Ford Motor Company Announces $1.7 Billion Remeasurement Loss in Pension and OPEB Plans

Details

This loss, reported as a special item, includes $0.5 billion from U.S. pension plans, $0.9 billion from international pension plans, and $0.3 billion from OPEB plans globally. The loss was driven by lower discount rates compared to year-end 2022, partially offset by asset gains. This remeasurement will decrease Ford's net income by about $1.3 billion on an after-tax basis but will not affect its adjusted EBIT or earnings per share. Ford's pension and OPEB plans remain fully funded, with an expected underfunded status of $2.3 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, at year-end 2023.
