DEARBORN, Mich., April 24, 2009 – Ford Motor Company [NYSE: F] today reported a first quarter net loss of $1.4 billion, or $0.60 per share. This compares with net income of $70 million, or $0.03 per share, in the first quarter of 2008.

 
 

 

Ford’s first quarter 2009 pre-tax operating loss, excluding special items, was approximately $2 billion, a decline from a profit of $686 million a year ago.  On an after-tax basis, Ford lost $1.8 billion in the first quarter, or $0.75 per share, compared with a profit of $477 million, or $0.20 per share, a year ago. ++

“Our results in the first quarter reflected the extremely difficult business environment and weak demand for autos around the world,” said Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally.  “Despite the challenges, Ford made strong progress on our transformation plan by gaining share with strong new products, slowing operating-related cash outflows, reducing outstanding debt, lowering our structural costs and reaching new agreements with the UAW.”

Ford finished the first quarter with $21.3 billion in Automotive gross cash and reiterated that based on current planning assumptions it does not expect to seek a bridge loan from the U.S. government.

In the first quarter, Ford took a number of actions to strengthen its overall business, and also started discussions with interested parties regarding the sale of Volvo.

Ford and Ford Motor Credit Company executed actions to reduce Ford’s debt obligations by $10.1 billion at par value and lower the company’s annual cash interest payments by more than $500 million.  Of that $10.1 billion, $2.4 billion in debt obligations were reduced in the first quarter and will be reflected in Ford’s first quarter financial statements.  The remainder was reduced on April 8, 2009, and will be reflected in Ford’s second quarter results.  In addition, as previously announced, Ford drew $10.1 billion under its secured revolving credit facility, providing protection against the instability of the capital markets and the uncertain state of the global economy.

Additionally, Ford negotiated and ratified modifications to its collective bargaining agreement with the United Auto Workers union that will lower the company’s overall labor costs in the U.S. by about $500 million annually.  The company announced a new buyout program for U.S. hourly employees that will be completed in the second quarter.  Ford also reached an agreement in principle with the UAW which, subject to court and other approvals, would allow the company to settle up to half of its future cash VEBA obligations with Ford common stock.

Based on current planning assumptions, Ford said it remains on track to meet or beat its financial targets, including the target for its overall and North American Automotive pre-tax results to be breakeven or better in 2011, excluding special items.

FIRST QUARTER 2009 RESULTS
On an after-tax basis, Ford’s first quarter operating loss, excluding special items, was $1.8 billion, or $0.75 per share, compared with a profit of $477 million, or $0.20 per share, a year ago. ++

Ford’s first quarter revenue, excluding special items, was $24.8 billion, down from $39.2 billion a year ago.  The decline is primarily explained by lower sales volume and unfavorable exchange, partly offset by higher net pricing.++

Special items improved pre-tax profits by $362 million in the first quarter, or $0.15 per share, which largely reflected gains from the debt restructuring completed in the first quarter partly offset by the effect of “held for sale” accounting for Volvo assets and global personnel reduction programs.  At the end of the first quarter, based on the status of Ford’s strategic review of Volvo, the company concluded that the criteria for “held for sale” status had been met, triggering an impairment test that resulted in an impairment charge of about $700 million (reflecting the difference between the book value and estimated fair market value of Volvo as held for sale net of estimated disposal cost).

Automotive operating-related cash flow was $3.7 billion negative during the first quarter of 2009.++       The negative cash flow primarily reflects:
 
·
An Automotive pre-tax loss of $1.9 billion, excluding special items++
 
·
Capital spending during the quarter that was about $300 million higher than depreciation and amortization
 
·
Changes in working capital resulted in over $1 billion of positive cash flow due to higher payables, lower inventories and lower receivables.  This improvement, however, was more than offset by timing differences in marketing, warranty, retiree health care payments and in-transit receivables
 
·
Payments of $500 million to Ford Credit reflecting Ford’s change to up-front payment of subvention

Excluding the impact of the change to up-front subvention payments, Automotive operating-related cash flow was $3.2 billion negative.  This outflow in the first quarter is less than half the outflows during each of the third and fourth quarters of 2008, despite a further decline in volume in part related to actions taken to reduce dealer stocks.  The improvement is due primarily to improved working capital, lower Automotive pre-tax losses and lower net spending.

Ford reiterated that it expects operating-related cash outflows in 2009 to be significantly less than 2008.

 
3

 

Overall, the company’s Automotive gross cash increased by $7.9 billion during the first quarter, primarily reflecting the company’s draw of its revolving credit line of $10.1 billion and the net impact of $2 billion related to the conversion of the assets in the Temporary Asset Account set aside for the VEBA healthcare trust into a new Ford note, as discussed in January.

“The successful debt restructuring, coupled with previously announced agreements with the United Auto Workers, will strengthen Ford’s balance sheet and will result in significant savings going forward,” said Lewis Booth, Ford executive vice president and chief financial officer.   “On the product side, our global lineup has never been stronger.  We remain hopeful that the government stimulus actions around the world will help improve auto demand, particularly in the second half of this year.”
 

