NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. PRESENTATION

Our financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. We show certain of our financial statements on both a consolidated and a sector basis for our Automotive and Financial Services sectors. Intercompany items have been eliminated in both the consolidated and sector balance sheets. Where the presentation of these intercompany eliminations or consolidated adjustments differs between the consolidated and sector financial statements, reconciliations of certain line items are explained below in this Note or in the related financial statements and footnotes.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements reflect a fair statement of the results of operations and financial condition of Ford Motor Company, its consolidated subsidiaries, and consolidated VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary 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, 2015 (“2015 Form 10-K Report”). For purposes of this report, “Ford,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “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.

We reclassified certain prior year amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Reconciliations between Consolidated and Sector Financial Statements

Sector to Consolidated Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities. The difference between the total assets and total liabilities as presented on our sector balance sheet and consolidated balance sheet is the result of netting deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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. The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and disclosures.

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. The new standard supersedes present U.S. GAAP guidance on leases and requires substantially all leases to be reported on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, as well as additional disclosures. The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the potential impact to our financial statements and disclosures.

ASU 2014-09, Revenue - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that requires recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard supersedes U.S. GAAP guidance on revenue recognition and requires the use of more estimates and judgments than the present standards, as well as additional disclosures. The FASB has issued several updates to the standard which i) defer the original effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption as of January 1, 2017 (ASU 2015-14); ii) clarify the application of the principal versus agent guidance (ASU 2016-08); and iii) clarify the guidance on inconsequential and perfunctory promises and licensing (ASU 2016-10). The new accounting standard will impact the timing of when certain arrangements are recognized as revenue as we move from a risk and rewards model to a control model. The new standard will also require a change in classification between revenue and costs relating to certain performance obligations within our sales arrangements. We are reviewing the method of adoption.

Net finance receivables subject to fair value (b)	$	97,379		$	94,248
Fair value	98,771			95,420

__________


(a)	On the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $5.1 billion and $5.4 billion, respectively, are reclassified to Other receivables, net, resulting in Finance receivables, net of $94.3 billion and $90.7 billion, respectively.


(b)	At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, excludes $2 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, of certain receivables (primarily direct financing leases) that are not subject to fair value disclosure requirements. The fair value of finance receivables is categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Excluded from finance receivables at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, was $219 million and $209 million, respectively, of accrued uncollected interest, which we report in Other assets on the balance sheet.

Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were consumer receivables of $30.7 billion and $27.6 billion, respectively, and non-consumer receivables of $26.8 billion and $26.1 billion, respectively, that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. The receivables are available only for payment of the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions; they are not available to pay the other obligations or the claims of Ford Credit’s other creditors. Ford Credit holds the right to receive the excess cash flows not needed to pay the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions.

Aging

For all finance receivables, we define “past due” as any payment, including principal and interest, that is at least 31 days past the contractual due date. The recorded investment of consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was $16 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables greater than 90 days past due and still accruing interest was $1 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The aging analysis of our finance receivables balances were as follows (in millions):



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Consumer
31-60 days past due	$	611	$	708

Credit Quality

Consumer Portfolio. Credit quality ratings for consumer receivables are based on aging. Refer to the aging table above.

Consumer receivables credit quality ratings are as follows:


•	Pass – current to 60 days past due


•	Special Mention – 61 to 120 days past due and in intensified collection status


•	Substandard – greater than 120 days past due and for which the uncollectible portion of the receivables has already been charged off, as measured using the fair value of collateral less costs to sell

Non-Consumer Portfolio. Dealers are assigned to one of four groups according to risk ratings as follows:


•	Group I – strong to superior financial metrics


•	Group II – fair to favorable financial metrics


•	Group III – marginal to weak financial metrics


•	Group IV – poor financial metrics, including dealers classified as uncollectible

Impaired Receivables

Impaired consumer receivables include accounts that have been rewritten or modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that are considered to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), as well as all accounts greater than 120 days past due. Impaired non-consumer receivables represent accounts with dealers that have weak or poor financial metrics or dealer financing that has been modified in TDRs. The recorded investment of consumer receivables that were impaired at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $373 million, or 0.6% of consumer receivables, and $375 million, or 0.6% of consumer receivables, respectively. The recorded investment of non-consumer receivables that were impaired at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $149 million, or 0.4% of non-consumer receivables, and $134 million, or 0.4% of non-consumer receivables, respectively. Impaired finance receivables are evaluated both collectively and specifically.

