Code limits the maximum amount of earnings that may
be used in calculating benefits under the Pension Plan, which
limit is $210,000 for 2005. The Pension Plan provides benefits
to participants who have at least five years of service
upon any termination of employment. Under the Pension Plan,
benefits payable to a participant who retires prior to
age 65 are subject to a reduction for each full month of
retirement before age 65.
Goodyear also maintains a Supplementary Pension Plan (the
Supplementary Plan), a non-qualified plan partially
funded by a Rabbi Trust which provides additional retirement
benefits to certain officers. The Supplementary Plan provides
pension benefits to participants who have at least 30 years
of service or have ten years of service and are age 55
or older. Under the Supplementary Plan, benefits payable to a
participant who retires prior to age 62 are subject to a
reduction for each month of retirement before age 62.
Participants may elect a lump sum payment of benefits under the
Pension Plan and the Supplementary Plan (the Pension
Plans) for benefits accrued prior to January 1, 2005,
subject to the approval of the Companys ERISA appeals
committee in respect of benefits under the Supplementary Plan.
For benefits accrued after January 1, 2005, a lump sum will
be the default form of payment; however, these benefits cannot
be distributed prior to six months after separation of service.
The table below shows estimated annual benefits payable at
selected earnings levels under the Pension Plans assuming
retirement on July 1, 2005 at age 65 after selected
periods of service. The amounts shown in the table include the
estimated benefits provided under both the Pension Plan and the
Supplementary Plan.
The pension benefit amounts shown include the maximum benefits
obtainable and assume payments are made on a five year certain
and life annuity basis and are not subject to any deduction for
social security or any other offsets. Pension benefits are based
on the retirees highest average annual earnings,
consisting of salary and cash payments under the Performance
Recognition Plan, for any five calendar years out of the ten
years
91
immediately preceding his or her retirement (assuming full
participation in the contributory feature of the Pension Plan).
Earnings covered by the Pension Plans are substantially
equivalent to the sum of the amounts set forth under the
Salary and Bonus columns of the Summary
Compensation Table set forth below under
Summary of Compensation. The years of
credited service used to determine the amounts in the table for
the Named Officers are: Mr. Keegan, 33 years;
Mr. Rich, 4 years; Mr. Harvie, 29 years;
Mr. Kramer, 4 years; and Mr. Roney,

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation
During fiscal year 2004, the Compensation Committee consisted of
the following directors: John G. Breen (chair), James C. Boland,
Gary D. Forsee and William J. Hudson, Jr. None of our
executive officers serves as a member of the compensation
committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of
any other entity that has one or more of its executive officers
serving as a member of our board of directors or compensation
committee. None of the members of our compensation committee has
ever been our employee.
Employment Agreement
Mr. Keegan and Goodyear entered into an agreement, dated
September 11, 2000, which provided, among other things, for
the employment of Mr. Keegan as President and Chief
Operating Officer.
As contemplated by the agreement, on December 4, 2000,
Mr. Keegan was granted stock options for 80,000 shares
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $17.68 per share
and on December 5, 2000 he was awarded performance unit
grants for 12,000 units for the performance period ending
December 31, 2001, for 24,000 units for the
performance period ending December 31, 2002, and for
36,000 units for the performance period ending
December 31, 2003.
In accordance with the agreement and under the 1997 Plan,
Mr. Keegan entered into a Restricted Stock Purchase
Agreement dated October 3, 2000, pursuant to which he
purchased 50,000 shares of the Common Stock for
$.01 per share, which shares could not be transferred by
Mr. Keegan prior to October 3, 2002 and were subject
to a repurchase option whereby Goodyear could have repurchased
all or a portion of such shares at $.01 per share through
October 3, 2002 if Mr. Keegan ceased to be employed by
Goodyear for any reason (other than his death or disability)
prior to October 3, 2002. On October 3, 2002
Goodyears conditional repurchase option expired and all
other restrictions on transfer lapsed.
92
Mr. Keegan will also receive a total pension benefit equal
to what he would have earned under the Pension Plans if his
service with Goodyear were equal to the total of his service
with Goodyear and Eastman Kodak Company. He also receives the
same non-salary benefits generally made available to Goodyear
executive officers.
Mr. Keegans agreement was supplemented on
February 3, 2004 to provide for the payment of severance
compensation to Mr. Keegan upon the termination of his
employment with Goodyear under the circumstances outlined in the
supplemental agreement. If paid, the severance compensation
would consist of (i) two times the sum of
Mr. Keegans annual base salary and target bonus then
in effect, plus (ii) the pro rata portion of
Mr. Keegans target bonus for the then current fiscal
year. In the event that severance compensation is paid to
Mr. Keegan under the agreement, the agreement restricts
Mr. Keegan from participating in any business that competes
with Goodyear for a period of two years. The term of the
supplemental agreement is from February 3, 2004 to
February 28, 2009. If Mr. Keegans employment was
terminated as of December 31, 2004 and the supplemental
agreement was in effect at that time, the amount of severance
due Mr. Keegan would have been $6,000,000. This amount
would not be payable if Mr. Keegan received benefits under
the previously described Severance Plan.

Selling Security Holders
We originally issued the notes to Goldman, Sachs & Co.,
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and, J.P. Morgan Securities
Inc. as initial purchasers in a transaction exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. The initial
purchasers resold the notes in transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance on
Rule 144A under the Securities Act to persons reasonably
believed by them to be qualified institutional buyers.
The selling security holders identified below, including their
transferees, pledgees, donees and successors, may from time to
time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus or a supplement
hereto any or all of the notes of such selling security holder
described below and the common stock into which such notes are
convertible. Any selling security holder may also elect not to
sell any notes or common stock issuable upon conversion of the
notes held by it. Certain selling security holders identified
below may already have sold, transferred or disposed of all or a
portion of their notes or shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the notes since the date on which they provided
the information regarding their ownership of those securities
included in this prospectus and other selling security holders
identified below may have purchased such notes or shares of
common stock issuable upon conversion of such notes. Only those
notes and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the
notes listed below or in any supplement hereto may be offered
for resale by the selling holders pursuant to this prospectus.
The following table sets forth recent information with respect
to the selling security holders of the notes and the number of
notes beneficially owned by each selling security holder that
may be offered pursuant to this prospectus. We prepared this
table based on information supplied to us by or on behalf of the
selling holders. Because the selling security holders may offer
all or only some portion of the notes or the common stock listed
in the table, no estimate can be given as to the amount of those
securities that will be held by the selling holders upon
termination of any sales.

To our knowledge, other than their ownership of the securities
described in the above table, none of the selling holders has,
or has had within the past three years, any position, office or
other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates,
except that Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman, Sachs
& Co. were initial purchasers of the notes, Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. was a placement agent for our 11% Senior Secured
Notes and Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2011 and
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. were
initial purchasers of our 9.00% Senior Notes due 2015. In
addition, in the ordinary course of business, the
above-referenced entities and their affiliates have provided,
and may in the future provide, investment banking, commercial
banking, cash management, foreign exchange or other financial
services to Goodyear and its affiliates for which they have
received customary compensation and may receive customary
compensation in the future. Affiliates of certain of the
above-referenced entities are lenders under certain of the
Companys credit facilities.
100
Plan of Distribution
The notes and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the
notes may be offered and sold from time to time to purchasers
directly by the selling security holders. Alternatively, the
selling security holders may from time to time offer those
securities to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents,
who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting
discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling holders
or the purchasers of the securities for whom they act as agents.
The selling security holders and any underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of
the securities may be deemed to be underwriters
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the
sale of securities and any discounts, commissions, concessions
or other compensation received by any underwriter, broker-dealer
or agent may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under the Securities Act.
The securities may be sold from time to time in one or more
transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the
time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale
or at negotiated prices. The sale of the securities may be
effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block
transactions:
|
|
|
|
|
on any national securities exchange or quotation service on
which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
in the over-the-counter market; |
|
|
|
in transactions otherwise than on exchanges or in the
over-the-counter market; |
|
|
|
through the writing and exercise of options; or |
|
|
|
through the settlement of short sales. |
In connection with the sale of the notes and the underlying
common stock or otherwise, the selling security holders may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions. These broker-dealers or financial
institutions may in turn engage in short sales of the common
stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with
selling security holders. The selling security holders may also
sell the notes and the underlying common stock short and deliver
these securities to close out such short positions, or loan or
pledge the notes or the underlying common stock short and
deliver these securities to close out such short positions, or
loan or pledge the notes or the underlying common stock to
broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.
At the time a particular offering of the securities is made, if
required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed, which
will set forth the names of the selling security holders, the
aggregate amount and type of securities being offered and the
terms of the offering, including the name or names of any
underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, any discounts,
commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the
selling security holders and any discounts, commissions or
concessions allowed or reallowed to paid broker-dealers.
To comply with the securities laws of some jurisdictions, if
applicable, the securities will be offered or sold in some
jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. In addition, in some jurisdictions the securities may
not be offered or sold unless they have been registered or
qualified for sale in those jurisdictions or any exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
The selling security holders and any other person participating
in the distribution of securities will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Securities Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations under the Securities Exchange Act, including,
without limitation, Regulation M of the Securities Exchange
Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of
the offered securities by the selling security holders and any
other person. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the
ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the offered
securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to
the particular offered securities being distributed. Compliance
with the Securities Exchange Act, as described in this
paragraph, may affect the marketability of the offered
securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage
with respect to the offered securities.
101
Broker-dealers or agents who participate in the sale of the
notes and the underlying common stock will be deemed to be
underwriters within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. The following selling
security holders are underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act: Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank
Securities, Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and McMahon
Securities Co., L.P. None of the selling security holders who
are affiliates of broker-dealers, other than the initial
purchasers, purchased the securities outside of the ordinary
course of business or, at the time of the purchase of the
securities, had any agreements, plans or understandings,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the
securities.
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, we have borne all
fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration
of the notes and the common stock issuable upon conversion of
the notes, except that selling security holders will pay all
brokers commissions and underwriting discounts and
commissions, if any, in connection with any sales effected
pursuant to this prospectus. The registration rights agreement
provides that we will indemnify the selling security holders
against some civil liabilities, including some liabilities under
the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act or otherwise,
or alternatively the selling security holders will be entitled
to contribution in connection with those liabilities.
102
Description of the Notes
The notes were issued under an indenture dated as of
July 2, 2004, between us and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as
trustee, which we refer to in this prospectus as the indenture.
The notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the notes are covered by a registration rights
agreement. You may request a copy of the indenture and the
registration rights agreement from the trustee.
The following description is a summary of the material
provisions of the notes and the indenture and does not purport
to be complete. This summary is subject to and is qualified by
reference to all the provisions of the notes and the indenture,
including the definitions of certain terms used in the
indenture. Wherever particular provisions or defined terms of
the indenture or form of note are referred to, these provisions
or defined terms are incorporated in this prospectus by
reference. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not
this description, defines your rights as a holder of the notes.
For purposes of this description, references to the
Company, Goodyear, we,
our and us refer only to The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company and not to any of its
subsidiaries.
General
The Notes:
|
|
|
|
|
are general unsecured obligations of Goodyear and rank equally
in right of payment with all of our other existing and future
unsubordinated unsecured debt and prior to all of our
subordinated debt; |
|
|
|
are issued in an aggregate principal amount of $350 million; |
|
|
|
will mature on June 15, 2034, unless earlier converted,
purchased by us (whether at your option or upon a designated
event (as defined below)) or redeemed; |
|
|
|
accrue interest at a rate of 4.00% per year payable in cash
on each June 15 and December 15, beginning
December 15, 2004; |
|
|
|
were issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000; |
|
|
|
are represented by one or more registered notes in global form,
but in certain limited circumstances may be represented by notes
in definitive form; |
|
|
|
are redeemable by us for cash, at our option, in whole or in
part beginning on June 20, 2008 at the redemption prices
set forth below under Optional
Redemption, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including
liquidated damages, if any) to but excluding the redemption date; |
|
|
|
are subject to repurchase by us for cash at the option of the
holder on June 15 of 2011, 2014, 2019, 2024 and 2029, or upon a
designated event; and |
|
|
|
in the case of certain designated events, will entitle holders
to a make whole premium upon the repurchase of notes as
described below under Designated Event Permits
Holders to Require Us to Purchase Notes and upon the
conversion of notes as described below under
Conversion in Connection with a Fundamental
Change. |
You have the option, subject to fulfillment of certain
conditions and during the periods described below, to convert
your notes into our common stock initially at a conversion rate
of 83.0703 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal
amount of notes (subject to adjustment as described below). This
conversion rate is equivalent to an initial conversion price of
approximately $12.04 per share of common stock. Upon
conversion of a note, you will receive only shares of our common
stock and a cash payment to account for fractional shares. In
lieu of delivering common stock upon conversion of all or any
portion of the notes, we may elect to pay holders surrendering
notes for conversion cash or any combination of cash and common
stock as described herein. See Conversion
Rights.
If any interest payment date, maturity date, redemption date,
purchase date or repurchase date (including upon the occurrence
of a designated event as described below) falls on a day that is
not a business
103
day, the required payment of principal, premium (if any) and
interest will be made on the next succeeding business day with
the same force and effect as if made on the date that the
payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for
the period from and after the interest payment date, maturity
date, redemption date, purchase date or repurchase date
(including upon the occurrence of a designated event as
described below), as the case may be, to that next succeeding
business day. The term business day means, with
respect to any note, any day other than Saturday, Sunday or
other day on which banking institutions are not required by law
or regulation to be open in the State of New York.
We are not subject to any financial covenants under the
indenture. In addition, we are not restricted under the
indenture from paying dividends, incurring debt, securing our
debt or issuing or repurchasing our securities.
You are not afforded protection in the event of a highly
leveraged transaction, or a change of control of us under the
indenture, except to the extent described below under the
caption Designated Event Permits Holders to
Require Us to Purchase Notes and
Conversion in Connection with a Fundamental
Change.
We do not intend to list the notes for trading on any national
security exchange or on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
When we refer to common stock, we mean the common
stock, without par value, of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company.
Additional Notes
We may, without the consent of the holders of the notes,
increase the principal amount of the notes by issuing additional
notes in the future on the same terms and conditions, except for
any differences in the issue price and the interest accrued
prior to the issue date of the additional notes. Any such
additional notes will be fungible with the notes offered hereby
and will have the same CUSIP numbers as the notes offered
hereby. The notes offered by this prospectus and any additional
notes would rank equally and ratably and would be treated as a
single class for all purposes under the indenture, including
with respect to waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to
purchase. No additional notes may be issued if any event of
default has occurred with respect to the notes.
Ranking
The notes are our general unsecured obligations and rank senior
in right of payment to all existing and future debt that is
expressly subordinated in right of payment to the notes. The
notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing
and future liabilities that are not so subordinated. The notes
effectively rank junior to any of our secured indebtedness to
the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness. In the
event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other
winding up, our assets that secure debt will be available to pay
obligations from the notes only after all debt secured by such
assets has been repaid in full from such assets. We advise you
that there may not be sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts
due on any or all the notes then outstanding.
The indenture under which the notes were issued does not limit
us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness.
As of September 30, 2005, we had approximately
$4.5 billion of indebtedness (including capital leases)
outstanding, of which $2.3 billion was senior secured
indebtedness. None of our subsidiaries will guarantee our
obligations under the notes. As such, the notes are structurally
subordinated to all liabilities of our subsidiaries, which are
distinct legal entities having no legal obligation to pay any
amounts pursuant to the notes or to make funds available
therefor. At September 30, 2005, the total subsidiary
liabilities, including guarantees of our indebtedness, was
approximately $8.0 billion, which would effectively rank
senior to the notes.
104
Interest
The notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum from
the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for on the unregistered notes, and any
accrued and unpaid interest (including liquidated damages, if
any) will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and
December 15 of each year. Interest will be paid to the person in
whose name a note is registered at the close of business on the
June 1 or December 1 (any of which we refer to as a
record date) immediately preceding the relevant
interest payment date. However, in the case of a note redeemed
by us at our option or repurchased upon the occurrence of a
designated event, as described below, during the period from the
applicable record date to, but excluding, the next succeeding
interest payment date, accrued interest (including liquidated
damages, if any) will be payable to the holder of the note
redeemed or repurchased, and we will not be required to pay
interest on such interest payment date in respect of any such
note (or portion thereof). Interest is be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the
case of an incomplete month, the actual number of days elapsed.
Interest payments for the notes include accrued interest from
and including the date of issue or from and including the last
date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may
be, to, but excluding the related interest payment date or date
of maturity, as the case may be.
Conversion Rights
Subject to the conditions and during the periods described
below, prior to the close of business on the maturity date of
the notes (subject to prior redemption or repayment), you may
convert all or some of your notes into shares of our common
stock initially at a conversion rate of 83.0703 shares of
common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is
equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately
$12.04 per share of common stock. The conversion rate in
effect at any given time will be subject to adjustment as
described below. A note for which a holder has delivered a
purchase notice or a notice requiring us to repurchase such note
upon a designated event may be surrendered for conversion only
if such notice is withdrawn three business days prior to the
repurchase date and in accordance with the indenture. You may
convert fewer than all of your notes so long as the notes
converted are an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.
Upon conversion, you will not receive any payment of interest
(including liquidated damages, if any) unless such conversion
occurs between a regular record date and the interest payment
date to which it relates and you were the record holder on such
record date, or unless included in the payment of a make whole
premium (if any). We will not issue fractional shares of common
stock upon conversion of notes. Instead, we will pay cash in
lieu of fractional shares. Our delivery to you of the full
number of shares of our common stock into which a note is
convertible, or cash or a combination of cash and shares of
common stock, including any cash payment for any fractional
share, will be deemed to satisfy our obligation to pay:
|
|
|
|
|
the principal amount of the note; and |
|
|
|
all accrued but unpaid interest (including liquidated damages,
if any). |
As a result, accrued but unpaid interest (including liquidated
damages, if any) will be deemed to be paid in full rather than
cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. For a discussion of the
tax treatment to you of receiving our common stock upon
conversion. See Certain United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations.
Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, if notes are converted
after the close of business on a record date but prior to the
opening of business on the next succeeding interest payment
date, holders of such notes at the close of business on the
record date will receive the interest (including liquidated
damages, if any) payable on such notes on the corresponding
interest payment date notwithstanding the conversion. Such
notes, upon surrender for conversion, must be accompanied by
funds equal to the amount of interest (including liquidated
damages, if any) payable on the notes so converted; provided
that no such payment need be made (1) if we have specified
a redemption date that is after a record date and on or prior to
the next interest payment date, (2) if we have specified a
designated event repurchase date that is after a record date and
on or prior to the
105
next interest payment date, or (3) to the extent of any
overdue interest (including liquidated damages, if any) if any
overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect
to such note.
In the event any holder exercises its right to require us to
purchase any notes on any purchase date, such holders
conversion right with respect to such notes will terminate on
the close of business on the relevant purchase date, unless we
default on the payment due upon purchase of such notes or the
holder elects to withdraw the submission of election to have
such notes purchased. See Purchase of Notes by
Us at the Option of the Holders. In the event any holder
exercises its right to require us to repurchase any notes upon a
designated event, such holders conversion right with
respect to such notes will terminate on the close of business on
the designated event purchase date, unless we default on the
payment due upon repurchase of such notes or the holder elects
to withdraw the submission of election to have such notes
repurchased. See Designated Event Permits
Holders to Require Us to Purchase Notes.
To convert your note into common stock you must do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
complete and manually sign the conversion notice on the back of
the note, or a facsimile of the conversion notice, and deliver
this irrevocable notice to the conversion agent; |
|
|
|
surrender the note to the conversion agent; |
|
|
|
if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents; |
|
|
|
if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes; and |
|
|
|
if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next
interest payment date. |
The conversion date will be the date on which the note, the duly
signed and completed notice of conversion, and any funds that
may be required as described above shall have been so delivered.
If your interest is a beneficial interest in a global note, to
convert you must comply with the last three requirements listed
above and comply with the depositarys procedures for
converting a beneficial interest in a global note. The note will
be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close
of business on the conversion date. A holder delivering a note
for conversion will not be required to pay any taxes or duties
payable in respect of the issue or delivery of common stock on
conversion, but will be required to pay any tax or duty which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue
or delivery of the common stock in a name other than the holder
of the note. Certificates representing shares of common stock
will not be issued or delivered unless all taxes and duties, if
any, payable by the holder have been paid.
Except as described below under Conversion in
Connection with a Fundamental Change, if you surrender
your notes for conversion, we will have the right to deliver
cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and
shares of our common stock. We will inform the holders through
the trustee no later than two trading days following the
conversion date of our election to deliver shares of common
stock or to pay cash in lieu of delivery of shares of common,
unless we have already informed holders of our election in
connection with our optional redemption of the notes as
described below under Optional
Redemption. If we elect to deliver all of such payment in
shares of common stock, the shares of common stock will be
delivered through the trustee no later than the fifth trading
day following the conversion date. If we elect to pay all or a
portion of such payment in cash, the payment, including any
delivery of shares of common stock, will be made to holders
surrendering notes no later than the 15th trading day following
the conversion date. If an event of default, as described below
under Events of Default and Remedies
(other than a default in a cash payment upon conversion of the
notes) has occurred and is continuing, we may not pay cash upon
conversion of any notes (other than cash in lieu of fractional
shares).
If we elect to satisfy the entire conversion obligation with
shares of our common stock, we will deliver to the holders a
number of shares equal to (1) the aggregate principal
amount of notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by
(2) the applicable conversion rate.
106
If we elect to satisfy the entire conversion obligation in cash,
we will deliver to the holders cash in an amount equal to the
product of:
|
|
|
|
|
a number equal to (1) the aggregate principal amount of
notes to be converted divided by $1,000 multiplied by
(2) the applicable conversion rate, and |
|
|
|
the average of the last reported sale prices (as defined below)
of our common stock for the ten consecutive trading days
beginning on the third day after the conversion date (the
cash settlement averaging period). |
If we elect to satisfy a fixed amount (but not all) of the
conversion obligation per $1,000 principal amount of notes in
cash, we will deliver to you (x) such fixed amount per
$1,000 principal amount of notes (the cash amount)
and (y) a number of shares of our common stock per $1,000
principal amount of notes equal to the sum, for each trading day
of the cash settlement averaging period, of the greater of:
|
|
|
|
|
zero; and |
|
|
|
a number of shares determined by the following formula: |
(last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading
day X applicable conversion rate) the cash amount
last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day
X number of trading days in the cash settlement averaging period
We are not required to issue fractional shares of common stock
upon conversion of notes and, in each case, in lieu of such
fractional shares, we will pay a cash adjustment based upon the
last reported sale price of our common stock during the trading
day immediately preceding the conversion date.
Our ability to pay holders cash in lieu of shares of common
stock upon a conversion of the notes is prohibited under our
existing credit facilities (the latest of which currently
expires in March 2006) and may be prohibited or limited in the
future by the terms of our borrowing agreements in effect from
time to time. At any time prior to maturity, we may at our
option elect, by notice to the trustee and the holders of the
notes, that upon conversion of the notes at any time following
the date of such notice, we shall be required to deliver cash in
an amount at least equal to the principal amount of the notes
converted. If we make this election, we will also be required to
deliver cash only in connection with any principal value
conversion pursuant to the trading price condition.
Conversion upon Satisfaction of Sale Price Condition
You may surrender your notes for conversion into our common
stock: (1) on any business day in any fiscal quarter
commencing prior to the maturity date of the notes (and only
during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of
our common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period
of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the eleventh trading
day of such fiscal quarter is greater than 120% of the
applicable conversion price per share of our common stock on
such eleventh trading day (initially 120% of $12.04, or $14.45,
which we refer to as the conversion trigger price) and
(2) on any business day after June 15, 2029 (through
the business day immediately prior to the maturity of the notes)
if the last reported sale price of our common stock on any
trading date after June 15, 2029 is greater than 120% of
the applicable conversion trigger price. Upon surrender of notes
for conversion, we will have the right to deliver, at our
option, shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of
cash and shares of our common stock.
The last reported sale price of our common stock on
any date means the closing sale price per share (or if no
closing sale price is reported, the average of the last reported
bid and asked prices or, if more than one in either case, the
average of the average bid and the average asked prices) on that
date as reported in composite transactions for the principal
United States securities exchange on which our common stock is
traded or, if our common stock is not listed on a United States
national or regional securities exchange, as reported by the
Nasdaq National Market. If our common stock is not listed for
trading on a United States national or regional securities
exchange and not reported by the Nasdaq National Market on the
relevant date, the last reported
107
sale price will be the last quoted bid price for our
common stock in the over-the-counter market on the relevant date
as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated or
similar organization. If our common stock is not so quoted, we
will determine the last reported sale price on the
basis we consider appropriate.
Conversion Based on Trading Price of the Notes
You also may surrender your notes for conversion during the five
consecutive business day period following any five consecutive
trading day period in which the trading price per
$1,000 principal amount of notes for each day of that trading
period, as determined following a request by a holder of notes
in accordance with the procedures described below, was less than
98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common
stock on such corresponding trading day and the applicable
conversion rate (the trading price condition). Upon
surrender of notes for conversion, we will have the right to
deliver, at our option, shares of our common stock, cash or a
combination of cash and shares of our common stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if, on the date of any
conversion pursuant to the trading price condition that is on or
after June 15, 2029, the last reported sale price of our
common stock on the trading day before the conversion date is
greater than 100% but less than 120% of the conversion price,
then holders surrendering notes for conversion will receive, in
lieu of shares of our common stock (or cash or a combination of
cash and shares of our common stock) based on the then
applicable conversion rate, an amount in cash or common stock or
a combination of cash and common stock, at our option, with a
value equal to the principal amount of the notes being
converted, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including
liquidated damages, if any), as of the conversion date (a
principal value conversion). Any common stock
delivered upon a principal value conversion will be valued at
the greater of the conversion price on the conversion date and
the average of the last reported sale price of our common stock
for a five trading day period starting on the third trading day
following the conversion date of the notes.
The trading price of the notes on any date of
determination means the average of the secondary market bid
quotations per $1,000 principal amount of notes obtained by the
trustee (or another conversion agent obtained by us) for
$2,000,000 principal amount of the notes at approximately
3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such determination date
from three independent nationally recognized securities dealers
we select, which may include one or more of the initial
purchasers, provided that if at least three such bids cannot be
reasonably obtained by the trustee (or another conversion agent
obtained by us), but two such bids are obtained by the trustee
(or another conversion agent obtained by us), then the average
of the two bids shall be used, and if only one bid can be
reasonably obtained by the trustee (or another conversion agent
obtained by us), such one bid shall be used. If the trustee (or
another conversion agent obtained by us) cannot reasonably
obtain at least one bid for $2,000,000 principal amount of the
notes from an independent nationally recognized securities
dealer on any date, or in our reasonable judgment, the bid
quotations are not indicative of the secondary market value of
the notes on such date, then the trading price of the notes on
such date will be deemed to be less than 98% of (a) the
last reported sale price of our common stock on such date
multiplied by (b) the conversion rate of the notes on the
date of determination.
In connection with any conversion upon satisfaction of the above
trading price condition, the trustee (or other conversion agent
appointed by us) shall have no obligation to determine the
trading price of the notes unless we have requested such
determination. We will have no obligation to make that request
unless a holder of notes provides us with reasonable evidence
that the trading price of the notes may be less than 98% of the
last reported sale price of our common stock multiplied by the
applicable conversion rate. At such time, we shall instruct the
trustee or conversion agent, as the case may be, to determine
the trading price of the notes beginning on the next trading day
and on each successive trading day until, and only until, the
trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes on a trading
day is greater than or equal to 98% of the average last reported
sale prices of our common stock multiplied by the applicable
conversion rate.
108
Conversion upon Notice of Redemption
If we call any or all of the notes for redemption, you may
surrender any of your notes that have been called for redemption
for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the
second business day prior to the redemption date; provided that
if we elect to redeem less than all of the notes, only those
notes called for redemption may be converted. Upon surrender of
notes for conversion after a redemption call, we will have the
right to deliver, at our option, shares of our common stock,
cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. We
will give notice of our election to pay cash in lieu of common
stock in the notice of redemption.
Conversion upon Specified Corporate Transactions
If we elect to:
|
|
|
|
|
distribute to all holders of our common stock certain rights
entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within
60 days after the date of the distribution, shares of our
common stock at less than the last reported sale price of a
share of our common stock on the trading day immediately
preceding the declaration date of the distribution; or |
|
|
|
distribute to all holders of our common stock, assets (including
cash), debt securities or rights to purchase our securities,
which distribution has a per share value as determined by our
board of directors exceeding 5% of the last reported sale price
of our common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the
declaration date for such distribution, |
we must notify holders of the notes at least 20 business days
prior to the ex-dividend date for such distribution. Once we
have given such notice, holders may surrender their notes for
conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of
business on the business day immediately prior to the
ex-dividend date or any announcement that such distribution will
not take place. No holder may exercise this right to convert if
the holder otherwise will participate in the distribution
without conversion. The ex-dividend date is the first date upon
which a sale of the common stock does not automatically transfer
the right to receive the relevant distribution from the seller
of the common stock to its buyer. If the distribution does not
take place, no notes surrendered for conversion will be
converted.
Conversion in Connection with a Fundamental Change
We must give notice to all record holders and to the trustee at
least 10 trading days prior to the anticipated effective date of
a fundamental change (as defined below). We must also give
notice to all record holders and to the trustee that such
fundamental change has become effective within the five trading
day period after the date such fundamental change becomes
effective. You may surrender your notes for conversion at any
time during the period from the opening of business on the date
we give notice of the anticipated effective date of the
fundamental change to the close of business on the 10th trading
day from and including the date of our notice (the
effective date notice) that such fundamental change
has become effective, or, if later, the related repurchase date,
if any, for that fundamental change.
If you convert your notes in connection with a fundamental
change, you will receive
|
|
|
|
|
if you are entitled to the make whole premium, an amount
determined as set forth below under
Determination of the Make Whole Premium
which will be payable on the repurchase date for the notes after
a certain fundamental change as described under
Designated Event Permits Holders to Require Us
to Purchase Notes and an amount equal to any accrued but
unpaid cash interest to, but excluding, the conversion date,
which interest will be payable in cash; plus |
|
|
|
the number of shares of our common stock (or cash or a
combination of cash and common stock, as described above) into
which your notes are convertible (if you surrender your notes
for conversion prior to the record date for receiving
distributions in connection with the fundamental change or, if
earlier, the effective time of the fundamental change) or the
kind and amount of cash, securities and other assets or property
which you would have received if you had held the number of
shares of our common |
109
|
|
|
|
|
stock into which your notes were convertible immediately prior
to the transaction (if you surrender your notes for conversion
after such record date or effective time, as the case may be). |
Conversion Rate Adjustments
The conversion rate (as well as the stock price (as defined
below) used to determine the make whole premium described under
Determination of the Make Whole Premium)
will be adjusted as described below, except that we will not
make any adjustments to the conversion rate (or the stock price
used to determine the make whole premium) if holders of the
notes participate in any of the transactions described below.
(1) If we issue shares of our common stock as a dividend or
distribution on our common stock, or if we effect a stock split
or stock combination, the conversion rate will be adjusted based
on the following formula:

(2) If we issue to all or substantially all holders of our
common stock any rights, warrants or options entitling them for
a period of not more than 60 days to subscribe for or
purchase shares of our common stock, or securities convertible
into shares of our common stock, at a price per share or a
conversion price per share less than the last reported sale
price of our common stock on the trading day immediately
preceding the day on which such issuance is announced, the
conversion rate will be adjusted based on the following formula
(provided that the conversion rate will be readjusted to the

prior to their expiration):

(3) If we distribute shares of our capital stock, evidences
of our indebtedness or other assets or property of ours to all
or substantially all holders of our common stock, excluding:

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (3)
where there has been a payment of a dividend or other
distribution on our common stock or shares of capital stock of
any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating
to a subsidiary or other business unit, which we refer to as a

(5) If we or any of our subsidiaries purchase shares of our
common stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer which
involves an aggregate consideration that exceeds the last
reported sale price of our common stock on the trading day next

made pursuant to the tender offer or exchange offer, the
conversion rate will be increased based on the following formula:

