Summary
Ford Motor Company reported a net loss attributable to Ford Motor Company of $1.327 billion for the second quarter of 2026, a significant decrease from the prior year's net loss of $36 million. This widened loss was primarily driven by substantial "special items" totaling $4.179 billion, largely due to charges related to the BlueOval SK (BOSK) joint venture disposition and EV program cancellations. Excluding these special items, the company's adjusted EBIT improved to $2.503 billion, reflecting stronger performance in the Ford Blue and Ford Pro segments, as well as improved Ford Credit earnings. Despite the GAAP net loss, the company demonstrated operational resilience. Ford Blue saw a significant year-over-year increase in EBIT, driven by favorable market factors, product mix, and net pricing. Ford Model e, while still reporting an EBIT loss, showed improvement compared to the prior year due to lower losses on its Gen-1 products. Ford Pro's EBIT decreased due to ongoing recovery from supply chain disruptions. Ford Credit also reported an increase in earnings before taxes (EBT), supported by improved financing margins and favorable other items. Management guidance for the full year 2026 anticipates adjusted EBIT between $10.0 billion and $11.0 billion and adjusted free cash flow between $6.0 billion and $7.0 billion.