NOTE 6. INVENTORIES

All inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost for a substantial portion of U.S. inventories is determined on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis. LIFO was used for 31% and 27% of total inventories at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Cost of other inventories is determined by costing methods that approximate a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis.

Net periodic benefit cost/(income)	$	(122	)	$	(90	)	$	(9	)	$	18		$	25		$	24

Beginning in 2016, we changed the method used to estimate the service and interest costs for pension and OPEB plans that utilize a yield curve approach. We now apply the specific spot rates along the yield curve to the relevant cash flows instead of using a single effective discount rate. Service and interest costs in the first quarter were about $145 million lower with the new method than they would have been under the prior method.

Pension Plan Contributions

During 2016, we expect to contribute about $1.5 billion from Automotive cash and cash equivalents to our worldwide funded pension plans (including discretionary contributions of about $400 million), and to make about $300 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans, for a total of about $1.8 billion. In the first three months of 2016, we contributed about $400 million to our worldwide funded pension plans and made about $100 million of benefit payments to participants in unfunded plans.

NOTE 10. 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.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

Guarantees and Indemnifications

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 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.

Item 1. Financial Statements (Continued)

FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

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):



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Maximum potential payments	$	240	$	284
Carrying value of recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities	23		23

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.

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.

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 $2.4 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 Receivables and Other assets.

The estimate of our future warranty and field service action costs, net of supplier recoveries, for the periods ended March 31 were as follows (in millions):

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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 March 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

The accompanying sector balance sheets and the related sector statements of income and of cash flows are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the review procedures applied in the review of the basic financial statements.

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. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Net income attributable to Ford	$	2,452		$	1,299		$	7,373

Discussion of Automotive sector, Financial Services sector, and Company results of operations below is on a pre-tax basis and excludes special items unless otherwise specifically noted.

In the first quarter of 2016, the Company’s pre-tax profit of $3.8 billion was a record for any quarter.

As detailed in Note 15 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, we allocate special items to a separate reconciling item, as opposed to allocating them among the Automotive sector operating segments and Other Automotive, reflecting the fact that management excludes these items from its review of operating segment results for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources among the segments.

We group special items into three categories to provide useful information to investors about the nature of the special items: “Pension and OPEB Remeasurements,” “Personnel and Dealer-Related Items,” and “Other Items.” The first category includes pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses. These gains and losses, generally recognized in the fourth quarter, are not reflective of our underlying Automotive business results. The second category includes items related to our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix and therefore helps investors track amounts related to those activities. The third category includes other items that we do not generally consider to be indicative of our ongoing operating activities, and therefore allows investors analyzing our pre-tax results to identify certain infrequent significant items that they may wish to exclude when considering the trend of ongoing operating results.

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

The following table details Automotive sector pre-tax special items in each category for the first quarter of 2016 and full year 2015:

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

Results by Segment. The chart below shows our first quarter 2016 Company pre-tax results by Automotive business unit, along with Other Automotive which is mainly net interest expense, and our Financial Services sector.

Automotive results were driven by North America’s quarterly record of $3.1 billion in pre-tax profit, as well as Europe’s best quarterly profit since 2008, and continued strong performance in Asia Pacific. In total, our automotive operations outside of North America delivered a profit of almost $400 million, which was more than $400 million higher than a year ago.

Financial Services pre-tax profit of $499 million reflects continued strong performance at Ford Credit.

