NEWS www.twitter.com/ford www.facebook.com/ford www.instagram.com/ford www.medium.com/@ford Ford’s Strong Q3 Driven by Higher Demand, Operating Execution, With Game-Changing Vehicle Launches Starting in Fourth Quarter • Reports $2.4 billion in net income and 6.4% net income margin, on revenue of $37.5 billion • Achieves adjusted EBIT of $3.6 billion and adjusted EBIT margin of 9.7%, led by North America at 12.5% • Generates $11.1 billion in company operating cash flow – $6.3 billion of adjusted FCF – ending Q3 with nearly $30 billion in cash and more than $45 billion in liquidity • Readies for fourth-quarter launches of three anticipated, all-new vehicles: 2021 F-150, all- electric Mustang Mach-E, and Bronco Sport – first of new Bronco family of products • Expects full-year 2020 adjusted EBIT of $600 million to $1.1 billion, including fourth-quarter adjusted EBIT between break-even and a $500 million loss DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 28, 2020 – Ford produced solid financial results in the third quarter of 2020 through a combination of great operating execution; focusing on its strengths in high- demand, profitable vehicles; and a reversal of business effects from the coronavirus pandemic. “We know that there’s huge value to be unlocked as we turn around our automotive operations,” said Jim Farley, Ford’s president and CEO. “There will be additional opportunity when we start growing again, which we will do with products and services customers can’t resist.” Company Key Metrics Summary 1


 
According to Farley, the robust third-quarter performance reflected Ford’s better execution and benefits from the company’s decision two years ago to reallocate capital to franchise strengths – pickup trucks, SUVs, commercial vehicles and iconic passenger vehicles – and phase out unprofitable sedans. The company made the most of stronger than expected vehicle demand and had higher net pricing, with inventories limited following the virus-related, first-half factory shutdowns. Those factors – together with Ford Credit’s strongest performance in 15 years – led to total- company adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) margin of 9.7%. That was nearly five points higher than a year ago and above the 8% target Ford intends to achieve and sustain over time. Automotive EBIT margin was 7.6% – 12.5% in North America – amid favorable third- quarter net pricing. “We haven’t suddenly fixed the issues in our automotive business, but we have a clear turnaround plan to get that done,” said Farley. “That work is underway and we’re making progress.” The plan, which Farley outlined on Oct. 1, his first day as president and CEO, includes: • Competing like a challenger – earning business from customers by innovating and introducing great products and services, among them vehicles that are both profitable and more affordable • Raising quality, reducing costs and improving underperforming businesses, and • Allocating capital, talent and other resources to customer satisfaction and growth in things Ford does very well today and new businesses like electric and self-driving vehicles. Ford generated $6.3 billion in adjusted free cash flow during the third quarter, helped, as expected, by a $4 billion rebuild of supplier payables as vehicle production reached pre- pandemic levels. The company ended the period with cash of nearly $30 billion and total liquidity of more than $45 billion after fully repaying $15 billion in revolving credit drawn down in Q1 to maintain financial flexibility in the early days of the pandemic. “Challenges from the coronavirus were real and some risks still linger,” said John Lawler, Ford’s CFO. “Throughout the pandemic, we’ve prioritized the safety of our people, the needs of our customers and the strength of our balance sheet, and that helped us post a solid quarter.” In North America , Ford’s automotive business gained one point of market share; in the U.S., F-Series trucks picked up 1.7 points of share, to more than 35%. The regional mix of popular and profitable Ford trucks and vans reached 57%, while volumes of sedans continued to trend deliberately lower. Ford’s Europe business continued to derive benefits from its restructuring program, and is on track to deliver a cumulative $1 billion reduction in structural costs since 2018. SUVs accounted for more than 30% of Ford’s vehicle mix in Europe, nearly nine points higher than in the same quarter a year earlier. The regional business would have been profitable in the third quarter excluding effects associated with a supplier-quality issue with the new Kuga plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, among them the expense for CO 2 pooling to comply with European emissions regulations. 2


 
Regional Highlights Wholesale product shipments in China were up 22% as the company’s mix of SUVs increased 13 points, to 36%. That strength was driven by locally built versions of the Explorer, Escape, and the luxury Lincoln Aviator and Corsair, and represented the third quarter in a row of year- over-year gains in market share. It also was the second straight quarter of EBIT improvement. In South America , Ford posted its fourth straight year-over-year improvement in quarterly EBIT, with pricing increases and cost reductions helping to mitigate pressures from inflation and currency. The International Markets Group was profitable despite pandemic-related industry declines in vehicle shipments. In the fourth quarter, Ford is launching the next three in a game-changing series of all-new vehicles : F-150 , including a hybrid electric-powered version; Bronco Sport , ahead of the return of the reimagined full-size Bronco next year; and the all-electric Mustang Mach-E . With software and hardware engineering, suppliers and manufacturing for all of them “go,” the three vehicles are now coming off production lines. Farley said electric vehicles are fundamental to the company’s future across its lineup – including in commercial vehicles, and the Lincoln line. Ford will reveal a new, all-electric Transit van for global markets in November. “By the end of the year, customers will be able to choose from 12 hybrid and fully electric vehicles around the globe and there is much more to come, including developing a complete EV ecosystem,” he said. “We intend to set Ford apart in EVs with capabilities that reach across our 3


