Current report

Tariffs implemented to date in the United States and elsewhere have caused significant disruption, increased costs (both directly and indirectly), and uncertainty in the automotive industry, including for Ford, other OEMs, suppliers, and dealers, as well as customers. Moreover, tariffs implemented or increased in the United States and elsewhere in the future may exacerbate these impacts. Further, instability in the supply chain exacerbated by tariffs and other industry concerns, such as China’s restriction on the export of rare earth minerals and various components, has resulted in production disruptions and increased costs and heightens the risk of future production disruptions and additional cost increases. Tariffs have affected and will continue to affect all OEMs, to various degrees.

Current report

In 2025, Ford’s gross costs related to tariffs implemented or revised in 2025 was about $3 billion, including the impact of tariff relief, and the net EBIT impact was about $2 billion after offsets. This relief is subject to periodic approval by the U.S. Department of Commerce and may be revised based on factors such as U.S. production and import content levels. As of December 31, 2025, we recognized a receivable of $974 million reflecting tariffs paid but for which we had not yet received refunds. Although we have started to receive refunds, the timing for our receipt of refunds is uncertain and is subject to changes in trade policy. Tariffs, particularly on auto parts for U.S. assembly, if sustained for an extended period of time, will have a significant adverse effect on U.S. production and the overall automotive industry.

Current report

For additional information regarding the impact and potential impact of trade policy and tariffs on our business, see the Outlook section on page 74 of this Report and Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Current report

In September 2025 and November 2025, fires at a Novelis Inc. plant in New York disrupted operations at the facility. Novelis is a major aluminum supplier to Ford, and since the initial fire occurred, we have been working closely with Novelis to address the situation and exploring potential alternative sources of aluminum. We have also sought mitigating actions to minimize potential disruptions to our operations. Although the ultimate impact on Ford is uncertain, we experienced lower production in the fourth quarter of 2025 driven by the Novelis fires, which we expect to recover partially in 2026. For more information regarding the impact and potential impact of the Novelis fires on our business, see the Outlook section on page 74 of this Report.

Current report

See Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional discussion of the risks related to disruptions to Ford’s and Ford’s suppliers’ production and operations.

Current report

Electric Vehicle Market. Although we are investing in our EV strategy, we anticipate that the EV market will continue to evolve. To date, we have observed lower-than-anticipated industrywide EV adoption rates due to changes in consumer sentiment, competitive dynamics, legal and policy changes, and significant developments in vehicle pricing dynamics, among other factors that we continue to monitor. The trend may be further exacerbated as policy changes in the United States have reduced or eliminated supply- and demand-side EV incentives, which may further slow the adoption of EVs. Moreover, potentially significant reductions in the stringency of federal emissions and fuel economy standards and federal legislation that eliminated the authority of California and other states to implement and enforce their most stringent emissions standards and zero-emission vehicle sales requirements, and other actions that may be forthcoming, may add to the disruption of the market for EVs in the United States, our largest market. These developments, which may continue to affect the pace of EV adoption, could extend the period of underutilization of EV production capacity across the industry.

Current report

This environment has led us, and may in the future lead us, to adjust our investments, spending, production, and product and future technology launches to better match the pace of EV adoption. As a result of the lower-than-anticipated adoption rates, near-term pricing pressures, and other factors, we have recorded and may continue to incur charges related to payments to our EV-related suppliers (battery, raw material, or otherwise), inventory adjustments, impairments, or other matters.

Current report

For example, in 2024, we announced the cancellation of an all-electric three-row SUV program. The impact of that cancellation also resulted in changes to future technology and product launches. Through December 31, 2025, we incurred expenses of $2.4 billion related to these actions, all of which we reported as special items. Although we do not expect to incur significant additional expenses, cash payments related to these actions will continue through 2026.

Current report

In December 2025, we announced our decision to rationalize our EV manufacturing capacity and product roadmap, including cancelling three previously planned EVs and ending production of the current generation F-150 Lightning EV. As a result of the challenges facing the EV market and the decisions we made in response to those challenges, we recorded the following charges as special items: an $8.4 billion pre-tax non-cash impairment charge, including goodwill, for our Model e long-lived assets; $1.1 billion of non-cash asset write-downs related to the EV program cancellations described above; and $1.2 billion of other charges to be paid in cash (primarily related to contractual commitments related to those programs). We may incur additional expenses and cash expenditures of up to about $4 billion related to these actions and will recognize those charges in the quarter they are incurred as a special item.