Compared with the first quarter of 2015, the Company’s pre-tax profit in the first quarter of 2016 improved by 116%, driven by sharply higher automotive results.

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

AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR

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 Operating Margin – defined as Automotive pre-tax results, excluding special items and Other Automotive, divided by Automotive revenue


•	Industry Volume and Market Share – based, in part, on estimated vehicle registrations; includes medium and heavy duty trucks


•	SAAR – seasonally adjusted annual rate


•	Automotive Cash – includes cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities

In general, we measure year-over-year change in Automotive pre-tax operating profit for our total Automotive sector and reportable segments 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 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, and special lease offers


•	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

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

•

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


•	Net Interest and Other


◦	Net Interest – primarily measures profit variance driven by changes in our Automotive sector’s centrally-managed net interest, which consists of interest expense, interest income, fair market value adjustments on our cash equivalents and marketable securities portfolio (excluding strategic equity investments held in marketable securities), and other adjustments


◦	Other – items not included in the causal factors defined above

The charts on the following pages detail first quarter 2016 key metrics and the change in first quarter 2016 pre-tax results compared with the first quarter of 2015 by causal factor for our Automotive sector and its segments.

The key market factors and financial metrics for our Automotive business in the first quarter of 2016 are shown above. All metrics were strong and improved compared with the first quarter of 2015. We grew the top line, with wholesale volumes up 10% and automotive revenue up 11%, or 15% at constant exchange.

Our global market share at 7.1% improved two-tenths of a percentage point driven by gains in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Global SAAR, estimated at 90.1 million units, was up 2.6 million units or 3% compared with the first quarter of 2015.

Our Automotive operating margin and pre-tax profit at 9.8% and $3.3 billion, respectively, were both records and more than double 2015 levels.

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

As shown above, the $2 billion improvement in Automotive pre-tax profit in the first quarter of 2016 was driven by higher volume, favorable mix, and lower costs. Volume and mix was favorable in all regions, except South America, reflecting the strength of our portfolio and the success of new product introductions. Stock changes are more than explained by North America, primarily reflecting the non-repeat of our F-150 launch in Kansas City in first quarter of 2015. Lower net pricing was a partial offset. This mainly reflected a one-time stock accrual effect in North America.

Total costs and expenses. In the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, total costs and expenses, including special items, for our Automotive sector were $32.8 billion and $30.9 billion, respectively, a difference of $1.9 billion. The detail for the change is shown below (in billions):



	First Quarter
Explanation of change:	2016 Lower/(Higher) 2015

Contribution costs
Material excluding commodities	0.4
Commodities	0.5
Warranty, freight, and other	0.1
Structural costs	(0.4		)
Special items	(0.2		)
Total	$	(1.9	)

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

Shown above are the first quarter 2016 key metrics for the North America region, where we expect to have another outstanding year. A major factor in the quarter was the full deployment of our F-150 strategy, which is delivering great results for our business. In the first quarter of 2016, wholesale volume and revenue both increased sharply.

Our North America market share improved, with U.S. share increasing by eight-tenths of a percentage point to 15.5%. The improvement was driven by strong fleet performance, mainly SUVs, Transit, which now has a leadership position in the commercial van segment, and F-Series.

North America’s SAAR, at 21.3 million units, was up 700,000 units compared with the first quarter of 2015. U.S. SAAR, at 17.5 million units, was up 400,000 units compared with the first quarter of 2015.

Our operating margin at 12.9% and pre-tax profits of $3.1 billion were both records.

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

The $1.5 billion improvement in North America’s first quarter 2016 pre-tax profit was driven by favorable volume and mix and lower contribution costs. Lower net pricing and structural cost increases, to support a continued strong product line-up and future growth, were partial offsets.

The favorable change in stocks and about 40% of the increase in incentives was caused by normalization of the volume of F-150, which was being launched in Kansas City a year ago.

Although net pricing was lower in the first quarter of 2016, average U.S. retail transaction prices increased compared to year-ago levels, reflecting improved mix.

