Non-GAAP Measures

Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, other financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Company's methods of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies for these or similar non-GAAP financial measures.

Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.

Pursuant to the requirements of SEC Regulation G, detailed reconciliations between the

Company's GAAP and non-GAAP financial results were posted, by incorporation within this presentation, on the Company's Investor Relations website athttp://coopertire.com/investors.aspx on the day the Company's operating and financial results were announced for the quarter ended

December 31, 2020 and management presented certain non-GAAP financial measures during a conference call with analysts and investors. Investors are advised to carefully review and consider this information as well as the GAAP financial results that are disclosed in the Company's earnings releases and annual and quarterly SEC filings.

Non-GAAP Measures

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

The Company is using non-GAAP financial measures in this document because it considers them to be important supplemental measures of the Company's performance. The Company believes ROIC provides additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company's financial and operating performance.

The Company defines ROIC as the trailing four quarters' after tax operating profit, utilizing the Company's adjusted effective tax rate, divided by the total invested capital, which is the average of ending debt and equity for the last five quarters. The Company believes ROIC is a useful measure of how effectively the Company uses capital to generate profits.

In accordance with "safe harbor"

provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, these statements are accompanied by cautionary language identifying important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, that could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to, or statements that are subject to risks, contingencies or uncertainties that relate to:

• • the ability to complete the proposed merger of the Company and Goodyear on anticipated terms and timetable;

• • the effect of restructuring or reorganization of business components;

• • continued volatility in raw material and energy prices, including those of rubber, steel, petroleum-based products and natural gas or the unavailability of such raw materials or energy sources, which may impact the price-adjustment calculations under sales contracts;

• • the ability to cost-effectively achieve planned production rates or levels;

• • the ability to successfully identify and consummate any strategic investments or development projects;

• • the outcome of any contractual disputes with customers, joint venture partners or any other litigation or arbitration;

• • impacts of existing and increasing governmental regulation and related costs and liabilities, including failure to receive or maintain required operating and environmental permits, approvals, modifications or other authorization of, or from, any governmental or regulatory entity and costs related to implementing improvements to ensure compliance with regulatory changes;

• • the ability to maintain adequate liquidity, level of indebtedness and the availability of capital could limit cash flow available to fund working capital, planned capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes or ongoing needs of the business;

• • the ability to continue to pay cash dividends, and the amount and timing of any cash dividends;

• • availability of capital and ability to maintain adequate liquidity;

Forward-Looking Statements (cont.)

We have based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and our partnership. We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and you should not rely unduly on them, as they involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. While our management considers these assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the future performance that we have expressed or forecast in our forward-looking statements. Differences between actual results and any future performance suggested in our forward-looking statements could result from a variety of factors, including the following:

• • the failure to obtain approval of the transaction by the stockholders of the Company and the failure to satisfy various other conditions to the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

• • the failure to obtain governmental approvals of the transaction on the proposed terms and schedule, and any conditions imposed on the combined company in connection with consummation of the transaction;

• • the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;

• • disruption from the proposed transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, partners, employees or suppliers;

• • the risk that the proposed transaction may be less accretive than expected, or may be dilutive, and that the combined company may fail to realize the benefits expected from the Merger;

• • risks relating to any unforeseen liabilities of Goodyear or the Company;

• • the volatility in raw material and energy prices, including those of rubber, steel, petroleum-based products and natural gas or the unavailability of such raw materials or energy sources; extensive governmental regulation;

• • changes to tariffs or trade agreements, or the imposition of new or increased tariffs or trade restrictions, imposed on tires, raw materials or manufacturing equipment which the Company uses, including changes related to tariffs on tires, raw materials and tire manufacturing equipment imported into the U.S. from China or other countries, as well as changes to trade agreements resulting from the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union;

• • future laws and regulations or the manner in which they are interpreted and enforced;

• • the inability to obtain and/or renew permits necessary for the operations;

• • existing and future indebtedness may limit cash flow available;

• • operating expenses could increase significantly if the price of electrical power, fuel or other energy sources increases;

• • changes in credit ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations; risks involving the acts or omissions of our joint venture partners;

• • natural disasters, weather conditions, disruption of energy, unanticipated geological conditions, equipment failures, and other unexpected events;

• • a disruption in, or failure of our information technology systems, including those related to cybersecurity; failure of outside contractors and/or suppliers to perform;

• • the cost and time to implement a strategic capital project may be greater than originally anticipated;

• • reliance on estimates of recoverable reserves; and

• • the risks that are described from time to time in Goodyear's and the Company's respective reports filed with the SEC.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except to the extent required by applicable law.
