Item 1A. Risk Factors
85 rewritten, 26 added, 17 removed, 132 unchanged
If we do not deliver new products, services, technologies and customer experiences in response to increased competition and changing consumer [removed: preferences in the automotive industry,] [added: needs and preferences,] our business could suffer. We believe that the automotive industry will continue to experience significant change in the coming years, particularly as traditional automotive original equipment manufacturers [added: (OEMs)] continue to shift resources to the development of EVs.
In addition to our traditional competitors, we must also be responsive to the entrance of start-ups and other non-traditional competitors in the automotive industry, such as [added: software and] ridesharing [removed: services.][added: services supported by large technology companies.]
To successfully execute our long-term strategy, we must continue to develop [added: and commercialize] new products and services, including products and services that are outside of our historically core ICE business, such as EVs and AVs, software-enabled connected services and other new businesses.
[removed: Our] [added: In particular, our] vehicles and connected services increasingly rely on software and hardware that is highly technical and [removed: complex.][added: complex and our success in this area is dependent upon our ability to retain and recruit the best talent.]
The process of designing and developing new technology, products and services is costly and uncertain and requires extensive capital [removed: investment and the ability to retain and recruit the best talent.][added: investment.]
If our access to capital were to become significantly constrained, if costs of capital increased significantly, or if our ability to raise capital is challenged relative to our peers, [removed: in each case including as a result of any constraints on lending due to concerns about climate change,] our ability to execute on our strategic plans could be adversely affected.
[removed: Further, the] [added: The] market for highly skilled workers and leaders in our industry is extremely competitive.
Further, if we are unable to prevent or effectively remedy errors, bugs, vulnerabilities or defects in our software and hardware, or fail to deploy updates to our software properly, or if we do not adequately prepare for and respond to new kinds of technological innovations, market developments and changing customer [removed: needs,] [added: needs and preferences,] our sales, profitability and long-term competitiveness may be [added: materially] harmed.
Our ability to maintain profitability is dependent upon our ability to timely fund and introduce new and improved vehicle models, including EVs, that are able to attract a sufficient number of consumers. We operate in a very competitive industry with market participants routinely introducing new and improved vehicle models and [removed: features] [added: features, at decreasing price points,] designed to meet rapidly evolving consumer expectations.
Because of this product development cycle and the various elements that may contribute to consumers’ acceptance of new vehicle designs, including competitors’ product introductions, technological innovations, fuel prices, general economic conditions, regulatory developments, [added: including tax credits or other government policies in various countries,] transportation infrastructure and changes in quality, safety, reliability and styling demands and preferences, an initial product concept or design may not result in a saleable vehicle or a vehicle that generates sales in sufficient quantities and at high enough prices to be profitable.
[added: Our high proportion of fixed costs, both due to our significant investment in property, plant and equipment as] well as other requirements of our collective bargaining agreements, which limit our flexibility to adjust personnel costs to changes in demands for our products, may further exacerbate the risks associated with incorrectly assessing demand for our vehicles.
Our long-term strategy is dependent upon our ability to profitably deliver a [removed: broad] [added: strategic] portfolio of EVs. The production and profitable sale of EVs has become increasingly important to our long-term business as we [removed: accelerate] [added: continue] our transition to an all-electric future.
Our EV strategy is dependent on our ability to deliver a [removed: broad] [added: strategic] portfolio of high-quality EVs that are competitive and meet consumer demands; scale our EV manufacturing capabilities; reduce the costs associated with the manufacture of EVs, particularly with respect to battery cells and packs; increase vehicle range and the energy density of our batteries; efficiently source sufficient materials for the manufacture of [removed: EV] battery cells; license and monetize our proprietary platforms and related innovations; successfully invest in new technologies relative to our peers; develop new software and services; and leverage our scale, manufacturing capabilities and synergies with existing ICE vehicles.
In addition, [removed: consumer adoption of EVs will be critical to] the success of our [removed: strategy.][added: long-term strategy is dependent on consumer adoption of EVs.]
Consumer adoption of EVs could be impacted by numerous factors, including the breadth of the portfolio of EVs available; perceptions about EV features, quality, safety, performance and cost relative to ICE vehicles; the range over which EVs may be driven on a given battery charge; the proliferation [added: and speed] of charging infrastructure, in particular with respect to public EV charging stations, and the success of the Company's charging infrastructure programs and strategic joint ventures and other relationships; cost and availability of high fuel-economy ICE vehicles; volatility, or a sustained decrease, in the cost of petroleum-based fuel; failure by governments and other third parties to make the investments necessary to make infrastructure improvements, such as greater availability of cleaner energy grids and EV charging stations, and to provide [added: meaningful and fully utilizable] economic incentives promoting the adoption of EVs, including [removed: those] [added: production and consumer credits] contemplated by the Inflation Reduction [removed: Act;] [added: Act (IRA);] and negative feedback from stakeholders impacting investor and consumer confidence in our company or industry.
