General Motors (NYSE: GM) today announced its financial results for the
second quarter of 2008, which include significant charges and special items.
The reported net loss was
GM previously announced that it anticipated a significant second quarter
loss, driven in large part by costs associated with the American Axle and
local U.S. strikes, and charges related to the successful U.S. hourly
attrition program, actions to reduce North American truck capacity, Delphi and
other matters. The operating and liquidity actions announced on
Some of those actions include cessation of production at four truck plants, shift reductions at two truck plants, the addition of shifts at two car plants, announcement of the new Chevrolet global small car program and next generation Chevrolet Aveo compact car, introduction of a high-efficiency 4-cylinder engine for U.S. application, salaried headcount reductions and compensation actions, deferral of certain payments to the UAW VEBA, suspension of the dividend on common stock, reductions in sales and marketing budgets, the strategic review of the Hummer brand and production funding approval for the Chevrolet Volt extended range electric vehicle.
"As our recent product, capacity and liquidity actions clearly
demonstrate, we are reacting rapidly to the challenges facing the U.S. economy
and auto market, and we continue to take the aggressive steps necessary to
transform our U.S. operations," said GM Chairman and CEO
GM's second quarter results were primarily driven by several factors: significant losses in GM North America (GMNA) due to continuing U.S. industry volume declines and shifts in vehicle mix, the long strike at American Axle and large lease-related charges; a number of special charges associated with GM's ongoing restructuring actions; continued losses at GMAC Financial Services (GMAC) and updated estimates regarding recoveries and expectations of assumed benefit obligations in the Delphi bankruptcy.
GM recorded
-- $3.3 billion relating to the 2008 GMNA hourly special attrition program
-- $2.8 billion adjustment to the Delphi reserve
-- $1.1 billion GMNA restructuring and capacity related costs
-- $1.3 billion impairment of GM's equity interest in GMAC
-- $340 million Canadian Auto Workers contract-related accounting charges
-- $197 million related to settlement of the strike at American Axle
Details on these and all other special items are in the financial highlights section of this release.

impairments were required based on current fair value estimates. Factors
considered include continued deterioration in the mortgage and consumer credit
markets and a more challenging North American automotive financing
environment. As a result, GM recorded impairment charges totaling

Forward Looking Statements
In these and following presentations and in related comments by General Motors management, we will use words like "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "objective," "plan," "goal," "project," "outlook," "targets," and similar expressions to identify forward looking statements that represent our current judgments about possible future events. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors.
Among other items, such factors include: our ability to realize production efficiencies, to reduce costs and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management; market acceptance of our products; shortages of and price increases for fuel; declines in the residual values of used and off- lease vehicles; significant changes in the competitive environment and the effect of competition on our markets, including on our pricing policies; our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt; 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; negotiations and bankruptcy court actions with respect to obligations owed to us by Delphi Corporation, a key supplier; possible downgrades for GMAC or ResCap by rating agencies; developments in the residential mortgage market, especially the nonprime sector; and changes in general economic conditions such as price increases or shortages of fuel, steel, or other raw materials.
GM's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K (which are incorporated by reference) provide additional information about these factors, which we may revise or supplement in future reports to the SEC on Form 10-Q or 8-K.
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): (1) adjusted net income; (2)
adjusted earnings before tax; (3) managerial cash flow; and (4) GM North
America vehicle revenue per unit. Each of these financial measures
excludes the effect 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 comparable to 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 Corporation
(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.
General Motors Corporation
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued)
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 of the 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, plant closure charges and impairments. 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: (1) the 2008 special
attrition program agreements between GM and the International Union,
United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Workers of America (UAW)
and GM and the International Union of Electronic, Electrical,
Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers (IUE) (collectively, 2008
Special Attrition Programs); and (2) the 2006 special attrition
program agreement among GM, the UAW and Delphi (2006 Special Attrition
Program). 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 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.
General Motors Corporation
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Concluded)
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.

List of Special Items
2008
(Unaudited)
(A) Relates to various restructuring initiatives and the 2008 Special
Attrition Programs. Charges recorded by region are as follows:
GMNA: Second quarter charges of $3.3 billion were recorded for the
2008 Special Attrition Programs, including: (1) a $2.4 billion
curtailment loss on the U.S. hourly pension plan due to a reduction
in the expected aggregate years of future service as a result of
employees accepting the voluntary program; (2) $633 million for
special termination benefits and retirement incentive payments
paid from the overfunded U.S. hourly pension plan; and (3) $312
million for cash payments to separating employees or those taking
preretirement leave. We have recorded year to date charges of
$3.5 billion for preretirement and retirement pension and benefit
incentives and cash buyouts for employees leaving under the 2008
Special Attrition Programs.
During the second quarter, we also recorded charges of $1.1 billion
for additional wage and benefit costs related to the recently
announced capacity actions and plant idlings in the U.S. and Canada.
GME: Second quarter charges of $79 million and year to date charges
of $202 million were recognized for separation programs, primarily in
Belgium, France, Germany and Sweden.
GMAP: Second quarter and year to date charges of $98 million were
recorded for the closure of the Family II engine plant at GM Holden,
Ltd. (GM Holden), which was announced in June 2008.
(B) Second quarter charges of $2.8 billion and year to date charges of
$3.5 billion were recorded for increased liabilities under our Delphi
Benefit Guarantee Agreements, primarily due to expectations of
increased obligations and updated estimates reflecting the nature,
value and timing of our recoveries upon Delphi's emergence from
bankruptcy.
(C) Second quarter charges of $1.3 billion and year to date charges of
$2.8 billion to record impairments of our investment in Common and
Preferred Membership Interests of GMAC LLC.
(D) Relates to a change in the estimate of the amortization period
for pension prior service costs related to our hourly defined
benefit pension plan in Canada. In conjunction with our 2008
Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) labor agreement, we determined that
the three year contractual life of the labor agreement is a
better reflection of the period of future economic benefit
received from pension plan amendments for our collectively
bargained hourly pension plans. We recorded a second quarter
charge of $340 million for additional pension expense related
to the unamortized prior service costs from prior CAW labor
contracts.
(E) Relates to our agreement to provide upfront support to American
Axle to end the work stoppage that affected approximately 30 GM
plants in North America. Our support partially funds American Axle's
costs associated with UAW employee buyouts, early retirements
and buydowns.
(F) Relates to a second quarter gain of $50 million on the sale of our
common equity interest in Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc.
(G) Relates to a first quarter net charge for a valuation allowance
on GM's net deferred tax assets in Spain and the United Kingdom.
