For purposes of this report, “Ford,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”“us,” or similar references mean Ford Motor Company, our consolidated subsidiaries, and our consolidated VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary, unless the context requires otherwise.

Our financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements reflect a fair statement of our results of operations and financial condition for the periods, and at the dates, presented.  The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.  Reference should be made to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 (“20152016 Form 10-K Report”).

Change in presentation. Our core Automotive business includes the designing, manufacturing, marketing, and servicing of a full line of Ford cars, trucks, SUVs, and electrified vehicles, as well as Lincoln luxury vehicles. We provide vehicle-related financing and leasing activities through Ford Motor Credit Company LLC (“Ford Credit”). At the same time, we are pursuing emerging opportunities in connectivity, mobility, autonomous vehicles, the customer experience, and data and analytics.
Prior to the second quarter of 2016, we presented our financial statements on both a consolidated basis and on a “sector” basis for our Automotive and Financial Services sectors. With our expansion into mobility services, including the formation in March 2016 of the Ford Smart Mobility LLC subsidiary, we reevaluated our disclosures and concluded we should eliminate our two-sector financial presentation and, reflecting the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker manages our business, changed our segment presentation beginning with the second quarter of 2016 to be Automotive, Financial Services, and All Other. See Note 3 for a description of our segment presentation.
In addition, as a result of the elimination of our two-sector financial presentation, at June 30, 2016 we changed the presentation of our consolidated balance sheet and certain notes to the consolidated financial statements to classify our assets and liabilities as current or non-current. We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Accounting StandardStandards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, Income Taxes2016-09, Stock Compensation - Balance Sheet ClassificationImprovements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.On January 1, 2017, we adopted the amendments to accounting standards codification (“ASC”) 718 which simplify accounting for share-based payment transactions. Prior to this amendment, excess tax benefits resulting from the difference between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation costs recognized for financial reporting were not recognized until the deduction reduced taxes payable. Under the new method, we will recognize excess tax benefits in the current accounting period. In addition, prior to January 1, 2017, the employee share-based compensation expense was recorded net of Deferred Taxesestimated forfeiture rates and subsequently adjusted at the vesting date, as appropriate. As part of the amendment, we have elected to recognize the actual forfeitures by reducing the employee share-based compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur. We have adopted these changes in accounting method using the modified retrospective method by recognizing one-time adjustments to retained earnings for excess tax benefits previously unrecognized and the change in accounting for forfeited awards.

ASU 2014-09,Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. . On AprilJanuary 1, 2016,2017, we retrospectively adopted the new accounting standard which requires deferred tax assetsASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and liabilitiesall the related amendments (“new revenue standard”) to all contracts using the modified retrospective method. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be classified as non-currentreported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. We do not expect the consolidated balance sheet. The impactadoption of the change resulted in the classification of all deferred taxes as non-current.new revenue standard
We also adopted the following standards during 2016, none of whichto have a material impact to our financial statementsnet income on an ongoing basis.

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

The new revenue standard also provided additional clarity that resulted in reclassifications to or financial statement disclosures:

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

The effect of the retrospective presentation change related to the net periodic cost of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement employee benefits (“OPEB”) plans on our consolidated income statement for the periods ended September 30, 2016 was as follows (in millions):

ASU 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard which replaces the current incurred loss impairment method with a method that reflects expected credit losses. The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted as of January 1, 2019. We are assessingwill adopt the potentialnew credit loss guidance by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We anticipate adoption will increase the amount of expected credit losses reported in Financial Services finance receivables, net on our consolidated balance sheet and do not expect a material impact to our financial statements and disclosures.income statement.

ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment AccountingNOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS .In March 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which simplifies accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences and the classification of the tax impact on the statement of cash flows. We will adopt the standard effective January 1, 2017 by recognizing a one-time adjustment to retained earnings and deferred tax assets related to cumulative excess tax benefits previously unrecognized. We will also change classification of tax-related items on the consolidated statement of cash flows.(Continued)

ASU 2016-02, Leases.  In February 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases.

Theobligations. We plan to adopt the new standard isat its effective asdate of January 1, 2019,2019.

NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATIONREVENUE (Continued)

In conjunctionRevenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our expanded business model to become an automotive, financial services, and mobility company, beginningcustomer are satisfied; generally this occurs with the second quartertransfer of 2016, we changed our reportable segment disclosures. Reflecting the manner in which our Chief Operating Decision Maker manages our businesses, including resource allocation and performance assessment, we have four operating segments that represent the primary businesses reported in our consolidated financial statements. These operating segments are: Automotive, Financial Services, Ford Smart Mobility LLC, and Central Treasury Operations.

Automotive and Financial Services comprise separate reportable segments. Ford Smart Mobility LLC and Central Treasury Operations did not meet the quantitative thresholds in this reporting period to qualify as reportable segments; therefore, these operating segments are combined and disclosed below as All Other. Prior-period amounts were adjusted retrospectively to reflect the change to our reportable segments.
Below is a descriptioncontrol of our reportable segmentsvehicles, parts, accessories, or services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the business activities included in All Other.context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with our base warranties and field service actions continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold (see Note 16). We recognize revenue for vehicle service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranties over the life of the contract. We do not have any material significant payment terms as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.

