engineering capabilities allow it to broaden its product portfolio and remain in the forefront of the automotive industry. Extensive dealer network Ford has an extensive dealer network. It manufactures and distributes automobiles across six continents. Dealers are a source of strength in North America and around the world, especially in rural areas and small towns where they represent the face of Ford. Substantially all of the company’s cars, trucks and parts are marketed through retail dealers in North America, and through distributors and dealers outside of North America, majority of which are independently owned. Ford's core and affiliated automotive brands include Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Volvo. Ford network is comprised of 11,682 dealers and has presence in 110 markets; Lincoln has 1,376 dealers in 30 markets; Mercury has 1,780 dealers in 20 markets; and Volvo has 2,269 dealers in 103 markets. An extensive network serving more than 100 countries enables Ford to meet the demand for its products in multiple regions in a cost efficient way. Diversified product base Ford has a diversified product portfolio. It is present in almost all the segments of automobiles. Ford produces a wide range of vehicles including cars for the small, medium, large and premium segments; trucks; and trucks by compact pickup, bus/van (including minivans), full-size pickup, crossover utility vehicles (CUVs) and traditional sport utility vehicles (SUVs), and medium/heavy segments. In FY2009, the company sold approximately 4,817,000 vehicles at wholesale throughout the world.The company’s vehicle brands included Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, and Volvo. Out of the total vehicles sold in 2009, Ford North America sold 1,959,000 vehicles (including sales of Mazda6 by Ford’s consolidated subsidiary, AAI, which was sold in January 2010), Ford South America sold 443,000 vehicles, Ford Europe sold 1,568,000 vehicles, Ford Asia Pacific and Africa sold 523,000 vehicles and Volvo sold 324,000 vehicles, respectively. A diverse product portfolio allows Ford to record steady revenue and provides cross selling opportunities. Strong market position Ford is one of the leading automobile manufacturers in the world. In FY2009, the company had a 15.3% (third place) market share in the combined car and truck market share in the US. Although the General Motors had a better market share in FY2009 compared to Ford, General Motors’ market share declined more than 10% compared to FY2009. Similarly, Toyota had a better market share than Ford in FY2009, but Toyota’s market share increased slightly (1.8%) compared to Ford, whereas Ford’s market share increased considerably (7.7%) from 14.2% in 2008 to 15.3% in FY2009. The market share for Volvo vehicles in the US was approximately 0.6% in 2009, up 0.1% points from 2008.This increase in market share primarily reflected the introduction of the new XC60 and improved sales of the V50.

Ford Motor Company
SWOT Analysis

The improvement in the company’s overall market share was primarily due to the result of several factors, including favorable acceptance of its redesigned products, product focus on industry growth segments, and customers' increasing awareness and acceptance of Ford’s commitment to leadership in quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart technologies and value. Further, in terms of revenues, Ford was ranked eight among the largest American corporations in the 2009 Fortune 500 companies list. The company can leverage its strong brand name and market leadership position to gain competitive advantage and also expand into international markets.

Weaknesses

Product recalls Ford announced recalls that cover some of its most popular models due to manufacturing and design problems. For instance, in June 2010, Ford recalled more than 200,000 sedans in China. Ford confirmed problems with the ignition operation of some vehicles after carrying out several tests under different conditions. Ford has also offered to fix over 200,000 cars by installing new engine calibration software to correct the problem. Similarly in May 2010, the Brazilian unit of Ford Motor recalled about 170,000 of its popular KA models in Argentina and Brazil because of a wiring problem. Some 155,000 cars of this model have been sold in Brazil, according to Brazil's National Federation of Motor Vehicles Distribution. At least 14,369 were sold in Argentina between 2008 and 2009. Altogether, including the latest Ford announcement, recalls have affected nearly 700,000 Brazilian-made motor vehicles so far in 2010, with problems ranging from faulty ball bearings to bad window switches. Significant product recalls indicates decline in product quality which could negatively affect the consumer confidence in Ford’s products and could strain its sales. Scrutiny for pedal acceleration problems Ford Fusion, Ford Escape and Mercury Milan are under scrutiny of the US regulatory authorities for a possible pedal acceleration problem. In 2010, the US Safety regulators have initiated a preliminary investigation in the models manufactured under the brand Ford Fusion having gas pedals that can get trapped in floor mats during acceleration. So far the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the US has received three complaints about Ford Fusion models of accelerator pedals being trapped by unsecured 'all-weather' floormats in the current production model year of the Fusion. All three complaints have been verified which has led to investigation of 2,49,301 models of Ford Fusion in the country. Such scrutinies may lead to penalizations which could affect the operating results of the company. Poor cash flows

Ford Motor Company © Datamonitor

Page 24

Ford Motor Company
SWOT Analysis

In FY2009, Ford witnessed decline in its cash flows compared to 2008.The cash and cash equivalents decreased 2.8% to reach $21,441 million in FY2009 compared to $22,048 million in 2008. Poor cash position implies ineffective cost management and poor decision making by Ford's management. A continuation of this trend could reduce availability of resources for the company to pursue growth plans.

