Recent Developments

 

Ford Credit reported net income of $1.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.5 billion from a year ago, and net income of $3 billion for full year 2017, an increase of $1.6 billion from a year ago. On a pre-tax basis, Ford Credit earned $610 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, up $212 million or 53% from a year ago, and $2.3 billion for full year 2017, an increase of $431 million or 23% from a year ago. The increase in pre-tax profit for the fourth quarter of 2017 was led primarily by strong receivables growth, financing margin, and lease residual performance. The increase in pre-tax profit for full year 2017 was led by favorable volume and mix, lease residual improvement, and financing margin.

 

The fourth quarter and full year 2017 results described above are preliminary, unaudited, and subject to completion. This preliminary financial data has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, Ford Credit’s management. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the preliminary financial data. Accordingly, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

 

MIFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market

 

Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer’s product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Euro Medium-Term Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Euro Medium-Term Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Euro Medium-Term Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Euro Medium-Term Notes (a “distributor”) should take into consideration the manufacturers’ target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Euro

 



 

Medium-Term Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers’ target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

 

 

Settlement

 

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about February 7, 2018, which will be the fourth business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (such settlement cycle being referred to herein as “T+4”). Under Rule 15c6-1 pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding business day will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+4, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade those Notes on the date of pricing should consult their own advisor.
