DEARBORN, Mich., Jan. 24, 2008 - Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) today reported a
2007 full-year net loss of $1.35 per share, or $2.7 billion. This compares with
a 2006 full-year net loss of $6.72 per share, or $12.6 billion.
Ford's 2007 revenue, excluding special items, was $173.9 billion, up from $160.1
billion a year ago. The increase primarily reflected changes in exchange rates,
higher net pricing and improved product mix.
For full-year 2007, Ford earned a pre-tax operating profit from continuing
operations, excluding special items, of $126 million. Including taxes, Ford's
full-year loss from continuing operations was $366 million, or 19 cents per
share, compared with a 2006 loss of $2.7 billion, or $1.44 per share.
Special items, which primarily reflected non-cash charges associated with a
Premier Automotive Group (PAG) asset impairment (related to Volvo) and a change
in business practice for providing retail incentives to dealers throughout the
year, reduced full-year pre-tax results by $3.9 billion or $1.18 per share,
which included a reduction in revenue of $1.4 billion.
Automotive gross cash, which includes cash and cash equivalents, net marketable
securities, loaned securities and short-term VEBA assets, was $34.6 billion at
Dec. 31, 2007, an increase of $700 million from year-end 2006.
'Each of our Automotive operations is improving, and we are encouraged by the
progress, which validates our strategy and plan,' said Ford President and CEO
Alan Mulally. 'In 2007, we introduced great new products around the globe that
received strong third-party endorsements for styling, quality and safety. This
year, we have some outstanding new product introductions including the Ford
Flex, Lincoln MKS, and Ford F-150 in North America, and Ford Kuga and the
production version of the Ford Verve concept in Europe.'
FULL YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

• Reached agreement with the United Auto Workers (UAW) on a new four-year
national labor contract, which significantly improves the company's
competitiveness going forward.
• Continued to align capacity to match demand and improve productivity in
North America, and reduced personnel by 32,800 in 2007.

fastest-growing segment with a sales gain of 62 percent in 2007.

Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA). The Mustang convertible
earned five-star ratings in all crash test and rollover categories.
• Ford Taurus, Taurus X and Mercury Sable earned Top Safety Pick ratings from
the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for achieving the highest
possible ratings in frontal, side and rear crash test performance. They
also earned five-star crash-test ratings from NHTSA.
• Ford Europe captured Autocar Magazine's annual 'Car Company of the Year'
award.
• Ford Mondeo joins three other models - Ford Focus, Galaxy and S-MAX - with
a five-star performance on the Euro NCAP Top 10 list, reinforcing Ford

percent year-over-year.

