**<u>Item 2.06. Material Impairments</u>.**

As previously disclosed, although we are investing in our electric vehicle ("EV") strategy, we anticipate that the market for EVs will continue to be challenging. As a result, we are taking several actions to adjust our business strategy, which impact our EV manufacturing capacity and product roadmap.

<u>BlueOval SK, LLC</u>

On December 9, 2025, Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), SK On Co., Ltd. ("SK On"), SK Battery America, Inc. ("SKBA," a wholly owned subsidiary of SK On), and BlueOval SK, LLC ("BOSK"), a joint venture company formed by Ford, SK On, and SKBA to build and operate an EV battery plant in Tennessee and two EV battery plants in Kentucky, entered into a Joint Venture Disposition Agreement. Pursuant to the Joint Venture Disposition Agreement, Ford's membership interest in BOSK will be redeemed and a Ford subsidiary will acquire the two BOSK plants and related equipment in Kentucky. Closing on the transactions contemplated by the Joint Venture Disposition Agreement is expected in the first half of 2026.

As a result of Ford's entry into the Joint Venture Disposition Agreement, on December 9, 2025, we concluded that we will recognize a charge related to our share of BOSK's long-lived asset impairment and the impairment of our remaining investment in BOSK. The aggregate expected pre-tax charge is estimated to be about $3 billion, which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025. The charge will be treated as a special item and will not result in any cash expenditures.

<u>EV Restructuring</u>

To date, we have observed lower-than-anticipated industrywide EV adoption rates due to changes in consumer sentiment, competitive dynamics, legal and policy changes, and, in the last few months, significant developments in vehicle pricing dynamics, among other factors that we continue to monitor. The recent termination of U.S. tax credits intended to incentivize the purchase of EVs has also negatively affected EV adoption rates. Further, potentially significant relaxations in the stringency of federal emissions and fuel economy standards and federal legislation that eliminated the authority of California and other states to implement and enforce their more stringent emissions standards and zero-emission vehicle sales requirements, and other actions that may be forthcoming, may add to the disruption of the market for EVs in the United States. These developments, which may continue to affect the pace of EV adoption, could extend the period of underutilization of EV production capacity across the industry.

The challenges facing the EV market have led us to conclude that we no longer see a path to long-term profitability for our EV business without taking the strategic actions described herein. Accordingly, on December 11, 2025, in response to the above, we made the decision to rationalize our EV manufacturing capacity and product roadmap, including canceling three previously planned EVs (a full-size pickup, a commercial van for the United States, and a commercial van for Europe) and ending production of the current generation F-150 Lightning EV. As a result, we concluded that our Ford Model e segment long-lived assets are impaired. In addition, we will write down certain other long-lived assets related to the canceled EVs. The aggregate expected pre-tax write-down is estimated to be about $8.5 billion, which will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025. The charge will be treated as a special item and will not result in any cash expenditures.

**<u>Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure</u>.**

<u>BlueOval SK, LLC</u>

In addition to the charges described above with respect to BOSK, as a result of our entry into the Joint Venture Disposition Agreement, we also expect to recognize pre-tax charges of about $3 billion, which primarily reflects our expected assumption of debt related to the Kentucky plants that we have guaranteed, net of the fair value of the assets we expect to receive (including the Kentucky plants and related equipment). These charges will be treated as a special item, and we expect to recognize the charges in the first half of 2026 upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Joint Venture Disposition Agreement, which is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions identified therein, including receiving approvals from various third parties. Included in these charges is about $500 million of cash expenditures we expect to make in 2026 in conjunction with the closing of the transactions under the Joint Venture Disposition Agreement.

------

<u>EV Restructuring</u>

As a result of the above decision to rationalize our EV manufacturing capacity and product roadmap, including our decision to cancel the previously planned EVs described above and no longer produce the current generation F-150 Lightning EV, we may incur additional expenses and cash expenditures of up to about $5 billion and will recognize those charges in the quarter they are incurred as a special item. We expect to record about $1 billion of these expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the remainder in 2026.

The following table summarizes the anticipated charges and expenses, cash expenditures, and timing thereof for the items described above in Item 2.06 and Item 7.01. Amounts shown in the table below are on a pre-tax basis (in billions) and will be treated as special items:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | Charges and Expenses | Charges and Expenses | Cash Expenditures | Cash Expenditures |
| | 2025 | 2026 and 2027 (majority in 2026) | 2025 | 2026 and 2027 (majority in 2026) |
| Model e Asset Impairment / Program Cancellation Asset Write-down | ~$(8.5) | $— | $— | $— |
| BOSK JV Disposition | ~(3.0) | ~(3.0) |  | ~(0.5) |
| Additional Program Cancellation-Related Expenses | ~(1.0) | ~(4.0) |  | ~(5.0) |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | ~$(19.5) | ~$(19.5) | ~$(5.5) | ~$(5.5) |

