| Accounting Policies | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an indicator of impairment is present. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances warrant such review. Goodwill and intangible assets are written down to fair value if considered impaired. Goodwill and Intangible Assets totaled $44 million and $640 million, respectively, at September 30, 2026, compared to $42 million and $663 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. All goodwill was associated with the reporting unit in our Asia Pacific segment at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. In the third quarter of 2026, macroeconomic and geopolitical events continued to have an adverse impact on our results and contributed to the decline in our replacement volume. We considered the impact on the fair value of our goodwill reporting unit and our indefinite-lived intangible assets. During this review, we considered the nature and extent of current market conditions, forecasts for reporting units and individual brands, as well as the quantitative analysis performed during our annual 2025 impairment test and the interim quantitative assessment performed in the second quarter of 2026. Based on our review of external and internal factors compared to our latest quantitative assessment, we determined it was not more likely than not that the fair value of our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than the respective carrying value, and thus, a triggering event had not occurred which would require an interim impairment test to be performed. We will continue to monitor our results and market conditions to determine if a future analysis would be required. During the third quarter of 2025, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $674 million to fully impair our North America reporting unit's goodwill in our Americas segment. Tariff Refunds The International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") was used by President Trump to impose tariffs on imports. On December 10, 2025, we filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade challenging the IEPPA tariffs. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. The Court of International Trade has ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to begin refunding tariffs imposed under IEEPA. On April 20, 2026, we submitted our claim for a refund of the IEEPA tariffs through the CBP portal established to process such claims. We applied the loss recovery model and determined that the receipt of the refund of the previously paid IEEPA tariffs is probable. In the first quarter of 2026, we estimated the amount of the probable refund to be $60 million, of which $46 million was recognized as a reduction to cost of goods sold, $12 million was applied as a reduction to tariffs that remained in inventory, and $2 million was accrued as an other liability associated with contractual terms. We received IEEPA tariff refunds of $42 million in the second quarter of 2026, with the remaining refund amounts received in the third quarter of 2026. 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 primarily carried at cost. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash as reported within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
Restricted Cash at both September 30, 2026 and 2025, primarily represents amounts required to be set aside for accounts receivable factoring programs. The restrictions lapse when cash from factored accounts receivable is remitted to the purchaser of those receivables. Restricted cash at September 30, 2025, also includes amounts collected in connection with ongoing agreements related to the sale of our off-the-road ("OTR") tire business. At both September 30, 2026 and 2025, restricted cash was recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reclassifications and Adjustments Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
