General Motors Corp. today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2008, marked by improved adjusted automotive operating performance, rapid growth in emerging markets, continued cost performance in GM North America (GMNA) operations and liquidity of nearly $24 billion, despite the impact of the American Axle strike on North American operations and weakness in the U.S. auto industry.
"We continue to leverage our global product portfolio to take advantage of tremendous growth in key emerging markets, while at the same time taking the appropriate actions to deal with the challenging economic conditions in the U.S.," said GM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Rick Wagoner.
Reflecting several special items noted below, GM reported a net loss of $3.3 billion, or $5.74 per share in the first quarter of 2008, compared with a net loss from continuing operations of $42 million, or $.07 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted automotive earnings before taxes were $392 million, up $161 million despite the significant impact of the American Axle strike and weak U.S. auto industry (reported earnings declined $118 million). These positive results were driven by strong combined earnings before taxes of $1 billion in GM Latin America, Africa and Middle East (GMLAAM), GM Asia Pacific (GMAP) and GM Europe (GME), which more than offset a loss at GMNA.
Excluding special items, GM posted an adjusted net loss of $350 million, or $.62 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008, reflecting losses at GMAC and tax expenses. These results compare to an adjusted net loss from continuing operations of $10 million, or $0.01 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2007.
The reported results for the first quarter of 2008 include unfavorable special items totaling $2.9 billion. The charges include $1.45 billion to record a non-cash partial impairment of our equity investment in GMAC. Based on current market pricing, GM concluded that the estimated fair value of the common and preferred equity interests it holds in GMAC were approximately $1.45 billion less than GM's carrying value.
GM also took a non-cash charge of $731 million to increase GM's liability for estimated net costs associated with GM's support of Delphi's bankruptcy and restructuring efforts. This charge primarily results from updated estimates reflecting uncertainty around the nature, value and timing of GM's recoveries. In addition, GM recorded $394 million in non-cash tax-related valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets in Europe, and $324 million in charges related to previously-announced restructuring actions in North America and Europe. Details on all of the special items are included in the "Highlights" section of this news release.
GM's total revenue for the first quarter of 2008 was $42.7 billion, down slightly from $43.4 billion in the year-ago quarter primarily due to lower North America automotive and financial services and insurance revenues. Automotive revenues outside of North America were up over 20 percent, with strong growth in China, Brazil, Russia and India.
As reported in the fourth quarter of 2007, and reflected in the remainder of this release, GM now reports its automotive operations and regional results on an earnings-before-tax basis, with taxes reported on a total corporate basis.
GM Automotive Operations
Adjusted profits from GM's global automotive operations improved, with first quarter 2008 earnings before tax of $392 million on an adjusted basis (reported earnings before tax of $68 million), compared to $231 million in the year-ago period (reported earnings before tax of $186 million).
GM sold 2.25 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2008, down less than one percent from 2.27 million units in the first quarter 2007, with a record 64 percent of sales outside of the United States. Unit sales outside GMNA were up 8 percent compared with the same quarter last year. Robust sales in the first quarter in GM's GMLAAM and GMAP regions, and improved sales in the GME region helped offset a 10 percent unit decline in GMNA.
GMNA
First Quarter
2008 2007 '08 O/(U) '07
Revenue (Bils.) $24.5 $28.1 $(3.6)
Adjusted Earnings Before
Tax (Mils.) $(611) $(269) $(342)
Reported Earnings Before
Tax (Mils.) $(812) $(208) $(604)
GM Market Share 21.7% 22.5% (0.8) p.p
GMNA revenue for the first quarter 2008 was $24.5 billion, compared to $28.1 billion in the year-ago period. The decline in GMNA first quarter revenue was significantly impacted by the lost production due to the American Axle strike. Other factors include a softer U.S. market and planned actions to maintain lean inventories. With the industry shift toward more fuel- efficient vehicles, GM's most recently launched passenger cars and crossovers, including the Cadillac CTS, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and the all-new Chevrolet Malibu continue to perform well in the marketplace.