---

In addition to the charges and expenses described above in Item 2.06 and Item 7.01, this environment may lead us to further adjust our investments, spending, production, and product or future technology launches to better match the pace of EV adoption and take incremental pricing actions. Accordingly, we may continue to incur significant expenses related to program cancellation costs or otherwise, including payments to our EV-related suppliers (battery, raw material, or otherwise), asset write-downs, or other matters. These regulatory and market dynamics may continue to evolve, which could have a substantial adverse impact on our results of operations and/or business, including our investments in supply, production capacity, and equity method investments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ford may not realize the anticipated benefits of restructuring actions and such actions may cause Ford to incur significant charges, disrupt our operations, or harm our reputation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Failure to develop and deploy secure digital services that appeal to customers and grow our subscription rates could have a negative impact on Ford's business;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Industry sales volume can be volatile and could decline if there is a financial crisis, recession, public health emergency, or significant geopolitical event;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The impact of government incentives on Ford's business could be significant, and Ford's receipt of government incentives could be subject to reduction, termination, or clawback;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ford and Ford Credit's access to debt, securitization, or derivative markets around the world at competitive rates or in sufficient amounts could be affected by credit rating downgrades, market volatility, market disruption, regulatory requirements, asset portfolios, or other factors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ford Credit could experience higher-than-expected credit losses, lower-than-anticipated residual values, or higher-than-expected return volumes for leased vehicles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Economic and demographic experience for pension and OPEB plans (e.g., discount rates or investment returns) could be worse than Ford has assumed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pension and other postretirement liabilities could adversely affect Ford's liquidity and financial condition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ford and Ford Credit could experience unusual or significant litigation, governmental investigations, or adverse publicity arising out of alleged defects in products, services, perceived environmental impacts, or otherwise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ford may need to substantially modify its product plans and facilities to comply with safety, emissions, fuel economy, autonomous driving technology, environmental, and other regulations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ford and Ford Credit could be affected by the continued development of more stringent privacy, data use, data protection, data access, and artificial intelligence laws and regulations as well as consumers' heightened expectations to safeguard their personal information; and

Ford plans to begin shipping BESS systems in 2027 with 20 GWh of annual capacity • Improves profitability: Actions will drive robust accretive returns and accelerate margin improvements across Ford Model e, Ford Pro and Ford Blue. Ford Model e now expected to reach profitability by 2029 with improvements beginning in 2026 • Rationalizes U.S. EV-related assets and product roadmap: Ford expects to record about $19.5 billion in special items with the majority in the fourth quarter. The company expects about $5.5 billion in cash effects with the majority paid in 2026 and the remainder in 2027 • Raises guidance: Company raises 2025 adjusted EBIT guidance to about $7 billion given continued underlying business strength, including cost improvement. Reaffirms adjusted free cash flow guidance range, trending towards the high end of $2 billion to $3 billion DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 15, 2025 – Ford Motor Company today announced a series of actions to sharpen its Ford+ plan, executing a decisive redeployment of capital to meet customer demand and drive profitable growth. The company is shifting to higher-return opportunities, including leveraging its U.S. manufacturing footprint to add trucks and vans to its lineup and launch a new, high-growth battery energy storage business. As part of these actions, Ford no longer plans to produce select larger electric vehicles where the business case has eroded due to lower-than-expected demand, high costs and regulatory changes. This approach prioritizes affordability, choice and profits. Ford will expand powertrain choice – including a range of hybrids and extended-range electric propulsion – while focusing its pure electric vehicle development on its flexible Universal EV Platform for smaller, affordable models.

2 For news releases, related materials and high-resolution photos and video, visit www.media.ford.com. "This is a customer-driven shift to create a stronger, more resilient and more profitable Ford," said Ford president and CEO Jim Farley. "The operating reality has changed, and we are redeploying capital into higher-return growth opportunities: Ford Pro, our market-leading trucks and vans, hybrids and high- margin opportunities like our new battery energy storage business." These actions provide a path to profitability in Model e by 2029, targeting annual improvements beginning in 2026. The actions will also improve profits in Ford Blue and Ford Pro over time with early signs of benefits in 2026. As a result, Ford expects to record about $19.5 billion in special items, the majority in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the remainder in 2026 and 2027. As part of these special items, the company expects approximately $5.5 billion in cash effects, with the majority paid in 2026 and the remainder in 2027. To support these actions, Ford and its subsidiaries plan to hire thousands of people across America, reinforcing the company's leadership as the top employer of U.S. hourly autoworkers. The evolved strategy is built on four key pillars. Expanding Customer Choice with Gas, Hybrids and Low-Cost Electric Vehicle Platform By 2030, Ford expects approximately 50% of its global volume will be hybrids, extended-range EVs and fully electric vehicles, up from 17% in 2025. Ford will concentrate its North American electric vehicle development on its new, low-cost, flexible Universal EV Platform. This next-generation architecture is engineered to underpin a high-volume family of smaller, highly efficient and affordable electric vehicles designed to be accessible to millions of customers. The first vehicle from the Universal EV Platform will be the fully connected midsize pickup truck assembled at Louisville Assembly Plant starting in 2027. Ford plans to expand hybrids with a range of executions based on customer needs and duty cycle – economical, performance hybrids and hybrids with exportable power. Ford is enhancing its strategy for larger trucks and SUVs to better align with customer demand for capability, towing and range, which includes adding extended-range electric options to its lineup. As part of this plan, Ford's next-generation F-150 Lightning will shift to an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) architecture and be assembled at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan. Production of the current generation F-150 Lightning has concluded as Ford redeploys employees to Dearborn Truck Plant to support a third crew for F-150 gas and hybrid truck production as a result of the Novelis fires. "The F-150 Lightning is a groundbreaking product that demonstrated an electric pickup can still be a great F-Series," said Doug Field, Ford's chief EV, digital and design officer. "Our next-generation Lightning EREV is every bit as revolutionary. It keeps everything customers love – 100% electric power delivery, sub-5-second acceleration – and adds an estimated 700+ mile range and tows like a locomotive. It will be an incredibly versatile tool delivered in a capital-efficient way." The company no longer intends to produce a previously planned new electric commercial van for Europe but will continue to maintain its full lineup of electrified vans for that market. Ford also plans to replace a planned electric commercial van for North America with a new, affordable commercial van –