Automotive Segment

Our Automotive segment primarily includesVehicles, Parts, and Accessories. For the majority of vehicles, parts, and accessories, we transfer control and recognize a sale when we ship the product from our manufacturing facility to our customer (dealers and distributors). We receive cash equal to the invoice price for most vehicle sales at the time of wholesale. When the vehicle sale is financed by our wholly-owned subsidiary Ford Credit, the dealer pays Ford Credit when it sells the vehicle to the retail customer (see Note 8). Payment terms on part sales to dealers, distributors, and retailers range from 30 days to 120 days. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in marketing incentives and returns we offer to our customers and their customers. When we give our dealers the right to return eligible parts and accessories, we estimate the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. We adjust our estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration we expect to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. As a result we recognized an increase to revenue from prior periods in the third quarter of 2017 of $33 million.

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

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

Used Vehicles. We sell used vehicles both at auction and through our consolidated dealerships. Proceeds from the sale of Fordthese vehicles are recognized in Automotive revenues upon transfer of control of the vehicle to the customer and Lincoln brand vehicles, service parts, and accessories worldwide, together with the associated costs to develop, manufacture, distribute, and service the vehicles, parts, and accessories. The segment includes 5 regional business units:  North America, South America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific.
Financial Services Segmentrelated vehicle carrying value is recognized in Cost of sales.

Extended Service Contracts. We sell separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond our base warranty agreements to vehicle owners. The Financial Services segment primarily includes our vehicle-related financingseparately priced service contracts range from 12 months to 120 months. We receive payment at the inception of the contract and leasing activities at Ford Credit.

All Other

All Other is a combinationrecognize revenue over the term of operating segments that did not meet the quantitative thresholdsagreement in this reporting periodproportion to qualify as reportable segments. All Other consiststhe costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. At January 1, 2017, $3.5 billion of our Central Treasury Operations (formerly Other Automotive) and Ford Smart Mobility LLC. The Central Treasury Operations segment is primarily engaged in decision making for investments, risk management activities, and providing financing for the Automotive segment. Interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment), interest expense, gains and losses on cash equivalents and marketable securities, and foreign exchange derivativesunearned revenue associated with intercompany lending, are includedoutstanding contracts was reported in Other Liabilities and deferred revenue, $256 million and $797 million of this was recognized as revenue during the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2017, the unearned amount was $3.7 billion. We expect to recognize approximately $300 million of the unearned amount in the resultsremainder of Central Treasury Operations. The underlying2017, $1 billion in 2018, and $2.4 billion thereafter. We record a premium deficiency reserve to the extent we estimate the future costs associated with these contracts exceed the unrecognized revenue. Amounts paid to dealers to obtain these contracts are deferred and recorded as Other assets. These costs are amortized to expense consistent with how the related revenue is recognized. We had a balance of $236 million in deferred costs as of September 30, 2017 and liabilities, primarily cashrecognized $17 million and cash equivalents, marketable securities, debt,$46 million of amortization during the third quarter and derivatives, remain with the Automotive segment.

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

Special Items

In addition, our results include Special Items that consistfirst nine months of (i) pension and other postretirement employee benefits (“OPEB”) remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel and dealer-related costs stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, and (iii) certain infrequent significant items that we generally do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating activities. Our management excludes these items from its review of the results of the operating segments for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources. Special items are presented as a separate reconciling item.2017, respectively.

NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATIONREVENUE (Continued)

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

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

Financial Services Segment

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

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

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

NOTE 5. 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 infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2017, our effective tax rates were 10.6% and 16.7%, respectively. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2017 we recognized $266 million and $687 million of benefit for foreign tax credits expected to be realized in the foreseeable future. The tax benefit relates to investments in certain non-U.S. subsidiaries previously determined to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States. Our change in assertion for these investments is related to planned distributions in anticipation of potential U.S. corporate tax reform.

Pension Plan Contributions

During 2016,2017, we expect contributions to contributebe about $1.21.5 billion from cash and cash equivalents to our worldwide funded pension plans, (including discretionary contributions of about $100 million), down about $300 million from our previous plan due to recalendarization of contributions into 2017, and to make about $300 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans, for a total of about $1.51.8 billion. Contributions to our funded plans are higher than our prior guidance of about $1 billion (most of which is mandatory), as we plan to pull ahead about $500 million of 2018 planned funding into the fourth quarter of 2017 to achieve a cash tax benefit. In the first nine months of 2016,2017, we contributed about $800700 million to our worldwide funded pension plans and made about $200 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans.

