Now it expects to report revenue of about $34bn, a net loss of about $2bn, and adjusted EBIT of about $0.6bn, which excludes pre-tax special item charges of about $0.3 billion, interest expense on debt (excluding Ford Credit debt) of about $0.2bn, and tax expense (including a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets) of about $0.8bn.