Current report

In addition, in December 2025, Ford, SK On Co., Ltd., and SK Battery America, Inc., and BlueOval SK, LLC (“BOSK”) entered into a Joint Venture Disposition Agreement (“JVDA”), pursuant to which our membership interest in BOSK will be redeemed, and a Ford subsidiary will receive BOSK’s two Kentucky plants and related assets, and will assume the related liabilities. The value of the liabilities assumed is expected to exceed the value of the assets received; accordingly, we do not expect to recover the carrying amount of our investment in BOSK. Therefore, in the fourth quarter of 2025, we recorded a $3.2 billion pre-tax non-cash impairment charge as a special item.

Current report

Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the JVDA (expected in the first half of 2026), we expect to recognize additional special item charges of about $3 billion, which includes about $500 million of cash expenditures. For additional information about BOSK and the JVDA, see Note 23 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Current report

In total, in the fourth quarter of 2025, we recorded about $13.8 billion of charges related to our updated EV strategy and the expected disposition of our BOSK investment.

Current report

These regulatory and market dynamics may continue to occur, which could have a substantial adverse impact on our results of operations and/or business, including our investments in supply, production capacity, and equity method investments.

Current report

Further, the pace of EV adoption and slower-than-anticipated development of the EV market may impact our strategy to comply with regulatory emissions and fuel economy standards and zero-emission vehicle requirements. Although recent actions taken and expected to be taken in the United States and elsewhere may eliminate or reduce the stringency of such standards, if consumers do not purchase our EVs and other highly fuel-efficient vehicles in sufficient numbers, it may be difficult for Ford to meet applicable environmental standards in certain markets and may force us to take various product-led actions (e.g., curtailing the production and sale of certain internal combustion vehicles) that could have substantial adverse effects on our sales volume and operations and/or purchase compliance credits from third parties.

Current report

For additional discussion of the impact of changes in the EV market to our business, and the risks related thereto, see the “Governmental Standards” discussion in “Item 1. Business” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” above.

Current report

We recorded $17,356 million of pre-tax special item charges in 2025, primarily reflecting a Model e asset impairment, asset write-downs and other charges due to EV program cancellations, and an impairment of our investment in BOSK related to the BOSK JV disposition. For additional information, see Notes 13, 14, and 23 of the Notes to the Financial Statements. Charges related to the all-electric three-row SUV program cancellation and resulting actions, ongoing restructuring actions in Europe, a field service action for fuel injectors, and pension and OPEB remeasurement were also recorded as special items in 2025.

Current report

We recorded a $4.8 billion benefit from tax special items in 2025, primarily reflecting the impact of the special items above and a net benefit of $1.5 billion associated with the release of valuation allowances resulting from improvements in our South American and South Asian operations, offset partially by non-cash charges to deferred tax assets of $0.5 billion associated with resolving transfer pricing matters in certain non-U.S. operations and $0.4 billion to recognize the impact of tax legislation enacted in Germany.

Current report

The year-over-year decrease of $14,061 million in net income/(loss) in 2025 was primarily driven by higher special items and lower Ford Blue and Ford Pro EBIT, offset partially by lower taxes. The higher year-over-year special items primarily reflect the Model e asset impairment and EV program cancellations as well as the BOSK JV disposition. The year-over-year decrease of $3,428 million in Company adjusted EBIT primarily reflects lower Ford Blue and Ford Pro EBIT, including the impact of new and revised tariffs, offset partially by higher Ford Credit EBT and improved Model e EBIT.

Current report

In 2025, Ford Blue’s wholesales decreased 5% from a year ago, primarily driven by lower wholesales in North America including a planned reduction in dealer stocks resulting in lower wholesales across multiple nameplates and lower F-150 wholesales driven by a disruption in aluminum supply. Lower sales at our joint ventures in China also contributed to the decrease. Full year 2025 revenue decreased 1%, reflecting lower wholesales offset partially by favorable net pricing and mix.

Current report

Ford Blue’s 2025 full year EBIT was $3,024 million, a decrease of $2,245 million from a year ago, with an EBIT margin of 3.0%. The lower EBIT was primarily driven by lower volume, including the impact of the disruption in aluminum supply, higher tariff-related costs, and adverse exchange. Favorable net pricing and lower material and warranty costs were partial offsets.

