Ford Posts $12.7 Billion Loss in 2006, the Largest Annual Loss in Automaker's 103-Year History
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) -- Ford Motor Co. lost $5.8 billion in the fourth quarter amid slumping sales and huge restructuring costs, pushing the fabled automaker's deficit for the year to $12.7 billion, the largest in its 103-year history.
The annual loss reported Thursday surpassed its previous record for a year of $7.39 billion set in 1992. It earned $1.44 billion in 2005.
The Dearborn-based company expects continued losses for this year. It expects to burn up $10 billion in cash on automotive operations through 2009 and spend another $7 billion to invest in new products.
Excluding special items, Ford lost $1.50 per share in all of 2006, worse than Wall Street predicted. Fourteen analysts polled by Thomson Financial expected a loss of $1.35 per share for the year, excluding special items.
Ford said that special items associated with restructuring costs totaled $9.9 billion for the year as the company continues efforts to shrink itself to match reduced demand for its cars and trucks.

Best Buy to Build Stores in China Following the Opening of Its Shanghai Flagship Outlet
SHANGHAI, China (AP) -- U.S. electronics chain Best Buy Co. plans to open one or two more new stores in China over the next year or so following the opening of its Shanghai flagship outlet, company executives said Thursday.
The expansion is part of a broader strategy of making Best Buy Co., the No. 1 American electronics chain, a "global retailer," said Allen U. Lenzmeier, vice chairman of the company.
Although China is at the top of the list, Best Buy is also looking at other markets, Lenzmeier said, declining to say which countries might be considered.
The electronics giant opened its first China store in Shanghai's busy Xujiahui shopping district a month ago and plans a formal grand opening ceremony Friday. At 80,000 square feet the four-story outlet is Best Buy's biggest and most expensive so far, and its first outside North America.
Based on the first month of sales, the outlet is destined to rank among Best Buy's top 10 within the year, Lenzmeier said, while refusing to provide any dollar figures for sales or profit.
"Performance has exceeded our expectations very, very significantly," Lenzmeier said.
Best Buy said it is planning to open one or two other new outlets in leading Chinese cities by mid-2008, with local partner Jiangsu Five Star Appliance Co., China's 14th biggest appliance retailer, opening 20 to 25 of its own stores.
Best Buy acquired a majority stake in Five Star for $180 million last year but is not now actively seeking any other acquisitions, said Robert A. Willett, chief executive officer of Best Buy International.
Best Buy is one of many foreign retailers taking advantage of the easing of restrictions on foreign competition to try to woo consumers in the world's biggest potential market.
The retailer appears likely to first look to fast-growing markets in the developing world, like China, before setting its sights on more mature markets, such as Japan.
"In the short term, we have other priorities," Willett said.
Japan is "sort of way out there on our list," he added. "It's a very, very tough market, and we need to learn before we tackle very tough markets."

Anyone ever heard of MBSB?
GM SA and gang.
I think I should take that as an insult since I'm sure he made the FIC comment towards me.
SAOL, this week or next?
Steve told me the packet wasn't "declined" as much as it was "kicked back". He further stated that there are different levels of mining from somebody with a pan and a shovel to full blown heavy equipment. Since Drake was at the higher spectrum of mining their paperwork was missing documents.
Of course this is how I understood it and I didn't take notes. I will add that I left a message for him and it took a few hours to receive a return call. Nothing at all like I was led to believe earlier today.
Short FORD anyone?
DETROIT - Ford Motor Co. could post the worst annual loss in its storied 103-year history when the automaker releases its 2006 earnings on Thursday.
The old record net loss was $7.39 billion in 1992, but through three quarters of this year, Ford already had lost $7 billion.
Fourteen analysts polled by Thomson Financial expect more red ink in the fourth quarter, predicting an average quarterly loss of $1.01 per share and $1.35 per share for the year, excluding special items.
