DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co. on Tuesday reported that it swung to a net loss in the fourth quarter due to a large accounting charge on pension plans and the effects of a six-week strike at multiple factories by the United Auto Workers union.
The Dearborn, Michigan, automaker posted a $523 million loss from October through December versus a $1.26 billion profit for the same period a year ago.
Excluding one time items, the company made 29 cents per share, beating Wall Street estimates of 12 cents, according FactSet. Revenue for the period was $46 billion, up 4% from a year ago, beating estimates of $43 billion.
Ford reported a $1.7 billion noncash accounting loss during the quarter on remeasurement of pension and other post-retirement employee benefits.
