NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. PRESENTATION

For purposes of this report, “Ford,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar references mean Ford Motor Company, our consolidated subsidiaries, and our consolidated VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary, unless the context requires otherwise. Our financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements reflect a fair statement of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods, and at the dates, presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. Reference should be made to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“2016 Form 10-K Report”). We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. On January 1, 2017, we adopted the amendments to accounting standards codification (“ASC”) 718 which simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions. Prior to this amendment, excess tax benefits resulting from the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation costs recognized for financial reporting were not recognized until the deduction reduced taxes payable. Under the new method, we will recognize excess tax benefits in the current accounting period. In addition, prior to January 1, 2017, the employee share-based compensation expense was recorded net of estimated forfeiture rates and adjusted at vest, as appropriate. As part of the amendment, we have elected to recognize the actual forfeitures by reducing the employee share-based compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur. We have adopted these changes in accounting method using the modified retrospective method by recognizing one-time adjustments to retained earnings for excess tax benefits previously unrecognized and the change in accounting for forfeited awards.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On January 1, 2017, we adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We expect the impact of the adoption of the new standard to be immaterial to our net income on an ongoing basis.

A majority of our sales revenue continues to be recognized when products are shipped from our manufacturing facilities. Under the new revenue standard, certain vehicle sales where revenue was previously deferred, such as vehicles subject to a guaranteed resale value recognized as a lease and transactions in which a Ford-owned entity delivered vehicles, we now recognize revenue when vehicles are shipped.

The new revenue standard also provided additional clarity that resulted in reclassifications to or from Revenue, Cost of sales, and Financial Services other income/(loss), net.

NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (Continued)

ASU 2017-07, Retirement Benefits - Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. On January 1, 2017, we adopted the amendments to ASC 715 that improve the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs. We retrospectively adopted the presentation of service cost separate from the other components of net periodic costs. The interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service costs, net remeasurement, and other costs have been reclassified from Cost of Sales and Selling, administrative, and other expenses to Non-Financial Services other income/(loss), net. We elected to apply the practical expedient which allows us to reclassify amounts disclosed previously in the retirement benefits note as the basis for applying retrospective presentation for comparative periods as it is impracticable to determine the disaggregation of the cost components for amounts capitalized and amortized in those periods. On a prospective basis, the other components of net periodic benefit costs will not be included in amounts capitalized in inventory or property, plant, and equipment.

The effect of the retrospective presentation change related to the net periodic cost of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement employee benefits (“OPEB”) plans on our consolidated income statement was as follows (in millions):



	For the period ended March 31, 2016
	As Revised		Previously Reported		Effect of Change Higher/(Lower)

We also adopted the following standards during 2017, none of which had a material impact to our financial statements or financial statement disclosures:

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

The following represent the standards that will, or are expected to, result in a significant change in practice and/or have a significant financial impact to Ford.

ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard which replaces the current incurred loss impairment method with a method that reflects expected credit losses. The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted as of January 1, 2019. We are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and disclosures.

ASU 2016-02, Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases. The new standard supersedes the present U.S. GAAP standard on leases and requires substantially all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as well as additional disclosures. The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the transfer of control of our vehicles, parts, accessories, or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with our base warranties and field service actions continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold (see Note 16). We recognize revenue for vehicle service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance beyond our base warranties over the life of the contract.

Automotive Segment

Vehicles, Parts, and Accessories. For the majority of vehicles, parts, and accessories, we transfer control and recognize a sale when we ship the product from our manufacturing facility to our customer (dealers and distributors). The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in marketing incentives and returns we offer to our customers and their customers. When we give our dealers the right to return eligible parts and accessories, we estimate the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. As a result we recognized a decrease to revenue from prior periods of $372 million during the period ended March 31, 2017.

Depending on the terms of the arrangement, we may also defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because we have to satisfy a future obligation (e.g., free extended service contracts). We use an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations or a cost plus margin approach when one is not available. We have elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over vehicles, parts, or accessories have transferred to the customer as an expense in Cost of sales.

NOTE 3. REVENUE (Continued)

We sell vehicles to daily rental companies and guarantee that we will pay them the difference between an agreed amount and the value they are able to realize upon resale. At the time of transfer of vehicles to the daily rental companies, we record the probable amount we will pay under the guarantee to Other liabilities and deferred revenue.

Sale of Used Vehicles. We sell used vehicles both at auction and through our consolidated dealerships. Proceeds from the sale of these vehicles are recognized in Automotive revenues upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer and the related vehicle carrying value is recognized in Cost of sales.

Extended Service Contracts. We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners. The separately priced service contracts range from 12 months to 120 months. We receive payment at the inception of the contract and recognize revenue over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. At January 1, 2017 $3.5 billion of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in Other Liabilities and deferred revenue, $270 million of this was recognized as revenue during the first quarter. At March 31, 2017, the unearned amount was $3.6 billion. We expect to recognize approximately $823 million of the unearned amount in 2017, $981 million in 2018, and $1.8 billion thereafter. We record a premium deficiency reserve to the extent we estimate the future costs associated with these contracts exceed the unrecognized revenue. Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets. These costs are amortized to expense consistent with how the related revenue is recognized. We had a balance of $247 million in deferred costs as of March 31, 2017 and recognized $15 million of amortization during the three-month period ended March 31, 2017.

Other Revenue. Other revenue consists primarily of net commissions received for serving as the agent in facilitating the sale of a third party’s products or services to our customers and payments for vehicle-related design and testing services we perform for others. We have applied the practical expedient to recognize Automotive revenues for vehicle-related design and testing services over the two to three year term of these agreements in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice.

Leasing Income. We sell vehicles to daily rental companies with an obligation to repurchase the vehicles for a guaranteed amount, exercisable at the option of the customer. The transactions are accounted for as operating leases. Upon the transfer of vehicles to the daily rental companies, we record proceeds received in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. The difference between the proceeds received and the guaranteed repurchase amount is recorded in Automotive revenues over the term of the lease using a straight-line method. The cost of the vehicle is recorded in Net investment in operating leases on our consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the cost of the vehicle and the estimated auction value is depreciated in Cost of sales over the term of the lease.

Financial Services Segment

Leasing Income. Ford Credit offers leasing plans to retail consumers through Ford and Lincoln brand dealers who originate the leases. Upon the purchase of a lease from the dealer, Ford Credit takes ownership of the vehicle and records an operating lease. The retail consumer makes lease payments representing the difference between Ford Credit’s purchase price of the vehicle and the contractual residual value of the vehicle, plus lease fees that we recognize on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement. Depreciation and the gain or loss upon disposition of the vehicle is recorded in Financial Services interest, operating, and other expenses.

Financing Income. Ford Credit originates and purchases finance installment contracts. Financing income represents interest earned on the finance receivables (including direct financing leases). Interest is recognized using the interest method, and includes the amortization of certain direct origination costs.