|

the average of the last reported sale prices of our common stock
for the ten consecutive trading days commencing on the trading
day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer
expires |
If, however, the application of the foregoing formula would
result in a decrease in the conversion rate, no adjustment to
the conversion rate will be made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an adjustment
pursuant to clauses (4) or (5) above, in no event will
the conversion rate exceed 107.9914, subject to adjustment
pursuant to clauses (1), (2) and (3) above.
To the extent that we adopt any stockholder rights plan, upon
conversion of the notes into our common stock, you will receive,
in addition to our common stock, the rights under the rights
plan unless the rights have separated from our common stock at
the time of conversion, in which case the conversion rate will
be adjusted as if we distributed to all holders of our common
stock, shares of our capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or
assets or property as described above, subject to readjustment
in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of
such rights.
No adjustment to the conversion rate or the ability of a holder
of a note to convert will be made if the holder will otherwise
participate in the distribution without conversion solely as a
holder of a note.
Except as stated herein, we will not adjust the conversion rate
for the issuance of our common stock or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or the
right to purchase our common stock or such convertible or
exchangeable securities.
In particular, the applicable conversion rate will not be
adjusted:
|
|
|
|
|
upon the issuance of any shares of our common stock pursuant to
any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of
dividends or interest payable on our securities and the
investment of additional optional amounts in shares of our
common stock under any plan; |
|
|
|
upon the issuance of any shares of our common stock or options
or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or
future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program
of or assumed by us or any of our subsidiaries; |
112
|
|
|
|
|
upon the issuance of any shares of our common stock pursuant to
any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or
convertible security not described in the preceding bullet and
outstanding as of the date the notes were first issued; |
|
|
|
for a change in the par value of the common stock; or |
|
|
|
for accrued and unpaid interest (including liquidated damages,
if any). |
Adjustments to the applicable conversion rate will be calculated
to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share.
We are permitted to increase the conversion rate of the notes by
any amount for a period of at least 20 business days (or
such longer period as may be required by law) if our Board of
Directors determines that such increase would be in our best
interest. We are required to give at least 15 days prior
notice of any increase in the conversion rate. We may also (but
are not required to) increase the conversion rate to avoid or
diminish income tax to holders of our common stock or rights to
purchase common stock in connection with a dividend or
distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or similar
event.
Holders of the notes may, in some circumstances, be deemed to
have received a distribution or dividend subject to United
States federal income tax as a result of an adjustment or the
nonoccurrence of an adjustment to the conversion rate. See
Certain United States Federal Income Tax
Considerations.
Exchange in Lieu of Conversion
When you surrender the notes for conversion, the conversion
agent may direct you to surrender your notes to a financial
institution designated by us for exchange in lieu of conversion.
In order to accept any notes surrendered for conversion, the
designated institution must agree to deliver, in exchange for
your notes, a number of shares of our common stock equal to the
applicable conversion rate, plus cash for any fractional shares,
or cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock
in lieu thereof. If the designated institution accepts any such
notes, it will deliver the appropriate number of shares of our
common stock to the conversion agent and the conversion agent
will deliver those shares to you. Any notes exchanged by the
designated institution will remain outstanding. If the
designated institution agrees to accept any notes for exchange
but does not timely deliver the related consideration, we will,
as promptly as practical thereafter, but not later than the
third business day following determination of the applicable
stock price, convert the notes and deliver cash, shares of our
common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common
stock as described under Conversion
Rights.
Our designation of an institution to which the notes may be
submitted for exchange does not require the institution to
accept any notes. If the designated institution declines to
accept any notes surrendered for exchange, we will convert those
notes into shares of our common stock, cash, or a combination of
cash and shares of our common stock, as described under
Conversion Rights.
We will not pay any consideration to, or otherwise enter into
any arrangement with, the designated institution for or with
respect to such designation.
Optional Redemption
Prior to June 20, 2008, the notes will not be redeemable.
On or after June 20, 2008, we may redeem for cash all or a
portion of the notes at any time at the declining redemption
prices below, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including
liquidated damages, if any) to but excluding the redemption
date. We will provide not less than 30 nor more than
60 days notice mailed to each registered holder of
the notes to be redeemed. If the redemption notice is given and
funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue
on and after the redemption date on the notes or portions of
such notes called for redemption. If the redemption date is an
interest payment date, interest (including liquidated damages,
if any) shall be paid on such interest payment
113
date to the record holder on the relevant record date. The
redemption price, expressed as a percentage of the principal
amount of the notes to be redeemed, is as follows for the
following periods:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Beginning June 15, 2011 and thereafter
|
|
|
100.000 |
% |
Notes or portions of notes called for redemption will be
convertible by the holder until the close of business on the
second business day prior to the redemption date. We will give
notice of our election to pay cash in lieu of shares of common
stock upon a conversion in the notice of redemption.
If we decide to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding notes,
the trustee will select the notes to be redeemed in principal
amounts of $1,000 or multiples of $1,000 by lot, on a pro rata
basis or by another method the trustee considers fair and
appropriate.
If the trustee selects a portion of your notes for partial
redemption and you convert a portion of your notes, the
converted portion will be deemed to be from the portion selected
for redemption.
We may not redeem the notes if we have failed to pay any
interest on the notes (including liquidated damages, if any) and
such failure to pay is continuing.
Purchase of Notes by Us at the Option of the Holders
Holders have the right to require us to purchase for cash all or
a portion of their notes on June 15 of 2011, 2014, 2019, 2024
and 2029 (each, a purchase date). We will be
required to purchase any outstanding notes for which a holder
delivers a written purchase notice to the paying agent. This
notice must be delivered during the period beginning at any time
from the opening of business on the date that is 20 business
days prior to the relevant purchase date until the close of
business on the third business day prior to the purchase date.
If the purchase notice is given and withdrawn during such
period, we will not be obligated to purchase the related notes.
The purchase price payable will be equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the notes to be purchased, plus any accrued
and unpaid interest (including liquidated damages, if any) to,
but excluding, the purchase date.
On or before the 20th business day prior to each purchase date,
we will provide to the trustee, the paying agent and all holders
of the notes at their addresses shown in the register of the
registrar, and to beneficial owners as required by applicable
law, a notice stating, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
the purchase price; |
|
|
|
the name and address of the paying agent and the conversion
agent; and |
|
|
|
the procedures that holders must follow to require us to
purchase their notes. |
On or prior to the date we provide such notice, we will publish
a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general
circulation in The City of New York or publish the information
on our web site or through such other public medium as we may
use at that time.
The purchase notice given by each holder electing to require us
to purchase notes shall be given so as to be received by the
paying agent no later than the close of business on the third
business day prior to the purchase date and must state:
|
|
|
|
|
if certificated notes have been issued, the certificate numbers
of the notes; |
|
|
|
the portion of the principal amount of notes to be purchased, in
integral multiples of $1,000; and |
114
|
|
|
|
|
that the notes are to be purchased by us pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the notes and the indenture. |
If the notes are not in certificated form, your notice must
comply with appropriate DTC procedures.
You may withdraw any purchase notice in whole or in part by a
written notice of withdrawal delivered to the paying agent prior
to the close of business on the business day prior to the
purchase date. The notice of withdrawal must state:
|
|
|
|
|
the principal amount of the withdrawn notes; |
|
|
|
if certificated notes have been issued, the certificate numbers
of the withdrawn notes; and |
|
|
|
the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the
purchase notice. |
If the notes are not in certificated form, your withdrawal
notice must comply with appropriate DTC procedures.
You must either effect book-entry transfer or deliver the notes,
together with necessary endorsements, to the office of the
paying agent after delivery of the purchase notice to receive
payment of the purchase price. You will receive payment promptly
following the later of the purchase date or the time of
book-entry transfer or the delivery of the notes. If the paying
agent holds money sufficient to pay the purchase price of the
notes on the business day following the purchase date, then:
|
|
|
|
|
the notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease
to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the notes is
made or whether or not the notes are delivered to the paying
agent); and |
|
|
|
all other rights of the holder will terminate (other than the
right to receive the purchase price upon delivery or transfer of
the notes). |
Our ability to pay holders cash may be prohibited or limited in
the future by the terms of our borrowing agreements in effect
from time to time. Although we may become obligated to purchase
any outstanding notes on a purchase date, we may not have
sufficient funds to pay the purchase price on that purchase date.
We may not purchase any notes at the option of holders if there
has occurred and is continuing an event of default with respect
to the notes other than an event of default that is cured by the
payment of the repurchase price of the notes.
Designated Event Permits Holders to Require Us to Purchase
Notes
If a designated event occurs at any time, you will have the
right, at your option, to require us to purchase any or all of
your notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, that
is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. We will
pay a designated event repurchase price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest
(including liquidated damages, if any) to but excluding the
designated event repurchase date, plus, in the case of a
fundamental change that is a change of control (as defined
below), a make whole premium, if any, determined as described
below under Determination of the Make Whole
Premium.
A designated event will be deemed to have occurred
upon a fundamental change or a termination of
trading; provided that a fundamental change occurring on
or prior to June 15, 2011, will not be a designated event
unless the transaction or event resulting in such fundamental
change also constitutes a change of control.
A fundamental change is any transaction or event
(whether by means of an exchange offer, liquidation, tender
offer, consolidation, merger, combination, reclassification,
recapitalization or otherwise) in connection with which all or
substantially all of our common stock is exchanged for,
converted into, acquired for or constitutes solely the right to
receive, consideration that is not at least 90% (excluding cash
payments for fractional shares) common shares, common stock or
American depositary shares that are (i) listed on, or
immediately after the transaction or event will be listed on,
the New York Stock Exchange or a United States national
securities exchange; or (ii) approved, or immediately after
the transaction or event will be approved,
115
for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or any similar
United States system of automated dissemination of quotations of
securities prices.
A change of control will be deemed to have occurred
at the time any of the following occurs after the notes are
originally issued:
|
|
|
(1) any person or group (within the
meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) other than
us, our subsidiaries or any of our or their employee benefit
plans files a Schedule TO, Schedule 13D or any
schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that
such person or group has become the direct or indirect ultimate
beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act) of the Companys common equity
representing more than 50% of the voting power of the
Companys common equity entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors; or |
|
|
(2) consummation of any share exchange, consolidation or
merger of the Company pursuant to which the Companys
common stock will be converted into cash, securities or other
property or any sale, lease or transfer in one transaction or a
series of transactions of all or substantially all of the
consolidated assets of us and our subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, to any person other than us or one or more of our
subsidiaries; provided, however, that a transaction where the
holders of the Companys common equity immediately prior to
such transaction have, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of
the aggregate voting power of the voting stock of the continuing
or surviving corporation or transferee entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors immediately after such
event shall not be a change of control. |
A termination of trading will be deemed to have
occurred if our common stock or other common stock into which
the notes are convertible is neither listed for trading on a
United States national securities exchange nor approved for
listing on the Nasdaq National Market or another established
automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States,
and no American depositary shares or similar instruments for
such common stock are so listed or approved for listing in the
United States.
On or before the fifth trading day after the occurrence of a
designated event, we will provide to all holders of the notes
and the trustee and paying agent a notice of the occurrence of
the designated event and of the resulting repurchase right. Such
notice shall state, among other things:
|
|
|
|
|
the events causing a designated event; |
|
|
|
the date of the designated event; |
|
|
|
the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase
right; |
|
|
|
the designated event repurchase price; |
|
|
|
the designated event repurchase date; |
|
|
|
the name and address of the paying agent and conversion agent; |
|
|
|
the conversion price and any adjustments to the conversion price; |
|
|
|
that the notes with respect to which a designated event
repurchase notice has been given by the holder may be converted,
if permitted under the terms of the indenture, only if the
holder withdraws the designated event repurchase notice in
accordance with the terms of the indenture; and |
|
|
|
the procedures that holders must follow to require us to
repurchase their notes. |
In connection with providing such notice, we will publish a
notice containing this information in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City of New York or publish the information
on our website or through such other public medium as we may use
at that time.
To exercise the repurchase right, you must deliver, on or before
the close of business on the third business day immediately
preceding the designated event repurchase date, subject to
extension to comply with applicable law, a written repurchase
notice and the form entitled Form of Designated Event
Repurchase
116
Election on the reverse side of the notes duly completed,
to the paying agent. Your repurchase election must state:
|
|
|
|
|
if certificated, the certificate numbers of your notes to be
delivered for repurchase; |
|
|
|
the portion of the principal amount of notes to be repurchased,
which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and |
|
|
|
that the notes are to be repurchased by us pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the notes and the indenture. |
If the notes are not in certificated form, your notice must
comply with appropriate DTC procedures.
You may withdraw any repurchase election (in whole or in
part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the paying
agent prior to the close of business on the business day prior
to the designated event repurchase date. The notice of
withdrawal shall state:
|
|
|
|
|
the principal amount of the withdrawn notes; |
|
|
|
if certificated notes have been issued, the certificate numbers
of the withdrawn notes; and |
|
|
|
the principal amount, if any, which remains subject to the
repurchase election. |
If the notes are not in certificated form, your withdrawal
notice must comply with appropriate DTC procedures.
You must either effect book-entry transfer or deliver the notes,
together with necessary endorsements, to the office of the
paying agent after delivery of the repurchase election to
receive payment of the designated event repurchase price. We
will be required to repurchase the notes no later than
35 days after the day of our notice of the occurrence of
the relevant designated event subject to extension to comply
with applicable law. You will receive payment of the designated
event repurchase price promptly following the later of the
designated event repurchase date or the time of book-entry
transfer or the delivery of the notes. If the paying agent holds
money sufficient to pay the designated event repurchase price of
the notes on the business day following the designated event
repurchase date, then:
|
|
|
|
|
the notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease
to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the notes is
made or whether or not the notes are delivered to the paying
agent); and |
|
|
|
all other rights of the holder will terminate (other than the
right to receive the designated event repurchase price and
previously accrued and unpaid interest upon delivery or transfer
of the notes). |
The repurchase rights of the holders could discourage a
potential acquirer of us. The designated event repurchase
feature, however, is not the result of managements
knowledge of any specific effort to obtain control of us by any
means or part of a plan by management to adopt a series of
anti-takeover provisions.
The term designated event is limited to specified transactions
and may not include other events that might adversely affect our
financial condition. In addition, the requirement that we offer
to repurchase the notes upon a designated event may not protect
holders in the event of a highly leveraged transaction,
reorganization, merger or similar transaction involving us.
The definition of designated event includes a phrase relating to
the conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or disposition of
all or substantially all of our consolidated assets.
There is no precise, established definition of the phrase
substantially all under applicable law. Accordingly,
the ability of a holder of the notes to require us to repurchase
its notes as a result of the conveyance, transfer, sale, lease
or other disposition of less than all of our assets may be
uncertain.
No notes may be repurchased at the option of holders (other than
through the issuance of shares of common stock and cash in lieu
of fractional shares) upon a designated event if there has
occurred and is continuing an event of default other than an
event of default that is cured by the payment of the designated
event repurchase price of the notes.
117
If a designated event were to occur, we may not have enough
funds to pay the designated event repurchase price in cash. See
Risk Factors We May be Unable to Repay or
Repurchase the Notes. If we fail to repurchase the notes
when required following a designated event, we will be in
default under the indenture. Under our existing credit
facilities, the occurrence of certain types of designated events
would be an event of default and allow the lenders to accelerate
the debt under that facility. This could result in an event of
default under the notes. See Events of Default
and Remedies. In addition, we have, and may in the future
incur, other indebtedness with similar change in control
provisions permitting our holders to accelerate or to require us
to repurchase our indebtedness upon the occurrence of similar
events or on some specific dates.
Our obligation to make a repurchase upon a designated event will
be satisfied if a third party makes the designated event
repurchase offer in a manner and at the times and otherwise in
compliance in all material respects with the requirements
applicable to a designated event repurchase offer made by us,
purchases all notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under
the designated event repurchase offer and otherwise complies
with its obligations in connection therewith.
Determination of Make Whole Premium
If a fundamental change that constitutes a change of control
becomes effective on or prior to June 15, 2011, holders of
notes will be entitled to a make whole premium upon the
repurchase of notes as described above under
Designated Event Permits Holders to Require Us
to Purchase Notes and upon the conversion of notes as
described above under Conversion in Connection
with a Fundamental Change.
Holders will not be entitled to the make whole premium if the
stock price (as defined below) is less than $9.26
(subject to adjustment).
The make whole premium will be a percentage of the original
principal amount of the notes being purchased or converted. The
make whole premium will be determined by reference to the table
below and is based on the date on which the fundamental change
becomes effective and the stock price.
For these purposes, the price paid per share of our common stock
in the transaction constituting the fundamental change, or
stock price, will be determined as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
if holders of our common stock receive only cash in such
transaction, the stock price will be the cash amount paid per
share; and |
|
|
|
otherwise, the stock price will be the average of the last
reported sale price of our common stock on the 10 trading days
up to but not including the effective date of such transaction. |
We may satisfy the make whole premium solely in shares of our
common stock (other than cash paid in lieu of fractional shares)
or in the same form of consideration into which shares of our
common stock have been converted in connection with the
fundamental change. If holders of our common stock have the
right to elect the form of consideration received in a
fundamental change, then for purposes of the foregoing the
consideration into which a share of our common stock has been
converted shall be deemed to equal the aggregate consideration
distributed in respect of all shares of our common stock divided
by the total number of shares of our common stock participating
in the distribution.
The value of the shares of our common stock, or other
consideration to be received, for purposes of determining the
number of shares to be issued, or other consideration to be
delivered, in respect of the make whole premium will be
calculated as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
in the case of a fundamental change in which all or
substantially all of the shares of our common stock have been
converted as of the effective date into the right to receive
securities or other assets or property, then the value of the
shares of our common stock will equal the value of the
consideration paid per share, with the consideration valued as
follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
securities that are traded on an United States national
securities exchange or approved for quotation on the Nasdaq
National Market or any similar system of automated dissemination
of quotations of |
118
|
|
|
|
|
securities prices will be valued based on 98% of the average
last reported sale price on the 10 trading days prior to but
excluding the repurchase date, |
|
|
|
other securities, assets or property (other than cash) which
holders will have the right to receive will be valued based on
98% of the average of the fair market value of such securities,
assets or property (other than cash) as determined by two
independent nationally recognized investment banks selected by
the trustee, and |
|
|
|
|
|
100% of any cash; and |
|
|
|
in all other cases, the value of our shares of common stock will
equal 98% of the average last reported sale price on the 10
trading days prior to but excluding the repurchase date. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the value of
the shares of our common stock be less than 50% of the stock
price used to determine the amount of the make whole premium.
The stock prices set forth in the first row of the first
following table (i.e., the column headers) will be adjusted as
of any date on which the conversion rate of the notes is
adjusted. The adjusted stock prices will equal the stock prices
applicable immediately before that adjustment of the conversion
rate of the notes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
which is the conversion rate immediately prior to the adjustment
giving rise to the stock price adjustment and the denominator of
which is the conversion rate as so adjusted.
The table below sets forth the additional premiums prior to
June 20, 2008 (table in percentages).

The exact stock price and repurchase dates may not be set forth
on the table; in which case, if the stock price is:
|
|
|
|
|
between two stock price amounts on the table or the repurchase
date is between two dates on the table, the make whole premium
will be determined by straight-line interpolation between make
whole premium amounts set forth for the higher and lower stock
price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a

Merger and Consolidation
We will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey,
transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to, any
person, unless:
|
|
|
(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee person (the
Successor Company) will be a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any
State thereof or the District of Columbia and the Successor
Company (if not the company) will expressly assume, by a
supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee,
if form satisfactory to the trustee, all the obligations of the
company under the notes and the indenture; |
|
|
(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
default will have occurred and be continuing; and |
|
|
(3) we shall have delivered to the trustee an
officers certificate and an opinion of counsel, each
stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such
supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the indenture. |
The Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for,
and may exercise every right and power of, the company under the
indenture, and the predecessor company, other than in the case
of a lease, will be released from the obligation to pay the
principal of and interest on the notes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may merge with an affiliate
incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the
company in another jurisdiction to realize tax or other benefits.
Events of Default and Remedies
An event of default is defined in the indenture as being:
|
|
|
(1) a default in payment of the principal of, or premium
(if any) on, any of the notes when due at maturity, upon
redemption, required repurchase or otherwise; |
|
|
(2) a default in any payment of interest (including
liquidated damages, if any) on any note when due and payable and
continued for 30 days; |
|
|
(3) a default for 10 days in our obligation to satisfy
our conversion obligation upon exercise of a holders
conversion right; |
|
|
(4) a failure to comply with or observe in any material
respect any other covenant or agreement in respect of the notes
contained in the indenture or the notes for 60 days after
written notice to us by the trustee or to us and the trustee by
holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
notes then outstanding; |
|
|
(5) the failure by the Company or any significant
subsidiary (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X)
to pay any indebtedness (other than indebtedness owing to the
Company or a significant subsidiary) within any applicable grace
period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such
indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default if the
total amount of such indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds
$50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent; |
|
|
(6) the rendering of any final nonappealable judgment or
decree (not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in
excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent
(treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not so
covered) against the Company or a significant subsidiary (as
defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) if such final
judgment or decree remains outstanding and is not satisfied,
discharged or waived within a period of 60 days following
such judgment; |
|
|
(7) a failure to give notice of the right to require us to
repurchase notes following the occurrence of a designated event
within the time required to give such notice; or |
|
|
(8) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization affecting the Company or a significant subsidiary. |
120
A default under clauses (5) and (6) will not
constitute an event of default until the trustee notifies the
Company or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the outstanding notes notify the Company and the trustee of the
default and the Company does not cure such default within the
time specified in clauses (5) or (6) hereof after
receipt of such notice.
If an event of default (other than an event of default specified
in clause (8) above) occurs and is continuing, then and in
every such case the trustee, by written notice to us, or the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the notes then outstanding, by written notice to us and the
trustee, may declare the unpaid principal of, and accrued and
unpaid interest (including liquidated damages, if any) on, all
the notes then outstanding to be due and payable. Upon such
declaration, such principal amount and accrued and unpaid
interest (including liquidated damages, if any), will become
immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained
in the indenture or the notes to the contrary. If any event of
default specified in clause (8) above occurs, all unpaid
principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest (including
liquidated damages, if any) on, the notes then outstanding will
automatically become due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of notes.
However, if we cure all defaults, except the nonpayment of
principal or interest (including liquidated damages, if any)
that became due as a result of the acceleration, and meet
certain other conditions, with certain exceptions, this
declaration may be cancelled and the holders of a majority of
the principal amount of outstanding notes may waive these past
defaults.
Payments of principal or interest on the notes that are not made
when due will accrue interest at the annual rate of 1% above the
then-applicable interest rate from the required payment date.
The holders of a majority of outstanding notes will have the
right to direct the time, method and place of any proceedings
for any remedy available to the trustee, subject to limitations
specified in the indenture.
No holder of the notes may pursue any remedy under the
indenture, except in the case of a default in the payment of
principal or interest (including liquidated damages, if any) on
the notes, unless:
|
|
|
|
|
the holder has given the trustee written notice of an event of
default; |
|
|
|
the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding
notes make a written request to the trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such event of default; |
|
|
|
the holder has offered reasonable indemnity to the trustee
against any costs, expenses or liabilities of the trustee; |
|
|
|
the trustee fails to comply with the request within 60 days
after receipt of the request and offer of indemnity; and |
|
|
|
the trustee does not receive an inconsistent direction from the
holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes. |
The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the notes of
any default, except defaults in payment of principal or interest
(including liquidated damages, if any) on the notes. However,
the trustee must consider it to be in the interest of the
holders of the notes to withhold this notice.
A default in the payment of the notes, or a default with respect
to the notes that causes them to be accelerated, may give rise
to a default under our credit facilities or other indebtedness.
Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the
indenture may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the
holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for notes).
121
Without the consent of each holder affected, an amendment or
waiver may not (with respect to any notes held by a
non-consenting holder):
|
|
|
|
|
reduce the amount of notes whose holders must consent to an
amendment; |
|
|
|
reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment
of interest (including liquidated damages, if any) on any note; |
|
|
|
reduce the principal of or extend the stated maturity of any
note; |
|
|
|
affect our obligation to redeem any notes on a redemption date
in a manner adverse to such holders; |
|
|
|
affect our obligation to repurchase any note at the option of
the holder in a manner adverse to such holders; |
|
|
|
affect our obligation to repurchase any note upon a designated
event in a manner adverse to such holders; |
|
|
|
reduce the amount payable upon the redemption or repurchase of
any note or change the time at which any note may be redeemed or
repurchased; |
|
|
|
make the principal or interest on any note payable in money
other than that stated in the note; |
|
|
|
impair the right of a holder to convert any note or reduce the
number of shares of common stock or any other property
receivable upon conversion; |
|
|
|
impair the right of any holder to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such
holders notes; or |
|
|
|
make any change in the amendment provisions which require each
holders consent or in the waiver provisions. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any holder
of notes, we and the trustee may amend or supplement the
indenture or the notes to:
|
|
|
|
|
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; |
|
|
|
provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of our
obligations under the indenture; |
|
|
|
provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of
certificated notes; |
|
|
|
add guarantees with respect to the notes; |
|
|
|
secure the notes; |
|
|
|
add covenants for the benefit of the holders or surrender any
right or power conferred upon us; |
|
|
|
make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
holder, subject to the provisions of the indenture; |
|
|
|
evidence and provide the acceptance of the appointment of a
successor trustee under the indenture; |
|
|
|
modify the restrictions on, and procedures for, resale and other
transfers of shares pursuant to law, regulation or practice
relating to the resale or transfer of restricted securities
generally; or |
|
|
|
comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the
qualification of the indenture or any supplemental indenture
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect. |
122
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
notes may waive any existing or past default or event of
default. Those holders may not, however, waive any default or
event of default in any payment of principal or interest on any
note or compliance with a provision that cannot be amended or
supplemented without the consent of each holder affected.
Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture
The indenture will generally cease to be of any further effect
with respect to the notes, if:
|
|
|
|
|
we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all
outstanding notes (with certain limited exceptions); or |
|
|
|
all notes not previously delivered to the trustee for
cancellation have become due and payable, whether at stated
maturity or any redemption date or any repurchase date
(including upon the occurrence of a designated event), or |
upon conversion or otherwise, and we have deposited with the
trustee as trust funds the entire amount in cash and/or our
common stock (as applicable under the terms of the indenture)
sufficient to pay all the outstanding notes, and if, in either
case, we also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable
under the indenture by us.
Calculations in Respect of the Notes
Unless otherwise specified, we will be responsible for making
all calculations called for under the notes. These calculations
include, but are not limited to, the amount of accrued interest
(including liquidated damages, if any) payable on the notes and
the conversion price of the notes. We will make all these
calculations in good faith, and, absent manifest error, our
calculations will be final and binding on holders of notes. We
will provide a schedule of our calculations to each of the
trustee and the conversion agent, and each of the trustee and
the conversion agent is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of
our calculations without independent verification. The trustee
will forward our calculations to any holder of notes upon the
request of that holder.
Limitations of Claims of Bankruptcy
If a bankruptcy proceeding is commenced in respect of the
company, the claim of a holder of a note is, under Title 11
of the United States Code, limited to the issue price of the
note together with any unpaid cash interest that has accrued
from the date of issue to the commencement of the proceeding.
Governing Law
The indenture provides that the notes and the indenture will be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York.
Form, Exchange, Registration and Transfer
We issued the notes in fully registered form, without interest
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and
integral multiples thereof. We will not charge a service fee for
any registration of transfer or exchange of the notes. We may,
however, require the payment of any tax or other governmental
charge payable for that registration.
If the notes become certificated, the notes will be exchangeable
for other notes, for the same total principal amount and for the
same terms but in different authorized denominations, in
accordance with the indenture. Also, holders may present
certificated notes for registration of transfer at the office of
the security registrar or any transfer agent we designate. The
security registrar or transfer agent will effect the transfer or
exchange when it is satisfied with the documents of title and
identity of the person making the request.
We have initially appointed the trustee as security registrar
for the notes and holders may present notes for conversion,
registration of transfer and exchange at the Corporate
Trust Office of the trustee in the City of
123
New York. We may at any time rescind that designation or approve
a change in the location through which any such security
registrar acts. We are required to maintain an office or agency
for transfer and exchanges in each place of payment. We may at
any time designate additional registrars for the notes.
The registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of
it for all purposes.
Payment and Paying Agent
We will maintain an office in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, which shall initially be an office of the agent of
the trustee, where we will pay the principal on the notes and
you may present the notes for conversion, registration of
transfer or exchange for other denominations. We may pay
interest by check mailed to your address as it appears in the
note register, provided that if you are a holder with an
aggregate principal amount of notes in excess of
$2.0 million, you shall be paid, at your written election,
by wire transfer in immediately available funds. However,
payments to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York,
which we refer to as DTC, will be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of DTC or its nominee.
Notices
Except as otherwise described herein, notice to registered
holders of the notes will be given by mail to the addresses as
they appear in the security register. Notices will be deemed to
have been given on the date of such mailing.
Reports
We are required to file with the trustee and the SEC, and
transmit to holders, such information, documents and other
reports, and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant
to the Trust Indenture Act at the times and in the manner
provided pursuant to such Act; provided that any such
information, documents or reports required to be filed with the
SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act is
required to be filed with the trustee within 15 days after
it is so required to be filed with the SEC.
The Trustee
We have appointed Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the trustee under the
indenture, as paying agent, conversion agent, note registrar and
custodian for the notes. The trustee or its affiliates may also
provide banking and other services to us in the ordinary course
of their business.
No Recourse Against Others
None of our directors, officers, employees, shareholders or
affiliates, as such, shall have any liability or any obligations
under the notes or the indenture or for any claim based on, in
respect of or by reason of such obligations or the creation of
such obligations. Each holder by accepting a note waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
the consideration for the notes.
Anyone who receives this prospectus may obtain a copy of the
indenture, without charge, by writing to The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company, 1144 East Market Street, Akron,
Ohio 44316.

Book-Entry System
Notes were issued in the form of global notes held in book-entry
form. We deposited the global notes with DTC and registered the
global notes in the name of Cede & Co. as DTCs
nominee. Except as set forth below, a global note may be
transferred, in whole or in part, only to another nominee of DTC
or to a successor of DTC or its nominee.
Beneficial interests in a global note may be held through
organizations that are participants in DTC (called
participants). Transfers between participants will
be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and
will be settled in clearing house funds. The laws of some states
require that certain persons take physical delivery of
securities in definitive form. As a result, the ability to
transfer beneficial interests in the global notes to such
persons may be limited.
Beneficial interests in a global note held by DTC may be held
only through participants, or certain banks, brokers, dealers,
trust companies and other parties that clear through or maintain
a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or
indirectly (called indirect participants). So long
as Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC, is the registered
owner of global notes, Cede & Co. for all purposes will
be considered the sole holder of such global notes. Except as
provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note
will:
|
|
|
|
|
not be entitled to have certificates registered in their names; |
|
|
|
not receive physical delivery of certificates in definitive
registered form; and |
|
|
|
not be considered holders of the global note. |
We will pay interest on and the redemption price and the
repurchase price of a global note to Cede & Co., as the
registered owner of the global note, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds on each interest payment date or the
redemption or repurchase date, as the case may be. Neither we,
the trustee nor any paying agent will be responsible or liable:
|
|
|
|
|
for the records relating to, or payments made on account of,
beneficial ownership interests in a global note; or |
|
|
|
for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating
to the beneficial ownership interests. |
Neither we, the trustee, registrar, paying agent nor conversion
agent will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or
its participants or indirect participants of their respective
obligations under the rules and procedures governing their
operations. DTC has advised us that it will take any action
permitted to be taken by a holder of notes, including the
presentation of notes for conversion, only at the direction of
one or more participants to whose account with DTC interests in
the global note are credited, and only in respect of the
principal amount of the notes represented by the global note as
to which the participant or participants has or have given such
direction.
In order to ensure that DTCs nominee will timely exercise
a right conferred by the notes, the beneficial owner of the note
must instruct the broker or other direct or indirect participant
through which it holds an interest in that note to notify DTC of
its desire to exercise that right. Different firms have
different deadlines for accepting instructions from their
customers. Each beneficial owner should consult the broker or
other direct or indirect participant through which it holds an
interest in the notes in order to ascertain the deadline for
ensuring that timely notice will be delivered to DTC.
DTC has advised us that it is:
|
|
|
|
|
a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the
State of New York, and a member of the Federal Reserve System; |
|
|
|
a clearing corporation within the meaning of the
Uniform Commercial Code; and |
|
|
|
a clearing agency registered pursuant to the
provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, or the Exchange Act. |
125
DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to
facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities
transactions between participants through electronic book-entry
changes to the accounts of its participants. Participants
include securities brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies and
clearing corporations and other organizations. Some of the
participants or their representatives, together with other
entities, own DTC. Indirect access to the DTC system is
available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust
companies that clear through or maintain a custodial
relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.
DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures to facilitate
transfers of interests in a global note among participants.
However, DTC is under no obligation to perform or continue to
perform these procedures, and may discontinue these procedures
at any time. If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to
continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not
appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue notes in
certificated form in exchange for global notes. In addition, we
may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have
notes represented by global notes and in such event will issue
certificates in definitive form in exchange for the global notes.

Description of Capital Stock
This section contains a description of our common stock. The
following description is based on our Amended Articles of
Incorporation, as amended (Articles of
Incorporation), our Code of Regulations, as amended
(Code of Regulations) and applicable provisions of
Ohio law. The summary is not complete. Our Articles of
Incorporation and Code of Regulations are filed as exhibits to
this registration statement on Form S-1. You should read
our Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations for the
provisions that are important to you.
Our authorized capital stock consists of:
|
|
|
|
|
300,000,000 shares of common stock, without par
value; and |
|
|
|
50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, issuable in series. |
At September 30, 2005, there were 176,403,442 shares
of common stock issued and an additional 19,275,226 outstanding
and issued shares of common stock which we hold as treasury
shares. No shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding
at September 30, 2005. The outstanding shares of our common
stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. EquiServe Trust
Company, N.A. is the transfer agent and registrar for our common
stock.
Common Stock
Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share
on each matter (other than the election of directors) voted upon
by shareholders, subject to the rights of the holders of shares
of preferred stock, if any, that may be outstanding.
Except as may otherwise be required by our Articles of
Incorporation, our Code of Regulations or Ohio law in respect of
certain matters, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of
the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date is
required for any proposal to be adopted. Various matters,
including the approval of certain transactions and certain
amendments to the Articles of Incorporation or Code of
Regulations, require the affirmative vote of the holder of
two-thirds
(2/3)
of the shares of common stock outstanding.
In voting for the election of directors, each share is entitled
to one vote for each director to be elected. In the election of
directors, the candidates for directorships to be filled
receiving the most votes will be elected. Any holder of shares
of common stock may request that voting for the election of
directors be cumulative. In voting cumulatively, as a
shareholder you may give any one candidate for director a number
of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected
multiplied by the number of shares you are entitled to vote, or
you may distribute your votes on the same principle among two or
more candidates as you desire.
If any shares of a series of preferred stock are outstanding and
if six quarterly dividends thereon have not been paid as
provided by the terms of that outstanding series of preferred
stock, then the holders of the preferred stock have the right to
elect, as a class, two members of our board of directors, which
rights continue until the dividend payment default is cured. In
addition, the separate affirmative vote or consent of the
holders of any outstanding preferred stock may be required to
authorize certain corporate actions, including mergers and
certain amendments to our Articles of Incorporation.
The holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to
receive dividends and other distributions if, as and when
declared by our board of directors, out of funds legally
available for that purpose. These rights are subject to any
preferential rights and any sinking fund, redemption or
repurchase rights of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
We are not permitted to pay dividends to holders of our common
stock if we have not paid or provided for the dividends, if any,
fixed with respect to any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
127
In addition, under our restructured credit facilities we are
prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock.
|
|
|
Liability for Calls and Assessments |
The outstanding shares of our common stock are validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable.
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have preemptive
rights or conversion rights as to additional issuances of shares
of our common stock or of securities convertible into, or
entitling the holder to purchase, shares of our common stock.
If Goodyear is voluntarily or involuntarily liquidated,
dissolved or wound up, the holders of our outstanding shares of
common stock would be entitled to share in the distribution of
all assets remaining after payment of all of our liabilities and
after satisfaction of prior distribution rights and payment of
any distributions owing to holders of any outstanding shares of
preferred stock.
Holders of shares of our common stock have no conversion,
redemption or call rights related to their shares. We may,
pursuant to action authorized by our board of directors, offer
to repurchase or otherwise reacquire shares of our common stock,
but we may not redeem issued and outstanding shares.
Policy Regarding Shareholder Rights Plans
Until recently, we had a shareholder rights plan that would have
resulted in substantial dilution to a person or group that
attempted to acquire us on terms not approved by our board of
directors. Our board of directors terminated our shareholder
rights plan effective as of June 1, 2004. The board of
directors has also agreed to the following policy, which is set
forth in our corporate governance guidelines, with respect to
the future adoption of a rights plan:
|
|
|
|
|
if we ever were to adopt a rights plan, the board of directors
would seek prior shareholder approval of the plan unless, due to
timing constraints or other reasons, a committee consisting
solely of independent directors determines that it would be in
the best interests of shareholders to adopt a plan before
obtaining shareholder approval; and |
|
|
|
if a rights plan is adopted without prior shareholder approval,
the plan must either be ratified by shareholders or must expire
within one year. |
Certain Provisions of Ohio Law and Goodyears Articles
of Incorporation and Code of Regulations
There are statutory provisions of Ohio law and provisions in our
Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations that may have
the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or
preventing changes in control or changes in management of
Goodyear, including transactions in which our shareholders might
otherwise receive a premium over the then current market prices
for their shares.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations contain
various provisions that may have the effect, either alone or in
combination with each other, of making more difficult or
discouraging a business combination or an attempt to obtain
control of Goodyear that is not approved by the board of
directors. These provisions include:
|
|
|
|
|
the right of our board of directors to issue authorized and
unissued shares of common stock without shareholder approval; |
128
|
|
|
|
|
the right of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred
stock in one or more series and to designate the number of
shares of those series and certain terms, rights and preferences
of those series, including redemption terms and prices and
conversion rights, without shareholder approval; |
|
|
|
a board of directors divided into three classes such that at
each annual meeting of shareholders directors of one class
(comprising approximately one-third of the entire board of
directors) are elected, on a rotating basis, to serve for
three-year terms; and |
|
|
|
provisions prohibiting the removal of directors except upon the
vote of holders of two-thirds of the combined voting power
represented by the outstanding shares of common stock. |
Under Ohio law, any person who proposes to make a control
share acquisition must provide written notice thereof to
the target corporation and must obtain prior shareholder
approval. A control share acquisition is the
acquisition of shares in an issuing public
corporation resulting in the person being able to exercise
voting power in the election of directors of the issuing public
corporation within any of three ranges: (i) one-fifth to
one-third, (ii) one-third to one-half, and (iii) more
than one-half of that voting power. We are an issuing
public corporation. Assuming compliance with the notice
and information filing requirements prescribed by the statute,
the proposed control share acquisition may take place only if
the acquisition is approved by a majority of the voting power of
the target corporation and a majority of the voting power
remaining after excluding the combined voting power of the
intended acquirer, directors of the target corporation who are
also employees and officers of the target corporation and
persons that acquire specified amounts of shares after the
public disclosure of the proposed control share acquisition.
Further, Ohio law prohibits any person who owns 10% or more of
an issuing public corporations stock from engaging in
mergers, consolidations, majority share acquisitions, asset
sales, loans and other specified transactions with the
corporation for a three-year period after acquiring the 10%
ownership, unless approval is first obtained from the
corporations board of directors. After the three-year
waiting period, the 10% shareholder can complete the
transaction only if, among other things: (i) approval is
received from two-thirds of all voting shares and from a
majority of shares not held by the 10% shareholder or certain
affiliated persons; or (ii) the transaction meets specified
criteria designed to ensure fairness to all remaining
shareholders. We are also an issuing public corporation under
this statute.
In addition, other provisions of Ohio law:
|
|
|
|
|
permit a corporation to recover profits realized under certain
circumstances by persons who dispose of securities of a
corporation within 18 months of proposing to acquire such
corporation; |
|
|
|
impose advance filing and notice requirements for tenders of
more than 10% of certain Ohio corporations; and |
|
|
|
provide that directors of a classified board may be removed only
for cause. |

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a summary of certain of the material United
States federal income tax consequences of the ownership and
disposition of the notes and shares of common stock into which
the notes are convertible (the securities). Unless
otherwise stated, this summary deals only with U.S. holders
who hold the notes and any shares of common stock into which the
notes are converted as capital assets. This summary assumes that
transfers of the notes and payments thereon will be made in
accordance with the applicable indenture.
As used herein, U.S. holders are any beneficial
owners of the securities, that are, for United States federal
income tax purposes, (i) citizens or residents of the
United States, (ii) corporations created or organized in,
or under the laws of, the United States, any state thereof or
the District of Columbia, (iii) estates, the income of
which is subject to United States federal income taxation
regardless of its source, or (iv) trusts if (a) a
court within the United States is able to exercise primary
supervision over the administration of the trust and
(b) one or more United States persons have the authority to
control all substantial decisions of the trust. In addition,
certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 and treated
as a U.S. holder prior to such date may also be treated as
U.S. holders. As used herein,
non-U.S. holders are beneficial owners of the
securities, other than partnerships, that are not
U.S. holders. If a partnership (including for this purpose
any entity treated as a partnership for United States federal
income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the securities,
the treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally
depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of
the partnership. Partnerships and partners in such partnerships
should consult their tax advisors about the United States
federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the
securities.
This summary does not describe all of the tax consequences that
may be relevant to a holder in light of its particular
circumstances. For example, it does not deal with special
classes of holders such as banks, thrifts, real estate
investment trusts, regulated investment companies, insurance
companies, dealers and traders in securities or currencies, or
tax-exempt investors. It also does not discuss securities held
as part of a hedge, straddle, synthetic security or
other integrated transaction. This summary does not address the
tax consequences to (i) U.S. persons that have a
functional currency other than the U.S. dollar,
(ii) certain U.S. expatriates or
(iii) shareholders, partners or beneficiaries of a holder
of the securities. Further, it does not include any description
of any estate, gift or alternative minimum tax consequences or
the tax laws of any state or local government or of any foreign
government that may be applicable to the securities.
This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code), the Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial
interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof, and all of
which are subject to change or differing interpretations,
possibly on a retroactive basis.
You should consult with your own tax advisor regarding the
federal, state, local and foreign income, franchise, personal
property and any other tax consequences of the ownership and
disposition of the securities.
Taxation of U.S. Holders
|
|
|
Characterization of the Notes |
As discussed in the offering memorandum related to the notes,
our obligation to pay liquidated damages in the form of
additional interest on the notes in the event of a default under
the registration rights agreement potentially implicate Treasury
regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments. The
special mandatory accrual and other rules applicable to
contingent payment debt instruments do not apply to debt
instruments subject to contingencies that are either remote or
incidental. At the time the notes were originally issued, we
determined that the likelihood of payments of liquidated
damages, as described above, was remote. As a result, we
determined that the rules applicable to contingent payment debt
instruments did not apply to the notes at the time of their
original issuance.
Because liquidated damages began to accrue on December 7,
2004, a determination had to be made whether as of that date the
notes had become subject to the rules related to contingent
payment debt instruments. We have determined that the
contingency related to the possible payment of a premium upon
131
conversion of the notes or the exercise of certain options
remains a remote contingency. Moreover, we have determined that
the contingency related to the payment of liquidated damages
upon a registration default is an incidental contingency
because, at the time liquidated damages began to accrue, we
believed that, under all reasonably expected market conditions,
the potential amount of liquidated damages due prior to our
curing of the registration default was insignificant relative to
the total expected amount of the remaining payments on the
notes. Our determination that the contingency related to the
payment of liquidated damages is an incidental contingency has
not changed since the time liquidated damages began to accrue.
Our determination that the contingencies with respect to the
notes are either remote or incidental is binding on all holders
of notes (but not on the Internal Revenue Service) unless a
holder explicitly discloses on a statement attached to the
holders timely filed federal income tax return for the
year that includes its acquisition of a note that its
determination is different from ours. Unless specified
otherwise, the remainder of this discussion assumes that our
determination that the contingencies with respect to the notes
are either remote or incidental is correct.
Payments of interest on the notes (including liquidated damages
resulting from a registration default) generally will be taxable
as ordinary interest income at the time such payments are
accrued or received (in accordance with the holders
regular method of tax accounting).
|
|
|
Notes Purchased with Market Discount |
A holder will be considered to have purchased a note with
market discount if the holders tax basis in
the note immediately after purchase is less than the notes
stated redemption price at maturity. A note is not treated as
having market discount if the amount of market discount is de
minimis. For this purpose, the amount of market discount is de
minimis if it is less than the product of 0.25 percent of
the stated redemption price at maturity on the purchase date
multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity remaining
as of such date.
If a note is treated as having market discount, any gain
recognized upon the sale, redemption or other disposition of the
note will generally be treated as ordinary income to the extent
that such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount on
the note that has not been previously included in income.
Alternatively, a holder of a note may elect to include market
discount in income currently over the life of the note. Such an
election applies to all notes with market discount acquired by
the electing holder on or after the first day of the first
taxable year to which the election applies and may not be
revoked without the consent of the Internal Revenue Service.
Market discount accrues on a straight-line basis unless the
holder elects to accrue such discount on a constant yield to
maturity basis. This latter election is applicable only to the
note with respect to which it is made and is irrevocable. A
holder of a note that does not elect to include market discount
in income currently generally will be required to defer
deductions for interest on borrowings allocable to such note in
an amount not exceeding the accrued market discount on such note
until the maturity or disposition of such note.
|
|
|
Notes Purchased at a Premium |
A holder will be considered to have purchased a note at a
premium if the holders tax basis in the note immediately
after the purchase (which does not include any amount paid in
respect of accrued interest on the note) is greater than the
amount payable at maturity. For this purpose only, a
holders basis in a note is reduced by an amount equal to
the value of the option to convert the note into common stock;
the value of this conversion option may be determined under any
reasonable method. A holder may elect to treat such premium as
amortizable bond premium, in which case the amount
of interest required to be included in the holders income
each year with respect to the note will be reduced by the amount
of the amortizable bond premium allocable (generally under a
constant yield method based on the holders yield to
maturity) to such year with a corresponding decrease in the
holders tax basis in the note. Any election to amortize
bond premium is applicable to all notes (other than a tax-exempt
note) held by the holder at the beginning of the
132
first taxable year to which the election applies or thereafter
acquired by the holder, and may not be revoked without the
consent of the Internal Revenue Service.
A U.S. holder will generally not recognize income, gain or
loss (except with respect to cash in lieu of a fractional share
and shares attributable to accrued but unpaid interest not
previously included in the income of the holder) upon the
conversion of a note solely into common stock. A
U.S. holders tax basis in the common stock received
(other than common stock attributable to accrued but unpaid
interest) will be the same as the U.S. holders tax
basis in the note at the time of conversion (exclusive of any
tax basis allocable to a fractional share). The holding period
for any common stock received pursuant to a conversion of a note
(including any fractional share treated as received but
excluding common stock attributable to accrued but unpaid
interest) will include the holding period for the note. If cash
is received in lieu of a fractional share, the holder will be
treated as having received the fractional share and as having
immediately sold it for an amount equal to such cash.
Accordingly, the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share
will generally result in capital gain or loss, if any, measured
by the difference between the cash received for the fractional
share and the U.S. holders tax basis in the
fractional share.
If a U.S. holder converts a note and we deliver a
combination of shares of common stock and cash, the tax
treatment to the holder is uncertain. A holder may be required
to recognize any gain (but not loss) realized, but only to the
extent such gain does not exceed the amount of cash received
(other than cash received in lieu of a fractional share or
attributable to accrued but unpaid interest). In such case, a
holders basis in the common stock received in the
conversion (including any basis allocable to a fractional share
but excluding shares of common stock attributable to accrued but
unpaid interest) would be equal to such holders tax basis
in the note, reduced by any cash received in the conversion
(other than cash received in lieu of a fractional share or
attributable to accrued but unpaid interest) and increased by
the amount of any gain recognized on the conversion (other than
gain with respect to a fractional share). Alternatively, the
cash payment may be treated as proceeds from a sale of a portion
of the note, as described below under Sale,
Exchange or Redemption of Notes. In such case, a
holders tax basis in the note would be allocated pro rata
between the common stock received and the portion of the note
that is treated as sold for cash (including any fractional share
treated as received but excluding any amounts attributable to
accrued and unpaid interest). If cash is received in lieu of a
fractional share, the holder will be treated as having received
the fractional share and as having immediately sold it for an
amount equal to such cash. Accordingly, the receipt of cash in
lieu of a fractional share will generally result in capital gain
or loss, if any, measured by the difference between the cash
received for the fractional share and the
U.S. holders tax basis in the fractional share. The
holding period for any common stock received in a conversion
(including any fractional share treated as received but
excluding any common stock received that is attributable to
accrued but unpaid interest) will include the holding period for
the note. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding
the proper treatment to them of the receipt of a combination of
cash and common stock upon a conversion of the notes.
If a U.S. holder converts a note and we deliver solely cash
in satisfaction of our obligation, such cash payment will
generally be treated as received from a sale of the note by the
U.S. holder as described below under
Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes.
If a U.S. holder converts a note and the conversion agent
directs the holder to surrender the note to a financial
institution (as described in Description of the
Notes Exchange in Lieu of Conversion), any
amounts paid by the financial institution will generally be
treated as received from a sale of the note by the
U.S. holder as described below under
Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes.
The amount of cash and the fair market value of any common stock
received by the holder that is attributable to accrued but
unpaid interest not previously included in the income will be
taxable to the holder as ordinary income. A holders tax
basis in any such shares of common stock will equal such accrued
interest and the holding period will begin on the day following
the conversion.
Any amount of market discount accrued on a note that has not
been recognized as ordinary income prior to, or as a result of,
the conversion of a note will carry over to the common stock
received upon conversion. As
133
a result, any gain on the sale or exchange of common stock
received upon conversion will be treated as ordinary income,
rather than capital gain, to the extent of such carried over
accrued market discount.