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

In South America, results were impacted negatively by the very difficult external conditions, particularly in Brazil where the economy continues to contract and industry volumes in the first quarter of 2016 declined by more than a quarter compared to prior year. In Argentina, our business was negatively impacted by the devaluation of the Peso, however, we are encouraged by actions taken by the new government which have the potential to improve future market conditions.

All of our key metrics deteriorated in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015. The top line was down sharply with wholesales lower by 38% and revenue lower by 44%.

Our market share for the region, at 8.4%, was down by 1.2 percentage points, as we focused on profitable share amid high industry discounting.

Industry SAAR for the region, at 3.7 million units, was 900,000 units lower than in the first quarter of 2015.

In the first quarter of 2016, operating margin and pre-tax results for the region were both lower than prior year.

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

As shown above, the higher loss in South America in the first quarter of 2016 was more than explained by lower industry volumes – primarily the result of the 29% reduction in Brazil. This was offset partially by our continued drive to reduce costs as we realized the benefits of actions taken in 2015, including a 10% reduction in our salaried personnel and overhead and a 20% reduction in labor costs. We also eliminated the third crew at our Camacari plant in the first quarter of 2016.

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

Shown above are the key metrics for Europe, where our Transformation Strategy is building momentum. All metrics improved in the first quarter of 2016. We grew the top line with wholesale volume and revenue at constant exchange, both growing by 6%.

Our market share in Europe improved three-tenths of a percentage point to 8.0%, reflecting the strong performance of commercial and SUV vehicles, including Ranger, Transit, Kuga, and EcoSport. Ford remained Europe’s best-selling commercial vehicle brand in the first quarter of 2016.

Europe SAAR, at 20.1 million units, was 5% higher in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015.

Our operating margin at 6.3% and pre-tax profit of $434 million both improved significantly from last year’s loss.

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

As shown above, every aspect of the business contributed to the nearly half-billion dollar improvement in Europe’s pre-tax results in the first quarter of 2016. Favorable market factors were driven by improved product and series mix with strong consumer acceptance of our new products and increasing demand for higher series vehicles. Higher industry volumes also contributed. Contribution and structural costs were both lower in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015.

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

Shown above are key metrics for the Middle East & Africa region, where the business was adversely impacted by weak local currencies, low oil prices, and political strife. Wholesale volume and revenue both declined in the first quarter of 2016.

Our market share for the region was unchanged at 4.3%. SAAR for the region, at 4.0 million units, was down 300,000 units compared with the first quarter of 2015.

Our financial results, which deteriorated to a loss of $14 million in the first quarter of 2016, reflect exchange impacts, primarily the South African Rand, and higher cost.

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

In Asia Pacific region, we had another strong quarter, driven by our great new products. All key metrics improved in the first quarter of 2016. Wholesale volumes increased by 9% and revenue from consolidated operations improved by 18%, or 25% at constant exchange.

Asia Pacific’s market share was 3.6% in the first quarter of 2016, up three-tenths of a percentage point and a record for the first quarter. China’s market share was 4.5%, up two-tenths of a percentage point compared with the first quarter of 2015 driven by SUVs. Sales in the region and China were a record for the first quarter.

Asia Pacific’s first quarter 2016 SAAR was 40.9 million units, up 2 million units from the first quarter of 2015, more than explained by a 2.4 million unit increase in China industry SAAR which is estimated at 26.2 million units for the first quarter.

Asia Pacific’s operating margin was 8.2%, up 3.6 percentage points from 2015, and pre-tax results of $220 million more than doubled compared with the first quarter of 2015. Our China joint ventures contributed $443 million to pre-tax profit in the first quarter of 2016, reflecting our equity share of their after-tax earnings which was $83 million higher compared with the first quarter of 2015. The net income margin at our China joint ventures was 16.4%.

