Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Presentation	PRESENTATIONPrinciples of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, and instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, these unaudited financial statements include all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial condition for interim periods for Ford Motor Credit Company LLC, its consolidated subsidiaries, and its consolidated VIEs in which Ford Motor Credit Company LLC is the primary beneficiary (collectively referred to herein as “Ford Credit,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for any other interim period or for the full year. Reference should be made to the financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K Report”). We are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Ford Motor Company (“Ford”). We reclassify certain prior period amounts in our consolidated financial statements to conform to current year presentation.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Policies	ACCOUNTING POLICIES Adoption of New Accounting Standards We adopted the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) during 2022, none of which had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures: ASU Effective Date 2021-05 Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments January 1, 2022 2021-08 Business Combinations: Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers January 1, 2022 2021-10 Government Assistance: Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance January 1, 2022 Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that eliminates the troubled debt recognition and measurement guidance. The new standard requires that an entity apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in ASC 310 to all loan modifications and/or receivable modifications. It also enhances disclosure requirements for certain refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and requires disclosure of current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination in the vintage disclosure. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. We are assessing the effect of the new standard on our financial statements and disclosures. The Company considers the applicability and impacts of all ASUs. All other ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures. Provision for Income Taxes For interim tax reporting, we estimate one single effective tax rate for subsidiaries that are subject to tax, which is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income/(loss). Tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.

Receivables [Abstract]
Financing Receivables	FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES We manage finance receivables as “consumer” and “non-consumer” portfolios. The receivables are generally secured by the vehicles, inventory, or other property being financed. Finance receivables are recorded at the time of origination or purchase at fair value and are subsequently reported at amortized cost, net of any allowance for credit losses. For all finance receivables, we define “past due” as any payment, including principal and interest, that is at least 31 days past the contractual due date. NOTE 4. FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) Total Finance Receivables, Net Total finance receivables, net were as follows (in millions): December 31, March 31, Consumer Retail installment contracts, gross $ 69,247 $ 67,796 Finance leases, gross 7,318 7,079 Retail financing, gross 76,565 74,875 Unearned interest supplements from Ford and affiliated companies (3,020) (2,796) Consumer finance receivables 73,545 72,079 Non-Consumer Dealer financing 18,197 20,170 Other financing 1,533 1,627 Non-Consumer finance receivables 19,730 21,797 Total recorded investment $ 93,275 $ 93,876 Recorded investment in finance receivables $ 93,275 $ 93,876 Allowance for credit losses (925) (845) Total finance receivables, net $ 92,350 $ 93,031 Net finance receivables subject to fair value (a) $ 85,347 $ 86,261 Fair value (b) 86,199 85,485 __________ (a) Net finance receivables subject to fair value exclude finance leases. (b) The fair value of finance receivables is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Finance leases are comprised of sales-type and direct financing leases. Financing revenue from finance leases for the first quarter of 2021 and 2022 was $90 million and $77 million, respectively, and is included in Retail financing on the consolidated income statements. At December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, accrued interest was $125 million and $122 million, respectively, which we report in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Included in the recorded investment in finance receivables were consumer and non-consumer receivables that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 for additional information. Credit Quality Consumer Portfolio. Credit quality ratings for consumer receivables are based on our aging analysis. Consumer receivables credit quality ratings are as follows: • Pass – current to 60 days past due; • Special Mention – 61 to 120 days past due and in intensified collection status; and • Substandard – greater than 120 days past due and for which the uncollectible portion of the receivables has already been charged off, as measured using the fair value of collateral less costs to sell.

The credit quality of dealer financing receivables is evaluated based on our internal dealer risk rating analysis. We use a proprietary model to assign each dealer a risk rating. This model uses historical dealer performance data to identify key factors about a dealer that we consider most significant in predicting a dealer’s ability to meet its financial obligations. We also consider numerous other financial and qualitative factors of the dealer’s operations, including capitalization and leverage, liquidity and cash flow, profitability, and credit history with ourselves and other creditors. Dealers are assigned to one of four groups according to risk ratings as follows: • Group I – strong to superior financial metrics; • Group II – fair to favorable financial metrics; • Group III – marginal to weak financial metrics; and • Group IV – poor financial metrics, including dealers classified as uncollectible. The credit quality analysis of dealer financing receivables at December 31, 2021 was as follows (in millions): Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Dealer Loans Prior to 2017 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total Wholesale Loans Total Percent Group I $ 391 $ 68 $ 151 $ 45 $ 109 $ 345 $ 1,109 $ 13,670 $ 14,779 81.2 % Group II 11 7 26 2 4 54 104 2,689 2,793 15.3 Group III 8 — 1 — 1 20 30 529 559 3.1 Group IV — — 4 — — 6 10 56 66 0.4 Total (a) $ 410 $ 75 $ 182 $ 47 $ 114 $ 425 $ 1,253 $ 16,944 $ 18,197 100.0 % __________ (a) Total past due dealer financing receivables at December 31, 2021 were $62 million.

FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) The credit quality analysis of dealer financing receivables at March 31, 2022 was as follows (in millions): Amortized Cost Basis by Origination Year Dealer Loans Prior to 2018 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Total Wholesale Loans Total Percent Group I $ 470 $ 155 $ 44 $ 78 $ 232 $ 111 $ 1,090 $ 15,628 $ 16,718 82.9 % Group II 12 26 1 5 13 42 99 2,845 2,944 14.6 Group III 8 — — — 5 11 24 423 447 2.2 Group IV — 5 — 1 2 2 10 51 61 0.3 Total (a) $ 490 $ 186 $ 45 $ 84 $ 252 $ 166 $ 1,223 $ 18,947 $ 20,170 100.0 % __________ (a) Total past due dealer financing receivables at March 31, 2022 were $13 million. Non-Accrual of Revenue. The accrual of financing revenue is discontinued at the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible or when it is 90 days past due. Accounts may be restored to accrual status only when a customer settles all past-due deficiency balances and future payments are reasonably assured. For receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received. Payments are generally applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance. Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”). A restructuring of debt constitutes a TDR if we grant a concession to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that we otherwise would not consider. Consumer and non-consumer receivables that have a modified interest rate below market rate or that were modified in reorganization proceedings pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, except non-consumer receivables that are current with minimal risk of loss, are considered to be TDRs. We do not grant concessions on the principal balance of the receivables. If a receivable is modified in a reorganization proceeding, all payment requirements of the reorganization plan need to be met before remaining balances are forgiven. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses represents our estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in finance receivables as of the balance sheet date. The adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is assessed quarterly. Adjustments to the allowance for credit losses are made by recording charges to the Provision for/(Benefit from) credit losses on our consolidated income statements. The uncollectible portion of a finance receivable is charged to the allowance for credit losses at the earlier of when an account is deemed to be uncollectible or when an account is 120 days delinquent, taking into consideration the financial condition of the customer or borrower, the value of the collateral, recourse to guarantors, and other factors. Charge-offs on finance receivables include uncollected amounts related to principal, interest, late fees, and other allowable charges. Recoveries on finance receivables previously charged off as uncollectible are credited to the allowance for credit losses. In the event we repossess the collateral, the receivable is charged off and the collateral is recorded at its estimated fair value less costs to sell and reported in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. NOTE 4. FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES (Continued) An analysis of the allowance for credit losses related to finance receivables for the periods ended March 31 was as follows (in millions): First Quarter 2021 Consumer Non-Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 1,245 $ 60 $ 1,305 Charge-offs (97) — (97) Recoveries 53 3 56 Provision for/(benefit from) credit losses (30) (10) (40) Other (a) (1) — (1) Ending balance $ 1,170 $ 53 $ 1,223 First Quarter 2022 Consumer Non-Consumer Total Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance $ 903 $ 22 $ 925 Charge-offs (62) — (62) Recoveries 43 1 44 Provision for/(benefit from) credit losses (59) (5) (64) Other (a) 1 1 2 Ending balance $ 826 $ 19 $ 845 __________ (a) Primarily represents amounts related to translation adjustments. During the first quarter of 2022, the allowance for credit losses decreased $80 million, primarily reflecting improvement in the economic outlook that caused us to lower our expectation of lifetime losses attributable to macroeconomic assumptions driven by COVID-19. Although net charge-offs in the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 remained low, due in part to high vehicle auction values, the impact of higher inflation on future credit losses remains uncertain. We will continue to monitor economic trends and conditions and portfolio performance and will adjust the reserve accordingly.