 
product portfolio, like an all-electric F-150 in 2022 that will be a rugged and affordable work pickup, not just a lifestyle vehicle.” In the third quarter, Ford Mobility , which is building fourth-generation autonomous test vehicles with the latest self-driving technology, produced its first AV-related revenue from a fleet operations pilot in Austin, Texas. At the same time, the company is strategically expanding its Spin scooter business in the U.S., U.K. and Germany. Ford Credit’s quarterly earnings before taxes were its highest since 2005, up one-third to $1.1 billion and contributing to a continued strong balance sheet. Besides its financial contributions, Farley said Ford Credit’s closeness and insight to customers is a “secret weapon,” providing additional reasons for those customers to choose and stay with Ford. During the pandemic, Ford Credit has provided options for deferring vehicle payments and other programs, and incentives to come into showrooms or shop online. Outlook Ford’s current expectations for the fourth quarter include: • Lower wholesale shipments of F-150 – about 100,000 units – reflecting a measured production ramp-up to assure a high-quality launch of the 2021 model • Sequentially higher structural and other costs related to manufacturing launches of Mustang Mach-E and Bronco Sport, advertising launch activities for new products, including the Bronco brand, higher material and other costs, and • Sequentially lower EBT from Ford Credit. Taken together, Ford anticipates fourth-quarter adjusted EBIT to be between break-even and a $500 million loss, down from both the third quarter and year-ago period. Based on that Q4 guidance, the company now expects adjusted company EBIT for full-year 2020 of $600 million to $1.1 billion. The guidance assumes no meaningful change to the current economic environment, continued steady improvement in the stability of the global automotive supply base, and no significant post-Q3 pandemic-related disruptions to production or distribution. Ford plans to report fourth-quarter 2020 financial results on Feb. 4. # # # About Ford Motor Company Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) is a global company based in Dearborn, Michigan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures We use both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for operational and financial decision making, and to assess Company and segment business performance. The non-GAAP measures listed below are intended to be considered by users as supplemental information to their equivalent GAAP measures, to aid investors in better understanding our financial results. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful perspective on underlying business results and trends, and a means to assess our period-over- period results. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in items or events being adjusted. • Company Adjusted EBIT (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net income attributable to Ford) – Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) excludes interest on debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), taxes and pre-tax special items. This non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate our operating results aligned with industry reporting. Pre-tax special items consist of (i) pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses, (ii) significant personnel expenses, dealer-related costs, and facility-related charges stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix, and (iii) other items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities. When we provide guidance for adjusted EBIT, we do not provide guidance on a net income basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses. • Company Adjusted EBIT Margin (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Company Net Income Margin) – Company Adjusted EBIT Margin is Company Adjusted EBIT divided by Company revenue. This non-GAAP measure is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate our operating results aligned with industry reporting. • Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Earnings Per Share) – Measure of Company’s diluted net earnings per share adjusted for impact of pre-tax special items (described above), tax special items and restructuring impacts in noncontrolling interests. The measure provides investors with useful information to evaluate performance of our business excluding items not indicative of the underlying run rate of our business. When we provide guidance for adjusted earnings per share, we do not provide guidance on an earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year- end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses. • Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Effective Tax Rate) – Measure of Company’s tax rate excluding pre-tax special items (described above) and tax special items. The measure provides an ongoing effective rate which investors find useful for historical comparisons and for forecasting. When we provide guidance for adjusted effective tax rate, we do not provide guidance on an effective tax rate basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end, including pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses. • Company Adjusted Free Cash Flow (FCF) (Most Comparable GAAP Measure: Net Cash Provided By / (Used In) Operating Activities) – Measure of Company’s operating cash flow excluding Ford Credit’s operating cash flows. The measure contains elements management considers operating activities, including Automotive and Mobility capital spending, Ford Credit distributions to its parent, and settlement of derivatives. The measure excludes cash outflows for funded pension contributions, global redesign (including separations), and other items that are considered operating cash flows under GAAP. This measure is useful to management and investors because it is consistent with management’s assessment of the Company’s operating cash flow performance. When we provide guidance for Company Adjusted FCF, we do not provide guidance for net cash provided by / (used in) operating activities because the GAAP measure will include items that are difficult to quantify or predict with reasonable certainty, including cash flows related to the Company's exposures to foreign currency exchange rates and certain commodity prices (separate from any related hedges), Ford Credit's operating cash flows, and cash flows related to special items, including separation payments, each of which individually or in the aggregate could have a significant impact to our net cash provided by / (used in) our operating activities. • Adjusted ROIC – Calculated as the sum of adjusted net operating profit after-cash tax from the last four quarters, divided by the average invested capital over the last four quarters. This calculation provides management and investors with useful information to evaluate the Company’s after-cash tax operating return on its invested capital for the period presented. Adjusted net operating profit after-cash tax measures operating results less special items, interest on debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), and certain pension / OPEB costs. Average invested capital is the sum of average balance sheet equity, debt (excl. Ford Credit Debt), and net pension / OPEB liability. Note: Calculated results may not sum due to rounding 13
