The common-size balance sheet analysis reveals a capital structure characterized by high leverage, with total liabilities consistently comprising the vast majority of total liabilities and equity. A general trend of increasing reliance on debt is observed toward the end of the analyzed period, while total equity has experienced a gradual contraction.
- Capital Structure and Leverage
- Total liabilities fluctuated between a low of 81.08% in December 2021 and a peak of 87.56% in December 2025. Correspondingly, total equity reached its maximum concentration of 18.92% in December 2021 before trending downward to 12.52% by June 2026. This inverse relationship indicates a shift toward a more leveraged financial position over the observed timeframe.
- Liability Composition
- Current liabilities remained relatively stable, generally ranging between 33% and 39% of the total balance sheet. Within this category, debt payable within one year consistently represented approximately 18% to 19% of the total. Non-current liabilities showed more variance, starting at 50.84% in March 2021, dipping to 45.27% in December 2022, and recovering to 49.68% by June 2026. Long-term debt payable after one year mirrored this trend, ending the period at 38.40%, an increase from its mid-period lows.
- Ford Credit Influence
- The liabilities associated with Ford Credit represent a substantial portion of the total funding structure. Current liabilities attributed to Ford Credit fluctuated between 26.41% and 31.87%, while non-current Ford Credit obligations remained more stable, typically hovering between 16% and 19%. This highlights the significant role of the financing arm in the overall liability profile.
- Equity Quality and Components
- Retained earnings exhibited significant volatility, peaking at 13.92% in December 2021 before declining to 7.88% by June 2026, suggesting a reduction in accumulated profits relative to total assets. This decline is further compounded by a persistent accumulated other comprehensive loss, which remained consistently negative, ranging from -2.62% to -4.13%. Treasury stock also showed a slight increase in negative impact, moving from -0.61% to -1.06% over the period, reflecting continued share repurchases.
