Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. The latest earnings call from Ford Motor Company presented a mixed sentiment, reflecting both commendable achievements and notable challenges. The company reported strong revenue performance and market share gains, alongside strategic improvements in cost efficiency and credit performance. However, it also faced significant challenges, including tariff headwinds, quality and recall issues, and pressure in the commercial vehicle market. Record Revenue Achievement Ford reported a record $50 billion in revenue for the second quarter, underscoring the strength of its product lineup. This milestone highlights the company's ability to leverage its diverse offerings to capture market demand effectively. Ford Pro Performance Ford Pro's revenue grew by 11% to nearly $19 billion, achieving a 12.3% EBIT margin. This growth was driven by a robust product lineup and disciplined pricing strategies, showcasing Ford's strategic focus on its professional segment. Market Share Gains Ford increased its market share in the U.S. by 1.7 points sequentially, marking the best sales quarter for trucks in 20 years. This gain reflects the company's competitive positioning and strong consumer demand for its truck offerings. Improved Cost Efficiency Ford achieved its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year cost improvement, excluding the impact of tariffs. This demonstrates Ford's commitment to operational efficiency and cost management. Positive Credit Performance Ford Credit delivered $645 million of EBT, up $300 million, supported by a strong financing margin and receivables growth. This performance underscores the strength of Ford's financial services arm. Strong Free Cash Flow Ford generated $2.8 billion in adjusted free cash flow, maintaining a strong balance sheet with $28 billion in cash. This financial strength provides Ford with flexibility to invest in future growth opportunities. Tariff Headwinds Ford expects tariffs to be a net headwind of about $2 billion for the year, impacting adjusted EBIT. This challenge highlights the external pressures affecting Ford's profitability. Recall and Quality Challenges Ford faced a record number of recalls, although many were software-related, which are less costly than mechanical recalls. This indicates ongoing quality control challenges that the company needs to address. Model e Margin Pressure Despite revenue growth, Model e faced margin pressure due to high fixed costs associated with EV production. This reflects the broader industry challenge of balancing growth and profitability in the electric vehicle market. Price Pressure in Commercial Vehicles Pricing pressure was noted in the commercial van segment, although full-size pickup pricing remained strong. This suggests competitive dynamics in certain segments of Ford's commercial vehicle offerings. Forward-Looking Guidance Ford updated its full-year guidance, expecting adjusted EBIT between $6.5 billion and $7.5 billion, with adjusted free cash flow forecasted at $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion, despite a net tariff headwind of approximately $2 billion. The company highlighted a record quarterly revenue of $50 billion, with adjusted EBIT at $2.1 billion. Ford Pro maintained strong performance, while Model e more than doubled its revenue, achieving significant margin improvement. Ford also emphasized ongoing cost improvements and a reduction in CO2 credit purchases. In summary, Ford's earnings call presented a balanced view of its current performance and future prospects. While the company celebrated record revenues and market share gains, it also acknowledged challenges such as tariff impacts and quality issues. The forward-looking guidance reflects Ford's strategic focus on sustaining growth and improving operational efficiency amidst external pressures.

Fire destroys car dealership in Dutton, impacts downtown
A massive fire at a car dealership in Dutton has destroyed the business and forced the closure of part of the southwestern Ontario town's main street. Emergency crews were called to the Cotrac Ford Lincoln dealership on Currie Road just before 10 p.m. ET Wednesday night and found the sales centre at the business fully engulfed in flames, said Don MacLeod, the interim chief administrative officer in Dutton. "It's a nice modern-looking building that's been refurbished, and when I drove in this morning, the structure is virtually destroyed. There's bits and pieces standing, but it looks like a complete loss." Dutton has over 4,000 residents and is southwest of London. The dealership is in the centre of the town, across the street from the building that houses municipal offices, and is an integral part of the community, MacLeod added. "Our thoughts are with all the families that have workers there. We're very grateful that no lives were lost," he said. A 12-unit apartment building west of the dealership was evacuated late Wednesday night because of heavy smoke in the area and the chance that the fire could spread, MacLeod added. Residents who had nowhere to go were sent to the town's community centre and permitted to return home at 5 a.m. Thursday. Fire crews from nearby communities, including West Elgin, Southwold, and Central Elgin, came to help Dutton Dunwich firefighters. "The fire service was able to contain the fire and prevent spread to adjacent structures," MacLeod said.

Photo by Joe Raedle / Photographer: Joe Raedle/Getty I (Bloomberg) — Ford Motor Co. said its profit this year is poised for a sharp drop on the growing fallout from President Donald Trump's tariffs, underscoring the dramatic policy shifts in Washington that are upending the auto industry.