Our near-term profitability is dependent upon the success of our current line of [added: ICE vehicles, particularly our] full-size ICE SUVs and full-size ICE pickup trucks. While we offer a broad portfolio of cars, crossovers, SUVs and trucks, and we have announced significant plans to design, build and sell a [removed: broad] [added: strategic] portfolio of EVs, we currently recognize the highest profit margins on our full-size ICE SUVs and full-size ICE [added: pickup] trucks.
Any near-term shift in consumer preferences toward smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles, whether as a result of increases in the price of oil or any sustained shortage of oil, including as a result of global political instability (such as related to [removed: Russia's invasion of Ukraine),] [added: the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza),] concerns about fuel consumption or GHG emissions, or other reasons, could weaken the demand for our higher margin vehicles.
[removed: More stringent fuel economy] regulations could also impact our ability to sell these vehicles or could result in additional costs associated with these [removed: vehicles.][added: vehicles, which could be material.]
Many manufacturers, including GM, have relatively high fixed labor costs as well as limitations on their ability to efficiently close facilities and reduce fixed costs, [removed: often] [added: including] as a result of collective bargaining agreements.
Manufacturers in countries that have lower production costs, such as China and India, have become competitors in key emerging markets and have [removed: announced their intention to export] [added: begun offering] their products [removed: to] [added: in] established [removed: markets] [added: markets,] as [added: well as] a low-cost alternative to established entry-level automobiles.
Our AV strategy is dependent upon our ability to successfully mitigate unique technological, operational and regulatory [removed: risks. GM] [added: risks, including the various regulatory approvals and permits required for operating driverless AVs in multiple markets.] Cruise [removed: Holdings LLC (Cruise Holdings),] [added: Holdings,] our majority-owned subsidiary, is [removed: responsible for] [added: pursuing] the development and commercialization of AV technology.
In addition, we face risks related to the commercial deployment of AVs on our targeted timeline or at all, including consumer acceptance, [added: reputation of our brand,] achievement of adequate safety and other performance standards and compliance with uncertain, evolving and potentially conflicting federal, state, provincial or local regulations.
[removed: Any current] [added: Current] or [added: any] future regulations in these areas could impede the successful commercialization of these technologies and impact whether and how these technologies are designed and integrated into our products, and may ultimately subject us to increased costs and uncertainty.
We are subject to risks associated with climate change, including increased regulation of GHG emissions, changing consumer preferences and other risks related to our transition to EVs and the potential increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations and infrastructure. Increasing attention to climate change, [removed: increasing] [added: rising] societal expectations on companies to address climate [removed: change] [added: change, requirements for increased disclosure] and changes in consumer [added: and investor] preferences may result in increased costs, reduced demand for our products, reduced profits, risks associated with new regulatory requirements, risks to our reputation and the potential for increased litigation and governmental investigations.
[removed: Climate change regulations] [added: Regulations] at the federal, state or local level or in international jurisdictions could require us to further limit emissions associated with customer use of products we sell, change our manufacturing processes or product portfolio or undertake other activities that may require us to incur additional expense, which may be material.
See “Our operations and products are subject to extensive laws, regulations and policies, including those related to vehicle emissions and fuel economy standards, which can significantly increase our costs and affect how we do business.” In addition, [added: at the state and federal level] in the U.S. and abroad there are an increasing number of sustainability-related rules and regulations that have been adopted or proposed.
Such regulations may [removed: also] subject us to new disclosure requirements, [added: new supply chain requirements, new trade restrictions and increased risk of litigation or regulatory action,] which could result in [added: increased costs (in our operations and supply chain) and] risks to our reputation or consumer demand for our products if we do not meet increasingly demanding stakeholder expectations and standards.
Part of our strategy to address these risks includes our transition to EVs, which presents additional risks, including reduced demand for, and therefore profits from, our ICE vehicles, which we are using to fund our growth [removed: strategy;] [added: strategy and transition to EVs;] higher costs or reduced availability of materials related to EV [removed: technologies] [added: technologies, whether as a result of increased competition or more stringent regulatory requirements,] impacting profitability, particularly with respect to batteries and battery raw material; [removed: and] risks related to the success of our EV strategy, particularly with respect to advancement of battery cell technology, charging infrastructure and [removed: competition.][added: competition; and uncertainty over how EVs will be treated under upcoming CAFE regulations.]
See “Our long-term strategy is dependent upon our ability to profitably deliver a [removed: broad] [added: strategic] portfolio of EVs” and “Our near-term profitability is dependent upon the success of our current line of full-size ICE SUVs and full-size ICE pickup trucks.”
Finally, increased intensity, frequency or duration of storms, [removed: droughts] [added: droughts, wildfires] or other severe weather events as a result of climate change may disrupt our production and the production, logistics, cost and procurement of products from our suppliers and timely delivery of vehicles to customers, and could negatively impact working conditions at our plants and those of our suppliers.