The decline in GMNA first quarter earnings was more than accounted for by
the loss of 100,000 production units resulting from the American Axle strike,
which had an estimated impact to earnings of $0.8 billion. Other factors
included lower volumes resulting from a softer U.S. market and lower market
share, as well as shifts in product mix. Partially offsetting the declines
were favorable material and structural cost performance and commodity hedging
gains and foreign exchange.

GM Market Share 9.6% 9.7% (0.1) p.p
GME Revenue was up 17 percent and adjusted earnings before tax improved by $137 million. GME's improved earnings for the first quarter were driven by improved material cost performance, commodity hedging gains and reduced warranty costs, which were partially offset by negative foreign exchange and unfavorable country mix. GME had record first-quarter sales volumes of 572,000 units.
GMLAAM
First Quarter
2008 2007 '08 O/(U) '07
Revenue (Bils.) $4.8 $3.6 $1.2

Reported Earnings Before
Tax (Mils.) $517 $254 $263
GM Market Share 17.9% 16.7% 1.2 p.p.
Adjusted earnings before tax in the GMLAAM region more than doubled in the
first quarter of 2008, driven by continued strong market growth and gains in
GM market share in the region. GMLAAM revenue was up over 33 percent and
volumes were up 20 percent, setting new first-quarter records for both unit
sales and revenue. In addition, Argentina, Egypt and North Africa each set
new quarterly sales records.
GMAP
First Quarter
2008 2007 '08 O/(U) '07
Revenue (Bils.) $5.5 $4.6 $.9
Adjusted Earnings Before
Tax (Mils.) $286 $192 $94
Reported Earnings Before
Tax (Mils.) $286 $143 $143
GM Market Share 7.0% 7.2% (0.2) p.p.
GMAP adjusted earnings before tax increased by 49 percent, driven by strong volume and improvements in material cost performance, which were partially offset by mix and pricing deterioration and increased structural costs incurred to support growth. Revenue and earnings before tax improved significantly due to the overall volume gains, although market share was down slightly primarily due to declines in China, Australia and Korea.
GMAC
On a standalone basis, GMAC Financial Services reported a net loss of $589 million for the first quarter 2008, primarily due to significant declines in the international mortgage operation of Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap). The company's global automotive and insurance businesses posted profits. GM reported an adjusted loss before taxes of $276 million for the quarter attributable to GMAC, as a result of its 49 percent equity interest and preferred dividends. While continued volatility in the capital and credit markets put pressure on first quarter results, GMAC continues to take actions to reduce risk, streamline its cost structure and preserve liquidity in an effort to protect franchise value.
Cash and Liquidity
Cash, marketable securities, and readily-available assets of the Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust totaled $23.9 billion on March 31, 2008, down from $24.7 billion on March 31, 2007. The change in liquidity reflects adjusted negative operating cash flow of $3.6 billion in the first quarter 2008. The decrease was driven largely by lower production in GMNA, including the impact of the American Axle strike. Including undrawn, committed U.S. credit facilities of approximately $7 billion, GM has access to more than $30 billion in liquidity.
Looking Forward
In light of the current state of the U.S. economy and automotive industry, GM has revised its 2008 U.S. total industry seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) outlook to the mid to high 15 million unit range, down from the low 16 million unit range. As a result of the anticipated softer automotive industry, GM announced earlier this week that it will eliminate a shift of production at four assembly plants: Janesville, WI; Pontiac and Flint, MI and Oshawa, Ont.
"We remain focused on taking the actions necessary to assure GM's long- term success - product excellence, leadership in advanced propulsion technology, growth in emerging markets, and accelerating the restructuring of our U.S. business to achieve sustainable profitability," said Wagoner.
Results for the first quarter of 2008 are preliminary and may be revised prior to the filing of GM's first quarter report on Form 10-Q in May.
