Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) hereby incorporates by reference its news release dated October 24, 2013, which is filed as Exhibit 99 hereto.
Ford will conduct two conference calls on October 24, 2013 to review preliminary third quarter 2013 financial results. Beginning at 9:00 a.m., Ford President and Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks will host a presentation for the investment community and news media. Investors may access this presentation by dialing 1-800-510-0219 (or 1-617-614-3451 from outside the United States). The passcode for either telephone number is a verbal response of “Ford Earnings.”
At 11:00 a.m., Ford Vice President and Treasurer Neil Schloss, Ford Vice President and Controller Stuart Rowley, and Ford Motor Credit Company Chief Financial Officer Mike Seneski will host a presentation focusing on Ford Motor Credit Company’s preliminary third quarter 2013 financial results. Representatives of the investment community may access this presentation by dialing 1-866-515-2907 (or 1-617-399-5121 from outside the United States). The passcode for either telephone number is a verbal response of “Ford Fixed Income.”
A listen-only webcast and supporting presentation materials for these calls is available on the Internet at www.shareholder.ford.com. Investors also may access replays of the presentations beginning after 2:00 p.m. the day of the event through Thursday, October 31, 2013 by dialing 1-888-286-8010 (or 1-617-801-6888 from outside the United States). The passcode for replays of the earnings call is 69976870; the passcode for replays of the fixed income call is 16609400. All times referenced above are in Eastern Time.
Please note that Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K discusses various financial measures “excluding special items” and/or with other adjustments. The most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) are these same measures including special items and/or without adjustments. We believe that showing these measures on a basis that excludes special items and/or includes other adjustments is useful to investors, because it allows investors to evaluate our results excluding or adjusting for items related to our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, as well as items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities.
In addition, Exhibit 99 discusses our key cash metrics, Automotive operating-related cash flow (which we believe best represents the ability of our Automotive operations to generate cash), Automotive gross cash (including cash and cash equivalents and net marketable securities), and net interest. We believe that Automotive operating-related cash flow is useful to investors because it includes elements that we consider to be related to our operating activities (e.g., capital spending), and excludes cash flow elements that we do not consider to be related to the ability of our operations to generate cash. The most comparable GAAP measure is Cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations on our statement of cash flows. The most comparable GAAP measure for Automotive gross cash is the sum of the individual line items on our balance sheet for each of the elements within that measure (Cash and cash equivalents and Marketable securities). Net interest primarily measures profit variances driven by changes in our Automotive sector’s centrally managed net interest (primarily interest expense, interest income, and other adjustments). The most comparable GAAP measure for net interest is the sum of Interest expense, interest income, and gains/losses on the majority of our investments which are reported in Automotive interest income and other income/(loss), net on our income statement.

DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 24, 2013 — Ford Motor Company [NYSE: F] delivered record third quarter 2013 pre-tax profit of $2.6 billion, reflecting continued strong performance in North America and a combined profit from the regions outside North America. In addition, Ford Credit remained solidly profitable.
Total company third quarter pre-tax profit of $2.6 billion was $426 million higher than a year ago. Third quarter earnings per share of 45 cents was 5 cents per share higher than a year ago.
Net income for the third quarter of $1.3 billion, or 31 cents per share, was down $359 million, or 10 cents per share, compared with a year ago due to pre-tax special item charges of $498 million. Special item charges included $250 million for separation-related actions, primarily in Europe to support the company’s transformation plan, and $145 million associated with Ford’s U.S. salaried retiree voluntary lump sum payout program as part of the company’s pension de-risking strategy.
Automotive operating-related cash flow was $1.6 billion, a third quarter record, marking the 14th consecutive quarter of positive performance. The company ended the third quarter with strong liquidity of $37.5 billion, an increase of $400 million compared with the end of the second quarter of 2013.
“Ford’s record results in the third quarter show the strength of our One Ford plan around the world,” said Alan Mulally, Ford president and CEO. “Working together, we remain committed to serving customers in all markets with a full family of vehicles, offering the very best quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value.”
During the quarter, Ford contributed $1.1 billion to its global funded pension plans, which included about $700 million of discretionary payments to its U.S. funded plans as part of the company’s pension de-risking strategy.
In the third quarter, the company settled about $700 million of pension obligations related to its U.S. salaried retiree voluntary lump sum program, and has settled $3.4 billion since the program began in August 2012. The lump sum program is about 80 percent complete and concludes at the end of the year.
Dividends paid in the third quarter totaled about $400 million.

Total Automotive third quarter wholesale volume and revenue were up strongly from a year ago. The higher volume reflects higher market share in all regions, improved industry volumes in all regions except South America and favorable changes in dealer stocks in all regions. The growth in revenue primarily reflects higher volume, as well as net pricing gains in all regions.
Third quarter operating margin, at 7 percent, was seven-tenths of a percentage point better than a year ago.
First nine months volume and revenue were higher than a year ago by 14 percent and 13 percent, respectively.
“North America continues to achieve strong profits and we saw significantly improved results outside North America,” said Bob Shanks, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “We substantially reduced our losses in Europe, set a record third quarter profit in Asia Pacific Africa and saw a $150 million improvement in South America.”

