In addition to these fine global sales of 11.7%, the group from Dearborn also profit (before taxes) of 8.57 billion USD (€ 6,28 billion). Five years ago, with the toes to the abyss, and now all the male. It can happen.
The golobale verkoopverdeling is as follows: slightly less than half of all sales Ford Motoring Company (FoMoCo) on private land, in North America. Almost a quarter of the total was realized in Europe, the same applies for Asia and the Pacific Oceaanregio. The rest, about 8% of the total, is for South America.
When the appropriation is, however, less gelijkop: if we have the financial branch ($ 1,76 billion profit) does not include up to $ 6,89 billion profit, purely from sales. North America raised $8.8 billion, Asia $400 million, South America played about even, and Ford of Europe suffered a loss of $1,61 billion.
For what it’s worth, that is less than the $1.75 billion from 2012, and also has Ford this year by the closure of o.a. Genk with additional costs. Ford of Europe is expected in 2015 ‘on the road to profitability.”
Anyway, below the line, there remains a nice profit, and we can therefore confirm that the ceo and notoriously dingenkusser Alan Mulally, who in any case until the end of 2014 remains attached to the group, his giant megasalaris more than worth it.
Employees are also not onbemiddeld behind, albeit only in the US. The people in service there could be a fat bonus of $8.800 face. Quite a contrast with their Belgian former colleagues who are without work.
Ford in top 3 biggest brands in the world
When we the umbrella step-by-step apart, and focus (haha) on the single brands, Ford only Toyota (almost 9 million sales), for;. Exact figures of the second brand Lincoln we have not, but these are negligible.
Ford is on almost equal height with Volkswagen (5,93 million), and is chased by Chevrolet (4,98 million sales), Hyundai, and Nissan (both of which were estimated to also be around the 5 million sales).
