Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Basis of Presentation This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Form 10-K.
Forward-looking statements in this MD&A are not guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" section of this MD&A and Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties. Except for per share amounts or as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions. Certain columns and rows may not add due to rounding.
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, personal AV technology, software-enabled services and other new business opportunities. To support strong margins and cash flow during this transition, we continue to strengthen our market position in profitable ICE vehicles, such as trucks and SUVs. We plan to execute our strategy with a steadfast commitment to good corporate citizenship through more sustainable operations and a leading health and safety culture.
Our financial performance continues to be driven by the strength of our vehicle portfolio including high margin full-size pickup trucks and SUVs, strong consumer demand for our products and the execution of our core business strategy. We remain focused on maintaining an efficient cost structure and pricing discipline. We continue to prioritize driving down costs and building scale in our EV portfolio to improve profitability. In February 2025, we completed the acquisition of the noncontrolling interests in Cruise and are prioritizing the development of ADAS on a path to fully autonomous personal vehicles. We are monitoring industry pricing pressures, changing interest rates, inflation, warranty claims, consumer demand trends, potential changes to the regulatory environment, including with respect to fuel economy standards, GHG emissions regulations, corporate taxes and EV incentives.
In the first quarter of 2025, the U.S. Government announced new tariffs, inclusive of vehicles and parts imported into the U.S. The tariff environment remains highly dynamic and the specific tariffs applicable to goods imported by GM and its suppliers into the U.S., including under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, continue to evolve, as do import tariffs charged by other countries. Based on the current tariff environment, we estimate that impacts to EBIT-adjusted could range from $4.0 billion to $5.0 billion for the year ending December 31, 2025. Refer to Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors for a full discussion of the risks associated with the U.S. tariff environment.
As we continue to assess our performance and the needs of our evolving business, additional restructuring and rationalization actions could be required. These actions could give rise to future asset impairments or other charges, which may have a material impact on our operating results. Refer to the "Consolidated Results" and regional sections of this MD&A for additional information.
We face continuing market, operating and regulatory challenges in several countries across the globe due to, among other factors, competitive pressures, our product portfolio offerings, heightened emission standards, labor disruptions, foreign exchange volatility, evolving trade policy and political uncertainty. Refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of these challenges.
For the year ending December 31, 2025, we expect Net income attributable to stockholders of between $8.2 billion and $10.1 billion, EBIT-adjusted of between $10.0 billion and $12.5 billion, EPS-diluted of between $8.82 and $10.57 and EPS-diluted-adjusted of between $8.25 and $10.00. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures" section of this MD&A for additional information.

GMNA Industry sales in North America were 5.0 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of 4.7% compared to the corresponding period in 2024. U.S. industry sales were 4.0 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of 4.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2024.
Our total vehicle sales in the U.S., our largest market in North America, were 0.7 million units for market share of 17.2% in the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of 1.8 percentage points compared to the corresponding period in 2024.
We achieved strong margins in the three months ended March 31, 2025 driven by the strength of our product portfolio and ongoing cost discipline. However, the evolving tariff and policy landscape could have a material impact on our profitability going forward. We remain focused on improving our EV profitability while maintaining our focus on cost. In addition, our outlook is dependent on continued supply chain availability, the resiliency of the U.S. economy and overall economic conditions, including the imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions by the U.S. or its trading partners.
GMI Industry sales in China were 5.8 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of 2.9% compared to the corresponding period in 2024. Our total vehicle sales in China were 0.4 million units for market share of 7.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing a decrease of 0.2 percentage points compared to the corresponding period in 2024. Our Automotive China JVs generated insignificant equity income in the three months ended March 31, 2025. We continue to focus on executing restructuring plans which may result in additional restructuring charges and enhancing the competitiveness of our products in the Chinese market going forward.
Outside of China, industry sales were 6.5 million units in the three months ended March 31, 2025, representing an increase of

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no significant changes in our exposure to market risk since December 31, 2024. For further discussion on market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A. of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2025 as required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about environmental proceedings if a governmental authority is a party to such proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe will exceed a stated threshold. Pursuant to the SEC regulations, the Company will use a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required.
The discussion under Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We face a number of significant risks and uncertainties in connection with our operations. Our business and the results of our operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected by these risk factors. There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K, other than as set forth below in this Item 1A.
The U.S. Government has introduced new tariffs applicable to the automotive industry. Such tariffs, and similar tariffs imposed by other governments, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. The U.S. Government has introduced new tariffs and tariff-related measures, including tariffs specifically related to the automotive industry. The U.S. tariff environment remains highly dynamic and the specific tariffs applicable to goods imported by GM into the U.S., including under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, continue to evolve. Import tariffs charged by other countries in which GM does business may also change. As a result, we cannot predict with precision the breadth of tariffs and related costs that will ultimately impact GM, but such costs could be substantial and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and our expected financial results. Based on the ultimate scope, nature and duration of any tariffs implemented, we may take various mitigating actions, such as making changes to our U.S. production plan and reducing or pausing imports, which may not fully offset the impact of tariffs. Tariffs could also cause supply chain disruptions globally, potentially resulting in increased production costs, the inability to receive certain critical parts, increased vehicle prices, reduced incentives and/or lost vehicle production volumes. We may also need to make material changes to our global production footprint and workforce, which could require significant capital expenditures and could result in asset impairments and other charges, including restructuring charges, any of which could be material. These or similar actions may lead to a decrease in our demand and/or market share, and such decreases could be material.

(a)Shares purchased include shares delivered by employees or directors to us for the payment of taxes resulting from the issuance of common stock upon the vesting of RSUs and PSUs relating to compensation plans. Refer to our 2024 Form 10-K for additional details on employee stock incentive plans.
(b)In February 2025, our Board of Directors increased the capacity under our existing share repurchase program by $6.0 billion to an aggregate of $6.3 billion, with no expiration, and approved an ASR program to repurchase an aggregate amount of $2.0 billion of our common stock. In February 2025, pursuant to the ASR Agreements, we advanced the $2.0 billion and received and immediately retired 33 million shares of our common stock worth $1.6 billion (80% of the aggregate purchase price based on a $48.46 per share closing share price of our common stock on February 26, 2025). The final number of shares received under the ASR program will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the term of the ASR Agreements, less a discount pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR Agreements, and is expected to occur no later than June 30, 2025.
