FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.  PRESENTATION

Our financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. We show certain of our financial statements on both a consolidated and a sector basis for our Automotive and Financial Services sectors. Intercompany items have been eliminated in both the consolidated and sector balance sheets. Where the presentation of these intercompany eliminations or consolidated adjustments differs between the consolidated and sector financial statements, reconciliations of certain line items are explained below in this Note or in related footnotes.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements reflect a fair statement of the results of operations and financial condition of Ford Motor Company, its consolidated subsidiaries, and consolidated VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary 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, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K Report”).  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 reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Change in accounting. We provide medical, life, and income benefits to hourly and salary employees when they become disabled. As of January 1, 2014, we changed our accounting policy for these benefits from an event-driven model to a service-accrual model, such that our obligation now includes an estimated cost to be incurred for individuals who are disabled at the time of measurement (which was the amount recorded under our previous policy) as well as an amount that considers the probability that active employees will become disabled in the future. We believe this change in accounting method is preferable because it better aligns the recognition of expense with the periods in which the Company receives the benefit of the employees’ services, and will allow for better comparability with the method used by other companies in our industry.
We have retroactively applied this change in accounting method to all prior period amounts. As of December 31, 2012, the cumulative effect of the change decreased Total equity by $303 million and increased Other liabilities and deferred revenue by $468 million, as well as increased Deferred income taxes by $165 million. As of December 31, 2013, the cumulative effect of the change decreased Total equity by $271 million and increased Other liabilities and deferred revenue by $424 million, as well as increased Deferred income taxes by $153 million. The effect of this change was immaterial on income statement and statement of cash flow amounts for the interim periods ended June 30, 2014, and had no impact for the interim periods ended June 30, 2013.
 
Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Income Taxes - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. On January 1, 2014, we adopted the new accounting standard that requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a decrease in a deferred tax asset when a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists, and certain criteria are met. The new accounting standard is consistent with our prior practice, thus the adoption did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Currency Matters - Parent’s Accounting for Cumulative Translation Adjustment. On January 1, 2014, we adopted the new accounting standard that clarifies the applicable guidance for a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The new accounting standard is consistent with our prior practice, thus the adoption did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

Liabilities - Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. On January 1, 2014, we adopted the new accounting standard that provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. The adoption of this accounting standard did not impact our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

Venezuelan Operations

On February 13, 2013, the Venezuelan government effected a devaluation of the bolivar, from an exchange rate of 4.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar to an exchange rate of 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. This resulted in a remeasurement loss of $186 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Based on changes to Venezuelan currency exchange rate mechanisms in the first quarter of 2014, we changed the exchange rate we used to remeasure the financial statements of our Venezuelan subsidiaries in U.S. dollars. Beginning March 31, 2014, we now use the exchange rate determined by periodic auctions for U.S. dollars conducted under Venezuela’s Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (“SICAD I”). The exchange rate we used at March 31, 2014, was 10.8 bolivars to the U.S. dollar and resulted in a remeasurement loss of $316 million in the first quarter of 2014 ($310 million related to our Automotive sector and $6 million related to our Financial Services sector). At June 30, 2014, the SICAD I exchange rate was 10.6 bolivars to the U.S. dollar.

Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)
                                                                
FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.  PRESENTATION (Continued)

The operating environment in Venezuela continues to be challenging. Foreign exchange control regulations have affected our Venezuelan operation’s ability to pay dividends and obligations denominated in U.S. dollars and are constraining parts availability and our ability to maintain normal production. At June 30, 2014, our investment in our Venezuelan subsidiaries (which includes undistributed earnings) was $535 million. Also, at June 30, 2014, they had $281 million of U.S. dollar currency exchange requests pending with and in transit to the governmental controlled currency exchanges, including $275 million payable to other Ford consolidated affiliates.

At June 30, 2014, our Venezuelan subsidiaries had a bolivar-denominated net monetary position of $391 million, including $388 million of bolivar-denominated cash and cash equivalents. A further devaluation from an exchange rate of 10.6 bolivars to the U.S. dollar would result in a balance sheet remeasurement loss.

NOTE 2.  ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that requires recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard supersedes virtually all present U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition. The new standard requires the use of more estimates and judgments than the present standards and requires additional disclosures. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2017 and we are assessing the potential impact to our consolidated financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

Transfers and Servicing - Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings and Disclosures. In June 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements. The new standard also requires additional disclosures for certain transfers of financial assets with agreements that both entitle and obligate the transferor to repurchase the transferred assets from the transferee. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2015 and we do not expect it to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Stock Compensation - Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. In June 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that requires performance targets that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as performance conditions that affect the vesting of the award. The new accounting standard is effective as of January 1, 2016 and we do not expect it to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Cash equivalents, marketable securities, and derivative financial instruments are presented on our financial statements on a recurring basis at fair value, while other assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as when we have an asset impairment. There have been no changes to the types of inputs used or the valuation techniques since year end. During the second quarter of 2014, we impaired our equity in net assets of Ford Sollers Netherlands B.V. (“Ford Sollers”), which resulted in a fair value measurement on a non-recurring basis. See Note 8 for additional information.

NOTE 4.  FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES

Our Financial Services sector finance receivables primarily relate to Ford Credit, but also include the Other Financial Services segment and certain intersector eliminations.

Our Financial Services sector segments our finance receivables into North America and International “consumer” and “non-consumer” portfolios.  The receivables are generally secured by the vehicles, inventory, or other property being financed.

Finance receivables are recorded at the time of origination or purchase at fair value and are subsequently reported at amortized cost, net of any allowance for credit losses.
Consumer Portfolio.  Receivables in this portfolio include products offered to individuals and businesses that finance the acquisition of Ford and Lincoln vehicles from dealers for personal or commercial use.  Retail financing includes retail installment contracts for new and used vehicles and direct financing leases with retail customers, government entities, daily rental companies, and fleet customers.

Non-Consumer Portfolio. Receivables in this portfolio include products offered to automotive dealers.  The products include:

Dealer financing – includes wholesale loans to dealers to finance the purchase of vehicle inventory, also known as floorplan financing, as well as loans to dealers to finance working capital and improvements to dealership facilities, finance the purchase of dealership real estate, and finance other dealer programs. Wholesale financing is approximately 95% of dealer financing
Other – primarily related to the sale of parts and accessories to dealers

__________
(a)
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Finance receivables, net on the consolidated balance sheet were $80 billion and $77.5 billion, respectively. The balance is comprised of Financial Services sector finance receivables of $86 billion and $80.8 billion, respectively, net of $6 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, of receivables purchased by Financial Services sector from Automotive sector, which are reclassified to Other receivables, net.
(b)
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, excludes $1.7 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, of certain receivables (primarily direct financing leases) that are not subject to fair value disclosure requirements.

Excluded from finance receivables at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, was $182 million and $196 million, respectively, of accrued uncollected interest, which we report in Other assets on the balance sheet.

Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were North America consumer receivables of $20.8 billion and $21.8 billion and non-consumer receivables of $19.3 billion and $18.9 billion, respectively, and International consumer receivables of $5.9 billion and $5.9 billion and non-consumer receivables of $4.2 billion and $5 billion, respectively, that secure certain debt obligations. 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 of our Financial Services sector 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 (see Notes 7 and 11).

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 $13 million and $14 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was $6 million and $21 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Credit Quality

Consumer Portfolio. When originating all classes of consumer receivables, we use a proprietary scoring system that measures the credit quality of the receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g., FICO score), and contract characteristics. In addition to our proprietary scoring system, we consider other individual consumer factors, such as employment history, financial stability, and capacity to pay.
    
Subsequent to origination, we review the credit quality of retail financing based on customer payment activity. As each customer develops a payment history, we use an internally-developed behavioral scoring model to assist in determining the best collection strategies which allows us to focus collection activity on higher-risk accounts. These models are used to refine our risk-based staffing model to ensure collection resources are aligned with portfolio risk. Based on data from this scoring model, contracts are categorized by collection risk. Our collection models evaluate several factors, including origination characteristics, updated credit bureau data, and payment patterns.

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

Consumer receivables credit quality ratings are as follows:

Passcurrent to 60 days past due
Special Mention61 to 120 days past due and in intensified collection status
Substandardgreater 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

NOTE 4.  FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued)

Non-Consumer Portfolio. We extend credit to dealers primarily in the form of lines of credit to purchase new Ford and Lincoln vehicles as well as used vehicles. Payment is required when the dealer has sold the vehicle. Each non-consumer lending request is evaluated by taking into consideration the borrower’s financial condition and the underlying collateral securing the loan. We use a proprietary model to assign each dealer a risk rating. This model uses historical dealer performance data to identify key factors about a dealer that we consider most significant in predicting a dealer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. We also consider numerous other financial and qualitative factors of the dealer’s operations including capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability, and credit history with ourselves and other creditors. A dealer’s risk rating does not reflect any guarantees or a dealer owner’s net worth.