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

Shown above are the factors driving our higher first quarter 2016 pre-tax results in Asia Pacific. Favorable volume was driven by a strong industry in China, where we continue to leverage the government incentive program with our strong line-up of vehicles with 1.6L or smaller engines. Higher market share and favorable mix reflect the strength of our new products, including the Edge, Ranger, and Lincoln.

Higher structural costs to support future growth and lower net pricing in China were partial offsets. In the first quarter of 2016, the rate of decline in pricing in China slowed compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. We continue to expect full-year negative pricing in China in the 5-6 percent range.

FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR

Ford Credit has two operations, North America and International. 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 finance receivables and net investment in operating leases 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 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 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 primarily 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 2015 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 of the vehicles sold. Changes in accumulated supplemental depreciation are primarily driven by changes in Ford Credit’s estimate of the number of vehicles that will be returned to it and sold, and changes in the estimate of the expected auction value at the end of the lease term. 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 2015 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

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

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

In the first quarter of 2016, Ford Credit continued to grow, while remaining strongly profitable. Contract volumes were largely unchanged with lower volume in the United States and growth in all other markets.

Managed receivables were $132 billion at March 31, 2016, up 17% from the first quarter of 2015, as the portfolio continues to grow in line with Ford’s growth. Managed receivables equal net finance receivables of $100.3 billion and $86.5 billion and net investment in operating leases of $25.9 billion and $22.0 billion reported on Ford Credit’s balance sheet at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively, excluding unearned interest supplements and residual support of $4.6 billion and $3.8 billion, allowance for credit losses of $500 million and $400 million, and other (primarily accumulated supplemental depreciation) of $500 million and $200 million at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

Portfolio performance remains robust. The over-60-day delinquency ratio, at 14 basis points in the first quarter of 2016, remains at the low end of Ford Credit’s historical experience. The loss-to-receivables ratio in the first quarter of 2016 was 44 basis points, up 11 basis points compared with the first quarter of 2015. U.S. retail and lease credit losses have been better than Ford Credit’s expectations for an extended time period. Credit losses have been trending higher for the last few quarters, as they continue to normalize toward Ford Credit’s expectations.

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

The improvement of $31 million in pre-tax profit in the first quarter of 2016 compared with the first quarter of 2015 is more than explained by favorable volume and mix, driven by increases in consumer and non-consumer finance receivables globally, as well as an increase in operating leases in North America.

Credit losses were $65 million higher, as Ford Credit increased the reserve and had higher charge-offs in North America, primarily reflecting higher severity.

Unfavorable lease residual performance of $61 million in the first quarter of 2016 primarily reflects higher depreciation on Ford Credit’s North America lease portfolio, as Ford Credit expects lower auction values in the future.

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

Industry leasing continues to grow. Ford’s lease share of retail sales was 26% in the first quarter of 2016 but remains below the industry. Ford Credit and Ford work together under a One Ford Lease Strategy that considers share, term, model mix, geography, and other factors. Full year lease share is expected to be lower than the first quarter of 2016, reflecting the parameters of our strategy.

Ford Credit’s used vehicle auction prices in the first quarter of 2016 were lower than a year ago but up from the fourth quarter of 2015, although not as high as expected.

Ford Credit’s average retail term has remained largely consistent and lower than the industry. Retail contracts of 73 months and longer remain a relatively small part of Ford Credit’s business.

The average FICO score in the first quarter of 2016 reflected the mix of customers attracted by Ford’s marketing programs. These levels are consistent with Ford Credit’s experience over the last five years and reflect normal quarterly variances. Ford Credit uses proprietary credit scoring models, and its underwriting practices have been consistent for years. Ford Credit’s higher risk business, as classified at contract inception, consistently represents 5%-6% of its portfolio and has been stable for over 10 years.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Automotive Sector

Our Automotive liquidity strategy includes ensuring that we have sufficient liquidity available with a high degree of certainty throughout the business cycle by generating cash from operations and maintaining access to other sources of funding. 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 to (i) future cash flow expectations such as for pension contributions, debt maturities, capital investments, or restructuring requirements, (ii) short-term timing differences, and (iii) changes in the global economic environment. In addition, we also target to maintain a revolving credit facility for our Automotive business of about $10 billion to protect against exogenous shocks. Our revolving credit facility is discussed below.

