Current report
We recorded $1.4 billion of pre-tax special item charges in the third quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting a write-down of certain product-specific assets and other expenses related to the cancellation of a previously planned all-electric three-row SUV program, pension curtailment costs and remeasurement losses (primarily related to hourly buyouts in North America), and continued restructuring actions in Europe.
Removed paragraphs (1)
Previous report
We recorded $49 million of pre-tax special item charges in the second quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting restructuring actions in Europe (which triggered remeasurement of certain European pension plans) and updated assumptions for the duration of the Oakville Assembly Plant changeover, which is now shorter than originally planned.
Reworded paragraphs (55)
Previous wording
Although we continue to invest in our electric vehicle strategy, we have observed lower-than-anticipated industrywide electric vehicle adoption rates and near-term pricing pressures, which has led us, and may in the future lead us, to adjust our spending, production, and/or product launches to better match the pace of electric vehicle adoption. As a result, we have incurred, and may continue to incur, expenses related to payments to our electric vehicle-related suppliers (battery, raw material, or otherwise), inventory adjustments, or other matters. Further, significant unexpected changes in the EV demand environment have led, and may in the future lead, to incremental competitive pricing actions. These market dynamics may continue to occur, which could have a substantial impact on our business.
Current wording
Although we continue to invest in our electric vehicle strategy, we have observed lower-than-anticipated industrywide electric vehicle adoption rates and near-term pricing pressures, which has led us, and may in the future lead us, to adjust our spending, production, and/or product launches to better match the pace of electric vehicle adoption. As a result, we recorded about $1.1 billion of expenses in the third quarter of 2024 and may continue to incur expenses related to payments to our electric vehicle-related suppliers (battery, raw material, or otherwise), inventory adjustments, or other matters. The third quarter amount includes $979 million related to the cancellation of a previously announced all-electric three-row SUV program. We may incur additional expenses and cash expenditures of up to about $900 million related to the cancellation, the majority of which we expect to record by the first half of 2025. Further, significant unexpected changes in the EV demand environment have led, and may in the future lead, to incremental competitive pricing actions. These market dynamics may continue to occur, which could have a substantial impact on our business.
Previous wording
In addition, slower-than-anticipated development of the electric vehicle market may impact our strategy to comply with regulatory standards, and, in some cases, we plan to utilize credits purchased from third parties to demonstrate regulatory compliance or we may need to modify our product offerings. In the second quarter of 2024, for example, we entered into agreements to purchase about $3.8 billion of regulatory compliance credits for use in North America and Europe for current and future model years. Our obligations under those agreements as well as the ultimate number of credits we may purchase are dependent on the sellers’ delivery of the credits and on the continued existence of the underlying regulatory compliance obligation in the applicable jurisdiction. During the second quarter of 2024, we recorded about $100 million of expense for our anticipated utilization of regulatory compliance credits, which is included in Ford Blue and Ford Pro results. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2023 Form 10‑K Report and as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC for a discussion of the risks related to lower-than-anticipated electric vehicle volumes and our planned transition to a greater mix of electric vehicles.

The terms of the offtake agreements we have entered into, and those we may enter into in the future, vary by transaction, though they generally obligate us to purchase a certain percentage or minimum amount of output produced by the counterparty over an agreed upon period of time. The purchase price mechanism included in the offtake agreement is typically based on the market price of the material at the time of delivery. The terms may also include conditions to our obligation to purchase the materials, such as quality or minimum output. Subject to satisfaction of those conditions, we will be obligated to purchase the materials at the cost determined by the purchase price mechanism. As of June 30, 2024, our estimated expenditures for the maximum quantity that we are committed to purchase under these offtake agreements through 2035, subject to certain conditions, consist of approximately $3.7 billion of purchase obligations and approximately $6.8 billion of contingent purchase obligations based on our present forecast; however, our forecast could fluctuate from period to period based on market prices, which could result in significant increases or decreases in our estimate. The actual price paid for these materials will be recorded on our balance sheet at the time of purchase. In the event that we do not expect to consume all of the materials we are obligated to purchase pursuant to the terms of these agreements, we may sell the excess materials to a replacement purchaser or back to the supplier. The resale price may or may not be the same as the original purchase price, depending on then-current market conditions and negotiated terms. As a result, in certain instances when the purchase price mechanism under our agreements is higher than the expected resale price of the excess materials, we have recorded and may in the future record accruals related to the resale. Accruals recorded to date for such items have been immaterial.

As of September 30, 2024, our estimated expenditures for the maximum quantity that we are committed to purchase under these offtake agreements through 2035, subject to certain conditions, consist of approximately $3.4 billion of purchase obligations and approximately $4.9 billion of contingent purchase obligations based on our present forecast; however, our forecast could fluctuate from period to period based on market prices, which could result in significant increases or decreases in our estimate.

Accruals recorded to date for such items have been immaterial.

Financial institutions participate in a supply chain finance (“SCF”) program that enables our suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their Ford receivables (i.e., our payment obligations to the suppliers) to the financial institutions on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than our payment terms provide. Our suppliers’ voluntary inclusion of invoices in the SCF program has no bearing on our payment terms, the amounts we pay, or our liquidity. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF program, and we do not provide any guarantees in connection with it. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding amount of Ford receivables that suppliers elected to sell to the SCF financial institutions was $194 million. The amount settled through the SCF program during the first half of 2024 was $767 million.

Current wording
Our third quarter 2024 Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities was positive $5.5 billion, $0.9 billion higher than a year ago (see page 61 for additional information).

Previous wording
Second quarter 2024 working capital impact was flat, driven by lower inventory, offset by higher trade receivables and lower trade payables, each compared to March 31, 2024. All other and timing differences were positive $2.0 billion. Timing differences include differences between accrual-based EBIT and the associated cash flows (e.g., marketing incentive and warranty payments to dealers, JV equity income, compensation payments, and pension and OPEB income or expense). Cash outflows related to our warranty accruals are expected to occur over several years.
Current wording
Third quarter 2024 working capital impact was $0.8 billion, driven by higher trade payables, partially offset by higher inventory, each compared to June 30, 2024.
