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. We also make reference to Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, herein referenced to as Ford Credit. 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, 2018 (“2018 Form 10-K Report”). We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Change in Accounting
As of January 1, 2019, we changed our accounting method for reporting early termination losses related to customer defaults on Ford Credit’s operating leases. Previously, we presented the early termination loss reserve on operating leases due to customer default events as part of the allowance for credit losses within Net investment in operating leases. We now consider the effects of operating lease early terminations when determining depreciation estimates, which are included as part of accumulated depreciation within Net investment in operating leases. We believe this change in accounting method is preferable as the characterization of these changes is better reflected as depreciation.
We have retrospectively applied this change in accounting method to all prior periods. At December 31, 2018, this reclassification increased accumulated depreciation and decreased allowance for credit losses by $78 million within Net investment in operating leases. This change had no impact on our consolidated income statement, consolidated balance sheet or Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the interim periods presented.

NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases. On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification 842 and all the related amendments (“new lease standard”) using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new lease 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 lease accounting standard in effect for those periods. We do not expect the adoption of the new lease standard to have a material impact to our net income on an ongoing basis.
The new lease standard requires all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease obligations. We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance of the new standard that retained the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. We did not reassess whether any contracts or land easements entered into prior to adoption are leases or contain leases.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated balance sheet at January 1, 2019, for the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases, was as follows (in millions):

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial statements.
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. We plan to adopt the new standard and the related amendments on the effective date of January 1, 2020, by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of Retained earnings. We anticipate adoption will increase the amount of expected credit losses reported in Ford Credit finance receivables, net on our consolidated balance sheet and do not expect a material impact to our consolidated income statement.

NOTE 3. REVENUE (Continued)
The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize on our vehicles, parts, and accessories varies with changes in marketing incentives and returns we offer to our customers and their customers. As a result of changes in our estimate of marketing incentives, we recorded a decrease related to revenue recognized in prior periods of $220 million and $350 million in the second quarter of 2018 and 2019, respectively.
We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners (“extended service contracts”). At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, $3.8 billion and $4 billion, respectively, of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in Other liabilities and deferred revenue. We recognized $269 million and $285 million of the unearned amounts as revenue during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019, respectively, and $567 million and $590 million in the first half of 2018 and 2019, respectively. At June 30, 2019, the unearned amount was $4 billion. We expect to recognize approximately $600 million of the unearned amount in the remainder of 2019, $1.1 billion in 2020, and $2.3 billion thereafter.
Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets. We had a balance of $247 million and $258 million in deferred costs as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, respectively, and recognized $19 million and $20 million of amortization during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019, respectively, and $37 million and $39 million in the first half of 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Ford Credit’s finance leases are comprised of sales-type and direct financing leases. Ford Credit offers finance leases to individuals, leasing companies, government entities, daily rental companies, and fleet customers. These financings include primarily lease plans for terms of 24 to 60 months. Financing revenue from finance leases for the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 was $95 million and $97 million, respectively, and for the first half of 2018 and 2019 was $190 million and $189 million, respectively. Financing revenue from finance leases is included in Ford Credit revenues on the consolidated income statement.

At December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, accrued uncollected interest was $264 million and $262 million, respectively, which is reported in Other assets in the current assets section of our consolidated balance sheet.
Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, were consumer receivables of $40.7 billion and $39.3 billion, respectively, and non-consumer receivables of $25.7 billion and $25.1 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, Ford Credit defines “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 $20 million at December 31, 2018.

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

• | Group II – fair to favorable financial metrics; |
• | Group III – marginal to weak financial metrics; and |
• | Group IV – poor financial metrics, including dealers classified as uncollectible. |

Impaired Receivables. Impaired consumer receivables include accounts that have been rewritten or modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that are considered to be Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”), as well as all accounts greater than 120 days past due. 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, 2018 and June 30, 2019 was $370 million and $337 million, or 0.5% and 0.5% of consumer receivables, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 was $129 million and $115 million, or 0.4% and 0.3% of non-consumer receivables, respectively. Impaired finance receivables are evaluated both collectively and specifically.

NOTE 11. NET INVESTMENT IN OPERATING LEASES
Net investment in operating leases consists primarily of lease contracts for vehicles with individuals, daily rental companies, government entities, and fleet customers. Assets subject to operating leases are depreciated using the straight-line method over the term of the lease to reduce the asset to its estimated residual value. Estimated residual values are based on assumptions for used vehicle prices at lease termination and the number of vehicles that are expected to be returned.

NOTE 12. OTHER INVESTMENTS
We have investments in entities for which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence and fair values are not readily available. We record these investments at cost (less impairment, if any), adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. We report the carrying value of these investments in Other assets in the non-current assets section of our consolidated balance sheet. These investments were $250 million and $727 million at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The increase from December 31, 2018 primarily reflects the $500 million investment in Rivian we made during the second quarter of 2019. In the first half of 2019, there were no material adjustments to the fair values of these investments held at June 30, 2019.

