- Payables
- Payables as a percentage of total liabilities and equity showed a general upward trend from 6.98% at the start of 2020 to peaking around 10.96% in the third quarter of 2022. It then fluctuated slightly around 9-10%, ending at 9.48% by mid-2025, indicating increased short-term obligations relative to total financing over the period.
- Other liabilities and deferred revenue (current)
- This component maintained relative stability with slight fluctuations, ranging between approximately 7.27% and 10.37%. There was a gradual increase towards the end of the period, suggesting a steady buildup in other current obligations.
- Company excluding Ford Credit (current)
- This item was relatively minor, less than 1.5% throughout, with a decline in 2020, a brief dip to its lowest at 0.15% in mid-2023, and a slight rise afterwards. This indicates a limited and variable current liability burden excluding financing operations.
- Ford Credit (current)
- Ford Credit represented a substantial share of liabilities and equity, generally near 18-19%. Over the five-year timeline, the percentage remained fairly stable with minor oscillations, reflecting consistent credit-related obligations within current liabilities.
- Debt payable within one year
- This category hovered around 18-20% of total liabilities and equity, without drastic changes. A slight decline after 2021 was partially reversed by the end of the period, indicating a stable profile of short-term debt obligations.
- Current liabilities (total)
- The overall current liabilities figure increased modestly, from 35.77% in early 2020 to a peak of 39.28% in mid-2025. This shows a gradual growth in short-term obligations relative to total financing.
- Other liabilities and deferred revenue (non-current)
- The non-current other liabilities and deferred revenue remained relatively stable, fluctuating mainly between 9.5% and 11.5%. There was no significant upward or downward trend noted over the period.
- Company excluding Ford Credit (non-current)
- This showed a decline from 10.93% in early 2020 to about 5.72% by mid-2025, indicating a reduction in longer-term liabilities pertaining to items outside Ford Credit financing operations.
- Ford Credit (non-current)
- Ford Credit non-current liabilities slightly decreased from over 32% in early 2020 to approximately 28-29% towards the end of the period. This suggests a gradual reduction in longer-term credit financing obligations.
- Long-term debt payable after one year
- Long-term debt as a percentage of total liabilities and equity declined notably from over 44% in early 2020 to roughly 34-36% subsequently. This decrease indicates a shift away from long-term debt financing or repayments/outstanding balance reductions during the period.
- Deferred income taxes
- Deferred income taxes rose slightly from 0.17% to a peak of about 0.75% in mid-2022, then stabilized between 0.3% and 0.6%, showing a moderate and stable accrual of deferred tax liabilities.
- Non-current liabilities (total)
- Non-current liabilities fell from about 53% to around 45% relative to total liabilities and equity over the observed period, indicating an overall reduction in long-term obligations as a share of total financing.
- Total liabilities
- The total liabilities ratio decreased from nearly 89% to about 84-85%, demonstrating a modest shift in the financing mix with liabilities constituting a slightly smaller portion of total liabilities and equity by mid-2025.
- Common Stock
- The proportion of common stock remained negligible and steady at around 0.01-0.02%, indicating no significant changes in par value capital relative to total financing.
- Capital in excess of par value of stock
- This component was stable around 8-9%, showing minor fluctuations but no clear upward or downward trend, reflecting steady additional paid-in capital contributions.
- Retained earnings
- Retained earnings increased significantly from 6.64% in early 2020, peaking at nearly 14% by the end of 2021, before settling to around 11% by mid-2025. This pattern suggests accumulation of earnings during 2020-2021 with some normalization afterwards.
- Accumulated other comprehensive loss
- This loss position ranged between -2.82% and -4.13% of total liabilities and equity, exhibiting volatility but generally remaining a negative equity component without a definitive trend toward improvement or deterioration.
- Treasury stock
- Treasury stock balance remained a small negative proportion, consistently near -0.6% to -1%, with a slight worsening toward the end of the period, indicating stable but slightly increasing repurchased stock levels.
- Equity attributable to Ford Motor Company
- Equity attributable to the parent company increased notably from around 11% to nearly 19% by late 2021, followed by a decline towards 15% by mid-2025. This reflects a significant strengthening of shareholders’ equity during 2020-2021, with partial reversal or reduced growth in latter years.
- Equity attributable to noncontrolling interests
- This proportion remained negligible and fluctuated close to zero throughout the periods, indicating minimal impact from minority equity holders.
- Total equity
- Total equity followed similar trends to parent equity, rising from about 11% to nearly 19% by late 2021 before decreasing to approximately 15% in mid-2025, showing an overall strengthening then slight contraction of equity financing relative to total capitalization.