A number of economic and market conditions drive changes in new vehicle sales, including disruptions in the new vehicle supply chain, the availability and prices of used vehicles, levels of unemployment and inflation, availability of affordable financing, [added: elevated interest rates,] fluctuations in the cost of fuel, consumer confidence and demand for vehicles, political unrest or uncertainty, the occurrence of a public health crisis, barriers to trade and other global economic conditions.
If our operating environment deteriorates for these or other reasons, [removed: such as] [added: including] a moderate to severe [removed: recession,] [added: recession in any of the markets in which we operate,] it could lead to a significant decrease in new vehicle sales, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Inflationary pressures and persistently high prices and uncertain availability of commodities, raw materials or other inputs used by us and our suppliers, or instability in logistics and related costs, could negatively impact our profitability. Increases in prices, including as a result of inflation and rising interest rates, for commodities, raw [removed: materials] [added: materials, energy] or other inputs that we and our suppliers use in manufacturing products, systems, components and parts, such as steel, precious metals, non-ferrous metals, critical minerals or other similar raw materials, or increases in logistics and related costs, have led and may [removed: continue to lead to higher production costs for parts, components and vehicles.]
In addition, [removed: any increase in the] [added: elevated] cost, or reduced availability, of critical materials for our EV propulsion systems, including lithium, nickel, cobalt and certain rare earth metals, could lead to higher production costs for our EVs and could impede our ability to successfully deliver on our EV strategy.
Geopolitical risk, fluctuations in supply and demand, fluctuations in interest rates, any weakening of the U.S. dollar and other economic and political factors have created and may continue to create pricing pressure for commodities, raw [removed: materials] [added: materials, energy] and other inputs.
Our business in China subjects us to unique operational, competitive and regulatory risks. Our business in China is subject to aggressive competition from many of the largest global manufacturers and numerous domestic [removed: manufacturers] [added: manufacturers, which have experienced significant growth in customer acceptance,] as well as non-traditional market participants, such as domestic technology companies.
In addition, our success in China depends upon our ability to adequately address unique market and consumer preferences driven by advancements related to EVs, infotainment, software-enabled connected services and other new [removed: technologies.][added: technologies while achieving industry-leading affordability.]
Our ability to fully deploy our technologies in China may be impacted by evolving laws and regulations in the U.S. and [added: China and the unique regulatory landscape in] China.
Increased competition, continued U.S.-China trade [removed: tensions or] [added: tensions,] weakening economic conditions in [removed: China,] [added: China or China's level of integration with key components in our global supply chain,] among other factors, may result in cost increases, price reductions, reduced sales, profitability and margins, and challenges to gaining or holding market share.
The Chinese government may adopt new regulations that may impact entities operating in [added: China or the ability of non-Chinese entities to obtain critical materials from] China, potentially with little advance notice.
Our ability to attract and retain talented, diverse and highly skilled employees is critical to our success and competitiveness. Our success depends on our ability to recruit and retain talented and diverse employees who are highly skilled
in their areas.
In addition to compensation considerations, current and potential employees are increasingly placing a premium on culture and other various intangibles, such as working for companies with a clear purpose and strong brand reputation, flexible work arrangements, and other considerations, such as embracing sustainability and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
Our progress towards these objectives has impacted, and may continue to impact, the need to record losses on our EV-related inventory, including battery cells.
More stringent fuel economy
Additionally, despite the fact that OEMs have experienced supply constraints in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and certain supply chain and logistics challenges, overall manufacturing capacity in the automotive industry has historically far exceeded demand, and we expect conditions to normalize in the near term.
Any current or future regulations in these areas, and our relationships with regulators, could impede the successful commercialization of these technologies and impact whether and how these technologies are designed and integrated into our products, and may ultimately subject us to increased costs and uncertainty.
In October 2023, a hit-and-run accident involving a pedestrian and a third-party vehicle occurred, which resulted in the pedestrian being thrown into the path of a Cruise AV.
During the resulting investigation, regulators perceived that Cruise representatives were not explicit about a secondary movement of the Cruise AV and, as a result, the California DMV suspended Cruise's permits to operate AVs in California without a safety driver.
Shortly thereafter, Cruise voluntarily paused all of its driverless, supervised and manual AV operations in the U.S. while it examines its processes, systems and tools.
This orderly pause is designed to rebuild public trust while Cruise undertakes a comprehensive safety review.
In addition, certain federal and state agencies, including the California DMV, the California Public Utilities Commission, NHTSA, the U.S. Department of
Justice and the SEC, have opened investigations or made inquiries in connection with the incident.
We and Cruise are investigating these matters internally and intend to cooperate with all government regulators and agencies in connection with these matters.
At this time, we are not able to predict when Cruise will resume driverless testing or commercial AV operations.
Furthermore, our practices may be judged against sustainability standards that are continually evolving and not always clear.
Prevailing sustainability standards, expectations and regulations may also reflect contrasting or conflicting values or agendas.

If the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread or reemerges and results in a prolonged period of travel, commercial, social and other similar restrictions, we could experience continued and/or additional global supply disruptions.