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]
TRANSFERS OF RECEIVABLES	TRANSFERS OF RECEIVABLES AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES We securitize finance receivables and net investment in operating leases through a variety of programs using amortizing, variable funding, and revolving structures. We also sell finance receivables, or pledge them as collateral in certain transactions outside of the United States, in other types of structured financing transactions. Due to the similarities between securitization and structured financing, we refer to structured financings as securitization transactions. Our securitization programs are targeted to institutional investors in both public and private transactions in capital markets primarily in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China. The finance receivables sold for legal purposes and net investment in operating leases included in securitization transactions are available only for payment of the debt issued by, and other obligations of, the securitization entities that are parties to those securitization transactions. They are not available to pay our other obligations or the claims of our other creditors. The debt is the obligation of our consolidated securitization entities and not the obligation of Ford Credit or our other subsidiaries. We use special purpose entities (“SPEs”) to issue asset-backed securities in our securitization transactions. We have deemed most of these SPEs to be VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary, and therefore, are consolidated. The SPEs are established for the sole purpose of financing the securitized financial assets. The SPEs are generally financed through the issuance of notes or commercial paper into the public or private markets or directly with conduits. We continue to recognize our financial assets related to our sales of receivables when the financial assets are sold to a consolidated VIE or a consolidated voting interest entity. We derecognize our financial assets when the financial assets are sold to a non-consolidated entity and we do not maintain control over the financial assets. We have the power to direct significant activities of our SPEs when we have the ability to exercise discretion in the servicing of financial assets, issue additional debt, exercise a unilateral call option, add assets to revolving structures, or control investment decisions. We generally retain a portion of the economic interests in the asset-backed securitization transactions, which could be retained in the form of a portion of the senior interests, the subordinated interests, cash reserve accounts, residual interests, and servicing rights. The transfers of assets in our securitization transactions do not qualify for accounting sale treatment. From time to time in Europe, we may retain all of the economic interests in some of our public asset-backed securitization transactions. The most senior retained notes are held as, or with the intent to become, eligible collateral to access central bank liquidity facilities in Europe. In addition, we regularly pledge receivables that are not securitized as eligible collateral for these facilities. In accordance with applicable regulatory guidance, the underlying assets in these transactions are considered unencumbered if they are not being used as security for a central bank funding. At December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, the value of unencumbered assets related to these transactions was $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. We have no obligation to repurchase or replace any securitized asset that subsequently becomes delinquent in payment or otherwise is in default, except when representations and warranties about the eligibility of the securitized assets are breached, or when certain changes are made to the underlying asset contracts. Securitization investors have no recourse to us or our other assets and have no right to require us to repurchase the investments. We generally have no obligation to provide liquidity or contribute cash or additional assets to the VIEs and do not guarantee any asset-backed securities. We may be required to support the performance of certain securitization transactions, however, by increasing cash reserves. Certain of our securitization entities may enter into derivative transactions to mitigate interest rate exposure, primarily resulting from fixed-rate assets securing floating-rate debt. In certain instances, the counterparty enters into offsetting derivative transactions with us to mitigate its interest rate risk resulting from derivatives with our securitization entities. These related derivatives are not the obligations of our securitization entities. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the accounting for derivatives. NOTE 6. TRANSFERS OF RECEIVABLES AND VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (Continued) Most of these securitization transactions utilize VIEs.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure	RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS In June 2021, we announced that our subsidiaries in Brazil and Argentina would cease originating receivables and wind down operations. In the first quarter of 2022, we liquidated two of our investments in Brazil and reclassified foreign currency translation losses of $119 million to net income, included in Other income/(loss), net. In December 2021, we received a capital contribution from a subsidiary of Ford in exchange for a minority interest share in one of our Argentina-based subsidiaries. As a result, we recorded $22 million in Shareholder’s interest attributable to noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter of 2022, we reacquired Ford’s minority interest share and, in exchange, transferred assets associated with an Argentina-based subsidiary to Ford. In addition, during the first quarter of 2022, we sold our shares in a second Argentina-based subsidiary to Ford. The difference between the carrying value of the net assets transferred and sold to Ford and the consideration received from Ford was $61 million, reported as a reduction to Shareholder’s interest . As a result of the transfer and sale, Ford Credit reclassified $75 million of accumulated foreign currency translation losses to net income, included in Other income/(loss), net. Accumulated foreign currency translation losses associated with our remaining investments in Brazil and Argentina included in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) at March 31, 2022 were $259 million. We expect to reclassify these losses to income upon substantially complete liquidation of our investments, which may occur over multiple reporting periods. Although the timing for the completion of these actions is uncertain, we expect the majority of losses to be recognized in 2024 or later.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	SEGMENT INFORMATION We conduct our financing operations directly and indirectly through our subsidiaries and affiliates. We offer substantially similar products and services throughout many different regions, subject to local legal restrictions and market conditions. In our consolidated financial statements, we have three reportable segments based on geographic regions: the United States and Canada, Europe, and All Other. Our All Other segment includes China, India, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and our joint venture in South Africa. Items excluded in assessing segment performance because they are managed at the corporate level, including market valuation adjustments to derivatives and exchange-rate fluctuations on foreign currency-denominated transactions, are reflected in Unallocated Other. Effective for the first quarter of 2022, we have eliminated the use of non-GAAP measures and now present receivables on a net basis.