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

We suspend credit lines and extend no further funding to dealers classified in Group IV.

We regularly review our model to confirm the continued business significance and statistical predictability of the factors and update the model to incorporate new factors or other information that improves its statistical predictability. In addition, we regularly audit dealer inventory and dealer sales records to verify that the dealer is in possession of the financed vehicles and is promptly paying each receivable following the sale of the financed vehicle. The frequency of on-site vehicle inventory audits depends on factors such as the dealer’s risk rating and our security position. Under our policies, on-site vehicle inventory audits of low-risk dealers are conducted only as circumstances warrant. Audits of higher-risk dealers are conducted with increased frequency based on risk ratings and our security position. We perform a credit review of each dealer at least annually and adjust the dealer’s risk rating, if necessary.

The credit quality of dealer financing receivables is evaluated based on our internal dealer risk rating analysis. A dealer has the same risk rating for its entire dealer financing regardless of the type of financing.

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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $419 million, or 0.8% of consumer receivables, and $435 million, or 0.9% of consumer receivables, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $125 million, or 0.4% of non-consumer receivables, and $71 million, or 0.2% of the non-consumer receivables, respectively. Impaired finance receivables are evaluated both collectively and specifically. See Note 5 for additional information related to the development of our allowance for credit losses.

NOTE 4.  FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR FINANCE RECEIVABLES (Continued)

Non-Accrual Receivables. The accrual of revenue is discontinued at the earlier of the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible, at bankruptcy status notification, or greater than 120 days past due. Accounts may be restored to accrual status only when a customer settles all past-due deficiency balances and future payments are reasonably assured. For receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received. Payments are generally applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance.

The recorded investment of consumer receivables in non-accrual status was $216 million, or 0.4% of our consumer receivables at June 30, 2014, and $238 million, or 0.5% of consumer receivables at December 31, 2013. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables in non-accrual status was $102 million, or 0.3% of our non-consumer receivables at June 30, 2014, and $41 million, or 0.1% of non-consumer receivables at December 31, 2013.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. A restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if we grant a concession to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that we otherwise would not consider. Consumer and non-consumer receivables that have a modified interest rate below market rate or that were modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, except non-consumer receivables that are current with minimal risk of loss, are considered to be TDRs. We do not grant concessions on the principal balance of our receivables. If a receivable is modified in a reorganization proceeding, all payment requirements of the reorganization plan need to be met before remaining balances are forgiven. The outstanding recorded investment at time of modification for consumer receivables that are considered to be TDRs was $96 million, or 0.2% of consumer receivables, and $109 million, or 0.2% of consumer receivables, during the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The annualized subsequent default rate of TDRs that were previously modified in TDRs within the last 12 months and resulted in repossession for consumer receivable was 6.0% and 6.0% of TDRs at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no non-consumer receivables involved in TDRs during the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Finance receivables involved in TDRs are specifically assessed for impairment. An impairment charge is recorded as part of the provision to the allowance for credit losses for the amount that the recorded investment of the receivable exceeds its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either the present value of the expected future cash flows of the receivable discounted at the contract’s original effective interest rate, or, for receivables where foreclosure is probable, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for estimated costs to sell. The allowance for credit losses related to all active consumer TDRs was $22 million and $22 million at June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The allowance for credit losses related to all active non-consumer TDRs was de minimis at June 30, 2014 and 2013.

NOTE 6.  INVENTORIES

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for a substantial portion of U.S. inventories is determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. LIFO was used for 26% and 20% of total inventories at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Cost of other inventories is determined by costing methods that approximate a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis.

NOTE 7.  VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

VIEs of Which We are Not the Primary Beneficiary

We have invested in joint ventures that are VIEs and in which the power to direct economically significant activities is shared with the joint venture partner. Our investments in the joint ventures are accounted for as equity method investments. Our maximum exposure to any potential losses associated with these joint ventures is limited to our investment, and was $343 million and $336 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

VIEs of Which We are the Primary Beneficiary

Through Ford Credit, we securitize, transfer, and service financial assets associated with consumer finance receivables, operating leases, and wholesale loans. Our securitization transactions typically involve the legal transfer of financial assets to bankruptcy remote special purpose entities. The third-party investors in these securitization entities have legal recourse only to the assets securing the debt and do not have recourse to us, except for the customary representation and warranty provisions. In addition, the cash flows generated by the assets are restricted only to pay such liabilities. We generally retain economic interests in the asset-backed securitization transactions, which are retained in the form of senior or subordinated interests, cash reserve accounts, residual interests, and servicing rights. For accounting purposes, we are precluded from recording the transfers of assets in securitization transactions as sales.

In most cases, the bankruptcy remote special purpose entities meet the definition of VIEs for which we have determined we have both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be significant, and would therefore also be consolidated. We account for all securitization transactions as if they were secured financing and therefore the assets, liabilities and related activity of these VIEs are consolidated in our financial results and are included in amounts presented on the face of our consolidated balance sheet and in the related footnotes.

NOTE 8.  IMPAIRMENT OF EQUITY IN NET ASSETS OF AFFILIATED COMPANIES

We formed the Ford Sollers joint venture in October 2011, through which we operate in the Russian market. Upon contribution of our then wholly-owned operations in Russia to the joint venture, in exchange for cash and notes receivable in the amount of $307 million and a 50% equity ownership in the new joint venture, we deconsolidated the related assets and liabilities, recorded equity in net assets of Ford Sollers at its fair value of $364 million, and recognized a pre-tax gain of $401 million. The fair value was calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis with assumptions of relevant factors made at that time.

Recently, the Russian market has experienced a weaker ruble, lower industry volume, and industry segmentation changes that negatively impact sales of Focus. These factors have reduced expected cash flows for Ford Sollers in the near term, thereby reducing the fair value of our equity in net assets of affiliated companies. Accordingly, we recorded a $329 million pre-tax impairment at June 30, 2014. The non-cash charge was reported in Equity in net income of affiliated companies.

We measured the fair value of our equity in net assets of Ford Sollers using a discounted cash flow analysis. We used cash flows that reflect Ford Sollers present plan, aligned with assumptions a market participant would make. We assumed a discount rate of 15% based on the appropriate weighted average cost of capital, adjusted for perceived business risks related to regulatory concerns, political tensions, foreign exchange volatility, and risk associated with the Russian automotive industry.

NOTE 12.  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 various derivatives contracts:

Foreign currency exchange contracts, including forwards and options, that are used to manage foreign exchange exposure;
Commodity contracts, including forwards and options, that are used to manage commodity price risk;
Interest rate contracts including swaps, caps, and floors that are used to manage the effects of interest rate fluctuations; and
Cross-currency interest rate swap contracts that are used to manage foreign currency and interest rate exposures on foreign-denominated debt.
 
Our derivatives are over-the-counter customized derivative transactions and are not exchange-traded. We review our hedging program, derivative positions, and overall risk management strategy on a regular basis.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting. Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and presented on a gross basis.
 
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. Regardless, we only enter into transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying economic risk.

Cash Flow Hedges. Our Automotive sector has designated certain forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions with exposure to foreign currency exchange and commodity price risks.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and is recognized in Automotive cost of sales when the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion is reported in Automotive cost of sales in the period of measurement. Our policy is to de-designate foreign currency exchange cash flow hedges prior to the time forecasted transactions are recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and report subsequent changes in fair value through Automotive cost of sales. If it becomes probable that the originally-forecasted transaction will not occur, the related amount included in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) is reclassified and recognized in earnings. The majority of our cash flow hedges mature in two years or less.

Fair Value Hedges. Our Financial Services sector uses derivatives to reduce the risk of changes in the fair value of debt. We have designated certain receive-fixed, pay-float interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt. The risk being hedged is the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. If the hedge relationship is deemed to be highly effective, we record the changes in the fair value of the hedged debt related to the risk being hedged in Financial Services debt with the offset in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. The change in fair value of the related derivative (excluding accrued interest) also is recorded in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. Net interest settlements and accruals on fair value hedges are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and are reported in Interest expense. The cash flows associated with fair value hedges are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities on our statement of cash flows. 

Hedge ineffectiveness is the difference between the change in fair value of the derivative instrument and the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Ineffectiveness is recorded directly to income.

