+Added: In our Mobility segment, our third quarter 2022 EBIT loss was $244 million, a $27 million improvement from a year ago.
+Added: The loss reflects our strategic investments in our autonomous vehicle capabilities and support of our mobility initiatives.
+Added: Although Argo AI has made progress on developing highly automated driving technology (L4), to achieve commercially viable scale, Argo AI’s technology requires significant additional capital investment and time.
+Added: In the third quarter of 2022, we made the strategic decision to shift our capital spending from L4 technology being developed by Argo AI to advanced L2/L3 systems, which we believe will ultimately be essential to achieve profitable commercialization of L4 autonomy at scale in the future.
+Added: Additionally, because of the significant additional capital and time required to achieve commercialization of L4, as well as other macroeconomic factors, Argo AI has been unable to attract new investors.
+Added: After performing external outreach in the third quarter to assess market interest in acquiring either Argo AI or its technology components and conducting internal reviews to evaluate opportunities to leverage Argo AI’s technology, Ford determined that Argo AI no longer has value as a going concern.
+Added: As a result, we reassessed the carrying value of our investment in Argo AI as of September 30, 2022, and in October, Ford and VW initiated the process of exiting the joint development of L4 technology through Argo AI.
+Added: Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2022, we recorded as a special item a $2.7 billion pre-tax impairment on our Argo AI investment, and on October 26, 2022, we announced that Argo AI plans to wind down operations.

+Added: Third Quarter 2022 EBT $ 599

−Removed: Changes in Company Cash.
−Removed: In managing our business, we classify changes in Company cash into operating and non-operating items.
−Removed: Operating items include:
−Removed: Company adjusted EBIT excluding Ford Credit EBT, capital spending, depreciation and tooling amortization, changes in working capital, Ford Credit distributions, interest on debt, cash taxes, and all other and timing differences (including timing differences between accrual-based EBIT and associated cash flows).
−Removed: Non-operating items include:
−Removed: global redesign (including separation payments), changes in Company debt excluding Ford Credit, contributions to funded pension plans, shareholder distributions, and other items (including gains and losses on investments in equity securities, acquisitions and divestitures, and other transactions with Ford Credit).
−Removed: With respect to “Changes in working capital,” in general we carry relatively low Automotive segment trade receivables compared with our trade payables because the majority of our Automotive wholesales are financed (primarily by Ford Credit) immediately upon the sale of vehicles to dealers, which generally occurs shortly after being produced.
−Removed: In contrast, our Automotive trade payables are based primarily on industry-standard production supplier payment terms of about 45 days.
−Removed: As a result, our cash flow deteriorates if wholesale volumes (and the corresponding revenue) decrease while trade payables continue to become due.
−Removed: Conversely, our cash flow improves if wholesale volumes (and the corresponding revenue) increase while new trade payables are generally not due for about 45 days.
−Removed: For example, the suspension of production at most of our assembly plants and lower industry volumes due to COVID-19 in early 2020 resulted in an initial deterioration of our cash flow, while the subsequent resumption of manufacturing operations and return to pre-COVID-19 production levels at most of our assembly plants resulted in a subsequent improvement of our cash flow.
−Removed: Even in normal economic conditions, however, these working capital balances generally are subject to seasonal changes that can impact cash flow.
−Removed: 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.
−Removed: The net impact of this typically results in cash outflows from changes in our working capital balances during these shutdown periods.
−Removed: Our inventory includes vehicles completed but awaiting installation of components, including semiconductors.
−Removed: As a result of the shortage, our inventory is higher than in periods prior to the supply shortage.
−Removed: In response to, or in anticipation of, supplier disruptions, we may stockpile certain components or raw materials to help prevent disruption in our production of vehicles.
−Removed: Such actions could have a short-term adverse impact on our cash and increase our inventory.
−Removed: Moreover, in order to secure critical materials for production of electric vehicles, we plan to enter into offtake agreements with raw material suppliers and make investments in certain raw material and battery suppliers, including contributing up to $6.6 billion in capital to BlueOval SK, LLC over a five-year period ending in 2026.
−Removed: Such investments, which are part of our plan to invest over $50 billion in electric vehicles through 2026, could have an additional adverse impact on our cash in the near-term.
−Removed: Financial institutions participate in a supply chain finance (“SCF”) program that enables our suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their Ford receivables (i.e., our payment obligations to the suppliers) to the financial institutions on a non-recourse basis in order to be paid earlier than our payment terms provide.
−Removed: Our suppliers’ voluntary inclusion of invoices in the SCF program has no bearing on our payment terms, the amounts we pay, or our liquidity.
−Removed: We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF program, and we have no direct financial relationship with the SCF financial institutions.
−Removed: Moreover, we do not provide any guarantees in connection with the SCF program.
−Removed: As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding amount of Ford receivables that suppliers elected to sell to the SCF financial institutions was $218 million.
