Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Ford
Motor Company ("Ford") hereby incorporates
by reference its news release dated January 23, 2006, which is herewith
furnished as Exhibit 99.
Ford
will conduct
two conference calls on January 23, 2006 to review financial results for
fourth-quarter and full-year 2005. Don Leclair, Ford's Executive Vice President
and Chief Financial Officer, will host a presentation for the investment
community and news media beginning at 9:30 a.m. to review financial results
for fourth-quarter and full-year 2005. Investors may access this presentation
by
dialing 800-706-7741 (or 1-617-614-3471 if dialing from outside the United
States). The passcode for either telephone number is a verbal response
of "Ford
Business Review." At 10:30 a.m., members of Ford's executive management
team will join the discussion to present the 2006 business review. We will
also
broadcast the question and answer session with members of the investment
community and news media following the business review.
Ford's
Vice
President and Treasurer, Ann Marie Petach, and Ford Motor Credit Company's
Vice
Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, David Cosper, will host a second
presentation for fixed income analysts and investors beginning at 2:00 p.m.
Investors may access this presentation using the same dial-in information
as
above, with the passcode a verbal response of "Ford Fixed Income Call."
At
the same time, a
listen-only webcast and supporting presentation materials for each call
will be
available on the Internet at www.shareholder.ford.com. Investors
may also access replays for one week following these presentations by visiting
www.shareholder.ford.com, or by dialing 888-286-8010 (or
1-617-801-6888 if dialing from outside the United States). The passcode
for
replays of the 9:30 a.m. presentation is 29481628; the passcode for replays
of
the 2:00 p.m. presentation is 55865600. All times referenced above are
listed 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 GAAP is pre-tax profits including special items. Ford
believes that pre-tax profits excluding special items is a useful measure
to
provide investors, because it excludes those items that Ford does 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.
