“Our teams continued to do a great job executing our strategy, which resulted in first quarter 2021 volume that exceeded not only the coronavirus-impacted 2020 level, but also 2019 in both segments,” said Cooper president & CEO, Brad Hughes.

“Within the Americas segment, our US volume significantly outperformed the USTMA [US Tire Manufacturers Association] and the total industry. Our International segment volume increased nearly 50% compared to the first quarter of 2020.

“Demand remained strong for the industry and Cooper in the first quarter. Our unit volume performance in the quarter, while strong, continued to be constrained by supply that fell short of demand, caused in part by severe weather in the southern US that impacted our ability to produce and move products.

“As previously announced, Cooper stockholders overwhelmingly voted in favour of the proposed Goodyear-Cooper business combination. We expect to complete the merger in the second half of 2021, however, the transaction could close earlier, following and subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals.