Adjustment of Conversion Rate |
If at any time we make a distribution of property to
shareholders that would be taxable as a dividend for United
States federal income tax purposes (for example, distributions
of evidences of indebtedness or assets, but generally not stock
dividends or rights to subscribe for common stock) and the
conversion rate of the notes is increased, such increase may be
deemed to be the payment of a taxable dividend to a
U.S. holder of the notes to the extent of our current and
accumulated earnings and profits. If the conversion rate is
increased at our discretion or in certain other circumstances,
such increase also may be deemed to be the payment of a taxable
dividend to the U.S. holder.
|
|
|
Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes |
Except as set forth under Conversion of
Notes above, a U.S. holder will generally recognize
taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount
realized on the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition
of a note (except to the extent the amount realized is
attributable to accrued unpaid interest not previously included
in income, which will be taxable as ordinary interest income)
and the holders tax basis in such note. A holders
tax basis in the note generally will be the initial purchase
price paid therefore, increased by any market discount
previously included in income with respect to the note and
reduced by any amortizable bond allocable to periods prior to
the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition.
In the case of a holder other than a corporation, preferential
tax rates may apply to gain recognized on the sale of a note if
such holders holding period for such note exceeds one
year. To the extent the amount realized is less than the
holders tax basis, the holder will recognize a capital
loss. Subject to certain limited exceptions, capital losses
cannot be applied to offset ordinary income for United States
federal income tax purposes.
|
|
|
Alternative Tax Treatment of the Notes |
If our determination that the contingencies with respect to the
notes are remote and incidental is not correct, the notes will
be subject to the regulations governing contingent payment debt
instruments. Under the contingent payment debt instrument
regulations, a U.S. holder, regardless of its method of tax
accounting, would be required to accrue interest income on the
notes on a constant yield basis at an assumed yield (the
comparable yield). The comparable yield would be
based on the yield at which we could have issued on
November 7, 2004, a fixed rate, nonconvertible debt
instrument with no contingent payments, but with terms otherwise
similar to those of the notes. Accordingly, if the contingent
payment debt instrument regulations were to apply to the notes,
U.S. holders generally would be required to include in
income an amount of interest in excess of the stated interest
and liquidated damage payments on the notes.
If the contingent payment debt instrument regulations were
applicable to the notes, solely for purposes of determining the
amount of interest income that a U.S. holder would be
required to accrue we would be required to construct a
projected payment schedule in respect of the notes
representing a series of payments (including issuances of our
common stock upon conversion) the amount and timing of which
would produce a yield to maturity on the notes equal to the
comparable yield. Based on the comparable yield and the issue
price of the notes, a U.S. holder of a note (regardless if
its tax accounting method) would be required to accrue as
interest income the sum of the daily portions of interest on the
notes for each day in the taxable year on which the
U.S. holder holds the notes, adjusted upward or downward to
reflect the difference, if any, between the actual and projected
amount of any contingent payments on the notes (as set forth
below). The issue price of the notes is the first price at which
a substantial amount of the notes were originally sold to the
public, excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons acting
in the capacity as underwriters, placement agents or wholesalers.
If the contingent payment debt regulations were applicable to
the notes, the daily portions of interest in respect of the
notes would be determined by allocating to each day in an
accrual period the ratable portion of interest on the notes that
accrues in the accrual period. The amount of interest on a note
that would accrue in
134
an accrual period would be the product of the comparable yield
(adjusted to reflect the length of the accrual period) and the
adjusted issue price of the note. The adjusted issue price of a
note at the beginning of the first accrual period will be its
issue price and at the beginning of any accrual period
thereafter would be equal to (x) the sum of the issue price
of such note and any interest previously accrued thereon
(disregarding any positive or negative adjustments, described
below) minus (y) the amount of the non-contingent stated
interest paid on the notes and the projected amount of
contingent payments previously made on the notes for previous
accrual periods.
In addition to the interest accruals discussed above, if the
contingent debt regulations were applicable to the notes, a
U.S. holder would be required to recognize interest income
equal to the amount of any excess of actual payments over
projected payments (a positive adjustment) in
respect of a note for a taxable year. For this purpose, the
payments in a taxable year would include the fair market value
of property (including our common stock issued upon conversion)
received in that year. If a U.S. holder receives actual
payments that are less than the projected payments in a taxable
year, the holder would incur a negative adjustment
equal to the amount of such difference. This negative adjustment
would (i) first reduce the amount of interest in respect of
the note that a U.S. holder would otherwise be required to
include in the taxable year and (ii) to the extent of any
excess, would give rise to an ordinary loss equal to that
portion of such excess that does not exceed the excess of
(A) the amount of all previous interest inclusions under
the note over (B) the total amount of the holders net
negative adjustments treated as ordinary losses in prior taxable
years. A net negative adjustment is not subject to the
two-percent floor limitation imposed on miscellaneous deductions
under Section 67 of the Code. Any negative adjustment in
excess of the amounts described in (i) and (ii) above
would be carried forward to offset future interest income in
respect of the notes or to reduce the amount realized on a sale,
exchange, conversion or retirement of the notes.
If the notes were subject to the contingent payment debt
instrument regulations, if a U.S. holders basis in a
note upon its acquisition is different than the notes
adjusted issue price at such time, such holder would be required
to reasonably allocate such difference to daily portions of
interest or projected payments over the remaining term of the
note. If a U.S. holders basis is greater than the
notes adjusted issue price at the time of acquisition, the
allocable portion of such difference would be treated as a
negative adjustment in such period subject to the rules related
to negative adjustments described above. If a
U.S. holders basis is less than the notes
adjusted issue price at the time of acquisition, the allocable
portion of such difference would be treated as a positive
adjustment in such period subject to the rules related to
positive adjustment described above.
If the notes were subject to the contingent payment debt
instrument regulations, the tax consequences of a sale, exchange
or retirement of a note (other than a conversion) would be the
same as had the contingent payment debt instrument regulations
not applied to the notes except that any gain recognized would
be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains, and any
loss would be treated as an ordinary loss to the extent of the
excess of previous interest inclusions over the total negative
adjustments previously taken into account as ordinary loss (and
the balance of any loss would be a capital loss). In addition,
if the notes were subject to the contingent payment debt
instrument regulations, the conversion of a note would be a
taxable event. The amount realized upon conversion would include
the fair market value of our common stock received and any gain
or loss would be recognized as described above in this
paragraph. A U.S. holders basis in our common stock
received upon conversion would equal the then current fair
market value of such stock and the holders holding period
would commence on the day immediately following the date of
conversion.
|
|
|
Distributions on Common Stock |
The amount of any distribution we make in respect of the common
stock will be equal to the amount of cash and the fair market
value, on the date of distribution, of any property distributed.
Generally, distributions will be treated as a dividend to the
extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, then
as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a holders
tax basis in the common stock and thereafter as gain from the
sale or exchange of such common stock as described below. In
general, a dividend distribution to a corporate holder will
qualify for the dividends-received deduction. The
dividends-received deduction is subject to certain holding
period, taxable income, and other limitations.
135
Dividends received by a non-corporate taxpayer during taxable
years before 2009 will be taxed at a maximum rate of 15%,
provided the taxpayer held the stock for more than 60 days
during a specified period of time and certain other requirements
are met. Dividends received by a non-corporate taxpayer for
taxable years after 2008 will be subject to tax at ordinary
income rates.
|
|
|
Sale or Exchange of Common Stock |
Upon the sale or exchange of common stock, a holder generally
will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference
between the amount realized on the sale or exchange and the
holders tax basis in the common stock. However, a
U.S. holder will recognize any gain as ordinary income upon
the sale or exchange of common stock received upon conversion to
the extent of any accrued market discount not previously
recognized as ordinary income by such holder with respect to its
notes. In the case of a holder other than a corporation,
preferential tax rates may apply to such gain if the
holders holding period for the common stock exceeds one
year. Subject to certain limited exceptions, capital losses
cannot be applied to offset ordinary income for United States
federal income tax purposes.
|
|
|
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax |
In general, information reporting requirements will apply to
payments of principal and interest on the notes, payments of
dividends on the common stock and payments of the proceeds of
the sale of the notes or common stock. A backup withholding tax
may apply to such payments if the holder fails to comply with
certain identification requirements. Backup withholding is
currently imposed at a rate of 28%. Any amounts withheld under
the backup withholding rules from a payment to a holder will be
allowed as a credit against such holders United States
federal income tax and may entitle the holder to a refund,
provided that the required information is furnished to the
Internal Revenue Service. Certain taxpayers, including all
corporations, are exempt from the information reporting and
backup withholding rules.
Taxation of Non-U.S. Holders
The rules governing United States federal income taxation of a
non-U.S. holder of the securities are complex and no
attempt will be made herein to provide more than a summary of
such rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult with their own
tax advisors to determine the effect of United States federal,
state and local and foreign tax laws, as well as treaties, with
regard to an investment in the securities, including any
reporting requirements.
Generally, interest income of a non-U.S. holder that is not
effectively connected with a United States trade or business is
subject to a withholding tax at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, a
lower tax rate specified by a treaty). However, interest income
earned on a note by a non-U.S. holder will qualify for the
portfolio interest exemption and therefore will not
be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding
tax, provided that such interest income is not effectively
connected with a United States trade or business of the
non-U.S. holder and provided that (i) the
non-U.S. holder does not actually or constructively own 10%
of more of the total combined voting power of all classes of
Goodyear stock entitled to vote; (ii) the
non-U.S. holder is not a controlled foreign corporation
that is related to us through stock ownership; (iii) the
non-U.S. holder is not a bank which acquired the note in
consideration for an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan
agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business; and
(iv) either (a) the non-U.S. holder certifies to
the payor or the payors agent, under penalties of perjury,
that it is not a United States person and provides its name,
address, and certain other information on a properly executed
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or a suitable
substitute form or (b) a securities clearing organization,
bank or other financial institution that holds customer
securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and
holds the notes in such capacity, certifies to the payor or the
payors agent, under penalties of perjury, that such a
statement has been received from the beneficial owner by it or
by a financial institution between it and the beneficial owner,
and furnishes the payor or the payors agent with a copy
thereof. The applicable Treasury regulations also provide
alternative methods for satisfying the certification
requirements of clause (iv), above.
136
If a non-U.S. holder holds the note through certain foreign
intermediaries or partnerships, such holder and the foreign
intermediary or partnership may be required to satisfy
certification requirements under applicable Treasury regulations.
Except to the extent that an applicable income tax treaty
otherwise provides, a non-U.S. holder generally will be
taxed with respect to interest in the same manner as a
U.S. holder if the interest is effectively connected with a
United States trade or business of the non-U.S. holder.
Effectively connected interest income received or accrued by a
corporate non-U.S. holder may also, under certain
circumstances, be subject to an additional branch
profits tax at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, at a lower
tax rate specified by a treaty). Even though such effectively
connected income is subject to income tax, and may be subject to
the branch profits tax, it is not subject to withholding tax if
the non-U.S. holder delivers a properly executed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or successor form) to the
payor or the payors agent.
In general, a non-U.S. holder will not recognize gain upon
conversion of a note to the extent such holder receives common
stock (except with respect to shares attributable to accrued but
unpaid interest not previously included in the income of the
holder, which would be subject to the rules described under
Interest Income above). To the extent a
non-U.S. holder receives cash upon conversion of a note
(except with respect to cash attributable to accrued but unpaid
interest not previously included in the income of the holder,
which would be subject to the rules described under
Interest Income above), such cash may
give rise to gain that would be subject to the rules described
under Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes;
Sale or Exchange of Common Stock below. If a
non-U.S. holder converts a note and the conversion agent
directs the holder to surrender the note to a financial
institution (as described in Description of the
Notes Exchange in Lieu of Conversion), any
amounts paid by the financial institution will generally be
treated as received from a sale of the note by the
non-U.S. holder as described under Sale,
Exchange or Redemption of Notes; Sale or Exchange of Common
Stock below.
If the notes were subject to the regulations applicable to
contingent payment debt instruments, any gain realized upon a
sale, exchange, retirement or conversion of a note would be
treated as interest income subject to the same rules as
described under Interest Income
above.
|
|
|
Adjustment of Conversion Rate |
Certain adjustments in the conversion rate of the notes may be
treated as a taxable dividend to a non-U.S. holder. See
Taxation of U.S. Holders Adjustment of
Conversion Rate above and
Dividends below.
Distributions we make with respect to the common stock that are
treated as dividends paid, as described above under
Taxation of U.S. Holders Distributions on
Common Stock, to a non-U.S. holder (excluding
dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a
United States trade or business by such holder and are taxable
as described below) will be subject to United States federal
withholding tax at a 30% rate (or a lower rate provided under an
applicable income tax treaty). Except to the extent that an
applicable income tax treaty otherwise provides, a
non-U.S. holder will be taxed in the same manner as a
U.S. holder on dividends paid (or deemed paid) that are
effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade
or business by the non-U.S. holder. If such
non-U.S. holder is a foreign corporation, it may also be
subject to a United States branch profits tax on such
effectively connected income at a 30% rate (or such lower rate
as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty). Even
though such effectively connected dividends are subject to
income tax and may be subject to the branch profits tax, they
will not be subject to United States federal withholding tax if
the holder delivers a properly executed Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI (or successor form) to the payor or the
payors agent.
137
|
|
|
Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes; Sale or Exchange of
Common Stock |
Except as set forth under Conversion of
Notes above, a non-U.S. holder generally will be
subject to United States federal income tax on any gain realized
on the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of a note
or the sale or exchange of common stock if (i) the gain is
effectively connected with a United States trade or business of
the non-U.S. holder, (ii) in the case of a
non-U.S. holder who is an individual, such holder is
present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating
183 days or more during the taxable year of the
disposition, and either (a) such holder has a tax
home in the United States or (b) the disposition is
attributable to an office or other fixed place of business
maintained by such holder in the United States, or (iii) in
the event that we are or have been characterized as a United
States real property holding corporation for U.S. federal
income tax purposes. Goodyear believes that it is not and,
within the past five years, has not been a U.S. real
property holding corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.
Except to the extent that an applicable income tax treaty
otherwise provides, (1) if an individual
non-U.S. holder falls under clause (i) above, such
individual generally will be taxed on the net gain derived from
a sale in the same manner as a U.S. holder and (2) if
an individual non-U.S. holder falls under clause (ii)
above, such individual generally will be subject to a 30% tax on
the capital gain derived from a sale, which may be offset by
certain United States-related capital losses (notwithstanding
the fact that such individual is not considered a resident of
the United States). Individual non-U.S. holders who have
spent (or expect to spend) 183 days or more in the United
States in the taxable year in which they contemplate a
disposition of notes or common stock are urged to consult their
tax advisors as to the tax consequences of such sale. If a
non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation falls under
clause (i), it generally will be taxed on the net gain
derived from a sale in the same manner as a U.S. holder
and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax on
such effectively connected income at a 30% rate (or such lower
rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).
|
|
|
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax |
United States backup withholding tax will not apply to payments
on the notes or payments of dividends on the common stock to a
non-U.S. holder if the requirements described in
clause (iv) of Interest Income
above are satisfied with respect to the holder unless the payor
has actual knowledge or reason to know that the holder is a
United States person. Information reporting requirements may
apply with respect to interest payments on the notes and
dividend payments on the common stock, in which event the amount
of interest or dividends paid and tax withheld (if any) with
respect to each non-U.S. holder will be reported annually
to the Internal Revenue Service.
Information reporting requirements and backup withholding tax
will not apply to any payment of the proceeds of the sale of
notes or common stock effected outside the United States by a
foreign office of a broker as defined in applicable
Treasury regulations (absent actual knowledge or reason to know
that the payee is a United States person), unless such broker
(i) is a United States person as defined in the Code,
(ii) is a foreign person that derives 50% or more of its
gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States, (iii) is a controlled
foreign corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes or (iv) is a foreign partnership with certain
U.S. connections. Payment of the proceeds of any such sale
effected outside the United States by a foreign office of any
broker that is described in the preceding sentence may be
subject to information reporting unless such broker has
documentary evidence in its records that the beneficial owner is
a non-U.S. holder and certain other conditions are met, or
the beneficial owner otherwise establishes an exemption. Payment
of the proceeds of any such sale to or through the United States
office of a broker is subject to information reporting and
backup withholding requirements unless the beneficial owner
satisfies the requirements described in clause (iv) of
Interest Income above or otherwise
establishes an exemption.
The United States federal income tax discussion set forth
above is included for general information only and may not be
applicable depending upon a holders particular situation.
Holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the
tax consequences to them of the ownership and disposition of the
securities, including the tax consequences under state, local,
foreign and other tax laws and the possible effects of changes
in United States federal or other tax laws.
138
Benefit Plan Considerations
If you intend to use the assets of any employee benefit plan,
as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA); any
plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code; any plan,
individual retirement account, or other arrangement that is
subject to provisions of any federal, state, local, foreign, or
other law, rule, or regulation that is similar to provisions of
ERISA and the Code (Similar Laws); or any entity
whose underlying assets include plan assets by reason of a
plans investment in such entity (each of the foregoing is
hereafter referred to as a Plan), directly or
indirectly to purchase any of the notes offered for sale in
connection with this prospectus, you should consult with counsel
on the potential consequences of your investment under the
fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, the prohibited
transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and the provisions
of any Similar Laws.
The following summary relates to Plans that are subject to
ERISA and/or the Code (ERISA Plans) and is based on
the provisions of ERISA and the Code and related guidance in
effect as of the date of this prospectus. This summary is
general in nature and is not intended as a complete summary of
these considerations. Future legislation, court decisions,
administrative regulations or other guidance might change the
requirements summarized in this section. Any of these changes
could be made retroactively and could apply to transactions
entered into before the change is enacted. In addition, benefit
plans that are not subject to ERISA or the Code might be subject
to comparable requirements under applicable Similar Laws.
Fiduciary Responsibilities
ERISA imposes requirements on ERISA Plans and fiduciaries of
ERISA Plans. Under ERISA, fiduciaries generally include persons
who exercise authority or control over ERISA Plan assets, or who
render investment advice with respect to an ERISA Plan for
compensation. Before investing any ERISA Plan assets in any note
offered in connection with this prospectus, you should determine
whether the investment:
|
|
|
1. is permitted under the plan document and other
instruments governing the ERISA Plan; and |
|
|
2. is appropriate for the ERISA Plan in view of its overall
investment policy and the composition and diversification of its
portfolio, taking into account the limited liquidity of the
notes. |
You should consider all factors and circumstances of a
particular investment in the notes, including, for example, the
risk factors discussed in Risk Factors and the fact
that in the future there may not be a market in which you will
be able to sell or otherwise dispose of your interest in the
notes.
We are not making any representation that the sale of any notes
to an ERISA Plan meets the fiduciary requirements for investment
by ERISA Plans generally or any particular ERISA Plan or that
such an investment is appropriate for ERISA Plans generally or
any particular ERISA Plan. We are not providing investment
advice to any ERISA Plan, through this prospectus or otherwise,
in connection with the sale of the notes.
Foreign Indicia of Ownership
ERISA also prohibits ERISA Plan fiduciaries from maintaining the
indicia of ownership of any ERISA Plan assets outside the
jurisdiction of the United States district courts except in
specified cases. Before investing in any note offered for sale
in connection with this prospectus, you should consider whether
the acquisition, holding or disposition of a note would satisfy
such indicia of ownership rules.
Prohibited Transactions
ERISA and the Code prohibit a wide range of transactions
involving ERISA Plans, on the one hand, and persons who have
specified relationships to such ERISA Plans, on the other. These
persons are called parties in interest under ERISA
and disqualified persons under the Code. The
transactions prohibited by ERISA and the Code are called
prohibited transactions. If you are a party in
interest or disqualified person who engages in a prohibited
transaction, or a fiduciary who causes an ERISA Plan to engage
in a prohibited transaction, you may be subject to excise taxes
and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and/or the
139
Code. As a result, if you are considering using ERISA Plan
assets directly or indirectly to invest in any of the notes
offered for sale in connection with this prospectus, you should
consider whether the investment might be a prohibited
transaction under ERISA and/or the Code.
Prohibited transactions may arise, for example, if the notes are
acquired by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we, the initial
purchasers and/or any of our or their respective affiliates, are
parties in interest or disqualified persons. Exemptions from the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code may
apply, depending in part on the type of plan fiduciary making
the decision to acquire a note and the circumstances under which
such decision is made. These exemptions include:
|
|
|
1. Prohibited transaction class exemption
(PTCE) 75-1 (relating to specified transactions
involving employee benefit plans and broker-dealers, reporting
dealers, and banks); |
|
|
2. PTCE 84-14 (relating to specified transactions
directed by independent qualified professional asset managers); |
|
|
3. PTCE 90-1 (relating to specified transactions
involving insurance company pooled separate accounts); |
|
|
4. PTCE 91-38 (relating to specified transactions by
bank collective investment funds); |
|
|
5. PTCE 95-60 (relating to specified transactions
involving insurance company general accounts); and |
|
|
6. PTCE 96-23 (relating to specified transactions
directed by in-house asset managers). |
These exemptions do not, however, provide relief from the
provisions of ERISA and the Code that prohibit self-dealing and
conflicts of interest by plan fiduciaries. In addition, there is
no assurance that any of these class exemptions or any other
exemption will be available with respect to any particular
transaction involving the notes.
Treatment of Insurance Company Assets as Plan Assets
Based on the reasoning of the United States Supreme Court in
John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. v. Harris Trust
and Savings Bank, 510 U.S. 86 (1993), assets in the
general account of an insurance company might be deemed to be
ERISA Plan assets under certain circumstances. If general
account assets are deemed to be ERISA Plan assets, an insurance
companys purchase of the notes with assets of its general
account might be subject to ERISAs fiduciary
responsibility provisions or might give rise to prohibited
transactions under ERISA and the Code. Insurance companies that
intend to use assets of their general accounts to purchase the
notes should consider the potential effects of
Section 401(c) of ERISA, PTCE 95-60, and Department of
Labor Regulations Section 2550.401c-1 on their purchase.
Representations and Warranties
If you acquire or accept a note (or any interest therein)
offered in connection with this prospectus, you will be deemed
to have represented and warranted that either:
|
|
|
1. you have not used the assets directly or indirectly of
any Plan to acquire such note; or |
|
|
2. your acquisition and holding of such note (A) is
exempt from the prohibited transaction restrictions of ERISA and
the Code under one or more prohibited transaction class
exemptions or does not constitute a prohibited transaction under
ERISA and the Code, (B) meets the applicable fiduciary
requirements of ERISA, and (C) does not violate any
applicable Similar Law. |
Any subsequent purchaser of such note will be required to make
the same representations concerning the use of Plan assets to
purchase the note.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL
REPORTING
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting
as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
Companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the
risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate.
In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys
internal control over financial reporting as required by
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management conducted
an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in the
Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
A material weakness is a control deficiency or combination of
control deficiencies that result in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or
detected. As of December 31, 2004 the Company did not
maintain effective controls over certain account reconciliations
and did not maintain adequate segregation of duties at the
application control level in certain information technology
environments. A description of the material weaknesses that
existed as of December 31, 2004, as well as their actual
and potential effect on the presentation of the Companys
consolidated financial statements issued during their existence,
is discussed below.
Account Reconciliations. At December 31,
2004, the Company did not maintain effective control over the
preparation and review of account reconciliations of certain
general ledger accounts. This control deficiency primarily
related to account reconciliations of goodwill, deferred
charges, fixed assets, compensation and benefits, accounts
payable-trade and the accounts of a retail subsidiary in France.
This control deficiency resulted in misstatements that were part
of the restatement of the Companys consolidated financial
statements for 2003, 2002 and 2001, for each of the quarters for
the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the first, second
and third quarters for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a material
misstatement to annual or interim consolidated financial
statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly,
management has determined that this control deficiency
constitutes a material weakness.
Segregation of Duties. At December 31, 2004,
the Company did not maintain effective controls over the
segregation of duties at the application control level in
certain information technology environments as a result of not
restricting the access of certain individuals in both
information technology and finance. These deficiencies existed
in varying degrees in certain business segments within the
revenue and purchasing processes. This control deficiency did
not result in any adjustments to the annual or interim
consolidated financial statements; however, this control
deficiency could result in a material misstatement to annual or
interim consolidated financial statements that would not be
prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined
that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Because of the material weaknesses described above, management
has concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, the Company
did not maintain effective internal controls over financial
reporting, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework.
Managements assessment of the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public
accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included
herein.
F-2
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company
We have completed an integrated audit of The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Companys 2004 consolidated
financial statements and of its internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2004 and audits of its 2003
and 2002 consolidated financial statements in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Our opinions, based on our audits, are
presented below.
Consolidated financial statements and financial statement
schedules
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in
the accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion,
the financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying
index present fairly, in all material respects, the information
set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements. These financial statements
and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the
Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial statement
schedules based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB
Interpretation No. 46R (revised December 2003),
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as of
January 1, 2004.
As described in Note 2, Restatement, the
Company has restated its previously issued consolidated
financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting
Also, we have audited managements assessment, included in
the accompanying Managements Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting, that The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company did not maintain effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, because of the
effects of not maintaining effective controls over certain
account reconciliations and not maintaining adequate segregation
of duties at the application control level in certain
information technology environments, based on criteria
established in Internal Control Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The
Companys management is responsible for maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions
on managements assessment and on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit.
We conducted our audit of internal control over financial
reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An
audit of internal control over financial reporting includes
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control, and performing such other procedures as we consider
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys
internal control
F-3
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of
control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote
likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim
financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The
following material weaknesses have been identified and included
in managements assessment.
Account Reconciliations. At December 31,
2004, the Company did not maintain effective control over the
preparation and review of account reconciliations of certain
general ledger accounts. This control deficiency primarily
related to account reconciliations of goodwill, deferred
charges, fixed assets, compensation and benefits, accounts
payable-trade and the accounts of a retail subsidiary in France.
This control deficiency resulted in misstatements that were part
of the restatement of the Companys consolidated financial
statements for 2003, 2002 and 2001, for each of the quarters for
the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the first, second
and third quarters for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a material
misstatement to annual or interim consolidated financial
statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly,
management has determined that this control deficiency
constitutes a material weakness.
Segregation of Duties. At December 31, 2004,
the Company did not maintain effective controls over the
segregation of duties at the application control level in
certain information technology environments as a result of not
restricting the access of certain individuals in both
information technology and finance. These deficiencies existed
in varying degrees in certain business segments within the
revenue and purchasing processes. This control deficiency did
not result in any adjustments to the annual or interim
consolidated financial statements however, this control
deficiency could result in a material misstatement to annual or
interim consolidated financial statements that would not be
prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined
that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
These material weaknesses were considered in determining the
nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit
of the 2004 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion
regarding the effectiveness of the Companys internal
control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on
those consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, managements assessment that The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company did not maintain effective
internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2004, is fairly stated, in all material
respects, based on criteria established in Internal
Control Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.
Also, in our opinion, because of the effects of the material
weaknesses described above on the achievement of the objectives
of the control criteria, The Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Company has not maintained effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on
criteria established in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Our investments
in companies in which we have the ability to exercise
significant influence over operating and financial policies are
accounted for using the equity method. Accordingly, our share of
the earnings of these companies is included in consolidated net
income (loss). Investments in other companies are carried at
cost.
The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts
of entities consolidated pursuant to the provisions of
Interpretation No. 46 of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board, Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,
as amended by FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December
2003) (collectively, FIN 46). FIN 46
requires companies to consolidate, at fair value, the assets,
liabilities and results of operations of variable interest
entities (VIEs) in which the equity investment at risk is not
sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities
without additional subordinated financial support from other
parties. In addition, FIN 46 requires consolidation of VIEs
in which a company holds a controlling financial interest
through means other than the majority ownership of voting equity.
We applied the provisions of FIN 46, effective July 1,
2003, to VIEs representing lease-financing arrangements with
special purpose entities (SPEs). Effective January 1, 2004,
we applied the provisions of FIN 46 to entities that are
not SPEs. This resulted in the consolidation of South Pacific
Tyres (SPT), a tire manufacturer, marketer and exporter of tires
in Australia and New Zealand, and T&WA, a wheel mounting
operation in the United States which sells to original equipment
manufacturers.
Refer to Note 8 and Note 10.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the consolidated financial statements and related notes to
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its
estimates, including those related to:
|
|
|
|
|
allowance for doubtful accounts, |
|
|
|
recoverability of intangibles and other long-lived assets, |
|
|
|
deferred tax asset valuation allowances, |

Changes in facts and circumstances may alter such estimates and
affect results of operations and financial position in future
periods.
Revenues are recognized when finished products are shipped to
unaffiliated customers, both title and the risks and rewards of
ownership are transferred or services have been rendered and
accepted, and collectibility is reasonably assured. A provision
for sales returns and allowances is recorded at the time of
sale. Appropriate provision is made for uncollectible accounts
based on historical experience and specific circumstances, as
appropriate.

|
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs |
Expenses for transportation of products to customers are
recorded as a component of cost of goods sold.
|
|
|
Research and Development Costs |
Research and development costs include, among other things,
materials, equipment, compensation and contract services. These
costs are expensed as incurred and included as a component of
cost of goods sold. Refer to Note 16.
We offer warranties on the sale of certain of our products and
services and record an accrual for estimated future claims at
the time revenue is recognized. Tire replacement under most of
the warranties we offer is on a prorated basis. Warranty
reserves are based on past claims experience, sales history and
other considerations. Refer to Note 20.
|
|
|
Environmental Cleanup Matters |
We expense environmental expenditures related to existing
conditions resulting from past or current operations and from
which no current or future benefit is discernible. Expenditures
that extend the life of the related property or mitigate or
prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized. We
determine our liability on a site by site basis and record a
liability at the time when it is probable and can be reasonably
estimated. Our estimated liability is reduced to reflect the
anticipated participation of other potentially responsible
parties in those instances where it is probable that such
parties are legally responsible and financially capable of
paying their respective shares of the relevant costs. Our
estimated liability is not discounted or reduced for possible
recoveries from insurance carriers. Refer to Note 20.
We record a liability for estimated legal and defense costs
related to pending general and product liability claims,
environmental matters and workers compensation claims.
Refer to Note 20.
Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are
generally expensed when incurred. Costs incurred under our
cooperative advertising program with dealers and franchisees are
recorded as reductions of sales as related revenues are
recognized. Refer to Note 17.

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 146 (SFAS 146), Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, effective for
all exit or disposal activities initiated after
December 31, 2002. SFAS 146 requires, among other
things, that liabilities for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities be recognized when the liabilities are
incurred, rather than when an entity commits to an exit plan.
SFAS 146 changes the timing of liability and expense
recognition related to exit or disposal activities, but not the
ultimate amount of such expenses. Refer to Note 3.
Income taxes are recognized during the year in which
transactions enter into the determination of financial statement
income, with deferred taxes being provided for temporary
differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax
laws. Refer to Note 14.

Cash and Cash Equivalents/ Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows |
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in the bank
as well as all short term securities held for the primary
purpose of general liquidity. Such securities normally mature
within three months from the date of acquisition. Cash flows
associated with items intended as hedges of identifiable
transactions or events are classified in the same category as
the cash flows from the items being hedged. Unpresented checks
are recorded within accounts payable-trade and totaled
$180.5 million and $139.6 million at December 31,
2004 and 2003, respectively. Cash flows associated with
unpresented checks are classified as financing activities.
|
|
|
Restricted Cash and Restricted Net Assets |
Restricted cash includes the settlement fund balance related to
Entran II litigation as well as cash deposited in support
of trade agreements and performance bonds, and historically has
included cash deposited in support of borrowings incurred by
subsidiaries. At December 31, 2004, cash balances totaling
$152.4 million were subject to such restrictions, compared
to $23.9 million at December 31, 2003.
In certain countries where we operate, transfers of funds into
or out of such countries by way of dividends, loans or advances
are generally or periodically subject to various restrictive
governmental regulations and there may be adverse tax
consequences to such transfers. In addition, certain of our
credit agreements and other debt instruments restrict the
ability of foreign subsidiaries to make distributions of cash.
At December 31, 2004, approximately $220.6 million of
net assets were subject to such restrictions, compared to
approximately $259 million at December 31, 2003.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined using FIFO or the average cost method. Costs include
direct material, direct labor and applicable manufacturing and
engineering overhead. Refer to Note 6.
|
|
|
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets |
Goodwill is recorded when the cost of acquired businesses
exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are
not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually or when
events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have
occurred, as provided in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. We elected to perform the goodwill impairment test
annually as of July 31. The carrying amount of goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives is reviewed
whenever events or circumstances indicated that
F-11
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
revisions might have been warranted. Goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives would be written down to
fair value if considered impaired. Intangible assets with finite
useful lives are amortized to their estimated residual values
over such finite lives, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets. Refer to Note 7.
Investments in marketable equity securities are stated at fair
value. Fair value is determined using quoted market prices at
the end of the reporting period and, when appropriate, exchange
rates at that date. Unrealized gains and losses on marketable
equity securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded
in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), net of tax.
Refer to Notes 8 and 19.
Properties and plants are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method. Additions and
improvements that substantially extend the useful life of
properties and plants, and interest costs incurred during the
construction period of major projects, are capitalized. Repair
and maintenance costs are charged to income in the period
incurred. Properties and plants are depreciated to their
estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives, and
reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Refer
to Notes 9 and 15.

Foreign Currency Translation |
Financial statements of international subsidiaries are
translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at
each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities and a
weighted-average exchange rate for each period for revenues,
expenses, gains and losses. Where the local currency is the
functional currency, translation adjustments are recorded as
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). Where the
U.S. dollar is the functional currency, translation
adjustments are recorded in income.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging
Activities |
To qualify for hedge accounting, hedging instruments must be
designated as hedges and meet defined correlation and
effectiveness criteria. These criteria require that the
anticipated cash flows and/or financial statement effects of the
hedging instrument substantially offset those of the position
being hedged.
Derivative contracts are reported at fair value on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet as both current and long term
Accounts Receivable or Other Liabilities. Deferred gains and
losses on contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded
in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (OCI).
Ineffectiveness in hedging relationships is recorded as Other
(Income) and Expense in the current period.
Interest Rate Contracts Gains and losses on
contracts designated as cash flow hedges are initially deferred
and recorded in OCI. Amounts are transferred from OCI and
recognized in income as Interest Expense in the same period that
the hedged item is recognized in income. Gains and losses on
contracts designated as fair value hedges are recognized in
income in the current period as Interest Expense. Gains and
losses on contracts with no hedging designation are recorded in
income in the current period as Other (Income) and Expense.
Foreign Currency Contracts Gains and losses
on contracts designated as cash flow hedges are initially
deferred and recorded in OCI. Amounts are transferred from OCI
and recognized in income in the same period and on the same line
that the hedged item is recognized in income. Gains and losses
on contracts with no hedging designation are recorded in income
currently as Foreign Currency Exchange.
F-12
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
We do not include premiums paid on forward currency contracts in
our assessment of hedge effectiveness. Premiums on contracts
designated as hedges are recognized in income as Foreign
Currency Exchange over the life of the contract.
Net Investment Hedging Nonderivative
instruments denominated in foreign currencies are used to hedge
net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Gains and losses on
these instruments are deferred and recorded in OCI as Foreign
Currency Translation Adjustment. These gains and losses are only
recognized in income upon the complete or partial sale of the
related investment or the complete liquidation of the investment.
Termination of Contracts Gains and losses
(including deferred gains and losses in OCI) are recognized in
income as Other (Income) and Expense when contracts are
terminated concurrently with the termination of the hedged
position. To the extent that such position remains outstanding,
gains and losses are amortized to Interest Expense or Foreign
Currency Exchange over the remaining life of that position.
Gains and losses on contracts that we temporarily continue to
hold after the early termination of a hedged position, or that
otherwise no longer qualify for hedge accounting, are recognized
in income as Other (Income) and Expense.
Refer to Note 11.
We used the intrinsic value method to measure compensation cost
for stock-based compensation. Accordingly, compensation cost for
stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted
market price of our common stock at the date of the grant over
the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Compensation cost for stock appreciation rights and performance
units is recorded based on the quoted market price of our common
stock at the end of the reporting period. Refer to Note 12.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Staff Position No. 129-1, Disclosure Requirements
under FASB Statement No. 129, Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure, Relating to Contingently Convertible
Securities (FSP 129-1). FSP 129-1 clarified certain
disclosure requirements of the contingent conversion features of
convertible securities. FSP 129-1 was effective immediately upon
its release. Our disclosures related to our $350 million
4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 are in compliance with
the disclosure requirements of FSP 129-1.
The FASB issued, on May 19, 2004, FASB Staff Position
No. FAS 106-2, Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (FSP 106-2). FSP
106-2 provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the new
Medicare prescription drug legislation by employers whose
prescription drug benefits are actuarially equivalent to the
drug benefit under Medicare Part D. It also contains basic
guidance on related income tax accounting, and complex rules for
transition that permit various alternative prospective and
retroactive transition approaches. Based on the proposed
regulations, during 2004 we determined that the overall impact
of the adoption of FSP 106-2 was a reduction of expense in 2004
and in future annual periods of approximately $2 million on
an annual basis. The adoption of FSP 106-2 also reduced our
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately
$19.7 million during 2004. On January 21, 2005 final
regulations were issued. Based on the clarifications provided in
the final regulations, our net periodic postretirement cost is
expected to be lower by approximately $50 million in 2005,
and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is
expected to be reduced by approximately $475 million to
$525 million during 2005.
The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R). Under the provisions of SFAS 123R,
companies are required to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on
the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited
exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during
which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for
the award, usually the vesting period. We must adopt the
provisions of SFAS 123R as of the beginning of the first
interim reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005
(i.e. the third quarter of 2005), with early adoption
encouraged. SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted,
modified, repurchased or cancelled by us after June 30,
2005.
SFAS 123R allowed companies various transition approaches.
We are currently assessing the timing and the transition method
that we will use for the adoption of SFAS 123R. We expect
to recognize additional compensation cost of approximately
$3 million to $4 million per quarter that was not
previously required to be recognized, beginning in the quarter
in which we first implement the provisions of SFAS 123R. We
do not

expect the adoption of SFAS 123R to have a material impact
on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
(the Act) was signed into law. The Act, when fully phased-in,
includes a tax deduction of up to 9 percent of the lesser
of (a) qualified production activities income or
(b) taxable income, both as defined in the Act. In
addition, the Act includes a special one-time tax deduction of
85 percent of certain foreign earnings that are repatriated
no later than in the 2005 tax year. The FASB issued two staff
positions to address the accounting for income taxes in
conjunction with the Act. FASB Staff Position No. 109-1,
Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production
Activities provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004 (FSP 109-1), was effective upon its release on
December 22, 2004. FSP 109-1 requires us to treat the tax
deduction as a special deduction instead of a change in tax rate
that would have impacted our existing deferred tax balances.
Based on current earnings levels, this provision should not have
a material impact on our income tax provision.
FASB Staff Position No. 109-2, Accounting and
Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation
Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004
(FSP 109-2), established accounting and disclosure requirements
for enterprises in the process of evaluating, or completing the
evaluation of, the repatriation provision of the Act. We have
started an evaluation of the effects of the repatriation
provision. We do not anticipate repatriating foreign earnings
under the Act, as it may not provide an overall tax benefit.
However, we do not expect to be able to complete this evaluation
until our 2005 tax position has been more precisely determined
and Congress or the Treasury Department provide additional
clarifying language on key elements of the provision. If we
ultimately determine to elect to repatriate earnings under the
Act, it would not have a material impact on our results of
operations, financial position or liquidity.
The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151). The
provisions of SFAS 151 are intended to eliminate narrow
differences between the existing accounting standards of the
FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) related to inventory costs, in particular, abnormal
amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and
spoilage. SFAS 151 requires that these costs be recognized
as current period charges regardless of the extent to which they
are considered abnormal. The provisions of SFAS 151 are
effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of
SFAS 151 is not expected to have a material impact on our
results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets
an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (SFAS 153).
The provisions of SFAS 153 are intended to eliminate narrow
differences between the existing accounting standards of the
FASB and the IASB related to the value on which the measurement
of nonmonetary exchanges should be based. APB Opinion
No. 29 (APB 29) provides that exchanges of nonmonetary
assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets
exchanged. An exception was provided in APB 29 to measure
exchanges of similar productive assets based on book values.
SFAS 153 eliminates the exception in APB 29 for
similar productive assets and replaces it with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions
of SFAS 153 are effective for nonmonetary exchanges
occurring in periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The
adoption of SFAS 153 is not expected to have a material
impact on our results of operations, financial position or
liquidity.
The EITF issued Topic 03-06, Participating Securities and
the Two Class Method under FASB Statement
No. 128, (EITF 03-06). EITF 03-06 requires
the use of the two-class method of computing EPS for enterprises
with participating securities or multiple classes of common
stock. The provisions of EITF 03-06 are effective for
fiscal periods beginning after March 31, 2004. The adoption
of EITF 03-06 did not have an impact on our EPS.

