The asset composition of the balance sheet reveals a strategic shift in liquidity management and an increasing concentration in credit-related receivables over the analyzed period. Total current assets remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 40.75% and 45.76%, while non-current assets consistently comprised between 54% and 59% of the total asset base.
- Liquidity and Cash Position
- A notable decline in highly liquid assets is observed. Marketable securities decreased steadily from 9.31% in March 2021 to 4.46% by June 2026. While cash and cash equivalents exhibited more volatility, peaking at 10.86% in September 2021, they trended downward toward the end of the period, reaching a low of 6.25% in March 2026. This indicates a reduction in the overall immediate liquidity buffer.
- Credit and Receivable Exposure
- Finance receivables, both current and non-current, represent a dominant portion of the asset structure. Current Ford Credit finance receivables increased from 15.59% in March 2021 to 15.92% in June 2026, with a peak of 18.18% in December 2024. Non-current finance receivables remained consistently high, oscillating between 19.31% and 21.36%. Additionally, trade and other receivables saw a general upward trend, rising from 4.01% to 6.26% over the period, suggesting an increase in credit extension to customers and partners.
- Operational Asset Trends
- Inventories demonstrated an overall increase from 4.89% in March 2021, peaking at 6.84% in September 2023 before settling at 5.93% by June 2026. This suggests a higher proportion of capital tied up in unsold goods compared to the start of the period. Net property remained remarkably stable, generally holding between 13% and 15% of total assets, reflecting a consistent level of investment in fixed infrastructure relative to the total balance sheet.
- Non-Current and Tax Assets
- A significant increase is observed in deferred income taxes, which grew from 4.64% in March 2021 to 8.09% by June 2026. The net investment in operating leases showed a U-shaped pattern, declining from 10.66% in early 2021 to a low of 7.70% in March 2024, before recovering to 10.26% by June 2026. Equity in affiliated companies remained relatively low, though it experienced a sharp decline from 2.80% in September 2022 to under 1% by the end of 2025.
