Ford Motor (NYSE:F) fell about 3% in early Tuesday trading after the automaker withdrew its full-year outlook and cautioned investors about a potential $1.5 billion hit from tariffs.
Revenue for the first quarter declined 5% year over year to $40.7 billion, hurt by lower wholesale volumes tied to temporary plant shutdowns for product launches and inventory adjustments. Adjusted EBIT dropped to $1 billion from $2.8 billion in the same period last year.
The Ford Pro division posted $1.3 billion in EBIT on $15.2 billion in revenue, with margins at 8.6%. However, EBIT fell from last year due to a 14% drop in wholesale volume and weaker fleet pricing. The segment ended the quarter with 675,000 paid subscriptions, up 4% from Q4.
Ford Blue earned $96 million in EBIT, down on volume and currency pressures. Model e, its EV unit, reported an $849 million EBIT loss as it focused on margin improvement and disciplined investment in batteries and next-gen products.
Cash flow from operations was $3.7 billion, while adjusted free cash flow was negative $1.5 billion. The company ended Q1 with $27 billion in cash and $45 billion in total liquidity, according to a Monday press release.