Current report

In 2025, Ford Model e’s wholesales increased 69% from a year ago, primarily reflecting higher wholesales in Europe, including a full year of production of the Explorer and Capri and the introduction of the Puma Gen-E. Full year 2025 revenue increased 73%, driven by the higher wholesales.

Current report

Ford Model e’s 2025 full year EBIT loss was $4,806 million, a $299 million improvement from a year ago, with an EBIT margin of negative 72.1%. The improved EBIT was primarily driven by higher volume and lower costs. The lower costs include lower material cost, which more than offset increased tariff-related costs and volume-related manufacturing costs.

Current report

In 2025, Ford Pro’s wholesales decreased 1% from a year ago, primarily reflecting lower industry volume in Europe and the impact of a disruption in aluminum supply, offset partially by higher daily rental volume in North America. Full year 2025 revenue decreased 1%, driven by moderated pricing across fleets (including daily rental), offset partially by favorable exchange.

Current report

Ford Pro’s 2025 full year EBIT was $6,843 million, a decrease of $2,164 million from a year ago, with an EBIT margin of 10.3%. The lower EBIT was primarily driven by unfavorable fleet pricing (including daily rental), unfavorable mix, and higher tariff-related costs. Excluding tariffs, cost improved year-over-year, driven by lower material and warranty costs.

Current report

Ford Credit’s total net receivables at December 31, 2025 of $146.3 billion were 2% higher than a year ago, explained primarily by a larger operating lease portfolio and exchange, offset partially by lower non-consumer financing. The 2025 U.S. retail loss-to-receivables ratio of 59 basis points increased from a year ago, reflecting increased loss severity and higher repossessions. Ford Credit’s U.S. auction values for off-lease vehicles increased 3% from a year ago, reflecting industrywide low used vehicle supply and high demand.

Current report

Ford Credit’s 2025 EBT of $2.6 billion was $0.9 billion higher than a year ago, explained primarily by higher financing margin, higher receivables, and a favorable derivative market valuation adjustment (included in Other). Higher credit losses and charges related to an industrywide review by the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority into the historical use of dealer commissions (also included in Other) were partial offsets.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, P.L. 119-21 (otherwise known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”) was signed into law. We have analyzed the provisions within the act and determined there was no material impact on our 2025 consolidated financial statements.

Current report

•Debt repayments including finance lease payments (for additional information, see Note 18 of the Notes to the Financial Statements)

Current report

•With respect to Novelis, in 2025, the fires were a headwind of $2 billion. In 2026, we expect a year-over-year improvement of about $1.0 billion, which includes $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion of temporary costs, including tariffs, attributable to continuity in aluminum supply

Current report

◦Positive market factors, including favorable mix associated with the sunset of low-margin nameplates and benefits from changes in the U.S. regulatory environment

Current report

◦About flat cost–We expect lower tariff costs of about $1.0 billion, reflecting a full year’s worth of credit expansion, and further material and warranty cost reductions. We expect these lower costs to offset about $1.0 billion of higher commodity prices, driven by inflation, and incremental investment in support of our Universal EV platform, the ramp of Ford Energy, and cycle plan actions

Current report

We disclose our estimate of reasonably possible costs in excess of our accruals for material field service actions and customer satisfaction actions. The estimate we provide is presented on a gross cost basis, and we do not reduce or net our estimate to eliminate any unrealized profit Ford may earn associated with part sales to dealers.

Current report

Nature of Estimates Required - Goodwill. Goodwill is subject to periodic assessments for impairment. We test goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate goodwill may be impaired. We assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If a qualitative assessment identifies a possible impairment or we impair the assets of a reporting unit, then a quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is above fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

Electric Vehicle Market. 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. In 2024, we recorded $1.2 billion of expenses related to the cancellation of a previously announced all-electric three-row SUV program. We may incur additional expenses and cash expenditures of about $700 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, and we may continue to incur expenses related to payments to our electric vehicle-related suppliers (battery, raw material, or otherwise), asset write-downs, or other matters. These market dynamics may continue to occur, which could have a substantial impact on our business, including our investments in supply and production capacity. In addition, policy change in the United States could reduce or eliminate supply- and demand-side incentives, resulting in slower adoption of EVs. Further, the pace of EV adoption could force Ford to take various product-led actions (e.g., curtailing the production and sale of certain internal combustion vehicles) that could have substantial adverse effects on our sales volume and operations. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional discussion of the risks related to lower-than-anticipated electric vehicle volumes and our planned transition to a greater mix of electric vehicles.