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2022
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments and contingencies primarily consist of guarantees and indemnifications as well as litigation and claims. Guarantees and Indemnifications Guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. For financial guarantees, subsequent to initial recognition, the guarantee liability is adjusted at each reporting period to reflect the current estimate of expected payments resulting from possible default events over the remaining life of the guarantee. The probability of default is applied to the expected exposure at the time of default less recoveries to determine the expected payments. Factors to consider when estimating the probability of default include the obligor’s financial position, forecasted economic environment, historical loss rates, and other communications. For non-financial guarantees, we regularly review our performance risk under these arrangements, and in the event it becomes probable we will be required to perform under a guarantee or indemnity, the amount of probable payment is recorded. NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) The maximum potential payments under these guarantees and limited indemnities totaled $102 million at both December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Of these values, $19 million and $22 million at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively, were counter-guaranteed by Ford to us. There were no recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities at December 31, 2021 or March 31, 2022. In some cases, we have guaranteed debt and other financial obligations of outside third parties and unconsolidated affiliates, including Ford. Expiration dates vary, and guarantees will terminate on payment and/or cancellation of the underlying obligation. A payment by us would be triggered by the failure of the third party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee. In some circumstances, we are entitled to recover from a third party amounts paid by us under the guarantee. However, our ability to enforce these rights is sometimes stayed until the guaranteed party is paid in full and may be limited in the event of insolvency of the third party or other circumstances. In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction. These indemnifications might include and are not limited to claims relating to any of the following: environmental, tax, and shareholder matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; dealer and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters, such as securitizations. Performance under these indemnities generally would be triggered by a breach of the contract brought by a counterparty or a third-party claim. While some of these indemnifications are limited in nature, many of them do not limit potential payment. Therefore, we are unable to estimate a maximum amount of future payments that could result from claims made under these unlimited indemnities. Litigation and Claims Various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (generally, “matters”) are pending or may be instituted or asserted against us. These include, but are not limited to, matters arising out of governmental regulations; tax matters; alleged illegal acts resulting in fines or penalties; financial services; employment-related matters; dealer and other contractual relationships; personal injury matters; investor matters; and financial reporting matters. Certain of the pending legal actions are, or purport to be, class actions. Some of the matters involve or may involve claims for compensatory, punitive, or antitrust or other treble damages in very large amounts, sanctions, assessments, or other relief, which, if granted, would require very large expenditures. The extent of our financial exposure to these matters is difficult to estimate. Many matters do not specify a dollar amount for damages, and many others specify only a jurisdictional minimum. To the extent an amount is asserted, our historical experience suggests that in most instances the amount asserted is not a reliable indicator of the ultimate outcome. We accrue for matters when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood that we will prevail, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time. For nearly all matters where our historical experience with similar matters is of limited value (i.e., “non-pattern matters”), we evaluate the matters primarily based on the individual facts and circumstances. For non-pattern matters, we evaluate whether there is a reasonable possibility of a material loss in excess of any accrual that can be estimated. It is reasonably possible that some of the matters for which accruals have not been established could be decided unfavorably and could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures. We do not reasonably expect, based on our analysis, that such matters would have a material effect on future financial statements for a particular year, although such an outcome is possible.

Loans and Leases Receivable Disclosure [Abstract]
Financing Receivable [Policy Text Block]	Non-Accrual of Revenue. The accrual of financing revenue is discontinued at the time a receivable is determined to be uncollectible or when it is 90 days past due. Accounts may be restored to accrual status only when a customer settles all past-due deficiency balances and future payments are reasonably assured. For receivables in non-accrual status, subsequent financing revenue is recognized only to the extent a payment is received. Payments are generally applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance.

