The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has reported sales of $3.9 billion in the third quarter of 2017. This figure is up from $3.8 billion year-on-year, largely attributable to improved price/mix, which saw revenue per tyre rise five per cent over the 2016 quarter, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. Tyre unit sales were down five per cent in total, with original equipment down nine per cent and replacement down four per cent. Net income in the quarter was $129 million (50 cents per share), down from $317 million ($1.19 per share) in Q3 2016. Its segment operating income was $357 million, down from $556 million a year ago, which the manufacturer attributed to higher raw material costs in addition to lower volume. Goodyear now expects its full-year 2017 segment operating income to be approximately $1.5 billion.