The following discussion of first quarter highlights and results are on a pre-tax basis and exclude special items.  See tables following “Safe Harbor/Risk Factors” for the nature and amount of these special items and any necessary reconciliation to U.S. GAAP.  Discussion of Automotive operating cost changes is at constant volume, mix, and exchange, and excludes special items.

For the first quarter of 2009, Ford’s worldwide Automotive sector reported a pre-tax operating loss of $1.9 billion, compared with a pre-tax profit of $622 million a year ago.  The decline reflected lower industry volumes as well as actions to reduce dealer stocks, partly offset by structural cost reductions.

Worldwide Automotive revenue in the first quarter was $21.4 billion, down from $35 billion a year ago.  The decline is primarily explained by significantly lower volume.  Total vehicle wholesales in the first quarter were 973,000, compared with 1,531,000 units a year ago.

Automotive structural cost reductions totaled $1.9 billion, including $1.3 billion in North America.  Manufacturing and engineering costs were more than $800 million lower, largely reflecting the continued benefits of our restructuring actions in North America, Europe and Volvo.

Net pricing was about $700 million favorable, primarily explained by higher pricing in the U.S., reflecting pricing for new features and content, and limited new incentives.

North America: For the first quarter, Ford North America reported a pre-tax loss of $637 million, compared with a loss of $45 million a year ago.  The decline was primarily explained by lower industry volume, a reduction in dealer stocks to bring days’ supply to competitive levels, and higher material cost, partly offset by structural cost reductions and favorable net pricing.  First quarter revenue was $10.2 billion, down from $17.1 billion a year ago.   North American pre-tax results improved by $1.3 billion in the first quarter as compared to fourth quarter 2008.  This improvement primarily reflects lower structural costs and lower commodity costs.

South America: For the first quarter, Ford South America reported a pre-tax profit of $63 million, compared with a profit of $257 million a year ago.  The decline was more than explained by unfavorable exchange and higher commodity costs, partly offset by favorable net pricing.  First quarter revenue was $1.4 billion, down from $1.8 billion a year ago.

 
5

 

Europe: For the first quarter, Ford Europe reported a pre-tax loss of $550 million, compared with a profit of $739 million a year ago.  The decline was largely explained by lower industry volume and a reduction in dealer stocks.  First quarter revenue was $6 billion, down from $10.2 billion a year ago.  These declines reflect the economic weakening in most European markets.

Volvo: For the first quarter, Volvo reported a pre-tax loss of $255 million, compared with loss of $151 million a year ago.  The decline primarily reflected lower industry volume, lower market share, dealer stock reductions and unfavorable net pricing, partly offset by structural cost reductions.  First quarter revenue was $2.6 billion, down from $4.2 billion a year ago.  Losses were reduced by nearly $500 million compared with fourth quarter 2008, primarily as a result of structural cost reductions and favorable exchange.

Asia Pacific and Africa: For the first quarter, Ford Asia Pacific and Africa’s pre-tax loss was $96 million, compared with a profit of $1 million a year ago.  The decline primarily reflects lower industry volume and unfavorable exchange, partly offset by structural cost reductions and net pricing actions.  First quarter revenue was $1.2 billion, down from $1.7 billion a year ago.

Other Automotive: Other Automotive, which consists primarily of interest and financing-related costs, reported a first quarter pre-tax loss of $445 million.  This included net interest expense of $452 million.

Ford Motor Credit Company: Ford Credit reported a pre-tax loss of $36 million in the first quarter, compared with a pre-tax profit of $32 million a year ago.  The decline was primarily explained by lower volume and a higher provision for credit losses, partly offset by lower depreciation expense for leased vehicles and lower net losses related to market valuation adjustments to derivatives.

Other Financial Services: Other Financial Services reported a loss of $26 million in the first quarter, a $58 million decline from a year ago. The decline primarily reflects non-recurrence of gains related to real estate transactions.

OUTLOOK
Despite the severe global downturn, Ford said it continues to make progress on all four pillars of its plan:
 
·
Aggressively restructuring to operate profitably at the current demand and changing model mix
 
·
Accelerating the development of new products that customers want and value
 
·
Financing the plan and improving the balance sheet
 
·
Working together effectively as one team, leveraging Ford’s global assets

In addition to the key restructuring actions discussed, Ford also continues a collaborative effort to reduce its dealer levels, with a 14 percent reduction since 2005, consolidate and realign its suppliers, and reduce salaried and other overhead costs.  With the $1.9 billion of first quarter Automotive structural cost reductions, Ford is on track to exceed its target to reduce Automotive structural costs by $4 billion in 2009.

“Clearly, these continue to be challenging days for the global auto industry.  I remain encouraged by the progress Ford is making to allow us to operate through the downturn and emerge as a lean, globally integrated automaker poised for profitable growth when the economy rebounds,” Mulally said.  “Ford continues to take decisive actions working with all of our stakeholders to ensure our long-term competitiveness.”