Previous report

In 2024, the Ford Next segment primarily included expenses and investments for emerging business initiatives aimed at creating value for Ford in vehicle-adjacent market segments. As of January 1, 2025, Ford Next is no longer a reportable segment, and those expenses and investments are reflected in either the reportable segments that benefit from those expenses and investments or Corporate Other.

Previous report

Our Ford Next segment EBIT loss in 2024 was $50 million, an $88 million improvement from a year ago. Ford Next has evolved from primarily investing in the development of autonomous vehicle capabilities to focus exclusively on incubating and launching new businesses creating strategic value for Ford.

Previous report

We recorded $5.1 billion of pre-tax special item charges in 2023, driven primarily by pension and OPEB remeasurement, restructuring actions in Europe and China, and the Transit Connect customs matter.

Previous report

The year-over-year increase of $6.3 billion in net income/(loss) in 2023 was primarily driven by the non-recurrences of the mark-to-market net loss on our Rivian investment and the impairment on our Argo investment (both of which were included in special items in 2022), partially offset by a pension and OPEB remeasurement loss and higher charges for restructuring actions in Europe and China. The flat year-over-year Company adjusted EBIT primarily reflected higher Ford Pro and Ford Blue EBIT and a lower EBIT loss in Ford Next. Offsets included higher EBIT losses in Ford Model e, lower past service pension and OPEB income in Corporate Other, and lower Ford Credit EBT.

Previous report

In 2023, Ford Blue’s wholesales increased 3% from 2022, primarily reflecting an improvement in production-related supply constraints, offset partially by ceasing production of EcoSport and Fiesta small vehicles and production losses during the UAW strike. Full year 2023 revenue increased 8%, driven by higher wholesales, favorable mix, and higher net pricing, offset partially by weaker currencies.

Previous report

Ford Blue’s 2023 full year EBIT was $7.5 billion, an increase of $615 million from 2022, with an EBIT margin of 7.3%. The EBIT improvement was driven primarily by favorable mix, lower commodity costs, higher wholesales and net pricing. Partial offsets primarily included higher warranty costs (reflecting inflationary cost pressures and increased field service actions), higher material costs related to new products, higher structural costs and supplemental compensation (including the impact of the UAW collective bargaining agreement), and weaker currencies.

Previous report

In 2023, Ford Model e’s wholesales increased 20% from 2022, primarily reflecting higher production of F-150 Lightning. Full year 2023 revenue increased 12%, driven by higher wholesales, offset partially by lower net pricing.

Previous report

Ford Model e’s 2023 full year EBIT loss was $4.7 billion, a $2.6 billion higher loss than in 2022, with an EBIT margin of negative 79.7%. The EBIT deterioration was primarily driven by lower net pricing, higher material cost (including volume-related obligations for batteries of about $310 million, inflationary cost increases, and higher launch-related supplier costs), higher volume/capacity-related manufacturing and spending-related costs, higher warranty costs, and higher engineering costs for future programs, offset partially by lower commodity costs and stronger currencies.

Previous report

In 2023, Ford Pro’s wholesales increased 6% from 2022, primarily reflecting an improvement in production-related supply constraints, offset partially by production losses during the UAW strike. Full year 2023 revenue increased 19%, driven by higher net pricing and wholesales, offset partially by unfavorable mix.

Previous report

Ford Pro’s 2023 full year EBIT was $7.2 billion, an increase of $4.0 billion from 2022, with an EBIT margin of 12.4%. The EBIT improvement was driven by higher net pricing, lower commodity costs, and higher wholesales. Partial offsets primarily included higher material costs (related to inflationary cost pressures, new products, and about $80 million of volume-related obligations for batteries), higher warranty costs (reflecting inflationary cost pressures and increased field service actions), and higher structural costs (including volume-related) and supplemental compensation (including the impact of the UAW collective bargaining agreement).

Previous report

In our Ford Next segment, our 2023 EBIT loss was $138 million, a $788 million improvement from 2022.

Previous report

Ford Credit’s 2023 EBT of $1,331 million was $1,326 million lower than 2022, reflecting lower financing margin, the non-recurrence of supplemental depreciation and credit loss reserve releases, lower lease residual performance, unfavorable derivative market valuation, and higher credit losses.

