This includes a $0.5 billion loss on U.S. pension plans, a $0.9 billion loss on non-U.S. pension plans, and a $0.3 billion loss on OPEB plans globally.
The company said the remeasurement loss was largely driven by lower discount rates compared with year-end 2022, partially offset by asset gains above its assumptions. It said the remeasurement is expected to reduce its net income by about $1.3 billion on an after-tax basis, as it will record a net tax benefit based on the tax rates in jurisdictions with remeasurement gains and losses.
Ford said the remeasurement gains and losses are a special item and therefore will not affect its total company adjusted EBIT or adjusted earnings per share. It also said the remeasurement had no impact on its cash in 2023 and does not change its pension contribution expectations for 2024, and that its funded plans remain fully funded in the aggregate.
Ford expects the underfunded status of its pension and OPEB plans to be about $2.3 billion and $4.7 billion, respectively, at year-end 2023, compared with $0.2 billion and $4.5 billion at year-end 2022. The company said the change mainly reflects the impact of the remeasurement loss.
