Ford Motor Company is on the road to sustainable profitability, but CFO Lewis Booth says many challenges lie ahead and stresses continued focus.

Q: Where is Ford Motor Company at the moment on the path to sustainable profitability?
A: We have just started on that path – and there are two reasons why we are on it. In 2006 we borrowed $23.5 billion. That gave us the cash cushion to ride through the very difficult times of 2008 and 2009. In 2008 alone we went through $19.5 billion in operating cash. If we had not raised the cash in 2006 we would have been in a similar position to GM and Chrysler. The second reason is that over the past several years we have been working really hard on great products. You can't cost reduce yourself to prosperity in this business; to be sustainably profitable you have to have competitive products and generate competitive revenues and profits. We've also had a lot of work to do to improve the cost base of the whole Ford business worldwide. We now create product around the world – Ford North America, Ford South America, Ford of Europe and Ford Asia Pacific Africa.

Looking ahead, as long as the economy starts to grow, we feel confident that we will meet our guidance of profitability and a positive operating cash flow this year and be solidly in the black in 2011 with, again, positive operating cash flow. But there is no room for complacency. We have proved we are great in a crisis; the whole company works together. What we have to demonstrate is that we will continue to implement the plan and stay focused as the business improves.

Q: Is the fact that Ford did not need a U.S. bailout continuing to benefit the company?
A: Yes, for several reasons. The most important reason, and this is particularly true in the U.S., is that customers feel very strongly that we are a different company because we didn't take government money compared with our domestic competitors. However, we should recognise that competing with U.S. domestic competitors is only a small part of our business; we are really competing with worldwide competition. So, whether you took U.S. government money or not is interesting, but it is primarily just a U.S. domestic discussion. We've got to go after the Toyotas and Volkswagens of this world.

Q: Is ONE Ford the key differentiator for Ford?
A: ONE Ford is a very simple philosophy of driving the business, recognizing the present reality and not putting off the difficult decisions. It's about having great products that customers want and value, financing our plan and working together. That is the differentiator. We would not have so many great products in Europe if we were not sharing them around the world, because the only way to stay competitive is by sharing.

As part of his first visit to the region as Ford’s CEO, Mulally explained to the Brazilian media the importance of Ford Brazil and South America to the global auto industry.

"Our ONE Ford plan has helped us restructure our global operations, better use our global assets and will put us on track to deliver profitable growth for all of the partners tied to our business – employees, unions, dealers, suppliers and investors," Mulally said. "Most importantly, our plan allows Ford to accelerate the development of products that customers really want – vehicles that deliver best-in-class safety, quality, fuel-efficiency, smart design and value."