These consolidated financial statements have been restated to
reflect adjustments to our previously reported quarterly
financial data and annual financial statements included in our
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, as
filed on May 19, 2004, and our previously-filed quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31,
2004, June 30, 2004, and September 30, 2004. The
restatement also affected periods prior to 2003. References to
quarterly amounts are unaudited. All amounts are before tax

Restatements Included in 2003 Form 10-K |
Our 2003 Form 10-K, filed on May 19, 2004, contained a
restatement of our previously-issued quarterly financial data
and annual financial statements. We identified adjustments
through May 19, 2004 which reduced previously reported net
income in 2003 and prior years by a total of
$280.8 million. Of this amount, $56.2 million was
included in 2003 net income and $224.6 million was
included in net income in prior years. The impact on net income
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was
$121.2 million and $50.5 million, respectively. The
impact related to years prior to 2001 was a decrease in retained
earnings of $52.9 million at January 1, 2001. Total
shareholders equity at September 30, 2003 was reduced
by adjustments to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
(OCI) of $183.9 million.
The total reductions in net income of $280.8 million
include $31.3 million recorded in the quarter ended
June 30, 2003; $84.7 million in additional items
previously reflected in the restated financial results included
in the Form 8-K filed on November 20, 2003 and the
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003
filed on November 19, 2003; and $164.8 million in
additional items reflected in the financial statements included
in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003
filed on May 19, 2004.
The restatements initially arose out of an intensified effort to
reconcile certain general ledger accounts in the second and
third quarters of 2003. As a result of our efforts to reconcile
these accounts, we identified various adjustments that were
recorded in the second quarter of 2003 and subsequently
identified additional adjustments that needed to be recorded.
Based on an assessment of the impact of the adjustments,
management and the Audit Committee decided to restate our
previously issued financial statements on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 2003 and for prior periods.
Following the identification of these adjustments,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) advised us in October 2003 that
the failure to identify certain issues that had affected several
years financial statements related to the monitoring and review
of general ledger accounts collectively resulted in a material
weakness in internal controls that required strengthening of
procedures for account reconciliations.
In December 2003, we discovered accounting irregularities in our
European Union Tire business segment. The Audit Committee
initiated a special investigation of these irregularities, and
this investigation was subsequently expanded to other overseas
locations. The investigations identified accounting
irregularities primarily related to earnings management whereby
accrual accounts were improperly adjusted between periods or
expenses were improperly deferred. In the first and second
quarters of 2004, we identified other adjustments. Some of these
adjustments resulted from accounting irregularities including
the understatement of workers compensation liability and
the valuation of real estate received in payment of trade
accounts receivable in Chile. The Audit Committee also initiated
an investigation into these adjustments. As a result of these
investigations, management and the Audit Committee decided that
a further restatement of our financial statements for 2003 and
prior years was necessary.
In May 2004, PwC advised us that the circumstances it previously
identified to us as collectively resulting in a material
weakness had each individually become a material weakness. PwC
advised us that this
F-16
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
determination was due to the number of previously undetected
errors that were attributable to the material weakness
previously identified. A significant portion of these errors
were detected by us. PwC further identified an additional
material weakness resulting from intentional overrides of
internal controls by those in authority, particularly related to
the European Union Tire segment and workers compensation
liability in the United States. These material weaknesses, if
unaddressed, could result in material errors in our financial
statements. In addition, PwC advised us that it had identified
as reportable conditions our need to enhance certain finance
personnels knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal
controls and the need to enhance controls related to the
establishment of bank accounts.
The restatement also included changes to the timing of certain
previously recognized adjustments not arising from account
reconciliations as well as other adjustments identified during
the restatement process.
The adjustments resulting from our initial restatement efforts,
the special overseas accounting and workers compensation
investigations and the 2003 year-end closing process are
described as follows:
Accounting Irregularities. This category includes
adjustments reducing income by a total of $29.0 million
related to periods ending September 30, 2003 and earlier.
Of this amount, $0.4 million of income was included in
income in 2003 and $29.4 million of expense was included in
income in prior years. These adjustments resulted from the
overseas special accounting investigation, the understatement of
our liability for workers compensation payments, the
improper deferral of manufacturing variances in 1998, and
certain adjustments in Chile, including the correction of the
valuation of real estate received in payment for trade accounts
receivable.
Adjustments reducing income by a total of $9.2 million were
included in the restatement as a result of the special
accounting investigation in Europe and Asia. The majority of the
adjustments addressed accrual accounts that were improperly
adjusted between periods or expenses that were improperly
deferred beyond the third quarter of 2003. These adjustments
primarily related to accounts receivable, fixed assets, accounts
payable-trade and other long-term liability accounts that were
improperly adjusted. As part of this investigation, an
adjustment was made to defer a gain on a sale-leaseback
transaction of $3.9 million beyond the third quarter of
2003 that was improperly recognized in prior periods.
The workers compensation adjustments totaled
$17.7 million related to periods ending on
September 30, 2003 and earlier. These adjustments resulted
from an understatement of our potential liability for estimated
payments relating to workers compensation claims by
employees. In the first quarter of 2004, it was noted that
claims arising from one of our United States tire manufacturing
plants were under-reserved. As a result, with the assistance of
the outside administrator we reviewed approximately 85% of the
open claims handled by this administrator at this plant as well
as other facilities and determined that reserves needed to be
increased to accurately value the claims. The under-reserving
resulted in part from improper efforts to reduce, or restrict
the amount of increase in, the reserves for certain
workers compensation claims leading to claims data in our
workers compensation claims database that did not reflect
our probable ultimate exposure. Of the $17.7 million
adjustment, $4.1 million affected income for the nine
months ended 2003, $5.6 million and $2.3 million
affected income for the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively, and $5.7 million affected pre-2001
income. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2003,
$6.2 million was recorded relating to the understatement.
In the second quarter of 1999, we discovered that
$18.1 million of manufacturing variances at one of our
United States tire manufacturing plants had been improperly
deferred from 1998 to 1999. When the matter was discovered in
the second quarter of 1999, we recorded the remaining costs that
had not previously been recorded. As part of this restatement,
we reduced income in 1998 by $18.1 million and increased
income in 1999 by the same amount.
In 2000, our subsidiary in Chile received approximately
13 acres of land in Santiago, Chile, in payment for trade
accounts receivable from one of its Chilean customers. At the
time, the subsidiary recorded the land
F-17

SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
based upon an inappropriate appraisal. In the first quarter of
2004, we had an additional appraisal performed that
appropriately valued the land at a much lower value. The Audit
Committee requested an investigation into the matter, and as a
result, we recorded an adjustment to reduce the valuation of the
land. The adjustment reduced income by $1.5 million in
2000. We also identified other adjustments in Chile whereby
accrual accounts were improperly adjusted between periods or
expenses were improperly deferred. Adjustments of
$0.6 million were recorded related to these accounts.

Account Reconciliations. This category includes
adjustments totaling $144.9 million resulting from the
failure to either reconcile accounts or resolve certain
reconciliation issues in a timely manner. Of this amount,
$42.8 million was included in income in 2003 and
$102.1 million was included in income in prior years. The
most significant adjustments in this category relate to certain
reconciliations for accounts receivable, inventories, fixed
assets, intercompany accounts, prepaid expenses and accounts
payable-trade. Certain of these adjustments were associated with
the integration of a new enterprise resource planning system
(ERP) into our accounting processes beginning in 1999.
The following categories represent a majority of the account
reconciliation adjustments included in the restatement:
|
|
|
A. Interplant. We use an internal system, the Interplant
System, to track the procurement and transfer of fixed assets,
raw materials and spare parts acquired or manufactured by
Goodyear units in the United States for our foreign
manufacturing locations. The $28.8 million Interplant
charge corrects an overstatement of income and assets. The most
significant items in this category are 1) fixed assets and
inventory of $26.0 million which were not properly relieved
from the Interplant System when they were billed to the foreign
manufacturing locations and accordingly now have to be expensed
and 2) the correction of a failure to depreciate
$2.8 million of fixed assets. |
|
|
B. North American Tire (NAT) Receivables. The
adjustment to accounts receivable of $25.0 million is
attributable to amounts erroneously recorded in our general
ledger during the period April 1999 to November 2000. During
this period, we implemented certain modules of an ERP accounting
system. These modules were not properly integrated with existing
systems resulting in an overstatement of sales and accounts
receivable in the general ledger. This overstatement had to be
reversed. Billings to customers and cash collections were
appropriate during this period. |
|
|
C. Engineered Products (EPD). It was not possible to
allocate the amount of this adjustment to specific periods and
accordingly, we recorded substantially all of this adjustment in
the first quarter of 2003. This adjustment includes the
write-off of $21.3 million consisting of $3.7 million
in intercompany |
F-18
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
accounts and $17.6 million related to payables and other
accounts. Several factors relating to our ERP systems
implementation resulted in EPDs inability to locate or
recreate account reconciliations for prior periods. |
|
|
D. Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems, LLC. On
November 1, 2000, we made a contribution, which included
inventory, to Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems, LLC, a
consolidated subsidiary. On a consolidated basis, the inventory
was valued at our historical cost. Upon the sale of the
inventory, consolidated cost of goods sold was understated by
$11.0 million. Additionally, inventory and fixed asset
losses totaling $4.2 million were not expensed as incurred
and were written off in connection with the restatement. |
|
|
E. Fixed Assets. The adjustments to other fixed assets
totaled $13.1 million and related primarily to the
understatement of depreciation expenses and the write-off of
assets previously disposed. |
|
|
F. General and Product Liability. The expense for general
and product claims increased $11.6 million for the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003, and
related to the timing of the recognition of certain liabilities
for Entran II claims. We reached final agreement with one
of our insurers in November 2003, prior to filing the third
quarter 10-Q, and recorded both a receivable and separately a
corresponding liability related to Entran II matters. This
amount was reflected in our amended quarterly report on
Form 10-Q/ A for the period ended September 30, 2003
filed on August 3, 2004, which has subsequently been
restated, as discussed below in Restatements Included in
2004 Form 10-K. |
Adjustments totaling $23.0 million were recorded in OCI in
the 2003 Form 10-K filed on May 19, 2004. An
adjustment was made to record an $18.0 million charge to
deferred derivative losses, with an offsetting credit to
liabilities. This adjustment was associated with three interest
rate swaps and a cross-currency contract for the period March
2001 through March 2003. An adjustment was also made to record a
$6.8 million charge to currency translation, with an
offsetting credit to long-term assets. The adjustment affected
the period from January 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003.
These adjustments were identified in conjunction with the
completion of account reconciliations.
Out-of-Period Adjustments. This category includes
adjustments previously identified but deemed to be immaterial
and recorded in the period we identified the error or in a
subsequent period. Adjustments in this category change the
timing of income and expense items that were previously
recognized. The cumulative amount of out-of-period adjustments
was a decrease to income of $0.6 million. Of this amount,
$0.8 million of income was included in income in 2003 and
$1.4 million of expense was included in income in prior
years.
The most significant item in this category relates to the timing
of the recognition of certain SAG expenses. As a result of the
integration of the new enterprise resource planning system into
our accounting processes beginning in 1999, certain expenses
were incorrectly capitalized in inventory during 2001, 2000 and
1999. In the 2003 Form 10-K, we recorded an adjustment
totaling $16.8 million during 2002 to correct the impact on
prior years. Of this amount, $13.9 million applied to 2001.
Discount Rate Adjustments. In preparing our 2003
Form 10-K, we reassessed the estimate of the discount rate
used in determining the net periodic benefit cost and benefit
obligations for a majority of its domestic pension,
workers compensation and other postretirement benefit
plans. Consistent with that effort and the restatement process,
we determined that it would be appropriate to make similar
reassessments for discount rates for all periods presented. As a
result, the discount rate was revised to 6.75%, 7.25% and 7.50%
from 7.25%, 7.75% and 8.00% for 2003, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. Total reductions to income for 2000-2003 were
$18.9 million, of which $13.0 million decreased income
for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and
$14.9 million and $5.5 million decreased income for
the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Pre-2001 income was increased by $14.5 million as a result
of these adjustments. This change also resulted in a charge to
deferred pension costs in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) (OCI) totaling $150.1 million for the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Additionally, in 2002, we
had
F-19
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
established a valuation allowance against our net Federal and
state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, this restatement
includes a charge to income tax expense of $81.2 million to
provide a valuation allowance against the tax benefit included
in the adjustment to OCI in 2001, and a charge to OCI of
$10.8 million to provide a valuation allowance against the
tax benefit included in the adjustment to OCI in 2002.
Chemical Products Segment. This category primarily
includes adjustments identified as a result of a stand-alone
audit conducted in 2003 of a portion of our Chemical Products
business (which was integrated into our North American Tire
segment on January 1, 2005). The most significant
adjustments in this category relate to the timing of the
recognition of manufacturing variances to reflect the actual
cost of inventories, the fair value adjustment of a hedge for
natural gas, and the correction of intercompany profit
elimination in inventory to eliminate selling and administrative
expenses in inventory. The cumulative effect of Chemical
Products adjustments at September 30, 2003 was a decrease
to income of $7.7 million. Of this amount,
$(0.6) million was included in income in 2003 and
$8.3 million was included in income in prior years.
Tax Adjustments. As a result of the restatement
adjustments included in the 2003 Form 10-K, an additional
Federal and state valuation allowance of $121.6 million
(including the $81.2 million charge for discount rate
adjustments discussed above) was required to be recognized in
2002, the period in which we previously provided for our
valuation allowance. The remaining amounts related to the
correction of errors in the computation of deferred tax assets
and liabilities.
|
|
|
Restatements Included in 2004 Form 10-K |
On November 5, 2004, we announced that we would file an
amended 2003 Form 10-K to include summarized financial
information related to certain investments in affiliates. We
also announced a restatement of our previously reported
financial statements. On December 30, 2004, we announced
that we were working to resolve an accounting issue concerning
an Australian affiliate, South Pacific Tyres (SPT),
and that the resolution of this matter could have an impact on
our previously reported financial results. Although the primary
focus of this effort was to resolve the accounting treatment for
a 10-year supply agreement between the Company and SPT, we also
noted the possibility that other items having an impact on
SPTs prior period financial statements could arise in the
course of the review. On February 25, 2005, we announced
that we would restate our 2004 third quarter Form 10-Q for
additional adjustments identified subsequent to its filing on
November 9, 2004. These consolidated financial statements
reflect the resolution of the SPT accounting matters. The
restatements of our previously issued quarterly and annual
financial statements reflected adjustments that reduced
previously reported net income by $19.8 million, of which
$12.9 million related to SPT, as discussed below. Of this
amount, $5.5 million of income was included in
2004 net income and $25.3 million of expense was
included in net income in prior years. The impact on net income
for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was
$5.3 million and $19.9 million, respectively. The
impact on years prior to 2002 was $0.1 million.
The total reduction in net income of $19.8 million included
$4.6 million of expense for additional items previously
reflected in the restated financial results included in the
Form 10-Q filed on November 9, 2004. Of this amount,
$2.7 million of income was recorded in the quarter ended
March 31, 2004; $0.3 million of income was recorded in
the quarter ended June 30, 2004; and $7.6 million of
expense was recorded in the quarter ended September 30,
2004. Additional items totaling $15.2 million of expense
are reflected in the financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2004.
The adjustments included in the restatements are described as
follows:
|
|
|
SPT. These adjustments reduced income by
$12.9 million and resulted primarily from the recognition
of a contractual obligation related to a supply agreement that
was entered into in 2000 with our 50% owned affiliate in
Australia, South Pacific Tyres, an impairment of certain
property, plant and equipment, the timing of the recognition of
certain rationalization charges and other adjustments |

THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
identified in conjunction with a restatement of SPTs
historical U.S. GAAP financial results. Of this amount, a
benefit of $0.6 million was included in income in 2004 and
charges of $13.5 million were included in income in prior
years. The adjustments included a charge that reduced income by
$6.9 million to recognize payments we made pursuant to a
long term supply agreement as a capital contribution. We made
certain payments to SPT totaling $13.8 million under the
terms of the supply agreement. As part of this restatement, we
are recording 50% of those payments as capital contributions to
SPT and 50% in expense, representing amounts contributed on
behalf of our joint venture partner pursuant to the provisions
of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-12, Accounting
by an Investor for Stock-Based Compensation Granted to Employees
of an Equity Method Investee. We also recorded a charge
that reduced income by $4.3 million for the write-down of
assets at a closed manufacturing facility. |
|
|
General and Product Liability. We identified adjustments
related to general and product liability
discontinued products which increased income by
$9.5 million. Of this amount, $2.2 million was
included in income in 2004 and $7.3 million was included in
income in 2003. These adjustments were the result of the
valuation firms review of additional historical defense
costs data. |
|
|
Account Reconciliations. We identified adjustments
related to account reconciliation items in 2004 which reduced
cumulative income by $4.0 million. Of this amount, a
benefit of $2.5 million was included in income in 2004 and
charges of $6.5 million were included in income in prior
years. These adjustments were primarily comprised of
$4.1 million in net expense related to the write-off of
goodwill associated with certain retail stores previously sold
in France, $2.9 million in expense related to the write-off
of certain deferred charges, $1.8 million in expense
related to a clerical error in recording adjustments to our
workers compensation reserve as part of our restatement as
of December 31, 2003, and $1.5 million in expense
related to the reconciliation of an intra-company account,
partially offset by favorable adjustments related to an
overaccrual for payroll deductions of approximately
$3.3 million, and additional equity in earnings of
affiliates of approximately $1.0 million. Also included in
the adjustments were an offsetting charge and credit of
$2.7 million identified in 2004 that related to a leased
tire asset account. Since it was not possible to allocate these
offsetting $2.7 million adjustments to the applicable
periods, we recorded both adjustments in the first quarter of
2004.We also reassessed our estimate of the discount rate used
in determining net periodic pension cost and benefit obligations
for two minor pension plans, and recorded a $1.3 million
expense related to these two plans. |
Other restatement adjustments included $3.2 million in
expense resulting from the incorrect calculation of depreciation
on certain fixed assets, $2.6 million in expense related to
account reconciliations at a subsidiary in Europe,
$2.0 million in expense resulting from the failure to
record expenses related to bank credit facilities and
$1.8 million in expense from a physical inventory of fixed
assets at a manufacturing facility. Adjustments were also
identified that increased income by $4.8 million related to
the reduction of previously recorded amortization expense
resulting primarily from the revaluation of foreign
currency-denominated goodwill related to a subsidiary in Europe
from 1996 to 2001, $3.8 million for an overstatement of
accounts payable, $2.6 million to reverse a loss on an
asset write-off recorded in the third quarter of 2004 and
$1.3 million related to asset sales at a retail chain in
Europe. Other less significant adjustments reflected in the
restatement amounted to an increase in cumulative income of
$0.4 million.
Additionally, we identified an error related to intercompany
transactions arising from a programming and systems interface
change with a computer program. This error caused sales and cost
of goods sold in North American Tire to be understated by equal
amounts. The restatement reflects an increase in sales and costs
of goods sold during the first quarter of 2004 of
$10.4 million each, and an increase in sales and cost of
goods sold during the second quarter of 2004 of
$10.8 million each to correct this. There was no effect on
net income in any period.
We also identified a misclassification of deferred income tax
assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at
December 31, 2003. We had recorded certain deferred tax
assets and liabilities on a gross
F-21
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
basis rather than netting short-term deferred tax assets with
short-term deferred tax liabilities and long-term deferred tax
assets with long-term deferred tax liabilities. The
misclassification overstated total assets and total liabilities
by $356.7 million beginning at December 31, 2003. This
had no impact on shareholders equity, net income, or cash
flows.
We also identified an adjustment to OCI totaling
$5.8 million, primarily related to the revaluation of
various foreign currency-denominated goodwill accounts and
certain other accounts. This revaluation error resulted in
goodwill and minority equity being understated and
shareholders equity (deficit) being overstated by
approximately $40 million, $31 million and
$9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2003. The
U.S. dollar value of these accounts increased since the
time the goodwill was initially recorded, due primarily to the
recent strengthening of the euro.
Tax Adjustments. We identified an additional adjustment
to our net deferred tax valuation allowance that reduced net
income by $11.5 million. The remaining tax adjustments
relate to the correction of errors in the computation of
deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Certain 2004 quarterly financial information has also been
restated in these consolidated financial statements to reflect
adjustments to our previously reported financial information on
Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2004,
June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004. Refer to
Supplementary Data (Unaudited) for further information. We
intend to file amended Form 10-Qs for these quarterly
periods of 2004 as expeditiously as possible.

2004 rationalizations consisted primarily of warehouse,
manufacturing and sales and marketing associate reductions in
Engineered Products, a farm tire manufacturing consolidation in
European Union Tire, manufacturing, sales, research and
development and administrative associate reductions in North
American Tire, and administrative associate reductions in
European Union Tire and corporate functional groups.
In 2004, net charges were recorded totaling $55.6 million
($52.0 million after tax or $0.27 per share). The net
charges included reversals of $39.2 million
($32.2 million after tax or $0.17 per share) related
to reserves from rationalization actions no longer needed for
their originally intended purpose, and new charges of
$94.8 million ($84.2 million after tax or
$0.44 per share). Included in the $94.8 million of new
charges are $77.4 million for plans initiated in 2004, as
described above. Approximately 1,400 associates will be released
under programs initiated in 2004, of which approximately 640
were released by December 31, 2004. The costs of the 2004
actions consisted of $40.1 million related to future cash
outflows, primarily for associate severance costs, including
$31.9 million in non-cash pension curtailments and
postretirement benefit costs and

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
$5.4 million for noncancelable lease costs and other exit
costs. Costs in 2004 also included $16.3 million related to
plans initiated in 2003, consisting of $13.7 million of
noncancelable lease costs and other exit costs and
$2.6 million of associate severance costs. The reversals
are primarily the result of lower than initially estimated
associate severance costs of $34.9 million and lower
leasehold and other exit costs of $4.3 million. Of the
$34.9 million of associate severance cost reversals,
$12.0 million related to previously approved plans in
Engineered Products that were reorganized into the 2004
warehouse, manufacturing, and sales and marketing associate
reductions.
In 2004, $75.0 million was incurred primarily for associate
severance payments, $34.6 million for non-cash pension
curtailments and postretirement benefit costs, and
$22.9 million was incurred for noncancelable lease costs
and other costs. The remaining accrual balance for all programs
was $67.6 million at December 31, 2004, substantially
all of which is expected to be utilized within the next
12 months.
Accelerated depreciation charges totaling $10.4 million
were recorded in 2004 for fixed assets that will be taken out of
service in connection with certain rationalization plans
initiated in 2003 and 2004 in European Union Tire, Latin
American Tire and Engineered Products. During 2004,
$7.7 million was recorded as CGS and $2.7 million was
recorded as SAG.
The following table summarizes, by segment, the total charges
expected to be recorded and the total charges recorded in 2004,
related to the new plans initiated in 2004:

A significant portion of the additional restructuring costs not
yet recorded is expected to be recorded in the first quarter of
2005.
In 2003, net charges were recorded totaling $291.5 million
($267.1 million after tax or $1.52 per share). The net
charges included reversals of $15.7 million
($14.3 million after tax or $0.08 per share) related
to reserves from rationalization actions no longer needed for
their originally intended purpose, and new charges of
$307.2 million ($281.4 million after tax or
$1.60 per share). The 2003 rationalization actions
consisted of manufacturing, research and development,
administrative and retail consolidations in North America,
Europe and Latin America. Of the $307.2 million of new
charges, $174.8 million related to future cash outflows,
primarily associate severance costs, and $132.4 million
related primarily to non-cash special termination benefits and
pension and retiree benefit curtailments. Approximately 4,400
associates will be released under the programs initiated in
2003, of which approximately 2,700 were exited in 2003 and
approximately 1,500 were exited during 2004. The reversals are
primarily the result of lower than initially estimated
associate-related payments of approximately $12 million,
favorable sublease contract signings in the European Union of
approximately $3 million and lower contract termination
costs in the United States of approximately $1 million.
These reversals do not represent changes in the plans as
originally approved by management.
As part of the 2003 rationalization program, we closed our
Huntsville, Alabama tire facility in the fourth quarter of 2003.
Of the $307.2 million of new rationalization charges in
2003, approximately $138 million related to the Huntsville
closure and were primarily for associate-related costs,
including severance, special termination benefits and pension
and retiree benefit curtailments. The Huntsville closure also
resulted in

charges to CGS of approximately $35 million for asset
impairments and $85 million for accelerated depreciation
and the write-off of spare parts. In addition, 2003 CGS included
charges totaling approximately $8 million to write-off
construction in progress related to the research and development
rationalization plan, and approximately $5 million for
accelerated depreciation on equipment taken out of service at
European Union Tires facility in Wolverhampton, England.
The following table summarizes, by segment, the total charges
expected to be recorded, the new charges recorded in 2004, the

A significant portion of the additional restructuring costs not
yet recorded is expected to be recorded in the first quarter of
2005.
In 2002, net charges were recorded totaling $5.5 million
($6.4 million after tax or $0.03 per share). The net
charges included reversals of $18.0 million
($14.3 million after tax or $0.09 per share) for
reserves from rationalization actions no longer needed for their
originally intended purpose. In addition, new charges were
recorded totaling $26.5 million ($23.0 million after
tax or $0.14 per share) and other credits were recorded
totaling $3.0 million ($2.3 million after tax or
$0.02 per share). The 2002 rationalization actions
consisted of a manufacturing facility consolidation in Europe,
the closure of a mold manufacturing facility and a plant
consolidation in the United States, and administrative
consolidations. Of the $26.5 million charge,
$24.2 million related to future cash outflows, primarily
associate severance costs, and $2.3 million related to a
non-cash write-off of equipment taken out of service in
Engineered Products and North American Tire.

Net losses on asset sales in 2004 were $4.2 million. Asset
sales included a gain of $13.3 million ($10.3 million
after tax or $0.05 per share) on the sale of assets in
North American Tire, European Union Tire and Engineered
Products. In addition, a loss of $17.5 million
($17.8 million after tax or $0.09 per share) was

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
recorded on the sale of corporate assets and assets in North
American Tire and European Union Tire, including a loss of
$14.5 million on the write-down of assets of our natural
rubber plantations in Indonesia.
Net losses on asset sales in 2003 were $25.1 million. Asset
sales included a loss of $17.6 million ($8.9 million
after tax or $0.05 per share) on the sale of
20,833,000 shares of common stock of Sumitomo Rubber
Industries, Ltd. A loss of $14.4 million
($13.2 million after tax or $0.08 per share) was
recorded in 2003 on the sale of assets in Engineered Products,
North American Tire and European Union Tire. A gain of
$6.9 million ($5.8 million after tax or $0.04 per
share) was recorded in 2003 resulting from the sale of assets in
Asia/ Pacific Tire, Latin American Tire and European Union Tire.
Net gains on asset sales in 2002 were $28.0 million
($23.7 million after tax or $0.14 per share), and
resulted from the sale of assets in Latin American Tire,
Engineered Products and European Union Tire. The write-off of a
miscellaneous investment of $4.1 million ($4.1 million
after tax or $0.02 per share) was also included in Other
(income) and expense in 2002.
Interest income consisted primarily of amounts earned on cash
deposits. The increase in 2004 and 2003 was due primarily to
higher levels of cash deposits in the United States. At
December 31, 2004, significant concentrations of cash, cash
equivalents and restricted cash held by our international
subsidiaries included the following amounts:
|
|
|
|
|
$590.3 million or 27.8% in Europe, primarily Western
Europe, ($650.8 million (as restated) or 41.4% at
December 31, 2003), |
|
|
|
$197.8 million or 9.3% in Latin America, primarily Brazil,
($176.4 million or 11.2% at December 31,
2003), and |
|
|
|
$140.1 million or 6.6% in Asia ($116.8 million or 7.4%
at December 31, 2003). |
Financing fees and financial instruments included amortization
of debt issuance costs and commitment fees, debt refinancing
fees and accounts receivable sales fees totaling
$116.5 million, $99.4 million and $48.4 million
in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in financing
fees and financial instruments is due to the costs incurred in
connection with the restructuring and refinancing of our bank
credit and receivables securitization facilities, including
$20.5 million of deferred costs written-off in 2004 in
connection with our refinancing activities in 2004. Financing
fees and financial instruments included $45.6 million in
2003 related to new facilities. Refer to Note 11.
General and product liability-discontinued products charges were
$52.7 million, $138.1 million (as restated) and
$33.8 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These
charges related to asbestos personal injury claims and for
liabilities related to Entran II claims, net of insurance
recoveries. Of the $52.7 million of net expense recorded in
2004, $41.4 million related to Entran II claims
($141.4 million of expense and $100.0 million of
insurance recoveries) and $11.3 million related to asbestos
claims ($13.0 million of expense and $1.7 million of
probable insurance recoveries). Of the $138.1 million (as
restated) of net expense recorded in 2003, $180.4 million
related to Entran II claims ($255.4 million of expense
and $75.0 million of probable insurance recoveries) and
$(42.3) million (as restated) related to asbestos claims
($24.3 million of expense and $66.6 million of
probable insurance recoveries). Of the $33.8 million of net
expense recorded in 2002, $9.8 million related to
Entran II claims and $24.0 million related to asbestos
claims. We did not record any probable insurance recoveries in
2002.
Insurance fire loss deductible included a charge of
$11.7 million ($11.6 million after tax or
$0.07 per share) related to fires at our facilities in
Germany, France and Thailand. During 2004, approximately
$36 million in insurance recoveries were received related
to these fire losses. At December 31, 2004 we had recorded
an insurance receivable of approximately $16.2 million to
recover additional expenses associated with the fire losses in
Germany. We did not record any insurance recoveries in excess of
the net book value of the assets destroyed (less the insurance
deductible limits) and other costs incurred. Additional insurance

recoveries in future periods will be accounted for pursuant to
FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for
Contingencies.
Environmental insurance settlement in 2004 included a benefit of
$156.6 million resulting from a settlement with certain
insurance companies. We will receive $159.4 million
($156.6 million plus imputed interest of $2.8 million)
in installments in 2005 and 2006 in exchange for releasing the
insurers from certain past, present and future environmental
claims. A significant portion of the costs incurred by us
related to these claims had been recorded in prior years.
Miscellaneous items included financial transaction taxes in
Latin America of $7.5 million, $12.6 million and
$7.9 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Costs
related to the exploration of a possible sale of Chemical
Products totaling $3.5 million and $3.4 million were
included in 2004 and 2003, respectively. A $6.1 million
charge for the adoption of FIN 46 for lease-financing SPEs
was recorded in 2003. Charges of $7.2 million for the
write-off of miscellaneous investments were recorded in 2002.

Accounts and Notes Receivable included non-trade
receivables totaling $436.0 million and $340.6 million
at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. These amounts
related to an environmental insurance settlement in 2004,
derivative financial instruments, general and product liability
insurance and various other items.
The allowance for doubtful accounts represents an estimate of
the losses expected from our accounts and notes receivable
portfolio. The level of the allowance is based on many
quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical loss
experience by region, portfolio duration, economic conditions
and credit risk quality. The adequacy of the allowance is
assessed quarterly.
Prior to April 1, 2003, we maintained a program for the
continuous sale of substantially all of our domestic trade
accounts receivable to Wingfoot A/ R LLC, a wholly-owned limited
liability subsidiary company that was a bankruptcy-remote
special purpose entity. A similar program also was maintained
for substantially all of the trade accounts receivable of our
wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada. The results of operations and
financial position of Wingfoot A/ R LLC were not included in our
consolidated financial statements as provided by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities. This program was
terminated on April 1, 2003. Accordingly, accounts
receivable sold under this program are now recognized on our
Consolidated Balance Sheet. Our consolidated debt increased by
$577.5 million at April 1, 2003 in connection with the
termination of this program.

program:

Certain of our international subsidiaries had established
accounts receivable continuous sales programs whereunder these
subsidiaries may receive proceeds from the sale of certain of
their receivables to SPE affiliates of certain banks. These
subsidiaries retained servicing responsibilities. At
December 31, 2004, there were no amounts utilized under
these programs. The value in U.S. dollars of which these
international subsidiaries could borrow was $104.2 million

of these international subsidiaries did not utilize an SPE at
December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2004, the value in
U.S. dollars of which these international subsidiaries
could borrow was $4.8 million, compared to
$18.6 million at December 31, 2003. The total amount
of financing provided from all domestic and international
agreements worldwide was $4.8 million at December 31,

The net carrying amount of goodwill increased by approximately
$45 million during 2004 due to currency translation,
approximately $5 million due to the consolidation of SPT
and T&WA and approximately $12 million due to the net
affect of acquisitions and divestitures. Refer to Notes 1,
8 and 10.

THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The carrying amount of intangible assets with indefinite lives
totaled $116.2 million and $110.0 million (as
restated) at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. This
amount is comprised of the right to use certain brand names and
trademarks on a non-competitive basis related to our global
alliance with Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd.
Amortization expense for intangible assets totaled
$4.5 million, $4.8 million and $4.3 million in
2004, 2003, 2002, respectively. We estimate that annual
amortization expense related to intangible assets will range
from approximately $3 million to $4 million during
each of the next five years and the weighted average remaining
amortization period is approximately 18 years.
The net carrying amount of goodwill allocated by reporting unit,
and changes during 2004, follow:

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities |
As discussed in Note 1, FIN 46 became effective
immediately for all VIEs created after January 31, 2003,
and required certain disclosures in financial statements issued
after January 31, 2003, about the nature, purpose, size and
activities of all VIEs covered by its provisions, and their
maximum exposure to loss. FIN 46 also required companies to
consolidate VIEs created before February 1, 2003, in
financial statements for periods ending after June 15,
2003. During 2003, the FASB delayed the required implementation
date of FIN 46 for entities that are not special purpose
entities (SPEs) until the first reporting period ending after
March 15, 2004.
F-34
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
We applied the provisions of FIN 46, effective July 1,
2003, to VIEs representing lease-financing arrangements with
SPEs. We were a party to lease agreements with several unrelated
SPEs that are VIEs as defined by FIN 46. The agreements
were related to certain North American distribution facilities
and certain corporate aircraft. The assets, liabilities and
results of operations of these SPEs were consolidated in the
third quarter of 2003. Refer to Note 10.
We had evaluated the impact of FIN 46 for entities that are
not SPEs and deferred, until the first quarter of 2004, the
application of FIN 46 to two previously unconsolidated
investments. South Pacific Tyres (SPT), a tire manufacturer,
marketer and exporter of tires in Australia and New Zealand, and
T&WA, a wheel mounting operation in the United States which
sells to original equipment manufacturers, were consolidated
effective January 1, 2004. This consolidation was treated
as a non-cash transaction on the Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows with the exception of approximately $24 million of
cash and cash equivalents from SPT and T&WA, which was
included in Other assets and liabilities in the Operating
activities section of the statement. The consolidation of SPT
and T&WA resulted in an increase in total assets of
approximately $371 million and total liabilities of
approximately $373 million. Net sales for SPT and T&WA
in 2004 were $707.4 million and $523.8 million,
respectively, and were included in our consolidated net sales
for 2004. SPT recorded net income of $0.4 million in 2004
and T&WA recorded a net loss of $2.7 million in 2004.
In connection with the consolidation of SPT and T&WA, we
recorded approximately $5 million of goodwill.
Our parent company (Goodyear) and certain of our subsidiaries
have guaranteed certain debt obligations of SPT and T&WA.
Goodyear, Goodyear Australia PTY Limited (a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Goodyear) and certain subsidiaries of Goodyear
Australia PTY Limited guarantee SPTs obligations under
credit facilities in the amount of $74.2 million. The
guarantees are unsecured. Assets of certain subsidiaries of SPT
secure the SPT credit facilities. At December 31, 2004, the
carrying amount of the secured assets of these subsidiaries was
$224.4 million, consisting primarily of accounts
receivable, inventory and fixed assets. Goodyear has guaranteed
an industrial revenue bond obligation of T&WA in the amount
of $5.4 million. The guarantee is unsecured.

Investments and Acquisitions |
We owned 3,421,305 shares of Sumitomo Rubber Industries,
Ltd. (SRI) at December 31, 2004 and 2003 (the
Sumitomo Investment). The fair value of the Sumitomo
Investment was $32.1 million and $18.6 million at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, and was included
in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have
classified the Sumitomo Investment as available-for-sale, as
provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities. Accordingly, gains and losses
resulting from changes in the fair value of the Sumitomo
Investment are deferred and reported on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). At
December 31, 2004, OCI included a gross unrealized holding
gain on the Sumitomo Investment of $15.6 million
($17.0 million after tax), compared to $2.1 million
($3.6 million after tax) at December 31, 2003.
During 2003, we sold 20,833,000 shares of the Sumitomo
Investment for approximately $83 million and recorded a
loss of $17.6 million ($8.9 million after tax or
$0.05 per share). We had acquired a 10% ownership of SRI as
part of the 1999 global alliance between the two companies. We
now hold approximately 1.3% of SRIs outstanding shares.
During 2002, we acquired additional shares of Sava Tires Joint
Venture Holding d.o.o. (Sava Tire), a tire
manufacturing subsidiary in Slovenia, at a cost of
$38.9 million. Our ownership of this subsidiary increased
from 60% to 80%. During 2003, we transferred our 80% ownership
of Sava Tire to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V.
(GDTE), a 75% owned subsidiary, for
$282.3 million. In June 2004, we exercised our call option,
purchased the remaining outstanding 20% ownership interest of
Sava Tires for approximately $52 million, and sold it to
GDTE for approximately $85.2 million. As a result of these
transactions, we now
F-35
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
indirectly own 75% of Sava Tire, with GDTEs joint venture
partner, SRI, owning the remaining 25%. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Pursuant
to these transactions, we recorded additions to goodwill of
$0.7 million in 2004 and $6.8 million in 2002. The
purchase price allocation has been completed at
December 31, 2004.
In July 2004, GDTE completed the acquisition of the remaining
50% outstanding ownership interest of Däckia, a major
tire retail group in Sweden, for approximately $10 million.
We originally acquired a 50% stake in 1995. As a result of this
transaction, we now indirectly own 75% of Däckia, with SRI
owning the remaining 25%. The acquisition was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. The asset valuations
have been completed and the purchase price has been allocated.
Pursuant to the purchase and resulting consolidation, we
recorded an addition to goodwill of $13.5 million. We also
recorded intangible assets, including customer relationships,
trademarks and partner relationships, totaling $8.2 million.
In 2003, we purchased Arkansas Best Corporations remaining
19% ownership interest in Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems, LLC,
a joint venture company formed by Goodyear and Arkansas Best
Corporation to sell and service commercial truck tires, provide
retread services and conduct related business, for
$71.2 million.
Dividends received from our consolidated subsidiaries were
$155.1 million, $219.0 million and $113.1 million
in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Dividends received from
our unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity
method were $3.4 million, $2.8 million and
$1.6 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
|
|
|
Non-cash Investing and Financing Activities |
In 2002, we issued 11.3 million shares of our Common Stock
from Treasury and recorded $137.9 million as a contribution
to certain domestic pension plans.

We enter into leases primarily for vehicles, data processing
equipment and our wholesale and retail distribution facilities
under varying terms and conditions. A portion of our domestic
retail distribution network is sublet to independent dealers.
Many of the leases require us to pay taxes assessed against
leased property and the cost of insurance and maintenance.
While substantially all subleases and some operating leases are
cancellable for periods beyond 2005, management expects that in
the normal course of its business nearly all of its independent
dealer distribution network will be actively operated. As leases
and subleases for existing locations expire, we evaluate such
leases and either renew the leases or substitute another more
favorable retail location.

