GM Reports Net Income of $3.2 Billion
By General Motors, PRNEWednesday, May 4, 2011
Net income of $1.77 per share including a net gain from special items of $0.82 per share
DETROIT, May 5, 2011 - General Motors Company (NYSE: GM) today announced first quarter net
income attributable to common stockholders of $3.2 billion, or $1.77 per
fully-diluted share, marking the company's fifth consecutive profitable
quarter. Revenue increased $4.7 billion to $36.2 billion, compared with the
first quarter of 2010.
"We are on plan," said Dan Akerson, chairman and CEO. "GM has delivered
five consecutive profitable quarters, thanks to strong customer demand for
our new fuel-efficient vehicles and a competitive cost structure that allows
us to leverage our strong brands around the world and focus on driving
profitable automotive growth."
Net income attributable to common stockholders includes gains of $1.6
billion and $0.3 billion respectively related to the sales of the company's
ownership interest in Delphi Automotive LLP and Ally Financial Inc. preferred
stock. It also includes a $0.4 billion goodwill impairment charge at GM
Europe (GME) resulting from a change in accounting standards and charges
totaling $0.1 billion at GM International Operations (GMIO) related to
revised tax regulations affecting the company's India joint venture.
Combined, these special items increased net income attributable to common
stockholders by $1.5 billion or $0.82 per fully-diluted share.
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) were $3.5 billion. EBIT adjusted
to exclude special items was $2.0 billion compared with $1.7 billion in the
first quarter of 2010.
GM Results Overview (in billions except for per share amounts)
Q1 2010 Q1 2011
Revenue $31.5 $36.2
Net income attributable to common
stockholders $0.9 $3.2
Earnings per share (EPS) diluted $0.55 $1.77
EBIT $1.8 $3.5
Less special items $0.1 $1.5
EBIT - adjusted $1.7 $2.0
Impact of special items on EPS diluted $0.08 $0.82
Automotive net cash flow from operating
activities $1.9 $(0.6)*
Automotive free cash flow $1.0 $(1.9)*
* Includes $2.5 billion negative impact related to wholesale advance
financing agreement termination
GM North America (GMNA) reported EBIT of $2.9 billion compared with $1.2
billion in the first quarter of 2010. On an EBIT-adjusted basis, GMNA
increased its earnings by $0.1 billion to $1.3 billion compared with the
first quarter of 2010. The company expects GMNA's quarterly EBIT-adjusted
results to improve on average for the remainder of the year compared with the
first quarter as better pricing and improved fixed cost should more than
offset commodity cost increases and unfavorable mix.
GME reported EBIT of $(0.4) billion. GME's results improved by $0.6
billion on an EBIT-adjusted basis compared with the first quarter of 2010 and
it achieved a significant milestone by delivering breakeven results on that
basis. Based on current plans, GME is targeting to achieve breakeven results
on an EBIT-adjusted basis before restructuring for the entire year.
GMIO reported EBIT of $0.5 billion compared with $0.9 billion in the
first quarter of 2010. On an EBIT-adjusted basis, GMIO earned $0.6 billion in
the first quarter, a decline of $0.3 billion compared with the first quarter
of 2010.
GM South America (GMSA) reported EBIT of $0.1 billion, down $0.2 billion
from the first quarter of 2010. There were no adjustments in either period.
GM expects that full-year 2011 EBIT-adjusted results will show solid
improvement over 2010. GM continues to expect no material impact on full-year
results from the Japan crisis.
For the quarter, automotive cash flow from operating activities was
$(0.6) billion and automotive free cash flow was $(1.9) billion. Both figures
include the $2.5 billion cash impact of GM's decision, announced in October
2010, to end a wholesale advance agreement with Ally Financial.
GM ended the quarter with very strong total liquidity of $36.5 billion.
Cash and marketable securities were $30.6 billion compared with $27.6 billion
at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010.
"GM has great potential to deliver profitable growth around the world as
the recovery continues," said Dan Ammann, senior vice president and CFO.
"While we're encouraged, we keenly recognize we have more opportunities to
leverage our scale, improve spending and investment efficiencies, and
optimize our strong balance sheet."

Forward-Looking Statements
In this press release and in related comments by our management, our use
of the words "expect," "anticipate," "possible," "potential," "target,"
"believe," "commit," "intend," "continue," "may," "would," "could," "should,"
"project," "projected," "positioned" or similar expressions is intended to
identify forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about
possible future events. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these
statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our
actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors.
Among other items, such factors might include: our ability to realize
production efficiencies and to achieve reductions in costs as a result of our
restructuring initiatives and labor modifications; our ability to maintain
quality control over our vehicles and avoid material vehicle recalls; our
ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an
appropriate level of debt, including as required to fund our planned
significant investment in new technology; the ability of our suppliers to
timely deliver parts, components and systems; our ability to realize
successful vehicle applications of new technology; and our ability to
continue to attract new customers, particularly for our new products. GM's
most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q
provides information about these and other factors, which we may revise or
supplement in future reports to the SEC.

(Unaudited)
The accompanying tables and charts for securities analysts include
earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), EBIT adjusted and Automotive free
cash flow which are not prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles
Generally Accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and have not
been audited or reviewed by GM's independent auditors. EBIT, EBIT adjusted
and Automotive free cash flow are considered non-GAAP financial measures.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful
supplemental information regarding GM's operating results because they
exclude amounts that management does not consider part of operating results
when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the
organization. Management believes these measures allow it to readily view
operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance
among geographic regions. Accordingly, GM believes these non-GAAP financial
measures are useful in allowing for greater transparency of GM's core
operations and they are therefore used by management in its financial and
operational decision-making.
While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful information, they are not operating measures under U.S. GAAP and there
are limitations associated with their use. GM's calculation of these non-GAAP
financial measures may not be completely comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in
their method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP financial
measures has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or
as a substitute for, other measures such as Net income or Net income
attributable to common stockholders. Due to these limitations, these non-GAAP
financial measures are used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures.
The following table summarizes the reconciliation of EBIT to its most
comparable U.S. GAAP measure (dollars in millions):
