USW Petition for Tariff on TBR Tires from China

         The United Steelworkers (USW) union filed a petition on January 29, 2016 with the ITC
          seeking import duties on TBR tire imports from China
         The U.S. AD law imposes special tariffs to counteract imports that are sold in the United
          States at less than “normal value”
         The U.S. CVD law imposes a different set of special tariffs to counteract imports that
          benefit from unfair foreign government subsidies
         For both AD and CVD duties to be imposed, the U.S. government must determine not
          only that dumping and/or subsidization is occurring, but also that there is “material
          injury” (or threat thereof) by reason of the dumped and/or subsidized imports
         DoC announced its preliminary CVD tariff rate on June 28, 2016. The rate that applies
          to Cooper/GRT is 20.22%, effective July 5, 2016.
         Preliminary AD tariff rate was announced on August 29, 2016. The rate (net of offset)
          that applies to Cooper/GRT is 20.46%, and is effective September 5, 2016 and
          retroactive to June 8, 2016.
         The preliminary AD is in addition to the preliminary CVD announced at the end of June.
         Most likely timing for final ITC decision is mid February 2017.

Non-GAAP Measures

      Non‐GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net earnings,
      earnings per share, total debt or 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 the appendix to this
      presentation. 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)
      Management is using non‐GAAP financial measures in this document because it considers them to be important supplemental
      measures of the Company’s performance. Management also believes that these non‐GAAP financial measures provide
      additional insight for analysts and investors in evaluating the Company’s financial and operating performance.

      The Company defines ROIC as the trailing four quarters’ net income from continuing operations before interest, after tax,
      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.