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, we were a party to lease
agreements with certain unrelated SPEs that are VIEs as defined
by FIN 46. The agreements were related to certain North
American distribution facilities and, in 2003, certain corporate
aircraft. The corporate aircraft agreements were terminated
during 2004. At December 31, 2004, the carrying amount of
these North American distribution facilities totaled
$26.8 million. Refer to Note 11.
The assets, liabilities and results of operations of these SPEs
were consolidated effective July 1, 2003, pursuant to the
provisions of FIN 46. This resulted in an increase in Total
Liabilities of approximately $34 million and an increase in
Properties and Plants of approximately $28 million. We also
recorded a $6.1 million charge in Other (Income) and
Expense due to the adoption of FIN 46 for these SPEs.
Financing costs related to these SPEs were included in SAG prior
to July 1, 2003. Subsequent to that date, the financing
costs were recognized as Interest Expense. Refer to Notes 1
and 8.

The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices or
discounted future cash flows. The increase in the carrying
amount and fair value from 2003 was due primarily to the
issuance of the 11% Notes due 2011 and the
4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034. The fair value
exceeded the carrying amount at December 31, 2004 due
primarily to an improvement in our credit spreads. The fair
value of the
65/8% Notes
due 2006 was hedged by floating rate swap contracts with
notional principal amounts totaling $200 million at
December 31, 2004 and 2003.
F-39
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The fair value of our variable rate debt approximated its
carrying amount at December 31, 2004 and 2003.
The principal and interest of the Swiss franc bonds due 2006
were hedged by currency swap agreements at December 31,
2004 and 2003, as discussed below.
The Euro Notes, Swiss franc bonds, Convertible Senior Notes and
other Notes have an aggregate face amount of $3.10 billion
and are reported net of unamortized discounts totaling
$3.7 million ($1.96 billion and $1.7 million,
respectively, at December 31, 2003).
At December 31, 2004, the floating rate term loans due 2005
and 2006 and Notes due 2011 totaled $2.05 billion and were
variable rate agreements based upon LIBOR plus a fixed spread.
The weighted-average interest rate on amounts outstanding under
these agreements was 6.87%. At December 31, 2003,
$1.78 billion was outstanding at a weighted-average
interest rate of 5.17%. The interest rate on $325 million
principal amount of these borrowings was hedged by fixed rate
swap contracts at December 31, 2003.
At December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings outstanding
under the revolving credit facilities due 2005 and 2006. At
December 31, 2003, amounts outstanding were comprised of
$839.0 million of variable rate agreements based upon LIBOR
plus a fixed spread, with a weighted-average interest rate of
5.15%.
The five-year pan-European accounts receivable facility due 2009
involves the twice-monthly sale of substantially all of the
trade accounts receivable of certain subsidiaries of GDTE to a
bankruptcy-remote French company controlled by one of the
liquidity banks in the facility. At December 31, 2004,
$224.7 million was outstanding with a weighted-average
Euribor-based interest rate of 5.16%.
At December 31, 2004, amounts related to VIEs represented
long term debt of SPT and T&WA, and amounts owed under
lease-financing arrangements with SPEs. At December 31,
2004, we were a party to lease agreements with certain SPEs that
are VIEs as defined by FIN 46. The weighted-average rate in
effect under the terms of these loans was 6.41%. The agreements
were related to certain North American distribution facilities
at December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2003, these
amounts represented lease-financing arrangements with SPEs
related to North American distribution facilities and corporate
aircraft.
Other domestic and international debt at December 31, 2004,
consisted of fixed and floating rate loans denominated in
U.S. dollars and other currencies that mature in 2005-2023.
The weighted-average interest rate in effect under these loans
was 6.15% at December 31, 2004, compared to 6.25% at
December 31, 2003.

$350 Million Convertible Senior
Note Offering |
On July 2, 2004, we completed an offering of
$350 million aggregate principal amount of
4.00% convertible senior notes due June 15, 2034. The
notes are convertible into shares of our common stock initially
at a conversion rate of 83.07 shares of common stock per
$1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equal to an initial
conversion price of $12.04 per share. The proceeds from the
notes were used to repay temporarily a revolving credit facility
and for working capital purposes.
|
|
|
$650 Million Senior Secured Notes |
On March 12, 2004, we completed a private offering of
$650 million of senior secured notes, consisting of
$450 million of 11% senior secured notes due 2011 and
$200 million of floating rate notes due 2011, which accrue
interest at LIBOR plus 8%. The proceeds of the notes were used
to prepay the remaining outstanding amount under the
then-existing U.S. term loan facility, permanently reduce
commitments under the then-existing revolving credit facility by
$70 million, and for general corporate purposes. The notes
are guaranteed by the same subsidiaries that guarantee the
U.S. deposit-funded credit facility and asset-based credit
facilities. The notes are secured by perfected fourth-priority
liens on the same collateral securing those facilities (pari-
F-40
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
passu with the liens on that domestic collateral securing the
parent guarantees of the European revolving credit facility).
We have the right to redeem the fixed rate notes in whole or in
part from time to time on and after March 1, 2008. The
redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date, would be 105.5%, 102.75%, and 100.0% on and
after March 1, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. We may
also redeem the fixed rate notes prior to March 1, 2008 at
a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a
make-whole premium. We have the right to redeem the floating
rate notes in whole or in part from time to time on and after
March 1, 2008. The redemption price, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date, would be 104.0%, 102.0%,
and 100.0% on and after March 1, 2008, 2009 and 2010,
respectively. In addition, prior to March 1, 2007, we have
the right to redeem up to 35% of the fixed and floating rate
notes with net cash proceeds from one or more public equity
offerings. The redemption price would be 111% for the fixed rate
notes and 100% plus the then applicable floating rate for the
floating rate notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date.
The indenture for the senior secured notes contains restrictions
on our operations, including limitations on:
|
|
|
|
|
incurring additional indebtedness or liens, |
|
|
|
paying dividends, making distributions and stock repurchases, |
|
|
|
making investments, |
|
|
|
selling assets, and |
|
|
|
merging and consolidating. |
The deposit-funded credit facility also limits the amount of
capital expenditures we may make to $500 million in 2004,
2005 and 2006, and $375 million in 2007 (through
September 30, 2007). The amounts of permitted capital
expenditures may be increased by the amount of net proceeds
retained by us from permitted asset sales and equity and debt
issuances. In addition, unused capital expenditures may be
carried over into the next year. As a result of certain
activities, the capital expenditure limit for 2004 was increased
from $500 million to approximately $1.10 billion. Our
capital expenditures for 2004 totaled $518.6 million. The
capital expenditure carryover from 2004 was $603.0 million,
and in the absence of any other transactions, the limit for 2005
will be $1.10 billion.
In the event that the senior secured notes have a rating equal
to or greater than Baa3 from Moodys and BBB-from Standard
and Poors, a number of those restrictions will not apply,
for so long as those credit ratings are maintained.

$645 Million Senior Secured U.S. Term
Facility |
At December 31, 2003, the balance due on the U.S. term
facility was $583.3 million due to a partial pay-down of
the balance during the second quarter of 2003. On March 12,
2004, all outstanding amounts under the facility were prepaid
and the facility was retired. The U.S. term facility had a
maturity date of April 30, 2005.

$650 Million Senior Secured European
Facilities |
Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. and subsidiaries
(GDTE) is party to a $250 million senior
secured revolving credit facility and a $400 million senior
secured term loan facility (collectively, the European
facilities). These facilities mature on April 30,
2005. As of December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the revolving credit facility and
$400 million outstanding under the term facility.
F-41
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
GDTE pays an annual commitment fee of 75 basis points on
the undrawn portion of the commitments under the European
revolving facility. GDTE may obtain loans under the European
facilities bearing interest at LIBOR plus 400 basis points
or an alternative base rate (the higher of JPMorgans prime
rate or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points) plus
300 basis points.
The collateral pledged under the European facilities includes:
|
|
|
|
|
all of the capital stock of Goodyear Finance Holding S.A. and
certain subsidiaries of GDTE, |
|
|
|
a perfected first-priority interest in and mortgages on
substantially all the tangible and intangible assets of GDTE in
the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France and Germany, including
certain accounts receivable, inventory, real property,
equipment, contract rights and cash and cash accounts, but
excluding certain accounts receivable used in securitization
programs, and |
|
|
|
with respect to the European revolving credit facility, a
perfected fourth priority interest in and mortgages on the
collateral pledged under the deposit-funded credit facility and
the asset-based facilities, except for real estate other than
our U.S. corporate headquarters. |
Consistent with the covenants applicable to Goodyear in the
U.S. facilities, the European facilities contain certain
representations, warranties and covenants applicable to GDTE and
its subsidiaries which, among other things, limit GDTEs
ability to:
|
|
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness (including a limit
of 275 million
in accounts receivable transactions), |
|
|
|
make investments, |
|
|
|
sell assets beyond specified limits, |
|
|
|
pay dividends, and |
|
|
|
make loans or advances to Goodyear companies that are not
subsidiaries of GDTE. |
The European facilities also contain certain additional
covenants identical to those in the U.S. facilities. The
European facilities also limit the amount of capital
expenditures that GDTE may make to $100 million in 2005
(through April 30).
Subject to the provisions in the European facilities and
agreements with our joint venture partner, Sumitomo Rubber
Industries, Ltd. (SRI), GDTE is permitted to transfer funds to
Goodyear. These provisions and agreements include limitations on
loans and advances from GDTE to Goodyear and a requirement that
transactions with affiliates be consistent with past practices
or on arms-length terms.
Any amount outstanding under the term facility is required to be
prepaid with:
|
|
|
|
|
75% of the net cash proceeds of all sales and dispositions of
assets by GDTE and its subsidiaries greater than
$5 million, and |
|
|
|
50% of the net cash proceeds of debt and equity issuances by
GDTE and its subsidiaries. |
The U.S. and European facilities can be used, if necessary, to
fund ordinary course of business needs, to repay maturing debt,
and for other needs as they arise.
|
|
|
U.S. Deposit-Funded Credit Facility |
On August 18, 2004, we refinanced our then existing
$680 million senior secured U.S. revolving credit
facility with a U.S. deposit-funded credit facility, which
is a synthetic revolving credit and letter of credit facility.
Pursuant to the refinancing, the lenders deposited the entire
$680 million of the facility in an account held by the
administrative agent, and those funds are used to support
letters of credit or borrowings on a revolving basis, in each
case subject to customary conditions. The lenders under the new
facility will receive
F-42
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
annual compensation on the amount of the facility equivalent to
450 basis points over LIBOR, which includes commitment fees
on the entire amount of the commitment (whether drawn or
undrawn) and a usage fee on the amounts drawn. The full amount
of the facility is available for the issuance of letters of
credit or for revolving loans. The $500.7 million of
letters of credit that were outstanding under the
U.S. revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2004
were transferred to the deposit-funded credit facility. As of
December 31, 2004, there were $509.9 million of
letters of credit issued under the facility. The facility
matures on September 30, 2007.
Our obligations under the deposit-funded credit facility are
guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries
and by our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Goodyear Canada
Inc. Our obligations under this facility and our
subsidiaries obligations under the related guarantees are
secured by collateral that includes:
|
|
|
|
|
subject to certain exceptions, perfected first-priority security
interests in the equity interests in our U.S. subsidiaries
and 65% of the equity interests in our non-European foreign
subsidiaries, |
|
|
|
a perfected second priority security interest in 65% of the
capital stock of Goodyear Finance Holding S.A., a Luxembourg
company, |
|
|
|
perfected first-priority security interests in and mortgages on
our U.S. corporate headquarters and certain of our
U.S. manufacturing facilities, |
|
|
|
perfected third-priority security interests in all accounts
receivable, inventory, cash and cash accounts pledged as
security under our asset-based facilities, and |
|
|
|
perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all
other tangible and intangible assets, including equipment,
contract rights and intellectual property. |
The bond agreement for our Swiss franc bonds due 2006 limits our
ability to use our U.S. tire and automotive parts
manufacturing facilities as collateral for secured debt without
triggering a requirement that holders of the bonds be secured on
an equal and ratable basis. The manufacturing facilities
indicated above were pledged to ratably secure the bonds to the
extent required by the bond agreement. However, the aggregate
amount of our debt secured by these manufacturing facilities is
limited to 15% of our positive consolidated shareholders
equity. Consequently, the security interests granted to the
lenders under the U.S. senior secured funded credit
facility are not required to be shared with the holders of debt
outstanding under our other existing unsecured bond indentures.
The deposit-funded credit facility contains certain covenants
that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional
unsecured and secured indebtedness (including a limit, subject
to certain exceptions, of 275 million euros in accounts
receivable transactions), make investments and sell assets
beyond specified limits. The facility prohibits us from paying
dividends on our common stock. We must also maintain a minimum
consolidated net worth (as such term is defined in the
deposit-funded credit facility) of at least $2.0 billion
for quarters ending in 2005 and the first quarter of 2006, and
$1.75 billion for each quarter thereafter through
September 30, 2007. We are not permitted to allow the ratio
of Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense to fall
below a ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive
fiscal quarters. In addition, our ratio of consolidated senior
secured indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA is not permitted to
be greater than 4.00 to 1.00 at any time.
The deposit-funded credit facility also limits the amount of
capital expenditures we may make to $500 million in 2004,
2005 and 2006, and $375 million in 2007 (through
September 30, 2007). The amounts of permitted capital
expenditures may be increased by the amount of net proceeds
retained by us from permitted asset sales and equity and debt
issuances. In addition, unused capital expenditures may be
carried over into the next year. As a result of certain
activities, the capital expenditure limit for 2004 was increased
from $500 million to approximately $1.10 billion. Our
capital expenditures for 2004 totaled $518.6 million.
F-43
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The capital expenditure carryover from 2004 was
$603.0 million, and in the absence of any other
transactions, the limit for 2005 will be $1.10 billion.

$1.95 Billion Senior Secured Asset-Based Credit
Facilities |
In April 2003, we entered into senior secured asset-based credit
facilities in an aggregate principal amount of
$1.30 billion, consisting of a $500 million revolving
credit facility and an $800 million term loan facility. At
December 31, 2004, we had no borrowings outstanding under
the revolving credit facility and $800 million drawn
against the term loan asset-based facility, compared to
$389 million and $800 million, respectively, at
December 31, 2003. On February 20, 2004, we added a
$650 million term loan tranche to the existing
$1.30 billion facility, which was fully drawn as of
December 31, 2004. The $650 million tranche is not
subject to the borrowing base and provides for junior liens on
the collateral securing the facility. The $650 million
tranche was used partially to prepay our U.S. term loan
facility, to repay other indebtedness, and for general corporate
purposes. The facilities mature on March 31, 2006.
Availability under the facilities, other than the
$650 million term loan tranche, is limited by a borrowing
base equal to the sum of (a) 85% of adjusted eligible
accounts receivable and (b) (i) if the effective
advance rate for inventory is equal to or greater than 85% of
the recovery rate (as determined by a third party appraisal) of
such inventory, 85% of the recovery rate multiplied by the
inventory value, or (ii) if the effective advance rate for
inventory is less than 85% of the recovery rate, (A) 35% of
eligible raw materials, 65% of adjusted eligible finished goods
relating to the North American Tire segment, and 60% of adjusted
eligible finished goods relating to the retail division,
Engineered Products segment, Chemical Products segment and
Wingfoot Commercial Tire Systems minus (B) a rent reserve
equal to three months rent and warehouse charges at
facilities where inventory is stored and a priority payables
reserve based on liabilities for certain taxes or certain
obligations related to employees that have a senior or pari
passu lien on the collateral.
The calculation of the borrowing base and reserves against
accounts receivable and inventory included in the borrowing base
are subject to adjustment from time to time by the
administrative agent and the majority lenders in their
discretion (not to be exercised unreasonably). Adjustments would
be based on the results of ongoing collateral and borrowing base
evaluations and appraisals. A $50 million availability
block further limits availability under the facilities. If at
any time the amount of outstanding borrowings under the
facilities subject to the borrowing base exceeds the borrowing
base, we will be required to prepay borrowings sufficient to
eliminate the excess or maintain compensating deposits with the
agent bank.
The facilities are collateralized by first and second priority
security interests in all accounts receivable and inventory of
Goodyear and its domestic and Canadian subsidiaries (excluding
accounts receivable and inventory related to our North American
joint venture with SRI). In addition, effective as of
February 20, 2004, collateral included second and third
priority security interests on the other assets securing the
U.S. facilities. The facilities contain certain
representations, warranties and covenants which are materially
the same as those in the U.S. facilities, with capital
expenditures of $500 million and $150 million
permitted in 2005 and 2006 (through March 31),
respectively. In addition, we must maintain a minimum
consolidated net worth of at least $2.00 billion for
quarters ending in 2005 and 2006 (through March 31, 2006).

International Accounts Receivable Securitization
Facilities On-Balance-Sheet Financing |
On December 10, 2004, GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries
entered into a new five-year pan-European accounts receivable
securitization facility. The facility initially
provides 165 million
of funding, but has the ability to be expanded
to 275 million,
and will be subject to customary annual renewal of back-up
liquidity lines. The new facility replaces
an 82.5 million
facility in a subsidiary in France.
F-44
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The new facility involves the twice-monthly 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 retained servicing responsibilities. It is an event
of default under the facility if:
|
|
|
|
|
the ratio of our consolidated EBITDA to our consolidated
interest expense falls below 2.00 to 1.00, |
|
|
|
the ratio of our consolidated senior secured indebtedness to our
consolidated EBITDA is greater than 4.00 to 1.00, |
|
|
|
the ratio of GDTEs third party indebtedness (net of cash
held by GDTE and its consolidated subsidiaries in excess of
$100 million) to its consolidated EBITDA is greater than
3.00 to 1.00, or |
|
|
|
for so long as such a provision is in our European Credit
Facilities, our consolidated net worth is less than
$2 billion on or prior to March 31, 2006, or is less
than $1.75 billion after March 31, 2006, in each case
subject to a 60 day grace period. |
The financial covenants listed above will be automatically
amended to conform to the European Credit Facilities upon the
refinancing of the European Credit Facilities. The defined terms
used in the events of default tests are similar to those in the
European Credit Facilities. As of December 31, 2004, the
amount outstanding and fully-utilized under this program totaled
$224.7 million. The program did not qualify for sale
accounting pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities, and accordingly, this amount is included
in consolidated long term debt.
In addition to the pan-European accounts receivable
securitization facility discussed above, SPT and other
subsidiaries in Australia had transferred accounts receivable
under other programs totaling $63.2 million and
$7.7 million at December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
The annual aggregate maturities of long term debt and capital
leases for the five years subsequent to December 31, 2004
are presented below. Maturities of debt credit agreements have
been reported on the basis that the commitments to lend under
these agreements will be terminated effective at the end of
their current terms.

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. Company policy
prohibits holding or issuing derivative financial instruments
for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Exchange Contracts |
We manage our fixed and floating rate debt mix, within defined
limitations, using refinancings and unleveraged interest rate
swaps. We will enter into fixed and floating interest rate swaps
to hedge against the effects of adverse changes in interest
rates on consolidated results of operations and future cash
outflows for interest. Fixed rate swaps are used to reduce our
risk of increased interest costs during periods of rising
interest rates, and are normally designated as cash flow hedges.
Floating rate swaps are used to convert the fixed rates of long
term borrowings into short term variable rates, and are normally
designated as fair value hedges. We use interest rate swap
contracts to separate interest rate risk management from the
debt funding decision. At December 31, 2004, the interest
rate on 50% of our debt was fixed by either the nature of the
obligation or through the interest rate contracts, compared to
47% at December 31, 2003.
The following tables present contract information and weighted
average interest rates. Current market pricing models were used
to estimate the fair values of interest rate exchange contracts.

Interest Rate Lock Contracts |
We will use, when appropriate, interest rate lock contracts to
hedge the risk-free rate component of anticipated long term debt
issuances. These contracts are designated as cash flow hedges of
forecasted transactions. Gains and losses on these contracts are
amortized to income over the life of the debt. No contracts were
outstanding at December 31, 2004 or 2003.
|
|
|
Foreign Currency Contracts |
We will enter into foreign currency contracts in order to reduce
the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on 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 receivables and
payables, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans, royalty
agreements and forecasted purchases and sales. In addition, the
principal and interest on our Swiss franc bonds due 2006
and 100 million
of Euro Notes due 2005 are hedged by currency swap agreements.
Contracts hedging the Swiss franc bonds and the Euro Notes are
designated as cash flow hedges. Contracts hedging short term
trade receivables and payables normally have no hedging
designation.
Amounts are reclassified from OCI into earnings each period to
offset the effects of exchange rate movements on the hedged
amounts of principal and interest of the Swiss franc bonds and
the Euro Notes. Amounts are also reclassified concurrently with
the recognition of intercompany royalty expense and sales of
intercompany purchases to third parties.

We were not a party to any foreign currency option contracts at
December 31, 2004 or 2003.
The counterparties to our interest rate and foreign exchange
contracts were substantial and creditworthy multinational
commercial banks or other financial institutions that are
recognized market makers. Due to the creditworthiness of the
counterparties, we consider the risk of counterparty
nonperformance associated with these contracts to be remote.
However, the inability of a counterparty to fulfill its
obligations when due could

have a material effect on our consolidated financial position,
results of operations or liquidity in the period in which it
occurs.
|
|
|
Hedges of Net Investment in Foreign Operations |
In order to reduce the impact of changes in foreign exchange
rates on consolidated shareholders equity, we will from
time to time designate certain foreign currency-denominated
non-derivative instruments as hedges of our net investment in
various foreign operations. There were no such designations at
December 31, 2004 or 2003.
|
|
|
Results of Hedging Activities |
Charges for ineffectiveness and premium amortization totaled
$0.2 million and $1.0 million during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At
December 31, 2004, there were no deferred net pretax gains
or losses on hedges of forecasted transactions expected to be
recognized in income during the twelve months ending
December 31, 2005. It is not practicable to estimate the
amount of deferred gains and losses that will be recognized in
income resulting from the remeasurement of certain long term
currency exchange agreements.
Deferred losses totaling $4.2 million were recorded as
Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2003 as a result of the designation of
nonderivative instruments as net investment hedges. These gains
and losses are only recognized in earnings upon the complete or
partial sale of the related investment or the complete
liquidation of the investment.

Note 12. |
Stock Compensation Plans and Dilutive Securities |
Our 1989 Goodyear Performance and Equity Incentive Plan, the
1997 Performance Incentive Plan of The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company and the 2002 Performance Plan of The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company provide for the granting of stock
options and stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted stock,
performance grants and other stock-based awards. For options
granted in tandem with SARs, the exercise of a SAR cancels the
stock option; conversely, the exercise of the stock option
cancels the SAR. The 1989 Plan expired on April 14, 1997,
and the 1997 Plan expired on December 31, 2001, except, in
each case, with respect to grants and awards outstanding. The
2002 Plan will expire by its terms on April 15, 2005,
except with respect to grants and awards then outstanding. A
maximum of 12,000,000 shares of our Common Stock are
available for issuance pursuant to grants and awards made under
the 2002 Plan through April 15, 2005. Stock options and
related SARs granted under the above plans generally have a
maximum term of ten years and vest pro rata over four years.
Performance units granted during 2002 and 2001 are earned based
on Return on Invested Capital and Total Shareholder Return
relative to the S&P Auto Parts & Equipment
Companies (each weighted at 50%) over a three year performance
period beginning January 1 of the year subsequent to the year of
grant. To the extent earned, a portion of the performance units
will generally be paid 50% in cash and 50% in stock (subject to
deferral under certain circumstances). A portion may be
automatically deferred in the form of units until the
participant is no longer an employee of the Company. Each unit
is equivalent to a share of our Common Stock and payable in
cash, shares of our Common Stock or a combination thereof at the
election of the participant.
On December 4, 2000, we adopted The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company Stock Option Plan for Hourly
Bargaining Unit Employees, under which options in respect of up
to 3,500,000 shares of our Common Stock may be granted. We
also adopted on that date the Hourly and Salaried Employee Stock
Option Plan, under which options in respect of up to
600,000 shares of our Common Stock may be granted. Stock
options granted under these plans generally have a maximum term
of ten years and vest over one to three years. The Hourly

Earnings Per Share Information |
Basic earnings per share have been computed based on the average
number of common shares outstanding.
We have adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force
Issue No. 04-08, The Effect of Contingently Convertible
Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share. Refer to Note 1.
There are contingent conversion features included in our
$350 million 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034,
issued on July 2, 2004. Accordingly, average shares
outstanding diluted in 2004 included approximately
29.1 million contingently issuable shares in each of the
third and fourth quarters and 14.5 million shares in the
full year. Net income per share diluted in 2004
included an earnings adjustment representing avoided after-tax
interest expense of $3.5 million in each of the third and
fourth quarters resulting from the assumed conversion of the
Notes. Diluted earnings per share in 2004 was reduced by
approximately $0.02 in the third quarter, $0.08 in the fourth
quarter and $0.01 in the full year as a result of the adoption
of this standard.

weighted-average shares used in computing diluted per share

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In 2004, 2003 and 2002, approximately 23.1 million,
21.4 million and 21.1 million, respectively,
equivalent shares related to stock options, restricted stock and
performance grants with exercise prices that were greater than
the average market price of our common shares were excluded from
average shares outstanding-diluted, as inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive. In addition, in 2003 and 2002, approximately
1.0 million and 2.6 million, respectively, equivalent
shares of stock options, restricted stock and performance grants
with exercise prices that were less than the average market
price of our common shares were excluded from average shares
outstanding diluted as we were in a net loss
position and inclusion would also have been anti-dilutive.
The following table presents the computation of adjusted net
income used in computing net income (loss) per share
diluted. The computation assumes that after-tax interest costs
incurred on the 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034 would
have been avoided had the Notes been converted when issued on
July 2, 2004:

Note 13. |
Pension, Other Postretirement Benefit and Savings Plans |
We provide substantially all employees with pension benefits.
The principal domestic hourly plan provides benefits based on
length of service. The principal domestic plans covering
salaried employees provide benefits based on final five-year
average earnings formulas. Salaried employees making voluntary
contributions to these plans receive higher benefits. Effective
January 1, 2005, the U.S. salaried pension plan was
frozen to new participants. Other pension plans provide benefits
similar to the principal domestic plans as well as termination
indemnity plans at certain international subsidiaries. At the
end of 2004 and 2003, assets exceeded accumulated benefits in
certain plans and accumulated benefits exceeded assets in others.
We also provide substantially all domestic employees and
employees at certain international subsidiaries with health care
and life insurance benefits upon retirement. Insurance companies
provide life insurance and certain health care benefits through
premiums based on expected benefits to be paid during the year.
Substantial portions of the health care benefits for domestic
retirees are not insured and are paid by us. Benefit payments
are funded from operations. At December 31, 2004, our
benefit obligation for other postretirement benefits includes
$15.2 million for the increase in our contribution
requirements based upon the anticipated attainment of certain
profit levels by certain businesses in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act (the Act) was
signed into law. The Act will provide plan sponsors a federal
subsidy for certain qualifying prescription drug benefits
covered under the sponsors postretirement health care
plans. FASB Staff Position No. FAS 106-2,
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of
2003 (the FSP), was issued on May 19, 2004. The FSP
provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the new
Medicare prescription drug legislation by employers whose
prescription drug benefits are actuarially equivalent to the
drug benefit under Medicare Part D. It also contains basic
guidance on related income tax accounting, and complex rules for
transition that permit various alternative prospective and
retroactive transition approaches. Based on the proposed
regulations, during 2004 we determined that the overall impact
of the adoption of FSP 106-2 was a reduction of expense in 2004
of approximately $2 million on an annual basis. The
adoption of FSP 106-2 also reduced our accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation by approximately
$19.7 million during 2004. On January 21, 2005 final
regulations were issued. Based on the clarifications provided in
the final regulations, our net periodic

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
postretirement cost is expected to be lower by approximately
$50 million in 2005, and the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation is expected to be reduced by approximately
$475 million to $525 million during 2005.

our plans.

For 2004, an assumed long-term rate of return of 8.5% was used
for the U.S. pension plans. In developing this rate, we
evaluated the compound annualized returns of our
U.S. pension fund over periods of 15 years or more
(through December 31, 2003). In addition, we evaluated
input from our pension fund consultant on
F-55
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
asset class return expectations and long-term inflation. For our
international locations, a weighted-average assumed long-term
rate of return of 7.95% was used. Input from local pension fund
consultants concerning asset class return expectations and
long-term inflation form the basis of this assumption.
The following table presents estimated future benefit payments

The payments shown above for other benefits are gross of
expected subsidy reimbursements under the Medicare Act. The
subsidy is expected to be approximately $14 million in 2006
and approximately $1 million annually thereafter.
The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit
pension plans was $7,448 million and $6,606 million at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Certain international subsidiaries maintain unfunded pension
plans consistent with local practices and requirements. At
December 31, 2004, these plans accounted for
$232.7 million of our accumulated pension benefit
obligation, $247.4 million of our projected pension benefit
obligation and $42.5 million of our minimum pension
liability adjustment ($208.3 million, $215.9 million
and $22.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2003).

At December 31, 2004, we did not directly hold any of our
Common Stock. At December 31, 2003, equity securities
included $35.6 million (0.9% of total plan assets) of our
Common Stock.
Our pension investment policy recognizes the long-term nature of
pension liabilities, the benefits of diversification across
asset classes and the effects of inflation. The diversified
portfolio is designed to maximize returns consistent with levels
of liquidity and investment risk that are prudent and
reasonable. All assets are managed externally according to
guidelines we have established individually with investment
managers. The manager guidelines prohibit the use of any type of
investment derivative without our prior approval. Portfolio risk
is controlled by having managers comply with guidelines,
establishing the maximum size of any single holding in their
portfolios and by using managers with different investment
styles. We periodically undertake
F-56
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
asset and liability modeling studies to determine the
appropriateness of the investments. The portfolio includes
holdings of domestic, international, and private equities,
global high quality and high yield fixed income securities, and
short-term interest bearing deposits. The target asset
allocation of the U.S. pension fund is 70% equities and 30%
fixed income.
We expect to contribute approximately $470 million to
$505 million to our funded major U.S. and international
pension plans in 2005.

Substantially all domestic employees are eligible to participate
in a savings plan. The main Hourly Bargaining Plans provided for
matching contributions, through April 20, 2003, (up to a
maximum of 6% of the employees annual pay or, if less,
$12,000) at the rate of 50%. We suspended the matching
contributions for all participants in the main Salaried Plan
effective January 1, 2003. Effective January 1, 2005,
all salaried new hires in the U.S. will be eligible for a
company-funded contribution into the Salaried Plan. This
contribution will be 5% of their compensation up to an IRS
determined compensation limit. Expenses recognized for Goodyear
domestic contributions were $4.1 million, $9.8 million
and $41.9 million for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
In addition, defined contribution pension plans are available
for certain foreign employees. Expenses recognized for our
contributions to these plans were $13.7 million,
$5.2 million and $3.8 million in 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively. Expenses in 2004 increased from 2003 due primarily
to the consolidation of SPT. Refer to Note 8.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, we recorded a non-cash charge of
$1.22 billion (as restated), ($6.95 per share (as
restated) in the fourth quarter or $7.29 per share (as
restated) on a year-to-date basis), to establish a valuation
allowance against net Federal and state deferred tax assets. In
addition, a valuation allowance of $352.9 million was
established against tax benefits related to our minimum pension
liability adjustment that were recorded in OCI in 2002. We
intend to maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient
positive evidence exists to support realization of the Federal
and state deferred tax assets.
At December 31, 2004, we had $325.6 million of tax
assets for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
related to certain international subsidiaries, some of which are
subject to expiration beginning in 2005. A valuation allowance
totaling $287.6 million has been recorded against these and
other deferred tax assets where recovery of the asset or
carryforward is uncertain. In addition, we had
$131.7 million of Federal and state tax assets for net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, some of which are
subject to expiration beginning in 2005. A full valuation
allowance has also been recorded against these deferred tax
assets as recovery is uncertain.
We determined in 2002 that earnings of certain international
subsidiaries would no longer be permanently reinvested in
working capital. Accordingly, we recorded a provision of
$50.2 million in 2002 for the incremental taxes incurred or
to be incurred upon inclusion of such earnings in Federal
taxable income. No provision for Federal income tax or foreign
withholding tax on undistributed earnings of international
subsidiaries of $1.70 billion is required because the
amount has been or will be reinvested in properties and plants
and working capital. It is not practicable to calculate the
deferred taxes associated with the remittance of these
investments.
The American Job Creation Act of 2004 was signed into law in
October 2004 and replaces an export incentive with a deduction
from domestic manufacturing income. As we are both an exporter
and a domestic manufacturer and in a U.S. tax loss
position, this change should not have a material impact on our
income tax provision. It also provides for a special one-time
tax deduction of 85% of certain foreign earnings that are
repatriated no later than 2005. We have started an evaluation of
the effects of the repatriation provision. We
F-59
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
do not anticipate that the repatriation of foreign earnings
under the Act would provide an overall tax benefit to us.
However, we do not expect to be able to complete this evaluation
until our 2005 tax position has been more precisely determined
and the U.S. Congress or the U.S. Treasury Department
provide additional guidance on certain of the Acts
provisions. Any repatriation of earnings under the Act is not
expected to have a material impact on our results of operations,
financial position or liquidity.
Net cash payments for income taxes were $201.3 million,
$73.0 million and $125.9 million in 2004, 2003 and
2002, respectively.

Note 18. |
Business Segments |
Segment information reflects our strategic business units
(SBUs), which are organized to meet customer requirements and
global competition.
The Tire business is comprised of five regional SBUs. Engineered
Products is managed on a global basis. Segment information is
reported on the basis used for reporting to our Chairman of the
Board, Chief Executive Officer and President.
Each of the five regional tire business segments is involved in
the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of tires.
Certain of the tire business segments also provide related
products and services, which include retreads, automotive repair
services and merchandise purchased for resale.
North American Tire provides original equipment and replacement
tires for autos, motorcycles, trucks, farm, aircraft and
construction applications in the United States, Canada and
export markets. North American Tire also provides related
products and services including tread rubber, tubes, retreaded
tires, automotive repair services and merchandise purchased for
resale. North American Tire information in 2004 includes
T&WA, which was consolidated effective January 1, 2004
pursuant to FIN 46. Refer to Note 8. Effective
January 1, 2005, we integrated our Chemical Products
business segment into our North American Tire business segment.
Segment information for all periods presented has been restated
to reflect the integration. Chemical Products develops,
manufactures and sells synthetic rubber and rubber latices,
synthetic

resins, and other organic chemical products for internal and
external customers worldwide. Chemical Products also engages in
natural rubber purchasing operations and, through 2004,
plantation operations.
The integration did not affect net income. During 2004,
$818.6 million, or 53.4%, of Chemical Products sales
and 75.2% of its segment operating income resulted from
intercompany transactions. Our total segment sales no longer
reflect these intercompany sales. In addition, the segment
operating income previously attributable to Chemical
Products intercompany transactions is no longer included
in the total segment operating income that we report.
European Union Tire provides original equipment and replacement
tires for autos, motorcycles, trucks, farm and construction
applications in Western Europe and export markets. European
Union Tire also retreads truck and aircraft tires.
Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa Tire provides original
equipment and replacement tires for autos, trucks, farm,
bicycle, construction and mining applications in Eastern Europe,

hoses, molded products, airsprings, tank tracks and other
products for original equipment and replacement transportation
applications and industrial markets worldwide.
As part of our continuing effort to divest non-core businesses,
in November 2004 we entered into an agreement to sell our
natural rubber plantations in Indonesia for approximately
$65 million, pending government approvals. Other (Income)
and Expense in 2004 included a loss of $14.5 million
($15.6 million after tax) on the write-down of these
assets, due primarily to the devaluation of the Indonesian
rupiah versus the U.S. dollar over the years we held the
investment. At December 31, 2004, the plantations were
classified as held for sale and accordingly, the assets and
liabilities were reclassified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Assets held for sale were included in Prepaid expenses and other
current assets and totaled $33.6 million. Liabilities held
for sale were included in Other current liabilities and totaled
$16.3 million.

Results of operations in the Tire and Engineered Products
segments were measured based on net sales to unaffiliated
customers and segment operating income. Segment operating income
included transfers to other SBUs. Segment operating income was
computed as follows: Net Sales less CGS (excluding accelerated
depreciation charges, asset impairment charges and asset
writeoffs) and SAG (including certain allocated corporate
administrative expenses). Segment operating income also included
equity in (earnings) losses of most unconsolidated
affiliates. Equity in (earnings) loss of certain
unconsolidated affiliates, including SPT (in 2003 and 2002) and
Rubbernetwork.com, was not included in segment operating income.
Segment operating income did not include rationalization charges
(credits) and certain other items. Segment assets included
those assets under the management of the SBU.
Effective January 1, 2004, we consolidated our investment
in South Pacific Tyres into Asia/ Pacific Tire and our
investment in Tire & Wheels Assemblies into North
American Tire pursuant to the provisions of FIN 46. For
2003, results of operations of SPT and T&WA were not
reported in segment results, but were reflected in our
Consolidated Statement of Income using the equity method.

to affiliates at December 31:

SPT operating income (loss) did not include net rationalization
charges (credits) of approximately $8.7 million in
2003 and $3.2 million in 2002. SPT debt totaled
$255.2 million at December 31, 2003, of which
$72.0 million was payable to Goodyear. Refer to
Note 23.
The following table presents geographic information. Net sales
by country were determined based on the location of the selling
subsidiary. Long-lived assets consisted primarily of properties
and plants, deferred charges and other miscellaneous assets.
Management did not consider the net sales or long-lived assets
of individual countries outside the United States to be
significant to the consolidated financial statements.

Note 20. Commitments and
Contingent Liabilities
At December 31, 2004, we had binding commitments for raw
materials and investments in land, buildings and equipment of
$755.9 million and off-balance-sheet financial guarantees
written and other commitments totaling $18.2 million.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, we had recorded, in Other
current liabilities, $15.6 million and $12.4 million,
respectively, for potential claims under warranties offered by
us. Tire replacement under most of the warranties we offer is on
a prorated basis. Warranty reserves are based on past claims
experience, sales history and other considerations. The amount
of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may differ
from these estimates.
The following table presents changes in the warranty reserve
during 2004 and 2003:

We had recorded liabilities totaling $39.5 million at
December 31, 2004 and $32.6 million (as restated) at
December 31, 2003 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, $8.5 million and $7.5 million (as restated)
were included in Other current liabilities at December 31,
2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. The costs include:
|
|
|
|
|
legal and consulting fees, |
|
|
|
site studies, |
|
|
|
the design and implementation of remediation plans, and |
|
|
|
post-remediation monitoring and related activities. |
These costs 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
F-66

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
extent to which other responsible parties contribute. During
2004, we reached a settlement with certain insurance companies
under which we will receive approximately $159 million in
installments during 2005 and 2006 in exchange for our releasing
the insurers from certain past, present and future environmental
claims. A significant portion of the costs incurred by us
related to these claims had been recorded in prior years.
We had recorded liabilities, on a discounted basis, totaling
$230.7 million and $195.7 million (as restated) for
anticipated costs related to workers compensation at
December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.
Of these amounts, $99.3 million and $112.6 million (as
restated) were included in Current Liabilities as part of
Compensation and benefits at December 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, 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
update our loss development factors based on actuarial analyses.
The increase in the liability from 2003 to 2004 was due
primarily to an increase in reserves for existing claims,
reflecting revised estimates of our ultimate liability in these
cases, and updated actuarial assumptions related to unasserted
claims. At December 31, 2004, the liability was discounted
using the risk-free rate of return.

|
|
General and Product Liability and Other Litigation |
We had recorded liabilities totaling $549.4 million at
December 31, 2004 and $495.3 million (as restated) at
December 31, 2003 for potential product liability and other
tort claims, including related legal fees expected to be
incurred. Of these amounts, $114.5 million and
$147.4 million (as restated) were included in Other current
liabilities at December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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. We had recorded insurance
receivables for potential product liability and other tort
claims of $116.9 million at December 31, 2004 and
$210.2 million (as restated) at December 31, 2003. Of
these amounts, $14.2 million and $91.5 million (as
restated) were included in Current Assets as part of Accounts
and notes receivable at December 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively.
Asbestos. We are a defendant in numerous lawsuits
alleging various asbestos-related personal injuries purported to
result from alleged exposure to asbestos in certain rubber
encapsulated products or aircraft braking systems manufactured
by us in the past, or to asbestos 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 26,600 cases 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, totaled
$226.3 million through December 31, 2004, compared to
$211.7 million (as restated) at December 31, 2003.

A summary of approximate asbestos claims activity in recent
years 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 from period to period.