In particular, while the global semiconductor supply shortage is easing, it has had, and is continuing to have, wide-ranging effects across multiple industries, particularly the automotive industry, and it has impacted multiple suppliers that incorporate semiconductors into the parts they supply to us.

The United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced that it will no longer persuade or compel banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR.
In March 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, extended the transition dates of certain U.S. Dollar LIBOR tenors to June 30, 2023, after which LIBOR reference rates will cease to be provided.
Despite this deferral, the LIBOR administrator has advised that no new contracts using U.S. Dollar LIBOR should be entered into after December 31, 2021.
It is unknown whether LIBOR will continue to be published by its administrator based on continued bank submissions or on any other basis, after such dates.
There is a risk that continued developments, modifications, or other reforms effecting the discontinuation of LIBOR may impact GM Financial's ability to manage interest rate risk effectively.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
252 rewritten, 143 added, 127 removed, 321 unchanged
The discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2020] [added: 2021] included in Item 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our [Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2021](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001467858/000146785822000034/gm-20211231.htm)] [added: 2022](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001467858/000146785823000029/gm-20221231.htm)] is incorporated by reference into this MD&A.
[removed: Non-GAAP Measures] Our non-GAAP measures include: earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)-adjusted, presented net of noncontrolling interests; earnings before income taxes (EBT)-adjusted for our 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.
EBIT-adjusted [added: *(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.
[removed: For EBIT-adjusted and our other non-GAAP] [added: 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.
EPS-diluted-adjusted [added: *(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.
Examples of income tax adjustments include the establishment or [removed: reversal] [added: release] of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
ETR-adjusted [added: *(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.
ROIC-adjusted [added: *(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 [removed: other postretirement benefits (OPEB)] [added: OPEB] liabilities; and average automotive net income tax assets during the same period.
Adjusted automotive free cash flow [added: *(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.

Overview Our vision for the future is a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion.
We will adapt to customer preferences while executing our growth-focused strategy to invest in EVs, hybrids, AVs, software-enabled services and other new business opportunities.
To support strong margins and cash flow during this transition, we are strengthening our market position in profitable ICE vehicles, such as trucks and SUVs.
Our financial performance in 2023 was driven by the success of high-margin products like full-size pick-ups and SUVs, despite several headwinds, including higher interest rates and inflationary pressures, supply chain and logistics challenges, and work stoppages associated with recent labor negotiations.
This performance was due to the strength of our vehicle portfolio, strong consumer demand and execution of our core business strategy, focused on fixed cost reduction and pricing discipline.
In January 2023, we announced our intention to implement a cost reduction program to reduce automotive fixed costs by $2.0 billion on an annual run rate basis by the end of 2024.
This goal includes the impact of higher expected depreciation and amortization expense and inflationary cost increases on fixed cost but excludes changes in our pension income.
In March 2023,
we announced performance-based exits and a voluntary separation program (VSP) in an effort to accelerate attrition, which we believe will result in approximately $1.0 billion towards this target on an annual run rate basis.
In addition to people costs, we are reducing our marketing and advertising expenses, streamlining our engineering expense by reducing complexity across the vehicle portfolio, adjusting the cadence of our EV launches due to customer demand, reducing launch-related expenses in the near-term, reprioritizing growth initiatives and reducing our overall overhead and discretionary costs.
Our collective bargaining agreement with the UAW, which was ratified in October 2019, expired on September 14, 2023.
On September 15, 2023, the UAW initiated a strike at certain of our U.S. facilities and intermittently expanded the strike to additional facilities, causing stoppages to some vehicle production and parts distribution activities across our U.S. operations.
We estimate that the lost vehicle production volumes and parts sales due to the UAW strike had an unfavorable impact of approximately $0.8 billion on Net income attributable to stockholders and $1.1 billion on our GMNA EBIT-adjusted in the year ended December 31, 2023.
On November 16, 2023, the UAW ratified a new collective bargaining agreement (the Labor Agreement).
The Labor Agreement, which continues through April 30, 2028, covers the wages, hours, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment for our UAW-represented employees.
The key terms and provisions of the Labor Agreement are:
- General wage increases of 11% upon ratification in 2023, 3% in September each of 2024, 2025 and 2026, and 5% in September 2027;
- Consolidation of applicable wage classifications for in-progression, temporary and other employees – with employees reaching the top classification rate upon the completion of 156 weeks of active service;
- The re-establishment of a cost-of-living allowance;
- Lump sum ratification bonus payments of $5,000 paid to eligible employees in the three months ended December 31, 2023;
- For members currently employed and enrolled in the Employees’ Pension Plan, an increase of $5.00 to the monthly basic benefit for past and future service provided;
- A 3.6% increase in company contributions to eligible employees' defined contribution retirement accounts; and
- Annual contribution of $500 to eligible retirees or surviving spouses.
Beginning in 2024 and through the end of the term of the Labor Agreement, GM will offer three separate cash severance incentive programs to UAW-represented employees that meet the normal or early retirement eligibility requirements.
