Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F)

Segment profitability for Ford Blue demonstrated significant fluctuation over the five-year period. Initial growth was followed by a decline, indicating potential shifts in market dynamics or internal operational factors impacting this segment.

Segment EBIT/EBT

Segment Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) exhibited a substantial increase from 2021 to 2022, rising from US$3,293 million to US$6,847 million. This growth continued, albeit at a slower pace, reaching US$7,462 million in 2023. However, a notable decrease occurred in 2024, with EBIT falling to US$5,284 million, and this downward trend persisted into 2025, reaching US$3,024 million. This suggests increasing cost pressures or weakening demand in later periods.

Revenues

Revenues for Ford Blue generally increased throughout the period. From US$110,466 million in 2021, revenues grew to US$130,782 million in 2022 and further to US$140,627 million in 2023. Revenue growth slowed in 2024, reaching US$145,377 million, and remained relatively stable in 2025 at US$145,928 million. The stabilization of revenue alongside declining EBIT suggests a potential erosion of profitability despite maintained sales volume.

Segment Profit Margin

The segment profit margin mirrored the trend in EBIT. It increased from 2.98% in 2021 to a peak of 5.31% in 2023. A subsequent decline was observed in 2024, with the margin decreasing to 3.63%, and continued into 2025, falling to 2.07%. This indicates a diminishing ability to convert revenue into profit, potentially due to rising input costs, increased competition, or pricing pressures. The substantial decrease in margin from 2023 to 2025 warrants further investigation.

The observed patterns suggest that while Ford Blue experienced a period of strong profitability, recent performance indicates increasing challenges. The divergence between relatively stable revenues and declining profit margins highlights a need to analyze cost structures and pricing strategies within this segment.

The financial performance of this segment demonstrates a consistent pattern of losses over the five-year period. While revenues have fluctuated, segment profitability has remained negative, and the segment profit margin has deteriorated significantly before showing some improvement in the most recent year.

Segment EBIT/EBT

Segment Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) or Earnings Before Tax (EBT) consistently reflect losses. The magnitude of these losses increased from US$1,922 million in 2021 to US$4,839 million in 2023. Losses peaked at US$5,126 million in 2024 before decreasing slightly to US$4,806 million in 2025. This indicates a continuing challenge in achieving profitability despite revenue changes.

Revenues

Revenues increased from US$3,304 million in 2021 to US$5,473 million in 2022, and further to US$6,529 million in 2023. However, revenues decreased substantially to US$4,116 million in 2024, before recovering to US$7,166 million in 2025. This volatility suggests sensitivity to external factors or internal strategic shifts.

Segment Profit Margin

The segment profit margin has been consistently negative. It began at -58.17% in 2021 and worsened to -74.12% in 2023. A significant decline was observed in 2024, reaching -124.54%, indicating substantial losses relative to revenue. The margin improved to -67.07% in 2025, though it remains considerably negative. The substantial margin decline in 2024, despite revenue increases, suggests a significant increase in costs or a decrease in pricing power. The subsequent improvement in 2025, alongside revenue growth, indicates some positive momentum, but continued losses remain a concern.

The relationship between revenue and segment profit margin suggests that revenue growth alone is insufficient to drive profitability. Cost management and pricing strategies appear to be critical areas for improvement within this segment.

The Ford Pro segment demonstrated a positive trajectory in financial performance from 2021 through 2023, followed by a moderation in 2024 and a decline in 2025. Segment EBIT/EBT and Revenues both exhibited growth over the initial three-year period, contributing to a significant improvement in profitability. However, recent years suggest a potential stabilization and subsequent contraction in these gains.

Segment Profit Margin

The segment profit margin increased consistently from 6.25% in 2021 to a peak of 13.47% in 2024. This represents a substantial improvement in the segment’s ability to convert revenue into profit. However, the margin decreased to 10.32% in 2025, indicating a potential reversal of this positive trend. The increase from 2021 to 2024 suggests successful cost management, pricing strategies, or a shift towards higher-margin products and services within the Ford Pro segment. The subsequent decline in 2025 warrants further investigation to determine the underlying causes, such as increased input costs, competitive pressures, or changes in sales mix.

EBIT/EBT Trend

Segment EBIT/EBT grew from US$2,665 million in 2021 to US$7,222 million in 2023, demonstrating strong earnings expansion. Continued growth was observed in 2024, reaching US$9,015 million. However, EBIT/EBT decreased to US$6,843 million in 2025. This suggests that while the segment experienced considerable success in increasing profitability, the gains may not be sustainable at the peak 2024 levels.