Represents amount spent by Goodyear and its insurers on asbestos
litigation defense and claim resolution. |
Beginning with the preparation of our 2003 financial statements,
we engaged an independent asbestos valuation firm to
|
|
|
|
|
review our existing reserves for pending claims, |
|
|
|
determine whether or not we could make a reasonable estimate of
the liability associated with unasserted asbestos
claims, and |
|
|
|
review our method of determining our receivables from probable
insurance recoveries. |
Prior to the fourth quarter of 2003, our estimate for asbestos
liability was based upon a review of the various characteristics
of the pending claims by an experienced asbestos counsel. In
addition, at that time we did not have an accrual for unasserted
claims, as sufficient information was deemed to be not available
to reliably estimate such an obligation prior to the fourth
quarter of 2003. The valuation firm further confirmed this
conclusion. The available information was deemed to be
sufficient to begin reliably estimating an accrual for
unasserted claims as of December 31, 2003.
After reviewing our recent settlement history by jurisdiction,
law firm, disease type and alleged date of first exposure, the
valuation firm cited two primary reasons for us to refine our
valuation assumptions. First, in calculating our estimated
liability, the valuation firm determined that we had previously
assumed that we would resolve more claims in the foreseeable
future than is likely based on our historical record and
nationwide trends. As a result, we now assume that a smaller
percentage of pending claims will be resolved within the
predictable future. Second, the valuation firm determined that
it was not possible to estimate a liability for as many
non-malignancy claims as we had done in the past. As a result,
our current estimated liability includes fewer liabilities
associated with non-malignancy claims than were included prior
to December 2003.
We had recorded liabilities for both asserted and unasserted
claims, inclusive of defense costs, totaling $119.3 million
at December 31, 2004 and $134.7 million (as restated)
at December 31, 2003. The recorded liability represents our
estimated liability through 2008, which represents the period
over which the liability can be reasonably estimated. Due to the
difficulties in making these estimates, analysis based on new
data and/or changed circumstances arising in the future could
result in an increase in the recorded obligation in an amount
that cannot be reasonably estimated, and that increase could be
significant. The portion of the liability associated with
unasserted asbestos claims was $37.9 million at
December 31, 2004 and $54.4 million (as restated) at
December 31, 2003. At December 31, 2004, our liability
with respect to asserted claims and related defense costs was
$81.4 million, compared to $80.3 million (as restated)
at December 31, 2003.

THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
We maintain primary insurance coverage under coverage-in-place
agreements as well as excess liability insurance with respect to
asbestos liabilities. We record a receivable with respect to
such policies when we determine that recovery is probable and we
can reasonably estimate the amount of a particular recovery.
Prior to 2003, we did not record a receivable for expected
recoveries from excess carriers in respect of asbestos related
matters. We have instituted coverage actions against certain of
these excess carriers. After consultation with our outside legal
counsel and giving consideration to relevant factors including
the ongoing legal proceedings with certain of our excess
coverage insurance carriers, their financial viability, their
legal obligations and other pertinent facts, we determined an
amount we expect is probable of recovery from such carriers.
Accordingly, we recorded a receivable during 2003, which
represents an estimate of recovery from our excess coverage
insurance carriers relating to potential asbestos related
liabilities.
The valuation firm also reviewed our method of valuing
receivables recorded for probable insurance recoveries. Based
upon the model employed by the valuation firm, as of
December 31, 2004, (i) we had recorded a receivable
related to asbestos claims of $107.8 million, compared to
$121.3 million (as restated) at December 31, 2003, and
(ii) we expect that approximately 90% of asbestos claim
related losses would be recoverable up to our accessible policy
limits through the period covered by the estimated liability.
The receivable recorded 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. Of this
amount, $9.4 million and $11.8 million (as restated)
was included in Current Assets as part of Accounts and notes
receivable at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
We believe that at December 31, 2004, we had at least
$260 million in aggregate limits of excess level policies
potentially applicable to indemnity payments for asbestos
products claims in addition to limits of available primary
insurance policies. Some of these excess policies provide for
payment of defense costs in addition to indemnity limits. A
portion of the availability of the excess level policies is
included in the $107.8 million insurance receivable
recorded at December 31, 2004. We also had approximately
$23 million in aggregate limits for products claims as well
as coverage for premise claims on a per occurrence basis and
defense costs available with our primary insurance carriers
through coverage-in-place agreements at December 31, 2004.
We believe that our reserve for asbestos claims, and the
insurance asset recorded in respect of these claims, reflects
reasonable and probable estimates of these amounts, subject to
the exclusion of claims for which it is not feasible to make
reasonable estimates. The estimate of the assets and liabilities
related to pending and expected future asbestos claims and
insurance recoveries is subject to numerous uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, changes in:
|
|
|
|
|
the litigation environment, |
|
|
|
federal and state law governing the compensation of asbestos
claimants, |
|
|
|
our approach to defending and resolving claims, and |
|
|
|
the level of payments made to claimants from other sources,
including other defendants. |
As a result, 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
amount 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.
Heatway (Entran II). On June 4, 2004, we
entered into an amended settlement agreement that was intended
to address the claims arising out of a number of Federal, state
and Canadian actions filed against us
F-69
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
involving a rubber hose product, Entran II. We supplied
Entran II from 1989 to 1993 to Chiles Power Supply, Inc.
(d/b/a Heatway Systems), a designer and seller of hydronic
radiant heating systems in the United States. Heating systems
using Entran II are typically attached or embedded in
either indoor flooring or outdoor pavement, and use
Entran II hose as a conduit to circulate warm fluid as a
source of heat. We had recorded liabilities related to
Entran II claims totaling $307.2 million at
December 31, 2004 and $246.1 million at
December 31, 2003.
On October 19, 2004, the amended settlement received court
approval. As a result, we will make annual cash contributions to
a settlement fund of $60 million, $40 million,
$15 million, $15 million and $20 million in 2004,
2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. In addition to these
annual payments, we contributed approximately $170 million
we had received from insurance contributions to a settlement
fund pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement. We do
not expect to receive any additional insurance reimbursements
for Entran II related matters. In November 2004, we made
our first annual cash contribution, approximately
$60 million, to the settlement fund.
Approximately 57 sites have been opted out of the amended
settlement. There are three state court actions filed against us
involving approximately 17 of these sites and additional actions
may be filed against us in the future. Although any liability
resulting from the opt outs will not be covered by the amended
settlement, we will be entitled to assert a proxy claim against
the settlement fund for the payment such claimant would have
been entitled to under the amended settlement.
In addition to the sites that have been opted out of the amended
settlement, any liability related to five actions in which we
have received adverse judgments also will not be covered by the
amended settlement. With respect to two of these matters,
however, we will be entitled to assert a proxy claim against the
settlement fund for amounts (if any) paid to plaintiffs in these
actions. Our recorded liabilities related to these five claims
totaled $48.5 million at December 31, 2004.
The ultimate cost of disposing of Entran II claims is
dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to
resolve claims not subject to the amended settlement (including
the cases in which we have received adverse judgments) and
whether or not claimants opting out of the amendment settlement
pursue claims against us in the future.
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 when 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 future periods.
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 tax
benefits to the extent that it is probable that our
F-70
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
positions will be sustained when challenged by the taxing
authorities. As of December 31, 2004 we had not recognized
tax benefits of approximately $180 million relating to the
reorganization of legal entities in 2001. Pursuant to the
reorganization, our tax payments have been reduced by
approximately $67 million through December 31, 2004.
Should the ultimate outcome be unfavorable, we would be required
to make a cash payment for all tax reductions claimed as of that
date.
We are a party to various agreements under which we have
undertaken obligations resulting from the issuance of certain
guarantees. Guarantees have been issued on behalf of our
affiliates or our customers. Normally there is no separate
premium received by us as consideration for the issuance of
guarantees. Our performance under these guarantees would
normally be triggered by the occurrence of one or more events as
provided in the specific agreements. Collateral and recourse
provisions available to us under these agreements were not
significant.
Customer Financing. In the normal course of business, we
will from time to time issue guarantees to financial
institutions on behalf of our customers. We normally issue these
guarantees in connection with the arrangement of financing by
the customer. We generally do not require collateral in
connection with the issuance of these guarantees. In the event
of non-payment by a customer, we would be obligated to make
payment to the financial institution, and would typically have
recourse to the assets of that customer. At December 31,
2004, we had guarantees outstanding under which the maximum
potential amount of payments totaled $7.5 million, and
which expire at various times through 2012. We cannot estimate
the extent to which the customers assets, in the
aggregate, would be adequate to recover the maximum amount of
potential payments. There were no recorded liabilities
associated with these guarantees on the Consolidated Balance
Sheet at December 31, 2004 or 2003.
Affiliate Financing. We will from time to time issue
guarantees to financial institutions on behalf of certain of our
affiliates, which are accounted for using the equity method. The
financing arrangements of the affiliates may be for either
working capital or capital expenditures. We generally do not
require collateral in connection with the issuance of these
guarantees. In the event of non-payment by an affiliate, we are
obligated to make payment to the financial institution, and will
typically have recourse to the assets of that affiliate. At
December 31, 2004, we had guarantees outstanding under
which the maximum potential amount of payments totaled
$9.8 million, and which expire at various times through
2007. We are unable to estimate the extent to which the
affiliates assets would be adequate to recover the maximum
amount of potential payments with that affiliate.
Employee Guarantees. We will from time to time issue
guarantees to financial institutions or other companies on
behalf of certain employees or associates that are relocated to
international operations. At December 31, 2004, we had
guarantees outstanding under which the maximum potential amount
of payments totaled $0.9 million.
Indemnifications. At December 31, 2004, we were a
party to various agreements under which we had assumed
obligations to indemnify the counterparties from certain
potential claims and losses. These agreements typically involve
standard commercial activities undertaken by us in the normal
course of business; the sale of our assets; the formation of
joint venture businesses to which we have contributed assets in
exchange for ownership interests; and other financial
transactions. Indemnifications provided by us pursuant to these
agreements relate to various matters including, among other
things, environmental, tax and shareholder matters; intellectual
property rights; government regulations and employment-related
matters; and dealer, supplier and other commercial matters.
Certain indemnifications expire from time to time, and certain
other indemnifications are not subject to an expiration date. In
addition, our potential liability under certain indemnifications
is subject to maximum
F-71
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
caps, while other indemnifications are not subject to caps.
Although we have been subject to indemnification claims in the
past, we cannot reasonably estimate the number, type and size of
indemnification claims that may arise in the future. Due to
these and other uncertainties associated with the
indemnifications, our maximum exposure to loss under these
agreements cannot be estimated.
We have determined that there are no guarantees other than
liabilities for which amounts are already recorded or reserved
in our financial statements under which it is probable that we
have incurred a liability.

Preferred Stock Purchase Rights Plan |
On February 3, 2004, the Companys Board of Directors
approved an amendment to the Rights Agreement to change the
final expiration date of the Rights Agreement from July 26,
2006 to June 1, 2004. As a result, the preferred stock
purchase rights granted under the Rights Agreement expired at
the close of business on June 1, 2004.

Future Liquidity Requirements |
At December 31, 2004, we had $1.97 billion in cash and
cash equivalents, of which $1.02 billion was held in the
United States and $415.6 million was in accounts of GDTE.
The remaining amounts were held in our other
non-U.S. operations. Our ability to move cash and cash
equivalents among our various operating locations is subject to
the operating needs of the operating locations as well as
restrictions imposed by local laws and applicable credit
facility agreements. At December 31, 2004, approximately
$219.9 million of cash was held in locations where
significant tax or legal impediments would make it difficult or
costly to execute monetary transfers. Unused availability under
our various credit agreements totaled approximately
$1.12 billion at December 31, 2004. Based upon our
projected operating results, we expect that cash flow from
operations, together with amounts available under our primary
credit facilities and other sources of liquidity, will be
adequate to meet our anticipated liquidity requirements through
December 31, 2005 (including working capital, debt service,
pension funding and capital expenditures).
The aggregate amount of long-term debt maturing in calendar
years 2005 and 2006 is approximately $1.01 billion and
$1.92 billion, respectively. Included in the amount for
2005 is $400.0 million related to our primary European
credit facilities maturing on April 30, 2005 and
our 400 million
6.375% Euro Notes due June 2005 (equivalent to approximately
$542 million at December 31, 2004). In March 2006,
$1.45 billion related to our asset-based facilities
matures, and the $250 million
65/8% Senior
Notes are due in December 2006. On February 23, 2005 we
announced that we intend to refinance approximately
$3.3 billion of our credit facilities. These include:
|
|
|
|
|
a $1.3 billion asset-based credit facility, due
March 31, 2006, |
|
|
|
a $650 million asset-based term loan, due March 31,
2006, |
|
|
|
a $680 million deposit funded credit facility, due
September 30, 2007, and |
|
|
|
$650 million in credit facilities for our Goodyear Dunlop
Tires Europe B.V. affiliate, due April 30, 2005. |
We expect to replace these facilities with $3.35 billion in
new five-year facilities that will be due in 2010 and include:
|
|
|
|
|
a $1.5 billion asset-based credit facility, |
|
|
|
a $1.2 billion second lien term loan, and |
|
|
|
the Euro equivalent of $650 million in credit facilities
for Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. |
F-72
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
These transactions are subject to market conditions and the
execution of definitive documentation and are expected to close
in April 2005. We expect to record pretax charges of
approximately $40 million for the write-off of unamortized
costs related to the replaced facilities, and the costs of
refinancing could be significant. Failure to refinance the
European credit facilities or asset-based facilities before they
mature could have a material adverse affect on our liquidity. In
order to ensure that our future liquidity requirements are
addressed, we plan to seek additional financing in the capital
markets. Because of our debt ratings, operating performance over
the past few years and other factors, access to the capital
markets cannot be assured.
Our ongoing ability to access the capital markets is also
dependent on the degree of success we have implementing our
North American Tire turnaround strategy. Successful
implementation of the turnaround strategy is also crucial to
ensuring that we have sufficient cash flow from operations to
meet our obligations. While we made progress in implementing the
turnaround strategy in 2004, there is no assurance that our
progress will continue, or that we will be able to sustain any
future progress to a degree sufficient to maintain access to
capital markets and meet liquidity requirements. As a result,
failure to complete the turnaround strategy successfully could
have a material adverse effect on our financial position,
results of operations and liquidity.
Future liquidity requirements also may make it necessary for us
to incur additional debt. However, a substantial portion of our
assets is 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, unless we sustain or improve our financial
performance, our ability to raise unsecured debt may be limited.
In addition to maturing debt, we are required to make
contributions to our domestic defined benefit pension plans.
These contributions are required under the minimum funding
requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
(ERISA). Although subject to change, we expect to be
required by ERISA to make contributions to our domestic pension
plans of approximately $400 million to $425 million in
2005. At the end of 2005, the current interest rate relief
measures used for pension funding calculations expire. If
current measures are extended, we estimate that required
contributions in 2006 will be in the range of $600 million
to $650 million. If new legislation is not enacted, the
interest rate used for 2006 and beyond will be based upon a
30-year U.S. Treasury bond rate, as calculated and
published by the U.S. government as a proxy for the rate
that could be attained if 30-year Treasury bonds were currently
being issued. Using an estimate of these rates would result in
estimated required contributions during 2006 in the range of
$725 million to $775 million. The assumptions used to
develop these estimates are described in Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Commitments and Contingencies. We
are not able to reasonably estimate our future required
contributions beyond 2006. Nevertheless, we expect that the
amount of contributions required in years beyond 2006 will be
substantial. In 2005, in addition to required domestic plan
contributions, we expect to contribute approximately
$70 million to our funded international pension plans.
Our postretirement benefit plans will require amounts to cover
benefit payments in the future. Benefit payments are expected to
be approximately $304 million in 2005, $321 million in
2006 and $274 million in 2007. These estimates are based
upon the plan provisions currently in effect. Ultimate payments
are expected to be $2.6 billion as calculated on
December 31, 2004. The majority of these payments would be
made more than five years hence. The estimated payments do not
include an estimated reduction in our obligations totaling
approximately $475 million to $525 million resulting
from the provisions of the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.
Pursuant to an agreement entered into in 2001, Ansell Ltd.
(Ansell), our joint venture partner in South Pacific Tyres
(SPT), has the right, during the period beginning August 2005
and ending one year later, to require Goodyear to purchase
Ansells 50% interest in SPT. The purchase price is a
formula price based on the earnings of SPT, subject to various
adjustments. If Ansell does not exercise its right, we may
require Ansell to
F-73
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
sell its interest to us during the 180 days following the
expiration of Ansells right at a price established using
the same formula.
We are subject to various legal proceedings, including those
described in Note 20. In the event we wish to appeal any
future adverse judgment in any proceeding, we would be required
to post an appeal bond with the relevant court. If we do not
have sufficient availability under our U.S. deposit-funded
credit facility to issue a letter of credit to support an appeal
bond, we may be required to (i) pay down borrowings under
the facility in order to increase the amount available for
issuing letters of credit, or (ii) deposit cash collateral
in order to stay the enforcement of the judgment pending an
appeal. A significant deposit of cash collateral may have a
material adverse effect on our liquidity.
A substantial portion of our borrowings is at variable rates of
interest and exposes us to interest rate risk. If interest rates
rise, our debt service obligations would increase. An
unanticipated significant rise in interest rates could have a
material adverse effect on our liquidity in future periods.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

|
Note 24. |
Consolidating Financial Information |
Certain of our subsidiaries have guaranteed Goodyears
obligations under $650 million of senior secured notes
issued in March 2004. 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
Indenture related to Goodyears obligations under
$650 million of Senior Secured Notes issued on
March 12, 2004 ($450 million of 11% Senior
Secured Notes due 2011 and $200 million of Senior Secured
Floating Rate Notes due 2011 (the Notes)), |
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, |
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments
to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions and
(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. Each entity in the consolidating
financial information follows the same accounting policies as
described in the consolidated financial statements, except for
using the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership
interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon
consolidation.
Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company are
restricted from remitting funds to it by means of dividends,
advances or loans, primarily due to restrictions in credit
facility agreements entered into by those subsidiaries. At
December 31, 2004 and 2003, approximately $221 million
and $259 million, respectively, of non-guarantor net assets
were restricted. There were no restrictions on the ability of
the guarantor subsidiaries to remit net assets to the Parent
Company at December 31, 2004 or 2003.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
Note 25. |
Subsequent Events |
On February 28, 2005, we announced that we had entered into
an agreement to sell the assets of our North American farm tire
business to Titan International, Inc., for approximately
$100 million, pending government, regulatory and union
approvals. In connection with the transaction, we expect to
record approximately $35 to 65 million of non-cash pension
and retiree medical costs in the quarter in which the
transaction closes. Additional charges also may be incurred in
connection with the closing of the transaction. The assets to be
sold include inventories and our manufacturing plant, property
and equipment in Freeport, Illinois.
Effective January 1, 2005, we integrated our Chemical
Products business segment into our North American Tire business
segment. The integration did not affect net income. Segment
information for all periods presented has been restated. During
2004, $818.6 million, or 53.4%, of Chemical Products
sales and 75.2% of its segment operating income resulted from
intercompany transactions. Our total segment sales no longer
reflect these intercompany sales. In addition, the segment
operating income previously attributable to Chemical
Products intercompany transactions is no longer included
in the total segment operating income that we report.
On January 21, 2005, final regulations were issued under
the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization
Act. Based on the clarifications provided in the final
regulations, our net periodic postretirement cost is expected to
be lower by approximately $50 million in 2005, and the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is expected to be
reduced by approximately $475 million to $525 million
during 2005. Refer to Note 13.

As reported in 2004 Forms 10-Q filed on June 18,
August 5 and November 9, 2004, respectively. |
Net income per share diluted as restated in the
third and fourth quarters of 2004 reflected the dilutive impact
of the assumed conversion of our $350 million Convertible
Senior Notes into shares of our Common Stock. The Notes were
issued on July 2, 2004. Net income per share
diluted in 2004 included a pro forma earnings adjustment
representing avoided after-tax interest expense of
$3.5 million in each of the third and fourth quarters.
Average shares outstanding diluted included
29.1 million shares in each of the third and fourth
quarters, and 14.5 million shares in the full year,
resulting from the assumed conversion. Refer to Note 12.
The first quarter of 2004 included net after-tax gains of
$2.1 million from asset sales and net favorable tax
adjustments of $1.9 million. The first quarter also
included net after-tax charges of $20.5 million for
rationalizations, $11.6 million for insurance fire loss
deductibles, $9.2 million for general and product
liability-discontinued products and $4.1 million for
accelerated depreciation.
The second quarter of 2004 included net favorable tax
adjustments of $4.9 million and net after-tax gains
$1.1 million from asset sales. The second quarter also
included net after-tax charges of $8.5 million for
rationalizations, $8.1 million for general and product
liability-discontinued products and $0.5 million for
accelerated depreciation.
The third quarter of 2004 included net favorable tax adjustments
of $43.6 million and net after-tax gains of
$1.1 million from asset sales. The third quarter also
included net after-tax charges of $30.3 million for
rationalizations, $8.1 million for general and product
liability-discontinued products and $1.9 million for
accelerated depreciation.
F-87
The fourth quarter of 2004 included net favorable tax
adjustments of $9.7 million and net after-tax gains of
$156.6 million from an environmental insurance settlement,
$19.3 million from a favorable lawsuit settlement with
certain suppliers and $7.3 million from net reversals of
rationalization charges. The fourth quarter also included net
after-tax charges of $27.4 million for general and product
liability-discontinued products, $11.8 million from asset
sales (including a loss on the write-down of the assets of our
natural rubber plantations in Indonesia) and $2.9 million
for accelerated depreciation.

(A) |
|
As reported in 2003 Forms 10-Q filed on April 30,
July 30 and November 19, 2003, respectively. |
|
(B) |
|
As reported in 2003 Form 10-K filed on May 19, 2004. |
The first quarter of 2003 included net after-tax charges of
$57.9 million for rationalizations, $19.1 million for
general and product liability-discontinued products and
$7.5 million for accelerated depreciation. The first
quarter also included net favorable tax adjustments of
$1.2 million and a net after-tax gain of $0.2 million
from asset sales.
The second quarter of 2003 (as previously reported) included net
charges for restatement adjustments totaling $25.6 million
before tax ($31.3 million after tax). These adjustments
related primarily to Interplant, Engineered Products and Tax
adjustments, and have been restated to prior periods. Several
factors relating to Goodyears enterprise resource planning
systems implementation resulted in Engineered Products
inability to locate or recreate account reconciliations for
prior periods in the amount of $19.0 million before tax
($18.6 million after tax). As a result, Engineered Products
was unable to allocate the amount to applicable periods and
accordingly, recorded this adjustment in the first quarter of
2003.
The second quarter of 2003 included net favorable tax
adjustments of $12.8 million and a net after-tax gain of
$9.1 million resulting from general and product
liability-discontinued products. The second quarter also
included net after-tax charges of $13.0 million for
rationalizations, $6.4 million from asset sales and
$0.5 million for accelerated depreciation.
The third quarter of 2003 included net after-tax charges of
$62.5 million for general and product
liability-discontinued products, $46.3 million for
rationalizations (including $1.5 million at SPT),
$5.9 million from asset sales and $0.5 million for
accelerated depreciation. The third quarter also included net
favorable tax adjustments of $35.8 million.
The fourth quarter of 2003 included net after-tax charges of
$154.2 million for rationalizations (including
$1.1 million at SPT), $122.9 million for accelerated
depreciation, asset write-offs and impairments,
$63.6 million (as restated) for general and product
liability-discontinued products, $9.5 million related to a
labor litigation judgment against Goodyear in Europe and
$4.2 million (as restated) from asset sales. The fourth
quarter also included net unfavorable tax adjustments of
$0.2 million.

THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY
NOTES TO PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Parent Company follows the same accounting policies as
described in the consolidated financial statements, except that
it uses the equity method of accounting for its ownership
interests in other subsidiaries.
LONG TERM DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
At December 31, 2004, the Parent Company was a party to
various long-term financing facilities. Under the terms of these
facilities, the Parent Company pledged a significant portion of
its assets as collateral. The collateral included the capital
stock of certain subsidiaries, first-priority security interests
in certain property, plant and equipment and other tangible and
intangible assets, and second-priority security interests in
accounts receivable, inventory and cash. In addition, the
facilities contain certain covenants that, among other things,
limit the Parent Companys ability to secure additional
indebtedness, make investments, and sell assets beyond specified
limits. The facilities prohibit the Parent Company from paying
dividends on its common stock and limit the amount of capital
expenditures the Parent Company, together with its consolidated
subsidiaries, may make. The facilities also contain certain
financial covenants including the maintenance of a minimum
consolidated net worth, a ratio of consolidated EBITDA to
consolidated interest expense, and a ratio of consolidated
senior secured indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (as such
terms are defined in the respective facility agreements).
Repayment of the facilities is required with a defined
percentage of the proceeds from certain asset sales and debt or
equity issuances. For further information, refer to the Note to
the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 11, Financing
Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments.
The annual aggregate maturities of long-term debt and capital
leases for the five years subsequent to 2004 are presented
below. Maturities of debt supported by the availability of
revolving credit agreements have been reported on the basis that
the commitments to lend under these agreements will be
terminated effective at the end of their current terms.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Partners
South Pacific Tyres:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of
financial position of South Pacific Tyres (the Partnership) as
of June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and the related
consolidated statements of financial performance, partners
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year-period ended June 30, 2004. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnerships management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Partnership as of June 30, 2004, 2003 and
2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30,
2004 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
in Australia.
Accounting principles generally accepted in Australia vary in
certain significant respects from accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Information relating to
the nature and effect of such differences as it relates to
Partnership is presented in Notes 31 to 33 to the
consolidated financial statements. The application of accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States would have
affected consolidated financial performance for each of the
years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2004 and the
determination of partners equity as of June 30, 2004,
2003 and 2002, to the extent summarized in Notes 31 to 33
to the consolidated financial statements.
As discussed in Note 31 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Partnership has restated its description of
significant differences between generally accepted accounting
principles in Australia and generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States and their effects on financial
performance and partners equity for each of the years in
the two-year period ended June 30, 2003.

SOUTH PACIFIC TYRES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 30th June 2004
|
|
Note 1. |
Statement of Significant Accounting Policies |
General
The principal activities of the consolidated entity during the
period were:
|
|
|
|
|
Manufacture of tyres for vehicles |
|
|
|
Wholesaling and retailing of vehicle and aircraft tyres in
Australia |
There were no significant changes in the nature of the principal
activities of the consolidated entity during the year.
The significant policies which have been adopted in the
preparation of this financial report are:
In accordance with Section 11 of the Partnership Agreement,
South Pacific Tyres (the consolidated entity) is
required to prepare a financial report as if it were a public
company under the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001.
In the opinion of the directors, the consolidated entity is not
a reporting entity. The financial report of the consolidated
entity has been drawn up as a special purpose financial report
for distribution to the partners and for the purpose of
fulfilling the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial reports has been prepared in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001, the recognition and measurements aspects
of all applicable accounting standards and other mandatory
professional reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group
Consensus Views) that have a material effect.
The financial report has been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting as defined in AASB1001, Accounting Policies, using
historical cost convention and going concern assumption. Except
where stated, it does not take into account changing money
values or current valuations of non-current assets.
These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each
entity in the consolidated entity and, except where there is a
change in accounting policy, are consistent with those of the
previous year.
|
|
(b) |
Principles of Consolidation |
The financial statements of controlled entities are included
from the date control commences until the date control ceases.
Outside interests in the equity and results of the entities that
are controlled by the consolidated entity are shown as a
separate item in the consolidated financial statements.
|
|
|
Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation |
Unrealised gains and losses and inter-entity balances resulting
from transactions with or between controlled entities are
eliminated in full on consolidation.
|
|
(c) |
Revenue Recognition Note 3 |
Revenues are recognised at fair value of the consideration
received net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST)
payable to the taxation authority.
F-104
SOUTH PACIFIC TYRES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
Note 1. |
Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised (net of returns,
discounts and allowances) when control of the goods passes to
the customer.
Revenue from rendering services is recognised when the service
has been completed.
Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues, taking into
account the effective yield on the financial asset.
|
|
|
Sale of Non-Current Assets |
The gross proceeds of non-current asset sales are included as
revenue at the date control of the asset passes to the buyer,
usually when an unconditional contract of sale is signed.
The gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference
between the carrying amount of the asset at the time of disposal
and the net proceeds on disposal (including incidental costs).
|
|
(d) |
Goods and Services Tax |
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount
of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office
(ATO). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of
the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST
included.
The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO
is included as a current asset or current liability in the
statement of financial position.
Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a
gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from
investing and financing activities which are recoverable from,
or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.
Foreign currency transactions are translated to Australian
currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the
transactions. Amounts receivable and payable in foreign
currencies at reporting date are translated at the rates of
exchange ruling on that date.
Exchange differences relating to amounts payable and receivable
in foreign currencies are brought to account as exchange gains
or losses in the statement of financial performance in the
financial year in which the exchange rates change.
|
|
|
Translation of Controlled Foreign Entities |
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations that are
self-sustaining are translated at the rates of exchange ruling
at reporting date. Equity items are translated at historical
rates. The statements of financial performance are translated at
a weighted average rate for the year. Exchange differences
arising on translation
F-105
SOUTH PACIFIC TYRES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
Note 1. |
Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve
until the disposal, or partial disposal, of the operations.
The balance of the foreign currency translation reserve relating
to a foreign operation that is disposed of, or partially
disposed of, is transferred to retained profits in the year of
disposal.
The consolidated entity is exposed to changes in interest rates,
foreign exchange rates and commodity prices from its activities.
The consolidated entity uses the following derivative financial
instruments to hedge these risks: interest rate swaps and
forward foreign exchange contracts. Derivative financial
instruments are not held for speculative purposes.
Transactions are designated as a hedge of the anticipated
specific purchase or sale of goods or services, purchase of
qualifying assets, or an anticipated interest transaction, only
when they are expected to reduce exposure to the risks being
hedged, are designated prospectively so that it is clear when an
anticipated transaction has or has not occurred and it is
probable the anticipated transaction will occur as designated.
Gains or losses on the hedge arising up to the date of the
anticipated transaction, together with any costs or gains
arising at the time of entering into the hedge, are deferred and
included in the measurement of the anticipated transaction when
the transaction has occurred as designated. Any gains or losses
on the hedge transaction after that date are included in the
statement of financial performance.
The net amounts receivable or payable under open swaps and
forward rate agreements and the associated deferred gains or
losses are not recorded in the statement of financial position
until the hedge transaction occurs. When recognised the net
receivables or payables are then revalued using the foreign
currency and interest rates current at reporting date. Refer to
Note 22.
When the anticipated transaction is no longer expected to occur
as designated, the deferred gains or losses relating to the
hedged transaction are recognised immediately in the statement
of financial performance.
Where a hedge transaction is terminated early and the
anticipated transaction is still expected to occur as
designated, the deferred gains or losses that arose on the hedge
prior to its termination continue to be deferred and are
included in the measurement of the purchase or sale or interest
transaction when it occurs. Where a hedge transaction is
terminated early because the anticipated transaction is no
longer expected to occur as designated, deferred gains or losses
that arose on the hedge prior to its termination are included in
the statement of financial performance for the period.
Where a hedge is redesignated as a hedge of another transaction,
gains or losses arising on the hedge prior to its redesignation
are only deferred where the original anticipated transaction is
still expected to occur as designated. When the original
anticipated transaction is no longer expected to occur as
designated, any gains or losses relating to the hedge instrument
are included in the statement of financial performance for the
period.
Gains or losses that arise prior to and upon the maturity of
transactions entered into under hedge rollover strategies are
deferred and included in the measurement of the hedged
anticipated transaction if the transaction is still expected to
occur as designated. If the anticipated transaction is no longer
expected to occur as designated, the gains or losses are
recognised immediately in the statement of financial performance.
F-106
SOUTH PACIFIC TYRES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
Note 1. |
Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
All other hedge transactions are initially recorded at the
relevant rate at the date of the transaction. Hedges outstanding
at reporting date are valued at the rates ruling on that date
and any gains or losses are brought to account in the statement
of financial performance.
Cost or gains arising at the time of entering into the hedge are
deferred and amortised over the life of the hedge.
Borrowing costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or
premiums relating to borrowings and amortisation of ancillary
costs incurred in connection with arrangement of borrowings.
Interest payments in respect of financial instruments classified
as liabilities are included in borrowing costs.
Where interest rates are hedged or swapped, the borrowing costs
are recognised net of any effect of the hedge or the swap.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to
qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets which take more
than 12 months to get ready for their intended use or sale.
In these circumstances, borrowing costs are capitalised to the
cost of the asset. Where funds are borrowed specifically for the
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset,
the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is those incurred in
relation to that borrowing, net of any interest earned on those
borrowings. Where funds are borrowed generally, borrowing costs
are capitalised using a weighted average capitalisation rate.
Income tax is only provided for in the financial statements in
respect of the corporate entities forming part of the
consolidated entity of South Pacific Tyres.
The controlled entities adopt the income statement liability
method of tax effect accounting.
Income tax expense is calculated on operating profit adjusted
for permanent differences between taxable and accounting income.
The tax effect of timing differences, which arise from the items
being brought to account in different periods for income tax and
accounting purposes, is carried forward in the statement of
financial position as a future income tax benefit or a provision
for deferred income tax.
Future income tax benefits are not brought to account unless
realisation of the asset is assured beyond reasonable doubt.
Future income tax benefits relating to tax losses are only
brought to account when their realisation is virtually certain.
The tax effects of capital losses are not recorded unless
realisation is virtually certain.
|
|
(i) |
Accounting for Acquisitions |
Acquired businesses are accounted for on the basis of the cost
method. Fair values are assigned at the date of acquisition to
all the identifiable underlying assets acquired and to the
liabilities assumed. Specific assessment is undertaken at the
date of acquisition of any additional costs to be incurred.
F-107
SOUTH PACIFIC TYRES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
Note 1. |
Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase consideration
plus incidental costs over the fair value of the identifiable
net assets acquired on the acquisition of the business, is
amortised to the statement of financial performance using the
following criteria:
|
|
|
Goodwill Acquired |
|
Write-Off Period |
|
|
|
Up to $1.25m
|
|
Written off over 5 years in equal instalments, but at a
rate of not less than $250,000 pa |
Over $1.25m
|
|
Written off over 20 years on a straight line basis, but at
a rate of not less than $250,000 pa |
The unamortised balance of goodwill is reviewed at least
annually. Where the balance exceeds the value of expected future
benefits, the difference is charged to the statement of
financial performance.
For the purposes of this review process, goodwill is allocated
to cash generating units (which equates to the consolidated
entitys reportable business units) upon acquisition.
Acquired businesses can readily be allocated to one of the
business units on the basis of product manufactured and/or
marketed.
All assets acquired, including property, plant and equipment and
intangibles other than goodwill, are initially recorded at their
cost of acquisition at the date of acquisition, being the fair
value of the consideration provided plus incidental costs
directly attributable to the acquisition. Acquired in-process
research and development is only recognised as a separate asset
when future benefits are expected beyond any reasonable doubt to
be recoverable.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred,
the amounts payable are recorded at their present value,
discounted at the rate applicable to the consolidated entity if
a similar borrowing were obtained from an independent financier
under comparable terms and conditions. The unwinding of the
discount is treated as interest expense.
The costs of assets constructed or internally generated by the
consolidated entity, other than goodwill, include the cost of
materials and direct labour. Directly attributable overheads and
other incidental costs are also capitalised to the asset.
Borrowing costs are capitalised to qualifying assets as set out
in Note 1(g).
Expenditure, including that on internally generated assets other
than research and development costs, is only recognised as an
assets when the entity controls future economic benefits as a
result of the costs incurred that are probable and can be
measured reliably. Costs attributable to feasibility and
alternative approach assessments are expensed as incurred.
|
|
|
Subsequent Additional Costs |
Costs incurred on assets subsequent to initial acquisition are
capitalised when it is probable that future economic benefits in
excess of the originally assessed performance of the asset will
flow to the consolidated entity in future years, otherwise,
expensed as incurred.

(j) |
Use and Revisions of Accounting Estimates |
The preparation of the financial report requires the making of
estimates and assumptions that affect the recognised amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions
are based on historical experience and various other factors
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis of making the judgements about
carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are viewed on an
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision
affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and
future periods if the revision affects both current and future
periods.
(k) Receivables Note 8
The collectibility of debts is assessed at reporting date and
specific provision is made for any doubtful accounts.
Trade debtors to be settled within agreed terms are carried at
amounts due.
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods
are carried at the lower of cost allocated and net realisable
value.
Cost includes direct materials, direct labour, other direct
variable costs and allocated production overheads necessary to
bring inventories to their present location and condition, based
on normal operating capacity of the production facilities.
The cost of manufacturing inventories and work-in-progress are
assigned on a first-in, first-out basis. Costs arising from
exceptional wastage are expensed as incurred.
Net realisable value is determined on the basis of each
inventory lines normal selling pattern. Expenses of
marketing, selling and distribution to customers are estimated
and are deducted to establish net realisable value.

Note 1. |
Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Leases under which the company assumes substantially all the
risks and benefits of ownership are classified as finance
leases. Other leases are classified as operating leases.
Payments made under operating leases are expensed on a straight
line basis over the term of the lease, except where an
alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of
benefits to be derived from the leased property. Also refer to
Note 23.
|
|
(o) |
Recoverable Amount of Non-Current Assets Valued on Cost
Basis |
The carrying amount of non-current assets valued on the cost
basis are reviewed to determine whether they are in excess of
their recoverable amount at reporting date. If the carrying
amount of a non-current asset exceeds its recoverable amount,
the asset is written down to the lower amount. The write-down is
expensed in the reporting period in which it occurs.
Where a group of assets working together supports the generation
of cash inflows, recoverable amount is assessed in relation to
that group of assets. In assessing recoverable amounts of
non-current assets, the relevant cash flows have not been
discounted to their present value.
|
|
(p) |
Depreciation and Amortisation |
The components of major assets that have materially different
useful lives, are effectively accounted for as separate assets,
and are separately depreciated.
All non-current assets have limited useful lives and are
depreciated/ amortised using the straight line method over their
estimated useful lives.
Assets are depreciated or amortised from the date of acquisition
or, in respect of internally constructed assets, from the time
an asset is completed and held ready for use.
Depreciation and amortisation rates and methods are reviewed
annually for appropriateness. When changes are made, adjustments
are reflected prospectively in current and future periods only.
Depreciation and amortisation are expensed, except to the extent
that they are included in the carrying amount of another asset
as an allocation of production overheads.
The depreciation/ amortisation rates used for each class of
asset are as follows:

Statement of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) |
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future
for goods or services received. Trade accounts payable are
settled within agreed terms.
|
|
(r) |
Interest Bearing Liabilities Note 15 |
Bank loans are recognised at their principal amount, subject to
set-off arrangements. Interest expense is accrued at the
contracted rate.
Debentures, bills of exchange and notes payable are recognised
when issued and the net proceeds received, with the premium or
discount on issue amortised over the period of maturity.
Interest expense is recognised on an effective yield basis.
|
|
|
Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave, Sick Leave and Non-Monetary
Benefits |
Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, salaries, annual
leave and sick leave expected to be settled within
12 months of the year-end represent present obligations
resulting from employees services provided up to the
reporting date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on
remuneration wage and salary rates that the consolidated entity
expects to pay as at reporting date including related on-costs.
Related on-costs have been included in trade creditors.
The provision for employee benefits to long service leave
represents the present value of the estimated future cash
outflows to be made resulting from employees services
provided to reporting date.
The provision is calculated using the expected future increases
in wage and salary rates including related on-costs and expected
settlement dates based on turnover history and is discounted
using the rates attaching to national government bonds at
reporting date which most closely match the terms of maturity of
the related liabilities. The unwinding of the discount is
treated as long service leave expense.
The partnership and its controlled entities contribute to
various defined benefit and accumulation superannuation plans.
Contributions are recognised as an expense as they are made.
Further information is set out in Note 26.
A provision is recognised when there is a legal, equitable or
constructive obligation as a result of a past event and it is
probable that a future sacrifice of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation, the timing or amount of which
is uncertain.
If the effect is material, a provision is determined by
discounting the expected future cash flows (adjusted for
expected future risks) required to settle the obligation at a
pre tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the
time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is treated as part of the expense
related to the particular provision.