Previous report

•Debt repayments (for additional information, see the Aggregate Contractual Obligations table below and Note 18 of the Notes the Financial Statements)

Previous report

The table below summarizes our aggregate contractual obligations as of December 31, 2024 (in millions):

Previous report

(b)Long-term debt may have fixed or variable interest rates. For long-term debt with variable-rate interest, we estimate the future interest payments based on projected market interest rates for various floating-rate benchmarks received from third parties.

Previous report

(d)Excludes approximately $707 million in future lease payments for various operating leases commencing in a future period.

Previous report

(b)2022 includes a $7.4 billion loss on our Rivian investment. 2023 includes $2.6 billion of capital contributions to BlueOval SK, LLC. 2024 includes $2.3 billion of capital contributions to BlueOval SK, LLC, offset by a return of capital of $1.4 billion.

Previous report

Pension Plan Contributions and Strategy. Our strategy is to reduce the risk of our funded defined benefit pension plans, including minimizing the volatility of the value of our pension assets relative to pension liabilities and the need for unplanned use of capital resources to fund the plans. The strategy reduces balance sheet, cash flow, and income exposures and, in turn, reduces our risk profile. Going forward, we expect to:

Previous report

•Ford Pro EBIT of $7.5 billion to $8.0 billion, reflecting continued strength of core Ford Pro products and services along with moderated pricing across fleets, including daily rental

Previous report

•Ford Blue EBIT of $3.5 billion to $4.0 billion, reflecting lower wholesales as inventories rebalance and exchange rate pressures. We also expect cost efficiencies to be a partial offset

Previous report

•Ford Model e EBIT loss of $5.0 billion to $5.5 billion, reflecting continued pricing pressure and on-going investments in our next generation products, offset partially by continued cost efficiencies

Previous report

•Lower pricing across the industry with inventory at normalized levels

Previous report

We are continuing to assess the full implications of the tariffs on imports to the United States from Canada and Mexico (in addition to China) announced on February 1, 2025. The precise impacts depend on scope and timing in addition to a number of secondary and tertiary effects, e.g., price elasticities, how our Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers react, possible substitution effects, and possible duty drawbacks. However, should 25% tariffs be implemented and remain in place for an extended period of time, it would significantly reduce Ford’s earnings over the course of the year.

Previous report

When we provide guidance for adjusted EBIT, we do not provide guidance on a net income basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty, including gains and losses on pension and OPEB remeasurements and on investments in equity securities.

Previous report

(a)2022 reflects the tax consequences of unrealized losses on marketable securities and favorable changes in our valuation allowances; 2023 reflects benefits from U.S. research tax credits and legal entity restructuring within our leasing operations and China.

(b)2022 reflects the tax consequences of unrealized losses on marketable securities and favorable changes in our valuation allowances; 2023 reflects benefits from China legal entity restructuring.

Previous report

Nature of Estimates Required - Held-for-Sale Operations. We perform an impairment test on a disposal group to be discontinued, held for sale, or otherwise disposed of when we have committed to an action and the action is expected to be completed within one year. We estimate fair value to approximate the expected proceeds to be received, less cost to sell, and compare it to the carrying value of the disposal group. An impairment charge is recognized when the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. We also assess fair value if circumstances arise that were considered unlikely and, as a result, we decide not to sell a disposal group previously classified as held for sale upon reclassification to held and used. When there is a change to a plan of sale, and the assets are reclassified from held for sale to held and used, the long-lived assets are reported at the lower of (i) the carrying amount before a held-for-sale designation, adjusted for depreciation that would have been recognized if the assets had not been classified as held for sale, or (ii) the fair value at the date the assets no longer satisfy the criteria for classification as held for sale.

Previous report

Assumptions and Approach Used - Held-for-sale Operations. In the first quarter of 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell 100% of our equity interest in Ford Sales and Service Korea Company (“FSSK”), and the assets and liabilities of the entity were classified as held for sale. However, as of December 31, 2024, FSSK no longer met the held-for-sale criteria as that sale transaction did not close and is no longer probable of occurring. Accordingly, FSSK’s assets and liabilities were reclassified and reported as held and used as of December 31, 2024. In the third quarter of 2024, we entered into an agreement to sell 100% of our equity interest in Ford Motor Company A/S, our national sales company in Denmark. The entity was classified as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2024 once all held-for-sale criteria were met. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2024, the assets and liabilities of Ford Motor Company A/S were reported as held for sale. We determined that the assets of both FSSK and Ford Motor Company A/S, which were not material, were not impaired. See Note 21 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for more information regarding held-for-sale operations.
Reworded paragraphs (122)

