For the first quarter, Ford reported:

• Ford Pro generated $1.3 billion in EBIT with a margin of 8.6% on $15.2 billion in revenue.
• Ford Model e reported a first-quarter EBIT loss of $849 million.
• Ford Blue reported $96 million in EBIT, down from a year ago due to expected volume decline and adverse exchange. Segment revenue declined 3% to $21 billion.
• Ford Credit reported first-quarter earnings before taxes (EBT) of $580 million, up significantly compared to a year ago.

“We are strengthening our underlying business with significantly better quality and our third straight quarter of year-over-year cost improvement, excluding the impact of tariffs," said Ford CEO Jim Farley.

"Ford Pro, our largest competitive advantage, is off to a strong start to the year, gaining market share in the most profitable U.S. and European customer segment,” Farley added.

Outlook: Ford suspended its financial guidance, including full-year adjusted EBIT and adjusted free cash flow, due to tariff-related uncertainty.

F Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, Ford Motor stock was down 2.46% after hours at $9.92 on Monday.