Included in Net investment in operating leases are net investment in operating leases that have been sold for legal purposes in securitization transactions but continue to be reported in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 for additional information.
Guarantees and Indemnifications Policies [Policy Text Block]	Guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. For financial guarantees, subsequent to initial recognition, the guarantee liability is adjusted at each reporting period to reflect the current estimate of expected payments resulting from possible default events over the remaining life of the guarantee. The probability of default is applied to the expected exposure at the time of default less recoveries to determine the expected payments. Factors to consider when estimating the probability of default include the obligor’s financial position, forecasted economic environment, historical loss rates, and other communications. For non-financial guarantees, we regularly review our performance risk under these arrangements, and in the event it becomes probable we will be required to perform under a guarantee or indemnity, the amount of probable payment is recorded.

Guarantor Obligations [Line Items]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Commitments and contingencies primarily consist of guarantees and indemnifications as well as litigation and claims. Guarantees and Indemnifications Guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. For financial guarantees, subsequent to initial recognition, the guarantee liability is adjusted at each reporting period to reflect the current estimate of expected payments resulting from possible default events over the remaining life of the guarantee. The probability of default is applied to the expected exposure at the time of default less recoveries to determine the expected payments. Factors to consider when estimating the probability of default include the obligor’s financial position, forecasted economic environment, historical loss rates, and other communications. For non-financial guarantees, we regularly review our performance risk under these arrangements, and in the event it becomes probable we will be required to perform under a guarantee or indemnity, the amount of probable payment is recorded. NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued) The maximum potential payments under these guarantees and limited indemnities totaled $102 million at both December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively. Of these values, $19 million and $22 million at December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively, were counter-guaranteed by Ford to us. There were no recorded liabilities related to guarantees and limited indemnities at December 31, 2021 or March 31, 2022. In some cases, we have guaranteed debt and other financial obligations of outside third parties and unconsolidated affiliates, including Ford. Expiration dates vary, and guarantees will terminate on payment and/or cancellation of the underlying obligation. A payment by us would be triggered by the failure of the third party to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee. In some circumstances, we are entitled to recover from a third party amounts paid by us under the guarantee. However, our ability to enforce these rights is sometimes stayed until the guaranteed party is paid in full and may be limited in the event of insolvency of the third party or other circumstances. In the ordinary course of business, we execute contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction. These indemnifications might include and are not limited to claims relating to any of the following: environmental, tax, and shareholder matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; dealer and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters, such as securitizations. Performance under these indemnities generally would be triggered by a breach of the contract brought by a counterparty or a third-party claim. While some of these indemnifications are limited in nature, many of them do not limit potential payment. Therefore, we are unable to estimate a maximum amount of future payments that could result from claims made under these unlimited indemnities. Litigation and Claims Various legal actions, proceedings, and claims (generally, “matters”) are pending or may be instituted or asserted against us. These include, but are not limited to, matters arising out of governmental regulations; tax matters; alleged illegal acts resulting in fines or penalties; financial services; employment-related matters; dealer and other contractual relationships; personal injury matters; investor matters; and financial reporting matters. Certain of the pending legal actions are, or purport to be, class actions. Some of the matters involve or may involve claims for compensatory, punitive, or antitrust or other treble damages in very large amounts, sanctions, assessments, or other relief, which, if granted, would require very large expenditures. The extent of our financial exposure to these matters is difficult to estimate. Many matters do not specify a dollar amount for damages, and many others specify only a jurisdictional minimum. To the extent an amount is asserted, our historical experience suggests that in most instances the amount asserted is not a reliable indicator of the ultimate outcome. We accrue for matters when losses are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In evaluating matters for accrual and disclosure purposes, we take into consideration factors such as our historical experience with matters of a similar nature, the specific facts and circumstances asserted, the likelihood that we will prevail, and the severity of any potential loss. We reevaluate and update our accruals as matters progress over time. For nearly all matters where our historical experience with similar matters is of limited value (i.e., “non-pattern matters”), we evaluate the matters primarily based on the individual facts and circumstances. For non-pattern matters, we evaluate whether there is a reasonable possibility of a material loss in excess of any accrual that can be estimated. It is reasonably possible that some of the matters for which accruals have not been established could be decided unfavorably and could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures. We do not reasonably expect, based on our analysis, that such matters would have a material effect on future financial statements for a particular year, although such an outcome is possible.