Insurance Income. Income from insurance contracts is recognized evenly over the term of the agreement. Insurance commission revenue is recognized on a net basis at the time of sale of the third party’s product or service to our customer.

The fair value of finance receivables is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Excluded from finance receivables at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, was $223 million and $219 million, respectively, of accrued uncollected interest, which is reported as Other assets in the current assets section of our consolidated balance sheet.

Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 were consumer receivables of $32.5 billion and $33.4 billion, respectively, and non-consumer receivables of $26 billion and $26.4 billion, respectively, that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. The receivables are available only for payment of the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions; they are not available to pay the other obligations or the claims of Ford Credit’s other creditors. Ford Credit holds the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions.

Aging

For all finance receivables, we define “past due” as any payment, including principal and interest, that is at least 31 days past the contractual due date. The recorded investment of consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was $21 million and $18 million at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was de minimis at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017.

Credit Quality

Consumer Portfolio. Credit quality ratings for consumer receivables are based on aging. Refer to the aging table above.

Consumer receivables credit quality ratings are as follows:


•	Pass – current to 60 days past due


•	Special Mention – 61 to 120 days past due and in intensified collection status


•	Substandard – greater than 120 days past due and for which the uncollectible portion of the receivables has already been charged off, as measured using the fair value of collateral less costs to sell

Non-Consumer Portfolio. Dealers are assigned to one of four groups according to risk ratings as follows:


•	Group I – strong to superior financial metrics


•	Group II – fair to favorable financial metrics


•	Group III – marginal to weak financial metrics


•	Group IV – poor financial metrics, including dealers classified as uncollectible

Impaired non-consumer receivables represent accounts with dealers that have weak or poor financial metrics or dealer financing that has been modified in TDRs. The recorded investment of consumer receivables that were impaired at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 was $367 million, or 0.6% of consumer receivables, and $385 million, or 0.6% of consumer receivables, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 was $107 million, or 0.3% of non-consumer receivables, and $164 million, or 0.5% of non-consumer receivables, respectively.

Pension Plan Contributions

During 2017, we expect to contribute about $1 billion from cash and cash equivalents to our worldwide funded pension plans (most of which are mandatory), and to make about $300 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans, for a total of about $1.3 billion. In the first three months of 2017, we contributed about $200 million to our worldwide funded pension plans and made about $100 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans.

NOTE 14. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, certain commodity prices, and interest rates. To manage these risks, we enter into highly effective derivative contracts. We have elected to apply hedge accounting to certain derivatives. Derivatives that are designated in hedging relationships are evaluated for effectiveness using regression analysis at the time they are designated and throughout the hedge period. Some derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting; for others, we elect not to apply hedge accounting.

Income Effect of Derivative Financial Instruments

The gains/(losses), by hedge designation, recorded in income for the periods ended March 31 were as follows (in millions):

(a)	For the first quarter of 2016 and 2017, a $363 million gain and a $112 million loss, respectively, were recorded in Other comprehensive income.


(b)	For the first quarter of 2016 and 2017, hedge ineffectiveness reflects the net change in fair value on derivatives of $610 million gain and$89 million loss, respectively, and a change in value on hedged debt attributable to the change in benchmark interest rates of $593 million loss and $85 million gain, respectively.

Balance Sheet Effect of Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative assets and liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are presented on a gross basis. The notional amounts of the derivative instruments do not necessarily represent amounts exchanged by the parties and are not a direct measure of our financial exposure. We also enter into master agreements with counterparties that may allow for netting of exposures in the event of default or breach of the counterparty agreement. Collateral represents cash received or paid under reciprocal arrangements that we have entered into with our derivative counterparties which we do not use to offset our derivative assets and liabilities.

The fair value of our derivative instruments and the associated notional amounts, presented gross, were as follows (in millions):

FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and contingencies primarily consist of guarantees and indemnifications, litigation and claims, and warranty.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

The maximum potential payments and the carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities were as follows (in millions):



	December 31, 2016		March 31, 2017
Maximum potential payments	$	177	$	1,373
Carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities	23		396

Guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. We regularly review our performance risk under these arrangements, and in the event it becomes probable we will be required to perform under guarantee or indemnity, the amount of probable payment is recorded.

We guarantee the resale value of vehicles sold in certain arrangements to daily rental companies. The maximum potential payment of $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2017 included in the table above represents the total proceeds we guarantee the rental company will receive on re-sale. Reflecting our present estimate of proceeds the rental companies will receive on resale from third parties, we have recorded $374 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee. See Note 2 for additional information on the adoption of the new revenue standard.

We also guarantee debt and lease obligations of certain joint ventures, as well as certain financial obligations of outside third parties, including suppliers, to support our business and economic growth. Expiration dates vary through 2033, and guarantees will terminate on payment and/or cancellation of the underlying obligation. A payment by us would be triggered by failure of the joint venture or other third party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee. In some circumstances, we are entitled to recover from a third party amounts paid by us under the guarantee. However, our ability to enforce these rights is sometimes stayed until the guaranteed party is paid in full, and may be limited in the event of insolvency of the third party or other circumstances.

In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction, such as the sale of a business. These indemnifications might include and are not limited to claims relating to any of the following: environmental, tax, and shareholder matters; intellectual property rights; power generation contracts; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; dealer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters, such as securitizations. Performance under these indemnities generally would be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. While some of these indemnifications are limited in nature, many of them do not limit potential payment. Therefore, we are unable to estimate a maximum amount of future payments that could result from claims made under these unlimited indemnities.

Litigation and Claims

Various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (generally, “matters”) are pending or may be instituted or asserted against us. These include but are not limited to matters arising out of alleged defects in our products; product warranties; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions, and fuel economy or other matters; government incentives; tax matters; alleged illegal acts resulting in fines or penalties; financial services; employment-related matters; dealer, supplier, and other contractual relationships; intellectual property rights; environmental matters; shareholder or investor matters; and financial reporting matters. Certain of the pending legal actions are, or purport to be, class actions. Some of the matters involve or may involve claims for compensatory, punitive, or antitrust or other treble damages in very large amounts, or demands for field service actions, environmental remediation programs, sanctions, loss of government incentives, assessments, or other relief, which, if granted, would require very large expenditures.

The extent of our financial exposure to these matters is difficult to estimate. Many matters do not specify a dollar amount for damages, and many others specify only a jurisdictional minimum. To the extent an amount is asserted, our historical experience suggests that in most instances the amount asserted is not a reliable indicator of the ultimate outcome.

Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)

FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

We accrue for matters when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood that we will prevail, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time.

For the majority of matters, which generally arise out of alleged defects in our products, we establish an accrual based on our extensive historical experience with similar matters. We do not believe there is a reasonably possible outcome materially in excess of our accrual for these matters.

For the remaining matters, where our historical experience with similar matters is of more limited value (i.e., “non-pattern matters”), we evaluate the matters primarily based on the individual facts and circumstances. For non-pattern matters, we evaluate whether there is a reasonable possibility of a material loss in excess of any accrual that can be estimated. Our estimate of reasonably possible loss in excess of our accruals for all material matters currently reflects indirect tax and customs matters, for which we estimate the aggregate risk to be a range of up to about $2.8 billion.

