THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the “Company,” “Goodyear,” “we,” “us” or “our”) in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”).
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2016.
Effective January 1, 2016, we combined our North America and Latin America strategic business units ("SBUs") into one Americas SBU. We have combined the North America and Latin America reportable segments effective on this date to align with the new organizational structure and the basis used for reporting to our Chief Executive Officer. Prior periods have been restated to reflect this change.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted an accounting standards update providing new guidance that eliminates the requirement in a business combination to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. Instead, measurement period adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The adoption of this standards update did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted an accounting standards update providing new guidance on whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license and the accounting for such an arrangement. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the software license element of the arrangement is accounted for consistently with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the agreement is accounted for as a service contract. The adoption of this standards update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted an accounting standards update providing new guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs that requires costs incurred to issue debt to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with line-of-credit arrangements will be presented as an asset. The new guidance also requires the amortization of such costs be reported in Interest Expense in the Statement of Operations. The adoption of this standards update resulted in reclassifications of $15 million from Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and $33 million from Other Assets which decreased Long Term Debt and Capital Leases Due Within One Year by $2 million and Long Term Debt and Capital Leases by $46 million at December 31, 2015.  The adoption of this standards update also resulted in a reclassification of $4 million of expense from Other (Income) Expense to Interest Expense in the Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on employee share-based payment accounting. This update involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax effects, forfeitures and classifications on the statement of cash flows. The standards update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual period; however, all amendments must be adopted at the same time. We are currently assessing the impact of this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on the transition to the equity method of accounting. This update eliminates the requirement that an investor retrospectively apply equity method accounting when an investment that it had accounted for by another method initially qualifies for the equity method. Instead, the investor is required to apply the equity method prospectively from the date the investment qualifies for the equity method. In addition, an entity that has an available-for-sale equity security that becomes qualified for the equity method must recognize through earnings the unrealized holding gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date the investment qualifies for the equity method. The

- 5-


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

standards update is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to impact our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations relating to leases.  Lessees will be required to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.  The FASB retained a dual model for lease classification, requiring leases to be classified as finance or operating leases to determine recognition in the statements of operations and cash flows; however, almost all leases will be required to be recognized on the balance sheet.  Lessor accounting is largely unchanged from the current accounting model.  The standards update will also require quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements. The standards update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. It must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, and provides for certain practical expedients. The transition will require application at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented at the time of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on the measurement of inventory. Inventory within the scope of this update is required to be measured at the lower of its cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value being the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The standards update is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of adopting this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Management must evaluate whether it is probable that known conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, would raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. If such conditions or events are identified, the standard requires management's mitigation plans to alleviate the doubt or a statement of the substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern to be disclosed in the financial statements. The standards update is effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to impact our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on recognizing revenue from contracts with customers.  The standards update outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to utilize to recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that will be received in exchange for the goods and services.  Additional disclosures will also be required to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In 2016, the FASB issued accounting standards updates with amendments to clarify the guidance for identifying performance obligations, licenses and determining if a company is the principal or agent in a revenue arrangement. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this standards update to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted on the original effective date of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating our significant contracts and assessing any impact of adopting this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all legal entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest generally arises from our ownership of a majority of the voting shares of our subsidiaries. We would also hold a controlling financial interest in variable interest entities if we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which we do not own a majority interest and we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are carried at cost. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Effective December 31, 2015, we concluded that we did not meet the accounting criteria for control over our Venezuelan subsidiary and began reporting the results of our Venezuelan subsidiary using the cost method of accounting. We have determined the fair value of our investment in, and receivables from, our Venezuelan subsidiary to be insignificant based on our expectations of dividend payments and settlements of such receivables in future periods. Beginning January 1, 2016, our financial results do not include the operating results of our Venezuelan subsidiary although that subsidiary has continued operations. We will record income from sales of inventory and raw materials or from dividends or royalties to the extent cash is received from our Venezuelan subsidiary. Our exposure to future losses resulting from our Venezuelan subsidiary is limited to the extent that we decide to provide raw materials or finished goods to, or make future investments in, our Venezuelan subsidiary.