On August 16, 2022, the IRA was enacted.
IRA benefits, including credits and lower material costs, are expected to materially affect net income in the future.
We will continue to evaluate the IRA impacts on our financial results as additional regulatory guidance is issued.
Refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures" section of this MD&A for additional information.
| EBIT-adjusted(a) | | | $ 12.0-14.0 | | |
We expect to sustain relatively strong EBIT-adjusted margins in 2024 on the continued strength of our product portfolio, improved EV margins and ongoing fixed cost reduction efforts, partially offset by pricing moderation with increased incentives.
While we expect EV margins to improve in 2024, it is possible that we will continue to recognize losses to adjust inventory to net realizable value.
Price competition, growing customer acceptance of domestic brands and demand for NEVs, and a more challenging regulatory environment related to emissions, fuel consumption and NEVs have and will continue to place pressure on our operations in China.
Cruise Cruise Holdings, our majority-owned subsidiary, is pursuing the development and commercialization of AV technology.
In October 2023, a hit-and-run accident involving a pedestrian and a third-party vehicle occurred, which resulted in the pedestrian being thrown into the path of a Cruise AV.
During the resulting investigation, regulators perceived that Cruise representatives were not explicit about a secondary movement of the Cruise AV and, as a result, the California DMV suspended Cruise's permits to operate AVs in California without a safety driver.
Shortly thereafter, Cruise voluntarily paused all of its driverless, supervised and manual AV operations in the U.S. while it examines its processes, systems and tools.
This orderly pause is designed to rebuild public trust while Cruise undertakes a comprehensive safety review.
In addition, certain federal and state agencies, including the California DMV, the California Public Utilities Commission, NHTSA, the U.S. Department of Justice and the SEC, have opened investigations or made inquiries in connection with the incident.
We and Cruise are investigating these matters internally and intend to cooperate with all government regulators and agencies in connection with these matters.
At this time, we are not able to predict when Cruise will resume driverless testing or commercial AV operations.

________
In 2023, we expect to incur additional charges as we continue to optimize our Buick dealer network.
The ultimate amount of any future charges will depend on negotiations with our dealers.
(h)This adjustment was excluded because of a strategic decision to rationalize our core operations by exiting or significantly reducing our presence in various international markets to focus resources on opportunities expected to deliver higher returns.
The adjustments primarily consist of dealer restructurings, asset impairments, inventory provisions and employee separation charges in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and India.
(i)This adjustment was excluded because of the unique events associated with the ignition switch recall.
Overview Our vision for the future is a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion, which guides our growth-focused strategy to invest in EVs and AVs, software-enabled services and subscriptions and new business opportunities, while strengthening our market position in profitable ICE vehicles, such as trucks and SUVs.
The automotive industry and GM continue to experience supply chain and logistics disruptions from multiple suppliers that have impacted, and may continue to impact, our planned production schedules.
Despite these challenges, in the second half of 2022, we experienced improved parts availability that enabled us to increase production and improve dealer inventory levels for certain vehicles.
In addition, we faced significant inflationary pressure in 2022 that resulted in approximately $5.5 billion in higher commodity and logistics costs.
These increases were more than offset by strong product pricing.
While we anticipate incentives to increase from the low levels in 2022, we expect product pricing to remain strong in 2023, particularly for our full-size SUVs, full-size trucks and expected new launches.
We also expect commodity and logistics cost to improve, but be partially offset by costs we expect to incur as we strategically localize our battery raw materials supply chain in North America.
In 2022, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System raised interest rates to lower the rate of inflation.
The higher interest rate environment did not have a material impact on our 2022 financial results, but we expect it will have an approximately $1.0 billion unfavorable impact on our results of operations in 2023, as a result of lower forecasted pension income.
Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates section of this MD&A for additional information including our interest rate sensitivity analysis.
We expect higher interest rates to have an immaterial impact on our Automotive interest expense in 2023, as substantially all of our debt instruments are fixed rate.
For a discussion of the net interest income sensitivity of GM Financial, see Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Furthermore, holding other factors constant, the higher interest rate environment may decrease the affordability of our vehicles for customers who rely on financing to purchase a vehicle.
Refer to Part I, Item 1A.
We also continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and government actions and measures taken to prevent its spread, and the potential to affect our operations.
Risk Factors for further discussion of these risks.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Act”) was signed into law.
The Act implements a new 15% corporate minimum tax based on modified U.S. financial statement net income that is effective beginning in 2023.
The new corporate minimum tax is not expected to have a significant impact on our net earnings or cash flow in 2023.
We expect to generate commercial EV tax credits and credits from our production of battery components that will increase net income and impact income tax cash payments.
While waiting on pending Department of Treasury regulatory guidance, we are continuing to evaluate the ultimate impact of the tax credits on our financial results, including our net earnings and cash flow.
| EBIT-adjusted(a) | | | $ 10.5-12.5 | | |
The COVID-19 pandemic originally resulted in a contraction of total North America industry volumes in 2020 that continued through 2022.