When a fair value hedge is de-designated, or when the derivative is terminated before maturity, the fair value adjustment to the hedged debt continues to be reported as part of the carrying value of the debt and is amortized over its remaining life.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments. Our Automotive sector reports changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments through Automotive cost of sales. Cash flows associated with non-designated or de-designated derivatives are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities on our statements of cash flows.

Our Financial Services sector reports net interest settlements and accruals and changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps not designated as hedging instruments in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. Foreign currency revaluation on accrued interest along with gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts and cross currency interest rate swaps are reported in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. Cash flows associated with non-designated or de-designated derivatives are reported in Net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities on our statements of cash flows.

Normal Purchases and Normal Sales Classification. We have elected to apply the normal purchases and normal sales classification for physical supply contracts that are entered into for the purpose of procuring commodities to be used in production over a reasonable period in the normal course of our business.

NOTE 12.  DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (Continued)

Counterparty Risk and Collateral

The use of derivatives exposes us to the risk that a counterparty may default on a derivative contract. We establish exposure limits for each counterparty to minimize this risk and provide counterparty diversification. Substantially all of our derivative exposures are with counterparties that have an investment grade rating. The aggregate fair value of our derivative instruments in asset positions on June 30, 2014 was $1 billion, representing the maximum loss that we would recognize at that date if all counterparties failed to perform as contracted. We enter into master agreements with counterparties that may allow for netting of exposures in the event of default or termination of the counterparty agreement due to breach of contract.

The gross and net amounts of derivative assets and liabilities were as follows (in millions):

We may receive or pledge cash collateral with certain counterparties based on our net position with regard to foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts, which is reported in Other assets or Payables on our consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not receive or pledge any cash collateral.

We include an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measurement of fair value of derivative instruments. Our adjustment for non-performance risk is relative to a measure based on an unadjusted inter-bank deposit rate (e.g., LIBOR). For our Automotive sector, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our adjustment decreased derivative assets by $1 million and $1 million, respectively, and decreased derivative liabilities by $1 million and $1 million, respectively. For our Financial Services sector, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our adjustment increased derivative assets by $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and decreased derivative liabilities by $5 million and $25 million, respectively. See Note 3 for more detail on valuation methodologies.

NOTE 13. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

AutoAlliance International, Inc. (“AAI”) is a 50/50 joint venture between Ford and Mazda Motor Corporation (“Mazda”) that owns an automobile assembly plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. On September 1, 2012, we granted to Mazda a put option to sell and received a call option to purchase from Mazda the 50% equity interest in AAI that is held by Mazda (the “Option”). The Option is exercisable at a price of $339 million and is recorded as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the mezzanine section of our balance sheet. As a result of an amendment in the second quarter of 2014, Mazda’s share in AAI is now redeemable by Ford or Mazda for a three-year period commencing in the fourth quarter of 2014, instead of September 1, 2015. The change in timing does not change the Option exercise price. The following table summarizes the change in our carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest for the periods ended June 30 (in millions):

NOTE 16.  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. When a plan of separation requires approval by or consultation with the relevant labor organization or government, the costs are recorded after the required approval or consultation process is complete. Costs associated with benefits that are contingent on the employee continuing to provide service are accrued over the required service period.

Automotive Sector

Business Restructuring - Europe

In October 2012, we committed to commence a transformation plan for our Europe operations. As part of this plan, we closed two manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom in 2013 and are in the process of closing our assembly plant in Genk, Belgium at the end of 2014. The Genk closure was subject to an information and consultation process with employee representatives, which was completed in June 2013. The costs related to these closures were recorded beginning in the second quarter of 2013.

Separation-related costs, recorded in Automotive cost of sales and Selling, administrative and other expenses, include both the costs associated with voluntary separation programs in the United Kingdom and involuntary employee actions at Genk, as well as payments to suppliers. The following table summarizes the separation-related activity recorded in Other liabilities and deferred revenue, for the periods ended June 30 (in millions):

Excludes $6 million and $12 million for the second quarter and first half of 2014, respectively, and $132 million and $132 million for the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively, of pension related costs.

Our current estimate of total separation-related costs for the U.K. and Genk facilities is approximately $1 billion, excluding approximately $200 million of pension-related costs. The separation related costs not yet recorded will be expensed as the employees and suppliers continue to support Genk plant operations.

NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES

For interim tax reporting we estimate one single effective tax rate for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or extraordinary items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

NOTE 18. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
 
Financial Services Sector

Assets Held for Sale

Other Financial Services Segment. During April 2013, we executed an agreement to sell certain Volvo-related retail financing receivables to a third-party financing company. The first tranche of receivables was sold in June 2013. We received cash proceeds of $250 million and we recognized a pre-tax gain of $5 million, which is reported in Financial Services other income/(loss), net. All servicing obligations transferred to the third party upon sale of the receivables.

NOTE 19.  CAPITAL STOCK AND AMOUNTS PER SHARE

We present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) amounts in our financial reporting.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to Common and Class B Stock holders by the weighted-average number of Common and Class B Stock outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the maximum potential dilution that could occur from our share-based compensation, including “in-the-money” stock options and unvested restricted stock units, and conversion into Ford Common Stock of our outstanding convertible notes.  Potential dilutive shares are excluded from the calculation if they have an anti-dilutive effect in the period.

Share Repurchase Program

In May 2014, our board of directors approved a repurchase program for up to approximately 116 million shares of Ford Common Stock, which will offset share dilution and help improve shareholder returns. Up to 12.6 million shares will be repurchased to offset the dilutive effect of share-based employee incentive compensation granted in 2014. In addition, up to 103 million shares will be repurchased to offset the dilutive effect of potential conversions of our 4.25% Senior Convertible Notes due November 15, 2016. Beginning November 20, 2014, and subject to certain limitations relating to the price of Ford Common Stock, we can terminate holders’ conversion rights. In that event, holders would have 30 days after notice to convert their shares. We have the right to settle any conversion with shares, cash, or a combination of shares and cash. Share repurchases under this program are intended to offset the dilutive effect of any shares we elect to issue to settle these potential conversions.

As of June 30, 2014, we have repurchased 57.6 million shares of Ford Common Stock under this program.

As a result, any 2036 Convertible Notes remaining after January 21, 2014 cannot be converted to shares and are no longer dilutive.

NOTE 20.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

Effective January 1, 2014, we changed our Automotive sector reportable segments to establish a fifth Automotive segment—Middle East & Africa—which includes South Africa and markets that were previously direct export markets in the Middle East and Africa regions. Previously, South Africa results were included in Asia Pacific Africa and direct export markets were reflected in the results of the producing region or segment. We have realigned reporting of our direct export markets on a geographic basis. Results for prior periods are presented on the new basis.

Our Automotive sector is comprised of the following segments:  North America, South America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific.  Included in each segment, described below, are the associated costs to develop, manufacture, distribute, and service vehicles and parts.

North America segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln brand vehicles and related service parts and accessories in North America.  

South America segment primarily includes the sale of Ford brand vehicles and related service parts and accessories in South America.

Europe segment primarily includes the sale of Ford brand vehicles, components, and related service parts and accessories in Europe, Turkey, and Russia.

Middle East & Africa segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln brand vehicles and related service parts and accessories in the Middle East and Africa region.

Asia Pacific segment primarily includes the sale of Ford brand vehicles and related service parts and accessories in the Asia Pacific region.

Automotive segment results are presented on a “where-sold,” absolute-cost basis, which reflects the profit/(loss) on the sale within the segment in which the ultimate sale is made to our external customer.  This presentation generally eliminates the effect of legal entity transfer prices within the Automotive sector for vehicles, components, and product engineering.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 21.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

Guarantees and Indemnifications

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 the guarantee or indemnification, the amount of probable payment is recorded.

We 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 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 the 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.

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

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.

Litigation and claims are accrued 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.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 21.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

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, and we do not believe that there is a reasonably possible outcome materially in excess of our accrual.

For the remaining matters, where our historical experience with similar matters is of more limited value (i.e., “non-pattern matters”), we evaluate 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 $3.2 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

Estimated warranty costs are accrued for at the time the vehicle is sold to a dealer. Included in warranty cost accruals are the costs for basic warranty coverages and field service actions (i.e., safety recalls, emission recalls, and other product campaigns) on products sold. These costs are estimates based primarily on historical warranty claim experience.

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 June 30, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

The accompanying sector balance sheets and the related sector statements of income and of cash flows are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the review procedures applied in the review of the basic financial statements.

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, 2013, 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 18, 2014, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for its disability benefits. The accompanying December 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet reflects the cumulative impact of this change.

