GM releases full-year and fourth-quarter 2024 results and 2025 guidance

, /PRNewswire/ -- General Motors (NYSE: GM) today reported full-year 2024 net income attributable to shareholders of $6.0 billion and EBIT-adjusted of $14.9 billion. Fourth-quarter 2024 net income attributable to shareholders was a loss of $3.0 billion and EBIT-adjusted was $2.5 billion. Fourth quarter net income was reduced by more than $5 billion in special charges driven primarily by $4 billion of non-cash restructuring charges and impairment of our interests in certain China Joint Ventures, and $0.5 billion in charges related to the decision to stop funding the Cruise robotaxi business. The chart below summarizes GM's 2024 financial guidance and 2024 results, as well as the company's 2025 guidance, which is for a year of strong financial performance.

General Motors Company and SubsidiariesSupplemental Material1(Unaudited) General Motors Company (GM) uses both generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and non-GAAP financial measures for operational and financial decision making, and to assess Company and segment business performance. Our non-GAAP measures include: earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)-adjusted, presented net of noncontrolling interests; earnings before income taxes-adjusted (EBT-adjusted) for our General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial) segment; earnings per share (EPS)-diluted-adjusted; effective tax rate-adjusted (ETR-adjusted); return on invested capital-adjusted (ROIC-adjusted) and adjusted automotive free cash flow. GM's calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related U.S. GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures allow management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions to understand operating performance without regard to items we do not consider a component of our core operating performance. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures allow investors the opportunity to measure and monitor our performance against our externally communicated targets and evaluate the investment decisions being made by management to improve ROIC-adjusted. Management uses these measures in its financial, investment and operational decision-making processes, for internal reporting and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes. Further, our Board of Directors uses certain of these and other measures as key metrics to determine management performance under our performance-based compensation plans. For these reasons, we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful for our investors. EBIT-adjusted (Most comparable GAAP measure: Net income attributable to stockholders) EBIT-adjusted is presented net of noncontrolling interests and is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated operating results because it excludes automotive interest income, automotive interest expense and income taxes as well as certain additional adjustments that are not considered part of our core operations. Examples of adjustments to EBIT include, but are not limited to, impairment charges on long-lived assets and other exit costs resulting from strategic shifts in our operations or discrete market and business conditions, and certain costs arising from legal matters. For EBIT-adjusted and our other non-GAAP measures, once we have made an adjustment in the current period for an item, we will also adjust the related non-GAAP measure in any future periods in which there is an impact from the item. Our corresponding measure for our GM Financial segment is EBT-adjusted because interest income and interest expense are part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the segment. EPS-diluted-adjusted (Most comparable GAAP measure: Diluted earnings per common share) EPS-diluted-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated diluted EPS results on a consistent basis. EPS-diluted-adjusted is calculated as net income attributable to common stockholders-diluted less adjustments noted above for EBIT-adjusted and certain income tax adjustments divided by weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted. Examples of income tax adjustments include the establishment or release of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances. ETR-adjusted (Most comparable GAAP measure: Effective tax rate) ETR-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review the consolidated effective tax rate for our core operations on a consistent basis. ETR-adjusted is calculated as Income tax expense less the income tax related to the adjustments noted above for EBIT-adjusted and the income tax adjustments noted above for EPS-diluted-adjusted divided by Income before income taxes less adjustments. When we provide an expected adjusted effective tax rate, we do not provide an expected effective tax rate because the U.S. GAAP measure may include significant adjustments that are difficult to predict. ROIC-adjusted (Most comparable GAAP measure: Return on equity) ROIC-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our investment and capital allocation decisions. We define ROIC-adjusted as EBIT-adjusted for the trailing four quarters divided by ROIC-adjusted average net assets, which is considered to be the average equity balances adjusted for average automotive debt and interest liabilities, exclusive of finance leases; average automotive net pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) liabilities; and average automotive net income tax assets during the same period. Adjusted automotive free cash flow (Most comparable GAAP measure: Net automotive cash provided by operating activities) Adjusted automotive free cash flow is used by management and can be used by investors to review the liquidity of our automotive operations and to measure and monitor our performance against our capital allocation program and evaluate our automotive liquidity against the substantial cash requirements of our automotive operations. We measure adjusted automotive free cash flow as automotive operating cash flow from operations less capital expenditures adjusted for management actions. Management actions can include voluntary events such as discretionary contributions to employee benefit plans or nonrecurring specific events such as a closure of a facility that are considered special for EBIT-adjusted purposes.