(Unaudited)

Dissolution of Global Alliance with Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. ("SRI")
On October 1, 2015, the Company completed the previously announced dissolution of its global alliance with SRI in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Framework Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2015, by and between the Company and SRI.
Prior to the dissolution, the Company owned 75% and SRI owned 25% of two companies, Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. (“GDTE”) and Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd. (“GDTNA”). GDTE owns and operates substantially all of the Company’s tire businesses in Western Europe. GDTNA had rights to the Dunlop brand and operated certain related businesses in North America. In Japan, the Company owned 25%, and SRI owned 75%, of two companies, one, Nippon Goodyear Ltd. (“NGY”), for the sale of Goodyear-brand passenger and truck tires for replacement in Japan and the other, Dunlop Goodyear Tires Ltd. (“DGT”), for the sale of Goodyear-brand and Dunlop-brand tires to vehicle manufacturers in Japan.
Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Company has sold to SRI its 75% interest in GDTNA, 25% interest in DGT and Huntsville, Alabama test track used by GDTNA. Accordingly, the Company no longer has any remaining ownership interests in GDTNA, DGT or the Huntsville, Alabama test track. With the sale of GDTNA, SRI obtained full ownership of the Dunlop motorcycle tire business in North America and the rights to sell Dunlop-brand tires to Japanese vehicle manufacturers in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Company retained exclusive rights to sell Dunlop-brand tires in both the consumer and commercial replacement markets of the United States, Canada and Mexico as well as to non-Japanese vehicle manufacturers in those countries.
The Company also has acquired from SRI its 75% interest in NGY and 25% interest in GDTE. Accordingly, the Company now has full ownership interests in NGY and GDTE. In addition, SRI obtained exclusive rights to sell Dunlop-brand tires in those countries that were previously non-exclusive under the global alliance, including Russia, Turkey and certain countries in Africa.
Prior to October 1, 2015, GDTE’s assets and liabilities were included in our consolidated balance sheets and GDTE’s results of operations were included in our consolidated statements of operations, which also reflected SRI’s minority interest in GDTE. Subsequent to October 1, 2015, we continue to include GDTE in our consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations; however, there is no minority interest impact to our results of operations related to GDTE. Additionally, prior to October 1, 2015, we accounted for NGY under the equity method as we did not have a controlling financial interest in NGY. Subsequent to October 1, 2015, we have a controlling interest in NGY and, accordingly, NGY’s assets and liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets and NGY’s results of operations are included in our consolidated statements of operations.
Reclassifications and Adjustments
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
In order to maintain our global competitiveness, we have implemented rationalization actions over the past several years to reduce high-cost manufacturing capacity and associate headcount.

There were no new rationalization actions initiated during the first quarter of 2016 and 2015. Substantially all of the new charges for prior year plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 related to future cash outflows. Net prior year plan charges for the first quarter of 2016 include charges of $6 million for associate severance and idle plant costs related to the closure of one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France. In addition, net prior year plan charges for the first quarter of 2015 include charges of $12 million for associate severance and idle plant costs related to the closure of one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France and our exit from the farm tire business in EMEA. Rationalization charges in 2016 of $11 million relate to previously announced rationalization plans that had approximately $365 million in charges incurred prior to 2016 and for which approximately $30 million is expected to be incurred in future periods.
In the first quarter of 2016, approximately 200 associates were released under plans initiated in prior years. In total, approximately 500 associates remain to be released under rationalization plans. At March 31, 2016, approximately 800 former associates of the closed Amiens, France manufacturing facility have asserted wrongful termination or other claims against us. Refer to Note 11.
Accelerated depreciation charges for the three months ended March 31, 2016 primarily related to the plan to close our Wolverhampton, U.K. mixing and retreading facility. Accelerated depreciation charges for the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to property and equipment in one of our manufacturing facilities in Amiens, France. Accelerated depreciation charges for all periods were recorded in cost of goods sold (“CGS”).

Royalty income in the first quarter of 2016 was $4 million, compared to $165 million in the first quarter of 2015. Royalty income is derived primarily from licensing arrangements related to divested businesses. Royalty income in 2015 included a one-time pre-tax gain of $155 million on the recognition of deferred income resulting from the termination of a licensing agreement associated with the sale of our former Engineered Products business ("Veyance"). The licensing agreement was terminated following the acquisition of Veyance by Continental AG in January 2015.