Revenue Trend

Revenues followed a similar pattern to EBIT/EBT, increasing from US$42,649 million in 2021 to US$58,058 million in 2023, and further to US$66,906 million in 2024. Revenue growth slowed considerably in 2025, with a slight decrease to US$66,286 million. This indicates a potential saturation of the market or increased competition impacting sales volume. The revenue figures support the notion that the segment’s profitability is linked to its ability to generate sales, and the recent slowdown in revenue growth may be a contributing factor to the decline in profit margin observed in 2025.

Overall, the Ford Pro segment exhibited strong performance between 2021 and 2024, but the results from 2025 suggest a potential shift in the segment’s trajectory. Monitoring these trends closely will be crucial to understanding the long-term sustainability of the segment’s profitability.

Segment profit margin for Ford Credit demonstrates considerable fluctuation over the five-year period. Initial profitability was strong, but experienced a significant decline before showing signs of recovery towards the end of the analyzed timeframe. A review of the underlying EBIT/EBT and revenue figures reveals the drivers of these changes.

Segment Profit Margin Trend

The segment profit margin began at 46.83% in 2021. A substantial decrease was observed in 2022, falling to 29.59%. This downward trend continued into 2023, with the margin reaching a low of 12.93%. A modest improvement occurred in 2024, with the margin increasing to 13.46%, followed by a more pronounced increase to 19.27% in 2025. This indicates a potential stabilization and recovery in profitability.

EBIT/EBT Analysis

Segment EBIT/EBT peaked at US$4,717 million in 2021, aligning with the high profit margin. The subsequent decline in 2022 to US$2,657 million contributed to the margin compression. Further reduction to US$1,331 million in 2023 represented the lowest EBIT/EBT value within the period. A slight recovery to US$1,654 million in 2024 was followed by a more substantial increase to US$2,557 million in 2025, mirroring the margin improvement.

Revenue Analysis

Revenues experienced a decrease from US$10,073 million in 2021 to US$8,978 million in 2022. However, revenues then increased in subsequent years, reaching US$10,290 million in 2023, US$12,286 million in 2024, and US$13,271 million in 2025. While revenue growth contributed to the improved performance in later years, the significant margin expansion in 2025 suggests that cost management or pricing strategies also played a role.

The interplay between EBIT/EBT and revenues suggests that the initial margin decline was likely driven by a combination of decreasing profitability and falling revenues. The recovery observed in 2024 and 2025 appears to be fueled by both revenue growth and improved operational efficiency, as evidenced by the increasing EBIT/EBT and the expanding profit margin.

Segment performance for Ford Blue demonstrates significant fluctuations in profitability and asset utilization over the five-year period. Segment EBIT/EBT and Total Assets both generally increased through 2023, but subsequent years show a reversal of this trend. Segment Return on Assets (ROA) mirrors this pattern, peaking in 2023 before declining substantially.

EBIT/EBT Trend

Segment EBIT/EBT increased substantially from $3.293 billion in 2021 to $6.847 billion in 2022, representing a significant improvement in profitability. This positive trend continued into 2023, reaching $7.462 billion. However, 2024 witnessed a considerable decrease to $5.284 billion, and this decline accelerated in 2025, falling to $3.024 billion. This suggests increasing pressure on profitability in the latter part of the period.

Total Assets Trend

Total assets exhibited a moderate increase from $55.456 billion in 2021 to $56.023 billion in 2022. Growth continued, reaching $58.990 billion in 2023. Assets remained relatively stable in 2024 at $58.791 billion, but increased notably to $63.257 billion in 2025. The increase in assets in 2025, coupled with the decline in EBIT/EBT, warrants further investigation.

Segment ROA Trend

Segment ROA increased from 5.94% in 2021 to 12.22% in 2022, indicating improved efficiency in generating profit from assets. The ROA further improved to 12.65% in 2023, representing the peak performance during the analyzed period. A substantial decline was observed in 2024, with ROA falling to 8.99%. This downward trend continued in 2025, with ROA decreasing to 4.78%. The decline in ROA suggests a diminishing ability to generate earnings from the asset base.

The combined trends indicate that while Ford Blue experienced strong performance through 2023, profitability and asset utilization weakened considerably in the subsequent two years. The increase in total assets in 2025, alongside declining EBIT/EBT and ROA, suggests potential inefficiencies or increased investment in less profitable ventures. Further analysis is needed to understand the drivers behind these changes.