Wholesale vehicle sales data consists of sales to GM's dealers and distributors, as well as sales to the U.S. government, and excludes vehicles sold by our joint ventures. Wholesale vehicle sales data correlates to GM's revenue recognized from the sale of vehicles, which is the largest component of Automotive net sales and revenue. In the year ended December 31, 2024, 27.9% of GM's wholesale vehicle sales volume was generated outside the U.S. The following table summarizes wholesale vehicle sales by automotive segment (vehicles in thousands): Three Months Ended Years Ended December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 GMNA 876 782 3,464 3,147 GMI 163 161 547 621 Total 1,039 943 4,010 3,768 Total vehicle sales data represents: (1) retail sales (i.e., sales to consumers who purchase new vehicles from dealers or distributors); (2) fleet sales (i.e., sales to large and small businesses, governments and daily rental car companies); and (3) sales of courtesy transportation vehicles (i.e., vehicles previously used by dealers that were sold to the end consumer). Total vehicle sales data includes all sales by joint ventures on a total vehicle basis, not based on GM's percentage ownership interest in the joint venture. Certain joint venture agreements in China allow for the contractual right to report vehicle sales of non-GM trademarked vehicles by those joint ventures, which are included in the total vehicle sales we report for China. While total vehicle sales data does not correlate directly to the revenue GM recognizes during a particular period, we believe it is indicative of the underlying demand for GM's vehicles. Total vehicle sales data represents management's good faith estimate based on sales reported by GM's dealers, distributors and joint ventures; commercially available data sources such as registration and insurance data; and internal estimates and forecasts when other data is not available. The following table summarizes industry and GM total vehicle sales and GM's related competitive position by geographic region (vehicles in thousands): Three Months Ended Years Ended December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Industry GM Market Share Industry GM Market Share Industry GM Market Share Industry GM Market Share North America United States 4,323 755 17.5 % 4,021 625 15.5 % 16,385 2,705 16.5 % 16,022 2,595 16.2 % Other 1,025 134 13.1 % 943 122 13.0 % 3,909 510 13.1 % 3,590 460 12.8 % Total North America 5,347 889 16.6 % 4,963 747 15.1 % 20,294 3,215 15.8 % 19,612 3,055 15.6 % Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa China(a) 8,444 599 7.1 % 7,227 569 7.9 % 26,567 1,839 6.9 % 24,967 2,099 8.4 % Other 5,528 137 2.5 % 5,695 167 2.9 % 21,727 520 2.4 % 22,058 577 2.6 % Total Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa 13,971 736 5.3 % 12,922 736 5.7 % 48,293 2,359 4.9 % 47,025 2,676 5.7 % South America Brazil 776 92 11.9 % 679 92 13.5 % 2,634 315 12.0 % 2,307 328 14.2 % Other 355 27 7.7 % 338 30 8.8 % 1,347 109 8.1 % 1,419 128 9.0 % Total South America 1,131 119 10.6 % 1,017 122 12.0 % 3,980 424 10.7 % 3,726 456 12.2 % Total in GM markets 20,450 1,745 8.5 % 18,902 1,605 8.5 % 72,568 5,998 8.3 % 70,362 6,187 8.8 % Total Europe 4,215 1 — % 4,182 1 — % 16,816 2 — % 16,596 2 — % Total Worldwide(b) 24,665 1,746 7.1 % 23,084 1,605 7.0 % 89,383 6,001 6.7 % 86,958 6,189 7.1 % United States Cars 729 37 5.0 % 737 40 5.5 % 2,939 178 6.0 % 3,070 224 7.3 % Trucks 1,196 396 33.1 % 1,038 321 31.0 % 4,345 1,383 31.8 % 4,249 1,303 30.7 % Crossovers 2,398 322 13.4 % 2,247 264 11.7 % 9,101 1,144 12.6 % 8,702 1,068 12.3 % Total United States 4,323 755 17.5 % 4,021 625 15.5 % 16,385 2,705 16.5 % 16,022 2,595 16.2 % China(a) SGMS 152 211 524 870 SGMW 447 358 1,315 1,229 Total China 8,444 599 7.1 % 7,227 569 7.9 % 26,567 1,839 6.9 % 24,967 2,099 8.4 % (a) Includes sales by the Automotive China JVs: SAIC General Motors Sales Co., Ltd.

Accordingly, these countries are excluded from industry sales data and corresponding calculation of market share. As discussed above, total vehicle sales and market share data provided in the table above includes fleet vehicles. Certain fleet transactions, particularly sales to daily rental car companies, are generally less profitable than retail sales to end customers. The following table summarizes estimated fleet sales and those sales as a percentage of total vehicle sales (vehicles in thousands): Three Months Ended Years Ended December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 GMNA 168 141 615 679 GMI 127 168 401 506 Total fleet sales 295 309 1,016 1,185 Fleet sales as a percentage of total vehicle sales 16.9 % 19.3 % 16.9 % 19.2 % North America capacity two-shift utilization 103.5 % 93.1 % 105.7 % 97.1 % SOURCE General Motors Company WANT YOUR COMPANY'S NEWS FEATURED ON PRNEWSWIRE.COM? 440k+ Newsrooms & Influencers 9k+ Digital Media Outlets 270k+ Journalists Opted In