FOURTH QUARTER
The company reported a 2007 fourth-quarter net loss of $1.30 per share, or $2.8
billion. This compares with a net loss of $2.98 per share, or $5.6 billion in
the same period a year ago.
Ford's fourth-quarter revenue, excluding special items, was $45.5 billion, up
from $40.3 billion a year ago. The increase reflected changes in currency
exchange rates, higher net pricing, and improved volume.
Ford's fourth-quarter after-tax loss from continuing operations, excluding
special items, was 20 cents per share, or $429 million, compared with a 2006
after-tax loss of $1.03 per share, or $2.0 billion.
Special items reduced pre-tax results by $3.9 billion or $1.10 per share in the
fourth quarter, which included a revenue reduction of $1.4 billion. These
primarily reflected non-cash charges associated with a PAG asset impairment
(related to Volvo) and a change in business practice for providing retail
incentives to dealers.
________________________________________________________________________________
The following discussion of the results of our Automotive sector and Automotive
segments/business units is on a basis that excludes special items. See tables
following 'Safe Harbor/Risk Factors' for the nature and amount of these special
items and any necessary reconciliations to U.S. GAAP.
________________________________________________________________________________
AUTOMOTIVE SECTOR
For the full year, Ford's worldwide Automotive sector reported a pre-tax loss of
$1.1 billion, compared with a pre-tax loss of $5.1 billion a year ago. The
improvements primarily reflected higher net pricing, lower costs, and favorable
mix, partially offset by unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates, and
higher net interest expense.
For the fourth quarter, Ford's worldwide Automotive sector reported a pre-tax
loss of $889 million, compared with a pre-tax loss of $2.3 billion during the
same period a year ago. The improvements were more than explained by higher net
pricing and improved volume and mix, partially offset by unfavorable changes in
currency exchange rates and higher net interest expense.
Worldwide Automotive revenue for 2007 was $155.8 billion, compared with $143.3
billion a year ago. Total fourth-quarter Automotive revenue was $40.8 billion,
up from $36.0 billion a year ago.
Total company vehicle wholesales in 2007 were 6,553,000, compared with 6,597,000
units a year ago. Fourth-quarter vehicle wholesales were 1,643,000, up from
1,568,000 a year ago.
North America: For 2007, Ford's North America Automotive operations reported a
pre-tax loss of $3.5 billion, compared to a loss of $6.0 billion a year ago.
The improvement primarily reflected higher net pricing, favorable mix, and lower
costs, partially offset by a number of factors including lower volumes and
unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates. For the year, revenue was $70.5
billion, up from $69.4 billion a year ago.
For the fourth quarter, North America Automotive operations reported a pre-tax
loss of $1.6 billion, compared with a loss of $2.7 billion a year ago. The
improvement primarily reflected higher net pricing, and improved volume and mix,
partially offset by higher costs and unfavorable changes in currency exchange
rates. Fourth quarter revenue was $17.0 billion, up from $15.1 billion a year
ago.
South America: Ford's South America operations reported a full-year pre-tax
profit of $1.2 billion, compared with a profit of $551 million a year ago. The
improvement was explained by higher net pricing and volume, partially offset by
increased costs. Full-year revenue improved to $7.6 billion from $5.7 billion
in 2006.
For the fourth quarter, Ford's South America operations posted a pre-tax profit
of $418 million, up from $114 million a year ago. The improvement reflected
higher net pricing and higher volume. Fourth-quarter revenue improved to $2.4
billion from $1.7 billion a year ago.
Ford Europe: Ford Europe's full-year pre-tax profit was $997 million, up from
$455 million in 2006. The improvement reflected continued progress on cost
reductions, improved volume and mix, and higher net pricing. Full-year revenue
improved to $36.5 billion from $30.4 billion in 2006.
For the fourth quarter, Ford Europe pre-tax profits were $223 million, up from
$218 million a year ago. The improvement was primarily explained by favorable
cost performance, offset by lower volume. Fourth-quarter revenue was $10.4
billion, an improvement from $8.8 billion a year ago.
Premier Automotive Group (PAG): PAG reported a full-year pre-tax profit of $504
million, compared with a loss of $344 million a year ago. The improvement was
more than explained by cost reductions across all brands, volume growth, and
higher net pricing at Land Rover, partially offset by unfavorable changes in
currency exchange rates and adverse mix. Volvo incurred a loss for the full
year. Full-year revenue for PAG was $33.2 billion, compared with $30.0 billion
in 2006.
For the fourth quarter, PAG reported a $59 million profit, compared with $174
million in the same period a year ago. The decline was more than explained by
Volvo, primarily reflecting adverse currency exchange rates, product mix, and
the non-repeat of one-time profit impacts included in 2006 results. Within PAG,
Volvo was breakeven, with the combined Jaguar and Land Rover operations
accounting for the profit. PAG revenue for the quarter was $9.0 billion,
compared with $8.6 billion a year ago.
Asia Pacific and Africa: For full-year 2007, Asia Pacific and Africa reported a
pre-tax profit of $40 million, compared with a pre-tax loss of $185 million a
year ago. The improvement primarily reflected favorable cost performance and
net revenue, and higher profits from our Chinese joint ventures, partially
offset by adverse mix and exchange. Full-year revenue was $7.0 billion,
compared with $6.5 billion a year ago.
For the fourth quarter, Asia Pacific and Africa reported a pre-tax profit of $10
million, compared with a pre-tax loss of $135 million a year ago. The
improvement primarily reflected favorable net revenue, improved cost
performance, and higher profits in China. Fourth-quarter revenue was $1.7
billion, compared with $1.4 billion in 2006.
Mazda: For the full year, Ford earned $204 million from its investment in Mazda
and associated operations, compared with $168 million in 2006. Ford earned $83
million from its investment in Mazda and associated operations in the fourth
quarter, compared with $51 million a year ago.
Other Automotive: Other Automotive, which consists of interest and financing-
related costs, accounted for a full-year pre-tax loss of $547 million, compared
with a pre-tax profit of $247 million in 2006. The decline primarily reflected
the non-recurrence of last year's tax-related interest income of about $670
million, and higher net interest expense associated with financing implemented
during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Fourth-quarter Other Automotive results included a pre-tax loss of $128 million,
compared with a pre-tax loss of $59 million a year ago. The change was more
than explained by higher net interest expense.
FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR For the full year, the Financial Services sector
earned a pre-tax profit of $1.2 billion, compared with a pre-tax profit of $2.0
billion in 2006. For the fourth quarter, the Financial Services sector earned
$269 million, compared with $416 million a year ago.
Ford Motor Credit Company: Ford Motor Credit Company reported net income of $775
million in 2007, down from earnings of $1.3 billion a year ago. On a pre-tax
basis, Ford Motor Credit earned $1.2 billion in 2007, down $738 million from
2006. The decrease in full-year earnings primarily reflected the non-recurrence
of credit loss reserve reductions, higher borrowing costs, higher depreciation
expense for leased vehicles and higher costs due to Ford Motor Credit's North
American business transformation initiative. These factors were partially
offset by lower net losses related to market valuation adjustments from
derivatives and improved operating costs.
In the fourth quarter of 2007, Ford Motor Credit's net income was $186 million,
down $93 million from a year earlier. On a pre-tax basis, Ford Motor Credit
earned $263 million in the fourth quarter, compared with $406 million in the
previous year. The decrease in fourth quarter earnings primarily reflected the
non-recurrence of credit loss reserve reductions, higher borrowing costs and
higher depreciation expense for leased vehicles, offset partially by lower
expenses and the non-recurrence of losses related to market valuation
adjustments from derivatives.
2008 OUTLOOK 'Although our Automotive operations are improving on a year-over-
year basis, the U.S. economy is slowing and the outlook for the auto industry
remains challenging,' said Mulally. 'To help ensure we are able to deliver our
commitments despite the difficult external environment, we will be taking
further cost reduction actions in North America, including enterprise-wide UAW
buyouts. In addition, we will continue to accelerate the flow of new products,
reduce vehicle complexity, and adjust production to the changing business
environment.'

