When does Ford’s fiscal year start?

When does Ford’s fiscal year start? I’m trying to find out exactly what their expectation for late availability (2nd Quarter) means and yes I realize there will likely be delays.

Jan 1 start date for Ford’s fiscal year. 2nd quarter in bronco time means October, the rest of the world would interpret 2nd quarter as APRIL-JUNE.

That’s confusing. Why would we be reordering during their 2nd quarter?

Q2 should mean March. Do I expect Ford to meet that?

Why do you say March? The other guy thinks that means October.

Q2 starts April 1st.
April = early
May = mid
June = late
October = sarcasm

Thank you. I guess I missed the sarcasm and was a bit confused because my work has a different fiscal year than the typical calendar year. I thought Ford might too.

Go back an look at Ford’s estimates of anything Bronco and you will understand why a “2nd quarter” estimate is October or later.

Like I said in the original post, I understand that there will likely be delays and Ford probably won’t hit their expectation. I’m not looking for opinions though. I’m looking for a straight answer on what they consider 2nd quarter.

He answered back but yeah, I meant April 1st, Q1 ends March 31st.

Hoping Ford has their stuff together this time around, we've all gotten cynical around here getting the goal posts pushed back all the time.