Opportunities

Growing Asia Pacific new cars market The Asia-Pacific new cars market witnessed a strong growth in recent years and the trend is likely to continue in the future. The Asia-Pacific new cars market generated total revenues of $285.5 billion in 2009, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8% for the period spanning 2005-09. In comparison, the Chinese and Indian markets grew with CAGRs of 17.3% and 8.9% respectively, over the same period, to reach respective values of $98.7 billion and $25.9 billion in 2009. The performance of the market is forecast to accelerate, with an anticipated CAGR of 5.3% for the five-year period 2009-2014, which is expected to drive the market to a value of $368.9 billion by the end of 2014. Comparatively, the Chinese and Indian markets would grow with CAGRs of 12% and 10% respectively, over the same period, to reach respective values of $177.6 billion and $41.6 billion in 2014. China and India are the key emerging markets that would continue to drive economic growth in the Asia Pacific region. In FY2009, Ford’s combined car and truck share in Chinese and Indian market (including sales of Ford-brand vehicles, and market share for certain unconsolidated affiliates particularly in China) was 1.9% and 1.3%, respectively. In line with these trends, Ford is strategically investing to improve its manufacturing capacity in Asia Pacific. At the company’s joint venture assembly facility in Rayong, Thailand, Ford invested $500 million in an expansion for the production of small passenger cars. In India, Ford invested $500 million to significantly increase its presence through expansion of its current manufacturing facility in Chennai to begin production of its new Ford Figo, and construction of a fully-integrated and flexible engine manufacturing plant. Further in September 2009, Ford also broke ground on a new plant in Chongqing, China to meet anticipated demand and grow Ford-brand market share. Therefore, the company is well positioned to capitalize on the growing Asia Pacific new cars markets. Increasing demand for hybrid electric vehicles Worldwide demand for light hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) is expected to increase. By 2015, it is expected that the US will be the largest market for HEVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), selling approximately 640,000 vehicles in small car and small SUV segments combined. China is expected to be the second-largest market with more than 560,000 hybrid vehicles sold in 2015. By that time, there will be an estimated total of 1.7 million PHEVs on the world’s roadways. Global

SWOT Analysis

problems that include the environmental challenges of global warming and the need to conserve resources and energy are the key drivers for the company's to develop HEVs. In order to meet the demand Ford is continuously focused on developing new high technology products for hybrid electric vehicles. The company is introducing EcoBoost engines, six-speed transmissions and other fuel saving technologies across a wide range of vehicles. In 2009, Ford plans to double its hybrid models and volumes in the US. In 2009, the company also announced an aggressive electric vehicle strategy that would bring at least four new electric vehicles to market in the US within the next three years. Furthermore, in March 2010, Lincoln, Ford’s brand introduced its first hybrid, the new 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid in the US. Later in the year, the Ford Transit Connect Electric, a small, all-electric commercial van would be introduced to the market, aimed at commercial vehicle owners. In 2011, Ford is expected to begin the production of a zero-emission Ford Focus Electric vehicle at its Michigan Assembly Plant. At the same facility, the company would produce the next-generation hybrid vehicle and plug-in hybrid, in 2012. Electric vehicle projects also are underway in Germany and the UK. A positive outlook for light hybrid electric vehicles market would boost demand for Ford's products. Strategic investments Ford is planning to invest aggressively to enhance its production facilities. In this context, in March 2010, the company decided to invest $135 million to design, engineer and produce key components for the company’s next-generation hybrid-electric vehicles. Ford engineers in Dearborn would design the battery packs while engineers in Livonia would design electric-drive transaxles for the next-generation hybrids, based on Ford’s global C- and CD-car platforms, which go into production in North America in 2012. Ford’s Rawsonville Plant in Ypsilanti, Michigan, would assemble the battery packs beginning in 2012, moving work to Michigan that is currently performed in Mexico by a supplier. Ford’s Van Dyke Transmission Plant in Sterling Heights, Michigan, would build the electric drive transaxles beginning in 2012 from a supplier facility in Japan. Similarly, in February 2010, Ford decided to invest $155 million at its Cleveland operations to build a new fuel-efficient V-6 engine for the 2011 Mustang. The investment at Ford's Cleveland Engine Plant brings the company's investment in powertrain engineering and facility upgrades in North America to $1.8 billion to support its 2011 vehicle launches. Further in March 2009, Ford decided to invest $550 million to transform its Michigan Assembly Plant into a lean, green and flexible manufacturing complex that would build Ford’s next-generation Focus global small car along with a new battery-electric version of the Focus for the North American market. The plant, formerly the production site for Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigators SUVs, is one of three North American light truck plants Ford is retooling to build fuel-efficient global small cars in the coming years. The new Focus would begin rolling off the line in 2010 and the battery-electric version of the Focus, Ford’s first all-electric passenger car would debut in 2011.