"The fourth quarter's going to look real ugly," said Erich Merkle, director of forecasting for the auto consulting company IRN Inc. in Grand Rapids, Mich. He predicted Ford would get as much bad news out of the way as it can for the end of 2006, beating the 1992 record.
"Let's just air all our dirty laundry all at once. Take the medicine and then we can move on. I definitely think that's their philosophy, knowing it's going to be real poor," Merkle said.
Burnham Securities analyst David Healy said in a note to investors that Ford has yet to recover from its finances being wrecked by collapsing sales of its F-series pickup trucks and truck-based sport utility vehicles.
The company made a profit of $1.44 billion in 2005, and in the fourth quarter of that year, it produced and shipped 355,000 of the high-profit large and mid-sized truck models, Healy said. That dropped by 40 percent to 213,000 in the final quarter of last year, he said.
"In our view, most of the year-to-year increase in losses lies in the 142,000 year-to-year decline in these high-profit models," Healy said.
Production of other Ford models dropped by 53,000 in the fourth quarter of last year compared to the last quarter of 2005, driven by dealer stock reductions and the company's strategy to reduce traditional low-profit sales to rental car companies, Healy said.
Efraim Levy, senior industry analyst for Standard & Poor's, predicted Ford would post a $2 billion net loss for the last quarter of 2006.
Like other analysts, he sees bottom-line improvement in 2007 even though he predicts revenues will drop by 7 percent compared to 2006. He still sees a loss for this year, but said the improvement will come as Ford becomes more efficient and cuts costs by slicing its blue- and white-collar work forces.
About 38,000 hourly workers have signed up for buyout or early retirement offers from the company, and Ford plans to cut its white-collar work force by 14,000 with buyouts and early retirements.
The company has mortgaged its assets to borrow up to $23.4 billion to fund a massive restructuring plan and cover billions in losses expected until 2009. It expects to burn up $17 billion in cash during the next two years before returning to profitability.
Ford's revenue will continue to suffer in 2007 from intense competition, an expected lower overall auto market and weakness in Ford's financial services business, Levy said.
Ford has rolled out or will introduce several new or updated products during 2007, including the Edge crossover, new F-series Super Duty pickups, a redesigned Focus small car and an updated Five Hundred larger sedan.
But Levy said the company's new vehicles won't be strong enough for it to recover much this year.
"The new products aren't that exciting overall," he said.
Ford's sales last year were 8 percent below 2005 figures at about 2.9 million vehicles. Ford attributed the decline to a drop in truck and sport utility vehicle sales and the end of production for the Taurus sedan, which largely was sold to fleet buyers last year.
Ford is the first of the Detroit-area automakers to release its earnings for the year. General Motors Corp., which lost more than $3 billion in the first nine months of last year, will release its fourth-quarter and annual earnings on Tuesday.
DaimlerChrysler AG, which lost $1.5 billion in the third quarter, is to release its earnings on Feb. 14.
I know, I know, everytime he tells me about something I look at the chart and ask what he sees. Right about then it starts to move and I pay for hesitating.
Zero, that is one thing I will agree with you on. Once this moves up it is hard to get filled on bid.
I am glad your post was un-deleted. Information good or bad shouldn't be removed.
If anyone has concerns call Steve. He said he has no problems with phone calls.
Steve Allen called me back this afternoon. He was actually a real nice guy. He told me that he is fully aware of Drake and that he rejected the paperwork on December 19th, 2006; however, he said that it wasn't rejected as a NO but that it wasn't complete and that it needed more information.
For the record, I am still holding.
Wasn't me
They will talk to you but not me? What are you trying to say here?
LOL, guess I was punked huh? Funny people.
I have spoke with Clayton, and I will eventually talk to someone at the BLM so I can make my own mind up about my money.
Who cares if I flip. Is there a law against it? I have held a core position since AMVS.
Thanks Zero. I have a call in as well.
Well they can be mad then. Shoot myself in the foot? Over what?