Net income includes certain items (“special items”) that we have grouped into “Personnel and Dealer-Related Items” and “Other Items” to provide useful information to investors about the nature of the special items. The first category includes items related to our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix and therefore helps investors track amounts related to those activities. The second category includes items that we do not generally consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating activities, and therefore allows investors analyzing our pre-tax results to identify certain infrequent significant items that they may wish to exclude when considering the trend of ongoing operating results.

As detailed in Note 20 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, we allocate special items to a separate reconciling item, as opposed to allocating them among the operating segments and Other Automotive, reflecting the fact that management excludes these items from its review of operating segment results for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources among the segments.

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

Discussion of Automotive sector, Financial Services sector, and Company results of operations below is on a pre-tax basis and excludes special items unless otherwise specifically noted. References to records by Automotive segments are since at least 2000 when we began reporting specific segment results.
The chart below shows second quarter 2014 pre-tax results by sector:
Both the Automotive and Financial Services sectors contributed to the Company’s second quarter 2014 pre-tax profit of $2.6 billion. The year-over-year improvement is more than explained by the Automotive sector; all regions improved except South America. Compared with first quarter 2014, Company pre-tax profit was $1.2 billion higher, more than explained by the Automotive sector, largely reflecting the non-recurrence of several significant adverse factors that we highlighted last quarter.


41

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

AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

In general, we measure year-over-year change in Automotive pre-tax operating profit for our total Automotive sector and reportable segments using the causal factors listed below, with revenue 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 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, and special lease offers

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

Other Costs - primarily measures profit variance driven by absolute change in cost categories that typically do not have a directly proportionate relationship to production volume. These include mainly structural costs, described below, as well as all other costs, which include items such as litigation costs and costs related to our after-market parts, accessories, and service business. Structural costs include the following cost categories:
Manufacturing and Engineering - consists primarily of costs for hourly and salaried manufacturing- and engineering-related personnel, plant overhead (such as utilities and taxes), new product launch expense, prototype materials, 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) impact of gains or losses arising from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the locations, including currency transactions, (ii) effect of remeasuring income, assets, and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries using U.S. dollars as the functional currency, or (iii) results of our foreign currency hedging activities

Net Interest and Other
Net Interest - primarily measures profit variance driven by changes in our Automotive sector’s centrally-managed net interest, which consists of interest expense, interest income, fair market value adjustments on our cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio (excluding our investment in Mazda), and other adjustments
Other - consists of fair market value adjustments to our investment in Mazda, as well as other items not included in the causal factors defined above


42

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

Total Automotive. The following charts detail second quarter key metrics and the change in the second quarter of 2014 pre-tax results compared with the second quarter of 2013 by causal factor. Automotive operating margin is defined as Automotive pre-tax results, excluding special items and Other Automotive, divided by Automotive revenue.
As shown above, wholesale volume in the second quarter decreased by 1% compared with a year ago, and Automotive revenue decreased by 2%. The lower volume is more than explained by lower market share in all regions except Asia Pacific. Global industry seasonally-adjusted annual rate or SAAR is estimated at 87.3 million units, up 3% from a year ago. Our global market share is estimated at 7.5%, down two-tenths of a percentage point. Operating margin was 6.6%, up two-tenths of a percentage point, and Automotive pre-tax profit was $2.2 billion, up $66 million.

As shown in the memo below the chart, first half volume was up 2% from a year ago while Automotive revenue was down 1%. Operating margin, at 5%, was down eight-tenths of a percentage point. Total Automotive pre-tax profit, at $3.1 billion, was down $658 million.

43

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

The $66 million improvement in Automotive pre-tax profit for the second quarter of 2014, compared with second quarter of 2013, is more than explained by lower costs and favorable market factors; adverse exchange, driven by South America, was a partial offset.

As shown in the memo, pre-tax profit was $1.3 billion higher than in the first quarter, more than explained by favorable volume and mix and the non-repeat of the significant adverse factors that we highlighted in the first quarter.

Total costs and expenses. In the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, total costs and expenses, including special items, for our Automotive sector were $33.8 billion and $35 billion, respectively, a difference of $1.2 billion; for first half 2014 and 2013 these were $67.3 billion and $67.5 billion, respectively, a difference of $200 million.

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

Results by Automotive Segment. Details by segment of pre-tax results for the second quarter of 2014 are shown below.
North America and Asia Pacific were strongly profitable, with the former reporting a record quarterly profit and the latter a record second quarter profit. Middle East & Africa and Europe also were profitable, while South America reported a loss.

Other Automotive primarily reflected net interest expense. For the full year, we continue to expect net interest expense to be about $700 million.


45

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

North America Segment. The following charts detail second quarter key metrics and the change in the second quarter of 2014 pre-tax results compared with the second quarter of 2013 by causal factor.

North America’s second quarter pre-tax profit continued to be driven by robust industry sales, our strong product line-up, continued discipline in matching production to demand, and a lean cost structure—even as we continue to invest for future growth.

Wholesale volume and revenue declined 5% and 3%, respectively, from a year ago. The volume decrease is explained by lower market share and an unfavorable change in dealer stocks, offset partially by higher industry sales. The U.S. industry SAAR of 16.9 million units in the second quarter was 1.2 million units higher than a year ago. Our U.S. market share deteriorated 1.2 percentage points, to 15.3%, reflecting primarily a planned reduction in daily rental sales; lower F-Series share as we continue to balance share, transaction prices, and stocks as we prepare for the new F-150; and lower Edge and Focus share. Although not shown, U.S. retail market share of the retail industry was 12.9% in the second quarter, down eight-tenths of a percentage point from a year ago, explained primarily by lower F-Series, Edge, and Focus.

The decline in revenue is more than explained by the lower wholesale volume and a weaker Canadian dollar, offset partially by favorable mix. North America operating margin was 11.6%, up 1 percentage point from last year, and pre-tax profit was a record $2.4 billion, up $119 million.

As shown in the memo below the chart, all first half metrics declined from a year ago. The adverse first quarter impact of $500 million associated with changes in warranty reserves and weather-related premium costs explains the majority of the lower profit and operating margin.

46

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

The second quarter 2014 improvement in pre-tax profit compared with the second quarter of 2013 is more than explained by lower costs and higher parts and accessories profit.

As shown in the memo, pre-tax profit was higher than first quarter, more than explained by favorable market factors and non-recurrence of the significant adverse factors experienced in the first quarter.

For the full year, we continue to expect North America’s pre-tax profit to be lower than 2013, and operating margin to range from 8% to 9%. Our guidance includes 13 weeks of production downtime this year for the launch of the new F-150, including the summer shutdown at our Dearborn and Kansas City plants. Three weeks of downtime occurred in the first quarter, and at the Dearborn plant, eight consecutive weeks of downtime are planned beginning in late August. The Kansas City summer shutdown in July and a few individual down days in the second half make up the remainder of the downtime.


47

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

South America Segment. The following charts detail second quarter key metrics and the change in the second quarter of 2014 pre-tax results compared with the second quarter of 2013 by causal factor.

In South America, we are continuing to execute our strategy of expanding our product lineup and progressively replacing legacy products with global One Ford offerings. We also are continuing to manage the effects of slowing GDP growth and lower industry volume in our larger markets, weaker currencies, high inflation, as well as policy uncertainty in some countries.

In the second quarter, wholesale volume and revenue decreased from a year ago by 22% and 30%, respectively.
The lower volume is primarily explained by an 800,000-unit decline from last year’s SAAR of 6.1 million units. This includes the impact of the weakening economy in Brazil, import restrictions in Argentina, and lower production in Venezuela resulting from limited availability of U.S. dollars. South America market share, at 8.8%, was down three-tenths of a percentage point, more than explained by the model changeover of Ka and the phase out of Fiesta Classic.

The revenue decline is explained primarily by lower volume and unfavorable exchange, offset partially by higher net pricing. Operating margin was negative 14%, down significantly from a year ago, and pre-tax loss was $295 million, a deterioration of $446 million.

As shown in the memo below the chart, all first half metrics deteriorated from a year ago.

48

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

South America’s second quarter pre-tax results declined from a year ago. All factors were unfavorable with the exception of pricing, which did not offset fully the adverse effects of weaker currencies and high local inflation.

As shown in the memo, pre-tax results improved compared with first quarter, more than explained by favorable exchange, mainly non-repeat of adverse balance sheet exchange effects in Venezuela and Argentina.

For the full year, we now expect South America to incur a larger loss than we previously guided. Although we continue to expect higher market share and positive net pricing in the second half as we launch the all-new Ka small car, we now expect the rest of the year to be about breakeven to a loss due to lower-than-expected industry volumes and weaker currencies. The volatility in the region, including the potential of currency devaluations, adds uncertainty to our short-term projections.