Such strategic investments would enhance the production facilities of Ford and helps it to manufacture more efficient products to its customers.

Threats

Intense price competition The global automotive industry is intensely competitive, with manufacturing capacity far exceeding current demand. According to CSM Worldwide's January 2010 report, the global automotive industry is estimated to have had excess capacity of 29 million units in 2009. Industry overcapacity has resulted in many manufacturers offering marketing incentives on vehicles in an attempt to maintain and grow market share; these incentives historically have included a combination of subsidized financing or leasing programs, price rebates, and other incentives. As a result, Ford is not necessarily able to set its prices to offset higher costs of marketing incentives or other cost increases, or the impact of adverse currency fluctuations in either the US or European markets. While Ford and its domestic competitors have initiated plans to reduce capacity significantly, successful reductions may require further cooperation of organized labor, take several years to complete, or only partially address the industry's overcapacity problems, particularly in light of recent, dramatic decreases in industry sales volume. A continuation or increase in excess capacity could have a substantial adverse effect on Ford’s financial condition and results of operations. Stringent regulations The worldwide automotive industry is governed by a substantial amount of governmental regulation, which often differs by state, region, and country. Governmental regulation has arisen, and proposals for additional regulation are advanced, primarily out of concern for the environment (including concerns about the possibility of global climate change and its impact), vehicle safety, and energy independence. In addition, many governments regulate local product content and/or impose import requirements as a means of creating jobs, protecting domestic producers, and influencing their balance of payments. In recent years, Ford has made significant changes to its product cycle plan to improve the overall fuel economy of vehicles the company produce, thereby reducing their GHG emissions. The cost to comply with existing governmental regulations is substantial, and future, additional regulations (already enacted, adopted or proposed) could have a substantial adverse impact on Ford’s financial condition and results of operations. Supplier distress Automotive industry is highly interdependent, with broad overlap of supplier and dealer networks among manufacturers. The interdependency is such that any uncontrolled bankruptcy or insolvency

SWOT Analysis

of a major competitor or major suppliers could threaten supplier or dealer network and thus could pose a threat to Ford as well. Even in the absence of such an event, the company’s supply base has experienced increased economic distress due to the sudden and substantial drop in industry sales volumes that has affected all manufacturers. Dramatically lower industry sales volume made existing debt obligations and fixed cost levels difficult for many suppliers to manage. These factors have increased pressure on the supply base. As a result, suppliers not only have been less willing to reduce prices, but some have requested direct or indirect price increases, as well as new and shorter payment terms. Suppliers also are exiting certain lines of business or closing facilities, which results in additional costs associated with transitioning to new suppliers. This may cause supply disruptions to Ford’s production during any such transitional period. In addition, Ford has taken and may continue to take actions to provide financial assistance to certain suppliers to ensure an uninterrupted supply of materials and components. Such actions could increase the company’s operating costs and affect its liquidity which may lead to low profit margins.

COMPANY VIEW
A statement by Alan R. Mulally, President and Chief Executive Officer at Ford Motor Company is given below. The statement has been taken from the company’s annual report for FY2009. Ford Motor Company emerged from the challenging business environment of 2009 with the strongest proof yet that our ONE Ford plan is working. We reported full year 2009 net income of $2.7 billion, which was the company’s first full year of positive net income since 2005 and a $17.5 billion improvement over the previous year. We achieved a pre-tax operating profit, excluding special items, of $472 million in 2009, which was a $7.3 billion improvement over 2008. We still face significant challenges, but by following the ONE Ford plan we put in place three and a half years ago we are forging a path toward profitable growth. Our plan remains unchanged: • Aggressively restructure to operate profitably at the current lower demand and the changing model mix. • Accelerate the development of high-quality, fuel-efficient, safe new products that customers want and value. • Finance our plan and improve our balance sheet. • Work together as one team, leveraging our global assets. ONE Ford helped us achieve profitability and grow our business despite a global recession. In every part of the world we are providing customers with great products, building a stronger business and contributing to a better world. Great Products In 2007 we created a single global product development organization to maximize economies of scale and share best practices and ideas. That allows us to fully leverage our resources so that we can offer a full range of vehicles with the best quality, fuel-efficiency, safety, smart design and value. Taking full advantage of our global scale and talent to build products customers want and value is already paying off for us in markets around the world. And within the next four years, all Ford vehicles competing in global product segments will be common in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific Africa. In 2009 our strong products drove full year market share gains in North America, Europe and South America while maintaining share in the rapidly growing Asia Pacific Africa region.

