- Cash and Cash Equivalents
- Cash and cash equivalents as a percentage of total assets exhibited moderate volatility, fluctuating between approximately 7.1% and 11.5% over the observed periods. There was a notable peak around mid-2020 followed by a decline and subsequent stabilization near the 8-9% range in recent quarters, suggesting a relatively steady liquidity position with some short-term variations.
- Marketable Securities
- Marketable securities showed a gradual downward trend overall, declining from a high of 11.3% in late 2020 to a range between 4.7% and 7.7% in the most recent periods. This decrease potentially indicates a shift away from easily liquidated financial assets or reallocations into other asset types.
- Ford Credit Finance Receivables (Net of Allowance for Credit Losses)
- This category displayed two series: one showing a decline from about 20.8% to roughly 12.6% in 2021, then a gradual increase back up to around 18.2% by early 2025; the other showing a relatively stable range hovering near 20%, with minor fluctuations. The initial decline may reflect credit policy adjustments or asset reclassifications, followed by recovery and stabilization, suggesting ongoing credit financing activity.
- Trade and Other Receivables, Less Allowances
- This item exhibited an increasing trend, rising from approximately 2.5% in early 2020 to peak values above 6% in recent quarters. The upward trend indicates growth in receivables, which may relate to expanded sales or changes in credit terms to customers.
- Inventories
- Inventory levels as a percentage of total assets showed a rising trajectory from about 4.3% in early 2020 to peaks near 6.8%, with some recent reductions. This pattern suggests accumulation of inventory possibly due to supply chain factors or strategic stockpiling but with attempts at optimization toward the end of the period.
- Other Assets (Current and Non-Current)
- The sum of other assets in current and non-current categories remained relatively constant, generally between 1.3% and 6.1%, with minor fluctuations. This stability points to a consistent share of miscellaneous assets in the total asset structure.
- Current Assets
- Current assets as a percentage of total assets remained fairly stable, fluctuating around the 40-47% range throughout the periods. The relative constancy suggests a balanced short-term asset structure despite changes in specific components within current assets.
- Net Investment in Operating Leases
- This item trended downward from approximately 10.8% in early 2020 to about 7.7-9% in the later periods, indicating a reduction in lease-related asset investments, which may reflect changing leasing strategies or amortization effects.
- Net Property
- Net property as a percentage of total assets demonstrated minor variation but generally held steady around 13-15%, highlighting consistent investment in fixed assets over time without significant expansions or reductions.
- Equity in Net Assets of Affiliated Companies
- This component showed an increase from below 1% in early 2020 to a peak near 2.8% in late 2023, followed by a decline toward current levels around 1.7-1.8%. The initial growth signals increased contributions or valuations from affiliates, with recent moderation.
- Deferred Income Taxes
- The deferred income taxes percentage grew steadily from about 4.1% to slightly above 6% during the timeframe, indicating rising deferred tax assets or liabilities which can impact future cash flows and tax planning.
- Non-Current Assets
- Non-current assets consistently composed slightly over half of total assets, generally ranging between 53% and 59%. This stability implies steady long-term asset holdings supporting ongoing operations.
- Total Assets Composition
- The overall balance between current and non-current assets remained relatively fixed, preserving the company’s asset structure with current assets accounting for approximately 40-47% and non-current assets for about 53-59% of the total.
