-In 2013, worldwide tire unit sales decreased by 1.1% year-on-year, due primarily to a decrease in the consumer replacement business in EMEA as a result of economic weakness and increased competition. The decreased sales of non-Goodyear brand products in North America also affected the results. However, the increase in OE tire volume by 1.4% from the previous year partially offset the decrease.

-The Company expects its full-year tire unit sales volume for 2014 will be up between 2-3% compared to 2013.
