OREANDA-NEWS. October 29, 2015. Today, we are announcing our 2015 third quarter financial results. It was another outstanding quarter thanks to the hard work and results by our team around the world.

We set a third-quarter record for pre-tax profit and automotive operating-related cash flow, and it was our best quarter ever in North America and best third quarter since 2011 for Ford Credit. We also have not had a better third quarter in Europe since 2009, and we made improvements in South America.

The company’s third quarter pre-tax profit of \\$2.7 billion was up \\$1.5 billion and more than double a year ago. Net income was \\$1.9 billion – also more than double a year ago – and automotive operating margin grew four points to 6.5 percent. Equally important, we delivered strong top-line growth, with increased wholesale volume and revenue. In addition, we grew our global market share on a year-over-year basis for the third quarter in a row.

For the first nine months of this year, we have made \\$7 billion in profit and \\$5.2 billion in automotive operating-related cash flow. Both are more than we delivered in all of last year.

These results prove that our plan, our people and our processes are delivering. As we continue delivering in the fourth quarter, let’s stay focused on our three priorities: 
• Accelerate the pace of progress on our One Ford plan;
• Deliver product excellence with passion, and
• Drive innovation in every part of our business.

You can view our news release here with details on our performance and outlook for the remainder of the year.

We also will discuss our results, accomplishments, challenges and opportunities during today’s Global Town Hall at 7:30 a.m. EDT U.S. (9:30 a.m. S?o Paulo, 12:30 p.m. Cologne, 3:30 p.m. Dubai, 7:30 p.m. Shanghai).

On behalf of the entire leadership team, thank you for all you are doing to help Ford Go Further.