Dealer inventory remains constrained for several critical vehicles, including our full-size SUVs.
We expect to sustain relatively strong EBIT-adjusted margins in 2023 on the continued strength of vehicle pricing and healthy U.S. industry light vehicle demand, partially offset by elevated costs associated with commodities, raw materials and logistics.
As a result of supply chain disruptions in 2022, we experienced interruptions to our planned production schedules and prioritized production of our most popular and in-demand products, including our full-size trucks, full-size SUVs and EVs.
In 2023, our collective bargaining agreements with the UAW in the United States and Unifor in Canada, as well as collective bargaining agreements in Mexico, will expire, which will require negotiation of new agreements.
Risk Factors for a discussion of the risks related to any significant disruption at one of our manufacturing facilities.
Our Automotive China JVs
Although price competition, higher costs associated with commodities and raw materials, and a more challenging regulatory environment related to emissions, fuel consumption and NEV requirements will place pressure on our operations in China, we will continue to build upon our strong brands, network, and partnerships in China as well as drive improvements in vehicle mix and cost.

*Electric Vehicles* We plan to have annual EV capacity of one million units in North America as we exit 2025.
We plan to leverage Ultium to expand our EV portfolio over a wide variety of segments and price points with multiple launches planned in 2024 and additional EV entries planned for 2025 and beyond.
GM is also investing in our propulsion stamping and components plants to support EV production.
GM’s commitment to an all-electric future is focused not only on delivering a world-class portfolio of EVs, but investing in an ecosystem that will help enable mass EV adoption, including the development of turn-key charging solutions as well as fleet and facility energy management services.
To support this goal, we are working to help ensure that our customers will have access to comprehensive energy management and fast, reliable charging solutions at home, at the workplace and in public locations.
Currently, GM has integration relationships with 12 EV charging networks and GM EV drivers have access to over 174,000 chargers throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Beginning in early 2024, GM’s EV drivers will gain access to 15,000 Tesla Superchargers, and growing, throughout North America.
The first GM EVs will be built with the North American Charging
Standard (NACS) hardware on the vehicles beginning in 2025.
In July 2023, GM also announced that it is collaborating with six other major automakers as part of a joint venture that will seek to create a high-powered charging network with a targeted installation of at least 30,000 chargers in urban and highway locations throughout North America.
*Software-Enabled Services and Subscriptions* Our vehicles are equipped with a suite of software-enabled services, including OnStar services, Super Cruise and others.

*Cruise* GM Cruise Holdings LLC (Cruise Holdings), our majority-owned subsidiary, is pursuing the development and commercialization of AV technology.
In October 2023, a hit-and-run accident involving a pedestrian and a third-party vehicle occurred, which resulted in the pedestrian being thrown into the path of a Cruise AV.
During the resulting investigation, regulators perceived that Cruise representatives were not explicit about a secondary movement of the Cruise AV and, as a result, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) suspended Cruise’s permits to operate AVs in California without a safety driver.
Shortly thereafter, Cruise voluntarily paused all of its driverless, supervised and manual AV operations in the U.S. while it examines its processes, systems and tools.
This orderly pause is designed to rebuild public trust while Cruise undertakes a comprehensive safety review.
Risk Factors for a further discussion of the risks associated with our AV strategy.

*Electric Vehicles* We plan to rapidly scale our capacity to build one million EVs in North America and more than two million EVs globally by the end of 2025.
Our first Ultium-based products launched in 2021 with the GMC HUMMER EV and BrightDrop Zevo 600, followed by the Cadillac LYRIQ in 2022.
We plan to leverage the versatility and flexibility of Ultium to expand our EV portfolio over a wide variety of segments and price points including the Chevrolet Equinox EV, the Chevrolet Blazer EV, the Chevrolet Silverado EV and the GMC Sierra EV, which are expected to be launched over 2023 and 2024.
A fourth U.S.-based battery cell plant is also planned.
To support mass market adoption of EVs, we are working to ensure that our customers will have access to comprehensive charging solutions.
For personal vehicles, this means strategically addressing charging needs at home, the workplace and in public locations, for which we have committed to invest nearly $750 million through 2025.
For example, in November 2021, we announced a collaboration with EVgo to install 3,250 DC fast charging stalls in more than 50 U.S. metropolitan markets.
In July 2022, we announced a collaboration with EVgo and Pilot Company targeting the installation of a coast-to-coast network of 2,000 DC fast charging stalls at 50-mile intervals across the U.S., enabling long-distance corridor charging.
This network will be open to all EV brands at up to 500 Pilot and Flying J travel centers.
For fleet vehicles, we are developing turnkey charging solutions and fleet and facility energy management services.
In addition, we have announced collaborative work with several
GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
charge network operators to filter real-time data on their respective networks and charge station health into a holistic charging approach that integrates charging networks, GM vehicle mobile apps and other products and services to simplify the overall charging experience for GM EV owners in North America.