49

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

Europe Segment. The following charts detail second quarter key metrics and the change in the second quarter of 2014 pre-tax results compared with the second quarter of 2013 by causal factor.

In Europe, we continue to implement our transformation plan focused on product, brand, and cost and remain on track to achieve profitability in 2015.

Europe’s wholesale volume was about unchanged from a year ago, while revenue improved 10%. Europe 20 industry SAAR was 14.4 million units, up 700,000 units from a year ago. This was offset partially by industry declines in Russia and Turkey. Europe 20 market share, at 7.9%, was down two-tenths of a percentage point from a year ago, reflecting primarily a reduction in rental and fleet share, as well as adverse industry segmentation in passenger car. Although not shown, our commercial vehicle share improved in the second quarter to 10.6%, up half a percentage point from a year ago to our highest second quarter share since 1997; this was driven by our refreshed and expanded range of Transit products. Also not shown, passenger car share of the retail segment of the five major European markets was 8.3% in the second quarter, down one-tenth of a percentage point from the same period last year, more than explained by adverse industry segmentation.

The increase in revenue mainly reflects higher volume in the Europe 20 markets and favorable exchange, offset partially by unfavorable mix. Europe’s operating margin was two-tenths of a percent, an improvement of 4.4 percentage points from a year ago, and pre-tax profit was $14 million, a $320 million improvement.

As shown in the memo below the chart, all first half metrics improved from a year ago.

50

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

The improvement in second quarter pre-tax results is more than explained by lower costs and favorable exchange. Partial offsets include lower results and royalties from our joint ventures, primarily our Russia joint venture, along with lower parts and accessories profit. Restructuring costs were lower than a year ago, primarily due to a reserve release this quarter associated with our Cologne investment agreement and non-recurrence of a facility write-off in Genk last year.

As shown in the memo below the chart, pre-tax results improved compared with first quarter, more than explained by lower costs and favorable market factors.

We are very encouraged by Europe’s first quarterly profit since 2011. This supports our unchanged full year guidance for the region, which is for results to improve compared with 2013. Consistent with the normal seasonality of sales and production, we expect our second half loss to be higher than the first half loss of $180 million. Lower second half wholesale volumes of about 100,000 units include the effect of summer shutdowns in the third quarter and year-end shutdowns in the fourth quarter. In addition, we expect higher restructuring-related costs in the second half, including the non-repeat of a reserve release, and higher launch-related costs with start of production of the all-new Mondeo and the new Focus.

With regard to Russia, the current environment is difficult, but Russia remains a large and important market. We are working with our partner in Ford Sollers to develop actions to improve our business outlook.

Middle East & Africa Segment. The following chart details second quarter key metrics.
Middle East & Africa, our newest business unit, was created to better serve customers and expand in this fast-growing region. We are intensifying our focus and targeting opportunities for growth in small, mid-size, and large vehicle segments.

In the second quarter, we wholesaled 49,000 vehicles in the region, 3,000 fewer units than a year ago. Revenue, at $1.1 billion, was $100 million lower. The lower volume primarily reflects lower market share, driven by increased competitive pressures on Expedition in the Middle East. The lower revenue is explained by the lower volume and unfavorable exchange. Operating margin was 2%, up nine-tenths of a percentage point from a year ago, and pre-tax profit was $23 million, up $10 million.

As shown in the memo below the chart, first half volume and revenue deteriorated from a year ago, but operating margin and pre-tax profit improved.

Our full year guidance for Middle East & Africa remains unchanged—we expect results to be about breakeven with quarterly variability driven by factors such as the timing of production, mix of vehicles, and long shipping times.

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

Asia Pacific Segment. The following charts detail second quarter key metrics and the change in the second quarter of 2014 pre-tax results compared with the second quarter of 2013 by causal factor.

Our strategy in Asia Pacific continues to be to grow aggressively with an expanding portfolio of One Ford products with manufacturing hubs in China, India, and ASEAN.

Second quarter wholesale volume was up 21% compared with a year ago, and net revenue—which excludes our China joint ventures—grew 9%. Our China wholesale volume, not shown, was up 26% in the quarter. The higher volume in the region primarily reflects higher market share and industry volume. We estimate second quarter SAAR for the region at 39.6 million units, up 2.2 million units from a year ago, explained by China. Our second quarter market share was 3.7%, four-tenths of a percentage point higher than a year ago. This was driven by China where our market share improved three-tenths of a percentage point to a record 4.6%, reflecting continued strong sales of Mondeo, Fiesta, and Kuga.

Asia Pacific’s higher revenue is explained primarily by higher volume and favorable mix. Operating margin was 5.5%, up six-tenths of a percentage point from a year ago, and pre-tax profit was $159 million, up $29 million and a second quarter record.

As shown in the memo below the chart, all first half metrics improved substantially from a year earlier.


53

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

Second quarter 2014 pre-tax profits improved from a year ago, more than explained by favorable volume and mix.

As shown in the memo, Asia Pacific pre-tax results declined from first quarter, more than explained by higher costs. These cost increases include higher warranty costs and continued investment in growth, including costs associated with six plants—one that opened in China during the quarter and five plants still under construction in the region.

For the full year, we continue to expect Asia Pacific to earn a higher pre-tax profit than a year ago. We expect full year results will be strong for the region, with each of third and fourth quarter results down from second quarter. Volume improvements will be more than offset by higher costs as we continue to invest for future growth, including the five plants under construction in China and India and the launch of Lincoln in China this fall.

FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR

As shown in the total Company discussion above, we present our Financial Services sector results in two segments, Ford Credit and Other Financial Services. Ford Credit, in turn, has two operations, North America and International.

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

Volume:
Volume primarily measures changes in net financing margin driven by changes in average finance receivables and net investment in operating leases at prior period financing margin yield (defined below in financing margin).
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.

Financing Margin:
Financing margin variance is the period-to-period change in financing margin yield multiplied by the present period average receivables. Financing margin yield equals revenue, less interest expense and scheduled depreciation for the period, divided by average 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 measures changes in the provision for credit losses. For analysis purposes, management splits the provision for credit losses primarily 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 2013 Form 10-K Report.

Lease Residual:
Lease residual measures changes to residual performance. 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 of the vehicles sold. Changes in accumulated supplemental depreciation are primarily driven by changes in Ford Credit’s estimate of the number of vehicles that will be returned to it and sold, and changes in the estimate of the expected auction value at the end of the lease term. 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 2013 Form 10-K Report.

Other:
Primarily includes operating expenses, other revenue, and insurance expenses.
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.



55

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

Ford Credit. The chart below details the change in second quarter of 2014 pre-tax results compared with second quarter of 2013 by causal factor.

Ford Credit is an integral part of our global growth and value creation strategy. Ford Credit provides world-class dealer and customer financial services, supported by a strong balance sheet, providing solid profits and distributions to Ford.

The lower pre-tax profit for the second quarter of 2014 compared to a year ago is more than explained by a higher level of insurance losses from storm damage to dealer inventory, included in other in the chart above. Volume was higher, reflecting increases in nearly all products: leasing in North America, and both consumer and non-consumer finance receivables in all geographic segments. The higher volume was offset largely by unfavorable lease residual performance related to expectations of lower auction values in the North America lease portfolio, and all of the other factors.

As shown in the memo, pre-tax profit was lower compared with the first quarter, more than explained by the insurance losses in the second quarter.

For the full year, we now expect Ford Credit’s pre-tax profit to be higher than 2013, improved from about equal to or higher than 2013. We also now expect year-end managed receivables of $112 billion to $115 billion, up from our prior guidance of about $110 billion. We continue to expect Ford Credit’s managed leverage to be in the range of 8:1 to 9:1, and distributions of about $250 million.

(a)
Dealer financing primarily includes wholesale loans to dealers to finance the purchase of vehicle inventory.
(b)
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, includes consumer receivables before allowance for credit losses of $26.7 billion and
$27.7 billion, respectively, and non-consumer receivables before allowance for credit losses of $23.5 billion and $23.9 billion, respectively, that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in Ford Credit’s consolidated financial statements. In addition, at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, includes net investment in operating leases before allowance for credit losses of $9 billion and $8.1 billion, respectively, that have been included in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in Ford Credit’s financial statements. The receivables and net investment in operating leases 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 Ford Credit’s other obligations or the claims of its 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.

Managed receivables at June 30, 2014 increased from year-end 2013, primarily driven by increases in non-consumer and consumer finance receivables in all geographic segments and leasing in North America.









