Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Ford Motor Company ("Ford") hereby incorporates by reference its news release dated July 23, 2009, which is filed as Exhibit 99 hereto.
Ford will conduct two conference calls on July 23, 2009 to review preliminary second quarter 2009 financial results. Beginning at 9:00 a.m., Ford's President and Chief Executive Officer Alan Mulally and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Lewis Booth will host a presentation for the investment community and
news media to discuss Ford's preliminary financial results. Investors may access this presentation by dialing 866-788-0547 (or 1-857-350-1685 from outside the United States). The passcode for either telephone number is a verbal response of "Ford Earnings."
At 11:00 a.m., Ford Senior Vice President and Controller Peter Daniel, Ford Vice President and Treasurer Neil Schloss, and Ford Motor Credit Company Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer K.R. Kent will host a presentation for fixed income analysts and investors. Investors may access this presentation by dialing 866-804-6920
(or 1-857-350-1666 from outside the United States). The passcode for either telephone number is a verbal response of "Ford Fixed Income."
A listen-only webcast and supporting presentation materials for these calls is available on the Internet at www.shareholder.ford.com. Investors may also access replays of the presentations after 2:00 p.m. the day of the event through 2:00 p.m. on
Thursday, July 30, 2009 by dialing 888-286-8010 (or 1-617-801-6888 from outside the United States). The passcode for replays of the earnings call is 29481628; the passcode for replays of the fixed income call is 55865600. All times referenced above are in Eastern Time.
Please note that Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K at times discusses revenue and profits excluding special items for our Automotive and/or Financial Services sectors and the primary operating segments and business units therein. The most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") are revenue and profits including special items. We believe that revenue and profits excluding special items are useful measures to provide investors, because they exclude those items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities. As a result, revenue and profits excluding special items provide investors with relevant measures of the results generated by our operations.
In addition, Exhibit 99 discusses our key cash metrics, Automotive operating-related cash flow (which we believe best represents the ability of our Automotive operations to generate cash), and Automotive gross cash (including cash and cash equivalents, net marketable securities, and loaned securities). We believe that Automotive
operating-related cash flow is useful to investors because it includes elements that we consider to be related to our 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 (e.g., tax refunds). The most comparable U.S. GAAP measure is Cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations on our statement of cash flows. The
most comparable U.S. GAAP measure for Automotive gross cash is the sum of the individual line items on our balance sheet for each of the elements within that measure (Cash and cash equivalents, Marketable securities, and Loaned securities).