We assess the appropriate long-term target for total Automotive liquidity, comprised of Automotive cash and the revolving 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. Our Automotive cash and Automotive liquidity targets could be reduced over time based on improved operating performance and changes in our risk profile.

For a discussion of risks to our liquidity, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our 2015 Form 10-K Report, as well as Note 16 of the Notes to the Financial Statements, regarding commitments and contingencies that could impact our liquidity.

Our key liquidity metrics are Automotive cash, Automotive liquidity, and operating-related cash flow (which best represents the ability of our Automotive operations to generate cash).

Automotive cash is detailed below as of the dates shown (in billions):



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		March 31, 2015
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5.6	$	5.4	$	5.1
Marketable securities	18.7		18.2		14.4
Automotive cash	$	24.3	$	23.6	$	19.5

Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities are held primarily in highly liquid investments, which provide for anticipated and unanticipated cash needs. Our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities 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 about one year, and is adjusted based on market conditions and liquidity needs. We monitor our cash levels and average maturity on a daily basis. At March 31, 2016, consolidated entities domiciled in the United States held 85% of our total Automotive cash.

Automotive cash and liquidity as of the dates shown were as follows (in billions):



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015		March 31, 2015
Automotive cash	$	24.3	$	23.6	$	19.5
Available credit lines
Revolving credit facility, unutilized portion	10.3		10.3		10.1
Local lines available to foreign affiliates, unutilized portion	0.6		0.6		0.6
Automotive liquidity	$	35.2	$	34.5	$	30.2

In managing our business, we classify changes in Automotive cash into operating-related and other items (which includes the impact of certain special items, contributions to funded pension plans, certain tax-related transactions, acquisitions and divestitures, capital transactions with the Financial Services sector, dividends paid to shareholders, and other—primarily financing-related).

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

We believe the cash flow analysis reflected in the table below is useful to investors because it includes in operating-related cash flow elements that we consider to be related to our Automotive operating activities (e.g., capital spending) and excludes cash flow elements that we do not consider to be related to the ability of our operations to generate cash. This differs from a cash flow statement prepared in accordance with GAAP and differs from Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Changes in Automotive cash are summarized below (in billions):



	First Quarter
	2016			2015
Automotive cash at end of period	$	24.3		$	19.5
Automotive cash at beginning of period	23.6			21.7
Change in Automotive cash	$	0.7		$	(2.2	)

Dividends/Other items	(1.7		)	(0.6		)
Change in Automotive cash	$	0.7		$	(2.2	)

_________


(a)	Working capital is comprised of changes in receivables, inventory, and trade payables.


(b)	Primarily expense and payment timing differences for items such as pension and OPEB, compensation, marketing, warranty, and timing differences between unconsolidated affiliate profits and dividends received. Also includes other factors, such as the impact of tax payments and vehicle financing activities between Automotive and Financial Services sectors.


(c)	Primarily distributions from Ford Holdings (Ford Credit’s parent) and tax payments received from Ford Credit.

With respect to “Changes in working capital,” in general we carry relatively low Automotive sector 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.

Credit Agreement. Lenders under our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 30, 2015 and as further amended (the “revolving credit facility”) have commitments to us totaling $13.4 billion, with 75% of the commitments maturing on April 30, 2020 and 25% of the commitments maturing on April 30, 2018. 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 revolving credit facility would be guaranteed by us.

The revolving 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 revolving 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 revolving credit 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 “Total Company” below), the guarantees of certain subsidiaries will be required.

At March 31, 2016, the utilized portion of the revolving credit facility was $45 million, representing amounts utilized for letters of credit.