NOTE 11.14. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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

Income Effect of Derivative Financial Instruments

Balance Sheet Effect of Derivative Financial Instruments

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

FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

Guarantees and Indemnifications

The maximum potential payments and the carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities were as follows (in millions):
 December 31,
2016
 September 30,
2017
Maximum potential payments$177
 $1,349
Carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities23
 399

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

We guarantee the resale value of vehicles sold in certain arrangements to daily rental companies. The maximum potential payment of $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2017 included in the table above represents the total proceeds we guarantee the rental company will receive on re-sale.  Reflecting our present estimate of proceeds the rental companies will receive on resale from third parties, we have recorded $399 million as our best estimate of the amount we will have to pay under the guarantee.  See Note 2 for additional information on the adoption of the new revenue standard.

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

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

The maximum potential payments and the carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities were as follows (in millions):
 September 30,
2016
 December 31,
2015
Maximum potential payments$227
 $284
Carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities23

Litigation and Claims

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

The extent of our financial exposure to these matters is difficult to estimate. Many matters do not specify a dollar amount for damages, and many others specify only a jurisdictional minimum. To the extent an amount is asserted, our historical experience suggests that in most instances the amount asserted is not a reliable indicator of the ultimate outcome.
Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)

FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

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

Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)

FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 16. 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. We do not believe there is a reasonably possible outcome materially in excess of our accrual for these matters.

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

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

Warranty and Field Service Actions

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

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

The estimate of our future warranty and field service action costs, net of supplier recoveries, for the periods ended September 30 were as follows (in millions):

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmFORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 September 30, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of equity for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

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

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, 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 11, 2016 (which included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the Company’s change in the manner in which it accounts for defined benefit pension and other postretirement employee benefit plans), 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 presentation of the consolidated balance sheet to classify assets and liabilities as current or non-current. The accompanying December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet reflects this change.

NOTE 17. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Below is a description of our reportable segments and the business activities included in All Other.

Automotive Segment

Our Automotive segment primarily includes the sale of Ford and Lincoln brand vehicles, service parts, and accessories worldwide, together with the associated costs to develop, manufacture, distribute, and service the vehicles, parts, and accessories. The segment includes five regional business units:  North America, South America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Asia Pacific.
Financial Services Segment

The Financial Services segment primarily includes our vehicle-related financing and leasing activities at Ford Credit.

All Other

All Other is a combination of two operating segments that did not meet the quantitative thresholds in this reporting period to qualify as reportable segments. All Other consists of our Central Treasury Operations and Ford Smart Mobility LLC. The Central Treasury Operations segment is primarily engaged in decision making for investments, risk management activities, and providing financing for the Automotive segment. Interest income (excluding interest earned on our extended service contract portfolio that is included in our Automotive segment), interest expense, gains and losses on cash equivalents and marketable securities, and foreign exchange derivatives associated with intercompany lending, are included in the results of Central Treasury Operations. The underlying assets and liabilities, primarily cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, debt, and derivatives, remain with the Automotive segment.

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

Special Items

Our results include Special items that consist of (i) pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel and dealer-related costs stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, and (iii) certain infrequent significant items that we generally do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating activities. Our management excludes these items from its review of the results of the operating segments for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources. Special items are presented as a separate reconciling item.

Our core business includes designing, manufacturing, marketing, and servicing a full line of Ford cars, trucks, and SUVs, as well as Lincoln luxury vehicles. To expand our business model, we are aggressively pursuing emerging opportunities with investments in electrification, autonomy, and mobility. We provide financial services through Ford Credit.
In conjunction with our expanded business model to become an automotive, financial services, and mobility company, beginning with the second quarter of 2016, we changed our reportable segments. Prior-period amounts have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the reportable segment change. See Note 3 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures

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

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

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

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

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

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

AUTOMOTIVE SEGMENT

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

Market Factors:
Volume and Mix – primarily measures profit variance from changes in wholesale volumes (at prior-year average contribution margin per unit) driven by changes in industry volume, market share, and dealer stocks, as well as the profit variance resulting from changes in product mix, including mix among vehicle lines and mix of trim levels and options within a vehicle line
Net Pricing – primarily measures profit variance driven by changes in wholesale prices to dealers and marketing incentive programs such as rebate programs, low-rate financing offers, special lease offers, and stock adjustments on dealer inventory

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

Structural Costs – primarily measures profit variance driven by absolute change in cost categories that typically do not have a directly proportionate relationship to production volume. Structural costs include the following cost categories:
Manufacturing, Including Volume Related consists primarily of costs for hourly and salaried manufacturing personnel, plant overhead (such as utilities and taxes), and new product launch expense. These costs could be affected by volume for operating pattern actions such as overtime, line-speed, and shift schedules
Engineering consists primarily of costs for engineering personnel, prototype materials, testing, and outside engineering services
Spending-Related consists primarily of depreciation and amortization of our manufacturing and engineering assets, but also includes asset retirements and operating leases
Advertising and Sales Promotions includes costs for advertising, marketing programs, brand promotions, customer mailings and promotional events, and auto shows
Administrative and Selling includes primarily costs for salaried personnel and purchased services related to our staff activities and selling functions, as well as associated information technology costs
Pension and OPEB consists primarily of past service pension costs and other postretirement employee benefit costs

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

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

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

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

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

Shown above are the key market factors and financial metrics for our Automotive segment in the third quarter of 2016, which all declined from a year ago, consistent with expectations. The changes were driven by North America. Wholesale volumes were down 4%, more than explained by reductions in dealer stocks this year in North America and Europe versus increases a year ago. Automotive revenue was down 7% due to the lower volume.