As noted, the litigation process is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of individual matters is not predictable with assurance. Our assessments are based on our knowledge and experience, but the ultimate outcome of any matter could require payment substantially in excess of the amount that we have accrued and/or disclosed.

Warranty and Field Service Actions

We accrue obligations for warranty costs and field service actions (i.e., safety recalls, emission recalls, and other product campaigns) at the time of sale using a patterned estimation model that includes historical information regarding the nature, frequency, and average cost of claims for each vehicle line by model year. Warranty and field service action obligations are reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. We reevaluate the adequacy of our accruals on a regular basis.

We recognize the benefit from a recovery of the costs associated with our warranty and field service actions when specifics of the recovery have been agreed with our supplier and the amount of the recovery is virtually certain. Recoveries are reported in Trade and other receivables and Other assets.

The estimate of our future warranty and field service action costs, net of supplier recoveries, for the periods ended March 31 were as follows (in millions):



	First Quarter
	2016			2017
Beginning balance	$	4,558		$	4,960

Changes in accrual related to pre-existing warranties	59			475

Ending balance	$	4,484		$	5,237

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Ford Motor Company

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Ford Motor Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the consolidated statement of equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 9, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW

Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures

We use both generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial measures for operational and financial decision making, and to assess Company and segment business performance. The non-GAAP measures listed below are intended to be considered by users as supplemental information to their equivalent GAAP measures, to aid investors in better understanding our financial results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful perspective on underlying business results and trends, and a means to assess our period-over-period results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in items or events being adjusted.

•

Total Company Adjusted Pre-tax Profit (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Income Attributable to Ford) – The non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate our pre-tax results excluding pre-tax special items. Pre-tax special items consist of (i) pension and other postretirement employee benefits (“OPEB”) remeasurement gains and losses that are not reflective of our underlying business results, (ii) significant restructuring actions related to our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, and (iii) other items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities. When we provide guidance for adjusted pre-tax profit, 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 prior to year-end, specifically pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses.

•

Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Earnings Per Share) – Measure of Company’s diluted net earnings per share adjusted for impact of pre-tax special items (described above) and tax special items. The measure provides investors with useful information to evaluate performance of our business excluding items not indicative of the underlying run rate of our business. When we provide guidance for adjusted earnings per share, we do not provide guidance on an earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, specifically pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses.

•

Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Effective Tax Rate) – Measure of Company’s tax rate excluding pre-tax special items (described above) and tax special items. The measure provides an ongoing effective rate which investors find useful for historical comparisons and for forecasting. When we provide guidance for adjusted effective tax rate, we do not provide guidance on an effective tax rate basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, specifically pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses.

•

Ford Credit Managed Receivables (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Finance Receivables plus Net Investment in Operating Leases) – Measure of Ford Credit’s total net receivables, excluding unearned interest supplements and residual support, allowance for credit losses, and other (primarily accumulated supplemental depreciation). The measure is useful to management and investors as it closely approximates the customer’s outstanding balance on the receivables, which is the basis for earning revenue.

•

Ford Credit Managed Leverage (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Financial Statement Leverage) – Ford Credit’s debt-to-equity ratio adjusted (i) to exclude cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (other than amounts related to insurance activities), and (ii) for derivative accounting. The measure is useful to investors because it reflects the way Ford Credit manages its business. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are deducted because they generally correspond to excess debt beyond the amount required to support operations and on-balance sheet securitization transactions. Derivative accounting adjustments are made to asset, debt, and equity positions to reflect the impact of interest rate instruments used with Ford Credit’s term-debt issuances and securitization transactions. Ford Credit generally repays its debt obligations as they mature, so the interim effects of changes in market interest rates are excluded in the calculation of managed leverage.

Our total Company adjusted pre-tax profit for the first quarter of 2017 was $2.2 billion, or $0.39 of adjusted earnings per share of Common and Class B Stock, a decrease of $1.6 billion or $0.29 per share compared with the first quarter of 2016.

Our Automotive segment pre-tax profit in the quarter was about $2 billion.

Our Financial Services segment pre-tax profit in the quarter was $466 million, which included a pre-tax profit of $481 million for Ford Credit.

The loss of $212 million in All Other was largely net interest expense.

As shown below the chart, results in all of our segments were lower than a year ago, consistent with our expectations, with the decline in our Automotive segment the key driver of our lower total Company adjusted pre-tax profit.

AUTOMOTIVE SEGMENT

In general, we measure year-over-year change in Automotive segment pre-tax results using the causal factors listed below, with net pricing and cost variances calculated at present-year volume and mix and exchange:


•	Market Factors:


◦	Volume and Mix – primarily measures profit variance from changes in wholesale volumes (at prior-year average contribution margin per unit) driven by changes in industry volume, market share, and dealer stocks, as well as the profit variance resulting from changes in product mix, including mix among vehicle lines and mix of trim levels and options within a vehicle line


◦	Net Pricing – primarily measures profit variance driven by changes in wholesale prices to dealers and marketing incentive programs such as rebate programs, low-rate financing offers, special lease offers, and stock adjustments on dealer inventory


•	Contribution Costs – primarily measures profit variance driven by per-unit changes in cost categories that typically vary with volume, such as material costs (including commodity and component costs), warranty expense, and freight and duty costs


•	Structural Costs – primarily measures profit variance driven by absolute change in cost categories that typically do not have a directly proportionate relationship to production volume. Structural costs include the following cost categories:


◦	Manufacturing, Including Volume Related – consists primarily of costs for hourly and salaried manufacturing personnel, plant overhead (such as utilities and taxes), and new product launch expense. These costs could be affected by volume for operating pattern actions such as overtime, line-speed, and shift schedules


◦	Engineering – consists primarily of costs for engineering personnel, prototype materials, testing, and outside engineering services


◦	Spending-Related – consists primarily of depreciation and amortization of our manufacturing and engineering assets, but also includes asset retirements and operating leases


◦	Advertising and Sales Promotions – includes costs for advertising, marketing programs, brand promotions, customer mailings and promotional events, and auto shows


◦	Administrative and Selling – includes primarily costs for salaried personnel and purchased services related to our staff activities and selling functions, as well as associated information technology costs


◦	Pension and OPEB – consists primarily of past service pension costs and other postretirement employee benefit costs

•

Exchange – primarily measures profit variance driven by one or more of the following: (i) transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the relevant entities, (ii) effects of converting functional currency income to U.S. dollars, (iii) effects of remeasuring monetary assets and liabilities of the relevant entities in currencies other than their functional currency, or (iv) results of our foreign currency hedging


•	Other – includes a variety of items, such as parts and services profits, royalties, government incentives and compensation-related changes

In addition, definitions and calculations used in this report include:

•

Wholesales and Revenue – wholesale unit volumes include all Ford and Lincoln badged units (whether produced by Ford or by an unconsolidated affiliate) that are sold to dealerships, units manufactured by Ford that are sold to other manufacturers, units distributed by Ford for other manufacturers, and local brand units produced by our China joint venture, Jiangling Motors Corporation, Ltd. (“JMC”), that are sold to dealerships. Vehicles sold to daily rental car companies that are subject to a guaranteed repurchase option (i.e., rental repurchase), as well as other sales of finished vehicles for which the recognition of revenue is deferred (e.g., consignments), also are included in wholesale unit volumes. Revenue from certain vehicles in wholesale unit volumes (specifically, Ford badged vehicles produced and distributed by our unconsolidated affiliates, as well as JMC brand vehicles) are not included in our revenue


•	Automotive Segment Operating Margin – defined as Automotive segment pre-tax profit divided by Automotive segment revenue

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


•	Industry Volume and Market Share – based, in part, on estimated vehicle registrations; includes medium and heavy duty trucks


•	Automotive Cash – includes cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities


•	SAAR – seasonally adjusted annual rate

References to Automotive records for operating cash flow, operating margin, and business units are since at least 2000.

The charts on the following pages detail first quarter 2017 key metrics and the change in first quarter 2017 pre-tax results compared with first quarter 2016 by causal factor for our Automotive segment and its business units — North America, South America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific.

Our first quarter 2017 Automotive pre-tax results by business unit are shown above. Automotive results were driven by North America with Europe and Asia Pacific also profitable. Our operations outside North America were about breakeven.

As shown below the chart, results for the first quarter of 2017 in all of our business units, except South America, were lower compared with the first quarter of 2016, with North America the key factor for the lower Automotive pre-tax profit.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Shown above are the key market factors and financial metrics for our Automotive segment in the first quarter of 2017. All key metrics, excluding revenue, declined from a year ago. Wholesale volumes were down slightly, while Automotive revenue was up 3% driven by favorable mix in North America and Europe.

Global industry SAAR in the first quarter of 2017 was estimated at 88.9 million units, about flat from a year ago.

Global market share, at 7.1%, was down three-tenths of a percentage point driven by lower market share in Asia Pacific and North America. Our market share was higher in Europe and South America.

Automotive operating margin and pre-tax profit, at 5.4% and $2 billion, respectively, were both lower than our all-time record quarter a year ago.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Shown above are the factors that contributed to the $1.5 billion decline in first quarter 2017 Automotive segment pre-tax profit. The lower profit is explained by higher cost, lower volume, and adverse exchange, offset partially by favorable mix.

The higher cost was driven by warranty, including recalls, engineering as we continue to invest in new products and emerging opportunities, product costs net of material cost efficiencies, and commodities.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Shown above are the first quarter 2017 key metrics for North America. All metrics, excluding revenue, were lower in the quarter compared with the first quarter of 2016.

Wholesale volume was down 5%, and revenue was up 1%. Within revenue, mix was favorable and net pricing was higher, but these factors were about offset by lower volume. The lower wholesales were driven by lower market share, a lower dealer stock build this quarter compared to the stock build in the first quarter a year ago, and lower industry volume.

The North America SAAR, at 21.3 million units, and the U.S. SAAR, at 17.4 million units, were both down 300,000 units from a year ago. The U.S. decline was due to lower fleet sales.

Our North America market share was down five-tenths of a percentage point, with U.S. share down four-tenths of a percentage point to 15.1%; this was driven, as expected, by lower fleet sales. U.S. retail share was up two-tenths of a percentage point, reflecting higher share in trucks, utilities, and Lincoln.

Operating margin was 8.3%, and pre-tax profit was $2 billion, both solid but lower than the quarterly record set a year ago.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

As shown above, North America’s first quarter 2017 pre-tax profit was $1.1 billion lower than a year ago driven by higher cost and lower volume. Favorable mix, mainly F-Series, and higher net pricing were partial offsets.

The higher cost reflects warranty, including recalls, engineering as we continue to invest in new products and emerging opportunities, product costs net of material cost efficiencies, reflecting primarily the impact of our first major refresh of the Super Duty, and commodities.

For 2017, we continue to expect our North America operating margin and pre-tax profit to be strong but lower than 2016, mainly due to higher cost. This is due to commodities and investments in emerging opportunities, offset partially by net efficiencies across all other remaining cost categories. Exchange is also expected to be unfavorable.

We expect the majority of North America’s full year profit decline and increase in cost to have occurred in the first quarter.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Our average transaction prices in the first quarter grew nearly four times faster than the industry due to the great performance of F-Series and continued growth of Lincoln. In addition, as with F-150, we reinvested some of the Super Duty aluminum weight savings into capability and features our customers appreciate and, importantly, are willing to pay for. We also saw F-150 transaction prices increase with strong demand for the new Raptor.

We also continued our disciplined approach to incentives. While incentives grew for the industry, Ford levels were relatively flat as we managed supply and demand well and benefited from the strength of our new products.

Our U.S. stocks are in good shape and we continue to take a disciplined approach to matching supply to demand.

Ford’s days supply tends to be slightly higher than industry average because of our stronger position in trucks due to the larger number of product configurations, a Ford strength.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

In South America, all first quarter 2017 key metrics improved from a year ago. This was our second consecutive quarter of improvement across the board.

Wholesales were up 11% due to higher industry and market share. Revenue was up 29%, reflecting the higher volume and pricing, along with favorable exchange.

Industry SAAR for the region, at 3.8 million units, was up 3%, or 100,000 units. Brazil SAAR, on the other hand, was down 200,000 units. In March, however, Brazil SAAR improved for the first time in 24 months.

Our market share for the region, at 9.0%, was up six-tenths of a percentage point due to strong sales of Ka, our subcompact, and Ranger.

Operating margin and pre-tax results for the region both improved from a year ago.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

As shown above, South America’s first quarter 2017 pre-tax result improved $12 million compared with a year ago due to higher net pricing and volume. This was offset, in part, by the effects of high local inflation on cost and adverse currency movement.

Our team is continuing to work to further improve South America’s cost structure and grow revenue. Importantly, we are seeing signs of stabilization in incoming economic data, and the Central Bank of Brazil has been cutting its policy rate at a fast pace, suggesting we may be close to the trough of the current economic cycle.

For 2017, we continue to expect South America’s loss to improve from last year as a result of favorable market factors as the economy begins to recover. We expect most of the full year year-over-year improvement to occur in the second half.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Shown above are the first quarter 2017 key metrics for Europe. The top-line improved, with wholesale volume up 13% and revenue up 10%, or 22% at constant exchange. The higher volume was driven by higher industry, an increase in dealer stocks this quarter compared to a reduction a year ago, and higher market share. The higher revenue was driven by the volume increase and favorable mix.

Europe SAAR, at 20.5 million units, was 2% higher than a year ago. Market share, at 8.1%, was up two-tenths of a percentage point from a year ago, driven by Kuga and commercial vehicles. Ford remained Europe’s best-selling commercial vehicle brand in the first quarter of 2017.