Forward-looking Statements
In this press release and in related comments by our management, our use of the words "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "goal," "target," "believe," "improve," "intend," "potential," "continue," "designed," "opportunity," "risk," "may," "would," "could," "should" 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. Such factors include, among others: our ability to realize production efficiencies, to achieve reductions in costs and to implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management; market acceptance of our products; shortages of and price increases for fuel; significant changes in the competitive environment and the effect of competition in our markets, including on our pricing policies; our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt; ; labor strikes or work stoppages at our facilities or at our key suppliers; financial difficulties of our key suppliers; adoption of new laws or changes in existing laws that may affect the production, licensing, distribution, cost or sale of our products; the final results of investigations and inquiries by the SEC; court approval of the settlement agreement with the UAW and UAW retirees related to the 2007 National Agreement; satisfaction of the conditions to the effectiveness of the post-retirement healthcare benefit plan contemplated by the 2007 National Agreement; and changes in economic conditions, fuel prices, the housing market, commodity prices, currency exchange rates or political stability in the markets in which we operate. In addition, GMAC's actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors including, among others, the following: possible downgrades for GMAC or ResCap by rating agencies; inability to maintain adequate financing sources for its substantial capital needs; credit exposure to us and recent developments in the residential mortgage market, especially in the nonprime sector. The most recent reports on SEC Forms 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K filed by us or GMAC provide information about these and other factors, which may be revised or supplemented in future reports to the SEC on those forms.
General Motors Corporation
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release, the accompanying tables and the charts for securities
analysts include the following financial measures, which are not
prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in
the United States of America (GAAP): (a) adjusted net income, (b)
adjusted earnings before tax, (c) managerial cash flow and (d) GM North
America vehicle revenue per unit. Each of these financial measures
excludes the impact of certain items and therefore are considered non-
GAAP financial measures. This press release and the charts for securities
analysts also contain a reconciliation of each presented non-GAAP
financial measure to its most comparable GAAP financial measure.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful
supplemental information regarding GM's operating results because they
exclude amounts that GM management does not consider part of operating
results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial
performance of the organization. In addition, GM has historically
reported similar non-GAAP financial measures and believes that inclusion
of these non-GAAP financial measures provides consistency and
comparability with past earnings releases. GM management believes these
measures allow it to readily view operating trends, perform analytical
comparisons, benchmark performance among geographic regions and assess
whether the GM North American structural cost turnaround plan is on
target. Also, GM management uses adjusted net income and adjusted
earnings before tax for forecasting purposes and in determining our
future capital investment allocations. Accordingly, GM believes these
non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for
greater transparency of supplemental information used by management in
its financial and operational decision-making.
While GM believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful
supplemental information, there are limitations associated with the use
of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures
are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive
system of accounting and may not be comparableto similarly titled
measures of other companies due to potential differences in the method of
calculation between companies. Costs such as the special attrition
programs and restructuring charges that are excluded from GM's non-GAAP
financial measures can have a material impact on net earnings. As a
result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should not
be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net earnings,
cash flow from operations, or other measures of performance or liquidity
prepared in accordance with GAAP. GM compensates for these limitations by
using these non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial
measures and by reviewing the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial
measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. Investors are
encouraged to review the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial
measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures that are
included elsewhere in this press release.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Before Tax
Adjusted net income excludes charges for certain tax related items,
gains and losses on the sale of business units and business interests,
charges associated with accounting changes, restructuring, plant closure
and impairment charges, charges associated with Delphi Corp. (Delphi) and
special attrition program charges.
Adjusted earnings before tax begins with adjusted net income and is
adjusted to remove any remaining tax expense or benefit.
The following is a discussion of each adjustment to net income or loss
determined in accordance with GAAP to arrive at adjusted net income and
adjusted earnings before tax, as applicable:
- Tax charges. Charges associated with establishing valuation allowances
on GM's deferred tax assets are excluded from adjusted net income. In
addition, other tax related items may be periodically excluded from
adjusted net income as these charges are incurred and specifically
identified in that period. Management believes the exclusion of these
tax charges from adjusted net income is useful because management does
not consider these charges part of GM's core earnings in evaluating
the performance of the business and excludes these costs when
evaluating the performance ofthe Corporation, its business units and
its management team and when making decisions to allocate resources
among GM's business units.
- Gains and losses on the sale of business units and business interests.
The gains and losses on the sale of business units and business
interests are excluded from adjusted net income and adjusted
earnings before tax. While GM is involved in sales of its business
units and business interests from time-to-time and may have
significant gains or losses from such sales in the future, such
events have historically occurred sporadically. Management
excludes the gains and losses associated with these events when
it evaluates the Corporation's operations and for internal
reporting and forecasting purposes and for allocation of additional
resources.