Previous wording

Trade Policy. To the extent governments in various regions implement or intensify barriers to imports, such as erecting tariff or non-tariff barriers or manipulating their currency, and provide advantages to local exporters selling into the global marketplace, there can be a significant negative impact on manufacturers based in other markets. In addition, as governments consider an expanded use of tariffs as a lever in achieving a balance of trade, this new dynamic could have a substantial adverse effect on our business and the automotive sector. The new, substantial tariff increases on imports to the United States from Canada and Mexico (in addition to China) announced on February 1, 2025, should they be implemented and sustained for an extended period of time, would have a significant adverse effect, including financial, on the overall automotive industry, Ford, and our supply chain. We will continue to monitor and address the developing role that geopolitical, climate, and labor concerns are playing in trade relations.

Current wording

Trade Policy. To the extent governments in various regions implement or intensify restrictions or barriers to trade, such as tariff or non-tariff barriers, export controls, currency manipulation, or policies that otherwise favor domestic companies, there can be a significant negative impact on manufacturers based in other markets.

Previous wording

Production and Supply Chain. We continued to see improved supply chain throughput in 2024 resulting from improved resilience to short term disruptions. However, production constraints due to capacity and labor shortages remain as we adjust to shifting market conditions and balance our production mix, and the increased tariffs announced on February 1, 2025 and any additional tariffs, as discussed above, could have a significant impact on our supply chain and, in turn, our production. We continue to reevaluate our supply base and sourcing decisions and may in the future incur charges to improve flexibility and cost competitiveness.

Current wording

Production and Supply Chain. Market volatility and shifting global supply chains have continued to create some production constraints, though conditions have improved from the immediate post-COVID period. As we adjust to shifting market conditions and balance our production mix, continued uncertainty with regard to current and future levels of tariffs, as discussed above, could have a significant impact on our supply chain and, in turn, our production. We continue to reevaluate our supply base and sourcing decisions and may in the future incur charges to improve flexibility and cost competitiveness.

Previous wording

Currency Exchange Rate Volatility. Globally, central banks have begun shifting from tightening policy by raising interest rates to holding rates steady or, in several markets, beginning to cut rates. As they do, they need to carefully balance the risk that inflation remains elevated against the heightened financial and economic risks associated with high interest rates. This is notable for many emerging markets, which may also face increased exposure to commodity prices and political instability, contributing to unpredictable movements in the value of their exchange rates. In addition to direct impacts on the financial flows of global automotive companies, currency movements can also impact pricing of vehicles exported to overseas markets. In most markets, exchange rates are market-determined, and all are impacted by many different macroeconomic and policy factors, and thus likely to remain volatile. However, in some markets, exchange rates are heavily influenced or controlled by governments.

Current wording

Currency Exchange Rate Volatility. Although a few global central banks have raised interest rates recently, most remain in the process of lowering policy rates that had been elevated in order to address inflation concerns. As these policy rates shift, central banks need to carefully balance the risk that inflation remains elevated against the heightened financial and economic risks associated with high interest rates. This is notable for many emerging markets, which may also face increased exposure to commodity prices and political instability, contributing to unpredictable movements in the value of their exchange rates. In addition to direct impacts on the financial flows of global automotive companies, currency movements can also impact pricing of vehicles exported to overseas markets. In most markets, exchange rates are market-determined, and all are impacted by many different macroeconomic and policy factors, and thus likely to remain volatile. However, in some markets, exchange rates are heavily influenced or controlled by governments.

Previous wording

Pricing Pressure. Despite vehicle pricing remaining elevated over the last year due to strong demand, supply shortages, and inflationary costs, we have already observed some declines in new and used vehicle prices as auto production recovers from the semiconductor shortage, but it is unclear whether prices will decline fully to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. Intense competition and excess capacity are likely to put downward pressure on inflation-adjusted prices, including increased marketing incentives, for similarly-contented vehicles and contribute to a challenging pricing environment for the automotive industry in most major markets.

Current wording

Pricing Pressure. Despite vehicle pricing remaining elevated over the last year due to strong demand, lingering supply shortages, tariffs, and inflationary costs, we have already observed some declines in new and used vehicle prices, especially in the EV segment, but it is unclear whether industry prices will decline fully to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels as costs remain elevated. Intense competition and excess capacity are likely to put downward pressure on inflation-adjusted prices, including increased marketing incentives, for similarly contented vehicles and contribute to a challenging pricing environment for the automotive industry in most major markets.