The service cost component is included in Cost of sales and Selling, administrative, and other expenses. Other components of net periodic benefit cost/(income) are included in Other income/(loss), net on our consolidated income statement.
As part of our ongoing global redesign activities, we recognized additional pension expense of $232 million and $245 million in the second quarter and first half of 2019, respectively, related to separation programs. In addition, in the second quarter, we recognized a settlement, which required a plan remeasurement at current discount rates, asset returns, and economic conditions. This resulted in a remeasurement gain of $10 million and a settlement gain of $50 million. Until our global redesign actions are completed, we anticipate further adjustments to our plans in subsequent periods.
Pension Plan Contributions
During 2019, we expect to contribute about $650 million (most of which are mandatory contributions) from cash and cash equivalents to our worldwide funded pension plans and to make about $350 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans, for a total of about $1 billion. In the first half of 2019, we contributed about $400 million (including $140 million in discretionary contributions in the United States) to our worldwide funded pension plans and made about $150 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans.

NOTE 16. LEASE COMMITMENTS
We lease land, dealership facilities, offices, distribution centers, warehouses, and equipment under agreements with contractual periods ranging from less than one year to 40 years. Many of our leases contain one or more options to extend. In certain dealership lease agreements, we are the tenant and we sublease the site to a dealer. In the event the sublease is terminated, we have the option to terminate the head lease. We include options that we are reasonably certain to exercise in our evaluation of the lease term after considering all relevant economic and financial factors.
Leases that are economically similar to the purchase of an asset are classified as finance leases. The leased (“right-of-use”) assets in finance lease arrangements are reported in Net property on our consolidated balance sheet. Otherwise, the leases are classified as operating leases and reported in Other assets in the non-current assets section of our consolidated balance sheet.
For the majority of our leases commencing after January 1, 2019, we do not separate the non-lease components (e.g., maintenance and operating services) from the lease components to which they relate. Instead, non-lease components are included in the measurement of the lease liabilities. However, we do separate lease and non-lease components for contracts containing a significant service component (e.g., energy performance contracts). We calculate the initial lease liability as the present value of fixed payments not yet paid and variable payments that are based on a market rate or an index (e.g., CPI), measured at commencement. The majority of our leases are discounted using our incremental borrowing rate because the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. All other variable payments are expensed as incurred.

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.

Balance Sheet Effect of Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative assets and liabilities are reported on our consolidated 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.

NOTE 19. EMPLOYEE SEPARATION ACTIONS AND EXIT AND DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
We record costs associated with voluntary separations at the time of employee acceptance, unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the Company. We record costs associated with involuntary separation programs when management has approved the plan for separation, the affected employees are identified, and it is unlikely that actions required to complete the separation plan will change significantly. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period.
Automotive Segment
As announced, we are executing a global redesign of our business. Redesign-related activities, including employee separation costs, payments to dealers and suppliers, and other charges, are recorded in Cost of sales and Selling, administrative, and other expenses. Below are actions we have initiated as part of the redesign.
Brazil. On February 15, 2019, Ford Motor Company Brasil Ltda. (“Ford Brazil”), our subsidiary in Brazil, committed to a plan to exit the commercial heavy truck business in South America. As a result, Ford Brazil will cease production at the São Bernardo do Campo plant in Brazil during 2019.
Russia. On March 27, 2019, Ford Sollers Netherlands B.V. (“Ford Sollers”), a joint venture between Ford and Sollers PJSC (“Sollers”) in which Ford had control, announced its plan to restructure its business in Russia to focus exclusively on commercial vehicles and to exit the passenger car segment. As a result of these actions, Ford acquired a 100% ownership of Ford Sollers and ceased production at the Naberezhnye Chelny and St. Petersburg vehicle assembly plants and the Elabuga engine plant during the second quarter of 2019.
Subsequent to the completion of the restructuring actions, in July 2019, Ford sold a 51% controlling interest in the restructured entity to Sollers.
United Kingdom. On June 5, 2019, Ford Motor Company Limited (“Ford of Britain”), a subsidiary of Ford, announced its plan to exit the Ford Bridgend plant in South Wales in 2020.
Other Global Redesign Actions. In 2018, we announced our plan to end production at the Ford Aquitaine Industries plant in Bordeaux, France, and in March 2019, we announced our plan to phase-out the production of the C-Max at the Saarlouis Body and Assembly Plant in Germany. Furthermore, we are reducing our global workforce and taking other restructuring actions.
The following table summarizes the redesign-related activities, which are recorded in Other liabilities and deferred revenue (in millions):

We also recorded $291 million and $542 million in second quarter and first half of 2019, respectively, for accelerated depreciation and other non-cash charges. We estimate that we will incur total charges in 2019 that range between $3 billion and $3.5 billion related to the actions above, primarily attributable to employee separations, accelerated depreciation, and dealer and supplier settlements.