Europe’s operating margin was 2.3%, down 4.0 percentage points, and pre-tax profit was $176 million, down $258 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

The first quarter of 2017 represented our eighth consecutive profitable quarter in Europe. Europe’s pre-tax profit, however, was $258 million lower than a year ago. This was driven by higher cost and the weaker Sterling resulting from Brexit. Cost was up due to a major recall, along with manufacturing -- mainly volume-related increases -- and the launch of the all-new Fiesta.

Europe continued to deliver higher volume and favorable mix, which was offset partially by lower net pricing. Although not shown, results in Russia continued to improve from a year ago.

For 2017, we continue to expect Europe to remain profitable, although at levels below 2016. This is due mainly to weaker Sterling resulting from Brexit, higher cost associated with the launch of Fiesta and EcoSport, and continued investment for future growth. Favorable market factors and continued improvement in Russia will be a partial offset.

The majority of the full year profit decline from 2016 is expected to occur in the first half of the year due to cost and stock effects related to the Fiesta launch and the major recall in the first quarter.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Shown above are key metrics for the Middle East & Africa region for the first quarter of 2017, where all first quarter key metrics were lower than a year ago.

The top-line was down due to lower wholesale volume. This largely reflects stock adjustments in Saudi Arabia for market performance and lower industry.

Industry SAAR for the region, at 3.7 million units, was down 100,000 units from 2016. Within this, the markets where we participate declined 300,000 units.

Our market share was 3.8%, down eight-tenths of a percentage point. In markets where we participate, our share declined five-tenths of a percentage point, mostly reflecting performance in the Middle East.

Middle East & Africa operating margin and pre-tax results were down, reflecting the lower volume.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

As shown above, Middle East & Africa’s first quarter 2017 pre-tax loss was $80 million, down $66 million from a year ago, driven by lower volume, reflecting market performance and lower industry volume in the Middle East.

For 2017, we continue to expect results in Middle East & Africa to improve compared to 2016 due to lower cost and favorable exchange, with lower volume a partial offset. The year-over-year improvement is expected to be realized in the second half of the year.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Asia Pacific’s first quarter 2017 key metrics are shown above, where results in China drove the changes from last year, except for revenue. Wholesale volume decreased by 4%, driven by lower market share and industry volume in

China. Revenue from consolidated operations increased by 18%, reflecting the strength of our full line-up of SUVs and continued growth of Lincoln.

Asia Pacific SAAR was 39.5 million units, down 500,000 units, more than explained by a 1.6-million unit decrease in China SAAR, estimated at 23.4 million units. This reflects the pull-ahead of sales into the fourth quarter of 2016 as the government purchase tax incentive for vehicles with engine displacements of 1.6 liters or lower was set to expire. We anticipate the impact of the pull-ahead will ease beginning in the second quarter, supporting our full year 2017 industry outlook of 28.2 million units.

Our Asia Pacific market share was 3.4%, down four-tenths of a percentage point, with China share decreasing six-tenths of a percentage point to 4.4%. This was due to lower sales of vehicles with engine displacement of 1.6 liters or lower. First quarter 2017 sales of vehicles that did not benefit from the tax incentive, including Mustang, Edge, Explorer, Everest, and Lincoln brand vehicles, were a partial offset, up 21% compared to a year ago.

Our Asia Pacific operating margin was 3.9% and pre-tax profit was $124 million, both down from a year ago.

In the quarter, our China joint ventures contributed $274 million to pre-tax profit, reflecting our equity share of the JVs’ after-tax earnings; this was $169 million lower than last year. Net income margin was 13%, down 3.4 percentage points. The decline reflects lower volume, negative industry pricing, and higher mix of vehicles with engine displacement of 1.6 liters or lower.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

As shown above, Asia Pacific’s first quarter 2017 pre-tax profit was $96 million lower than a year ago, reflecting negative industry pricing in China, lower volume, reflecting the payback in China from a strong fourth quarter in 2016, and adverse exchange effects, mainly a weaker China RMB. Cost was about flat.

Our results in markets outside of China improved compared to a year ago, particularly in ASEAN and Australia. All major markets were profitable except India, where the loss improved from a year ago.

For 2017, we continue to expect Asia Pacific’s pre-tax profit to improve from 2016 due to higher volume. We expect cost to be about flat. Net pricing will be lower due to negative industry pricing in China, while exchange is expected to be unfavorable because of a weaker RMB.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

FINANCIAL SERVICES SEGMENT

In general, we measure year-over-year changes in Ford Credit’s pre-tax results using the causal factors listed below:


•	Volume and Mix:

◦

Volume primarily measures changes in net financing margin driven by changes in average managed receivables at prior period financing margin yield (defined below in financing margin) at prior period exchange rates. Volume changes are primarily driven by the volume of new and used vehicle sales and leases, the extent to which Ford Credit purchases retail installment sale and lease contracts, the extent to which Ford Credit provides wholesale financing, the sales price of the vehicles financed, the level of dealer inventories, Ford-sponsored special financing programs available exclusively through Ford Credit, and the availability of cost-effective funding for the purchase of retail installment sale and lease contracts and to provide wholesale financing


◦	Mix primarily measures changes in net financing margin driven by period over period changes in the composition of Ford Credit’s average managed receivables by product and by country or region

•Financing Margin:

◦

Financing margin variance is the period-to-period change in financing margin yield multiplied by the present period average managed receivables at prior period exchange rates. This calculation is performed at the product and country level and then aggregated. Financing margin yield equals revenue, less interest expense and scheduled depreciation for the period, divided by average managed receivables for the same period


◦	Financing margin changes are driven by changes in revenue and interest expense. Changes in revenue are primarily driven by the level of market interest rates, cost assumptions in pricing, mix of business, and competitive environment. Changes in interest expense are primarily driven by the level of market interest rates, borrowing spreads, and asset-liability management


•	Credit Loss:


◦	Credit loss is the change in the provision for credit losses at prior period exchange rates. For analysis purposes, management splits the provision for credit losses into net charge-offs and the change in the allowance for credit losses

◦

Net charge-off changes are primarily driven by the number of repossessions, severity per repossession, and recoveries. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are primarily driven by changes in historical trends in credit losses and recoveries, changes in the composition and size of Ford Credit’s present portfolio, changes in trends in historical used vehicle values, and changes in economic conditions. For additional information on the allowance for credit losses, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2016 Form 10-K Report


•	Lease Residual:


◦	Lease residual measures changes to residual performance at prior period exchange rates. For analysis purposes, management splits residual performance primarily into residual gains and losses, and the change in accumulated supplemental depreciation

◦

Residual gain and loss changes are primarily driven by the number of vehicles returned to Ford Credit and sold, and the difference between the auction value and the depreciated value (which includes both base and accumulated supplemental depreciation) of the vehicles sold. Changes in accumulated supplemental depreciation are primarily driven by changes in Ford Credit’s estimate of the expected auction value at the end of the lease term, and changes in the estimate of the number of vehicles that will be returned to it and sold. For additional information on accumulated supplemental depreciation, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates - Accumulated Depreciation on Vehicles Subject to Operating Leases” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2016 Form 10-K Report