Our global market share, at 7.5%, was down one-tenth of a percentage point compared to a year ago driven by lower market shares inunits — North America, South America, andEurope, Middle East & Africa. Market share was flat in EuropeAfrica, and higher in Asia Pacific.

Shown above are the third quarter 2016 key metrics for the North America business unit, which were lower in the quarter compared to a year ago.

The top line declined with wholesale volume down 11% and revenue down 8% from a year ago. Lower wholesales were driven by dealer stock reductions this year compared to an increase last year for F-150 following the Kansas City Assembly Plant launch, the launch effect of the all-new Super Duty, and aligning car production with demand.

Our North America market share was down five-tenths of a percentage point, with our U.S. share down by seven-tenths of a percentage point to 14%. The decrease was driven by lower retail sales of cars and utilities, as well as lower fleet sales, mainly rental. F-Series retail share was flat from a year ago. North America SAAR, at 21.8 million units, was down 200,000 units; U.S. SAAR, at 17.8 million units, was down 500,000 units.

Shown above are the third quarter 2017 key metrics for North America, where our operating margin and pre-tax profit improved significantly from a year ago, despite a lower top line.

Wholesale volume was down 5% and revenue was down 4%, due to lower volume from a year ago. The lower wholesales were driven by an unfavorable change in dealer stocks and lower market share in Canada and Mexico.

North America SAAR, at 21.3 million units, and U.S. SAAR, at 17.4 million units, were both down 400,000 units.

North America market share was down one-tenth of a percentage point, while U.S. share was up one-tenth of a percentage point to 14.1%, driven by higher retail share for Ford trucks and SUVs and Lincoln.

In the quarter, F-Series U.S. sales improved 14% compared to a year ago and gained share, reflecting our best third quarter sales performance since 2005. Ford brand SUVs also had outstanding results, achieving our highest third quarter SUV retail sales since 2003, driven by Explorer and Edge.

As shown above, our third quarter 2016 pre-tax profit was $1.6 billionbelow the chart, each of North America’s key metrics in the first nine months were lower than a year ago, driven by the launch impact of our all-new Super Duty, the dealer stock reduction of F-150 versus the increase a year ago and normalization of series mixexcept for F-150, and the previously announced door latch recall.

In South America, our results were negatively impacted by the difficult external conditions, including high inflation and unfavorable exchange in Argentina, and lower industry volume in Brazil.

The top lineAs shown above, North America’s third quarter 2017 pre-tax profit was lower with wholesales down 13% and revenue down 15%, reflecting lower industry and market share, and weaker local currencies.

Our market share for the region, at 9.4%, was down eight-tenths of a percentage point due to Fiesta in Brazil. Industry SAAR for the region, at 3.6$421 million units, was 400,000 units lowerhigher than a year ago, due to Brazil.driven by favorable cost performance, despite continued headwinds on commodities. Lower volume and adverse exchange were partial offsets.

OperatingFavorable cost performance was driven by both lower contribution cost, reflecting the non-repeat of last year’s recall, and lower structural cost.

Net pricing was favorable for the fourth consecutive quarter, reflecting the continued strength of F-Series.

Lower volume was driven by an unfavorable change in dealer stock, including matching car production to demand, mainly Fusion, Explorer, and the launch of the all-new Expedition and Navigator.

The unfavorable exchange reflects mainly the Canadian dollar.

Wholesale volume was up 7% and revenue was up 9% from a year ago. The higher wholesales were driven by a favorable change in dealer stocks, reflecting the ramp up of all-new Fiesta production following launch. The higher revenue was driven by higher volume, strong mix, and favorable pricing.

Third quarter 2017 production was about 33,000 units below guidance, primarily reflecting constraints related to the launch of the all-new Fiesta, which have now been resolved. Demand for the Fiesta and our other vehicles in the region is very strong with the customer order bank at a record level.

In Asia Pacific, we delivered a record third quarter pre-tax profit with all key metrics improved compared to a year ago. Wholesale volume increased 30% and revenue from consolidated operations improved 16%, reflecting higher industry volume and strong performance from new products.

Asia Pacific SAAR was 40.9 million units, up 3.2 million units from the third quarter of 2015, mostly explained by a 2.8 million unit increase in China SAAR, estimated at 24.9 million units. This was driven by the government purchase tax incentive for vehicles with engine displacements of 1.6 liters or smaller. Asia Pacific market share was 4.0%, up five-tenths of a percentage point, with China share increasing five-tenths of a percentage point to 5.1%. The improvement in share was driven by strong C-car sales and new product introductions, including Taurus, the locally built Edge, Lincoln MKX, and Lincoln MKZ.