Net foreign currency exchange gains in the first quarter of 2016 were $2 million compared to losses of $16 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Also included in Other (Income) Expense are financing fees and financial instruments expense consisting of commitment fees and charges incurred in connection with financing transactions; interest income consisting primarily of amounts earned on cash deposits; general and product liability expense (income) — discontinued products which includes charges for claims against us related primarily to asbestos personal injury claims, net of probable insurance recoveries; and net gains and losses on asset sales. During the first quarter of 2016 general and product liability — discontinued products included a $3 million benefit for an insurance recovery related to past costs.
NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
In the first quarter of 2016, we recorded tax expense of $78 million on income before income taxes of $267 million. For the first quarter of 2015, we recorded tax expense of $123 million on income before income taxes of $359 million. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was favorably impacted by $12 million, primarily related to a $7 million tax benefit resulting from the release of a valuation allowance in our Americas operations and $5 million of tax benefits related to other discrete tax adjustments, including the resolution of an audit in our Americas operations. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was unfavorably impacted by $4 million of discrete tax adjustments, primarily related to prior tax years, resulting from an audit in EMEA.
Our losses in various foreign taxing jurisdictions in recent periods represented sufficient negative evidence to require us to maintain a full valuation allowance against certain of our net foreign deferred tax assets. However, it is reasonably possible that sufficient positive evidence required to release all, or a portion, of certain valuation allowances will exist during 2016. This may result in a reduction of the valuation allowance by up to $275 million.
At January 1, 2016, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $54 million that if recognized, would have a favorable impact on our tax expense of $40 million. We had accrued interest of $5 million as of January 1, 2016. If not favorably settled, $9 million of the unrecognized tax benefits and all of the accrued interest would require the use of our cash. We do not expect any changes to our unrecognized tax benefits to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Generally, years from 2010 onward are still open to examination by foreign taxing authorities. We are open to examination in Germany from 2011 onward and in the United States for 2015.
NOTE 5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are calculated to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts were exercised or converted into common stock.

NOTE 6. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Effective January 1, 2016, we combined our North America and Latin America SBUs into one Americas SBU. We have combined the North America and Latin America reportable segments effective on this date to align with the new organizational structure and the basis used for reporting to our Chief Executive Officer. As a result, we now operate our business through three operating segments: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Asia Pacific.
The prior year Americas operating income has been adjusted to reflect the elimination of intercompany profit between the former North America and Latin America SBUs, whereas the elimination had previously been reflected in Corporate CGS. In addition, certain start-up costs related to the construction of our new manufacturing facility in San Luis Potosi, Mexico were reclassified from Corporate Other (Income) Expense to Americas segment operating income to align with the new organizational structure beginning in 2016.