57

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

Credit Losses. The charts below detail (i) quarterly trends of charge-offs (credit losses, net of recoveries), (ii) loss-to-receivables (“LTR”) ratios (charge-offs on an annualized basis divided by average end-of-period (“EOP”) managed receivables), (iii) credit loss reserve, and (iv) Ford Credit’s credit loss reserve as a percentage of EOP managed receivables:

Year-over-year charge-offs were largely unchanged. Quarter-over-quarter charge-offs were down $19 million, consistent with normal seasonality. The LTR ratio was two basis points lower than the same period a year ago, and eight basis points lower than the prior quarter. The LTR ratio of 12 basis points is well below the 10-year average of 54 basis points.

The credit loss reserve was $353 million, down $23 million from a year ago, reflecting the continuation of low losses.

In purchasing retail finance and operating lease contracts, Ford Credit uses a proprietary scoring system that classifies contracts using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g., FICO score), and contract characteristics. In addition to Ford Credit’s proprietary scoring system, it considers other factors, such as employment history, financial stability, and capacity to pay. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Ford Credit classified between 5% and 6% of the outstanding U.S. retail finance and operating lease contracts in its portfolio as high risk at contract inception. For additional information, see the “Critical Accounting Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2013 Form 10-K Report.
    
Residual Risk. Ford Credit is exposed to residual risk on operating leases and similar balloon payment products where the customer may return the financed vehicle to Ford Credit. Residual risk is the possibility that the amount Ford Credit obtains from returned vehicles will be less than its estimate of the expected residual value for the vehicle. Ford Credit estimates the expected residual value by evaluating recent auction values, return volumes for its leased vehicles, industry-wide used vehicle prices, marketing incentive plans, and vehicle quality data. Changes in expected residual values impact the depreciation expense, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. For additional information, see the “Critical Accounting Estimates - Accumulated Depreciation on Vehicles Subject to Operating Leases” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 2013 Form 10-K Report.

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

U.S. Ford and Lincoln Brand Operating Lease Experience. The following charts show return volumes and auction values at constant second quarter 2014 vehicle mix for vehicles returned in the respective periods. The U.S. operating lease portfolio accounted for about 87% of Ford Credit’s total net investment in operating leases at June 30, 2014.
Lease return volumes in the second quarter of 2014 were 23,000 units higher than the same period last year, primarily reflecting higher lease placements in 2011 and 2012 compared with prior years. The second quarter lease return rate was 75%, up seven percentage points compared with the same period last year, primarily reflecting a higher percent of vehicles with a lease-end purchase price above market value.

In the second quarter of 2014, Ford Credit’s auction values for 24-month contracts increased by about $100 while 36-month average auction values increased by about $1,000 compared to the same period last year, consistent with industry trends. The differences in Ford Credit’s 24-month and 36-month auction value increases primarily reflect differences in vehicle content. Both Ford Credit’s 24-month and 36-month auction values increased from the first quarter of 2014, consistent with industry trends.
    
Ford Credit’s worldwide net investment in operating leases was $19.9 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2014, up about $1.6 billion from year-end 2013, and up $3.7 billion from a year ago.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Automotive Sector

Our Automotive liquidity strategy includes ensuring that we have sufficient liquidity available with a high degree of certainty throughout the business cycle by generating cash from operations and maintaining access to other sources of funding. We target to have an average ongoing Automotive gross 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, or restructuring requirements, (ii) short-term timing differences, and (iii) changes in the global economic environment. In addition, we also target to maintain a revolving credit facility for our Automotive business of up to about $10 billion to protect against exogenous shocks. Our revolving credit facility is discussed below.

We assess the appropriate long-term target for total Automotive liquidity, comprised of Automotive gross cash and the revolving 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. Our Automotive gross cash and Automotive liquidity targets could be reduced over time based on improved operating performance and changes in our risk profile.
For a discussion of risks to our liquidity, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2013 Form 10-K Report, as well as Note 20 of the Notes to the Financial Statements regarding commitments and contingencies that could impact our liquidity.

__________
(a)
The purchase or sale of marketable securities for which the cash settlement was not made by period-end and a payable or receivable was recorded on the balance sheet.

Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are held primarily in highly liquid investments, which provide for anticipated and unanticipated cash needs. Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities 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 ranges from about 90 days to up to about one year, and is adjusted based on market conditions and liquidity needs. We monitor our cash levels and average maturity on a daily basis. Of our total Automotive gross cash at June 30, 2014, 86% was held by consolidated entities domiciled in the United States.

In managing our business, we classify changes in Automotive gross cash into operating-related and other items (which includes the impact of certain special items, contributions to funded pension plans, certain tax-related transactions, acquisitions and divestitures, capital transactions with the Financial Services sector, dividends paid to shareholders, and other—primarily financing-related). Our key liquidity metrics are operating-related cash flow (which best represents the ability of our Automotive operations to generate cash), Automotive gross cash, and Automotive liquidity.

We believe the cash flow analysis reflected in the table below is useful to investors because it includes in operating-related cash flow elements that we consider to be related to our Automotive operating activities (e.g., capital spending) and excludes cash flow elements that we do not consider to be related to the ability of our operations to generate cash. This differs from a cash flow statement prepared in accordance with GAAP and differs from Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

_________
(a)
Working capital comprised of changes in receivables, inventory, and trade payables.
(b)
Primarily expense and payment timing differences for items such as pension and OPEB, compensation, marketing, warranty, and timing differences between unconsolidated affiliate profits and dividends received. Also includes other factors, such as the impact of tax payments and vehicle financing activities between Automotive and FSG sectors.
(c)
Primarily distributions from Ford Holdings (Ford Credit’s parent) and tax payments received from Ford Credit.
(d)
In the second quarter of 2014, we used about $850 million in cash to settle repurchases of 52.2 million shares of Ford common stock; an additional 5.4 million shares were repurchased on or prior to June 30, 2014, but were settled after that date for about $90 million in cash. 

With respect to “Changes in working capital,” in general we carry relatively low Automotive sector 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. In addition, 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.

Credit Agreement. Lenders under our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 30, 2014 (the “revolving credit facility”) have commitments to us totaling $12.2 billion, with about $9 billion maturing on April 30, 2019 and about $3 billion maturing on April 30, 2017. We have allocated $2 billion of commitments to Ford Credit on an irrevocable and exclusive basis to support its liquidity. Any borrowings by Ford Credit under the revolving credit facility would be guaranteed by us.

The revolving 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 revolving 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 revolving credit 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 “Company” below), the guarantees of certain subsidiaries will be required.

At June 30, 2014, the utilized portion of the revolving credit facility was $59 million, representing amounts utilized as letters of credit.

U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturer (“ATVM”) Incentive Program. In September 2009, we entered into a Loan Arrangement and Reimbursement Agreement (“Arrangement Agreement”) with the DOE, under which we borrowed through multiple draws $5.9 billion to finance certain costs for fuel-efficient, advanced-technology vehicles. At June 30, 2014, an aggregate of $4.7 billion was outstanding. The principal amount of the ATVM loan bears interest at a blended rate based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time each draw was made (with the weighted-average interest rate on all such draws being about 2.3% per annum). The ATVM loan is repayable in equal quarterly installments of $148 million, which began in September 2012 and will end in June 2022.

European Investment Bank (“EIB”) Loans.  On December 21, 2009, Ford Romania, our operating subsidiary in Romania, entered into a credit facility for an aggregate amount of €400 million (equivalent to $546 million at June 30, 2014) with the EIB (the “EIB Romania Facility”), and on July 12, 2010, Ford Motor Company Limited, our operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom (“Ford of Britain”), entered into a credit facility for an aggregate amount of £450 million (equivalent to $767 million at June 30, 2014) with the EIB (the “EIB United Kingdom Facility”).  The facilities were fully drawn at June 30, 2014.  Loans under the EIB Romania Facility and the EIB United Kingdom Facility bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.44% and 4% per annum, respectively, and mature on March 31, 2015 and September 11, 2015, respectively.  Proceeds of loans drawn under the EIB Romania Facility have been used to fund upgrades to a vehicle plant in Romania, and proceeds of loans drawn under the EIB United Kingdom Facility have been used to fund costs for the research and development of fuel-efficient engines and commercial vehicles with lower emissions, and upgrades to an engine manufacturing plant in the United Kingdom.  The loans under each facility are non-amortizing loans secured by respective guarantees from the governments of Romania and the United Kingdom for approximately 80% and from us for approximately 20% of the outstanding principal amounts.  Ford Romania and Ford of Britain have each pledged fixed assets, receivables and/or inventory to the governments of Romania and the United Kingdom as collateral, and we have pledged 50% of the shares of Ford Romania to the government of Romania and guaranteed Ford of Britain’s obligations to the government of the United Kingdom. 