Asia Pacific operating margin was 4.3%, up 3.5 percentage points from a year ago, and pre-tax profit was $131 million, up $109 million. Our China joint ventures contributed $320 million to pre-tax profit, reflecting our equity share of the joint ventures’ after-tax earnings; this was $67 million higher than a year ago. The joint ventures’ net income margin was 13.4%, up seven-tenths of a percentage point.q32017eurbridge7a.jpg

As shown below the chart, all of our key metrics in the first nine months of 2016 improved compared withabove, Europe’s third quarter 2017 pre-tax result was $224 million lower than a year ago except for operating margin.driven by the following:

Brexit effects, reflecting the weaker sterling and lower U.K. industry, offset partially by favorable net pricing in the United Kingdom;
Higher commodities, mainly steel and other metals; and
Fiesta launch effects, reflecting lower volume and higher costs, both product and structural costs, offset partially by favorable net pricing.

Although not shown, results in Russia continued to improve, approaching breakeven.

We expect Europe to return to profitability in the fourth quarter of 2017 driven by higher volume.

For full year 2017, we continue to expect Europe to remain profitable, although at a level below 2016. This is due to adverse Brexit effects and higher commodity costs. Favorable market factors and continued improvement in Russia will be a partial offset.

Shown above are the third quarter 2017 key metrics for Middle East & Africa. Our operating margin and pre-tax loss improved sharply from a year ago even though all other key metrics were lower.

The top line was down due to lower wholesale volume, largely reflecting lower industry.

Industry SAAR for the region, at 3.4 million units, was down 200,000 units from 2016. Within this, the markets where we participate declined 400,000 units.

Our market share was 4.0%, down two-tenths of a percentage point due to unfavorable market mix. In the markets where we participate, our share was up three-tenths of a percentage point, driven by higher share in Northern and Southern Africa.

As shown below the chart, our pre-tax result in the first nine months improved from a year ago despite declines in all other key metrics.

Asia Pacific SAAR was 46.6 million units, up 3.3 million units, driven by a 2.2 million unit increase in China SAAR, estimated at 29.5 million units, and a 400,000 unit increase in India SAAR, estimated at 4.5 million units.

Asia Pacific market share was 3.4%, down three-tenths of a percentage point, with China share decreasing four-tenths of a percentage point to 4.2%, reflecting increased competitive entries in the SUV segment.

Asia Pacific’s operating margin and pre-tax profit both increased significantly from a year ago.

In the quarter, our China joint ventures contributed $241 million to pre-tax profit, reflecting our equity share of the JVs’ after-tax earnings. This was $79 million lower than last year. Net income margin was 12.2%, down 1.2 percentage points, reflecting negative industry pricing and unfavorable volume and mix.

As shown above, Asia Pacific’s third quarter 2017 pre-tax profit was $158 million higher than a year ago due to improvements in most operations outside China, particularly in Australia and India.

Favorable cost performance, our third consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvement, drove the improvement, reflecting material cost reductions and lower structural costs.

Market factors were about flat with favorable volume and mix about offsetting lower net pricing. The favorable volume and mix was driven by our high-margin vehicles, mainly Explorer and Ranger, which achieved record quarterly sales. The lower net pricing reflects continued negative pricing trends in China. In the quarter, the rate of negative pricing in China continued to slow since the fourth quarter of 2015. We continue to expect full year negative pricing for the industry.

Unfavorable cost performance was driven by cost increases to support higher volumes and continued investment for future product and regulatory actions; it includes the impact of plant launches during the second half of 2015. The investments in structural cost were offset partially by our continued focus on material cost efficiencies.

Unfavorable exchange reflects mainly the impact of the weaker Chinese yuan; the Company has a substantial net revenue exposure to this currency.stronger Thai baht and Indian rupee.


For 2017, we continue to expect Asia Pacific’s pre-tax profit to improve from 2016 due to lower cost and favorable volume and mix. Partial offsets will be lower industry pricing in China and unfavorable exchange because of a weaker RMB.

FINANCIAL SERVICES SEGMENT

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

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

Financing Margin:
Financing margin variance is the period-to-period change in financing margin yield multiplied by the present period average managed receivables at prior period exchange rates. This calculation is performed at the product and country level and then aggregated. Financing margin yield equals revenue, less interest expense and scheduled depreciation for the period, divided by average managed receivables for the same period
Financing margin changes are driven by changes in revenue and interest expense. Changes in revenue are primarily driven by the level of market interest rates, cost assumptions in pricing, mix of business, and competitive environment. Changes in interest expense are primarily driven by the level of market interest rates, borrowing spreads, and asset-liability management

Credit Loss:
Credit loss is the change in the provision for credit losses at prior period exchange rates. For analysis purposes, management splits the provision for credit losses into net charge-offs and the change in the allowance for credit losses
Net charge-off changes are primarily driven by the number of repossessions, severity per repossession, and recoveries. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are primarily driven by changes in historical trends in credit losses and recoveries, changes in the composition and size of Ford Credit’s present portfolio, changes in trends in historical used vehicle values, and changes in economic conditions. For additional information on the allowance for credit losses, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates - Allowance for Credit Losses” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 20152016 Form 10-K Report

