Mastercard Foundation Asset Management Corp Reduces Stake in Mastercard Inc

Goodyear reported Q2 2025 net sales of $4.5 billion and a net income of $254 million due to asset sales. However, the adjusted net loss was $48 million, down from a $48 million profit in Q2 2024. Asset sales generated $1.64 billion in proceeds, with proceeds from the pending sale of the Chemical business planned for debt reduction. Segment operating income fell to $159 million, down from $334 million a year ago, driven by higher costs and reduced tire volumes.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ:GT) reported mixed financial results for the second quarter of 2025, with net sales of $4.5 billion and a net income of $254 million. The company attributed these figures to significant asset sales, which generated $1.64 billion in proceeds. However, the adjusted net loss for the quarter was $48 million, down from a $48 million profit in Q2 2024. This discrepancy can be attributed to higher costs and reduced tire volumes, which collectively led to a decline in segment operating income to $159 million, down from $334 million a year ago [1].

The quarter was marked by several key transactions. The sale of the Dunlop brand to Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd., and the divestiture of the Off-the-Road (OTR) tire business to The Yokohama Rubber Company, Limited, contributed to the proceeds. Additionally, a definitive agreement was reached to sell the majority of the Goodyear Chemical business to an affiliate of Gemspring Capital Management, LLC, with the expectation to close in late 2025. The company intends to use these proceeds to further reduce leverage.

Despite these asset sales, Goodyear faced challenges in its operations. The company reported that the second quarter was challenging for both consumer and commercial businesses, driven by industry disruption stemming from shifts in global trade and a surge in low-cost imports across key markets. These factors led to a decline in tire unit volumes and higher raw material costs, which negatively impacted segment operating income.

Looking ahead, Goodyear expects conditions to stabilize in the coming quarters and sees clear opportunities as it capitalizes on its strong U.S. manufacturing footprint. The company continues to expect to exceed the original goals for Goodyear Forward both in terms of cost savings and proceeds from asset sales.

The company will host an investor call on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, to discuss these results and provide further insights into the Goodyear Forward transformation plan [1].