The financial performance of this segment exhibits a concerning trend over the analyzed period. While initial years demonstrate substantial losses, asset levels fluctuate significantly before culminating in a markedly negative return on assets in the final year.

Segment EBIT/EBT

Segment earnings before interest and taxes consistently reflect losses throughout the five-year period. The magnitude of these losses increases from US$1,922 million in 2021 to US$4,839 million in 2023, before decreasing slightly to US$5,126 million in 2024 and then to US$4,806 million in 2025. This indicates a persistent inability to generate profit from segment operations, with a peak in losses occurring in 2023 and 2024.

Total Assets

Total assets within the segment initially decrease from US$5,888 million in 2021 to US$5,677 million in 2022. A substantial increase is then observed, rising to US$13,855 million in 2023 and further to US$17,225 million in 2024. However, assets experience a significant decline in 2025, falling to US$6,482 million. This pattern suggests considerable investment followed by a potential asset write-down or reallocation in the final year.

Segment ROA

Segment return on assets begins at -32.64% in 2021 and deteriorates to -53.88% in 2022, reflecting the increasing losses relative to the asset base. A partial recovery is seen in 2023 and 2024, with ROA improving to -34.93% and -29.76% respectively, likely due to the increase in total assets. However, ROA experiences a dramatic decline in 2025, reaching -74.14%. This substantial decrease, coupled with the significant reduction in total assets, indicates a severe deterioration in the segment’s ability to generate returns from its resources.

The combination of persistent losses and fluctuating asset levels results in a volatile and ultimately negative return on assets. The sharp decline in ROA in 2025 warrants further investigation to understand the underlying causes, particularly in relation to the substantial decrease in total assets during that year.

Segment performance for Ford Pro demonstrates a strong upward trend in profitability and asset utilization between 2021 and 2023, followed by a moderation in 2024 and a decline in 2025. Segment EBIT/EBT and Total Assets both increased consistently during the initial period, contributing to significant improvements in Segment ROA.

Segment EBIT/EBT

Segment EBIT/EBT increased from US$2,665 million in 2021 to US$3,222 million in 2022, representing a growth of approximately 21%. This positive momentum continued into 2023 with a substantial increase to US$7,222 million. Further growth was observed in 2024, reaching US$9,015 million. However, 2025 saw a decrease to US$6,843 million, indicating a potential shift in profitability.

Total Assets

Total assets for the segment exhibited consistent growth throughout the analyzed period. From US$1,809 million in 2021, assets increased to US$2,177 million in 2022, and then to US$2,942 million in 2023. This growth continued in 2024, reaching US$3,469 million, and further increased to US$4,189 million in 2025. The consistent increase in assets suggests ongoing investment and expansion within the segment.

Segment ROA

Segment ROA experienced a dramatic increase from 147.32% in 2021 to 148.00% in 2022. This upward trend accelerated significantly in 2023, reaching 245.48%, and continued into 2024 with a further increase to 259.87%. However, in 2025, Segment ROA decreased substantially to 163.36%, despite the continued growth in total assets. This decline in ROA, coupled with the decrease in EBIT/EBT, suggests a potential reduction in the efficiency of asset utilization or increased costs within the segment during that year.

The substantial increase in Segment ROA from 2021 to 2024 indicates a highly effective use of assets to generate earnings. The decrease in 2025 warrants further investigation to determine the underlying causes and potential implications for future performance.

Segment performance for Ford Credit demonstrates a fluctuating return on assets over the five-year period. While segment EBIT/EBT and total assets generally increased, the segment ROA experienced initial decline followed by a recovery.

Segment EBIT/EBT

Segment EBIT/EBT decreased from US$4,717 million in 2021 to US$2,657 million in 2022, representing a significant reduction. A further decrease was observed in 2023, falling to US$1,331 million. However, a recovery began in 2024 with EBIT/EBT reaching US$1,654 million, and continued into 2025, increasing to US$2,557 million. This indicates improving profitability in the latter years of the period.

Total Assets

Total assets exhibited a consistent upward trend throughout the period. Beginning at US$134,428 million in 2021, assets grew to US$137,954 million in 2022, US$148,521 million in 2023, US$157,534 million in 2024, and reached US$161,863 million in 2025. This suggests expansion of Ford Credit’s balance sheet.