Lease Residual:
Lease residual measures changes to residual performance at prior period exchange rates. For analysis purposes, management splits residual performance primarily into residual gains and losses, and the change in accumulated supplemental depreciation
Residual gain and loss changes are primarily driven by the number of vehicles returned to Ford Credit and sold, and the difference between the auction value and the depreciated value (which includes both base and accumulated supplemental depreciation) of the vehicles sold. Changes in accumulated supplemental depreciation are primarily driven by changes in Ford Credit’s estimate of the expected auction value at the end of the lease term, and changes in the estimate of the number of vehicles that will be returned to it and sold. For additional information on accumulated supplemental depreciation, refer to the “Critical Accounting Estimates - Accumulated Depreciation on Vehicles Subject to Operating Leases” section of Item 7 of Part II of our 20152016 Form 10-K Report

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

Other:
Primarily includes operating expenses, other revenue, and insurance expenses at prior period exchange rates
Changes in operating expenses are primarily driven by salaried personnel costs, facilities costs, and costs associated with the origination and servicing of customer contracts
In general, other revenue changes are primarily driven by changes in earnings related to market valuation adjustments to derivatives (primarily related to movements in interest rates) and other miscellaneous items

Ford Credit. The chart below details the key metrics for Ford Credit for third quarter of 2016.

q32016fcmetrics7.jpg

In the third quarter of 2016, Ford Credit’s pre-tax profit was strong – the best quarterly profit since 2011 – and receivables were higher than a year ago, in line with expectations. Portfolio performance remained robust. FICO scores remained consistent. The over-60-day delinquency ratio of 16 basis points in the third quarter of 2016 continued at the low end of Ford Credit’s historical experience. The loss-to-receivables ratio of 45 basis points was up 11 basis points, also below, but approaching, Ford Credit’s historical experience. Originations, servicing, and collections practices remained disciplined and consistent.

As a result,consolidation of the supply of off-lease vehicles is higher and will continueForso joint venture.

Ford Credit continues to grow for the next several years. The increased supply of used vehicles, along with higher new vehicle incentives, is resulting in lower auction values, particularly in smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles given low fuel prices. We expect this trend to continue, and we are planningplan for lower auction values, going forward.but its outlook has improved. Ford Credit now expects three-year full year 2017 auction values to be down about 3% compared with 2016 at constant mix.

Given significant industry growth in leasing and higher new vehicle incentives, we lowered our projection on residual values which makes the relative cost of leasing higher. As a result,We now expect Ford Credit’s lease sharefull year 2017 pre-tax profit to exceed $2 billion driven by strong volume and lease placement volume in the third quarter of 2016 were lower compared to a year ago.

Ford Credit’s off-lease vehicle auction values in the third quarter of 2016 were lower than a year agomix and slightly lower than the prior quarter, with 36-month off-lease auction values about $600 lower year-over-year. Ford Credit’s auction performance has been consistent with the industry when comparing similar vehicle age and segment.

On longer-term financing, Ford Credit’s average retail term remains largely unchanged from last year, and retail contracts of 73 months and longer continued to be a relatively small part of Ford Credit’s business.

Finally, the average placement FICO score remained consistent with the second quarter and the same period last year, reflecting Ford Credit's consistent underwriting practices.

ALL OTHER

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

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

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

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

Our key balance sheet metrics include total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (collectively “Automotive cash”), Automotive liquidity, which includes Automotive cash and total available committed credit lines, and cash net of debt.
 
At September 30, 2016,2017, we had $24.3$26.1 billion of Automotive cash, of which 85%82% was held by consolidated entities domiciled in the United States. We target to have an average ongoing Automotive cash balance of about $20 billion. We expect to have periods when we will be above or below this amount due toto:  (i) future cash flow expectations, such as for pension contributions, debt maturities, capital investments, investments in future opportunities, or restructuring requirements, (ii) short-term timing differences, and (iii) changes in the global economic environment.

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


Our Automotive cash investments primarily include U.S. Department of Treasury obligations, federal agency securities, bank time deposits with investment-grade institutions, corporate investment-grade securities, commercial paper rated A-1/P-1 or higher, and debt obligations of a select group of non-U.S. governments, non-U.S. governmental agencies, and supranational institutions. The average maturity of these investments ranges from about 90 days to up to aboutis approximately one year, and is adjusted based on market conditions and liquidity needs. We monitor our Automotive cash levels and average maturity on a daily basis.

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

In addition to our target Automotive cash balance, we also target to maintain a corporate credit facility, discussed below, for our Automotive business of about $10 billion to protect against exogenous shocks. Our corporate credit facility is discussed below. We assess the appropriate long-term target for total Automotive liquidity, comprised ofwhich includes Automotive cash and the corporate credit facility, to be about $30 billion, which is an amount we believe is sufficient to support our business priorities and to protect our business. At September 30, 2016,2017, we had $35.2$37 billion of Automotive liquidity. Our Automotive cash and Automotive liquidity targets could be reduced over time based on improved operating performance and changes in our risk profile.
 
