Excluding charges related to the sale of Kwik-Fit and other unusual items, Ford earned an operating profit of $220 million, or 12 cents per share. Ford Shareholder reported a loss of $502 million, or 28 cents per share, excluding unusual items, in the third quarter Inquiries: of 2001. 1.800.555.5259 or 1.313.845.8540 Ford's third quarter revenues were $39.6 billion, a nine percent increase from last year's third stockinf@ford.com quarter. Worldwide vehicle sales in the 2002 third quarter were 1,657,000 units - also up nine percent over the previous year's quarter. Media Information Center 'The fundamentals of our business are improving, as evidenced by increases in our revenue and vehicle 1.800.665.1515 or sales, improvements in our market share and tangible progress on cost efficiencies,' said Bill Ford, 1.313.621.0504 chairman and CEO. 'While we are pleased with our progress, we continue our work with a strong sense media@ford.com of urgency to restore our business to its full profit potential.' The company's Revitalization Plan advanced on multiple fronts this quarter, including progress in the areas of right-sizing capacity and overhead reductions. These improvements, along with numerous other cost improvement actions already identified, are being implemented across the company to reduce $2 billion in non-product costs in 2002. In addition, the company is on track to offset all product cost increases and reduce its material costs by $3 billion by mid-decade. The sale of Kwik-Fit, a European maintenance and light vehicle repair business, and Collision Team of America, a U.S.-based chain of collision repair shops, improved the total cash to be realized on the sale of non-core assets to more than $700 million in 2002. The company continues to expect to realize $1 billion in cash from the divestiture of non-core assets in 2002, with some of the proceeds to be received in the first quarter of next year. 'Our Revitalization Plan is like a bridge from our current challenges to a much stronger future for the Ford Motor Company,' said Nick Scheele, Ford president and chief operating officer. 'Our plan is stronger now than at any time this year, and I anticipate that it will only continue to improve in the coming months.' In addition to progress on key aspects of the Revitalization Plan, the company is focusing on growth plans for the premium brands - Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover and Aston Martin. In the past 18 months, Ford's premium brands have experienced rapid growth. The company is reassessing their sustainable rate of growth and the appropriate cadence of new products to ensure that brand value is protected and product execution is not jeopardized. 'Our premium brand strategy has created some outstanding new products in the past two years and has brought an entirely new set of customers to our luxury car showrooms,' said Scheele. 'Our focus in the future will center on capturing the full potential of this growth while strengthening the integrity of our premium brands.' Third quarter 2002 results included the following after-tax, unusual items: • $525 million loss on the agreement to sell Kwik-Fit and other businesses • $142 million benefit related to interest income earned on a U.S. federal tax refund • $158 million charge relating to the accounting standard for derivative instruments and hedging activities (SFAS No. 133) • $5 million charge for the projected costs related to legislation passed in the third quarter in selected countries to implement a European Parliament directive involving end-of-life vehicles The following discussion of third quarter results excludes unusual items in both years: AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS Worldwide automotive operations reported a loss of $243 million in the third quarter, compared with a loss of $877 million one year ago. Worldwide automotive revenues were $32.4 billion, compared with $28.4 billion a year ago. Automotive gross cash at Sept. 30 totaled $25.7 billion, including $900 million of pre-funding employee benefit expenses through a Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association trust. North America: Ford posted a loss of $50 million in North America in the third quarter, compared with a loss of $849 million one year ago. Higher unit volume, favorable net revenue and positive net cost performance largely accounted for the improvement. Europe: In Europe, Ford lost $121 million compared with a loss of $24 million a year ago. The decline was largely due to higher marketing at Jaguar and Volvo and increased product costs at Jaguar. South America: Ford operations in South America reported a loss of $138 million, compared with a loss of $56 million a year ago. Unfavorable exchange rates more than offset improved cost performance. Economic and industry conditions in the region remain very difficult. Rest-of-World: Operations in the rest of the world earned a profit of $66 million, compared with a profit of $52 million a year ago. The increase primarily reflects improvements at Mazda. FORD CREDIT Ford Credit earned $408 million in the third quarter, up $19 million from earnings of $389 million in the same period a year earlier. The improvement is more than accounted for by lower provisions for credit losses. Ford Credit's profit was up $65 million from the second quarter, reflecting improved net financing margins and the favorable impact of securitization transactions, offset partially by a higher provision for credit losses. HERTZ Hertz reported a third quarter profit of $106 million, up from last year's $26 million profit in the third quarter. The continued recovery of business and leisure travel is the principal reason for the increase. OUTLOOK 'Our results have been better than we expected each quarter this year, causing us to remain cautiously optimistic as we move into the fourth quarter,' said Allan Gilmour, Ford vice chairman and chief financial officer. 'Many of our efforts to increase efficiency and improve our profitability are beginning to take hold, and we are projecting a slight profit for the fourth quarter and a full year profit of about 40 cents per share - within the range of analysts' estimates of 35 to 55 cents per share.'

