(The Epoch Times)—Ford Motor Company on Feb. 10 reported fourth-quarter revenue 2025 of $45.9 billion, a 5 percent year-over-year decline that led to its largest earnings miss since the same quarter in 2021.
Ford posted a net loss of $11.1 billion in the quarter and earnings per share of $0.13, well below analysts’ forecast of $0.18. In the year-ago quarter, Ford posted net income of $1.8 billion and earnings per share of $0.45. The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker’s full-year revenue of $187.3 billion was up from $185 billion in 2024, marking the fifth straight year of revenue growth despite the challenging fourth quarter.
Its net loss for the year, however, was $8.2 billion, versus net income of $5.9 billion in 2024.
Ford CEO Jim Farley said during a conference call with analysts that the impact from a fire at the Novelis aluminum plant in Oswego, New York—a major aluminum supplier for the automaker’s F-series pickup trucks—and unexpected changes to tariff credits for auto parts resulted in costs of roughly $4 billion.
Ford also announced in December 2025 that it would take a $19.5 billion write-down on its electric vehicle (EV) investments due to decreased consumer demand for EVs. While about $7 billion of the charges are expected to be distributed throughout the year and extend into 2027, the bulk of the write-off was absorbed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
“We dealt decisively with the reality of the market and shifted our focus of our EV business to a high-volume, affordable end-of-the-market,” Farley said.
“We improved our core business and execution, made significant progress in the areas of the business we control—lowering material and warranty costs and making real progress on quality—and made difficult but critical strategic decisions that set us up for a stronger future,” Farley added.
Ford also provided full-year guidance for 2026 of adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of $8–10 billion, up from the $6.8 billion reported in 2025, and in line with the FactSet analyst estimate of $8.78 billion.
Ongoing supply issues from the Novelis plant, which isn’t expected to reopen until June, will continue to drag on Ford’s operations through the first half of the year, Ford CFO Sherry House said.
“We remain relentlessly focused on three key levers to improve margins: improvements in EVs, highly accretive anti-cyclical businesses that grow and change our risk profile, and next-generation core products,” House said.
Ford is also grappling with record number of vehicle recalls and significant warranty costs. The automaker’s total vehicle recalls for both the quarter and year exceeded those of its closest competitors, Toyota and Chrysler, combined.
Ford’s shares fluctuated sharply on Feb. 11. As of 13: 26 p.m. ET, the stock was up by 0.26 percent. Year to date, the stock has been up 3.62 percent.
