__________
(a)We do not recognize deferred taxes for a majority of the foreign currency translation gains and losses because we do not anticipate reversal in the foreseeable future. However, we have made elections to tax certain non-U.S. operations simultaneously in U.S. tax returns, and have recorded deferred taxes for temporary differences that will reverse, independent of repatriation plans, in U.S. tax returns. Taxes or tax benefits resulting from foreign currency translation of the temporary differences are recorded in Other comprehensive income/(loss), net of tax.
(b)Includes the reclassification of foreign currency translation net gains of $64 million and $65 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, to Other income/(loss), net related to the substantial liquidation of certain Ford Credit investments in Europe.
(c)Excludes a $2 million loss and a $2 million gain in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, and a $1 million gain and a $0 loss in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, related to a noncontrolling interest.
(d)Reclassified to Other income/(loss), net.
(e)Reclassified to Cost of sales. During the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify existing net losses on cash flow hedges of $238 million (see Note 13).
