Other Investments [Abstract] |
Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure | OTHER INVESTMENTS We have investments in entities not accounted for under the equity method for which fair values are not readily available. We record these investments at cost (less impairment, if any), adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. We report the carrying value of these investments in Other assets in the non-current assets section of our consolidated balance sheets. These investments were $1.7 billion and $0.9 billion at December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The decrease from December 31, 2020 primarily reflects the reclassification of our investment in Rivian from Other assets to Marketable securities following the Rivian IPO in November 2021. At the time of the IPO, Ford’s investment in Rivian’s preferred shares (including the observable event earlier in 2021 of $902 million) and investment in Rivian’s unsecured senior convertible notes converted to common shares, and we recorded an $8.2 billion unrealized gain during fourth quarter 2021, reported in Other income/(loss), net on our consolidated income statements. The cumulative net unrealized gain from adjustments related to Other Investments held on December 31, 2021 is $101 million.