For the sixth time in the last seven quarters, North America achieved a pre-tax profit of $2 billion or more and an operating margin of 10 percent or more. Third quarter pre-tax profit was about equal to last year’s record profit. Favorable market factors — volume and mix and net pricing — were offset, for the most part, by higher costs, including investment in new products.
Third quarter results were driven by a strong industry and a robust full-size pickup segment, along with Ford’s strong product lineup, U.S. market share growth, continued discipline in matching production to real demand and a lean cost structure — even as the company invests more in product and capacity for future growth.
Wholesale volume and revenue increased 13 percent and 12 percent, respectively, from a year ago. The volume improvement mainly reflects higher U.S. industry sales, favorable changes in dealer stocks and higher U.S. market share. Higher volume drove the revenue increase.
In the first nine months of the year, North America’s operating margin was 10.7 percent, five-tenths of a percentage point lower than a year ago, while pre-tax profit was about $7 billion, up about $600 million. Wholesale volume and revenue both improved 15 percent compared with 2012.
For full year 2013, Ford’s guidance for North America remains unchanged. The company continues to expect higher pre-tax profit compared with 2012 and operating margin of about 10 percent.

South America continues to execute the company’s strategy of expanding its product lineup, while progressively replacing legacy products with global One Ford offerings. The company’s new products continue to perform well. Customer response to the Ranger pickup and refreshed Fiesta remains strong, and EcoSport and Fusion continue to be segment leaders.
South America’s pre-tax profit of $159 million in the third quarter was $150 million higher compared with the prior year. Market factors more than explain the improvement.
Wholesale volume and revenue increased strongly from a year ago, both up 22 percent. The higher volume reflects increased market share and favorable changes in dealer stocks. The growth in revenue was driven by the higher volume and net pricing gains, offset partially by unfavorable exchange.
South America’s first nine months volume, revenue, operating margin and profit all improved from a year ago.
The overall environment in South America remains uncertain, but given the company’s performance in the first nine months, Ford now expects South America to be about breakeven to profitable for the full year. This is an improvement from prior guidance of about breakeven.

In the third quarter 2013, Europe remained on track in executing its transformation plan.
Europe’s third quarter pre-tax loss of $228 million was $240 million better than a year ago, with all factors favorable, except costs associated with restructuring. Europe’s results have improved sequentially in each quarter this year.
In the third quarter, wholesale volume and revenue improved from a year ago by 5 percent and 12 percent, respectively, the second consecutive quarter of year-over-year top-line improvement. The volume increase reflects higher industry sales, lower dealer stock reductions than a year ago and higher market share. The increase in Europe’s revenue mainly reflects the higher volume.
Europe’s operating margin for the first nine months was negative 5 percent and the pre-tax loss was $1 billion, both about equal to a year ago, despite about $400 million of restructuring costs incurred this year and lower industry volume. Volume and revenue were up slightly from a year ago.
The company now expects its full year loss in Europe to be less than 2012. This is an improvement from prior guidance of a loss about the same as a year ago, reflecting the progress the company is making on its Europe transformation plan.

Ford’s strategy in Asia Pacific Africa is to grow aggressively with an expanding portfolio of global One Ford products tailored for the region and with manufacturing hubs in China, India and ASEAN. Implementation of this strategy continues to gain momentum.
In the third quarter, Asia Pacific Africa reported its fifth consecutive quarterly profit with pre-tax results of $126 million, an improvement of $81 million compared with a year ago. Third quarter results reflect favorable top-line factors, offset partially by higher costs, as the company continues to invest for further growth.
In the third quarter, wholesale volume was up 35 percent from a year ago, and revenue, which excludes the company’s China joint ventures, grew 7 percent. The higher volume reflects mainly improved market share, with higher industry volume and favorable changes in dealer stock also contributing. Higher revenue primarily reflects favorable volume and mix.
Asia Pacific Africa’s third quarter market share was 3.7 percent, six-tenths of a percentage point higher than a year ago and a quarterly record. The improvement was driven by China, where Ford’s market share improved eight-tenths of a percentage point to equal last quarter’s record of 4.3 percent, reflecting mainly strong sales of the Kuga, EcoSport and Focus.
For the first nine months, volume, revenue, operating margin and profit all improved from a year ago.
Ford’s guidance for Asia Pacific Africa is unchanged. The region is expected to be profitable for the full year.

Other Automotive
The third quarter loss of $139 million in Other Automotive reflects net interest expense, offset partially by a favorable fair market value adjustment on the company’s investment in Mazda.
For the full year, Ford now expects net interest expense to be at the lower end of its prior guidance of $800 million to $850 million.

Ford Motor Credit Company
Ford Credit’s third quarter profit of $427 million improved $34 million from a year ago, more than explained by higher volume in North America. The drivers of higher volume were an increase in leasing, reflecting changes in Ford’s marketing programs, as well as higher non-consumer finance receivables due to higher dealer stocks.
Ford Credit remains key to Ford’s global growth strategy, providing world-class dealer and customer financial services, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and producing solid profits and distributions.
For full year 2013, Ford Credit continues to expect pre-tax profit to be about equal to 2012. Ford Credit now expects year-end managed receivables of about $100 billion, which is within the prior range of $97 billion to $102 billion, and distributions of about $400 million, up from $200 million previously planned, reflecting a fourth quarter reduction in Ford Credit’s tax liability.
Other Financial Services
The third quarter loss of $64 million for Other Financial Services primarily reflects charges related to the sale of a portfolio of finance receivables that was not included in the company’s sale of the Volvo auto business in 2010.

The company’s third quarter operating effective tax rate was about 33 percent. The company now expects its full year operating effective tax rate to be less than 30 percent, compared with 32 percent last year. This reflects a year-to-date tax rate of about 31 percent and a fourth quarter reduction in Ford Credit’s tax liability.
Ford remains focused on delivering the key aspects of its One Ford plan, which are unchanged:
• | Aggressively restructuring to operate profitably at the current demand and changing model mix |
• | Accelerating the development of new products that customers want and value |
• | Financing the plan and improving the balance sheet |
• | Working together effectively as one team, leveraging Ford’s global assets |
“We are on track for another strong year in 2013,” Mulally said. “Our One Ford plan continues to deliver profitable growth for all of our stakeholders.”

Risk Factors
Statements included or incorporated by reference herein may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, forecasts, and assumptions by our management and involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated, including, without limitation:
• | Decline in industry sales volume, particularly in the United States or Europe, due to financial crisis, recession, geopolitical events, or other factors; |
• | Decline in Ford’s market share or failure to achieve growth; |
• | Lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of Ford’s new or existing products; |
• | Market shift away from sales of larger, more profitable vehicles beyond Ford’s current planning assumption, particularly in the United States; |
• | An increase in or continued volatility of fuel prices, or reduced availability of fuel; |
• | Continued or increased price competition resulting from industry excess capacity, currency fluctuations, or other factors; |
• | Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates; |
• | Adverse effects resulting from economic, geopolitical, or other events; |
• | Economic distress of suppliers that may require Ford to provide substantial financial support or take other measures to ensure supplies of components or materials and could increase costs, affect liquidity, or cause production constraints or disruptions; |
• | Work stoppages at Ford or supplier facilities or other limitations on production (whether as a result of labor disputes, natural or man-made disasters, tight credit markets or other financial distress, production constraints or difficulties, or other factors); |
• | Single-source supply of components or materials; |
• | Labor or other constraints on Ford’s ability to maintain competitive cost structure; |
• | Substantial pension and postretirement health care and life insurance liabilities impairing our liquidity or financial condition; |
• | Worse-than-assumed economic and demographic experience for postretirement benefit plans (e.g., discount rates or investment returns); |
• | Restriction on use of tax attributes from tax law “ownership change;” |
• | The discovery of defects in vehicles resulting in delays in new model launches, recall campaigns, or increased warranty costs; |
• | Increased safety, emissions, fuel economy, or other regulations resulting in higher costs, cash expenditures, and/or sales restrictions; |
• | Unusual or significant litigation, governmental investigations, or adverse publicity arising out of alleged defects in products, perceived environmental impacts, or otherwise; |
• | A change in requirements under long-term supply arrangements committing Ford to purchase minimum or fixed quantities of certain parts, or to pay a minimum amount to the seller (“take-or-pay” contracts); |
• | Adverse effects on results from a decrease in or cessation or clawback of government incentives related to investments; |
• | Inherent limitations of internal controls impacting financial statements and safeguarding of assets; |
• | Cybersecurity risks to operational systems, security systems, or infrastructure owned by Ford, Ford Credit, or a third-party vendor or supplier; |
• | Failure of financial institutions to fulfill commitments under committed credit and liquidity facilities; |
• | Inability of Ford Credit to access debt, securitization, or derivative markets around the world at competitive rates or in sufficient amounts, due to credit rating downgrades, market volatility, market disruption, regulatory requirements, or other factors; |
• | Higher-than-expected credit losses, lower-than-anticipated residual values, or higher-than-expected return volumes for leased vehicles; |
• | Increased competition from banks or other financial institutions seeking to increase their share of financing Ford vehicles; and |
• | New or increased credit, consumer, or data protection or other regulations resulting in higher costs and/or additional financing restrictions. |
We cannot be certain that any expectation, forecast, or assumption made in preparing forward-looking statements will prove accurate, or that any projection will be realized. It is to be expected that there may be differences between projected and actual results. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of their initial issuance, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. For additional discussion, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as updated by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