NOTE 20. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
We formed the Ford Sollers joint venture with Sollers in October 2011 to operate in Russia. The value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, reflecting redemption features embedded in the 50% equity interest in the joint venture held by Sollers, reported in the mezzanine section of our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2018 was $100 million. The redeemable noncontrolling interest became exercisable beginning on January 1, 2019, and Sollers exercised its option in March 2019 for a value of $135 million. The $35 million increase in value from December 2018 was reported in Income/(Loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests on our consolidated income statement during the first quarter of 2019. We purchased the noncontrolling interest from Sollers in the second quarter of 2019 and derecognized the redeemable noncontrolling interest balance. See Note 19 for more information concerning the restructuring of our business in Russia.

NOTE 22. 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, 2018 | June 30, 2019 | ||||||
Maximum potential payments | $ | 1,163 | $ | 1,043 | |||
Carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities | 351 | 324 |
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 a 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 $897 million as of June 30, 2019, 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 $297 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee.
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.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 22. 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 $700 million. In addition, we have a reasonably possible risk of loss for an emission matter. At this stage, we cannot estimate the risk of loss or predict the outcome, and cannot provide reasonable assurance that it will not have a material adverse effect on us.
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 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 estimated supplier recoveries, for the periods ended June 30 was as follows (in millions):
First Half | |||||||

Beginning balance | $ | 5,296 | $ | 5,137 | |||

NOTE 23. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Below is a description of our reportable segments and other activities.
Automotive Segment
Our Automotive segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, service parts, and accessories worldwide, together with the associated costs to develop, manufacture, distribute, and service the vehicles, parts, and accessories. This segment includes revenues and costs related to our electrification vehicle programs. The segment includes the following regional business units: North America, South America, Europe, China, Asia Pacific Operations, and Middle East & Africa.
Mobility Segment
Our Mobility segment primarily includes development costs related to our autonomous vehicles and our investment in mobility through Ford Smart Mobility LLC (“FSM”). Autonomous vehicles includes self-driving systems development and vehicle integration, autonomous vehicle research and advanced engineering, autonomous vehicle transportation-as-a-service network development, user experience, and business strategy and business development teams. FSM designs and builds mobility products and subscription services on its own, and collaborates with service providers and technology companies. In 2019, we began recording in the Mobility segment subscription related income previously reported in the Automotive segment. This income is generated from services managed in our Mobility segment.
Ford Credit Segment
The Ford Credit segment is comprised of the Ford Credit business on a consolidated basis, which is primarily vehicle-related financing and leasing activities.
Corporate Other
Corporate Other primarily includes corporate governance expenses, interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment) and portfolio gains and losses from our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and foreign exchange derivatives gains and losses associated with intercompany lending. Corporate governance expenses are primarily administrative, delivering benefit on behalf of the global enterprise, and are not allocated to specific Automotive business units or operating segments. These include expenses related to setting and directing global policy, providing oversight and stewardship, and promoting the Company’s interests. The underlying assets and liabilities associated with these activities remain with the respective Automotive and Mobility segments.
Interest on Debt
Interest on Debt is presented as a separate reconciling item and consists of interest expense on Automotive and Other debt. The underlying liability is reported in the Automotive segment and in Corporate Other.
Special Items
Special Items are presented as a separate reconciling item. They consist of (i) pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel expenses, dealer-related costs, and facility-related charges stemming from 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. Our management excludes these items from its review of the results of the operating segments for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources. We also report these special items separately to help investors track amounts related to these activities and to allow investors analyzing our results to identify certain infrequent significant items that they may wish to exclude when considering the trend of ongoing operating results.