CREDIT FACILITIES
$2.0 billion Amended and Restated First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2017
Our amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility is available in the form of loans or letters of credit, with letter of credit availability limited to $800 million. Subject to the consent of the lenders whose commitments are to be increased, we may request that the facility be increased by up to $250 million. Our obligations under the facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Our obligations under the facility and our subsidiaries' obligations under the related guarantees are secured by first priority security interests in a variety of collateral. Amounts drawn under this facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points.
Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base, which was based primarily on eligible accounts receivable and inventory of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. To the extent that our eligible accounts receivable and inventory and other components of the borrowing base decline in value, our borrowing base will decrease and the availability under the facility may decrease below $2.0 billion. As of March 31, 2016, our borrowing base, and therefore our availability, under this facility was $618 million below the facility's stated amount of $2.0 billion.
The facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing. The facility also has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.
At March 31, 2016, we had $270 million of borrowings and $284 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2015, we had no borrowings and $315 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.
On April 7, 2016, we amended and restated the first lien revolving credit facility. Changes to the facility include extending the maturity to 2021 and reducing the interest rate for loans under the facility by 25 basis points to LIBOR plus 125 basis points, based on our current liquidity. In addition, the borrowing base will be increased to include (i) the value of our principal trademarks and (ii) certain cash in an amount not to exceed $200 million.
Amended and Restated Second Lien Term Loan Facility due 2019
Our obligations under our second lien term loan facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by second priority security interests in the same collateral securing the $2.0 billion first lien revolving credit facility. This facility may be increased by up to $300 million at our request, subject to the consent of the lenders making such additional term loans. The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points, subject to a minimum LIBOR rate of 75 basis points.
After June 16, 2015 and prior to June 16, 2016, (i) loans under the facility may not be prepaid or repaid with the proceeds of term loan indebtedness, or converted into or replaced by new term loans, bearing interest at an effective interest rate that is less than the effective interest rate then applicable to such loans and (ii) no amendment of the facility may be made that, directly or indirectly, reduces the effective interest rate applicable to the loans under the facility, in each case unless we pay a fee equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the loans so affected.
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amounts outstanding under this facility were $598 million.
€550 million Amended and Restated Senior Secured European Revolving Credit Facility due 2020
Our amended and restated €550 million European revolving credit facility consists of (i) a €125 million German tranche that is available only to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH (“GDTG”) and (ii) a €425 million all-borrower tranche that is available to GDTE, GDTG and Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations S.A. Up to €150 million of swingline loans and €50 million in letters of credit are available for issuance under the all-borrower tranche. Amounts drawn under this facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points for loans denominated in U.S. dollars or pounds sterling and EURIBOR plus 175 basis points for loans denominated in euros.
GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France and Germany provide guarantees to support the facility. The German guarantors secure the German tranche on a first-lien basis and the all-borrower tranche on a second-lien basis. GDTE and its other subsidiaries that provide guarantees secure the all-borrower tranche on a first-lien basis and generally do not provide collateral support for the German tranche. The Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and primary Canadian subsidiary that guarantee our U.S. senior secured credit facilities described above also provide unsecured guarantees in support of the facility.
The facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material

adverse change in our business or financial condition since December 31, 2014. The facility also has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.
At March 31, 2016, the amounts outstanding under the German and all-borrower tranche were $142 million (€125 million) and $126 million (€110 million), respectively. At December 31, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding under the European revolving credit facility. There were no letters of credit issued at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities (On-Balance Sheet)
GDTE and certain other of our European subsidiaries are parties to a pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility that expires in 2019. The terms of the facility provide the flexibility to designate annually the maximum amount of funding available under the facility in an amount of not less than €45 million and not more than €450 million. For the period beginning October 16, 2015 to October 15, 2016, the designated maximum amount of the facility is €340 million.
The facility involves an ongoing daily 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 retain servicing responsibilities. Utilization under this facility is based on eligible receivable balances.
The funding commitments under the facility will expire upon the earliest to occur of: (a) September 25, 2019, (b) the non-renewal and expiration (without substitution) of all of the back-up liquidity commitments, (c) the early termination of the facility according to its terms (generally upon an Early Amortisation Event (as defined in the facility), which includes, among other things, events similar to the events of default under our senior secured credit facilities; certain tax law changes; or certain changes to law, regulation or accounting standards), or (d) our request for early termination of the facility. The facility’s current back-up liquidity commitments will expire on October 15, 2016.
At March 31, 2016, the amounts available and utilized under this program totaled $247 million (€217 million). At December 31, 2015, the amounts available and utilized under this program totaled $276 million (€254 million) and $125 million (€115 million), respectively. The program does not qualify for sale accounting, and accordingly, these amounts are included in Long Term Debt and Capital Leases.
In addition to the pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility discussed above, subsidiaries in Australia have an accounts receivable securitization program that provides up to $65 million (85 million Australian dollars) of funding. The terms of the facility provide flexibility to designate semi-annually the maximum amount of funding available under the facility in an amount of not less than 60 million Australian dollars and not more than 85 million Australian dollars. At March 31, 2016, the amounts available and utilized under this program were $36 million and $21 million, respectively. At December 31, 2015, the amounts available and utilized under this program were $34 million and $19 million, respectively. The receivables sold under this program also serve as collateral for the related facility. We retain the risk of loss related to these receivables in the event of non-payment. These amounts are included in Long Term Debt and Capital Leases.
For a description of the collateral securing the credit facilities described above as well as the covenants applicable to them, refer to the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 15, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in our 2015 Form 10-K.
Accounts Receivable Factoring Facilities (Off-Balance Sheet)
Various subsidiaries sold certain of their trade receivables under off-balance sheet programs. For these programs, we have concluded that there is generally no risk of loss to us from non-payment of the sold receivables. At March 31, 2016, the gross amount of receivables sold was $249 million, compared to $299 million at December 31, 2015.
Other Foreign Credit Facilities
A Chinese subsidiary has several financing arrangements in China. At March 31, 2016, these non-revolving credit facilities had total unused availability of $67 million and can only be used to finance the expansion of our manufacturing facility in China. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the amounts outstanding under these facilities were $433 million and $465 million, respectively. The facilities ultimately mature in 2023 and principal amortization began in 2015. The facilities contain covenants relating to the Chinese subsidiary and have customary representations and warranties and defaults relating to the Chinese subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under the facilities. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, restricted cash related to funds obtained under these credit facilities was $3 million and $11 million, respectively.

