Item
2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Ford
Motor Company ("Ford") hereby incorporates by reference its news release dated
January 25, 2007, which is herewith furnished as Exhibit 99.
Ford
will
conduct two conference calls on January 25, 2007 to review Ford's
fourth-quarter and full-year 2006 financial results. Ford's President and Chief
Executive Officer, Alan Mulally, and Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, Don Leclair, will host a presentation for the investment
community and news media beginning at 9:00 a.m. on January 25, 2007 to
review preliminary fourth-quarter and full-year 2006 financial results.
Investors may access this presentation by dialing 800-706-7741 (or
1-617-614-3471 from outside the United States). The passcode for either
telephone number is a verbal response of "Ford Earnings."
Ford
Vice
President and Treasurer, Ann Marie Petach, Ford Motor Credit Company Vice
Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, K.R. Kent, and Ford Vice President and
Controller, Peter Daniel, will host a second presentation for fixed income
analysts and investors beginning at 11:00 a.m. Investors may access this
presentation using the same dial-in information as above, with the passcode
being a verbal response of "Ford Fixed Income."
At
the
same time, a listen-only webcast and supporting presentation materials for
these
calls will be available on the Internet at www.shareholder.ford.com.
Investors may also access replays for one week following the presentation by
visiting www.shareholder.ford.com,
or by
dialing 888-286-8010 (or 1-617-801-6888 from outside the United States). The
passcode for replays of the earnings call is 29481628; the passcode for replays
of the fixed income call is 55865600. All times referenced are in Eastern
Time.
Please
note that Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K discusses pre-tax profits excluding
special items for Ford's Automotive sector and the primary operating segments
and business units within the Automotive sector. The most directly comparable
financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles is pre-tax profits including special items.
We
believe that pre-tax profits excluding special items is a useful measure to
provide investors, because it excludes those items that we do not consider
to be
indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities. As a result, pre-tax
profits excluding special items provides investors with a more relevant measure
of the results generated by our operations.