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.
• | Company Adjusted EBIT (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Income Attributable to Ford) – Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) excludes interest on debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), taxes and pre-tax special items. This non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate our operating results aligned with industry reporting. Pre-tax special items consist of (i) pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel expenses, dealer-related costs, and facility-related charges stemming from 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 EBIT, we do not provide guidance on a net income basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses. |
• | Company Adjusted EBIT Margin (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Company Net Income Margin) – Company Adjusted EBIT margin is Company adjusted EBIT divided by Company revenue. This non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate our operating results aligned with industry reporting. |
• | 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), tax special items and restructuring impacts in non-controlling interests. 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, including 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, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses. |
• | Company Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Cash Provided By / (Used In) Operating Activities) – Measure of Company’s operating cash flow excluding Ford Credit’s operating cash flows. The measure contains elements management considers operating activities, including Automotive and Mobility capital spending, Ford Credit distributions to its parent, and settlement of derivatives. The measure excludes cash outflows for funded pension contributions, separation payments, and other items that are considered operating cash outflows under U.S. GAAP. This measure is useful to management and investors because it is consistent with management’s assessment of the Company’s operating cash flow performance. When we provide guidance for Company adjusted free cash flow, we do not provide guidance for net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities because the GAAP measure will include items that are difficult to quantify or predict with reasonable certainty, including cash flows related to the Company's exposures to foreign currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices (separate from any related hedges), Ford Credit's operating cash flows, and cash flows related to special items, including separation payments, each of which individually or in the aggregate could have a significant impact to our net cash provided by/(used in) our operating activities. |
34
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
• | Adjusted Free Cash Conversion (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Cash Provided By / (Used In) Operating Activities divided by Net Income Attributable to Ford) – Adjusted Free Cash Conversion is Company adjusted free cash flow divided by Company Adjusted EBIT. This non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate how much of Ford's Adjusted EBIT is converted into cash flow. |
• | Adjusted ROIC – Calculated as the sum of adjusted net operating profit after cash tax from the last four quarters, divided by the average invested capital over the last four quarters. Adjusted Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) provides management and investors with useful information to evaluate the Company’s after-cash tax operating return on its invested capital for the period presented. Adjusted net operating profit after cash tax measures operating results less special items, interest on debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), and certain pension/OPEB costs. Average invested capital is the sum of average balance sheet equity, debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), and net pension/OPEB liability. When we provide guidance for adjusted ROIC, we do not provide guidance on an unadjusted ROIC basis because it will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end. |
• | 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. |

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Company
The chart below shows our second quarter 2019 net income attributable to Ford and Company adjusted EBIT by segment.
In the second quarter of 2019, net income attributable to Ford was $148 million, down $0.9 billion from a year ago due to $1.2 billion of special item charges, the vast majority of which were associated with the redesigns of Europe and South America. The cash effect of the special item charges was $0.2 billion in the second quarter.
Company adjusted EBIT of $1.7 billion in the second quarter of 2019 was driven by our Automotive and Ford Credit segments.
In our Mobility segment, our strategic investments increased by 46 percent year over year as we continue to build-out our capabilities including mobility services, connectivity, and autonomy.
Ford Credit posted a 29 percent increase in EBT from a year ago. Favorable loss metrics reflected healthy consumer credit conditions, and, year to date, auction values for off-lease vehicles performed slightly better than expectations. We now believe full year 2019 auction values will be down by about 3 percent on average year over year, at constant mix. Receivables were flat year over year, and managed receivables remain below Ford Credit’s target of $155 billion.
Corporate Other expense of $286 million included a mark-to-market loss of $181 million for our investment in Pivotal Software.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
The chart below shows our second quarter and year-to-date 2019 key metrics for the Company, compared to a year ago.
In the second quarter of 2019, our diluted earnings per share of Common and Class B stock was $0.04 and our diluted adjusted earnings per share was $0.28.
Net income margin was 0.4 percent in the second quarter of 2019, down 2.3 percentage points from a year ago. Company adjusted EBIT margin was 4.3 percent in the second quarter of 2019, flat compared with a year ago.
In the second quarter of 2019, wholesales declined 9 percent year over year, driven by China, lower industry, and launch-related volume impact in North America, as we ramped up Explorer and Police Interceptor. Although wholesales were down, revenue was flat, as strong mix and pricing were offset by lower volumes and adverse exchange.
37
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
The chart below shows the change in second quarter 2019 revenue compared with second quarter 2018.
In the second quarter of 2019, revenue was $39 billion, the same as a year ago. Pricing was positive in all regions, led by North America’s strength in trucks and utilities. Adverse exchange of $1.3 billion was primarily driven by Europe and South America.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Automotive Segment
In general, we measure year-over-year change in Automotive segment EBIT using the causal factors listed below, with net pricing and cost variances calculated at present-period volume and mix and exchange:
• | Market Factors (exclude the impact of unconsolidated affiliate wholesales): |
◦ | Volume and Mix – primarily measures EBIT 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 EBIT 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 EBIT 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 |
• | Cost: |
◦ | Contribution Costs – primarily measures EBIT 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 EBIT 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 |
• | Other – includes a variety of items, such as parts and services earnings, royalties, government incentives, and compensation-related changes. Other also includes: |
◦ | Exchange – primarily measures EBIT 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 |
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 |
• | Industry Volume and Market Share – based, in part, on estimated vehicle registrations; includes medium and heavy duty trucks |
• | SAAR – seasonally adjusted annual rate |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
The chart below shows our second quarter 2019 Automotive segment EBIT by region.
In the second quarter of 2019, our Automotive segment posted its second consecutive quarter of EBIT growth. EBIT grew 19 percent from a year ago (up from 16 percent last quarter), and Automotive EBIT margin expanded by 60 basis points. These results were supported by strong mix in North America, reflecting our franchise strengths, and strong pricing in every region. In North America, EBIT declined 3 percent driven by the changeover of Explorer, Interceptor, and the introduction of Lincoln’s all-new Aviator, as well as higher warranty costs.
In North America, second quarter 2019 EBIT was down from a year ago and EBIT margin contracted by 30 basis points to 7.1 percent. The region continued to deliver strong mix and net pricing, supported by F-Series, as well our decision to exit traditional sedans. This favorability was more than offset by launch-related declines in volume and higher warranty. In the quarter, wholesales for Explorer and Interceptor were down by 72,000 units year over year, which led to the 7 percent overall decline in wholesales in North America.
In the United States, sales of total pickups accelerated in the second quarter of 2019, marking our best overall pickup sales performance since 2004. F-Series continues to do well, maintaining market leadership with the lowest incentive spend of primary competitors and the highest transaction pricing. Ranger, which we launched at the end of 2018, more than doubled its volume from the first quarter of 2019 while also steadily increasing segment share to 14.2 percent.
Europe’s second quarter 2019 EBIT of $53 million was an improvement of $126 million year over year supported by our redesign actions. Favorable market factors, aided by flat structural costs excluding pension, drove the EBIT improvement. This was the first quarterly year-over-year improvement in EBIT for Europe in two years.
In China, second quarter 2019 consolidated revenue increased 48 percent from a year ago, driven by higher Lincoln volumes. EBIT loss narrowed to $155 million, a year-over-year improvement of $328 million, supported by favorable improvements from consolidated operations in volume, mix, and pricing, lower tariffs and structural costs, as well as favorable exchange. Our team has taken action to stabilize sales, with second quarter retail sales up 13 percent sequentially and reductions in inventory to improve dealer health.
In addition, China implemented initiatives ranging from enhancing capabilities with in-depth Chinese market experience to strengthening cooperation with joint venture partners.