Segment ROA

Segment ROA declined from 3.51% in 2021 to 1.93% in 2022, mirroring the decrease in segment EBIT/EBT. The decline continued in 2023, reaching a low of 0.90%. A modest recovery was seen in 2024, with ROA increasing to 1.05%. The ROA further improved in 2025, reaching 1.58%, though it did not return to the levels observed in 2021. The increase in ROA in 2024 and 2025, despite continued asset growth, suggests improved efficiency in utilizing those assets to generate earnings.

The relationship between EBIT/EBT and total assets indicates that while Ford Credit expanded its asset base, its ability to generate earnings from those assets was initially hampered. The subsequent recovery in EBIT/EBT, coupled with continued asset growth, led to an improvement in ROA, though the segment’s profitability relative to its asset base remains below the 2021 level.

The financial performance of Ford Blue demonstrates a generally positive trend in revenue generation relative to its asset base between 2021 and 2024, followed by a slight decline in the most recent year. Revenues increased consistently from 2021 through 2024, while total assets experienced more moderate fluctuations. This resulted in a rising segment asset turnover ratio for the majority of the period.

Revenues

Revenues for Ford Blue increased from US$110.466 billion in 2021 to US$145.377 billion in 2024, representing a cumulative growth of approximately 31.6%. Revenue growth slowed in 2025, with a reported value of US$145.928 billion, indicating a marginal increase from the prior year.

Total Assets

Total assets exhibited a more subdued pattern. An initial increase from US$55.456 billion in 2021 to US$58.990 billion in 2023 was followed by a slight decrease to US$58.791 billion in 2024. A more substantial increase was observed in 2025, reaching US$63.257 billion. This suggests potential investment or changes in asset composition during that period.

Segment Asset Turnover

The segment asset turnover ratio, a measure of how efficiently assets are used to generate revenue, increased from 1.99 in 2021 to 2.47 in 2024. This indicates improving efficiency in asset utilization. However, the ratio decreased slightly to 2.31 in 2025. While still representing a strong level of asset utilization, the decline warrants further investigation to determine the underlying causes, potentially related to the increase in total assets in that year.

Overall, Ford Blue demonstrated strengthening operational efficiency in terms of asset turnover from 2021 to 2024. The slight decrease in the asset turnover ratio in 2025, coupled with the increase in total assets, suggests a potential shift in the segment’s asset strategy or operational dynamics that may require further scrutiny.

The segment experienced fluctuating revenues and significant changes in total assets between 2021 and 2025. These shifts have resulted in a volatile segment asset turnover ratio over the analyzed period.

Revenues

Revenues increased substantially from US$3,304 million in 2021 to US$5,473 million in 2022, and continued to rise to US$6,529 million in 2023. A decrease was then observed in 2024, with revenues falling to US$4,116 million, before recovering to US$7,166 million in 2025. This indicates periods of strong growth followed by contraction and subsequent recovery.

Total Assets

Total assets initially decreased from US$5,888 million in 2021 to US$5,677 million in 2022. A considerable increase followed, reaching US$13,855 million in 2023 and peaking at US$17,225 million in 2024. A substantial decline was then recorded in 2025, with total assets decreasing to US$6,482 million. This suggests significant investment followed by a potential asset reduction strategy.

Segment Asset Turnover

The segment asset turnover ratio exhibited considerable variation. It began at 0.56 in 2021, increased to 0.96 in 2022, and then decreased to 0.47 in 2023. A further decline was noted in 2024, falling to 0.24. However, the ratio rebounded strongly in 2025, reaching 1.11. The 2024 value represents the lowest turnover within the period, while 2025 shows the highest. This volatility suggests an inefficient use of assets in some years, followed by improved efficiency in others, likely correlated with the revenue and asset fluctuations.

The substantial increase in assets in 2023 and 2024 did not immediately translate into proportional revenue growth, resulting in lower asset turnover ratios during those years. The recovery in 2025, with both increased revenues and decreased assets, led to a significant improvement in the segment asset turnover ratio.

The Ford Pro segment experienced consistent revenue growth between 2021 and 2023, followed by continued growth in 2024 and a slight decrease in 2025. Simultaneously, total assets within the segment increased steadily throughout the observed period. However, the segment asset turnover ratio demonstrates a declining trend over the five-year period.