Although not yet complete, we are in the process of amending our revolving credit facility. When complete, we expect to maintain total commitments of $13.4 billion, extend the respective maturity dates by one year, and maintain the $3 billion allocation to Ford Credit. The closing will occur during the second quarter of 2016.

Other Automotive Credit Facilities. At March 31, 2016, we had about $1.4 billion of local credit facilities available to non-U.S. Automotive affiliates, of which $807 million had been utilized.

Net Cash. Our Automotive sector net cash calculation as of the dates shown was as follows (in billions):



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Automotive cash	$	24.3	$	23.6
Less:
Long-term debt	11.1		11.0
Debt payable within one year	1.9		1.8
Total debt	13.0		12.8
Net cash	$	11.3	$	10.8

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

Total Automotive debt at March 31, 2016 was about $200 million higher than it was at December 31, 2015. The increase primarily reflects local funding in international markets and foreign currency exchange, 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, Automotive interest, 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 Sufficiency. 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 grow our 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 dividend, and provide protection within an uncertain global economic environment.

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 to about $9 billion annually by 2020. Our capital spending was $7.1 billion and $7.4 billion in 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is expected to be about $7.7 billion in 2016.

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

Financial Services Sector

Ford Credit

Funding Overview. Ford Credit’s primary funding and liquidity objective is to maintain a strong investment grade balance sheet with ample liquidity to support its financing activities and growth under a variety of market conditions, including short-term and long-term market disruptions. Ford Credit’s funding strategy remains focused on diversification, and it plans to continue accessing a variety of markets, channels, and investors.

Ford Credit’s liquidity profile continues to be diverse, robust, and focused on maintaining liquidity levels that meet its business and funding requirements. Ford Credit regularly stress tests its balance sheet and liquidity to ensure that it continues to meet its financial obligations through economic cycles.

The chart below shows the trends in funding for Ford Credit’s managed receivables:

Ford Credit’s higher cash balance at the end of the first quarter of 2016 reflects pre-funding of near-term debt maturities.

Ford Credit projects year-end 2016 managed receivables to be in the range of $134 billion to $139 billion and securitized funding as a percent of managed receivables to be between 36% and 39%. Ford Credit expects the percentage of securitization to trend lower over time. The calendarization of the funding plan may result in quarterly fluctuations of the securitization percentage.

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

Public Term Funding Plan. The following table shows Ford Credit’s planned issuances for full-year 2016 and its global public term funding issuances through April 27, 2016, full-year 2015, and full-year 2014 (in billions), excluding short-term funding programs:



	Public Term Funding Plan
	2016
	Full-Year Forecast	Through April 27		Full-Year 2015		Full-Year 2014
Unsecured	$ 14-19	$	7	$	17	$	13
Securitizations (a)	12-15	7		13		15
Total	$ 26-34	$	14	$	30	$	28

__________


(a)	Includes Rule 144A offerings.

For 2016, Ford Credit projects full-year public term funding in the range of $26 billion to $34 billion. Both the amount and composition of their full-year funding plan are consistent with their issuance in 2015. Through April 27, 2016, Ford Credit has completed $14 billion of public term issuance, representing about half of their full-year public term funding plan.

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

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

Ford Credit targets liquidity of at least $25 billion. As of March 31, 2016, Ford Credit’s liquidity available for use was up $11.6 billion from year-end 2015, reflecting new committed ABS facilities and higher cash balances to meet their near-term maturities.

As of March 31, 2016, Ford Credit’s liquidity remained strong at $35.1 billion. Its sources of liquidity include cash, committed asset-backed facilities, unsecured credit facilities, and the corporate revolver allocation. As of March 31, Ford Credit’s liquidity sources including cash totaled $56.8 billion, up $7.1 billion from year-end.

Leverage. Ford Credit uses leverage, or the debt-to-equity ratio, to make various business decisions, including evaluating and establishing pricing for finance receivable and operating lease financing, and assessing its capital structure.

