Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Ford Motor Company uses the mark-to-market method of accounting for pension and other postretirement employee benefits (OPEB). Under this method, we recognize pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses in income when incurred rather than amortizing them over time as a component of net periodic benefit cost. The remeasurement gains and losses are reported as special items since we believe they are not reflective of our ongoing operating activities.

We expect to record a pre-tax remeasurement gain in our fourth quarter 2024 results of approximately $0.7 billion related to our pension and OPEB plans. This includes a $0.3 billion loss associated with pension plans in the United States, a $0.9 billion gain associated with pension plans outside the United States, and a $0.1 billion gain associated with OPEB plans globally. The remeasurement gain was largely driven by higher discount rates compared to year-end 2023, partially offset by asset returns lower than our assumptions. On an after-tax basis, the remeasurement is expected to increase our net income by about $0.4 billion as we expect to recognize a net tax expense based on the tax rates in the jurisdictions where there are remeasurement gains and losses. Because the remeasurement is a special item, it will not impact our total Company adjusted EBIT or adjusted earnings per share. The remeasurement did not have an impact on our cash in 2024 and does not change our expectations for pension contributions in 2025. In aggregate, our funded plans remain fully funded.

Including the impact of remeasurement gains and losses during 2024, we expect the underfunded status for our pension and OPEB plans to be about $0.5 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively, at year-end 2024, compared with $2.3 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, at year-end 2023.