Revenues

Revenues for Ford Pro increased from US$42.649 billion in 2021 to US$58.058 billion in 2023, representing a substantial growth trajectory. This growth continued into 2024, reaching US$66.906 billion, before experiencing a modest decline to US$66.286 billion in 2025. This suggests a period of strong expansion followed by a potential stabilization or slight contraction.

Total Assets

Total assets allocated to the Ford Pro segment increased consistently from US$1.809 billion in 2021 to US$4.189 billion in 2025. This indicates ongoing investment in the segment’s resources and capabilities, potentially to support the revenue growth observed during the earlier part of the period.

Segment Asset Turnover

The segment asset turnover ratio, which measures the efficiency with which assets are used to generate revenue, decreased from 23.58 in 2021 to 15.82 in 2025. This represents a consistent downward trend. While revenues increased, the growth in assets outpaced revenue growth, resulting in a lower ratio. The ratio decreased from 23.58 to 22.48 between 2021 and 2022, then to 19.73 and 19.29 in the following two years, before a more significant drop to 15.82 in 2025. This suggests diminishing efficiency in asset utilization within the Ford Pro segment.

The combination of increasing assets and a declining asset turnover ratio warrants further investigation. It may indicate that the segment is becoming less efficient in converting its investments in assets into sales, or that the asset base is growing at a rate that is not proportionally matched by revenue generation. Potential factors contributing to this trend could include increased working capital requirements, investments in long-term assets that have not yet yielded significant returns, or a shift in the segment’s business model.

Ford Credit demonstrated consistent revenue performance between 2021 and 2025, with a notable increase in the later years. Total assets for the segment also exhibited a general upward trend throughout the period. However, the segment asset turnover ratio remained relatively stable, indicating a consistent, though not improving, efficiency in utilizing assets to generate revenue.

Revenues

Revenues for Ford Credit decreased from US$10,073 million in 2021 to US$8,978 million in 2022. A recovery was then observed, with revenues increasing to US$10,290 million in 2023, US$12,286 million in 2024, and further to US$13,271 million in 2025. This suggests a strengthening of the business in the latter part of the analyzed period.

Total Assets

Total assets increased steadily from US$134,428 million in 2021 to US$161,863 million in 2025. The increases were incremental, moving to US$137,954 million in 2022, US$148,521 million in 2023, and US$157,534 million in 2024. This indicates a consistent expansion of the asset base within the segment.

Segment Asset Turnover

The segment asset turnover ratio remained constant at 0.07 from 2021 to 2023. A slight improvement was then noted, with the ratio increasing to 0.08 in both 2024 and 2025. While the ratio experienced a modest increase, the overall stability suggests that the efficiency with which Ford Credit utilizes its assets to generate revenue has not significantly changed over the five-year period. The consistent ratio, despite increasing revenues and assets, implies that asset growth and revenue growth have moved in tandem.

In summary, Ford Credit experienced revenue fluctuations followed by growth, alongside a consistent increase in total assets. The segment asset turnover ratio remained largely unchanged, indicating a stable, but not demonstrably improving, level of asset utilization efficiency.

The segment capital expenditures to depreciation ratio for Ford Blue demonstrates a generally increasing trend over the five-year period from 2021 to 2025. While fluctuations are present, the ratio consistently remains above 1.40, indicating that capital spending consistently exceeds annual depreciation and tooling amortization within this segment.

Capital Spending

Cash outflow for capital spending experienced a decrease from $5,214 million in 2021 to $4,702 million in 2022. Subsequent years show some volatility, with increases to $4,963 million in 2023 and $4,976 million in 2025, separated by a decrease to $4,490 million in 2024. This suggests a relatively stable level of investment, with some year-to-year adjustments.

Depreciation and Tooling Amortization

Depreciation and tooling amortization decreased from $3,445 million in 2021 to $3,365 million in 2022 and remained relatively stable at $3,378 million in 2023. A more noticeable decrease occurred in 2024, falling to $2,952 million, before partially recovering to $3,188 million in 2025. This decline may reflect the age of the asset base or changes in accounting estimates.

Segment Capital Expenditures to Depreciation Ratio

The ratio began at 1.51 in 2021, decreased to 1.40 in 2022, and then increased to 1.47 in 2023. A further increase to 1.52 in 2024 was observed, followed by a rise to 1.56 in 2025. This upward trajectory suggests that Ford Blue is increasingly investing in capital assets relative to the depreciation of its existing assets. The consistent value above 1.0 indicates that the segment is actively renewing and expanding its asset base.