Restructuring and Rationalisation |
A provision for restructuring including termination benefits is
only recognised when a detailed plan has been approved and the
restructuring has either commenced or been publicly announced.
Costs relating to ongoing activities are not provided for. The
liability for termination benefits are included in the provision
for Rationalisation and restructure (Note 16).
Provision is made for non-cancellable operating lease rentals
payable on surplus leased premises when it is determined that no
substantive future benefit will be obtained from its occupancy
and sub-lease rentals are less.
The estimate is calculated based of discounted net future cash
flows, using the interest rate implicit in the lease or an
estimate thereof.
Under AGAAP, Advertising is generally expensed as the service is
performed. Costs incurred under the consolidated entitys
cooperative advertising program with dealers and franchisees are
recorded as reductions of sales as related revenues are
recognised.
|
|
(v) |
Environmental Remediation |
The consolidated entity expenses environmental expenditures
related to existing conditions resulting from past or current
operations and from which no current or future benefit is
discernible. South Pacific Tyres determines its liability on a
site by site basis and records a liability at the time when it
is probable and can be reasonably estimated.
|
|
Note 2. |
Change in Accounting Policy |
The consolidated entity have applied the revised AASB 1028
Employee Benefits for the first time from
1 July 2002.
The liability for wages and salaries, annual leave and sick
leave is now calculated using the remuneration rates the
consolidated entity expects to pay as at each reporting date,
not wage and salary rates current at reporting date.
The initial adjustments to the consolidated financial report as
at 1 July 2002 as a result of this change are:
|
|
|
|
|
$103,373 increase in provision for employee benefits |
|
|
|
$103,373 decrease in opening retained profits |
As a result of this change in accounting policy, employee
benefits expense increased by $139,957 and the income tax
expense decreased by $2,222 for the year to 30 June 2003.

An amount of $48,389,177 of taxable income must be earned to
allow for the realisation of the deferred tax assets in the
foreseeable future. The combined taxable income of Tyre
Marketers (Australia) Limited and SACRT Trading Pty Ltd in 2004
was $16,687,301 (2003 $6,919,370) and (2002 $36,556,061 loss).
In the opinion of the directors of the consolidated entity, it
is virtually certain that the results of future operations will
generate sufficient taxable income to realise the deferred tax
assets.
The consolidated entity has unrecognised capital tax losses of
$21,271,173 in 2004 (2003 $22,081,014) and (2002 $22,817,537).

Note 6. |
Taxation (Continued) |
As a consequence of the substantive enactment of the Tax
Consolidation legislation and since the consolidated entity had
not notified the Australian Tax Office at the date of signing
this report of the implementation date for the tax
consolidation, the consolidated entity has applied UIG39
Effects of Proposed Tax Consolidation Legislation on
Deferred Tax Balances. There was no impact on the
consolidated entitys future income tax benefits, as at
30 June 2004.

Partner Loans Pacific Dunlop Tyres Pty Ltd &
Goodyear Tyres Pty Ltd
On October 19, 2001, the partners in South Pacific Tyres
(SPT) signed an agreement setting forth a plan to
restructure certain operations of the consolidated entity,
details of which are set forth in two agreements the
Australian Deed and the Co-ordination Deed (the
Agreements.) The Agreements require the partners to
advance (in one or more tranches) up to $56.3 million to
the consolidated entity. As of June 30, 2003, the amounts
due to each partner (including principal and interest) were
$55.5 million compared to $30.5 million at June 30,
2003. Interest on the outstanding portion of the loan which is
compounded and calculated at 90 day intervals based on the
90 day bank bill rate plus a margin of 0.6% per annum.
Also included in the Agreements, is a put and call option giving
the partners the right to acquire from the other partner, that
partners interest in the partnership. The earliest date
this provision can be exercised is August 15, 2005 (the
put option date) by Pacific Dunlop Tyres Pty Ltd
(PDL.) Beginning with the put option date, PDL has
twelve months during which they may exercise their put option.
At the end of this twelve month period, Goodyear Tyres Pty Ltd
will have the right to exercise their call option during the
subsequent twelve month period.
The loans mature at the earlier of:
|
|
|
|
|
PDL exercising the put option (no earlier than August 2005); |
|
|
|
the tenth anniversary of the Agreements (October 2011); and |
|
|
|
the dissolution of the partnership (not expected.) |
Bank Loans
Pacific Dunlop Tyres Pty Ltd and Goodyear Tyres Pty Ltd
(together comprising the SPT partnership in Australia) along
with SPTs Australian controlled entities, are borrowers
under bank facilities (the Facilities) provided by a
group of banks referred to as the Lenders.
At June 30, 2004, the Facilities provided for borrowings of
up to $79.7 million of which, $2.4 million was unused. In
August 2003, the unsecured bank facilities were renewed for one
year and restructured to reduce their size and to provide
security to the Lenders by way of a fixed and floating charge
over certain assets. Secured bank loans and overdrafts rank
ahead in priority order of other interest bearing liabilities.
Also in August 2004, a guarantee was provided by The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company (U.S.).
Interest on the facilities is calculated using the bank bill
rate in effect at the time of borrowing plus a margin of up to
1.8% depending on the type of advance. The borrowers must also
pay a fee equal to 3.00% per annum on the facility limit
regardless of utilization.
In addition to providing cash advances, the Facilities may be
used for other purposes including borrowings relating to trade
finance (such as bid/performance bonds and shipping guarantees),
performance and financial guarantees, leasing, business credit
cards, and payroll electronic payment requirements.
Accounts Receivable Financing
During November 2001, the consolidated entity entered into an
agreement with a major financial institution in relation to the
securitisation of trade receivables. Under this arrangement,
eligible receivables are transferred to a SPT Trust Special
Purpose Vehicle (SPV) in return for cash and a
subordinated loan amount. The SPV is managed by one
of the bank facility lenders. Interest on the facility is
calculated using the one month bank bill rate (determined each
monthly settlement date) plus a margin. This facility must be
renewed on November 2nd 2006.

Additional Financial Instruments Disclosure (continued) |
Interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements
Interest rate swaps allow the consolidated entity to swap
floating rate borrowings into fixed rates. Maturities of swap
contracts are principally between one to five years.
Each contract involves quarterly payment or receipt of the net
amount of interest. At 30 June 2004 the fixed rates were
5.9% (2003: 5.7% to 5.9%) (2002: 5.5% to 5.9%) and floating
rates were at bank bill rates plus the consolidated
entitys credit margin. The weighted average effective
floating interest rate at 30 June 2004 was 5.9% (2003:
5.8%) (2002: 5.7%).
Interest rate risk exposures
The consolidated entitys exposure to interest rate risk
and the effective weighted average interest rate for classes of
financial assets and financial liabilities is set out below:

unrealised gains and losses on the contracts, together with the
costs of the contracts, will be deferred and then recognised in
the financial statements at the time the underlying transaction
occurs as designated. The gross deferred gains and losses on

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL

|
Note 22. |
Additional Financial Instruments Disclosure (continued) |
When the underlying transaction has occurred as designated, the
effect of the hedge has been recognised in the financial
statements.
(c) Commodity Price Risk
The consolidated entity does not enter into futures contracts to
hedge (or hedge a proportion of) commodity purchase prices on
anticipated specific purchase commitments of natural rubber.
(d) Credit Risk Exposures
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if
counterparties failed to perform as contracted.
|
|
|
Recognised Financial Instruments |
The credit risk on financial assets, excluding investments, of
the consolidated entity which have been recognised on the
statement of financial position, is the carrying amount, net of
any provision for doubtful debts.
The consolidated entity minimises concentrations of credit risk
by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and
counterparties in various countries.
The consolidated entity is not materially exposed to any
individual overseas country or individual customer.
Concentrations of credit risk on trade debtors and term debtors
due from customers are the motor vehicle and transport
industries.
Unrecognised Financial Instruments
Credit risk on derivative contracts which have not been
recognised on the statement of financial position is minimised
as counterparties are recognised financial intermediaries with
acceptable credit ratings determined by a recognised ratings
agency.
Interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts are subject
to credit risk in relation to the relevant counterparties, which
are principally large banks.
As all futures contracts are transacted through a recognised
futures exchange, credit risk associated with these contracts is
minimal.
(e) Net Fair Values of Financial Assets and
Liabilities
Net fair values of financial assets and liabilities are
determined by the consolidated entity on the following basis:
Recognised Financial
Instruments
The carrying amounts of bank term deposits, trade debtors, other
debtors, bank overdrafts, accounts payable, bank loans and
employee entitlements approximate net fair value.
Unrecognised Financial
Instruments
The valuation of financial instruments not recognised on the
statement of financial position detailed in this note reflects
the estimated amounts which the consolidated entity expects to
pay or receive to terminate

contracts at their current market rates as at reporting date.

using standard valuation techniques.

Events Subsequent to Balance Date |
This financial report has been prepared in accordance with
Australian accounting standards and other financial reporting
requirements (Australian GAAP). The differences between
Australian GAAP and IFRS identified to date as potentially
having a significant effect on the consolidated entitys
financial performance and financial position are summarised
below. The summary should not be taken as an exhaustive list of
all the differences between Australian GAAP and IFRS. No attempt
has been made to identify all disclosure, presentation or
classification differences that would affect the manner in which
transactions or events are presented.

SOUTH PACIFIC TYRES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL

|
|
Note 29. |
Events Subsequent to Balance Date (Continued) |
The consolidated entity has not quantified the effects of the
differences discussed below. Accordingly there can be no
assurances that the consolidated financial performance and
financial position as disclosed in this financial report would
not be significantly different if determined in accordance with
IFRS.
Regulatory bodies that promulgate Australian GAAP and IFRS have
significant ongoing projects that could affect the differences
between Australian GAAP and IFRS described below and the impact
of these differences relative to the consolidated entitys
financial reports in the future. The potential impacts on the
consolidated entitys financial performance and financial
position of the adoption of IFRS, including system upgrades and
other implementation costs which may be incurred, have not been
quantified as at the transition date of 1 July 2004 due to
the short timeframe between finalisation of the IFRS standards
and the date of preparing this report. The impact of future
years will depend on the particular circumstances prevailing in
those years.
The board has established a formal project, monitored by a
steering committee, to achieve transition to IFRS reporting. The
companys implementation project consists of three phases
as described below.
|
|
|
|
|
Assessment and planning phase |
|
|
|
Design phase |
|
|
|
Implementation phase |
Except for certain training that has been given to operational
staff, the company has not yet commenced the implementation
phase. However, the company expects this phase to be
substantially complete by 30 June 2005.
The key potential implications of the conversion to IFRS on the
consolidated entity are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
financial instruments must be recognised in the statement of
financial position and all derivatives and most financial assets
must be carried at fair value |
|
|
|
income tax will be calculated based on the balance
sheet approach, which may result in more deferred tax
assets and liabilities and, as tax effects follow the underlying
transaction, some tax effects will be recognised in equity |
|
|
|
surpluses and deficits in the defined benefit superannuation
plans sponsored by the entities within the consolidated entity
will be recognised in the statement of financial position and
the statement of financial performance |
|
|
|
revaluation increments and decrements relating to revalued
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets will be
recognised on an individual asset basis, not a class of asset
basis |
|
|
|
intangible assets: |
|
|
|
|
|
internally generated intangible assets will not be recognised |
|
|
|
intangible assets can only be revalued if there is an active
market |
|
|
|
|
|
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives will
be tested for impairment annually and will not be amortised |
|
|
|
impairment of assets will be determined on a discounted basis,
with strict tests for determining whether goodwill and cash
generating operations have been impaired |
|
|
|
changes in accounting policies will be recognised by restating
comparatives rather than making current year adjustments with
note disclosure of prior year effects. |

Summary of Significant Differences Between Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles in Australia and Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles in the United States
RESTATED |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
Australia (AGAAP), which differ in certain significant respects
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States (US GAAP). Pursuant to certain rules and regulations
of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
financial statements to be included in filings with the SEC that
are prepared on a basis of accounting other than US GAAP are
required to provide a description of the significant differences
and their effects on net income and equity in arriving at such
amounts in accordance with US GAAP.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys consolidated
financial statements as of June 30, 2003 and 2002 and for
each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30,
2003, it was determined that

(Continued) |
information previously provided with respect to material
differences and the effects of such differences on the
determination of net loss and partners equity in
accordance with US GAAP was inaccurate and incomplete. Those
previously issued consolidated financial statements indicated
(i) a reduction of $10.6 million and
$10.7 million as of June 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, in arriving at partners equity pursuant to
US GAAP would be required to eliminate the effects of an
asset revaluation reserve recognized in partners equity
under AGAAP; (ii) a decrease in depreciation expense of
$125,000 would be required in arriving at net loss pursuant to
US GAAP for each of the years in the three-year period
ended June 30, 2003 to reflect the elimination of the asset
revaluation reserve described above and; (iii) that there
were no further adjustments of a material nature that would be
required to be included in the determination of net loss and
partners equity pursuant to US GAAP.
Accordingly, the information set out in notes 32 and 33
provides, as at June 30th 2004, 2003 and 2002 and for each
of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2004 a
description of the material differences and their effects in
reconciling net loss and partners equity as reported under
AGAAP in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to
such amounts pursuant to US GAAP. As indicated above,
information as of, and for each of the years in the two-year
period ended June 30th 2003 have been presented on a
restated basis substantially in their entirety. In addition, the
Company has supplementally included disclosures required
pursuant to US GAAP that have not otherwise been provided in the
consolidated financial statements prepared under AGAAP.
|
|
Note 32. |
Major Differences Between Australian GAAP and US GAAP |
(a) Property, Plant and Equipment
As permitted by AGAAP, certain property, plant and equipment has
been revalued by South Pacific Tyres at various times in prior
financial periods. Revaluation increments have increased the
carrying value of the assets and accordingly the depreciation
charges are different from those which would be required on a
historical cost basis pursuant to US GAAP. As a result, a
reconciliation adjustment is required to eliminate this effect
for US GAAP.
Additionally, US GAAP has specific criteria in regard to
assets designated as held for sale versus
held for use. Accordingly, certain impairment charges
taken under AGAAP may result in reversal under US GAAP, but
with ongoing accelerated depreciation charges. Furthermore,
certain assets written down to fair value under
AGAAP may continue to be further depreciated under US GAAP
requirements if the held for sale classification
criteria are not fully satisfied.
The annual depreciation and impairment charges under
US GAAP are lower than the amounts reflected in the AGAAP
consolidated financial statements for the years ended 2002 and
2004 for certain assets. This results in a higher net income for
US GAAP purposes of $430,414 for the year ended June 2002
and $128,000 for the year ended June 2004. For the year ended
June 2003, and having regard to certain accelerated depreciation
charges under US GAAP, depreciation expense would be higher
than the amount reflected in the AGAAP consolidated financial
statements. Consequently, US GAAP net income for the year
ended June 2003 would be lower by $157,714. The above policy
also causes differences in reported gains and losses on the sale
of property, plant and equipment. Gains and losses for AGAAP are
based on consideration less revalued amounts net of accumulated
depreciation and amortisation. For US GAAP purposes gains
and losses are determined having regard to depreciated
historical cost, and net revaluation reserves applicable to
assets sold are reported in Income. The effect of this is to
decrease US GAAP net income by $8,338 in the year ended
30 June 2002.

SOUTH PACIFIC TYRES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
Note 32. |
Major Differences Between Australian GAAP and US GAAP
(Continued) |
In the year ended 30 June 2004 the effect is to increase
net income by $195,678.
For US GAAP purposes the Company follows the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144 Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. SFAS
No. 144 superseded SFAS No. 121 Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to
be Disposed of and was adopted by the Company effective
1 July 2002. SFAS No. 144 retains the requirements of
SFAS No. 121 to (a) recognise an impairment loss if
the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable
from its undiscounted cash flows and (b) measure an
impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount
and fair value of the asset less estimated costs to sell and
expands specific criteria relative to the classification and
accounting for such assets.
SFAS No. 144 also requires that long lived assets to be
abandoned, exchanged for a similar productive asset, or
distributed to owners in a spin-off be considered held and used
until the asset is disposed of, exchanged or distributed.
(b) Minority Interests
Outside Equity interests are included as part of total Equity
under AGAAP. The reconciliation to US GAAP in Note 33 has
excluded these from Partners Equity in 2002 consistent
with US GAAP treatment. The entity in which the outside equity
interest existed was sold in the year ended 30 June 2002.
(c) Provisions
The term provisions is used in AGAAP to designate
accrued expenses with no definitive payment date. Classification
between current and non-current is generally based on management
assessments, as subject to audit.
(d) Pension Plans
The consolidated entity sponsors contributory and
non-contributory accumulation and defined benefit pension plans
covering substantially all employees. The defined benefit plans
generally provide benefits based on salary in the period prior
to retirement. All defined benefit plans are funded based on
actuarial determination, and contribution levels are revised, on
a regular basis so as to ensure that the plans are fundamentally
maintained on a fully funded basis. Actuarial calculations have
been carried out for the defined benefit funds and the material
provisions of the plans are as detailed in Note 26. The
majority of assets of the funds are invested in pooled
superannuation trusts in the case of the Australian funds and
equity securities for other major funds. Limited disclosure in
respect of pension plans is presently required by AGAAP. Under
AGAAP the actual contributions to the various pension plans are
recorded as an expense in the Statement of Financial Performance
in the period they are paid or accrued. The disclosure
requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87 (SFAS No. 87) and No. 132 (SFAS
No. 132 as revised) have been included in Note 33 to these
consolidated financial statements. The consolidated entity
reports pension plans aggregated where allowed by SFAS
No. 87. Additionally, an adjustment is made to recognise
the measurement principles of SFAS No. 87 and related
standards in determining net income and shareholders
equity under US GAAP.
(e) Statement of Cash Flows
Net profit (loss) determined under AGAAP differs in certain
respects from the amount determined in accordance with
US GAAP.
F-143
SOUTH PACIFIC TYRES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
Note 32. |
Major Differences Between Australian GAAP and US GAAP
(Continued) |
A reconciliation of net profit (loss) according to
US GAAP to Cash Flows From Operating Activities under
US GAAP is provided.
There are no material differences between net cash provided by
(used in) financing and investing activities determined in
accordance with AGAAP and such amounts determined in accordance
with US GAAP.
Under AGAAP, cash is defined as cash on hand and deposits
repayable on demand, less overdrafts repayable on demand.
Under US GAAP, cash and cash equivalents are defined as
cash and investments with original maturities of three months or
less, and do not include bank overdrafts or restricted deposits.
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2004, 2003 and
2002 would have been $56,435,875, $15,229,939 and $37,100,672
respectively, under US GAAP.
(f) Income Taxes
Under AGAAP, deferred tax assets (future income tax benefits)
attributable to temporary differences are only brought to
account when their realisation is assured beyond reasonable
doubt. Future income tax benefits related to tax losses are only
brought to account when their realisation is virtually certain.
At each respective reporting date the value of gross tax losses
for which future tax benefits have been brought to account under
AGAAP totalled $29,183,817 in June 2004, (2003 $44,173,986) and
(2002 $53,137,787). These losses have no expiry date. Refer
Note 6(c). According to US GAAP deferred tax assets
are only brought to account when their realisation is more
likely that not. As US GAAP represents a lower threshold
for assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets as
compared to AGAAP, there is no material effect in arriving at
net profit (loss) under US GAAP.
The SPT operations are conducted through the Partnership (non
taxable entity), and by its subsidiary TMA. As TMA
is a stand-alone taxable entity certain US GAAP adjustments
related to TMA are subject to tax effects. The majority of the
US GAAP adjustments are in respect of the Partnership, the
results of which are taxed in the hands of the Partners.
Accordingly, a substantial number of the adjustments have no tax
effect in the SPT consolidated financial statement
reconciliation.
The consolidated entity has (gross) capital tax losses of
$21,271,173 in 2004 (2003 $22,081,014) and (2002 $22,817,537).
These losses have no expiry date. Total capital losses are
offset by a valuation allowance. The adequacy of the valuation
allowance is regularly assessed. The valuation allowance in
respect of the capital losses decreased by $242,952 and $220,957
for the years ended 30 June 2004 and 2003, respectively.

As the amount of current deferred tax items are not material in
nature, all deferred tax assets have been presented as non
current in the Statement of Financial Position.
(g) Accounting for Goodwill
Shares in controlled entities are valued on acquisition at the
holding companys cost. Any difference between the fair
value of net assets acquired and cost is recognised as goodwill.
Under AGAAP, goodwill is amortised on a straight line basis over
varying periods not exceeding 20 years.
In accounting for business combinations, the Company follows
SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. SFAS
No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be
used for all business combinations completed after 30 June
2002 which is consistent with AGAAP. SFAS No. 141 also
specifies the types of acquired intangible assets that are
required to be recognised and reported separately from goodwill
and those acquired intangible assets that are required to be
included in goodwill.
SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortised,
but instead tested for impairment at least annually. This
requirement creates a difference between the amortisation
required under AGAAP and US GAAP. SFAS No. 142 also
requires recognised intangible assets to be amortised over their
respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. SFAS
No. 142 also permits indefinite useful lives to be assigned
to recognised intangibles. Any recognised intangible assets
determined to have an indefinite useful life will not be
amortised, but instead tested for impairment in accordance with
the SFAS No. 142 until its life is determined to no longer
be indefinite.
The Company has determined it has one reporting unit consistent
with its single operating segment.

Major Differences Between Australian GAAP and US GAAP
(Continued) |
SFAS No. 142 requires goodwill and other intangible assets
to be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. A
reporting unit is the same as, or one level below, an operating
segment as defined by SFAS No. 131 Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
Accordingly, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives are tested for impairment annually or when events
or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Any
material diminution in value is charged to the Statement of
Financial Performance for US GAAP purposes. For
US GAAP purposes no goodwill amortisation has been charged
against income since 1 July 2002, the effective date of SFAS
No. 142. Goodwill amortisation of $287,389 under AGAAP in
2004 and 2003 has been added back to income in the Statement of
Financial Performance for US GAAP purposes.
Goodwill attributable to sold businesses is brought to account
in determining the gain or loss on sale.
(h) Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges primarily consist of
interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts which, while
mitigating economic risks to which the economic entity is
exposed , do not qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP
pursuant to SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities as they relate to
hedging of anticipated transactions. These amounts are adjusted
in determining net profit (loss) according to US GAAP.
The fair value of the interest rate swaps as at June 2003 was an
unrealized loss of $517,350. The fair value at June 2004 was an
unrealized loss of $62,176. The effect of the necessary
reconciling adjustment is an increase in the US GAAP loss
for June 2003 of $517,350 and a decrease in the loss of $455,174
for the year ended June 2004.
|
|
(i) |
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities |
The nature of South Pacific Tyres business activities
necessarily involves the management of various financial and
market risks, including those related to changes in interest
rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices. South
Pacific Tyres uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate
or eliminate certain of those risks, as a component of its risk
management strategy. The Company does not use derivative
instruments for trading purposes.
Under AGAAP, derivative financial instruments may have hedge
accounting treatment applied if the hedging derivatives are
effective in reducing the exposure being hedged and are
designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract. Hedging
derivatives are accounted for in a manner consistent with the
accounting treatment of the hedged items.
For US GAAP purposes, the Company follows SFAS
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities as amended, which became effective for
South Pacific Tyres on 1 July 2000. Under SFAS
No. 133, as amended, all derivative instruments are
recognised in the Statement of Financial Position at their fair
values and changes in fair value are recognised immediately in
earnings, unless the derivatives qualify as hedges of future
cash flows or of investments in foreign operations. For
derivatives qualifying as hedges of future cash flows, the
effective portion of changes in fair value is recorded
temporarily in equity, then recognised in earnings along with
the related effects of the hedged items. Any ineffective portion
of hedges is reported in net profit (loss) as it occurs.
Under US GAAP, all derivatives are recognised on the
Statement of Financial Position at their fair value. On the date
the derivative is entered into South Pacific Tyres designates
the derivative as either a hedge of the fair value of a
recognised asset or liability or firm commitment (fair value
hedge) or of the variability of cash flows to be paid or
received related to a recognised asset, liability or forecasted
transaction (cash flow hedge).

Note 32. |
Major Differences Between Australian GAAP and US GAAP
(Continued) |
There is no material impact on net profit/(loss) as a result of
these differences as the fair value of the derivative
instruments at the balance sheet date is offset by the foreign
currency translation of the hedged receivables and payables
recorded at the forward rate for AGAAP to the spot rate at
balance date. Any net difference arising relates to the forward
points spread between the spot rate and the forward rate at the
balance sheet date which is not material. No US GAAP
adjustment has been recognized as a consequence.
In December 2000, Goodyear contracted to pay SPT an amount of
$28,500,000 in relation to a 10-year supply agreement commencing
in 2003. The amount was to be paid on 1 January 2003. As
there were no onerous conditions upon SPT as a result of the
contract, and because the receipt of the contribution did not
result in a change in the relative interests of the partners in
the partnership, the present value of the sum was recognised as
revenue under AGAAP in December 2000. SPT further recognised
interest income on the determined present value on an accrual
basis. Under US GAAP, SPT has recognised the amount of
$25,000,000 not as revenue, but as a capital contribution. The
capital contribution has been recognised in the period ended
30 June 2002, being the period in which the cash was
actually received from Goodyear.
|
|
(k) |
Provision for Environmental Remediation/ Impairment |
In December 2001, SPT recognized a liability to remediate its
Footscray and Thomastown idled manufacturing facilities to
prepare them for sale. The expenditure of $9,900,000 was
authorized by the SPT Board of Directors and, under AGAAP, was
recorded based on that approval. As a result of further
development of the disposal plan, and not withstanding that the
plan would not be completed within twelve months, $3,600,000 of
additional expenditure was authorised in April 2004 and an
additional liability was recorded under AGAAP.
The expenditure is to cover environmental remediation,
demolition and project management. This liability is included in
the provision for Rationalisation and Restructure in the AGAAP
consolidated balance sheet. Refer Note 16. In addition to the
actual cash outlays of $508,113 charged against the provision in
the year ended 30th June 2003 a further $1,506,970 was expended
and charged against this provision in the year ended 30th June
2004.
Under US GAAP, environmental liabilities are not recognised
until a company has a legal or constructive obligation to
remediate. Accordingly, because there is no such obligation to
remediate, for US GAAP purposes only the actual cash
outlays described above are recognised as expense when they were
incurred.
Accordingly, the net loss determined under US GAAP was
decreased by $2,093,000 as a result of the reversal of the
provision increase of $3,600,000 and the expensing of the actual
cash outlays charged against the provision in 2004 of $1,506,970.
In December 2001 and as referred to in (i) above, South
Pacific Tyres committed to the closedown of its Footscray and
Thomastown manufacturing facilities and to prepare them for
sale. Because, as a result of this decision, the plants were no
longer to generate operating cash flows, the asset carrying
values at the time were considered for impairment.
Under US GAAP, in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS 121 and SFAS 144, a one time impairment charge of
$7,800,000 was taken against property, plant and equipment in
2002 to write down the net book value of these facilities to the
estimated fair values attributable to the unremediated sites. In
2004 following
F-147
SOUTH PACIFIC TYRES AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
Note 32. |
Major Differences Between Australian GAAP and US GAAP
(Continued) |
the further development of the plans for remediation and sale of
the plants, and due to the plants not qualifying for held
for sale classification under US GAAP, a further
evaluation of impairment of the sites was undertaken. Based on
the valuations obtained, a further impairment charge of
$2,034,000 was required due to the reduction in the values of
the unremediated sites.
The further impairment charge of $2,034,000 significantly
offsets the reversal of the excess Environmental remediation
charge of $2,093,000 set out in (i) above. The net impact
of these items is to decrease the 2004 loss determined in
accordance with US GAAP by $59,030. Accordingly, the
cumulative net increase in US GAAP equity at June 2004 for
these items is $1,650,917.
In December 2000 South Pacific Tyres recognized under AGAAP, a
$6 million provision for redundancy costs for headcount
reduction. The provision was based on an external
consultants assessment of the required headcount reduction
to achieve certain identified overhead efficiencies. The project
was called Activity Alignment. The plan was not
completed and $4,046,953 was reversed in the year ended
30 June 2002 under AGAAP. The $6 million provision at
June 2001 did not meet US GAAP recognition criteria and as
a result, US GAAP net income in that period is higher by
the unspent amount of $4,046,953. In the year ended 30 June
2002 when the unspent amount was reversed for AGAAP, the net
income for US GAAP is $4,046,953 less.
|
|
(m) |
Manufacturing Plant Accelerated Depreciation |
In September 2001 the SPT Board of Directors authorized the
closure of operations at its Footscray and Thomastown
manufacturing facilities. A provision was recognized in December
2001 under AGAAP for the eventual write-off of plant and
equipment. The Thomastown facility was to remain partly in
operation until July 2002. Under US GAAP the plant and
equipment relating to this partial operation was subject to
accelerated depreciation for seven months in accordance with
SFAS 121, rather than immediate write off. At June 2002 one
months depreciation in the amount of $285,714 was still to
be brought to account having the effect of decreasing
US GAAP losses in the year ended June 2002 and increasing
US GAAP losses in the year ended June 2003.
|
|
(n) |
Tyre Marketers Tax Adjustment |
The Retail/Corporate restructuring provisions (see Note 4)
arose in a tax paying entity, Tyre Marketers (Australia) Ltd
(TMA). The provision was therefore tax effected at TMAs
effective rate of 30%. Accordingly, US GAAP adjustments
relating to TMA have been tax effected.
|
|
(o) |
Business Interruption |
In June 2002 South Pacific Tyres released $1,577,315 of the
rationalisation provision to net profit (loss) on the basis that
production levels and operating capacity of the tyre plant were
significantly reduced as a consequence of the restructuring
activities at Somerton. While AGAAP allows for costs associated
with effecting restructuring activities to be charged as a
component of a restructuring provision, it was not considered
appropriate under US GAAP. The specific cost cannot be
provided for under US GAAP as they are considered future
operating costs. This has the effect of increasing the net loss
according to US GAAP in the year ended June 2002 by
$1,577,316 and decreasing net loss according to US GAAP by
the same amount in the year ended June 2003.

Under AGAAP, advertising is generally expensed as the service is
performed. Under US GAAP, advertising is expensed as
incurred although there are exceptions to this, related to
co-operative advertising programs and advertising related
materials. Costs incurred under South Pacific Tyres
co-operative advertising program with dealers and franchisees
are initially deferred and then recorded as reductions of sales
as related revenues are recognized under AGAAP. No direct
response advertising is reported as an asset. The effect of this
difference is that under US GAAP, Partners equity is
lower by $840,000 after tax compared to that under AGAAP as such
amounts are expensed as incurred under US GAAP. This
difference relates to all periods presented as the Yellow Pages
advertising cost has remained consistent.

|
(q) |
Foreign Currency Translation Reserve |
In June 2002 South Pacific Tyres sold its interest in South
Pacific Tyres PNG Pty Ltd. Under AGAAP the accumulated foreign
currency translation reserve of $3,645,848 was transferred to
retained earnings. Under US GAAP the accumulated foreign
currency translation reserve included as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income for US GAAP, is
reported as part of the gain or loss on sale for the period
during which the sale occurs. Consequently the net loss
according to US GAAP for the year ended June 2002 is
greater than the loss according to AGAAP purposes by $3,645,848.
However, there is no effect on partners equity under
US GAAP.
From November 2001 South Pacific Tyres has maintained a program
for the continuous sale of substantially all its domestic trade
accounts receivable to the South Pacific Tyres Trust, a
bankruptcy remote qualifying special purpose vehicle (QSPV). The
QSPV is consolidated for AGAAP, as well as US GAAP, because
the program did not meet all the criteria for off balance sheet
treatment in accordance with SFAS 140 Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities. Accordingly there is no difference between
AGAAP and US GAAP treatment of the Securitisation Program.
The amount of the receivables securitised at June 2004 was
$115,149,129 (June 2003 $112,899,035) and (June 2002
$114,957,253).
The amount of interest paid by South Pacific Tyres to the QSPV
for the year ended June 2004 was $3,941,622 (June 2003
$3,543,248) and (June 2002 $2,068,668). South Pacific Tyres
retains the responsibility for servicing the receivables. As
receivables are collected the cash proceeds are used to purchase
additional receivables. The amount of service fees paid by the
QSPV to South Pacific Tyres was approximately $120,000 for the
year ended June 2004, $120,000 for the year ended 2003 and
$80,000 for the year ended 2002.
South Pacific Tyres and its controlled entities offer warranties
on the sale of certain of its products as required under the
Australian Trade Practices Act. For AGAAP, warranty expense is
charged as incurred. For US GAAP, a provision for
warranties has been recognised based on past claims experience,
sales history and other considerations. The effect of this
difference is that under US GAAP, Partners equity is
lower by $3,204,000 as compared to such amount pursuant to AGAAP.
Due to the consistency in the Companys operations, sales
generated, customer base, warranty offerings and historical cost
experience there has not been a material change in amount of
accrued obligation at the balance sheet date since 2000.

MRT Factory Costs to Sell Land and Buildings |
In fiscal 2001 South Pacific Tyres decided to close its medium
truck radial tyre plant at Somerton. $1,500,000 was recorded as
an accrued obligation under AGAAP for the costs associated with
the separation and ultimate sale of the land and buildings. In
October 2001 the South Pacific Tyres Board reconsidered its
decision and changed the classification of the site to
held for use and reversed the provision. Since the
AGAAP provision represented costs to sell and the
land and buildings were not considered to be impaired under the
held for use criteria pursuant to SFAS 121, the
provision was reversed for US GAAP purposes. As a result,
net profit according to US GAAP was increased by $1,500,000
in the year ended 30 June 2001 and reduced by the same amount
for US GAAP in the year ended 30 June 2002.
|
|
(u) |
Change in Accounting Policy Employee Benefits |
The consolidated entity has applied the revised AASB 1028
Employee Benefits for the first time from
1 July 2002. The liability for wages and salaries, annual
leave and sick leave is now calculated using the remuneration
rates the consolidated entity expects to pay as at each
reporting date, not wage and salary rates current at reporting
date.
Under AGAAP the initial adjustment of $103,373 to the
consolidated financial report as at 1 July 2002 as a result
of this change was charged directly to retained earnings. Under
US GAAP, this has been accounted for as a reduction of net
income of $103,373 in the year ended 30 June 2003.
Under AGAAP, interest revenue and proceeds from the sale of non
current assets are recorded as other revenues from ordinary
activities and the book basis of the assets and businesses sold
is included in expenses. Under US GAAP, interest revenue is
classified as other income and the difference between the sale
proceeds and the book basis of the assets and business sold
would be presented as a gain or loss and included in the
determination of net profit (loss). Accordingly, revenue for the
years 2004, 2003 and 2002 under US GAAP would have been
$818,736,638, $793,596,996 and $829,385,986, respectively.

The primary investment objective of the South Pacific Tyres Fund
within Equipsuper is to achieve a rate of return (after tax and
investment expenses) that exceeds inflation (CPI) increases
by at least 4.0% per annum over rolling three year periods.
The South Pacific Tyres partnership (SPT) has maintained
Pension Plan benefits for its Australian employees which has
comprised both Accumulation and Defined Benefit Components. Both
the Defined Benefit and Accumulation components of the Plan have
legally existed within a plan sponsored by its Australian
partner, Ansell Limited (Ansell).
SPT has maintained notional separation of the plan assets and
the benefit obligations for all periods presented. Accordingly
the accompanying financial information is intended to provide
relevant disclosures required pursuant to SFAS 87 and
SFAS 132 (revised) with respect to the defined benefit
and accumulation components of the SPT plan.
Effective 1 April 2004 legal separation from Ansell was achieved
and members were transferred out of the Pacific Dunlop
Superannuation Fund to Equipsuper (an independent superannuation
fund).

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q
instructions 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 generally accepted
accounting principles 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 Current Report on Form 8-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004 filed on June 20, 2005.
Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected in subsequent quarters or for the year ending
December 31, 2005.

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities |
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
(VIE) an Interpretation of ARB
No. 51, as amended by FASB Interpretation
No. 46R (collectively, FIN 46), we
consolidated two previously unconsolidated investments,
effective January 1, 2004. South Pacific Tyres (SPT), a 50%
owned manufacturer, marketer and exporter of tires in Australia
and New Zealand, and Tire and Wheel Assembly (T&WA), a 40%
owned wheel mounting operation in the United States, which ships
to original equipment manufacturers, are consolidated in all
periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
Restricted cash primarily consists of Goodyear contributions
made related to the settlement of the Entran II litigation
and proceeds received pursuant to insurance settlements. Refer
to Note 7, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, for
further information about Entran II claims. In addition, we
will, from time to time, maintain balances on deposit at various
financial institutions as collateral for borrowings incurred by
various subsidiaries, as well as cash deposited in support of
trade agreements and performance bonds. The availability of
these balances is restricted to the extent of the borrowings.
We use the intrinsic value method to measure the cost of
stock-based compensation. Accordingly, compensation cost for
stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted
market price of our common stock at the date of the grant over
the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Compensation cost for stock appreciation rights and performance
units is recorded based on the quoted market price of our stock
at the end of the reporting period.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards |
The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123R). Under the provisions of SFAS 123R,
companies are required to measure the cost of employee services
received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on
the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exception).
That cost will be recognized over the period during which an
employee is required to provide service in exchange for the
award, usually the vesting period. On April 14, 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved a delay
to the effective date of SFAS 123R. Under the new SEC rule,
SFAS 123R is effective for annual periods that begin after
June 15, 2005. SFAS 123R applies to all awards
granted, modified, repurchased or cancelled by us after
December 31, 2005 and to unvested options at the date of
adoption. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 123R to
have a material impact on our results of operations, financial
position or liquidity.
The FASB has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 151, Inventory Costs an amendment of
ARB No. 43, Chapter 4 (SFAS 151). The
provisions of SFAS 151 are intended to eliminate narrow
differences between the existing accounting standards of the
FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) related to inventory costs, in particular, the
treatment of abnormal idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs and spoilage. SFAS 151 requires that these costs be
recognized as current period charges regardless of the extent to
which they are considered abnormal. The provisions of
SFAS 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred during
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We are
currently assessing the potential impact of implementing
SFAS 151 on the consolidated financial statements.
FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47) an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS 143),
clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as
used in SFAS 143. The term refers to a legal obligation to
perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and
(or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that
may or may not be within the control of the entity. The
obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is
unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing
and (or) method of settlement. Thus, the timing and (or) method
of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly,
an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair
value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair
value of a liability for the
F-164
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized
when incurred generally upon acquisition,
construction, or development and (or) through the normal
operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and (or)
method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement
obligation should be factored into the measurement of the
liability when sufficient information exists. FIN 47 is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.
Retrospective application for interim financial information is
permitted but is not required. We are currently evaluating the
impact of FIN 47 on the consolidated financial statements
and will implement this new standard for the year ended
December 31, 2005, in accordance with its requirements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.
SFAS No. 154 is a replacement of APB No. 20 and
FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 provides
guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting
changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective
application as the required method for reporting a change in
accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance
for determining whether retrospective application of a change in
accounting principle is impracticable and for reporting a change
when retrospective application is impracticable. The reporting
of a correction of an error by restating previously issued
financial statements is also addressed by
SFAS No. 154. SFAS No. 154 is effective for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 2005. We will adopt this
pronouncement beginning in fiscal year 2006.
In June 2005, the FASB staff issued FASB Staff Position 143-1
Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste
Obligations (FSP 143-1) to address the accounting for
obligations associated with the Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the Directive)
adopted by the European Union. The Directive effectively
obligates a commercial user to incur costs associated with the
retirement of a specified asset that qualifies as historical
waste equipment. The commercial user should apply the provisions
of SFAS 143 and FIN 47 discussed above. FSP 143-1
shall be applied the later of the first reporting period ending
after June 8, 2005 or the date of the adoption of the law
by the applicable EU-member country. We adopted the FSP at
certain of our European operations where applicable legislation
was adopted. The impact of the adoption on the consolidated
financial statements was not significant.
Certain items previously reported in specific financial
statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the
current presentation.
NOTE 2. COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH RATIONALIZATION PROGRAMS
To maintain global competitiveness, we have implemented
rationalization actions over the past several years for the
purpose of reducing excess capacity, eliminating redundancies
and reducing costs.