Mobility Segment
Our Mobility segment primarily includes development costs related to our autonomous vehicles and our investment in mobility through Ford Smart Mobility LLC (“FSM”). Autonomous vehicles includes self-driving systems development and vehicle integration, autonomous vehicle research and advanced engineering, autonomous vehicle transportation-as-a-service network development, user experience, and business strategy and business development teams. FSM designs and builds mobility products and subscription services on its own, and collaborates with service providers and technology companies. In 2019, we began recording in the Mobility segment subscription related income previously reported in the Automotive segment. This income is generated from services managed in our Mobility segment.
The chart below shows the Mobility segment’s second quarter 2019 EBIT compared with a year ago.

Ford Credit Segment
Ford Credit files periodic reports with the SEC that contain additional information regarding Ford Credit. The reports are available through Ford Credit’s website located at www.fordcredit.com/investor-center and can also be found on the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov.
In general, we measure year-over-year changes in Ford Credit’s EBT 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 |
◦ | 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 within each 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 |
◦ | As of January 1, 2019, we changed our accounting method for reporting early termination losses related to customer defaults on operating leases. Previously, we presented the early termination loss reserve on operating leases due to customer default events as part of the allowance for credit losses which reduces Net investment in operating leases on the balance sheet. We now consider the effects of operating lease early terminations when determining depreciation estimates, which are included as part of accumulated depreciation within Net investment in operating leases on the balance sheet. We believe this change in accounting method is preferable as the characterization of these changes is better reflected as depreciation. We have reclassified prior period amounts to reflect these changes. For additional information, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2018 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 Ford Credit’s estimate of the number of vehicles that will be returned to it and sold. With the change in accounting method discussed above, accumulated depreciation now reflects early termination losses on operating leases due to customer default events for all periods presented. For additional information, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates - Accumulated Depreciation on Vehicles Subject to Operating Leases” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2018 Form 10-K Report |
49
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
• | Exchange: |
◦ | Reflects changes in EBT driven by the effects of converting functional currency income to U.S. dollars |
• | Other: |
◦ | Primarily includes operating expenses, other revenue, insurance expenses, and other income 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 income 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 |
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 |
• | Earnings Before Taxes (EBT) – Reflects Ford Credit’s income before income taxes |
• | Return on Equity (ROE) (as shown on the Key Metrics chart) – Reflects return on equity calculated by annualizing net income for the period and dividing by monthly average equity for the period |
• | Securitizations (as shown on the Public Term Funding Plan chart) – Public securitization transactions, Rule 144A offerings sponsored by Ford Credit, and widely distributed offerings by Ford Credit Canada |
• | Securitization Cash (as shown on the Liquidity Sources chart) – Cash held for the benefit of the securitization investors (for example, a reserve fund) |
• | 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 |
• | Total Net Receivables (as shown on the Total Net Receivables Reconciliation To Managed Receivables chart) – Includes finance receivables (retail and wholesale) sold for legal purposes and net investment in operating leases included in securitization transactions that do not satisfy the requirements for accounting sale treatment. These receivables and operating leases are reported on Ford Credit’s balance sheet and 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 of Ford Credit or the claims of Ford Credit’s other creditors |