The combination of relatively stable capital spending and decreasing depreciation contributes to the observed increase in the ratio. This pattern could indicate a strategic shift towards modernization or expansion within the Ford Blue segment.

Analysis of capital expenditures relative to depreciation within the Model e segment reveals a consistent pattern of increasing investment over the analyzed period. Cash outflow for capital spending and depreciation both increased, but the rate of increase in capital spending significantly outpaced that of depreciation, resulting in a rising capital expenditures to depreciation ratio.

Capital Spending

Cash outflow for capital spending demonstrated substantial growth, increasing from US$562 million in 2021 to US$2,867 million in 2023. While growth moderated in subsequent years, it remained at a high level, reaching US$3,846 million in 2024 before decreasing slightly to US$3,543 million in 2025. This indicates a sustained commitment to investment within the segment.

Depreciation and Tooling Amortization

The rate of increase slowed in 2024 and 2025, with values of US$568 million and US$565 million respectively, suggesting a potential stabilization as prior investments begin to be fully depreciated.

Segment Capital Expenditures to Depreciation Ratio

The segment capital expenditures to depreciation ratio exhibited a clear upward trend, increasing from 3.75 in 2021 to 6.77 in 2024. This signifies that capital spending grew at a faster rate than depreciation. While the ratio decreased slightly to 6.27 in 2025, it remained significantly higher than the initial value, indicating continued substantial investment relative to the depreciation of existing assets. A ratio consistently above 5 suggests a significant focus on growth and expansion, potentially involving the addition of substantial new assets.

The observed trends suggest a period of aggressive investment within the Model e segment, with capital spending outpacing depreciation. The slight decrease in the capital expenditures to depreciation ratio in 2025 may indicate a shift towards a more balanced approach, but overall investment levels remain high.

The segment capital expenditures to depreciation ratio for Ford Pro demonstrates fluctuations over the five-year period. Initial values indicate a relatively higher level of capital spending relative to depreciation, which subsequently decreased before showing signs of recovery.

Capital Spending

Cash outflow for capital spending decreased significantly from $59 million in 2021 to $7 million in 2023. A subsequent increase is observed in 2024 and 2025, reaching $37 million and $49 million respectively. This suggests a period of reduced investment followed by renewed capital allocation.

Depreciation and Tooling Amortization

Depreciation and tooling amortization remained relatively stable throughout the period, ranging between $1,291 million and $1,522 million. A slight decrease is noted from 2022 to 2023, followed by a modest increase in 2024 and 2025, remaining near $1,390 million. This indicates consistent asset base utilization and replacement.

Segment Capital Expenditures to Depreciation Ratio

The ratio declined from 0.04 in 2021 to a low of 0.01 in 2023, reflecting the substantial decrease in capital spending relative to depreciation. The ratio then increased to 0.03 in 2024 and 0.04 in 2025, aligning with the rise in capital expenditures. This suggests a potential shift in investment strategy, with a renewed focus on capital projects in the later years of the period.

The observed pattern suggests a period of capital expenditure constraint followed by a resumption of investment. The ratio’s movement indicates a dynamic allocation of resources within the Ford Pro segment, potentially in response to evolving market conditions or strategic priorities.

Analysis of segment capital expenditures to depreciation for the observed period reveals a consistent, albeit gradual, increase in the ratio. Cash outflow for capital spending has risen steadily throughout the period, while depreciation and tooling amortization have experienced a more moderate increase. This dynamic results in a growing ratio of capital expenditures to depreciation.

Cash outflow for capital spending

Cash outflow for capital spending demonstrates a clear upward trend, increasing from US$44 million in 2021 to US$121 million in 2025. This represents a compound annual growth rate of approximately 22.8%. The increases are consistent year-over-year, suggesting a sustained investment strategy.

Depreciation and tooling amortization

Depreciation and tooling amortization also increased over the period, moving from US$1,666 million in 2021 to US$2,589 million in 2025. However, the growth is less pronounced than that of capital expenditures, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 9.1%. The rate of increase slows somewhat between 2022 and 2023, before resuming a similar pace in subsequent years.

Segment capital expenditures to depreciation

The segment capital expenditures to depreciation ratio exhibits a consistent upward trajectory, starting at 0.03 in 2021 and reaching 0.05 in 2025. While the initial values are low, the increase suggests that capital spending is growing at a faster rate than the depreciation of existing assets.
