\n– 2 – Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
\nFord Motor Company (“Ford”) hereby incorporates by reference its news release
\ndated July 26, 2011, which is filed as Exhibit 99 hereto.
\nFord will conduct two conference calls on July 26, 2011 to review preliminary
\nsecond quarter 2011 financial results. Beginning at 9:00 a.m., Ford’s President
\nand Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally and Executive Vice President and Chief
\nFinancial Officer Lewis Booth will host a presentation for the investment
\ncommunity and news media. Investors may access this presentation by dialing
\n877-415-3184 (or 1-857-244-7327 from outside the United States). The passcode
\nfor either telephone number is a verbal response of “Ford Earnings.”
\nAt 11:00 a.m., Ford Vice President and Controller Bob Shanks, Ford Vice
\nPresident and Treasurer Neil Schloss, and Ford Motor Credit Company Chief
\nFinancial Officer Mike Seneski will host a presentation for fixed income
\nanalysts and investors. Investors may access this presentation by dialing
\n866-318-8612 (or 1-617-399-5131 from outside the United States). The passcode
\nfor either telephone number is a verbal response of “Ford Fixed Income.”
\nA listen-only webcast and supporting presentation materials for these calls is
\navailable on the Internet at www.shareholder.ford.com. Investors also may
\naccess replays of the presentations beginning after 2:00 p.m. the day of the
\nevent through Tuesday, August 2, 2011 by dialing 888-286-8010 (or 1-617-801-6888
\nfrom outside the United States). The passcode for replays of the earnings call
\nis 51847137; the passcode for replays of the fixed income call is 38855937. All
\ntimes referenced above are in Eastern Time.
\nPlease note that Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K discusses various financial
\nmeasures “excluding special items” and\/or with other adjustments. The most
\ndirectly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance
\nwith U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) are these same
\nmeasures including special items and\/or without adjustments. We believe that
\nshowing these measures on a basis that excludes special items and\/or includes
\nother adjustments is useful to investors, because it allows investors to
\nevaluate our results excluding or adjusting for items related to our efforts to
\nmatch production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model
\nmix, as well as items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of
\nearnings from ongoing operating activities.
\nIn addition, Exhibit 99 discusses our key cash metrics, Automotive
\noperating-related cash flow (which we believe best represents the ability of our
\nAutomotive operations to generate cash), and Automotive gross cash (including
\ncash and cash equivalents and net marketable securities). We believe that
\nAutomotive operating-related cash flow is useful to investors because it
\nincludes elements that we consider to be related to our operating activities
\n(e.g., capital spending), and excludes cash flow elements that we do not
\nconsider to be related to the ability of our operations to generate cash. The
\nmost comparable U.S. GAAP measure is Cash flows from operating activities of
\ncontinuing operations on our statement of cash flows. The most comparable U.S.
\nGAAP measure for Automotive gross cash is the sum of the individual line items
\non our balance sheet for each of the elements within that measure (Cash and cash
\nequivalents and Marketable securities).<\/p>\n