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. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Contracts
We enter into foreign currency contracts in order to manage the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows. These contracts may be used to reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted transactions resulting primarily from trade purchases and sales, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans and royalty agreements. Contracts hedging short term trade receivables and payables normally have no hedging designation.

and other indicators of counterparty credit risk such as credit default swap spreads, and by monitoring the financial strength of these counterparties on a regular basis. We also enter into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible. By controlling and monitoring exposure to counterparties in this manner, we believe that we effectively manage the risk of loss due to nonperformance by a counterparty. However, the inability of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations in the period in which it occurs.

Effective January 1, 2016, we changed the method of estimating the service and interest components of net periodic cost for pension and other postretirement benefits for plans that utilize a yield curve approach. We elected to utilize a full yield curve approach in the measurement of these components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. We believe this approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by aligning the timing of projected benefit cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. This change is expected to reduce our 2016 annual net periodic pension cost by approximately $50 million to $75 million compared to the previous method and does not affect the measurement of our plan benefit obligations. We have accounted for this change as a change in accounting estimate.
We expect to contribute approximately $50 million to $75 million to our funded non-U.S. pension plans in 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we contributed $17 million to our non-U.S. plans.
The expense recognized for our contributions to defined contribution savings plans for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $34 million and $33 million, respectively.
We also provide certain U.S. employees and employees at certain non-U.S. subsidiaries with health care benefits or life insurance benefits upon retirement. Other postretirement benefits credit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $6 million and $4 million, respectively.

NOTE 10. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Our Board of Directors granted 0.7 million stock options, 0.2 million restricted stock units and 0.2 million performance share units during the three months ended March 31, 2016 under our stock compensation plans. The weighted average exercise price per share and weighted average fair value per share of the stock option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $29.90 and $11.92, respectively. We estimated the fair value of the stock options using the following assumptions in our Black-Scholes model:

Expected term: 7.2 years
Interest rate: 1.45%
Volatility: 40.78%
Dividend yield: 0.94%
We measure the fair value of grants of restricted stock units and performance share units based primarily on the closing market price of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant, modified as appropriate to take into account the features of such grants. The weighted average fair value per share was $29.90 for restricted stock units and $30.95 for performance share units granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $7 million and $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016, unearned compensation cost related to the unvested portion of all stock-based awards was approximately $48 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the respective grants, through March 2021.
NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Environmental Matters
We have recorded liabilities totaling $52 million and $50 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, 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, $12 million was included in Other Current Liabilities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The costs include legal and consulting fees, site studies, the design and implementation of remediation plans, post-remediation monitoring and related activities, and 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. We have limited potential insurance coverage for future environmental claims.
Since many of the remediation activities related to environmental matters vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site and the associated costs for each vary depending on the mix of unique site characteristics, in some cases we cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible losses. Although it is not possible to estimate with certainty the outcome of all of our environmental matters, management believes that potential losses in excess of current reserves for environmental matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
Workers’ Compensation
We have recorded liabilities, on a discounted basis, totaling $264 million for anticipated costs related to workers’ compensation at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Of these amounts, $55 million and $54 million was included in Current Liabilities as part of Compensation and Benefits at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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, and at least annually, update our loss development factors based on actuarial analyses. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the liability was discounted using a risk-free rate of return. At March 31, 2016, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that the liability could exceed our recorded amounts by approximately $31 million.
General and Product Liability and Other Litigation
We have recorded liabilities totaling $307 million and $315 million, including related legal fees expected to be incurred, for potential product liability and other tort claims, including asbestos claims, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Of these amounts, $46 million and $45 million was included in Other Current Liabilities at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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. Based upon that assessment, at March 31, 2016, we do not believe that estimated reasonably possible losses associated with general and product