*BrightDrop* BrightDrop is developing a suite of solutions, including the BrightDrop Zevo all-electric delivery vans, BrightDrop Trace electrically propelled smart containers and the BrightDrop Core software platform, which is focused on helping companies better visualize and optimize their fleet operations.
We expect these solutions will help the world's largest delivery and logistics companies do more with less, while helping to improve operating efficiencies, eliminate operating emissions and reduce congestion.
BrightDrop delivered the first Zevo 600s to FedEx Express, our launch customer, and generated reservations and expressions of interest for Zevo vans from several major companies, including DHL Express Canada, Walmart and Merchants Fleet.
*OnStar and Vehicle Connectivity* We offer OnStar and connected services to more than 21 million connected vehicles globally through subscription-based and complimentary services.
We are among the leaders in the industry, with global real-world experience in delivering connected services and advanced safety features.
OnStar offers safety and security services for retail and fleet customers, including automatic crash response, emergency services, roadside assistance, crisis assist, stolen vehicle assistance and turn-by-turn navigation.
Additionally, we offer OnStar Guardian in select markets, a mobile app that allows customers to access key OnStar safety and security services from their compatible mobile device.
Fleet customers in some markets can leverage OnStar Vehicle Insights, our telematics solution across their entire fleet, regardless of vehicle make or model.
We also offer a variety of connected services in certain markets, including mobile apps for owners to remotely control certain vehicle features and EV owners to locate charging stations, on-demand vehicle diagnostics, GM Smart Driver, Amazon Alexa in-vehicle voice, Google's Voice Assistant, navigation and app ecosystem, connected navigation, SiriusXM with 360L, 4G LTE wireless connectivity and 5G connectivity which will be available in select model year 2024 vehicles.
We will make Super Cruise available on 22 vehicles in North America and China by the end of 2023.
Ultra Cruise is a significant next step in advanced driver assistance technology, designed to ultimately enable a hands-free driving experience in 95 percent of all driving scenarios, that will debut on the Cadillac CELESTIQ.
Ultifi and the apps it enables will empower customers to update their ownership experiences with desirable features such as services and subscriptions, vehicle performance, Super Cruise and, when launched, Ultra Cruise, safety and security features, climate and comfort options, personal themes and EV ownership experience elements.
*Cruise* General Motors and Cruise are pursuing what we believe is the most comprehensive path to autonomous mobility in the industry.
In September 2021, Cruise began operating a driverless ride hail service in San Francisco, California, and in June 2022, began charging the public for driverless rides.
Cruise continues to make regulatory progress in California.
In December 2022, Cruise received regulatory approval to expand its operational design domain in California.
Cruise is also seeking regulatory approval to add the Cruise Origin to its driverless test permit.
Additionally, in September 2022, Cruise acquired regulatory permits to operate driverless ride hail services in Phoenix, Arizona and began pursuing ride hail operations in Austin, Texas.
Given the potential of all-electric self-driving vehicles to help save lives, reshape our cities and reduce emissions, the goal of Cruise is to deliver its self-driving services as soon as possible, but as Cruise continues to expand and scale its operations, safety will continue to be the gating metric, supported by Cruise's Safety Management System and its other risk identification, assessment and mitigation processes.
We believe that building all-electric vehicles with autonomous capabilities integrated from the beginning, rather than through retrofits, is the most efficient way to unlock the tremendous potential societal benefits of self-driving cars.
The Cruise Origin, a purpose-built, all-electric, self-driving vehicle that is being co-developed by GM, Cruise and Honda Motor Company, Ltd. (Honda) will be built on GM’s all-new modular architecture, powered by the Ultium platform, at Factory ZERO starting in 2023 pending government approvals.
GM and Cruise are awaiting a decision on an exemption petition that was filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) seeking regulatory approval for the Origin’s deployment.
*HYDROTEC* We are developing hydrogen fuel cell applications across transportation types and industries, including mobile power generation, class 7/8 truck, locomotive and aerospace.
The development of HYDROTEC technology is another element of our long-term commitment toward a world with zero emissions.
We believe hydrogen fuel cells will play an important role in many automotive and other mobility applications where customers will derive additional benefits from the ability to refuel quickly, an extended range, suitability for heavier payloads and central refueling of large fleets.
GM and Honda, through our
long-term strategic alliance to collaborate in research and advanced engineering efforts, are developing and commercializing fuel cell systems.

Risk Management and Strategy
Material risks from cybersecurity threats are managed across GM, GM Financial, Cruise and third-party suppliers and vendors, and monitoring such risks and threats is integrated into the Company’s overall risk management program.
GM has a Cybersecurity Management Board that brings together representatives from senior management across the Company’s Software & Services, Product Development, Information Technology, Manufacturing, Finance, Communications, Human Resources, Legal and Public Policy organizations to provide guidance and monitor overall company cybersecurity risk.
The Company’s cybersecurity maturity scorecard, cybersecurity threats and certain incident information are reviewed by the Company’s Chief Cybersecurity Officer (CCO), the Risk and Cybersecurity Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Cybersecurity Management Board during standing meetings as well as in impromptu sessions, when appropriate.