Changes in Automotive Cash. Changes in Automotive cash are summarized below (in billions):

q32016autocashflow7.jpgq32017autocash7a.jpg

In managing our Automotive business, we classify changes in Automotive cash into operating and other items. Operating items include: Automotive segment pre-tax profits, capital spending, which we report as an operating cash flow as it is a key contributor to our Automotive segment financial results, depreciation and tooling amortization, changes in working capital, and All Otherother and timing differences. OtherNon-operating items include: separation payments, transactions with other segments, acquisitions and divestitures, changes in Automotive debt, contributions to funded pension plans, and dividends paid to shareholders.shareholder distributions.

Third quarter 20162017 Automotive operating cash flow was $2$1.7 billion negative, reflecting primarily reflecting the seasonal impact of lower production and dealer stocks on working capital and timing differences. First nine months 2016 Automotive operating cash flow was a strong $4.9 billion positive, more than explained by Automotive segment pre-tax profit.differences and other payments net of accrual changes.

Third quarter 2016 capital
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


Capital spending was $1.7 billion in the third quarter of 2017, and first nine months 2016our outlook for full year capital spending was $4.9 billion. Full year 2016 capital spending is expected to beremains on track for about $7 billion. Based on expected cash flows and the identification of additional opportunities for profitable growth, the ongoing amount of capital spending to support product development, growth, restructuring, and infrastructure is expected to increase tobe about $9$8 billion annually bythrough 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and AnalysisIn the third quarter of Financial Condition and Results2017, we made over $200 million in pension contributions to our funded plans. We now expect full year contributions to our funded plans to total about $1.5 billion. This is higher than our prior guidance of Operations (Continued)about $1 billion, as we plan to pull ahead about $500 million of 2018 planned funding into the fourth quarter of 2017 to achieve a cash tax benefit.

Shareholder distributions were about $600 million in the third quarter of 2017. For the full year, we expect distributions to be about $2.7 billion.
 

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

Available Credit Lines. Total committed Automotive credit lines at September 30, 20162017 were $11.9$12 billion, consisting of $10.4 billion of our corporate credit facility and $1.5$1.6 billion of local credit facilities available tofor use by our non-U.S. Automotive affiliates. At September 30, 2016,2017, the utilized portion of the corporate credit facility was about $40$35 million, representing amounts utilized for letters of credit. At September 30, 2016,2017, the utilized portion of the local credit facilities was about $1$1.1 billion.

Our corporate credit facility was amended as of April 28, 2017 to extend the maturities by one year. Lenders under our corporate credit facility have commitments to us totaling $13.4 billion, with 75% of the commitments maturing on April 30, 20212022 and 25% of the commitments maturing on April 30, 2019.2020. We have allocated $3 billion of commitments to Ford Credit on an irrevocable and exclusive basis to support its growth and liquidity. Any borrowings by Ford Credit under the corporate credit facility would be guaranteed by us.

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

Debt. Total Automotive debt at September 30, 20162017 was $13.1$16.2 billion, which is about $300$280 million higher than it was at December 31, 2015.2016. The increase primarily reflectsis more than explained by an increase in local fundingdebt in international markets (including the impact of the adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) and foreign currency exchange effects, offset partially by debt repayments.

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

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

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

As a result of our pension de-risking strategy, the sensitivity of our funded status to changes in interest rates has been significantly reduced, especially in the United States.  In Europe, however, where our de-risking is less advanced, lower Eurozone and U.K. bond yields will negatively impact our funded status. Based on our planning assumptions for asset returns, discount rates, and contributions, we expect a modest deterioration in our funded status to improve at year-end 20162017 compared to year-end 2015.the end of last year.

CREDIT RATINGS

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

DBRS Limited (“DBRS”);
Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”);
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”); and
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of McGraw Hill Financial (“S&P”).

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

There have been no rating actions taken by these NRSROs since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.2017.

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

GDP AND INDUSTRY PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS

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

q32017planassumptions6.jpg

Since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we have updated our expectations for full year industry sales for the United States, Brazil, and China and raised Euro Area growth outlook on the back of a stronger year-to-date performance.

We are adjusting our 2017 guidance for the United States down to 17.4 million units, in line with weaker year-to-date performance in the fleet and retail sectors, while closely monitoring the effects of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on sales.

Our outlook for Brazil is slightly lower at 2.2 million units, but the economic recovery appears to be gaining traction despite a challenging political backdrop.

In Europe, 2017 industry volume is unchanged as compared to our prior guidance, with sales supported by firmer economic expansion in the Euro Area and ongoing recovery in Russia, but with Brexit-related headwinds in the United Kingdom.

In China, we are raising the industry guidance to 28.2 million units in 2017 to reflect a better-than-expected response to the extension of the purchase tax incentive on small vehicles, supported by a stable economy.

