The year-over-year increase of $1,555 million in net income is primarily explained by lower special item charges, including lower charges related to the cancellation of a previously planned all-electric three-row SUV program, and increased tax benefits, including the tax special items described on page 37. The increase of $36 million in Company adjusted EBIT in the third quarter of 2025 primarily reflects higher Ford Pro EBIT and Ford Credit EBT, offset partially by lower Model e and Ford Blue EBIT.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Company Excluding Ford Credit
Foreign Currency Risk. The net fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk) as of September 30, 2025, was an asset of $95 million, compared with an asset of $410 million as of December 31, 2024. The potential change in the fair value from a 10% change in the underlying exchange rates, in U.S. dollar terms, would have been $2.9 billion at September 30, 2025, unchanged from December 31, 2024.
Commodity Price Risk. The net fair value of commodity forward contracts (including adjustments for credit risk) as of September 30, 2025, was an asset of $48 million, compared with a liability of $8 million at December 31, 2024. The potential change in the fair value from a 10% change in the underlying commodity prices would have been $178 million at September 30, 2025, compared with $189 million at December 31, 2024.
Ford Credit Segment
Interest Rate Risk. To provide a quantitative measure of the sensitivity of its pre-tax cash flow to changes in interest rates, Ford Credit uses interest rate scenarios that assume a hypothetical, instantaneous decrease or increase 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. Maturing assets and liabilities are also instantaneously reinvested, capturing 100% of any hypothetical change in interest rates. The differences in pre-tax cash flow between these scenarios and the base case over a 12-month period represent an estimate of the sensitivity of Ford Credit’s pre-tax cash flow. Under this model, Ford Credit estimates that at September 30, 2025, all else constant, such a decrease in interest rates would decrease its pre-tax cash flow by $69 million over the next 12 months, compared with a decrease of $107 million at December 31, 2024. In reality, new assets and liabilities may not immediately capture changes in interest rates, and interest rate changes are rarely instantaneous, parallel, or move exactly 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. James D. Farley, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Sherry A. House, our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), have performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2025, and each has concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the CEO and CFO to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
PRODUCT LIABILITY MATTERS
Hill v. Ford (as previously reported on page 35 of our 2024 Form 10-K Report). Plaintiffs in this product liability action filed in Georgia state court alleged that the roof of a 2002 Ford F-250 involved in a rollover accident was defectively designed. During the first trial in 2018, the judge declared a mistrial, ruled that Ford’s attorneys had violated pre-trial rulings while presenting evidence, and sanctioned Ford by prohibiting Ford from introducing any evidence at the second trial to show that the roof design of the F-250 was not defective. During the second trial in August 2022, a jury found that Pep Boys (the party that sold the tires on the vehicle involved in the rollover accident) was responsible for 30% of the damages, and Ford, as a direct result of the sanctions order prohibiting Ford from presenting its defense, was responsible for 70% of the damages, resulting in $16.8 million in damages being apportioned to Ford. The jury subsequently awarded punitive damages against Ford in the amount of $1.7 billion. We filed post-trial motions seeking a new trial, and on September 14, 2023, the trial court denied our post-trial motions. On October 13, 2023, Ford filed a notice of appeal with the Georgia Court of Appeals, and on November 1, 2024, the Georgia Court of Appeals vacated the trial court’s judgment and remanded the matter for a new trial. On November 7, 2024, the plaintiffs filed their notice of intent to petition the Georgia Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, and on December 19, 2024, the plaintiffs filed their petition with the Georgia Supreme Court. Ford filed its response to the petition on February 5, 2025. On August 12, 2025, the Georgia Supreme Court denied plaintiffs’ petition for certiorari. On September 12, 2025, following a settlement reached between the plaintiffs and Ford, plaintiffs filed a Notice of Dismissal with Prejudice.
Brogdon v. Ford (as previously reported on page 64 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025). Plaintiffs, the adult children of Debra and Herman Mills, filed this product liability action against Ford in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia on May 23, 2023, alleging that the roof of a 2015 Ford F-250 involved in a rollover accident was defectively designed. After a trial in February 2025, a jury found that Ford was responsible for 85% of the damages, resulting in $25.9 million in damages being apportioned to Ford. The jury subsequently awarded punitive damages against Ford in the amount of $2.5 billion, after which we filed post-trial motions with the trial court. On September 12, 2025, following a settlement reached between the plaintiffs and Ford, this matter was dismissed.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Any legal proceeding arising under any federal, state, or local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment, in which (i) a governmental authority is a party, and (ii) we believe there is the possibility of monetary sanctions (exclusive of interest and costs) in excess of $1,000,000 is described on page 36 of our 2024 Form 10-K Report.
OTHER MATTERS
Brazilian Tax Matters (as previously reported on page 37 of our 2024 Form 10-K Report, page 64 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and page 67 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025). One Brazilian state (São Paulo) and the Brazilian federal tax authority currently have outstanding substantial tax assessments against Ford Motor Company Brasil Ltda. (“Ford Brazil”) related to state and federal tax incentives Ford Brazil received for its operations in the Brazilian state of Bahia. The São Paulo assessment is part of a broader conflict among various states in Brazil. The federal legislature enacted laws designed to encourage the states to end that conflict, and in 2017 the states reached an agreement on a framework for resolution. Ford Brazil continues to pursue a resolution under the framework and expects the amount of any remaining assessments by the states to be resolved under that framework. The federal assessments are outside the scope of the legislation.
All of the outstanding assessments have been appealed to the relevant administrative court of each jurisdiction and some appeals are now pending in the judicial court system. To proceed with an appeal within the judicial court system, an appellant may be required to post collateral. If we are required to post collateral, which could be in excess of $1 billion for all the cases in the aggregate, we expect it to be in the form of fixed assets, surety bonds, and/or letters of credit, but we may be required to post cash collateral. To date, we have received collateral waivers for most of the cases that have been appealed to the judicial court system, although we have been required to post less than $100 million of collateral. Although the ultimate resolution of these matters may take many years, we consider our overall risk of loss to be remote.
Item 5. Other Information.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted, modified, or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