Ford Motor Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 1. Financial Statements - The financial data presented herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management reflect those adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of such information. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year. Reference should be made to the financial statements contained in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K (the '10-K Report') for the year ended December 31, 2001. For purposes of this report, 'Ford', the 'Company', 'we', 'our', 'us' or similar references means Ford Motor Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. Certain amounts for prior periods were reclassified to conform with current period presentation. 2. Selected Automotive Costs and Expenses are summarized as follows (in millions): Third Quarter Nine Months 2002 2001 2002 2001 Depreciation $ 646 $ 632 $1,869 $1,989 Amortization of special tools 580 482 1,803 1,832 Postretirement expense 501 358 1,561 1,086 3. Derivative Instruments and Hedges - Ford adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ('SFAS') No. 133 on January 1, 2001. For further discussion on SFAS No. 133, refer to Note 14 in the 10-K Report. Non-cash benefits/(charges) recorded to income and to stockholders' equity for the third quarter of 2002 and 2001 were (in millions): Third Quarter 2002 Third Quarter 2001 Financial Total Financial Total Automotive Services Company Automotive Services Company Income/(loss) before income taxes a/ $(67) $(182) $ (249) $33 $(20) $ 13 Net income/(loss) (44) (114) (158) 22 (13) 9 Stockholders' equity b/ 94 201 - - - - - a/ Automotive recorded in cost of sales; Financial Services recorded in revenues. b/ Recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. 4. Goodwill and Other Intangibles - Effective January 1, 2002, Ford adopted SFAS No. 142, which eliminates amortization of goodwill and certain other intangible assets, but requires annual testing for impairment (comparison of estimated fair value to carrying value). Fair value is estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows and other valuation measures. The Automotive sector completed the transitional impairment test in the first quarter of 2002 and the Financial Services sector completed the transitional impairment test in the second quarter of 2002. After-tax, non-cash transition charges of $708 million and $294 million were taken in the Automotive and Financial Services sectors, respectively. If SFAS No. 142 had been in effect in 2001, Company earnings would have been improved because of reduced amortization, as described below: Third Quarter 2001 Nine Months 2001 Net Income/ Basic Diluted Net Income/ Basic Diluted (loss) Earnings Earnings (loss) Earnings Earnings (millions) Per Share Per Share (millions) Per Share Per Share Reported net loss $(692) $(0.39) $(0.39) $(385) $(0.22) $(0.22) Add: amortization 64 * 0.04 0.04 192 ** 0.11 0.11 Adjusted net loss $(628) $(0.35) $(0.35) $(193) $(0.11) $(0.11) - - - - - * $56 million Automotive and $8 million Financial Services ** $168 million Automotive and $24 million Financial Services Effective July 1, 2001, Ford adopted SFAS No. 141 which specifies the types of acquired intangible assets to be reported separately from goodwill and those to be included in goodwill. Certain Company intangible assets, primarily acquired distribution networks and technology, continue to be amortized over their useful lives, with no significant residual value. Ford Motor Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Changes to Automotive sector goodwill and other intangible assets were as follows (in millions): Goodwill Other Intangibles Amortizable Non-amortizable December 31, 2001 balance $ 5,283 $1,194 $ - Transitional impairment (pre-tax) (1,041) - - Tradenames reclassification - (618) 618 Workforce reclassification 126 (126) - Currency translation 285 41 38 Amortization & other (8) (87) (264) September 30, 2002 balance $ 4,645 $ 404 a/ $392 - - - - - a/ Gross balance of $532 million, net of accumulated amortization and other adjustments of $128 million.