3 For news releases, related materials and high-resolution photos and video, visit www.media.ford.com. with gas and hybrid models – to meet the needs of commercial customers. This new van will be manufactured at Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant. These moves complement the company's plan to launch five new affordable vehicles by the end of the decade, four of which will be assembled in the U.S. The company also plans to expand gas, hybrid and extended-range electric options across its portfolio with nearly every vehicle featuring a hybrid or multi- energy powertrain choice by the end of the decade. Recently, Ford announced a series of changes to its business in Europe, including new leadership to drive the strategic direction, and a European product offensive that will bring a new generation of multi- energy vehicles to customers in Europe. Ford also announced a strategic partnership with Renault to collaborate in the development of electric vehicles in both the commercial and passenger segments. Expanding Ford's Truck and Van Leadership with New U.S. Production This strategy reinforces Ford's commitment to American manufacturing by repurposing its facilities in Tennessee and Ohio to expand its truck and van lineup leadership. • Tennessee Truck Plant: On the BlueOval City campus, the Tennessee Electric Vehicle Center is renamed Tennessee Truck Plant. The facility will produce all-new Built Ford Tough truck models with production starting in 2029. These new affordable gas-powered trucks will broaden Ford's truck family and extend its market leadership, replacing the previously planned next-generation electric truck. • Ohio Assembly Plant: The plant will become a central hub for Ford Pro, assembling the new gas- and hybrid-powered commercial van starting in 2029, alongside Super Duty chassis cabs, strengthening Ford's commercial vehicle dominance. Launching a Battery Energy Storage System Business Ford is launching a new business – including sales and service – to capture the large demand for battery energy storage from data centers and infrastructure to support the electric grid. Ford plans to repurpose existing U.S. battery manufacturing capacity in Glendale, Kentucky, to serve the rapidly growing battery energy storage systems market. This strategic initiative will leverage currently underutilized electric vehicle battery capacity to create a new, diversified and profitable revenue stream for Ford. The company also plans to invest roughly $2 billion in the next two years to scale the business. The Kentucky site will be converted to manufacture 5 MWh+ advanced battery energy storage systems. Ford plans to produce LFP prismatic cells, battery energy storage system modules and 20-foot DC container systems at this facility. These systems are at the heart of the energy storage solution market for data centers, utilities, and large-scale industrial and commercial customers. Leveraging more than a century of manufacturing expertise and licensed advanced battery technology, Ford plans to bring initial capacity online within 18 months, positioning the company to capture share in the growing U.S. battery energy storage systems market. Ford currently plans to deploy at least 20 GWh annually by late 2027. Last week, Ford, SK On, SK Battery America and BlueOval SK entered into a joint venture disposition agreement. Under this mutual agreement, a Ford subsidiary will independently own and operate the Kentucky battery plants. SK On will fully own and operate the Tennessee battery plant.

Separately, Ford will utilize BlueOval Battery Park Michigan in Marshall, Michigan, to produce smaller Amp-hour cells for use in residential energy storage solutions. This plant remains on track to begin manufacturing LFP prismatic battery cells in 2026 to power Ford's upcoming midsize electric truck, the first model on the new Universal EV Platform. Building a Stronger, More Sustainable Future Today's actions are consistent with Ford's goal of becoming carbon neutral across its vehicles, manufacturing facilities and supply chain no later than 2050. The company will continue its environmental leadership with investments in cleaner manufacturing, sustainable supply chains and breakthrough technologies that reduce emissions across its entire ecosystem. Updated 2025 Guidance Company raises 2025 adjusted EBIT guidance to about $7 billion given continued underlying business strength, including cost improvement. Reaffirms adjusted free cash flow guidance range, trending towards the high end of $2 billion to $3 billion.