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Corporate Other
Corporate Other primarily includes corporate governance expenses, interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment) and portfolio gains and losses from our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, and foreign exchange derivatives gains and losses associated with intercompany lending. Corporate governance expenses are primarily administrative, delivering benefit on behalf of the global enterprise, and are not allocated to specific Automotive business units or operating segments. These include expenses related to setting and directing global policy, providing oversight and stewardship, and promoting the Company’s interests. Our second quarter 2019 Corporate Other results were a $286 million loss, which includes the mark-to-market loss on our investment in Pivotal Software.
Interest on Debt
Interest on Debt consists of interest expense on Automotive and Other debt. Second quarter 2019 interest expense on Automotive and Other debt was $244 million, which is $57 million lower than a year ago, reflecting primarily lower foreign debt interest expense, including our repayment of higher-cost affiliate debt as discussed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below.
Special Items
In Note 23 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, special items are reflected as a separate reconciling item, as opposed to being allocated among the Automotive, Mobility, and Ford Credit segments. 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:
Taxes
Our tax provisions for second quarter and first half of 2019 were $55 million and $482 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 26.6% and 26.5%, respectively. Our second quarter and first half of 2019 adjusted effective tax rates, which exclude special items, were 19.2% and 19.5%, respectively.
53
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 2019, total balance sheet cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash (including Ford Credit) was $38.2 billion.
We consider our key balance sheet metrics to be: (i) Company cash, which includes cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash, excluding Ford Credit’s cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities, and restricted cash; and (ii) Company liquidity, which includes Company cash, less restricted cash, and total available committed credit lines, excluding Ford Credit’s total available committed credit lines.
Company excluding Ford Credit
Liquidity. One of our key priorities is to maintain a strong balance sheet, while at the same time having resources available to invest in and grow our business. Based on our planning assumptions, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to continue to invest in new products and services, pay our debts and obligations as and when they come due, pay a regular dividend, and provide protection within an uncertain global economic environment.
At June 30, 2019, we had Company cash of $23.2 billion, with 88% held by consolidated entities domiciled in the United States. To be prepared for an economic downturn, we target an ongoing Company cash balance at or above $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 investments in future opportunities, capital investments, debt maturities, pension contributions, or restructuring requirements, (ii) short-term timing differences, and (iii) changes in the global economic environment.
54
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Our Company cash investments primarily include U.S. Department of Treasury obligations, federal agency securities, bank time deposits with investment-grade institutions, investment-grade corporate securities, investment-grade commercial paper, 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 Company cash levels and average maturity on a daily basis.
In addition to our Company cash target, we also target to maintain a $10 billion balance available under our corporate credit facility, discussed below, for our Automotive business to protect against exogenous shocks. We assess the appropriate long-term target for total Company liquidity, which includes Company cash and the Automotive portion of the corporate credit facility, to be at or above $30 billion, which is an amount we believe is sufficient to support our business priorities and to protect our business. At June 30, 2019, we had $37.3 billion of Company liquidity, which is up over $3 billion from December 31, 2018, reflecting the addition of our supplemental credit facility (described below in Available Credit Lines). We may reduce our Company cash and liquidity targets over time, based on improved operating performance and changes in our risk profile.
Changes in Company Cash. In managing our business, we classify changes in Company cash into operating and non-operating items. Operating items include: Company adjusted EBIT excluding Ford Credit EBT, capital spending, depreciation and tooling amortization, changes in working capital, Ford Credit distributions, and all other and timing differences. Non-operating items include: Global Redesign (including separation payments), other transactions with Ford Credit, acquisitions and divestitures, changes in Automotive and Other debt, contributions to funded pension plans, and shareholder distributions.
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 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.
The year-over-year improvement in our cash flow in the second quarter and first half of 2019 was driven by favorable working capital.
55
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Changes in Company cash excluding Ford Credit are summarized below:
Capital spending was $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2019 and $3.5 billion year to date, 4 percent lower than a year ago. We expect full year 2019 capital spending to be about $7.7 billion. As we redesign our business, the ongoing amount of capital spending to support product development, growth, and infrastructure is expected to be about $7 billion annually through 2022.
Second quarter 2019 working capital was about $100 million negative, and year-to-date 2019 working capital was about $300 million positive, reflecting primarily changes in payables.
Second quarter and year-to-date 2019 all other and timing differences were both negative, reflecting primarily assorted timing differences, interest payments on Automotive and Other debt, and cash taxes.
Shareholder distributions were about $600 million in the second quarter of 2019 and $1.2 billion year-to-date. We expect full year distributions of $2.6 billion.
Available Credit Lines. Total committed Company credit lines excluding Ford Credit at June 30, 2019 were $11.4 billion, consisting of $10.4 billion of our corporate credit facility and $1 billion of local credit facilities. At June 30, 2019, the utilized portion of the corporate credit facility was $27 million, representing amounts utilized for letters of credit. At June 30, 2019, the utilized portion of the local credit facilities was $272 million.
Our corporate credit facility was amended in the second quarter of 2019 to extend the maturity dates by one year. Lenders under our corporate credit facility have commitments to us totaling $13.4 billion, with 75% of the commitments maturing on April 30, 2024 and 25% of the commitments maturing on April 30, 2022. We have allocated $3 billion of commitments to Ford Credit on an irrevocable and exclusive basis to support its liquidity. We would guarantee any borrowings by Ford Credit under the corporate credit facility.
56
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
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, the guarantees of certain subsidiaries will be required.
Also in the second quarter of 2019, we closed on a $3.5 billion supplemental credit facility, further strengthening our liquidity and providing additional financial flexibility. Unlike our corporate credit facility, the supplemental facility is intended to be utilized and includes a $2 billion revolving facility maturing on April 30, 2022 and a $1.5 billion delayed draw term loan facility maturing on December 31, 2022. We drew $500 million under the term loan facility in the second quarter of 2019, and we expect to draw the remainder of the term loan by year-end 2019. The terms and conditions of the supplemental credit facility are consistent with our corporate credit facility. As of July 24, 2019, $3 billion was available for use.
Debt. As shown in Note 17 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, at June 30, 2019, Company debt excluding Ford Credit was $14.6 billion, including Automotive debt of $14 billion. Both balances were about $450 million higher than at December 31, 2018, and include the $500 million draw under the term loan facility described above and our $750 million unsecured debt (retail bond) issuance in the second quarter of 2019. The impact of this draw and future draws under the term loan facility, as well as the unsecured debt issuance, is leverage neutral after taking into consideration debt reduction actions we took late last year and this year to repay higher-cost affiliate debt.
Leverage. We manage Company debt (excluding Ford Credit) levels with a leverage framework to maintain investment grade credit ratings through a normal business cycle. The leverage framework includes a ratio of total company debt (excluding Ford Credit) adjusted to include unamortized discount/premium and issuance costs (excluding Ford Credit), operating lease minimum commitments, and net pension liabilities excluding prepaid assets, divided by Company adjusted EBIT (excluding Ford Credit EBT), and further adjusted to include depreciation and tooling amortization (excluding Ford Credit), operating lease expense, and certain pension costs.
Ford Credit’s leverage is calculated as a separate business as described in the Liquidity - Ford Credit Segment section of Item 2. Ford Credit is self-funding and its debt, which is used to fund its operations, is separate from our Automotive and Other debt.