- 18-


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

liability claims in excess of the amounts recorded will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, the amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may differ from these estimates.
We have recorded an indemnification asset within Accounts Receivable of $6 million and within Other Assets of $27 million for SRI's obligation to indemnify us for certain product liability claims related to products manufactured by GDTNA during the existence of the global alliance with SRI, subject to certain caps.
Asbestos. We are a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging various asbestos-related personal injuries purported to result from alleged exposure to asbestos in certain products manufactured by us or present 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 120,000 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, by us and our insurers totaled approximately $502 million through March 31, 2016 and $497 million through December 31, 2015.
A summary of recent approximate asbestos claims activity 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 cash payments made during the period by us and our insurers on asbestos litigation defense and claim resolution.
We periodically, and at least annually, review our existing reserves for pending claims, including a reasonable estimate of the liability associated with unasserted asbestos claims, and estimate our receivables from probable insurance recoveries. We recorded gross liabilities for both asserted and unasserted claims, inclusive of defense costs, totaling $169 million and $171 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The recorded liability represents our estimated liability over the next ten 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.
We maintain certain primary and excess insurance coverage under coverage-in-place agreements, and also have additional excess liability insurance with respect to asbestos liabilities. After consultation with our outside legal counsel and giving consideration to agreements with certain of our insurance carriers, the financial viability and legal obligations of our insurance carriers and other relevant factors, we determine an amount we expect is 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.
We recorded a receivable related to asbestos claims of $117 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. We expect that approximately 70% of asbestos claim related losses would be recoverable through insurance during the ten-year period covered by the estimated liability. Of these amounts, $12 million were included in Current Assets as part of Accounts Receivable at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The recorded receivable consists of an amount we expect to collect under coverage-in-place agreements with certain primary carriers and excess insurance carriers as well as an amount we believe is probable of recovery from certain of our other excess insurance carriers.
We believe that, at December 31, 2015, we had approximately $410 million in excess level policy limits applicable to indemnity and defense costs for asbestos products claims under coverage-in-place agreements.  We also had additional unsettled excess level policy limits potentially applicable to such costs.  We also had coverage under certain primary policies for indemnity and defense costs for asbestos products claims under remaining aggregate limits pursuant to a coverage-in-place agreement, as well as coverage for indemnity and defense costs for asbestos premises claims pursuant to coverage-in-place agreements.
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 amounts 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