OUTLOOK

Business Environment

Our view of the global business environment is as follows:

Global growth outlook for 2016 remains modest at just under 3%

Full year GDP outlook reduced for United States on weak first half data; consumer spending remains solid with vehicle sales at high plateau

Europe growth steady; U.K. data improving after initial Brexit shock but tone heading into formal exit negotiations is driving a weaker sterling

China growth still supported by consumer and services sector strength, with vehicle purchase tax reduction in place through year end

Russia and Brazil economies show signs of bottoming out

2016 Planning Assumptions and Key Metrics

Based on the current economic environment, our industry and GDP planning assumptionsCompany guidance for 2016 include2017 includes the following:

This$1.85, which is offset partially by a steady consumer sector in most major markets. We are updating our global GDP guidance to 2.9%, the low endupper half of our prior range. For industry volumes, we are providing upward adjustments for China and Europe, with a small downward adjustment for Brazil.guidance.

2016 Business Unit and Total Company Guidance

q32016buguidance7.jpg

We continue to expect healthy returns from North America in 2016, with an operating margin in the 9% to 9.5% range. Excluding the door latch recall, the margin would exceed 9.5%, consistent with our original guidance for 2016. We continue to expect South America’s loss to be greater in 2016 than in 2015. In Europe, we continue to expect a significantly higher profit in 2016 compared to last year. In Middle East & Africa, we continue to expect a loss in 2016 compared to the small profit we earned last year. In Asia Pacific, we continue to expect a lower profit in 2016 than last year, driven by adverse China industry pricing and unfavorable exchange. For the full year, we continue to expect Ford Credit’s pre-tax profit to be about $1.8 billion.

Risk Factors

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

Decline in industry sales volume, particularly in the United States, Europe, or China, due to financial crisis, recession, geopolitical events, or other factors; 
Decline in Ford’s market share or failure to achieve growth;
Lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of Ford’s new or existing products or services;services, or failure to achieve expected growth;
Market shift away from sales of larger, more profitable vehicles beyond Ford’s current planning assumption, particularly in the United States;
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, protectionist trade policies, 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 other postretirement health care and life insurance liabilities impairing liquidity or financial condition;
Worse-than-assumed economic and demographic experience for pension and other postretirement benefit plans (e.g., discount rates or investment returns);
Restriction on use of tax attributes from tax law “ownership change;”  
The discovery of defects in vehicles resulting in delays in new model launches, recall campaigns, or increased warranty costs;
Increased safety, emissions, fuel economy, or other regulations resulting in higher costs, cash expenditures, and/or sales restrictions;
Unusual or significant litigation, governmental investigations, or adverse publicity arising out of alleged defects in products, perceived environmental impacts, or otherwise;
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, financial institutions, or other third parties seeking to increase their share of financing Ford vehicles; and
New or increased credit regulations, consumer or data protection regulations, or other regulations resulting in higher costs and/or additional financing restrictions.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Automotive Segment
 
Foreign Currency Risk. The net fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk), as of September 30, 2016,2017, was an asset of $791$101 million, compared with an asset of $322$528 million as of December 31,2015. 2016. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying exchange rates, in U.S. dollar terms, would be $2.7was $2.8 billion at September 30, 2016,2017, compared with $2.2$2.7 billion at December 31, 2015.2016.

Commodity Price Risk. The net fair value of commodity forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk) as of September 30, 20162017, was an asset of $6$23 million, compared with a liabilityan asset of $24$5 million as ofat December 31, 2015.2016. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying commodity prices, in U.S. dollar terms, would be $53was $63 million at September 30, 2016,2017, compared with $62$54 million at December 31, 2015.2016.


Financial Services Segment
  
Interest Rate Risk. To provide a quantitative measure of the sensitivity of its pre-tax cash flow to changes in interest rates, Ford Credit uses interest rate scenarios that assume a hypothetical, instantaneous increase or decrease of one percentage point in all interest rates across all maturities (a “parallel shift”), as well as a base case that assumes that all interest rates remain constant at existing levels. The differences in pre-tax cash flow between these scenarios and the base case over a 12-month period represent an estimate of the sensitivity of Ford Credit’s pre-tax cash flow. Under this model, Ford Credit estimates that at September 30, 2016,2017, all else constant, such an increase in interest rates would increasedecrease its pre-tax cash flow by $5$2 million over the next 12 months, compared with an increase of $7$21 million at December 31, 20152016. 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,James P. Hackett, 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 September 30, 2016,2017, and each has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 20162017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

Transit Connect Customs Ruling. On March 8, 2013, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) ruled that Transit Connects imported as passenger wagons and later converted into cargo vans are subject to the 25% duty applicable to cargo vehicles, rather than the 2.5% duty applicable to passenger vehicles. As a result of the ruling, CBP is requiring us to pay the 25% duty upon importation of Transit Connects that will be converted to cargo vehicles, and is seeking the difference in duty rates for prior imports. Our protest of the ruling within CBP was denied and we filed a challenge in the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”). On August 9, 2017, the CIT ruled in our favor. On October 6, 2017, CBP filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. If we prevail on appeal, we will receive a refund of the contested amounts paid, plus interest.
