RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS

In June 2021, we announced that our subsidiaries in Brazil and Argentina would cease originating receivables and wind down operations. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed the sale of our wholesale and dealer receivables portfolio in Brazil and ceased originations of wholesale and dealer receivables in Argentina. During the first nine months of 2022, we reclassified accumulated foreign currency translation losses of $155 million to Other income/(loss), net upon the liquidation of three of our investments in Brazil.

In December 2021, we received a capital contribution from a subsidiary of Ford in exchange for a minority interest share in one of our Argentina-based subsidiaries. As a result, we recorded $22 million in Shareholder’s interest attributable to noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter of 2022, we reacquired Ford’s minority interest share and, in exchange, transferred assets associated with an Argentina-based subsidiary to Ford. In addition, during the first quarter of 2022, we sold our shares in a second Argentina-based subsidiary to Ford. The difference between the carrying value of the net assets transferred and sold to Ford and the consideration received from Ford was $61 million, reported as a reduction to Shareholder’s interest. As a result of the transfer and sale, Ford Credit reclassified $75 million of accumulated foreign currency translation losses to net income, included in Other income/(loss), net.

Accumulated foreign currency translation losses associated with our remaining investments in Brazil and Argentina included in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) at September 30, 2022 were $223 million. We expect to reclassify these losses to income upon substantially complete liquidation of our investments, which may occur over multiple reporting periods. Although the timing for the completion of these actions is uncertain, we expect the majority of losses to be recognized in 2024 or later.