- 19-


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

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.
Amiens Labor Claims
Approximately 800 former employees of the closed Amiens, France manufacturing facility have asserted wrongful termination or other claims totaling €112 million ($128 million) against Goodyear Dunlop Tires France. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims, and any additional claims that may be asserted against us, and cannot estimate the amounts, if any, that we may ultimately pay in respect of such claims.
Other Actions
We are currently a party to various claims, indirect tax assessments 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.
Our recorded liabilities and estimates of reasonably possible losses for the contingent liabilities described above are based on our assessment of potential liability using the information available to us at the time and, where applicable, any past experience and recent and current trends with respect to similar matters. Our contingent liabilities are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable judicial or administrative decisions could occur which we did not anticipate. Such an unfavorable decision could include monetary damages, fines or other penalties or an injunction prohibiting us from taking certain actions or selling certain products. If such an unfavorable decision were to occur, it could result in a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations in the period in which the decision occurs, or in future periods.
Income Tax Matters
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 income tax benefits to the extent that it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained when challenged by the taxing authorities. We derecognize income tax benefits when based on new information we determine that it is no longer more likely than not that our position will be sustained. To the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or determine we need to derecognize tax benefits recorded in prior periods, our results of operations and effective tax rate in a given period could be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require use of our cash, and lead to recognition of expense to the extent the settlement amount exceeds recorded liabilities and, in the case of an income tax settlement, result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction of expense to the extent the settlement amount is lower than recorded liabilities and, in the case of an income tax settlement, would result in a reduction in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution.
While the Company applies consistent transfer pricing policies and practices globally, supports transfer prices through economic studies, seeks advance pricing agreements and joint audits to the extent possible and believes its transfer prices to be appropriate, such transfer prices, and related interpretations of tax laws, are occasionally challenged by various taxing authorities globally. We have received various tax assessments challenging our interpretations of applicable tax laws in various jurisdictions. Although we believe we have complied with applicable tax laws, have strong positions and defenses and have historically been successful in defending such claims, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected in the case we are unsuccessful in the defense of existing or future claims.
Guarantees
We have off-balance sheet financial guarantees and other commitments totaling approximately $53 million and $49 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. We issue guarantees to financial institutions or other entities on behalf of certain of our affiliates, lessors or customers. Normally there is no separate premium received by us as consideration for the issuance of guarantees. In 2015, as a result of the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI, we issued a guarantee of approximately $46 million to an insurance company related to SRI's obligation to pay GDTNA's outstanding workers' compensation claims arising during the existence of the global alliance. We have concluded the probability of our performance to be remote and, therefore, have not recorded a liability for this guarantee. While there is no fixed duration of this guarantee, we expect the amount of this

- 20-


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

guarantee to decrease over time as GDTNA pays its outstanding claims. If our performance under these guarantees is triggered by non-payment or another specified event, we would be obligated to make payment to the financial institution or the other entity, and would typically have recourse to the affiliate, lessor, customer, or SRI. Except for the workers' compensation guarantee described above, the guarantees expire at various times through 2020. We are unable to estimate the extent to which our affiliates’, lessors’, customers’, or SRI's assets would be adequate to recover any payments made by us under the related guarantees.
NOTE 12. CAPITAL STOCK
Dividends
In the first three months of 2016, we paid cash dividends of $19 million on our common stock. On April 11, 2016, the Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) declared cash dividends of $0.07 per share of common stock, or approximately $19 million in the aggregate. The dividend will be paid on June 1, 2016 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 2, 2016. Future quarterly dividends are subject to Board approval.
Common Stock Repurchases
On September 18, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized $100 million for use in our common stock repurchase program. On May 27, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an increase in that authorization to $450 million. On February 4, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a further increase in that authorization to $1.1 billion. This program expires on December 31, 2018. We intend to repurchase shares of common stock in open market transactions in order to offset new shares issued under equity compensation programs and to provide for additional shareholder returns. During the first quarter of 2016, we repurchased 1,591,376 shares at an average price of $31.42 per share, or $50 million in the aggregate. Since 2013, we repurchased 16,099,094 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $28.78 per share, or $463 million in the aggregate.
In addition, we routinely repurchase shares delivered to us by employees as payment for the exercise price of stock options and the withholding taxes due upon the exercise of the stock options or the vesting or payment of stock awards. During the first quarter of 2016, we did not repurchase any shares from employees.

Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-guarantor Subsidiaries, (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. The guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent Company and guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation. Changes in intercompany receivables and payables related to operations, such as intercompany sales or service charges, are included in cash flows from operating activities. Intercompany transactions reported as investing or financing activities include the sale of the capital stock of various subsidiaries, loans and other capital transactions between members of the consolidated group. In 2015, the Parent Company acquired the common shares of a non-guarantor subsidiary from another non-guarantor subsidiary at a cost of $145 million. The transaction was settled by the cancellation of intercompany balances between the Parent Company and the transferring non-guarantor subsidiary. In addition, in 2015 the Parent Company capitalized approximately $90 million of intercompany receivables from a non-guarantor subsidiary with a corresponding increase in equity of the subsidiary.
Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company are limited in their ability to remit funds to it by means of dividends, advances or loans due to required foreign government and/or currency exchange board approvals or limitations in credit agreements or other debt instruments of those subsidiaries.