In addition, equity in net assets of affiliated companies included goodwill of $453 million and $465 million at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Company pre-tax amortization expense for other intangible assets, excluding goodwill, in the first nine months of 2002 and 2001 was $27 million and $64 million, respectively; and in the third quarter of 2002 and 2001 was $7 million and $25 million, respectively. Intangible asset amortization is forecasted to be about $15 million to $25 million per year for the next 5 years. 5. Income Per Share of Common and Class B Stock - The calculation of diluted income per share of Common and Class B Stock takes into account the effect of obligations, such as stock options and convertible securities, considered to be potentially dilutive. Basic and diluted income per share were calculated using the following (in millions): Third Quarter Nine Months 2002 2001 2002 2001 Diluted Income Income/(loss) attributable to Common and Class B Stock after preferred stock dividends $(330) $(696) $(861) $ (396) Diluted Shares Average shares outstanding 1,822 1,812 1,814 1,823 Issuable and uncommitted ESOP shares (1) (5) (1) (8) Basic shares 1,821 1,807 1,813 1,815 Contingently issuable shares (1) (1) - (1) Net dilutive effect of options - * - * 13 - * Diluted shares 1,820 1,806 ** 1,826 1,814 ** - - - - - * Not included in calculation of diluted earnings per share due to the antidilutive effect - 8 million potential shares related to options in third quarter 2002; 26 million in third Quarter 2001; and 34 million in the first nine months of 2001. ** Diluted earnings per share has been corrected to exclude the antidilutive effect of stock options and contingently issuable shares. 6. Inventories - Automotive inventories are summarized as follows (in millions): September 30, December 31, 2002 2001 Raw materials, work in process and supplies $3,158 $2,436 Finished products 5,313 4,660 Total inventories at FIFO 8,471 7,096 Less LIFO adjustment (967) (905) Total inventories $7,504 $6,191 Ford Motor Company and Subsidiaries NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) 7. Company-Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred and Mandatorily Redeemable Convertible Preferred Securities of Subsidiary Trusts - The sole assets of Ford Motor Company Capital Trust I ('Trust I'), which is the obligor on the preferred securities of Trust I issued in 1995, are $632 million principal amount of 9% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2025 of Ford Motor Company. In January 2002, Ford Motor Company Capital Trust II, a subsidiary trust of the Company ('Trust II'), issued 100 million shares of 6.5% Cumulative Convertible Trust Preferred Securities, each with a liquidation preference of $50 per share. At the option of the holder, each preferred security is convertible at any time on or before January 15, 2032 into shares of Ford Common Stock at a rate of 2.8249 shares for each preferred security. The sole assets of Trust II are $5,155 million principal amount of 6.5% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2032 of Ford Motor Company. 8. Comprehensive Income - Other comprehensive income primarily reflects foreign currency translation adjustments and adjustments related to SFAS No. 133 (See Note 3). Total comprehensive income is summarized as follows (in millions): Third Quarter Nine Months 2002 2001 2002 2001 Net income/(loss) $ (326) $ (692) $ (850) $ (385) Other comprehensive income/(loss) 408 775 3,389 (2,143) Total comprehensive income/(loss) $ 82 $ 83 $2,539 $(2,528) 9. Automotive Sector Acquisitions, Dispositions, Restructurings and Other Actions - In August 2002, we signed an agreement with CVC Capital Partners to sell Ford's 100% interest in Kwik-Fit Holdings Ltd., our European all-makes vehicle repair business, to an acquisition company formed by CVC. The purchase price of £330 million (equivalent to about $500 million) will consist of a combination of about $300 million in cash and a note with face value of about $200 million. In addition, Ford will acquire a 19 percent equity stake in the acquisition company. This transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2002. In addition to the sale of Kwik-Fit, Ford is currently in negotiations to dispose of several other non-core businesses. These transactions are expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2002. We recorded a pre-tax loss of $570 million in cost of sales, which reflects the fair value less costs to sell. This amount is included in the financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, these entities had combined revenues of $890 million, with pre-tax income of $11 million. These operating results exclude the cumulative effect of adoption of SFAS No. 142 in the first quarter of 2002 and the effect of impairing the assets of the disposal group under SFAS No. 144. Total assets of these entities, which are all included in the Automotive segment, approximate $1 billion as of September 30, 2002.