2005 rationalization charges consisted of manufacturing and
corporate support group associate reductions in North American
Tire; manufacturing associate reductions and a sales function
reorganization in European Union Tire, and sales, marketing, and
research and development associate reductions in Engineered
Products.
During the third quarter of 2005, $9 million
($8 million after-tax or $0.04 per share) of new
charges were recorded for the plans initiated in 2005 primarily
for associate severance costs, including $1 million for
non-cash pension special termination benefits. Approximately 265
associates will be released under programs initiated in 2005, of
which approximately 175 were released by September 30, 2005.
For the first nine months of 2005, $4 million
($2 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) of net
reversals of reserves were recorded, which included
$15 million ($12 million after-tax or $.06 per
share) of reversals for rationalization actions no longer needed
for their originally-intended purposes. These reversals were
partially offset by $11 million ($10 million after-tax
or $0.05 per share) of new rationalization charges. The
$15 million of reversals consisted of $9 million of
associate-related costs for plans initiated in 2004 and 2003,
and $6 million primarily for non-cancelable leases that
were exited during the first quarter related to plans initiated
in 2001 and earlier. The $11 million of charges primarily
represented associate-related costs and consist of
$9 million for plans initiated in 2005 and $2 million
for plans initiated in 2004.
The accrual balance of $29 million at September 30,
2005 includes approximately $10 million related to
long-term non-cancelable lease costs and approximately
$19 million of other costs that are expected to be
substantially utilized within the next twelve months.
Accelerated depreciation charges were recorded for fixed assets
that will be taken out of service in connection with certain
rationalization plans initiated in 2003 and 2004 in the
Engineered Products and European Union Tire Segments. During the
third quarter of 2005 and 2004, $1 million was recorded for
accelerated depreciation charges as Cost of goods sold and
$1 million was recorded in 2004 as Selling, administrative
and general expense. For the first nine months of 2005 and 2004,
accelerated depreciation charges of $2 million and
$6 million, respectively, were recorded as Cost of goods
sold. Accelerated depreciation charges of $2 million was
recorded in the first nine months of 2004 as Selling,
administrative and general expense.
2004 rationalization activities consisted primarily of
warehouse, manufacturing and sales and marketing associate
reductions in Engineered Products, a farm tire manufacturing
consolidation in European Union Tire, administrative associate
reductions in North American Tire, European Union Tire and
corporate functional groups, and manufacturing, sales and
research and development associate reductions in North American
Tire. In fiscal year 2004, net charges were recorded totaling
$56 million ($52 million after-tax or $0.27 per
share).
F-166
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The net charges included reversals of $39 million
($32 million after-tax or $0.17 per share) related to
reserves from rationalization actions no longer needed for their
originally-intended purpose, and new charges of $95 million
($84 million after-tax or $0.44 per share). Included
in the $95 million of new charges were $77 million for
plans initiated in 2004, as described above. Approximately
1,400 associates will be released under programs initiated
in 2004, of which approximately 1,070 have been released to date
(430 during the first nine months of 2005). The costs of the
2004 actions consisted of $40 million related to future
cash outflows, primarily for associate severance costs,
$32 million in non-cash pension curtailments and
postretirement benefit costs and $5 million for
non-cancelable lease costs and other exit costs. Costs in 2004
also included $16 million related to plans initiated in
2003, consisting of $14 million of non-cancelable lease
costs and other exit costs and $2 million of associate
severance costs. The reversals are primarily the result of lower
than initially estimated associate severance costs of
$35 million and lower leasehold and other exit costs of
$4 million. Of the $35 million of associate severance
cost reversals, $12 million related to previously-approved
plans in Engineered Products that were reorganized into the 2004
warehouse, manufacturing, and sales and marketing associate
reductions.
Additional restructuring charges of $3 million related to
previously announced rationalization plans have not yet been
recorded and are expected to be incurred and recorded during the
next twelve months.

Financing fees and financial instruments in the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 included $47 million of debt
issuance costs written-off in connection with our refinancing
activities during the second quarter of 2005. This includes
approximately $30 million of previously unamortized fees
related to replaced facilities and $17 million of costs
related to the new facilities. In the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2004, $4 million and
$17 million, respectively, of deferred costs were
written-off in connection with our refinancing activities during
2004. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2004 we incurred
higher amortization of financing fees of approximately
$12 million related to higher deferred fee levels and
shorter amortization periods. Refer to Note 5, Financing
Arrangements, for further information on the 2005 refinancing
activities.
General & product liability discontinued
products includes charges for claims against us related to
asbestos personal injury claims, anticipated liabilities related
to Entran II claims and settlements with certain insurance
companies related to asbestos. During the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005, we recorded gains of
$14 million ($14 million after-tax or $0.07 per
share) and $61 million ($61 million after-tax or
$0.29 per share), respectively, from settlements with
certain insurance companies related to environmental and
asbestos coverage (included in general and product liability

insurance recoveries). A portion of the costs incurred by us
related to these claims had been recorded in prior years. Refer
to Note 7, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, for
further information.
Interest income consisted primarily of amounts earned on cash
deposits. The increase in 2005 was due primarily to higher
levels of cash deposits in the United States.
Gain on asset sales for the third quarter of 2005 included a
gain of $25 million ($25 million after-tax or
$0.12 per share) on the sale of the Wingtack adhesive
resins business in the North American Tire Segment. Refer to
Note 11, Asset Dispositions, for further information on the
sale of Wingtack. Gain on asset sales for the third quarter of
2004 included a net gain of $2 million ($1 million
after-tax or $0.01 per share) primarily on the sale of
assets in the European Union Tire Segment.
Gain on asset sales in the first nine months of 2005 included a
gain of $25 million ($25 million after-tax or
$0.12 per share) on the sale of the Wingtack adhesive
resins business in the North American Tire Segment and net gains
of $16 million ($15 million after-tax or
$0.07 per share) on the sales of other assets primarily in
the North American Tire Segment. Gain on asset sales in the
first nine months of 2004 included a net gain of $6 million
($4 million after-tax or $0.02 per share) on the sale
of assets in the North American Tire Segment, European Union
Tire Segment and Engineered Products.
Miscellaneous (income) expense included a gain $14 million
($7 million after-tax or $0.03 per share) during the
first nine months of 2005, related to a 2004 fire at a company
facility in Germany. The gain represents insurance recoveries in
excess of the net book value of assets destroyed and clean-up
expenses incurred by us at this facility. Goodyear has reached
final settlement with its insurance providers. Miscellaneous
(income) expense in the first nine months of 2004 included
$12 million ($12 million after-tax or $0.07 per
share) of expense for insurance fire loss deductibles related to
fires at company facilities in Germany, France and Thailand.

NOTE 4. |
PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK |
Basic earnings per share has been computed based on the average
number of common shares outstanding.
In the fourth quarter of 2004, we adopted the provisions of
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-08, The
Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per
Share. This pronouncement requires shares issuable under
contingent conversion provisions in a debt agreement to be
included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
regardless of whether the provisions of the contingent feature
have been met.
There are contingent conversion features included in our
$350 million 4% Convertible Senior Notes due 2034,
issued on July 2, 2004. Accordingly, average shares
outstanding diluted in the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2005 and the three month period
ended September 30, 2004, includes approximately
29 million contingently issuable shares. Average shares
outstanding diluted for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2004 does not include the effects of the
contingently issuable shares as inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive due to a net loss for the period. Net income per
share diluted in the three month periods ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the nine month period ended
September 30, 2005 also includes an earnings adjustment
representing avoided after-tax interest expense of
$4 million, $4 million and $12 million,
respectively, resulting from the assumed conversion of the Notes.
The Convertible Senior Notes became convertible on July 18,
2005 and remained convertible through September 30, 2005,
however, no Notes were converted. The Notes became convertible
again on October 18, 2005, at the option of the holder, and
will remain convertible through December 31, 2005. If all
outstanding notes were surrendered for conversion, the aggregate
number of shares of common stock issued would be approximately
29 million. The notes could be convertible after
December 31, 2005 if the sale price condition is met in any
future fiscal quarter or if any of the other conditions for
conversion set forth in the indenture governing the Notes are
met.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2005, approximately 23 million equivalent shares related to
stock options, restricted stock and performance grants with
exercise prices that were greater than the average market price
of our common shares were excluded from average shares
outstanding diluted, as inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive. For the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2004, approximately 22 million and
25 million, respectively, equivalent shares related to
stock options, restricted stock and performance grants with
exercise prices that were greater than the average market price
of our common shares were excluded from average shares
outstanding diluted, as inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive. In addition, for the first nine months of 2004,
2 million equivalent shares of stock options, restricted
stock and performance grants with exercise prices that were less
than the average market price of our common shares were excluded
from average shares outstanding diluted as we were
in a net loss position and, therefore, inclusion would have been
anti-dilutive.
The following table presents the computation of adjusted net
income (loss) used in computing net income (loss) per
share diluted. The computation assumes that
after-tax interest costs incurred on the 4% Convertible
Senior Notes due 2034 would have been avoided had the Notes been
converted as of July 1, 2005 and January 1, 2005 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and
July 2, 2004 for the three months ended September 30,
2004. Net income (loss) for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2004 does not include the after-tax interest
cost on the Notes due to a net loss for the period.

The Swiss franc bonds, Convertible Senior Notes and other Notes
have an aggregate book value amount of $2,936 million at

discounts totaling $3 million compared to
$3,101 million and $4 million, respectively, at
December 31, 2004. The principal and interest of the Swiss
franc bonds due 2006 were hedged by currency swap agreements at
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

$400 Million Senior Notes Offering |
On June 23, 2005, we completed an offering of
$400 million aggregate principal amount of
9.00% Senior Notes due 2015 in a transaction under
Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The senior notes are guaranteed by our U.S. and Canadian
subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under our
senior secured credit facilities. The guarantee is unsecured.
The proceeds were used to repay $200 million in borrowings
under our U.S. first lien revolving credit facility, and to
replace $190 million of the cash, that we used to pay the
$516 million principal amount of our
63/8%
Euro Notes due 2005 at maturity on June 6, 2005. In
conjunction with the debt issuance, we paid fees of
approximately $10 million, which are being amortized over
the term of the notes.
The Indenture governing the senior notes limits 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 the senior notes are assigned an
investment grade rating by Moodys and S&P and no
default has occurred or is continuing, certain covenants will be
suspended.
The following table presents information about long term fixed

The fair value was estimated using quoted market prices or
discounted future cash flows. The fair value exceeded the
carrying amount at September 30, 2005 and December 31,
2004 due primarily to lower market interest rates. The fair
value of the
65/8% Notes
due 2006 was partially hedged by floating rate swap contracts
with notional principal amounts totaling $200 million at
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
respectively. The fair value of our variable rate debt
approximated its carrying amount at September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004.
April 8, 2005 Refinancing
On April 8, 2005 we completed a refinancing in which we
replaced approximately $3.28 billion of credit facilities
with new facilities aggregating $3.65 billion. The new
facilities consist of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
a $1.5 billion first lien credit facility due
April 30, 2010 (consisting of a $1.0 billion revolving
facility and a $500 million deposit-funded facility); |
|
|
|
|
|
a $1.2 billion second lien term loan facility due
April 30, 2010; |
|
|
|
|
|
the Euro equivalent of approximately $650 million in credit
facilities for Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V.
(GDTE) due April 30, 2010 (consisting of
approximately $450 million in revolving facilities and
approximately $200 million in term loan facilities); and |
|
|
|
|
|
a $300 million third lien term loan facility due
March 1, 2011. |
|
In connection with the refinancing, we paid down and retired the
following facilities:
|
|
|
|
|
our $1.3 billion asset-based credit facility, due March
2006 (the $800 million term loan portion of this facility
was fully drawn prior to the refinancing); |
F-172
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
|
our $650 million asset-based term loan facility, due March
2006 (this facility was fully drawn prior to the refinancing); |
|
|
|
|
|
our $680 million deposit-funded credit facility due
September 2007 (there were $492 million of letters of
credit outstanding under this facility prior to the
refinancing); and |
|
|
|
|
|
our $650 million senior secured European facilities due
April 2005 (the $400 million term loan portion of this
facility was fully drawn prior to the refinancing). |
|
In conjunction with the refinancing, we paid fees of
approximately $57 million. In addition, we paid
approximately $20 million of termination fees associated
with the replaced facilities. We recognized approximately
$47 million of expense in the second quarter to write-off
fees associated with the refinancing, including approximately
$30 million of previously unamortized fees related to the
replaced facilities. The remaining fees are being amortized over
the term of the new facilities.
The new facilities have customary representations and warranties
including, as a condition to borrowing, material adverse change
representations in our financial condition since
December 31, 2004.
|
|
|
$1.5 Billion First Lien Credit Facility |
The new $1.5 billion first lien credit facility consists of
a $1.0 billion revolving facility and a $500 million
deposit-funded facility. Our obligations under these facilities
are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned
U.S. subsidiaries and by our wholly-owned Canadian
subsidiary, Goodyear Canada Inc. Our obligations under this
facility and our subsidiaries obligations under the
related guarantees are secured by collateral that includes,
subject to certain exceptions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
first-priority security interests in certain U.S. and Canadian
accounts receivable and inventory; |
|
|
|
|
|
first-priority security interests in and mortgages on our
U.S. corporate headquarters and certain of our
U.S. manufacturing facilities; |
|
|
|
|
|
first-priority security interests in the equity interests in our
U.S. subsidiaries and up to 65% of the equity interests in
our foreign subsidiaries, excluding GDTE and its subsidiaries
and certain other subsidiaries; and |
|
|
|
|
|
first-priority security interests in substantially all other
tangible and intangible assets, including equipment, contract
rights and intellectual property. |
|
The facility, which matures on April 30, 2010, contains
certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to
incur additional unsecured and secured indebtedness (including a
limit on accounts receivable transactions), and make investments
and sell assets beyond specified limits. Under certain
circumstances, borrowings under the facility are required to be
prepaid with proceeds of asset sales greater than
$15 million. The facility limits the amount of dividends we
may pay on our common stock in any fiscal year to
$10 million. This limit increases to $50 million in
any fiscal year if Moodys public senior implied rating and
Standard & Poors (S&P) corporate credit
rating improve to Ba2 or better and BB or better, respectively.
The facility also limits the amount of capital expenditures we
may make to $700 million in each year through 2010 (with
increases for the proceeds of equity issuances). Any unused
capital expenditures for a year may be carried over into
succeeding years.
We are not permitted to allow the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA
to Consolidated Interest Expense to fall below a ratio of 2.00
to 1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. In
addition, our ratio of Consolidated Secured Indebtedness (net of
cash in excess of $400 million) to Consolidated EBITDA is
not permitted to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00 at the end of any
fiscal quarter.
F-173
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base,
which is based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory,
with reserves which are subject to adjustment from time to time
by the administrative agent and the majority lenders at their
discretion (not to be exercised unreasonably). Adjustments are
based on the results of periodic collateral and borrowing base
evaluations and appraisals. If at any time 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.
Interest rates on the facility are dependent on the amount of
the facility that is available and unused.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the availability under the facility is greater than or equal
to $400 million, then drawn amounts (including amounts
outstanding under the deposit-funded facility) will bear
interest at a rate of 175 basis points over LIBOR, and
undrawn amounts under the facilities will be subject to an
annual commitment fee of 50 basis points; |
|
|
|
|
|
If the availability under the facility is less than
$400 million and greater than or equal to
$250 million, then drawn amounts (including amounts
outstanding under the deposit-funded facility) will bear
interest at a rate of 200 basis points over LIBOR, and
undrawn amounts under the facilities will be subject to an
annual commitment fee of 40 basis points; and |
|
|
|
|
|
If the availability under the facility is less than
$250 million, then drawn amounts (including amounts
outstanding under the deposit-funded facility) will bear
interest at a rate of 225 basis points over LIBOR, and
undrawn amounts under the facilities will be subject to an
annual commitment fee of 37.5 basis points. |
|
With respect to the deposit-funded facility, the lenders
deposited the entire $500 million of the facility in an
account held by the administrative agent, and those funds are
used to support letters of credit or borrowings on a revolving
basis, in each case subject to customary conditions. The full
amount of the deposit-funded facility is available for the
issuance of letters of credit or for revolving loans. As of
September 30, 2005, there were $498 million of letters
of credit issued under the deposit-funded facility. There were
no borrowings under the facility at September 30, 2005.

$1.2 Billion Second Lien Term
Loan Facility |
At closing, we used the entire availability under this facility
to pay down and retire our prior credit facilities. Our
obligations under this facility are guaranteed by most of our
wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and by our wholly-owned
Canadian subsidiary, Goodyear Canada Inc. and are secured by
second priority security interests in the same collateral
securing the $1.5 billion asset-based credit facility. The
facility contains covenants similar to those in the
$1.5 billion first lien credit facility. However, the
facility contains additional flexibility for the incurrence of
indebtedness, making of investments and asset dispositions, the
payment of dividends and the making of capital expenditures and
does not contain the two financial covenants that are in the
first lien credit facility. Under certain circumstances,
borrowings under the facility are required to be prepaid with
proceeds of asset sales greater than $15 million. Loans
under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 275 basis
points. As of September 30, 2005, this facility was fully
drawn.

Euro Equivalent of $650 Million
(505 Million)
Senior Secured European Credit Facilities |
These facilities consist of (i) a
195 million
European revolving credit facility, (ii) an additional
155 million
German revolving credit facility, and
(iii) 155 million
of German term loan facilities. We secure the
U.S. facilities described above and provide unsecured
guarantees to support these facilities. GDTE and certain of its
subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France and
Germany also provide guarantees.
F-174
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
GDTEs obligations under the facilities and the obligations
of subsidiary guarantors under the related guarantees are
secured by collateral that includes, subject to certain
exceptions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
first-priority security interests in the capital stock of the
principal subsidiaries of GDTE; and |
|
|
|
|
|
first-priority security interests in and mortgages on
substantially all the tangible and intangible assets of GDTE and
GDTEs subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg,
France and Germany, including certain accounts receivable,
inventory, real property, equipment, contract rights and cash
and cash accounts, but excluding certain accounts receivable and
cash accounts in subsidiaries that are or may become parties to
securitization programs. |
|
The facilities contain covenants similar to those in the
$1.5 billion first lien credit facility, with special
limits on the ability of GDTE and its subsidiaries to incur
additional unsecured and secured indebtedness, make investments
and sell assets beyond specified limits. The facilities also
limit the amount of capital expenditures that GDTE may make to
$200 million in 2005, $250 million in 2006 and
$300 million per year thereafter, with the unused amount in
any year carried forward to the succeeding years. In addition,
under the facilities we are not permitted to allow the ratio of
Consolidated Indebtedness (net of cash in excess of
$100 million) to Consolidated EBITDA of GDTE to be greater
than 2.75 to 1.00 at the end of any fiscal quarter. Under
certain circumstances, borrowings under the term facility are
required to be prepaid with proceeds of asset sales by GDTE and
its subsidiaries greater than $15 million. Loans under the
term loan facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 237.5 basis
points. With respect to the revolving credit facilities, we pay
an annual commitment fee of 75 basis points on the undrawn
portion of the commitments and loans bear interest at LIBOR plus
275 basis points. As of September 30, 2005, there were
$4 million of letters of credit issued under the European
revolving credit facility, $187 million was drawn under the
German term loan facilities and there were no borrowings under
the German or European revolving credit facilities.

$300 Million Third Lien Secured Term
Loan Facility |
At closing, we used the availability under this facility to pay
down and retire our prior credit facilities and pay certain fees
and expenses. Our obligations under this facility are guaranteed
by most of our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and by our
wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Goodyear Canada Inc. and are
secured by third priority security interests in the same
collateral securing the $1.5 billion asset-based credit
facility (however, the facility is not secured by any of the
manufacturing facilities that secure the first and second lien
facilities). The liens are pari-passu with the liens securing
our $650 million secured notes due 2011. The facility
contains covenants substantially identical to those contained in
the $650 million secured notes due 2011, which limit our
ability to incur additional indebtedness or liens, pay
dividends, make distributions and stock repurchases, make
investments and sell assets, among other limitations. Loans
under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 350 basis
points. As of September 30, 2005, this facility was fully
drawn.

|
International Accounts Receivable Securitization
Facilities (On-Balance-Sheet) |
On December 10, 2004, GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries
entered into a new five-year pan-European accounts receivable
securitization facility. The facility initially provided
165 million
(approximately $225 million) of funding. The facility was
subsequently expanded to
275 million
(approximately $331 million) and is subject to customary
annual renewal of back-up liquidity lines.
F-175
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The facility involves the twice-monthly 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 retained servicing responsibilities. It is an event
of default under the facility if:
|
|
|
|
|
|
the ratio of our Consolidated EBITDA to our Consolidated
Interest Expense falls below 2.00 to 1.00; |
|
|
|
|
|
the ratio of our Consolidated Secured Indebtedness (net of cash
in excess of $400 million) to our Consolidated EBITDA is
greater than 3.50 to 1.00; or |
|
|
|
|
|
the ratio of GDTEs third party indebtedness (net of cash
held by GDTE and its Consolidated subsidiaries in excess of
$100 million) to its consolidated EBITDA is greater than
2.75 to 1.00. |
|
The defined terms used in the events of default tests are
similar to those in the European Credit Facilities. As of
September 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, the amount
outstanding and fully-utilized under this program totaled
$331 million and $225 million, respectively. The
program did not qualify for sale accounting pursuant to the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and
accordingly, this amount is included in Long term debt and
capital leases.
In addition to the pan-European accounts receivable
securitization facility discussed above, SPT and other
subsidiaries in Australia have accounts receivable programs
totaling $58 million and $63 million at
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
respectively. These amounts are included in Notes payable.
The annual aggregate maturities of long term debt and capital
leases for the five years subsequent to September 30, 2005
are presented below. Maturities of debt credit agreements have
been reported on the basis that the commitments to lend under
these agreements will be terminated effective at the end of
their current terms.

We currently expect to contribute approximately
$490 million to our major funded domestic and international
pension plans in 2005. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, we contributed $176 million and
$272 million, respectively, to our domestic plans and $18
and $60 million, respectively, to our international plans.
Substantially all employees in the U.S. and employees of certain
international locations are eligible to participate in a savings
plan. Effective January 1, 2005, all newly-hired salaried
employees in the U.S. are eligible for a Company-funded
contribution into the Salaried Savings Plan, as they are not
eligible to participate in our defined benefit pension plan. The
expenses recognized for Company contributions for these savings
plans for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004 were $4 million and $5 million, respectively, and
$14 million and $13 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act (the Act) was
signed into law. The Act will provide plan sponsors a federal
subsidy for certain qualifying prescription drug benefits
covered under the sponsors postretirement health care
plans. On May 19, 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position
No. 106-2, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 (FSP 106-2), which requires
measures of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
and net periodic postretirement benefit cost to reflect the
effects of the Act in the first interim or annual period
beginning after June 15, 2004. On January 21, 2005
final regulations under the Act were issued. Based on the
clarifications provided in the final regulations, net periodic
postretirement cost is expected to be lower by approximately
$63 million in 2005, of which $17 million and
$46 million was recorded in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, respectively. The change is estimated
to increase pre-tax earnings by approximately $53 million
in 2005, of which $17 million and $35 million was
recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30,
2005, respectively. The difference between the effect on net
periodic postretirement costs and pre-tax earnings represents
the portion of net periodic postretirement cost that is carried
as inventory at the respective dates. The accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was reduced by
$529 million. The reduction is being amortized as a
reduction of expense over the average remaining service life of
active employees.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES |
At September 30, 2005, we had binding commitments for raw
materials and investments in land, buildings and equipment of
$1,160 million, and off-balance-sheet financial guarantees
written and other commitments totaling $9 million.
We have recorded liabilities totaling $42 million and
$40 million for anticipated costs related to various
environmental matters, primarily the remediation of numerous
waste disposal sites and certain properties sold by us, at
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
respectively. Of these amounts, $10 million and
$9 million was included in Other current liabilities at
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
respectively. The costs include legal and consulting fees, site
studies, the design and implementation of remediation plans,
post-remediation monitoring and related activities that 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. See Asbestos below for information
regarding insurance settlements completed during the second and
third quarters of 2005 related to both asbestos and
environmental matters.
We have recorded liabilities, on a discounted basis, totaling
$258 million and $231 million for anticipated costs
related to workers compensation at September 30, 2005
and December 31, 2004, respectively. Of these amounts,
$99 million was included in Current Liabilities as part of
Compensation and benefits at September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004. 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.

|
|
General and Product Liability and Other
Litigation |
We have recorded liabilities totaling $509 million and
$549 million for potential product liability and other tort
claims, including related legal fees expected to be incurred,
presently asserted against us at September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively. Of these amounts,
$253 million and $266 million were included in Other
current liabilities at September 30, 2005 and
December 31, 2004, respectively. The

amounts recorded were estimated on the basis of an assessment of
potential liability using an analysis of available information
with respect to pending claims, historical experience and, where
available, current trends. We have recorded insurance
receivables for potential product liability and other tort
claims of $60 million at September 30, 2005 and
$117 million at December 31, 2004. Of these amounts,
$10 million and $14 million was included in Current

Asbestos. We are a defendant in numerous lawsuits
alleging various asbestos-related personal injuries purported to
result from alleged exposure to asbestos in certain rubber
encapsulated products or aircraft braking systems manufactured
by us in the past, or to asbestos 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 33,300 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, totaled
approximately $233 million through September 30, 2005
and $226 million through December 31, 2004.
A summary of approximate asbestos claims activity in recent
years 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.

Represents amount spent by us and our insurers on asbestos
litigation defense and claim resolution. |
We engaged an independent asbestos valuation firm to review our
existing reserves for pending claims, provide a reasonable
estimate of the liability associated with unasserted asbestos
claims, and determine our receivables from probable insurance
recoveries.
We had recorded gross liabilities for both asserted and
unasserted claims, inclusive of defense costs, totaling
$109 million at September 30, 2005 and
$119 million at December 31, 2004. The recorded
liability represents our estimated liability over the next four
years, which represents the period over which the liability can
be reasonably estimated. Due to the difficulties in making these
estimates, analysis based on new data and/or a change in
circumstances arising in the future could result in an increase
in the recorded obligation in an amount that cannot be
reasonably estimated, and that increase could be significant.
The portion of the liability associated with unasserted asbestos
claims and related defense costs was $30 million at
September 30, 2005 and $38 million at
December 31, 2004. At September 30, 2005, our
liability with respect to asserted claims and related defense
costs was $79 million, compared to $81 million at
December 31, 2004.
We maintain primary insurance coverage under coverage-in-place
agreements, and also have excess liability insurance with
respect to asbestos liabilities. We have instituted coverage
actions against certain of these excess carriers. After
consultation with our outside legal counsel and giving
consideration to relevant factors including the ongoing legal
proceedings with certain of our excess coverage insurance
carriers, their financial viability, their legal obligations and
other pertinent facts, we determine an amount we expect is
F-179
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
probable of recovery from such carriers. We record a receivable
with respect to such policies when we determine that recovery is
probable and we can reasonably estimate the amount of a
particular recovery.
Based upon a model employed by the valuation firm, as of
September 30, 2005, (i) we had recorded a receivable
related to asbestos claims of $56 million, compared to
$108 million at December 31, 2004, and (ii) we
expect that approximately 50% of asbestos claim related losses
would be recoverable up to our accessible policy limits through
the period covered by the estimated liability. Of this amount,
$10 million and $9 million was included in Current
Assets as part of Accounts and notes receivable at
September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,
respectively. The receivable recorded 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. During the second quarter of 2005, as a
result of a recent court determination, we further refined our
method of allocating losses to excess coverage policies,
resulting in a reduction in available insurance coverage over
the period covered by the estimated liability. The recorded
receivable also declined during the second and third quarters
due to settlements with certain excess insurance carriers, as
discussed below.
We believe that, at September 30, 2005, we had at least
$176 million in aggregate limits of excess level policies
potentially applicable to indemnity payments for asbestos
products claims, in addition to limits of available primary
insurance policies. Some of these excess policies provide for
payment of defense costs in addition to indemnity limits. A
portion of the availability of the excess level policies is
included in the $56 million insurance receivable recorded
at September 30, 2005. We also had approximately
$21 million in aggregate limits for products claims, as
well as coverage for premise claims on a per occurrence basis
and defense costs, available with our primary insurance carriers
through coverage-in-place agreements at September 30, 2005.
We reached an agreement effective April 13, 2005, to settle
our claims for insurance coverage for asbestos and pollution
related liabilities with respect to pre-1993 insurance policies
issued by certain underwriters at Lloyds, London, and
reinsured by Equitas. The settlement agreement generally
provides for the payment of money to us in exchange for the
release by us of past, present and future claims under those
policies and the cancellation of those policies; agreement by us
to indemnify the underwriters from claims asserted under those
policies; and includes provisions addressing the impact on the
settlement should federal asbestos reform legislation be enacted
on or before January 3, 2007.
Under the agreement, Equitas paid $22 million to us and
placed $39 million into a trust. The trust funds may be
used to reimburse us for a portion of costs we incur in the
future to resolve certain asbestos claims. Our ability to use
any of the trust funds is subject to specified confidential
criteria, as well as limits on the amount that may be drawn from
the trust in any one month. If federal asbestos reform
legislation is enacted into law on or prior to January 3,
2007, then the trust would repay Equitas any amount it is
required to pay with respect to our asbestos liabilities as a
result of such legislation up to the amount remaining in the
trust at that time. If such legislation is not enacted by that
date, any funds remaining in the trust will be disbursed to us
to enable us to meet future asbestos-related liabilities or for
other purposes.
We also reached an agreement effective July 27, 2005, to
settle our claims for insurance coverage for asbestos and
pollution related liabilities with respect to insurance policies
issued by certain other non-Equitas excess insurance carriers
which participated in policies issued in the London Market. The
settlement agreement generally provides for the payment of
$25 million to us in exchange for the release by us of
past, present and future claims under those policies and the
cancellation of those policies; and agreement by us to indemnify
the underwriters from claims asserted under those policies. In
conjunction with the settlement we recorded a gain of
$14 million during the third quarter.
We believe that our reserve for asbestos claims, and the
receivable for recoveries from insurance carriers recorded in
respect of these claims, reflect reasonable and probable
estimates of these amounts, subject to the
F-180
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND
SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
exclusion of claims for which it is not feasible to make
reasonable estimates. The estimate of the assets and liabilities
related to pending and expected future asbestos claims and
insurance recoveries is subject to numerous uncertainties,
including, but not limited to, changes in:
|
|
|
|
|
|
the litigation environment, |
|
|
|
|
|
Federal and state law governing the compensation of asbestos
claimants, |
|
|
|
|
|
recoverability of receivables due to potential insolvency of
carriers, |
|
|
|
|
|
our approach to defending and resolving claims, and |
|
|
|
|
|
the level of payments made to claimants from other sources,
including other defendants. |
|
As a result, 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
amount 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.
Heatway (Entran II). On June 4, 2004, we
entered into an amended settlement agreement that was intended
to address the claims arising out of a number of Federal, state
and Canadian actions filed against us involving a rubber hose
product, Entran II. We supplied Entran II from 1989 to
1993 to Chiles Power Supply, Inc. (d/b/a Heatway Systems), a
designer and seller of hydronic radiant heating systems in the
United States. Heating systems using Entran II are
typically attached or embedded in either indoor flooring or
outdoor pavement, and use Entran II hose as a conduit to
circulate warm fluid as a source of heat. We had recorded
liabilities related to Entran II claims totaling
$267 million at September 30, 2005 and
$307 million at December 31, 2004.
On October 19, 2004, the amended settlement received court
approval. As a result, we have made, or will make annual cash
contributions to a settlement fund of $60 million,
$40 million, $15 million, $15 million and
$20 million in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008,
respectively. In addition to these annual payments, we
contributed approximately $170 million received from
insurance contributions to the settlement fund pursuant to the
terms of the settlement agreement. We do not expect to receive
any additional insurance reimbursements for Entran II
related matters.
Forty-one sites remain opted-out of the amended settlement. Two
actions involving approximately 10 of these sites are currently
pending against us, and additional actions may be filed against
us in the future. Although any liability resulting from the
opt-outs will not be covered by the amended settlement, we will
be entitled to assert a proxy claim against the settlement fund
for the payment such claimant would have been entitled to under
the amended settlement.
In addition to the sites that have been opted-out of the amended
settlement, any liability related to five actions in which we
have received adverse judgments also will not be covered by the
amended settlement. With respect to two of these matters,
however, we will be entitled to assert a proxy claim against the
settlement fund for amounts (if any) paid to plaintiffs in these
actions.
The ultimate cost of disposing of Entran II claims is
dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to
resolve claims not subject to the amended settlement (including
the cases in which we have received adverse judgments), the
extent to which the liability, if any, associated with such a
claim may be offset by our ability to assert a proxy claim
against the settlement fund and whether or not claimants
opting-out of the amendment settlement pursue claims against us
in the future.

THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

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 future periods.
We are a party to various agreements under which we have
undertaken obligations resulting from the issuance of certain
guarantees. Guarantees have been issued on behalf of certain of
our affiliates and customers. Normally there is no separate
premium received by us as consideration for the issuance of
guarantees. Our performance under these guarantees would
normally be triggered by the occurrence of one or more events as
provided in the specific agreements. Collateral and recourse
provisions available to us under these agreements were not
significant.
Certain of our subsidiaries guarantee certain debt obligations
of SPT and T&WA. Goodyear, Goodyear Australia Limited, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Goodyear, and certain subsidiaries of
Goodyear Australia Limited guarantee SPTs obligations
under credit facilities in the amount of $74 million, which
expire at various times through 2009. The maximum potential
amount of payments totaled $74 million. The guarantees are
unsecured. The SPT credit facilities are secured by certain
subsidiaries of SPT. As of September 30, 2005, the carrying
amount of the secured assets of these certain subsidiaries was
$208 million, consisting primarily of accounts receivable,
inventory and fixed assets. We guarantee an industrial revenue
bond obligation of T&WA in the amount of $5 million.
The guarantee is unsecured.
We will from time to time issue guarantees to financial
institutions on behalf of certain of our unconsolidated
affiliates or our customers. We generally do not require
collateral in connection with the issuance of these guarantees.
In the event of non-payment by an affiliate, we are obligated to
make payment to the financial institution, and will typically
have recourse to the assets of that affiliate or customer. At
September 30, 2005, we had affiliate and customer
guarantees outstanding under which the maximum potential amount
of payments totaled $2 million and $6 million,
respectively. The affiliate and customer guarantees expire at
various times through 2005 and 2019, respectively. We are unable
to estimate the extent to which our affiliates or
customers assets, in the aggregate, would be adequate to
recover the maximum amount of potential payments with that
affiliate or customer.
At September 30, 2005, we were a party to various
agreements under which we had assumed obligations to indemnify
the counterparties from certain potential claims and losses.
These agreements typically involve standard commercial
activities undertaken by us in the normal course of business;
the sale of assets by us; the formation of joint venture
businesses to which we had contributed assets in exchange for
ownership interests;
F-182
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND

STATEMENTS (Continued)
and other financial transactions. Indemnifications provided by
us pursuant to these agreements relate to various matters
including, among other things, environmental, tax and
shareholder matters; intellectual property rights; government
regulations and employment-related matters; and dealer, supplier
and other commercial matters.
Certain indemnifications expire from time to time, and certain
other indemnifications are not subject to an expiration date. In
addition, our potential liability under certain indemnifications
is subject to maximum caps, while other indemnifications are not
subject to caps. Although we have been subject to
indemnification claims in the past, we cannot reasonably
estimate the number, type and size of indemnification claims
that may arise in the future. Due to these and other
uncertainties associated with the indemnifications, our maximum
exposure to loss under these agreements cannot be estimated.
We have determined that there are no guarantees other than
liabilities for which amounts are already recorded or reserved
in our consolidated financial statements under which it is
probable that we have incurred a liability.
NOTE 8. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Excludes equity in (earnings) losses of affiliates and
foreign currency exchange. |
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded
approximately $8 million in net after-tax expense relating
to prior periods. These out-of-period adjustments increased Net
sales by $9 million, Cost of goods sold by
$15 million, Other income by $2 million, Selling,
administrative and general expenses and Minority interest, each
by $1 million, and taxes by approximately $2 million.
The out-of-period adjustments identified in 2005 include net
after tax charges of $6 million to write-off negative
equity of a minority partners interest in a consolidated
affiliate, recognized in North American Tire, $6 million to
write-down the carrying value of certain fixed assets in the
Latin American Tire Segment, $3 million related to the
elimination of intercompany profit in inventory, primarily in
the European Union Tire Segment and Corporate, and
$2 million related to the application of a tax law change
in the European Union Tire Segment. These charges were partially
offset by after-tax, out-of-period income of $6 million
primarily due to the overaccrual of dealer incentives and
$2 million related to the accounting for the minority
interest portion of losses incurred under an indemnification
agreement with our minority partner in the GDTE subsidiary of
our European Union Tire Segment, and $1 million of net
other, insignificant out-of-period items.

(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. Each entity in the consolidating
financial information follows the same accounting policies as
described in the consolidated financial statements, except for
using the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership
interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon
consolidation.
Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company are
restricted from remitting funds to it by means of dividends,
advances or loans, primarily due to restrictions in credit
facility agreements entered into by those subsidiaries.

NOTE 10. INCOME
TAXES
For the first nine months of 2005, we recorded tax expense of
$223 million on income before income taxes and minority
interest in net income of subsidiaries of $581 million.
Included in this amount was a net tax charge of $2 million,
which is primarily related to the settlement of prior
years tax liabilities. For the first nine months of 2004,
we recorded tax expense of $145 million on income before
income taxes and minority interest in net income of subsidiaries
of $178 million. Included in this amount was a net tax
benefit of $50 million, which is primarily related to the
settlement of prior years tax liabilities. 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 Federal and state deferred
tax assets. As a result of the valuation allowance, deferred tax
expense was not recorded on a significant portion of the results
of our North American Tire Segment. Improvement in these results
significantly contributed to the lower effective tax rate from
2004 to 2005.

NOTE 11. ASSET
DISPOSITIONS
On August 9, 2005, we announced the completion of the sale
of our natural rubber plantations in Indonesia at a purchase
price of approximately $62 million, subject to post-closing
adjustments. On September 1, 2005, we announced that we had
completed the sale of our Wingtack adhesive resins business to
Sartomer Company, Inc. We received approximately
$55 million in cash proceeds and retained approximately
$10 million in working capital in connection with the
Wingtack sale. In addition, the sales agreement provides for a
three-year earnout whereby we may receive additional
consideration ($5 million per year, $15 million
aggregate) for the sale based on future operating performance of
the business. We are also awaiting the necessary approvals to
complete the sale of assets of our North American farm tire
business to Titan International for approximately
$100 million. In connection with the transaction, we expect
to record a loss of approximately $70 million on the sale,
primarily related to pension and retiree medical costs. Also, on
September 20, 2005, we announced that we are exploring the
possible sale of our Engineered Products business. Engineered
Products manufactures and markets engineered rubber products for
industrial, military, consumer and transportation original
equipment end-users.

Item 14. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is an Ohio corporation.
Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio Revised Code gives a
corporation incorporated under the laws of Ohio authority to
indemnify or agree to indemnify its directors and officers,
against certain liabilities they may incur in such capacities in
connection with criminal or civil suits or proceedings, other
than an action brought by or in the right of the corporation,
provided that the director or officer acted in good faith and in
a manner that the person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the person had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In
the case of an action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation, the corporation may indemnify or agree to indemnify
its directors and officers against certain liabilities they may
incur in such capacities, provided that the director or officer
acted in good faith and in a manner that the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, except that an indemnification shall not be made in
respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which (a) the
person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in
the performance of their duty to the company unless and only to
the extent that the court of common pleas or the court in which
the action or suit was brought determines, upon application,
that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnification for expenses that the
court considers proper or (b) any action or suit in which
the only liability asserted against a director is pursuant to
section 1701.95 of the Ohio Revised Code.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has adopted provisions in
its Code of Regulations that provide that it shall indemnify its
directors and officers against any and all liability and
reasonable expense that may be incurred by a director or officer
in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or
proceeding in which the person may become involved by reason of
his or her being or having been a director or officer of the
company, or by reason of any past or future action taken or not
taken in his or her capacity as such director or officer,
provided such person acted in good faith, in what he reasonably
believed to be the best interests of the company, and, in
addition, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company maintains and pays the
premiums on contracts insuring the company (with certain
exclusions) against any liability to directors and officers they
may incur under the above provisions for indemnification and
insuring each director and officer of the company and (with
certain exclusions) against liability and expense, including
legal fees, which he or she may incur by reason of his or her
relationship to the company even if the company does not have
the obligation or right to indemnify such director or officer
against such liability or expense.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
|
|
|
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement: |
|
|
|
(i) to include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
|
|
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the
volume of the securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table in the
effective registration statement; and |
|
|
|
(iii) to include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement; provided, however,
that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to
the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement;
provided further, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and
(1)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on
Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission
by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is
contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement. |
|
|
|
|
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
|
|
|
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under
the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
|
|
|
|
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B: |
|
|
|
|
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the
registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was
deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
|
|
|
|
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration
statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering
made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for
the purpose of providing the information required by section
10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part
of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier
of the date such form of prospectus is first used after
effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of
securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As
provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer
and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date
shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration
statement relating to the securities in the registration |
|
II-9
|
|
|
statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement
made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of
the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement
or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will,
as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made
in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the
registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such effective date; or |
|
|
|
(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a
registration statement relating to an offering, other than
registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than
prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be
deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement
as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided,
however, that no statement made in a registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in
a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into
the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of
contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify
any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made
in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
|
|
|
|
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the
registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in
the initial distribution of the securities: |
|
|
|
|
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering
of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method
used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities
are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell
such securities to such purchaser: |
|
|
|
|
|
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
|
|
|
|
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used
or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
|
|
|
|
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about
the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
|
|
|
|
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the
offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