Ford Credit Segment
Funding Overview. Ford Credit’s primary funding objective is to be well capitalized, with a strong 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:
Managed receivables were $152 billion at June 30, 2019, about the same as a year ago. Managed receivables were funded primarily with term debt and term asset-backed securities. Securitized funding as a percent of managed receivables was 38%. Ford Credit targets a mix of securitized funding between 35% and 40%. The calendarization of the funding plan will result in quarterly fluctuations of the securitized funding percentage.

Public Term Funding Plan. The following chart shows Ford Credit’s issuances for full-year 2017 and 2018, planned issuances for full-year 2019, and its global public term funding issuances through July 23, 2019, excluding short-term funding programs:
Ford Credit’s total unsecured public term funding plan is categorized by currency of issuance. Ford Credit plans to continue issuing its eurocurrency-denominated (e.g., euro and sterling) public unsecured debt from the United States. For 2019, Ford Credit now projects full-year public term funding in the range of $27 billion to $31 billion. Through July 23, 2019, Ford Credit has completed $18 billion of public term issuances.
59
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Liquidity. The following chart shows Ford Credit’s liquidity sources and utilization:
Ford Credit’s net 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 about $25 billion.
At June 30, 2019, Ford Credit’s net liquidity available for use was $33.6 billion, $6.3 billion higher than year-end 2018.
Ford Credit’s sources of liquidity include cash, committed asset-backed facilities, unsecured credit facilities, and the corporate credit facility allocation. At June 30, 2019, Ford Credit’s liquidity sources including cash totaled $55.7 billion, up $4.1 billion from year-end 2018.
60
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 June 30, 2019, Ford Credit’s financial statement leverage was 9.5:1, and its managed leverage was 8.6:1. Ford Credit targets managed leverage in the range of 8:1 to 9:1.
61
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)
Total Company
Pension Plans - Underfunded Balances. As of June 30, 2019, our total Company pension underfunded status reported on our balance sheet was $5.7 billion and reflects the net underfunded status at December 31, 2018, updated for service and interest cost, expected return on assets, settlement gain and associated interim remeasurement (where applicable), separation expense, actual benefit payments, and cash contributions. For plans without interim remeasurement, the discount rate and rate of expected return assumptions are unchanged from year-end 2018.
Based on our planning assumptions for asset returns, discount rates, and contributions, we expect our funded status to remain relatively unchanged at year-end 2019 compared to the end of 2018.
Return on Invested Capital. We analyze total Company performance using an adjusted Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”) financial metric based on an after-tax, rolling four quarter average. The following table contains the calculation of our ROIC for the periods shown:

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, Fitch, Moody’s, and 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.
The following rating actions were taken by these NRSROs since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
• | On May 17, 2019, Fitch revised the outlook to negative from stable for Ford and Ford Credit and affirmed their ratings. |
The following chart summarizes certain of the credit ratings and outlook presently assigned by these four NRSROs:

OUTLOOK
Our Company guidance for 2019, which is based on the current economic environment, including commodities, foreign exchange, and tariffs, is below. This guidance replaces in its entirety the guidance provided on page 60 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
In addition, as previously reported, we have identified a total of about $11 billion in potential EBIT charges for our Global Redesign actions, with negative cash effects of about $7 billion. In 2019, we continue to expect to incur $3 billion to $3.5 billion of the EBIT charges, but now expect negative cash effects of about $1.5 billion to $2 billion, reflecting a shift of about $0.5 billion to $1 billion in cash effects to 2020. We expect substantially all of the EBIT charges to be treated as special items.

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 June 30, 2019, was a liability of $100 million, compared with an asset of $363 million as of December 31, 2018. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying exchange rates, in U.S. dollar terms, was $2.2 billion at June 30, 2019, compared with $2.5 billion at December 31, 2018.
Commodity Price Risk. The net fair value of commodity forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk) as of June 30, 2019, was a liability of $51 million, compared with a liability of $62 million at December 31, 2018. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying commodity prices, in U.S. dollar terms, was $92 million at June 30, 2019, compared with $90 million at December 31, 2018.
Ford Credit 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 June 30, 2019, all else constant, such an increase in interest rates would increase its pre-tax cash flow by $21 million over the next 12 months, compared with an increase of $51 million at December 31, 2018. 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. James P. Hackett, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Tim Stone, 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 June 30, 2019, 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. Effective June 1, 2019, Tim Stone succeeded Bob Shanks as our Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Stone joined Ford on April 15, 2019. Mr. Shanks has elected to retire at the end of 2019.

We provide warranties on the vehicles we sell. Warranties are offered for specific periods of time and/or mileage, and vary depending upon the type of product and the geographic location of its sale. Pursuant to these warranties, we will repair, replace, or adjust all parts on a vehicle that are defective in factory-supplied materials or workmanship during the specified warranty period. We are a defendant in numerous actions in state and federal courts alleging damages based on state and federal consumer protection laws and breach of warranty obligations. Remedies under these statutes may include repurchase, civil penalties, and plaintiff’s attorney fees. In some cases, plaintiffs also include an allegation of fraud.
The cost of these matters is included in our warranty costs. We accrue obligations for warranty costs 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. We reevaluate the adequacy of our accruals on a regular basis.
As previously reported, we are currently a defendant in a significant number of litigation matters relating to the performance of vehicles equipped with DPS6 transmissions.
OTHER MATTERS
Transit Connect Customs Ruling (as previously reported on page 23 of our 2018 Form 10-K Report and in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 12, 2019). On March 8, 2013, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) ruled that Transit Connects imported as passenger wagons and later converted into cargo vans are subject to the 25% duty applicable to cargo vehicles, rather than the 2.5% duty applicable to passenger vehicles. As a result of the ruling, CBP is requiring Ford to pay the 25% duty upon importation of Transit Connects that will be converted to cargo vehicles, and is seeking the difference in duty rates for prior imports. Our protest of the ruling within CBP was denied, and we filed a challenge in the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”). On August 9, 2017, the CIT ruled in our favor. On October 6, 2017, CBP filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Federal Circuit”), and on June 7, 2019, a panel of three Federal Circuit judges ruled in favor of CBP. On July 22, 2019, we filed a petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc with the Federal Circuit. If we prevail, we will receive a refund of the contested amounts paid, plus interest. If we do not prevail, CBP would recover the increased duties for prior imports, plus interest, and might assert a claim for penalties.
Emissions Certification (as previously reported on page 70 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019). The Company has become aware of a potential concern involving its U.S. emissions certification process. This matter currently focuses on issues relating to road load estimations, including analytical modeling and coastdown testing. The potential concern does not involve the use of defeat devices (see page 10 of our 2018 Form 10-K Report for a definition of defeat devices). We voluntarily disclosed this matter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board on February 18, 2019 and February 21, 2019, respectively. Subsequently, the U.S. Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into the matter. In addition, we have notified a number of other state and federal agencies. We continue to cooperate fully with all government agencies. At this stage, we cannot predict the outcome, and we cannot provide assurance that it will not have a material adverse effect on us.
