Item 8.01. Other Events.

Ford Motor Credit Company LLC (referred to herein as “Ford Credit,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reclassify historical segment information and related disclosures in accordance with Ford Credit’s current segment structure. As previously disclosed in Ford Credit’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K Report”), beginning with the first quarter of 2017, we changed our reportable segments.

Prior to the first quarter of 2017, Ford Credit’s reportable segments were North America and International. Beginning with the first quarter of 2017, we have three reportable segments in our consolidated financial statements to align with our new management reporting structure and reflect the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker manages our business, including resource allocation and performance assessment. These segments are: the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Consistent with this change, Exhibit 99 to this Report recasts “Part I, Item 1. Business,” “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and “Part IV, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” (collectively, “Selected Items”) from Ford Credit’s 2016 Form 10-K Report for the purpose of presenting the financial information in these items as it would have appeared when Ford Credit published its 2016 Form 10-K Report on February 9, 2017 had Ford Credit reorganized its segment structure prior to the first quarter of 2017. This Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99 are being filed solely to recast segment reporting financial information and revise certain related disclosures contained in the 2016 Form 10-K Report to reflect the segment changes implemented during the first quarter of 2017. Ford Credit has not updated the information in Exhibit 99 to this Report to reflect events occurring after the date of the filing of the 2016 Form 10-K Report other than as required to reflect the segment changes described above and as set forth in Exhibit 99 to this Report. The changes in the segment structure discussed above affect only the manner in which the results for the segments were previously reported. There is no change to Ford Credit’s previously reported Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Shareholder’s Interest, or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The information contained in Exhibit 99 to this Report is not an amendment to, or a restatement of, Ford Credit’s 2016 Form 10-K Report.