Export-Import Bank of the United States (“Ex-Im”) and Private Export Funding Corporation (“PEFCO”) Secured Revolving Loan. On June 16, 2014, we fully repaid this $300 million working capital facility, which supported vehicle exports from the United States.

Other Automotive Credit Facilities. At June 30, 2014, we had $862 million of local credit facilities available to non-U.S. Automotive affiliates, of which $103 million had been utilized.

Total debt at June 30, 2014 was $300 million lower than December 31, 2013, primarily reflecting two quarterly installment payments on the ATVM loan which totaled about $300 million and the repayment of the $300 million Ex-Im facility, partially offset by a $300 million increase in affiliate debt. We continue to expect to reduce Automotive debt levels to about $10 billion by mid-decade. We plan to achieve this reduction by using cash from operations to make quarterly installment payments on the ATVM loan, repay the EIB loan at maturity, and take other debt reduction actions, such as causing conversions of and redeeming our outstanding convertible debt, and repurchasing other outstanding debt securities.

Liquidity Sufficiency. One of the four key priorities of our One Ford plan is to finance our plan and improve our balance sheet, while at the same time having resources available to grow our business. The actions described above are consistent with this priority. Based on our planning assumptions, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to continue to invest in new products that customers want and value, transform and grow our business, pay our debts and obligations as and when they come due, pay a sustainable dividend, and provide protection within an uncertain global economic environment.

Based on improved near-term 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 at least $7.5 billion annually. Our capital spending was $6.6 billion in 2013.

We will continue to work to strengthen further our balance sheet and improve our investment grade ratings; the amount of incremental capital required to do this will diminish over time as we achieve our target debt levels and fully fund and de-risk our global funded pension plans.

Financial Services Sector

Ford Credit

Funding Overview. Ford Credit’s funding strategy remains focused on diversification, and it plans to continue accessing a variety of markets, channels, and investors.

The following chart shows the trends in the funding of Ford Credit’s managed receivables:

At the end of the second quarter of 2014, managed receivables were $111 billion, and Ford Credit ended the quarter with about $9 billion in cash. Securitized funding was 40% of managed receivables.

Ford Credit is projecting 2014 year-end managed receivables of $112 billion to $115 billion and securitized funding as a percentage of managed receivables in the range of 36% to 40%. This percentage will continue to decline going forward.

Public Term Funding Plan. The following table illustrates Ford Credit’s planned issuances for full-year 2014, its public term funding issuances through July 30, 2014, and its funding issuances for full-year 2013 and 2012 (in billions), excluding short-term funding programs:

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

Through July 30, 2014, Ford Credit completed $18 billion of public term funding in the United States, Canada, Europe, and China, including about $8 billion of unsecured debt and $10 billion of securitizations. In the United States, Ford Credit completed its inaugural revolving securitization under the Ford Credit Revolving Extended Variable-utilization program (FordREV), a $1 billion transaction with a 5-year maturity.  Under this program, the asset-backed security may be supported by a combination of a revolving portfolio of retail receivables and cash collateral.  Any accumulated cash collateral in the program is available through future sales of receivables, subject to certain eligibility and asset performance criteria.   

For 2014, Ford Credit projects full-year public term funding in the range of $24 billion to $29 billion, consisting of $10 billion to $13 billion of unsecured debt and $14 billion to $16 billion of public securitizations.

(d)

At June 30, 2014, Ford Credit had $46.5 billion of committed capacity and cash diversified across a variety of markets and platforms. The utilization of its liquidity totaled $18.7 billion at quarter end, compared with $22.8 billion at year-end 2013. The decrease of $4.1 billion reflects lower securitization cash and the termination of the FCAR program.

Ford Credit ended the quarter with gross liquidity of $27.8 billion. Adjustments of $0.9 billion included other committed ABS lines in excess of eligible receivables and certain cash within FordREV available through future sales of receivables. Total liquidity available for use continues to remain strong at $26.9 billion at quarter end, $5.5 billion higher than year-end 2013. Ford Credit is focused on maintaining liquidity levels that meet its business and funding requirements through economic cycles.

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

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities.  At June 30, 2014, Ford Credit’s cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (excluding marketable securities related to insurance activities) totaled $9.3 billion, compared with $10.8 billion at year-end 2013.  In the normal course of its funding activities, Ford Credit may generate more proceeds than are required for its immediate funding needs.  These excess amounts are maintained primarily as highly liquid investments, which provide liquidity for its short-term funding needs and give it flexibility in the use of its other funding programs.  Ford Credit’s cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are held primarily in highly liquid investments, which provide for anticipated and unanticipated cash needs.  Ford Credit’s cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (excluding marketable securities related to insurance activities) primarily include U.S. Treasury obligations, federal agency securities, bank time deposits with investment-grade institutions and non-U.S. central banks, corporate investment-grade securities, A-1/P-1 (or higher) rated commercial paper, debt obligations of a select group of non-U.S. governments, non-U.S. government agencies, supranational institutions, and money market funds that carry the highest possible ratings.  The maturity of these investments ranges from about 90 days to up to about one year and is adjusted based on market conditions and liquidity needs.  Ford Credit monitors its cash levels and average maturity on a daily basis.  Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities include amounts to be used only to support Ford Credit’s securitization transactions of $2.5 billion and $4.4 billion at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Ford Credit’s substantial liquidity and cash balance have provided it the opportunity to selectively call and repurchase its unsecured and asset-backed debt through market transactions. In the second quarter and first half of 2014, Ford Credit called an aggregate principal amount of $21 million and $216 million, respectively, (of which none were maturing in 2014) of its unsecured debt.

Committed Liquidity Programs. Ford Credit and its subsidiaries, including FCE Bank plc (“FCE”), have entered into agreements with a number of bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduits (“conduits”) and other financial institutions. Such counterparties are contractually committed, at Ford Credit’s option, to purchase from Ford Credit eligible retail or wholesale assets or to purchase or make advances under asset-backed securities backed by retail financing, operating leases, or wholesale financing assets for proceeds of up to $33.5 billion ($21.8 billion of retail financing, $7.2 billion of wholesale financing, and $4.5 billion of operating lease assets) at June 30, 2014, of which $5.8 billion are commitments to FCE. These committed liquidity programs have varying maturity dates, with $20.9 billion (of which $5.2 billion relates to FCE commitments) having maturities within the next twelve months and the remaining balance having maturities in 2015 and 2016. Ford Credit plans to achieve capacity renewals to protect its global funding needs, optimize capacity utilization, and maintain sufficient liquidity.
 
Ford Credit’s ability to obtain funding under these programs is subject to having a sufficient amount of assets eligible for these programs as well as its ability to obtain interest rate hedging arrangements for certain securitization transactions. Ford Credit’s capacity in excess of eligible receivables protects it against the risk of lower than planned renewal rates. At June 30, 2014, $16.1 billion of these commitments were in use. These programs are free of material adverse change clauses, restrictive financial covenants (for example, debt-to-equity limitations and minimum net worth requirements), and generally, credit rating triggers that could limit Ford Credit’s ability to obtain funding. However, the unused portion of these commitments may be terminated if the performance of the underlying assets deteriorates beyond specified levels. Based on Ford Credit’s experience and knowledge as servicer of the related assets, Ford Credit does not expect any of these programs to be terminated due to such events.

Credit Facilities. At June 30, 2014, Ford Credit and its majority-owned subsidiaries had $3.7 billion of contractually committed unsecured credit facilities with financial institutions, including the Amended FCE Credit Agreement (as defined below) and the allocation under our revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2014, $3.6 billion was available for use.

Effective June 27, 2014, FCE and the lenders under its syndicated credit facility amended the facility (the “Amended FCE Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which maturity was extended to October 25, 2017 and total commitments were increased to £760 million (equivalent to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2014). The Amended FCE Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including an obligation for FCE to maintain its ratio of regulatory capital to risk-weighted assets at no less than the applicable regulatory minimum, and for the support agreement between FCE and Ford Credit to remain in full force and effect (and enforced by FCE to ensure that its net worth is maintained at no less than $500 million). In addition to customary payment, representation, bankruptcy, and judgment defaults, the Amended FCE Credit Agreement contains cross-payment and cross-acceleration defaults with respect to other debt.

As described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Automotive Sector,” we have allocated $2 billion of commitments under the revolving credit facility to Ford Credit to grow its overall liquidity, supporting growth and expanded funding programs.

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. Ford Credit refers to its shareholder’s interest as equity.