•	Exchange:


◦	Reflects changes in pre-tax results driven by the effects of converting functional currency income to U.S. dollars


•	Other:


◦	Primarily includes operating expenses, other revenue, and insurance expenses at prior period exchange rates


◦	Changes in operating expenses are primarily driven by salaried personnel costs, facilities costs, and costs associated with the origination and servicing of customer contracts


◦	In general, other revenue changes are primarily driven by changes in earnings related to market valuation adjustments to derivatives (primarily related to movements in interest rates) and other miscellaneous items

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

In addition, the following definitions and calculations apply to Ford Credit when used in this report:


•	Cash (as shown on the Funding Structure, Liquidity Sources, and Leverage charts) – Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, excluding amounts related to insurance activities


•	Securitizations (as shown on the Public Term Funding Plan chart) – Public securitizations, Rule 144A offerings sponsored by Ford Motor Credit, and widely distributed offerings by Ford Credit Canada


•	Term Asset-Backed Securities (as shown on the Funding Structure chart) – Obligations issued in securitization transactions that are payable only out of collections on the underlying securitized assets and related enhancements

•

Total Debt (as shown on the Leverage chart) – Debt on Ford Credit’s balance sheet. Includes debt issued in securitizations and payable only out of collections on the underlying securitized assets and related enhancements. Ford Credit holds the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions

The charts on the following pages detail first quarter 2017 key metrics and the change in first quarter 2017 pre-tax results compared with first quarter 2016 by causal factor for Ford Credit.

In the first quarter of 2017, Ford Credit’s receivables were higher than a year ago, while pre-tax profit was lower, as expected. Overall, the portfolio continued to perform as expected. FICO scores remained consistent. The over-60-day delinquency ratio of 16 basis points continued to be at the low end of Ford Credit’s historical experience. The loss-to-receivables ratio of 54 basis points, up 10 basis points year over year, was below, but approaching, Ford Credit’s historical experience. Origination, servicing, and collection practices remained disciplined and consistent.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Shown above are the details of the $33 million decline in Ford Credit’s first quarter 2017 pre-tax profit. It was driven by unfavorable lease residual performance in the U.S., mainly higher supplemental depreciation in response to expected lower auction values in the lease portfolio.

The favorable volume and mix reflects primarily growth in retail receivables globally.

Ford Credit continues to expect 2017 full year pre-tax profit to be about $1.5 billion with improvement in 2018 as a result of less supplemental depreciation than in 2017.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Ford Credit continues to prudently manage its lease portfolio.

In the first quarter of 2017, lease share was down compared to the prior year and remains below the industry average. In addition, Ford Credit’s lease portfolio is smaller than major competitors.

Lease return volume in the first quarter of 2017 was up from the prior year as a result of increased leasing in the industry in recent years.

Ford Credit’s used vehicle auction values in the first quarter of 2017 were lower than a year ago but seasonally higher than the prior quarter. Auction values were down across the portfolio year-over-year, consistent with the industry.

Ford Credit’s loss metrics remain low and within our expectations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

ALL OTHER

All Other is a combination of Central Treasury Operations (formerly Other Automotive) and Ford Smart Mobility LLC, two operating segments that did not meet the quantitative thresholds in this reporting period to qualify as reportable segments.

The Central Treasury Operations segment is primarily engaged in decision making for investments, risk management activities, and providing financing for the Automotive segment. Interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment), interest expense, gains and losses on cash equivalents and marketable securities, and foreign exchange derivatives associated with intercompany lending are included in the results of Central Treasury Operations. The underlying assets and liabilities, primarily cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, debt, and derivatives, remain with the Automotive segment.

Ford Smart Mobility LLC is a subsidiary formed to design, build, grow, and invest in emerging mobility services. Designed to compete like a start-up company, Ford Smart Mobility LLC will design and build mobility services on its own, and collaborate with start-ups and tech companies.

Our first quarter 2017 All Other pre-tax results were a loss of $212 million, an $86 million greater loss compared with a year ago. This increase is explained by higher net interest expense, lower net gains on cash equivalents and marketable securities, and Ford Smart Mobility LLC.

SPECIAL ITEMS

In Note 17 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, special items are reflected as a separate reconciling item, as opposed to being allocated among the Automotive segment, Financial Services segment, and All Other. This reflects the fact that management excludes these items from its review of operating segment results for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources.

Our pre-tax and tax special items were as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

TAXES

Our tax provision in the first quarter of 2017 was $649 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.9%.

Our first quarter 2017 adjusted effective tax rate, which excludes special items, was 28.6%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Automotive Segment

Liquidity. One of our key priorities is to maintain a strong balance sheet, while at the same time having resources available to grow our core business and invest in emerging opportunities. Based on our planning assumptions, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to continue to invest in new products and services that customers want and value, transform and grow our business, pay our debts and obligations as and when they come due, pay a sustainable regular dividend at the current level, and provide protection within an uncertain global economic environment.

Our key balance sheet metrics include total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (collectively “Automotive cash”), Automotive liquidity, which includes Automotive cash and total available committed credit lines, and cash net of debt.

At March 31, 2017, we had $28 billion of Automotive cash, of which 81% was held by consolidated entities domiciled in the United States. We target to have an average ongoing Automotive cash balance of about $20 billion. We expect to have periods when we will be above or below this amount due to: (i) future cash flow expectations, such as for pension contributions, debt maturities, capital investments, investments in emerging opportunities, or restructuring requirements, (ii) short-term timing differences, and (iii) changes in the global economic environment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Our Automotive cash investments primarily include U.S. Department of Treasury obligations, federal agency securities, bank time deposits with investment-grade institutions, corporate investment-grade securities, commercial paper rated A-1/P-1 or higher, and debt obligations of a select group of non-U.S. governments, non-U.S. governmental agencies, and supranational institutions. The average maturity of these investments is approximately one year, and adjusted based on market conditions and liquidity needs. We monitor our Automotive cash levels and average maturity on a daily basis.

In addition to our target Automotive cash balance, we also target to maintain a corporate credit facility, discussed below, for our Automotive business of about $10 billion to protect against exogenous shocks. We assess the appropriate long-term target for total Automotive liquidity, comprised of Automotive cash and the corporate credit facility, to be about $30 billion, which is an amount we believe is sufficient to support our business priorities and to protect our business. At March 31, 2017, we had $38.9 billion of Automotive liquidity. Our Automotive cash and Automotive liquidity targets could be reduced over time based on improved operating performance and changes in our risk profile.

Changes in Automotive Cash. Changes in Automotive cash are summarized below (in billions):

In managing our Automotive business, we classify changes in Automotive cash into operating and other items. Operating items include: Automotive segment pre-tax profits, capital spending, depreciation and tooling amortization, changes in working capital, and All Other and timing differences. Non-operating items include: separation payments, transactions with other segments, acquisitions and divestitures, changes in Automotive debt, contributions to funded pension plans, and dividends paid to shareholders.

Automotive operating cash flow was $2 billion in the first quarter of 2017, explained by Automotive segment pre-tax profits. Working capital, net spending, and timing differences offset one another.

Capital spending was $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2017, and our outlook for capital spending remains at about $7 billion for the full year. Based on expected cash flows and the identification of additional opportunities for profitable growth, the ongoing amount of capital spending to support product development, growth, restructuring, and infrastructure is expected to be between $8 billion and $9 billion per year through 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Shareholder distributions in the first quarter of 2017 were about $800 million, including a $200 million supplemental dividend. For the full year, we expect distributions to be about $2.7 billion.

With respect to “Changes in working capital,” in general we carry relatively low Automotive segment trade receivables compared with our trade payables because the majority of our Automotive wholesales are financed (primarily by Ford Credit) immediately upon sale of vehicles to dealers, which generally occurs at the time the vehicles are gate-released shortly after being produced. In addition, our inventories are lean because we build to order, not for inventory. In contrast, our Automotive trade payables are based primarily on industry-standard production supplier payment terms generally ranging between 30 days to 45 days. As a result, our cash flow tends to improve as wholesale volumes increase, but can deteriorate significantly when wholesale volumes drop sharply. These working capital balances generally are subject to seasonal changes that can impact cash flow. For example, we typically experience cash flow timing differences associated with inventories and payables due to our annual summer and December shutdown periods, when production, and therefore inventories and wholesale volumes, are usually at their lowest levels, while payables continue to come due and be paid. The net impact of this typically results in cash outflows from changes in our working capital balances during these shutdown periods.

Available Credit Lines. Total committed Automotive credit lines at March 31, 2017 were $11.9 billion, consisting of $10.4 billion of our corporate credit facility and $1.5 billion of local credit facilities for use by our non-U.S. Automotive affiliates. At March 31, 2017, the utilized portion of the corporate credit facility was about $35 million, representing amounts utilized for letters of credit. At March 31, 2017, the utilized portion of the local credit facilities was about $940 million.

Lenders under our corporate credit facility have commitments to us totaling $13.4 billion, with 75% of the commitments maturing on April 30, 2021 and 25% of the commitments maturing on April 30, 2019. We have allocated $3 billion of commitments to Ford Credit on an irrevocable and exclusive basis to support its growth and liquidity. Any borrowings by Ford Credit under the corporate credit facility would be guaranteed by us.

The corporate credit facility is unsecured and free of material adverse change conditions to borrowing, restrictive financial covenants (for example, interest or fixed charge coverage ratio, debt-to-equity ratio, and minimum net worth requirements), and credit rating triggers that could limit our ability to obtain funding. The corporate credit facility contains a liquidity covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum of $4 billion in aggregate of domestic cash, cash equivalents, and loaned and marketable securities and/or availability under the facility. If our senior, unsecured, long-term debt does not maintain at least two investment grade ratings from Fitch, Moody’s, and S&P (each as defined under “Credit Ratings” below), the guarantees of certain subsidiaries will be required.

We are in the process of amending our corporate credit facility, with the closing scheduled to occur on April 28, 2017. When complete, we expect to maintain total commitments of $13.4 billion, extend the respective maturity dates by one year, and maintain the $3 billion allocation to Ford Credit.

Debt. Total Automotive debt at March 31, 2017 was $16.2 billion, which is $300 million higher than at December 31, 2016. The increase primarily reflects an increase in local debt in international markets (as a result of the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) and foreign currency exchange effects, offset partially by debt repayments.

Leverage. We manage Automotive debt levels with a leverage framework to maintain strong, investment grade credit ratings through a normal business cycle. The leverage framework includes a ratio of Automotive debt, underfunded pension liabilities, operating leases, and other adjustments, divided by Automotive income before income tax, adjusted for depreciation, amortization, interest expense on Automotive debt, and other adjustments. Ford Credit’s leverage is calculated as a separate business as described in the Liquidity - Financial Services section of Item 2. Ford Credit is self-funding and its debt, which is used to fund its operations, is separate from our Automotive debt.

Financial Services Segment

Ford Credit

Funding Overview. Ford Credit’s primary funding and liquidity objective is to be well capitalized with a strong investment grade balance sheet and ample liquidity to support its financing activities and growth under a variety of market conditions, including short-term and long-term market disruptions. Ford Credit’s funding strategy remains focused on diversification, and it plans to continue accessing a variety of markets, channels, and investors.

Ford Credit’s liquidity profile continues to be diverse, robust, and focused on maintaining liquidity levels that meet its business and funding requirements. Ford Credit annually stress tests its balance sheet and liquidity to ensure that it continues to meet its financial obligations through economic cycles.

Funding Portfolio. The chart below shows the trends in funding for Ford Credit’s managed receivables:

At March 31, 2017, Ford Credit’s managed receivables were $140 billion, and were funded primarily with term debt and term asset-backed securities. Securitized funding as a percent of managed receivables was 35%.

Ford Credit expects the mix of securitized funding to trend lower over time. However, the calendarization of the funding plan may result in quarterly fluctuations of the securitized funding percentage.

In April 2017, FCE Bank plc launched Ford Money retail deposits for U.K. consumers, providing additional funding diversity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Public Term Funding Plan. The following chart shows Ford Credit’s issuances for full-year 2015 and 2016, planned issuances for full-year 2017, and its global public term funding issuances through April 26, 2017, excluding short-term funding programs:

For 2017, Ford Credit’s full-year forecast is unchanged with public term funding in the range of $24 billion to $30 billion. Through April 26, 2017, Ford Credit completed over $11 billion of public term issuance.

In April 2017, Ford Automotive Finance (China)’s securitization issuance earned the first auto-ABS international rating agency AAA rating in the market.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Liquidity. Ford Credit defines gross liquidity as cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (excluding amounts related to insurance activities) and committed capacity (which includes its credit and asset-backed facilities and bank lines), less utilization of liquidity. Utilization of liquidity is the amount funded under Ford Credit’s liquidity sources and also includes the cash and cash equivalents required to support securitization transactions. Securitization cash is cash held for the benefit of the securitization investors (for example, a reserve fund). Net liquidity available for use is defined as gross liquidity less certain adjustments for asset-backed capacity in excess of eligible receivables and cash related to the Ford Credit Revolving Extended Variable-utilization program (“FordREV”), which can be accessed through future sales of receivables. While not included in available liquidity, these adjustments represent additional funding sources for future originations

The following chart shows Ford Credit’s liquidity sources and utilization:

Ford Credit’s liquidity available for use will fluctuate quarterly based on factors including near-term debt maturities, receivable growth, and timing of funding transactions. Ford Credit targets liquidity of at least $25 billion. As of March 31, 2017, Ford Credit’s liquidity available for use was up $2.3 billion from year-end 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, Ford Credit’s liquidity remained strong at $29.3 billion. Ford Credit’s sources of liquidity include cash, committed asset-backed facilities, unsecured credit facilities, and the corporate credit facility allocation. As of March 31, 2017, Ford Credit’s liquidity sources including cash totaled $51.7 billion, up $800 million from year-end 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Leverage. Ford Credit uses leverage, or the debt-to-equity ratio, to make various business decisions, including evaluating and establishing pricing for finance receivable and operating lease financing, and assessing its capital structure.

