Ford Motor Company announced its fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 financial results.
“Ford is becoming a fundamentally stronger company. We finished 2024 with a solid fourth quarter, capping the highest revenue year in Ford’s history,” said President and CEO Jim Farley. “Our product portfolio offers the broadest powertrain choice. And Ford Pro, with its mid-teen margins, leading market position, and growing service and repair revenue, provides unique advantages for continued growth.”
“In 2025, we expect to make significantly more progress on our two biggest areas of opportunity – quality and cost – as we enter the heart of our Ford+ transformation. We control those key profit drivers, and I am confident that we are on the right path to create long-term value for all our stakeholders.”
Added Sherry House, Ford’s vice president, Finance, and incoming CFO: “The Ford+ plan is built on strong fundamentals and we expect to build momentum and earnings power through 2025. We are remaking Ford into a higher growth, higher margin, more capital efficient and more durable company that is focused on delivering great value to our customers and shareholders.”
The company posted fourth-quarter revenue of $48.2 billion, a $2.2 billion increase from the same period a year ago. Fourth-quarter net income was $1.8 billion; adjusted earnings before interest and taxes was $2.1 billion.
