Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. reported unaudited consolidated earnings results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. For the quarter, the company reported net sales of $4,853 million compared to $5,533 million a year ago. The decline was primarily related to an 8% reduction in unit volume and a 2% reduction due to foreign currency translation. The remainder of the decline is attributable to the company's chemical business as both volumes and commodity spot prices declined from the prior year. Income before income taxes was $50 million compared to $56 million a year ago. Net income was $31 million compared to $8 million a year ago. Net income available to common shareholders was $26 million or $0.10 per basic and diluted share compared to net loss available to common shareholders of $11 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted share a year ago. Total cash flows used in operating activities was $937 million compared to $754 million a year ago. Capital expenditures were $271 million compared to $276 million a year ago. Free cash flow used in operations (non-GAAP) was $276 million compared to free cash flow from operations (non-GAAP) of $1,310 million a year ago. The company continues to target positive cash flow in 2013, excluding pension pre-funding.
