Goodyear anticipates recording an after-tax, non-cash loss of $30 million to $35 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 as a result of the transaction, subject to post-closing adjustments.

The company said T&WA’s exit from the tire and wheel assembly business is consistent with Goodyear’s previously announced strategy to focus on its core consumer and commercial tire businesses. T&WA is a variable interest entity that is consolidated with Goodyear under generally accepted accounting principles.