Previous wording

Commodity and Energy Prices. Prices for commodities remain volatile. Spot prices for various commodities have recently diverged somewhat, as weakening in global industrial activity mitigates price increases for base metals such as steel and aluminum, while precious metals (e.g., palladium), and raw materials that are used in batteries for electric vehicles (e.g., lithium, cobalt, and nickel) have declined from historic highs but remain elevated. The net impact on us and our suppliers has been higher material costs overall. To help ensure supply of raw materials for critical components (e.g., batteries), we, like others in the industry, have entered into multi-year sourcing agreements and may enter into additional agreements. Similar dynamics are impacting energy markets, with Europe particularly exposed to the risk of both higher prices and constraints on supply of natural gas due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Such shortages may impact facilities operated by us or our suppliers, which could have an impact on us in Europe and other regions. In the long term, the outcome of de-carbonization and electrification of the vehicle fleet may depress oil demand, but geopolitical dynamics and the global energy transition will also contribute to ongoing volatility of oil and other energy prices.

Current wording

Commodity and Energy Prices. Prices for commodities remain volatile. Spot prices for various commodities have recently diverged, as weakening global EV demand mitigates price increases for battery-related commodities, while base metals such as steel and aluminum face tariff-related impacts, and precious metals (e.g., palladium) also remain at elevated price levels due to geopolitical uncertainty and other factors. Overall, the net impact on us and our suppliers has been higher material costs. To help ensure supply of raw materials for critical components, we, like others in the industry, have entered into multi-year sourcing agreements and may enter into additional agreements. In the long term, the outcome of de-carbonization and electrification of the vehicle fleet may depress oil demand, but geopolitical dynamics and the global energy transition will also contribute to ongoing volatility of oil and other energy prices.

Inflation and Interest Rates. We continue to see lingering impacts on our business due to inflation, including ongoing geopolitical volatility, driving up energy prices, freight premiums, and other operating costs above normal rates. Although headline inflation in the United States and Europe appears to have peaked, core inflation (excluding food and energy prices) remains elevated and is a source of continued cost pressure on businesses and households. Interest rates have increased significantly and are only now beginning to reverse, as central banks in developed countries attempted to subdue inflation while government deficits and debt remain at high levels in many global markets. Accordingly, the eventual implications of higher government deficits and debt, tighter monetary policy, and potentially higher long-term interest rates may drive a higher cost of capital for the business. At Ford Credit, rising interest rates may impact its ability to source funding and offer financing at competitive rates, which could reduce its financing margin.

Vehicle Profitability. Our financial results depend on the profitability of the vehicles we sell, which may vary significantly by vehicle line. In general, larger vehicles tend to command higher prices and be more profitable than smaller vehicles. For example, in Ford Blue, our larger, more profitable vehicles had an average contribution margin that was 150% of our total average contribution margin across all vehicles, whereas our smaller vehicles had significantly lower contribution margins. In addition, government regulations aimed at reducing emissions and increasing fuel efficiency (e.g., ZEV mandates and low emission zones), and other factors that accelerate the transition to electrified vehicles, may increase the cost of vehicles by more than the perceived benefit to consumers and dampen margins.

Company excluding Ford Credit revenue is generated primarily by sales of vehicles, parts, accessories, and services from our Ford Blue, Ford Model e, and Ford Pro segments. Revenue is recorded when control is transferred to our customers (generally, our dealers and distributors). For the majority of sales, this occurs when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities. However, we defer a portion of the consideration received when there is a separate future or stand-ready performance obligation, such as extended service contracts or ongoing vehicle connectivity. Revenue related to extended service contracts is recognized over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs we expect to incur in satisfying the contract obligations; revenue related to other future or stand-ready performance obligations is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the period in which services are expected to be performed. We also earn income from operating lease assets, primarily vehicles, and record the income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement. Proceeds from the sale of vehicles at auction are recognized in revenue upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the buyer.

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 mechanisms included in our offtake agreements are typically based on the market price of the material at the time of delivery. The terms also may 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 or otherwise compensate the supplier in the amount determined by the contract. Based on the offtake agreements we have entered into thus far, the earliest date by which we could be obligated to purchase any output, subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions, will be in the first half of 2025.
