2.	The “Peer Group” referenced in this column is the Dow Jones Automobiles & Parts Titans 30 Index. This is the same index used to prepare the Company’s “Stock Performance Graph” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Company adjusted EBIT Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure most comparable to U.S. GAAP’s “Company Net Income/(Loss) Margin.” Company adjusted EBIT Margin is Company adjusted EBIT divided by Company revenue. In turn, Company adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure most comparable to U.S. GAAP’s “Net Income/(Loss). Company adjusted EBIT excludes interest on debt (excluding Ford Credit Debt), taxes, and pre-tax special items. Our management excludes special items from its review of the results of the operating segments for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources. Our categories of pre-tax special items and the applicable significance guideline for each item (which may consist of a group of items related to a single event or action) are as follows:

Pre-Tax Special Item		Significance Guideline
•	Pension and OPEB remeasurement gains and losses	•	No minimum
•	Personnel expenses, supplier- and dealer-related costs, and facility-related charges stemming from our efforts to match production capacity and cost structure to market demand and changing model mix	•	Generally $100 million or more
•	Other items that we do not necessarily consider to be indicative of earnings from ongoing operating activities	•	$500 million or more for individual field service actions; generally $100 million or more for other items

Company adjusted EBIT Margin is useful to management and investors because it allows users to evaluate our operating results aligned with industry reporting. Company adjusted EBIT is useful to management and investors because it focuses on underlying operating results and trends, and improves comparability of our period-over-period results. Please refer to Appendix III to this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of Company Net Income/(Loss) Margin to Company adjusted EBIT Margin and the underlying reconciliation of Net Income/(Loss) to Company adjusted EBIT.

As noted above, the values reported in these columns represent CAP, calculated in accordance with SEC rules. The values do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our Named Executives during the applicable year. Numbers in the above table and the tables below may not sum due to rounding. To calculate CAP in accordance with SEC rules, the amounts shown in the tables below were added to, or deducted from, the applicable SCT Totals. For additional information on how the CAP values for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 were calculated, please see Footnote 4 to the Pay versus Performance Table beginning on page 81 of our Proxy Statement for Ford’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held May 8, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025, Footnote 4 to the Pay versus Performance Table beginning on page 78 of our Proxy Statement for Ford’s

Award Timing Disclosure	12 Months Ended
Award Timing Disclosure	Dec. 31, 2025
Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items]
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure	TIMING OF EQUITY AWARDS Annual grants of equity awards are typically determined at the January and/or February Committee meetings with an effective grant date in March to allow enough time for preparation of notification materials. At that time, data for previous performance periods is available to determine the final award size. The Committee also decides the effective date of the final awards, and the annual equity-based grants of RSUs, PSUs, and stock options (which have not been granted since 2020), if any. This timing allows for the grants to be effective after the release of earnings information for the prior fiscal year when the public is aware of the information and the information is reflected in the stock price used to value the awards. Under the terms of the LTIP, the exercise price of options, if any, will be the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. If a stock option grant date occurs during a trading blackout period, the stock option grant will be effective the day after the blackout period expires. No options were granted in 2025. The Committee does not time equity grant dates to affect the value of compensation either positively or negatively. Executive officers do not play a role in the selection of grant dates. Special grants, whether approved by the Committee for executives or pursuant to authority delegated by the Committee for grants to employees other than executives, are effective either on a specified future date (e.g., a date that coincides with a promotion or hiring date or a quarterly grant date) or on the date of approval. In the case of an approval by written consent, the grant date cannot be earlier than the date when the Committee member approvals have been obtained. From time to time, special circumstances may cause the Committee to grant annual equity awards outside of the annual March timeline. In such circumstances, the Committee continues to adhere to its practices of not timing equity grants to take advantage of material non-public information or affect the value of compensation either positively or negatively.