overcapacity, currency fluctuations or other factors;
• An increase in or acceleration of market shift away from sales of trucks,
sport utility vehicles, or other more profitable vehicles, particularly in
the United States;

or Europe, resulting from slowing economic growth, geo-political events or
other factors;
• Lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of new or existing products;
• Continued or increased high prices for or reduced availability of fuel;
• Currency or commodity price fluctuations;
• Adverse effects from the bankruptcy or insolvency of, change in ownership

require us to provide financial support or take other measures to ensure
supplies of components or materials;
• Labor or other constraints on our ability to restructure our business;
• Work stoppages at Ford or supplier facilities or other interruptions of
supplies;
• Single-source supply of components or materials;

health care cost trends);
• The discovery of defects in vehicles resulting in delays in new model
launches, recall campaigns or increased warranty costs;

into long-term supply arrangements that commit us to purchase minimum or
fixed quantities of certain parts or materials, or to pay a minimum amount
to the seller ('take-or-pay' contracts);
• Adverse effects on our results from a decrease in or cessation of
government incentives;
• Adverse effects on our operations resulting from certain geo-political or
other events;

to medium-term affecting our ability to meet our obligations, invest in our
business or refinance our debt;
• Substantial levels of Automotive indebtedness adversely affecting our
financial condition or preventing us from fulfilling our debt obligations
(which may grow because we are able to incur substantially more debt,
including additional secured debt);
• Higher-than-expected credit losses;
• Increased competition from banks or other financial institutions seeking to
increase their share of financing Ford vehicles;
• Changes in interest rates;
• Inability of Ford Credit to access debt or securitization markets around

credit rating downgrades, market volatility, market disruption or
otherwise;

investment in operating leases;
• Lower-than-anticipated residual values or higher-than-expected return
volumes for leased vehicles; and