In the U.S., Ford F-Series was the best-selling truck for the 33rd year in a row in 2009. In the utilities segment, the Ford brand was the top-selling brand of crossovers in the U.S., led by the Ford Escape. Every consumer metric about the Ford brand – including favorable opinion, consideration, shopping and intention to buy – ended the year at record levels. Full-year total market share was 15.3 percent, more than one point higher than 2008, marking the company’s first full-year U.S. market share increase since 1995. In Canada, Ford was the best-selling brand in 2009, and the Ford F-Series was the best-selling truck for the 44th year in a row. Led by the Fiesta, Focus and Ka, Ford strengthened its position as Europe’s second highest-selling brand in 2009. Ford Europe’s market share of 9.1 percent was a half point increase for the year and set an 11-year high. In South America, Ford Brazil achieved its best ever full-year sales in 2009 by selling 325,000 vehicles, a 15 percent increase over the previous year. Ford Asia Pacific Africa’s sales were up 14 percent in 2009, and set a full-year record. Ford sales in China, up 45 percent, led the increase in the region. More great products are on the way this year, including the new Ford Fiesta in the U.S., freshened versions of the Ford S-MAX and Galaxy in Europe, and the new Ford Figo in India. Strong Business Ford has completed major cost reduction actions over the past four years to substantially restructure its business, including personnel levels, facilities and related costs, and the settlement of the United Auto Workers retiree health care Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) agreement. We also obtained capital and liquidity ahead of the financial market crisis, which helped us maintain our investments in new products during a difficult economic period. In 2009, we achieved $5.1 billion in Automotive structural cost reductions, exceeding our target of $4 billion. For the full year, Automotive operating-related cash flow was negative $300 million; an improvement of $19.2 billion over 2008. We finished the year with $25.5 billion in Automotive gross cash, which was up from $23.8 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2009. Ford Motor Credit Company reported net income of $1.3 billion in 2009, an improvement of $2.8 billion from a net loss of $1.5 billion a year earlier. Contributing to this improvement was the non-recurrence of an impairment charge for operating leases and lower depreciation expense for leased vehicles due to higher resale values. Our intense focus on improving our cost structure and strengthening our balance sheet will continue going forward. Among other actions, we anticipate completing the sale of Volvo Cars to Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co. Ltd. in the second quarter of 2010. Better World

Great companies are driven by purpose as well as profit. Ford has a proud heritage of improving people’s lives and making their world a better place. We want to build on this heritage by being a good neighbor locally and a trusted corporate citizen globally, operating responsibly and sustainably wherever we do business. A central element of our efforts is providing affordable fuel economy for millions of customers, not just expensive, low-volume niche vehicles. To do that we have introduced innovative fuel-saving technologies across a wide range of vehicles. We now have more fuel-saving six-speed transmissions on the road than any other manufacturer. We are also the leading U.S.- based producer of hybrid-electric vehicles, with record sales that were up 72 percent in 2009. The EcoBoost engine technology we introduced last year delivers up to 20 percent better fuel economy and will be offered on a wide range of vehicles with projected production reaching half a million annually in North America within 5 years. In that same time period, we will introduce a series of four new electric, next-generation hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles that use advanced lithium ion batteries. In 2009, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report showed that Ford Motor Company improved its combined car and truck fuel economy by nearly 20 percent during the 5-year period 2004-2009, almost double the improvement of the next closest competitor. Giving back to the community also is an important part of our efforts to help build a better world. Ford Motor Company Fund and Community Services, our philanthropic organization, celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2009. Our Ford Volunteer Corps, which was established in 2005, encourages salaried employees to take two work days per year to serve as volunteers. Last year 16,000 Ford employees and retirees volunteered more than 77,000 hours to help people in their local communities. Looking Forward We are more convinced than ever that Ford has the right plan to lead us through near-term economic pressures and continue to deliver profitable growth. We expect to be profitable for the full year in 2010 on a pre-tax basis, excluding special items. That includes full year profitability for our Ford North America and total Automotive operations, with positive Automotive operating-related cash flow. The entire extended Ford team is absolutely committed to building on our progress and working together as a lean global enterprise focused on delivering great products. By doing that, we will create an exciting and viable company with profitable growth for all. As always, we thank you for your support of our efforts.