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

Company

Equity. At June 30, 2014, Total equity attributable to Ford Motor Company was $26.8 billion, an increase of about $700 million compared with December 31, 2013. The increase primarily reflects favorable changes in Retained earnings, related to first half 2014 Net income attributable to Ford Motor Company of $2.3 billion, offset partially by cash dividends declared of $1 billion; favorable changes in Capital in excess of par value of stock, related to compensation-related equity issuances of $200 million; favorable changes in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) of $100 million; and an increase in Treasury stock related to stock re-purchases of $1 billion.

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 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“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. Lower credit ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets.

The following ratings actions have been taken on us by these NRSROs since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014:

On May 22, 2014, S&P raised the outlook on FCE from negative to stable, reflecting its view that U.K. banking industry risk has stabilized.

On June 27, 2014, S&P assigned its A-3 short-term issuer credit rating to Ford and Ford Credit.

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

OUTLOOK

Business Environment

We project global economic growth to be in the 2.5% to 3% range, and global industry sales to be about 85 million to 90 million units. U.S. economic growth is now projected to be in the 2% range as a result of downward revisions to first quarter growth. We continue to expect improving conditions through the balance of this year and have seen economic indicators and industry sales recovering in the second quarter. In South America, Brazil continues to face inflationary pressures despite higher interest rates and weakening economic growth. The situation remains uncertain in Argentina and Venezuela. In Europe, an economic recovery is underway, with expected 2014 GDP growth of about 1% in the Euro Area and 2.5% to 3% in the United Kingdom. The outlook for Russia is challenging and fluid, with weak GDP growth, inflationary pressures, and a weaker currency. And in Asia Pacific, China’s economic growth is projected to be in the 7.5% range. Recent incoming data suggest that the economy is stabilizing. Growth in India is expected to improve modestly at about 5% from last year as high inflation and high interest rates remain impediments to stronger growth. The recent general elections in India have generated positive sentiment and opportunities for better growth in the near term. Overall, despite challenges in emerging markets, we expect global economic growth to continue in 2014 and to be supportive of our projection for higher global automotive industry volume this year.

For 2014, we now expect industry volume to range from 16.3 million to 16.8 million units in the United States, to range from 14.3 million to 14.8 million units in our Europe 20 markets, and to range from 23.3 million to 24.3 million units in China.

In terms of our financial performance, we continue to expect Automotive revenue to be about equal to 2013, and Automotive operating margin to be lower than 2013. We now expect Automotive operating-related cash flow to be lower than 2013, improved from substantially lower. This includes capital spending of about $7.5 billion to support new or significantly refreshed products and capacity actions.

We also now expect Ford Credit pre-tax profit to be higher than 2013, improved from about equal to or higher than 2013.

We continue to expect our total pre-tax profit, excluding special items, to be in the $7 billion to $8 billion range in a period with an unprecedented number of global launches. We also continue to expect our full-year operating effective tax rate to be about 35%, assuming retroactive extension of U.S. research credit legislation in the fourth quarter.

Overall, 2014 will be a solid year for Ford Motor Company and a critical next step forward in implementing our One Ford plan to continue delivering profitable growth for all. The payoff from the 2014 launches and investments will be a strong product lineup with higher volumes, revenue, and margins in 2015 and beyond.

ONE FORD PLAN

We remain focused on delivering the key aspects of the One Ford plan, which are unchanged:
Aggressively restructure to operate profitably at the current demand and changing model mix;
Accelerate development of new products our customers want and value;
Finance our plan and improve our balance sheet; and
Work together effectively as one team, leveraging our global assets.

Risk Factors

Statements included or incorporated by reference herein may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, forecasts, and assumptions by our management and involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated, including, without limitation:

Decline in industry sales volume, particularly in the United States or Europe, due to financial crisis, recession, geopolitical events, or other factors; 
Decline in Ford’s market share or failure to achieve growth;
Lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of Ford’s new or existing products;
Market shift away from sales of larger, more profitable vehicles beyond Ford’s current planning assumption, particularly in the United States;
An increase in or continued volatility of fuel prices, or reduced availability of fuel;
Continued or increased price competition resulting from industry excess capacity, currency fluctuations, or other factors;
Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates;
Adverse effects resulting from economic, geopolitical, or other events;
Economic distress of suppliers that may require Ford to provide substantial financial support or take other measures to ensure supplies of components or materials and could increase costs, affect liquidity, or cause production constraints or disruptions;
Work stoppages at Ford or supplier facilities or other limitations on production (whether as a result of labor disputes, natural or man-made disasters, tight credit markets or other financial distress, production constraints or difficulties, or other factors);
Single-source supply of components or materials;
Labor or other constraints on Ford’s ability to maintain competitive cost structure;
Substantial pension and postretirement health care and life insurance liabilities impairing liquidity or financial condition;
Worse-than-assumed economic and demographic experience for postretirement benefit plans (e.g., discount rates or investment returns);
Restriction on use of tax attributes from tax law “ownership change;”  
The discovery of defects in vehicles resulting in delays in new model launches, recall campaigns, or increased warranty costs;
Increased safety, emissions, fuel economy, or other regulations resulting in higher costs, cash expenditures, and/or sales restrictions;
Unusual or significant litigation, governmental investigations, or adverse publicity arising out of alleged defects in products, perceived environmental impacts, or otherwise;
A change in requirements under long-term supply arrangements committing Ford to purchase minimum or fixed quantities of certain parts, or to pay a minimum amount to the seller (“take-or-pay” contracts);
Adverse effects on results from a decrease in or cessation or clawback of government incentives related to investments;
Inherent limitations of internal controls impacting financial statements and safeguarding of assets;
Cybersecurity risks to operational systems, security systems, or infrastructure owned by Ford, Ford Credit, or a third-party vendor or supplier;  
Failure of financial institutions to fulfill commitments under committed credit and liquidity facilities;
Inability of Ford Credit to access debt, securitization, or derivative markets around the world at competitive rates or in sufficient amounts, due to credit rating downgrades, market volatility, market disruption, regulatory requirements, or other factors;
Higher-than-expected credit losses, lower-than-anticipated residual values, or higher-than-expected return volumes for leased vehicles;
Increased competition from banks or other financial institutions seeking to increase their share of financing Ford vehicles; and
New or increased credit, consumer, or data protection or other regulations resulting in higher costs and/or additional financing restrictions.

We cannot be certain that any expectation, forecast, or assumption made in preparing forward-looking statements will prove accurate, or that any projection will be realized. It is to be expected that there may be differences between projected and actual results. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of their initial issuance, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. For additional discussion, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2013 Form 10-K report, as updated by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The interim financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended
June 30, 2014 and 2013 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 Sector
 
Foreign Currency Risk. The net fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk), as of June 30, 2014, was a liability of $211 million compared with an asset of $158 million as of December 31, 2013. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying exchange rates, in U.S. dollar terms, would be about $2 billion at June 30, 2014, unchanged from December 31, 2013.

Commodity Price Risk. The net fair value of commodity forward and option contracts (including adjustments for credit risk) as of June 30, 2014 was an asset of $62 million, compared with an asset of $4 million as of December 31, 2013. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying commodity prices, in U.S. dollar terms, would be $79 million at June 30, 2014, compared with $70 million at December 31, 2013.

Financial Services Sector
  
Interest Rate Risk. To provide a quantitative measure of the sensitivity of Ford Credit’s 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 twelve-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, 2014, all else constant, such an increase in interest rates would increase its pre-tax cash flow by $16 million over the next 12 months, compared with an increase of $63 million at December 31, 2013. 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 June 30, 2014, 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. Alan Mulally, President and Chief Executive Officer, retired effective July 1, 2014. He was succeeded by Mark Fields, formerly our Chief Operating Officer.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

Brazilian Tax Matters (as previously reported on page 28 of our 2013 Form 10-K Report).  As previously reported, three Brazilian states and the Brazilian federal tax authority have levied substantial tax assessments against Ford Brazil related to state and federal tax incentives Ford Brazil receives for its operations in the Brazilian state of Bahia.  All assessments have been appealed to the relevant administrative court of each jurisdiction.  For each assessment, if we do not prevail at the administrative level, we plan to appeal to the relevant state or federal judicial court, which could require us to post significant collateral in order to proceed. Our appeals with two states and the federal tax authority remain at the administrative level. In the third state, where two cases are pending, we have appealed to the judicial court and to date we have not been required to post collateral.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

In May 2014, we announced a share repurchase program for up to approximately 116 million shares of our Common Stock. Up to 103 million shares will be repurchased to offset the dilutive effect of potential conversions of our 4.25% Senior Convertible Notes due Nov. 15, 2016, and up to 12.6 million shares will be repurchased to offset the dilutive effect of share-based employee incentive compensation granted in 2014. During the second quarter of 2014, we repurchased shares of Ford Common Stock as follows:
