Ford Motor Company today reported a pre-tax operating loss of $424 million in the second quarter of 2009, excluding special items - a $609 million improvement compared with the second quarter of last year - as cost reductions, net pricing, Ford Credit results and market share helped offset the continued impact of the severe global economic downturn. (+)(+++++)

On an after-tax basis, excluding special items, Ford posted an operating loss of $638 million in the second quarter, or $0.21 per share, compared with a loss of $1.4 billion, or $0.63 per share, a year ago. (+)(+++++)

Ford posted net income of $2.3 billion, or $0.69 per share. These results compare with a net loss of $8.7 billion, or $3.89 per share, in the second quarter of 2008. (+++++) The results for the second quarter 2009 include a special items net gain totaling $2.8 billion, or $0.90 per share, which includes a $3.4 billion gain related to Ford and Ford Credit's recent debt-reduction actions.

Ford's second quarter revenue was $27.2 billion, down $11 billion from the same period a year ago.(+)

"While the business environment remained extremely challenging around the world, we made significant progress on our transformation plan," said Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally. "Our underlying business is growing progressively stronger as we introduce great new products that customers want and value, while continuing to aggressively restructure our business and strengthen our balance sheet."

In the second quarter, Ford completed several actions to strengthen its overall business, including:

  --  Completing a series of transactions that reduced Automotive debt
      obligations by $10.1 billion, which will save the company more than
      $500 million a year in interest expense
  --  Raising $1.6 billion through the issuance of 345 million shares of
      Ford common stock
  --  Reducing Automotive structural costs by $1.8 billion, including $1.2
      billion in North America

  --  Reducing the U.S. hourly work force by approximately 1,000 through a
      buyout program

Ford reached agreement with the UAW, subject to court and other approvals, to allow Ford the option to fund up to half of its VEBA obligations with Ford common stock at market prices instead of fixed prices in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Ford finished the second quarter with $21 billion in Automotive gross cash, compared with $21.3 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2009. Automotive operating-related cash flow was $1 billion negative during the second quarter of 2009, an improvement of $2.7 billion from the first quarter of 2009. Automotive operating-related cash flow was $4.7 billion negative during the first half; on track with Ford's plan. (+++)

"Ford delivered a very solid quarter, and our transformation plan remains well on track," said Lewis Booth, Ford executive vice president and chief financial officer. "We strengthened our balance sheet, reduced cash outflows and improved our year-over-year financial results despite sharply lower industry volumes."

The following discussion of second quarter highlights and results are on a pre-tax basis and exclude special items. See tables following "Safe Harbor/Risk Factors" for the nature and amount of these special items and any necessary reconciliation to U.S. GAAP. Discussion of Automotive operating cost changes is at constant volume, mix, and exchange, and excludes special items.

  SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

      quarter 2008:
      --  U.S. market share rose for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury by two points
          to 16.4 percent. Canada and Mexico were both up, with increases of
          2.8 and 1.1 points, respectively, helping Ford become Canada's
          top-selling brand in June for the first time in 50 years
      --  Ford's share of the South American market improved one point to
          10.4 percent

      to improve, reaching its highest level in North America and equaling
      Toyota
  --  The company posted an eighth straight year of improvement in the J.D.
      Power Initial Quality Study. Ford and Mercury brands placed among the
      Top 10 in initial quality
  --  All Ford brands improved significantly in the J.D. Power APEAL study
      of customer satisfaction. The Ford F-150 and Ford Flex led their
      respective segments and were noted for their fuel efficiency and
      styling
  --  Ford average vehicle transaction prices in the U.S. increased at a
      rate above the industry average, reflecting that customers are
      equipping these new products with high levels of content and features

      Assembly Plant to build Ford's next-generation Focus global small car
      and new battery-electric Focus

      technology vehicles
  --  Ford's total sales in China were up 39 percent in the second quarter
      of 2009 aided by the strong launch of the new Ford Fiesta and

      300,000 units sold since its introduction there last fall
  --  The company successfully completed the European launches of the new
      Ford Transit Connect, Ford Ranger and Ford Transit ECOnetic
  --  Began production of the 2010 Ford Taurus and the high-performance 2010
      Ford Taurus SHO in North America.  Ford's flagship sedan arrives soon

      America, a purpose-built van for small businesses, which will debut
      this summer
  --  Production is under way for the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine, which
      will be available this year on the Lincoln MKS, Ford Flex, Ford Taurus
      SHO and Lincoln MKT.  EcoBoost delivers the horsepower of a V8 with
      the fuel efficiency of a V6

  --  The Lincoln MKZ, Ford Focus and Volvo C30 earned the "Top Safety Pick"
      award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.  Ford has more
      IIHS "Top Safety Pick" awards than any other automaker

    -----------------------

For the second quarter of 2009, Ford's worldwide Automotive sector reported a pre-tax operating loss of $1 billion, compared with a pre-tax loss of $699 million a year ago. The decline reflected lower industry volumes, actions to reduce dealer stocks, higher material costs and unfavorable exchange, largely offset by structural cost reductions, favorable net pricing and improved market share.

Worldwide Automotive revenue in the second quarter was $24 billion, down from $34.1 billion a year ago. The decrease is primarily explained by lower volumes and unfavorable exchange, partly offset by favorable net pricing. Total vehicle wholesales in the second quarter were 1,172,000, compared with 1,562,000 units a year ago.

Automotive structural cost reductions in the second quarter totaled $1.8 billion, including $1.2 billion in North America. Manufacturing and engineering costs were $1.1 billion lower, largely reflecting the continued benefits of personnel actions in North America and Europe. Overall, Ford reduced Automotive structural costs by $3.6 billion in the first half.

Net pricing was about $1.2 billion favorable, primarily explained by higher pricing in the U.S., reflecting the success of new products, including the Ford F-150, Ford Fusion and Ford Mustang, and the continuation of its disciplined approach on incentives.

North America: For the second quarter, Ford North America reported a pre-tax loss of $851 million, compared with a loss of $1.3 billion a year ago. The improvement was primarily explained by structural cost reductions, favorable net pricing and improved market share, partly offset by lower U.S. industry volume, a reduction in dealer stocks, higher material cost and unfavorable exchange. Second quarter revenue was $10.8 billion, down from $14.2 billion a year ago.

South America: For the second quarter, Ford South America reported a pre-tax profit of $86 million, compared with a profit of $388 million a year ago. The decrease primarily reflects unfavorable exchange, higher commodity costs and lower volumes, partly offset by favorable net pricing and product mix. Second quarter revenue was $1.9 billion, down from $2.4 billion a year ago.

Europe: For the second quarter, Ford Europe reported a pre-tax profit of $138 million, compared with a profit of $582 million a year ago. The decline was primarily explained by lower industry volume, dealer stock reductions, higher material cost and unfavorable mix, partly offset by structural cost reductions, favorable net pricing and market share improvement. European pre-tax results improved by about $700 million in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2009. This improvement primarily reflects higher industry volumes, a smaller decrease in dealer stocks, lower costs and favorable net pricing. Second quarter revenue was $7.2 billion, down from $11.5 billion a year ago.

Volvo: Volvo is reported as an ongoing operation. The effects of "held-for-sale" accounting-related adjustments are reported as special items. For the second quarter, Volvo reported a pre-tax loss of $231 million, compared with a loss of $120 million a year ago. The decline primarily reflected lower volumes, partly offset by continued progress on cost reductions and favorable exchange. Second quarter revenue was $2.9 billion, down from $4.3 billion a year ago.

Asia Pacific and Africa: For the second quarter, Ford Asia Pacific and Africa reported a pre-tax loss of $25 million, compared with a profit of $50 million a year ago. The decline is more than explained by adverse market mix, partly offset by lower costs. Second quarter revenue was $1.2 billion, down from $1.7 billion a year ago.

Other Automotive: Other Automotive, which consists primarily of interest and financing-related costs, reported a second quarter pre-tax loss of $136 million. This included net interest expense of $271 million, partly offset by fair market value adjustments, primarily attributable to our investment in Mazda. (+++++)

    -----------------------

For the second quarter, the Financial Services sector reported a pre-tax profit of $595 million, compared with a loss of $334 million a year ago.

Ford Motor Credit Company: Ford Credit reported a pre-tax profit of $646 million in the second quarter, compared with a pre-tax loss of $294 million a year ago. The improvement primarily reflected lower depreciation expense for leased vehicles due to higher auction values, net gains related to unhedged currency exposures, a lower provision for credit losses and lower operating costs. These factors were partly offset by lower volume and non-recurrence of a gain related to the sale of approximately half of Ford Credit's ownership interest in its Nordic operations.

Other Financial Services: Other Financial Services reported a loss of $51 million in the second quarter, compared with a pre-tax loss of $40 million a year ago. The decline is more than explained by a loss related to a real estate transaction.

OUTLOOK

Despite the severe global downturn, Ford said it continues to make progress on all four pillars of its plan:

  --  Aggressively restructure to operate profitably at the current demand
      and changing model mix
  --  Accelerate the development of new products that customers want and
      value
  --  Finance the plan and improve the balance sheet

  --  Work together effectively as one team, leveraging Ford's global assets

Ford said it remains on track to achieve or exceed all of its 2009 financial targets and most of its operational metrics.

The company said it now expects full-year market share to improve compared to 2008 in the U.S. and Europe, reflecting share increases in the first half and strong reception to new product introductions.

Ford expects 2009 U.S. industry sales will be between 10.5 million and 11 million units, consistent with the outlook previously communicated by the company. Based on first half European industry volume, Ford now expects that Europe's full-year industry sales will be in the range of 15 million to 15.5 million units, which is higher than the previous outlook.

Ford expects third quarter 2009 production to be up, compared with 2008 and second quarter 2009 production. This increase is largely due to tightly controlled inventories and higher market demand for our products.

Ford remains on track to exceed its $4 billion Automotive structural cost reduction target for 2009. Second half cost reductions, however, will be less than the first half, reflecting the significant cost reductions achieved during the third and fourth quarters of 2008.

Ford expects Automotive operating-related cash flows in the second half to improve from first half levels consistent with its current planning assumptions. However, due to substantial improvements in the second quarter, third quarter levels may not improve sequentially.

Ford Credit expects its second half 2009 results to be lower than its first half 2009 results. Ford Credit does not expect the net gains related to unhedged currency exposures or improvements in lease residual losses in the amounts experienced in the second quarter 2009 to continue. A continuing decline in receivables will also contribute to lower second half 2009 results.

Based on its current planning assumptions, Ford has sufficient liquidity to fund its product-led transformation plan and provide a cushion against the uncertain global economic environment. In addition, Ford will continue to pursue actions to improve its balance sheet.

The company remains on track to achieve its key 2011 financial targets, based on current planning assumptions, including overall and North American Automotive pre-tax results being breakeven or better, excluding special items, and Automotive operating-related cash flow being breakeven or better.

"Our product-led transformation is working, and we are pleased with our progress in the second quarter," Mulally said. "While the economic environment remains challenging, I am more convinced than ever we are on the right path to create a healthy and profitably growing Ford."

Ford's 2009 planning assumptions regarding the industry and operating metrics include the following:

Statements included 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:

  --  Continued or worsening financial crisis;
  --  Further declines in industry sales volume, particularly in the United
      States or Europe, due to financial crisis, deepening recessions,
      geo-political events, or other factors;
  --  Decline in market share;
  --  Continued or increased price competition resulting from industry
      overcapacity, currency fluctuations, or other factors;
  --  A further increase in or acceleration of market shift away from sales
      of trucks, SUVs, or other more profitable vehicles, particularly in
      the United States;
  --  A return to elevated gasoline prices, as well as the potential for
      volatile prices or reduced availability;
  --  Lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of new or existing products;
  --  Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and
      interest rates;
  --  Adverse effects from the bankruptcy, insolvency, or government-funded
      restructuring of, change in ownership or control of, or alliances
      entered into by a major competitor;
  --  Restriction on use of tax attributes from tax law "ownership change";
  --  Economic distress of suppliers that may require us to provide
      financial support or take other measures to ensure supplies of
      components or materials and could increase our costs, affect our
      liquidity, or cause production disruptions;
  --  Single-source supply of components or materials;
  --  Labor or other constraints on our ability to restructure our business;
  --  Work stoppages at Ford or supplier facilities or other interruptions
      of supplies;
  --  Pension and postretirement health care and life insurance liabilities
      impairing our liquidity or financial condition;
  --  Inability to implement the Retiree Health Care Settlement Agreement
      regarding UAW hourly retiree health care;
  --  Worse-than-assumed economic and demographic experience for our
      postretirement benefit plans (e.g., discount rates or investment
      returns);
  --  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 regulation
      resulting in higher costs, cash expenditures, or sales restrictions;
  --  Unusual or significant litigation or governmental investigations
      arising out of alleged defects in our products or otherwise;
  --  A change in our requirements for parts or materials subject to
      long-term supply arrangements that commit us to purchase minimum or
      fixed quantities of parts or materials, or to pay a minimum amount to
      the seller ("take-or-pay" contracts);
  --  Adverse effects on our results from a decrease in or cessation of
      government incentives;
  --  Adverse effects on our operations resulting from certain geo-political
      or other events;
  --  Substantial negative Automotive operating-related cash flows for the
      near- to medium-term affecting our ability to meet our obligations,
      invest in our business, or refinance our debt;
  --  Substantial levels of Automotive indebtedness adversely affecting our
      financial condition or preventing us from fulfilling our debt
      obligations (which may grow because we are able to incur substantially
      more debt, including secured debt);
  --  Failure of financial institutions to fulfill commitments under
      committed credit facilities;
  --  Ford Credit's need for substantial liquidity to finance its business;
  --  Inability of Ford Credit to obtain competitive funding;
  --  Inability of Ford Credit to access debt, securitization, or derivative
      markets around the world at competitive rates or in sufficient amounts
      due to additional credit rating downgrades, market volatility, market
      disruption, or other factors;
  --  A prolonged disruption of the debt and securitization markets;
  --  Higher-than-expected credit losses;
  --  Increased competition from banks or other financial institutions
      seeking to increase their share of financing Ford vehicles;
  --  Collection and servicing problems related to finance receivables and
      net investment in operating leases;
  --  Lower-than-anticipated residual values or higher-than-expected return
      volumes for leased vehicles;
  --  New or increased credit, consumer, data protection, or other
      regulation resulting in greater costs or financing restrictions;

  --  Inability to implement our plans to further reduce structural costs
      and increase liquidity.

We cannot be certain that any expectation, forecast or assumption made by management in preparing forward-looking statements will prove accurate, or that any projection will be realized. It is to be expected that there may be differences between projected and actual results. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of their initial issuance, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