Create Account The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker forecast adjusted earnings before interest and taxes this year will fall by as much as 36%. That's in large part due to a net tariff impact of $2 billion, about $500 million more than the company expected previously. It's the latest sign that automakers are being whipsawed by Trump's policies. US tariffs on imported vehicles, auto parts, steel and aluminum – as well as goods from key US trading partners – have ballooned costs for Ford and its rivals. Ford is still facing stiff – and growing – tariff costs even though the company makes more automobiles in the US than any other carmaker. At the same time, the Trump administration's moves to unwind stringent tailpipe pollution regulations represent a potentially significant boost for Ford and its Detroit rivals, freeing them to sell highly profitable gas-guzzling SUVs and pickups. Taken together, those policy changes herald a long-term shift away from a globalized auto industry, Ford Chief Executive Officer Jim Farley said.

'We increasingly see Europe, North America and Asia becoming kind of regional businesses,' Farley said Wednesday on the automaker's earnings call. 'I believe this is quite a fundamental change.' Farley said the recent US trade deal with Japan to lower tariffs to 15% from 25% has handed competitors such as Toyota Motor Corp. a large cost advantage over Ford, when Japan's lower labor and currency costs are factored in. Ford's Kentucky-built Escape crossover faces a roughly $5,000 cost disadvantage to a Toyota Rav4, and as much as a $10,000 handicap between a Japan-built 4Runner SUV compared to a Ford Bronco made in Michigan, he said. 'It's really meaningful,' Farley said in a Bloomberg TV interview. The company is working with the Trump administration 'to minimize our tariff expense so that we can get more competitive.' He told analysts on a conference call that Trump's tariffs 'feel kind of long term.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Ford's shares were down less than 1% as of 7:20 a.m. Thursday in New York, paring a larger decline following the release of quarterly results. The stock has gained about 10% this year compared with the S&P 500 Index's roughly 8% advance. Tariff bill The larger tariff hit Ford now expects stems in part from Trump's decision to double steel and aluminum levies to 50% from 25% previously, Chief Financial Officer Sherry House told reporters. Those duties impact Ford because they raise costs for its material suppliers, which in turn pass those expenses on to the carmaker. Another factor pushing up costs are tariffs imposed to curb the flow of fentanyl into the US. Those tariffs have stayed higher for longer than Ford expected, House said. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'The administration is aware of these multiple tariffs and is working with with us to get this right,' House said. Ford's tariff tally is just the latest to highlight fallout that volatile US trade policies have created in the auto industry. General Motors Co. last week said tariffs cut its second-quarter earnings by $1.1 billion, part of an expected a $4 billion to $5 billion impact GM expects for the full-year. Jeep-maker Stellantis NV on Tuesday said import taxes will reduce earnings by about $1.7 billion this year. Profits have taken a hit as automakers have largely refrained from broad price increases to offset higher costs from tariffs. House told reporters the company expects vehicle pricing to be flat through the rest of the year. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Ford's warning largely overshadowed a second-quarter profit that beat Wall Street expectations. Adjusted earnings were 37 cents a share in the period, better than the 33 cents analysts expected on average. Adjusted EBIT of $2.1 billion also topped estimates. Slipping profits Ford Blue, the automaker's traditional business that includes internal combustion engine vehicles and gas-electric hybrids, earned $661 million before interest and taxes in the second quarter, roughly half the the $1.2 billion it generated a year earlier. Ford's US vehicle sales soared 14.2% in the quarter, as the company offered an employee-pricing-for-everyone discount program. The automaker's Ford Pro commercial business, which has been a bright spot, earned $2.3 billion before interest and taxes, down from $2.6 billion in last year's second quarter. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Ford's electric vehicle unit, Model-e, lost about $1.3 billion in the quarter, a larger deficit than the roughly $1.2 billion Ford lost on battery powered models during the same period last year. Ford's US EV sales plunged 31% in the quarter, as its models age and it temporarily halted sales of the electric Mustang Mach-e due to a safety recall. Ford has forecast that it could lose as much as $5.5 billion on EVs this year. Farley said on Wednesday's conference call that the company will reveal an updated EV strategy at an Aug. 11 event in Kentucky, including plans for 'a breakthrough electric vehicle.' 'This is a Model T moment for us at Ford,' he said. He also sees a big opportunity for Ford to get into the robotaxi business as a service provider for driverless vehicles. 'We really feel like the fleet management opportunity is a big upside for Ford Pro,' Farley said of the growing network of robotaxis. Farley also is struggling to rein in a rash of recalls that has reached record levels. Ford is scrambling to improve quality and to lose its distinction as the most recalled automaker in America. The company took at $570 million charge in the second quarter to cover the cost of recalling nearly 700,000 sport-utility vehicles for a flaw that could cause engine fires. —With assistance from Matthew Miller and Tonya Garcia.