The following chart shows the calculation of Ford Credit’s financial statement leverage and managed leverage (in billions, except for ratios):

Ford Credit plans its managed leverage by considering prevailing market conditions and the risk characteristics of its business. Ford Credit targets managed leverage in the range of 8:1 to 9:1. Managed leverage at March 31, 2016 was above the targeted range, reflecting growth in managed receivables and the impact of a strong U.S. dollar.

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

Total Company

Equity. At March 31, 2016, Total equity attributable to Ford Motor Company was $29.6 billion, an increase of $963 million compared with December 31, 2015. The increase primarily reflects favorable changes in Retained earnings of $864 million related to Net income attributable to Ford Motor Company of $2.5 billion in the first three months of 2016, net of cash dividends declared of $1.6 billion; favorable changes in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) of $211 million; offset partially by increases in Treasury Stock of $145 million related to stock repurchases.

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 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.

The following rating actions have been taken by these NRSROs since the filing of our 2015 Form 10-K Report:


•	On February 16, 2016, Moody’s upgraded Ford and Ford Credit’s long-term ratings to Baa2 from Baa3 with a stable outlook.


•	On February 17, 2016, DBRS upgraded Ford and Ford Credit’s long-term ratings to BBB from BBB (low) with a stable trend.


•	On March 11, 2016, S&P upgraded Ford and Ford Credit’s long-term ratings to BBB from BBB- with a stable outlook.

OUTLOOK

Business Environment

We continue to expect the external environment this year to be one of growth globally with GDP expanding in the 3.1% to 3.5% range. This will be driven by the United States, a continued modest recovery in the Euro Area, growth in the United Kingdom despite increased volatility ahead of the June 2016 Brexit referendum, and continued growth in China, although at a slower pace than in recent years.

The U.S. dollar is expected to remain strong against most major currencies, and commodity prices, including oil, are expected to remain at low levels. We expect conditions in Brazil and Russia to remain difficult through 2016.

2016 Planning Assumptions and Key Metrics

Based on the current economic environment, our industry and GDP planning assumptions for 2016 include the following:

All in all, we see conditions as being supportive of growth in automotive industry sales globally and for the major markets shown above. We expect full-year industry sales by market to be unchanged from our prior guidance.

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

Our 2016 guidance for each of our business units is unchanged.

•	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.

We cannot be certain that any expectation, forecast, or assumption made in preparing forward-looking statements will prove accurate, or that any projection will be realized.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The interim financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended

March 31, 2016 and 2015 has not been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”). In reviewing such information, PwC has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for reviews of interim financial information. Readers should restrict reliance on PwC’s reports on such information accordingly. PwC is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for its reports on interim financial information, because such reports do not constitute “reports” or “parts” of registration statements prepared or certified by PwC within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Automotive Sector

Foreign Currency Risk. The net fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk), as of March 31, 2016, was an asset of $380 million compared with an asset of $322 million as of December 31, 2015. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying exchange rates, in U.S. dollar terms, would be $2.5 billion at March 31, 2016, compared with $2.2 billion at December 31, 2015.

Commodity Price Risk. The net fair value of commodity forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk) as of March 31, 2016 was a liability of $13 million, compared with a liability of $24 million as of December 31, 2015. The potential decrease in fair value from a 10% adverse change in the underlying commodity prices, in U.S. dollar terms, would be $63 million at March 31, 2016, compared with $62 million at December 31, 2015.

Financial Services Sector

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 March 31, 2016, all else constant, such an increase in interest rates would decrease its pre-tax cash flow by $7 million over the next 12 months, compared with an increase of $7 million at December 31, 2015. 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, 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 March 31, 2016, 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 March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

In the first quarter of 2016, we repurchased shares of Ford Common Stock from our employees or directors related to certain exercises of stock options, in accordance with our various compensation plans. We also completed a modest anti-dilutive share repurchase program to offset the dilutive effect of share-based compensation granted during 2016. The plan authorized repurchases of up to 10.7 million shares of Ford Common Stock.
