5月7日消息，固特异轮胎橡胶公司近日公布了其第一季度财务报告，显示公司在该期间净亏损5700万美元，相较于去年同期1.01亿美元的亏损额，表现有所改善。这一成绩被公司高层称为“今年的强势开局”。
The report details the company's operations in the first quarter. Goodyear sold a total of 40.4 million tires during the quarter, down 3.3% from the same period last year. At the same time, total sales also showed a decline of 8.2%, from US$4.941 billion in the same period last year to US$4.537 billion in the quarter. Despite this, the company's segment operating income has achieved significant growth, nearly doubling from US$125 million in 2023 to US$247 million this quarter.
据炭黑产业网了解，固特异在全球不同地区的业绩表现各有差异。在美洲地区，轮胎销量及销售额均有所下滑，其中销量从2023年第一季度的2050万条减少至1900万条，销售额也从28.67亿美元降至25.88亿美元。尽管如此，美洲地区的分部营业收入却由于运输成本的降低、公司推进的“固特异前进计划”带来的收益，以及与原材料成本相比有利的价格组合等因素的推动而实现了增长。
In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, sales and price combinations of replacement tires performed poorly due to weakness in the commercial truck industry and contract price adjustments, resulting in a 9.7% year-on-year decline in sales in the region. However, sales of original equipment tires in the region remained stable, and segment operating income was also unchanged from the same period last year.
亚太地区则成为固特异的一个亮点。2024年第一季度，该地区的轮胎销量同比增长了10%，达到890万条，这主要得益于中国电动车市场的蓬勃发展，推动了原始设备销量的显著增长。
Looking ahead, Goodyear predicts that global tire sales will remain stable in the second quarter of 2024, but considering the restorative growth of its Tupelo, Mississippi plant, the company expects to achieve net gains of $35 million. At the same time, the company also predicts quarterly earnings of US$160 million in raw materials and full-year earnings of US$325 to US$350 million. In the global market, Goodyear expects its consumer replacement tire sales to be slightly lower than the industry as a whole, while original equipment sales are expected to grow faster than the industry.
