Ford Revisited

After my recent Ford article in which I said I thought Ford was a sell, we heard from the company and they wanted to talk through my analysis. I spent an hour on the phone with four Ford executives this week talking about their automotive business, their credit business and the prospects for the company. We covered some important investor concepts on the call and I want to provide some deeper analysis on Ford here today. To begin with, they made some good points, which I think cleared some stuff up and helped with a deeper analysis here. But I still think the stock is a sell. The single biggest reason I issued a sell on Ford’s stock in that column was out of concern about the company’s debt load. Ford’s people explained to me that Ford Credit and Ford Automotive are two separate companies, although Ford Credit is wholly owned by Ford Automotive. Their own words explain it: Ford and Ford Credit are operated as separate businesses. As a consequence, Ford’s cash and automotive debt are managed independently of Ford Credit’s cash and debt. The level of debt for a financial service company is dependent on the size of its business. As of Sept. 30, 2009, Ford Credit had $103 billion in debt. Ford Credit’s debt supports the financing it provides to customers and dealers to buy cars and trucks. Supporting that debt is $23 billion of cash and a portfolio of $93 billion of high quality receivables resulting from its prudent lending practices. Ford Motor Company’s Automotive debt at the end of the third quarter was $26.9 billion, as presented on slide 24 of the earnings presentation. The $103 billion that I cited in my column last week was Ford Credit debt, not Ford Automotive as I had said. To clarify, I’ve seen Ford’s debt reported anywhere between $26 and $130 billion, and on Finance Yahoo, the numbers, which come from Ford’s own filings, were consolidated – so...