During the reviews, various topics are discussed, which may include:
- implementation and maturity of the Company’s cybersecurity program, risk management framework, including cybersecurity risk policies, procedures and governance;
- cybersecurity and privacy risk, including potential impact to the Company’s employees, customers, supply chain, joint ventures and other stakeholders;
- intelligence briefings on notable cyber events impacting the industry; and
GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
- cybersecurity budget and resource allocation, including industry benchmarking and economic modeling of various potential cybersecurity events.
The Company maintains technical and organizational safeguards, including employee training, incident response capability reviews and exercises, cybersecurity insurance and business continuity mechanisms for the protection of the Company’s assets.
From time to time, the Company’s processes are audited and validated by internal and external experts.
The Company leverages a third-party cybersecurity program with the goal of minimizing disruption to the Company’s business and production operations, strengthening supply chain resilience in response to cyber-related events and supporting the integrity of components and systems used in its products and services.
As cybersecurity incidents occur, the GM Cybersecurity team focuses on responding to and containing the threat and minimizing any business impact, as appropriate.
In the event of an incident, the Cybersecurity team assesses, among other factors, safety impact, supply chain and manufacturing disruption, data and personal information loss, business operations disruption, projected cost and potential for reputational harm, with support from external technical, legal and law enforcement support, as appropriate.
In the last three fiscal years, the Company has not experienced any material cybersecurity incidents and expenses incurred from cybersecurity incidents were immaterial (including penalties and settlements, of which there were none).
For a discussion of whether and how any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations or financial condition, see Item 1A.
Risk Factors – "Risks related to our intellectual property, cybersecurity, information technology and data management practices", which are incorporated by reference into this Item 1C.
Governance
The GM Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s enterprise risk, and has established its Risk and Cybersecurity Committee with specific responsibility for overseeing cybersecurity threats, among other things.
The Company’s cybersecurity organization is led by the CCO, who is responsible for assessing and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats and reports to GM’s Executive Vice President, Legal, Policy, Cybersecurity, and Corporate Secretary as well as to the Risk and Cybersecurity Committee.
The CCO has served in this role for four years, and has more than 11 years of experience in various roles involving managing cybersecurity functions, developing cybersecurity strategies to protect privacy, customer safety and intellectual property, and developing key capabilities such as product security engineering, risk management and cybersecurity governance.
The CCO holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a master’s degree in systems engineering, with over 10 years of previous software and hardware systems engineering experience.
The CCO chairs the Automotive – Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) and serves on the Department of Homeland Security – Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS-CISA) Advisory Committee.
The CCO and the Cybersecurity Management Board monitor the prevention, mitigation, detection and remediation of cybersecurity incidents through their management of, and participation in, the cybersecurity risk management and strategy processes described above, including through the operation of the Company’s incident response plans, which include escalation to the CCO and the Cybersecurity Management Board, as appropriate.
As discussed above, the CCO reports out to the Risk and Cybersecurity Committee about cybersecurity threat risks, among other cybersecurity related matters, at least quarterly.

We are also entitled to certain advanced manufacturing production credits under the IRA.
The benefit from both refundable and nonrefundable advanced manufacturing production credits are not accounted for or classified as an income tax credit.
Benefits are generally recorded when there is reasonable assurance of receipt or, as it relates to advance manufacturing production credits, upon the generation of the credit.
Income tax effects are released from Accumulated other comprehensive loss using the specific-identification method.
Certain receive-fixed, pay-float interest rate swap agreements have been designated and qualify as fair value hedges of our fixed-rate debt.
The risk being hedged is the risk of changes in the fair value of the hedged debt attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate.
The changes in both the fair value of the hedged debt and the hedging instrument are recorded in Automotive interest expense.
When a fair value hedge is de-designated, or when the derivative is terminated prior to maturity, the fair value adjustment to the hedged debt continues to be reported as part of the carrying value of the debt and is recognized in Automotive interest expense over its remaining life.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are grouped separately for purposes of measuring the allowance.
The allowance for TDRs uses static pool modeling techniques like non-TDR retail finance receivables to determine the expected loss amount.
The expected cash flows of the receivables are then discounted at the original weighted average effective interest rate of the pool.
Factors considered when estimating the allowance for TDRs are based on an evaluation of historical and current information, which may be supplemented by management judgment.
Finance charge income from loans classified as TDRs is accounted for in the same manner as other accruing loans.
Cash collections on these loans are allocated according to the same payment hierarchy methodology applied to loans that are not classified as TDRs.
forecasted auction proceeds when there is a reliable basis to make such a determination.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective October 1, 2022, we adopted Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions" (ASU 2022-03), which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring fair value.
The adoption of ASU 2022-03 was insignificant to our consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2022-02 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" (ASU 2022-02), which eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs and enhances certain disclosure requirements.
We adopted ASU 2022-02 on a modified retrospective basis on January 1, 2023.
The impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-02 was insignificant.