- Changes in accounting. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude
charges associated with changes in accounting. Management believes
the exclusion of changes in accounting from adjusted net income
and adjusted earnings before tax is useful because management
does not consider these non-recurring charges part of GM's core
earnings. Accordingly, management excludes such costs when
evaluating the performance of the Corporation, its business
units and its management teams and when making decisions to allocate
resources among GM's business units.
- Restructuring, impairments, idling and plant closure charges.
Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude exit costs and related
charges, primarily consisting of severance costs, lease abandonment
costs, product specific asset impairments, any subsequent changes
in estimates related to exit activities and goodwill and
other asset impairment charges. Management believes the
exclusion of restructuring and impairment charges from adjusted net
income and adjusted earnings before tax is useful because
management does not consider these costs part of GM's core earnings
in evaluating GM's operational managers and the exclusion permits
investors to evaluate the performance of our management the
same way management does. Additionally, management excludes
restructuring and impairment charges in determining the
allocation of resources,such as capital investments, among the
Corporation's business units and as part of its forecasting and
budgeting.
- Delphi charges. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the
estimated charges associated with the benefit guarantees and
comprehensive settlement agreements entered into with Delphi in
connection with the restructuring of Delphi's operations.
Management does not consider these costs as part of its core
earnings for purposes of evaluating the performance of the
business, and excludes such costs when evaluating the performance
of the Corporation, its business units and its management teams
and when making decisions to allocate resources among GM's business
units.
- Special attrition program charges. Our non-GAAP financial
measures exclude the estimated charges associated with the 2008
special attrition program agreement between the UAW and GM and
the 2006 special attrition program agreement among the UAW,
GM and Delphi. Management believes it is useful in evaluating the
performance of GM, its management teams and its business units
during a particular time period to exclude charges associated
with the special attrition programs. Accordingly, management does
not consider these costs as part of its core earnings, and excludes
such costs when evaluating the performance of the Corporation,
its business units and its management teams and when making
decisions to allocate resources among GM's business units.
Managerial Cash Flow
GM also reports non-GAAP managerial automotive operating cash flow in
its earnings releases and charts for securities analysts. Management
believes that providing managerial automotive operating cash flow
furnishes it and investors with useful information by representing the
cash flow generated or consumed by its automotive operations, including
cash consumed by automotive capital expenditures and equity investments
in companies related to our core business and cash generated by sales of
automotive operating assets and equity investments in companies related
to GM's core business, before funding non-operating-related obligations
including debt maturities, dividends and other non-operating items.
Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to assess its automotive
cash flow when evaluating the performance of GM, its business units and
its management teams and when making decisions to allocate resources
among GM's business units.
GM North America Vehicle Revenue per Unit
GM's charts for securities analysts also include the use of a non-GAAP
measure of revenue per vehicle. Management uses revenue per vehicle to
track operating efficiency and to facilitate comparisons between periods
and between manufacturers, and believes that it provides valuable
information to investors who are interested in identifying trends and
comparing different companies. Revenue per vehicle includes certain
vehicle sales to other GM regions that are excluded from GAAP reporting,
and excludes non-vehicle sales such as service parts and operations and
OnStar service, and other income that GM does not derive from the sale of
vehicles, such as fees on the GM credit card. Also, while they are not
treated as sales under GAAP reporting because of GM's repurchase
obligations, management includes sales to daily car rental companies in
revenue per vehicle.

(A) Relates to a charge to record impairments of GM's investment in
Common and Preferred Membership Interests of GMAC LLC. During the
period, GM determined that these investments were impaired and that
such impairment was not temporary in nature. Due to the uncertainty
regarding the timing of a recovery, if any, in valuation, GM reduced
the carrying value of these investments to estimated fair value.
(B) Charge primarily results from updated estimates reflecting the
uncertainty around the nature, value and timing of GM's recoveries
upon Delphi's emergence from bankruptcy.
(C) Relates to various restructuring initiatives and the 2008 Special
Attrition Program. Charges recorded by region are as follows:
GMNA: Charges of $201 million for retirement pension and benefit