The chart below shows the calculation of Ford Credit’s financial statement leverage and managed leverage:

Ford Credit plans its managed leverage by considering prevailing market conditions and the risk characteristics of its business. At March 31, 2017, Ford Credit’s financial statement leverage was 9.8:1, and its managed leverage was 9.1:1. Ford Credit targets managed leverage in the range of 8:1 to 9:1. Managed leverage continues to trend toward the target range.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

Total Company

Pension Plans - Underfunded Balances. As of March 31, 2017, our total Company pension underfunded status reported on our balance sheet was $8.5 billion and reflects the net underfunded status at December 31, 2016 updated for service and interest cost, expected return on assets, separation expense, actual benefit payments, and cash contributions. The discount rate and rate of expected return assumptions are unchanged from year-end 2016, and the reported number does not reflect any impact from the changes in interest rates since year-end 2016.

Based on our planning assumptions for asset returns, discount rates, and contributions, we expect our funded status to improve at year-end 2017 compared to the end of last year.

CREDIT RATINGS

Our short-term and long-term debt is rated by four credit rating agencies designated as nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”) by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission:


•	DBRS Limited (“DBRS”);


•	Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”);


•	Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”); and


•	Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw Hill Financial (“S&P”).

In several markets, locally-recognized rating agencies also rate us. A credit rating reflects an assessment by the rating agency of the credit risk associated with a corporate entity or particular securities issued by that entity. Rating agencies’ ratings of us are based on information provided by us and other sources. Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, sell, or hold securities, and are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating agency may have different criteria for evaluating company risk and, therefore, ratings should be evaluated independently for each rating agency.

There have been no rating actions taken by these NRSROs since the filing of our 2016 Form10-K Report.

The following chart summarizes certain of the credit ratings and outlook presently assigned by these four NRSROs:

GDP AND INDUSTRY PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS

Based on the current environment, our GDP and industry planning assumptions include the following:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

PRODUCTION VOLUMES

The first quarter 2017 actual and second quarter 2017 forecasted production volumes for our Automotive business units are as follows:

Production volumes above include Ford brand and JMC brand vehicles produced by our unconsolidated affiliates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

OUTLOOK

Based on the current economic environment, our Company and business unit guidance for 2017 and Company guidance for 2018 include the following:

For the full year, we have guided to a decline in total Company adjusted pre-tax profit from 2016. Essentially all of that decline occurred in the first quarter. The second through fourth quarters will vary positively and negatively versus prior-year periods; the third quarter is expected to be the lowest absolute profit due to seasonal factors and the launch of the Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. In the aggregate, the balance of the year is expected to be flat to somewhat better than the same period in 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

2017 Business Unit Guidance

The guidance above provides our latest assessment of the “puts and takes” for each region or segment compared to results a year ago. While our guidance remains unchanged, we are seeing a significant increase in headwinds from higher commodities, mainly steel but across most commodity groups. We are increasing our efforts to deliver greater cost efficiencies across all parts of the business to mitigate this headwind and further improve the fitness of our business.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

2018 Company Guidance

We expect total Company adjusted pre-tax profit this year to be about $9 billion, setting a platform for a stronger result in 2018. We expect this improvement to be led by gains in our core business, thanks to full-year availability of new high-margin vehicles such as the Lincoln Navigator and Expedition. We expect F-Series to continue to perform well in the market. We also anticipate Ford Credit to benefit from lower supplemental depreciation. And, at the same time, we will continue to invest in the emerging opportunities that will drive future growth and profitability for the Company.

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, Europe, or China, due to financial crisis, recession, geopolitical events, or other factors;


•	Lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of Ford’s new or existing products or services, or failure to achieve expected growth;


•	Market shift away from sales of larger, more profitable vehicles beyond Ford’s current planning assumption, particularly in the United States;

•	Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates;


•	Adverse effects resulting from economic, geopolitical, protectionist trade policies, or other events;


•	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 other postretirement liabilities impairing liquidity or financial condition;


•	Worse-than-assumed economic and demographic experience for pension and other 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;


•	Adverse effects on results from a decrease in or cessation or clawback of government incentives related to investments;


•	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, financial institutions, or other third parties seeking to increase their share of financing Ford vehicles; and


•	New or increased credit regulations, consumer or data protection regulations, 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.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The interim financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended

March 31, 2017 and 2016 has not been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”). In reviewing such information, PwC has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for reviews of interim financial information. Readers should restrict reliance on PwC’s reports on such information accordingly. PwC is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for its reports on interim financial information, because such reports do not constitute “reports” or “parts” of registration statements prepared or certified by PwC within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Automotive Segment

Foreign Currency Risk. The net fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk), as of December 31, 2016, was an asset of $528 million compared with an asset of $107 million as of March 31, 2017. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying exchange rates, in U.S. dollar terms, was $2.7 billion at December 31, 2016, compared with $2.7 billion at March 31, 2017.

Commodity Price Risk. The net fair value of commodity forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk) as of December 31, 2016 was an asset of $5 million, compared with an asset of $42 million as of March 31, 2017. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying commodity prices, in U.S. dollar terms, was $54 million at December 31, 2016, compared with $59 million at March 31, 2017.

Financial Services Segment

Interest Rate Risk. To provide a quantitative measure of the sensitivity of its pre-tax cash flow to changes in interest rates, Ford Credit uses interest rate scenarios that assume a hypothetical, instantaneous increase or decrease of one percentage point in all interest rates across all maturities (a “parallel shift”), as well as a base case that assumes that all interest rates remain constant at existing levels. The differences in pre-tax cash flow between these scenarios and the base case over a 12-month period represent an estimate of the sensitivity of Ford Credit’s pre-tax cash flow. Under this model, Ford Credit estimates that at March 31, 2017 all else constant, such an increase in interest rates would increase its pre-tax cash flow by $23 million over the next 12 months, compared with an increase of $21 million at December 31, 2016. In reality, interest rate changes are rarely instantaneous or parallel and rates could move more or less than the one percentage point assumed in Ford Credit’s analysis. As a result, the actual impact to pre-tax cash flow could be higher or lower than the results detailed above.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Mark Fields, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Bob Shanks, our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), have performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2017, and each has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Beginning January 1, 2017, we implemented ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Although the new revenue standard is expected to have an immaterial impact on our ongoing net income, we did implement changes to our processes related to revenue recognition and the control activities within them. These included the development of new policies based on the five-step model provided in the new revenue standard, new training, ongoing contract review requirements, and gathering of information provided for disclosures.
