Ford Motor's manufacturing operations in Romania are delivering robust revenue growth, yet the subsidiary's profitability is being significantly eroded by currency devaluation, according to a report from Profit.ro.
The Romanian outlet highlighted that while the Craiova plant remains a vital contributor to the automaker's global results, the financial impact of the Turkish lira's depreciation is creating a substantial drag on the bottom line.
The report comes as Ford Motor has recently upgraded its full-year earnings guidance for the second time in 2026, projecting adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of US$10 billion to US$11 billion.
This dynamic underscores the complex currency risks facing multinational automakers with integrated supply chains across Europe and Turkey.
Ford's European operations, anchored by the Craiova facility, are generating strong top-line figures, but the translation of these results into consolidated earnings is complicated by the volatility in emerging market currencies, particularly the lira.

The Detroit automaker has attributed this improved outlook to strong performance in key markets, including Europe, where the Craiova plant plays a central role in production and export.
