General Motors (GM) — Financial Snapshot

Income Statement Summary

Metric FY2022 FY2023 FY2024 YoY
Revenue $156.7B $171.8B $187.4B +9.1%
Gross Margin ~12.0% ~12.2% ~12.4% +0.2pp
Operating Margin (GAAP) ~5.2% ~6.8% ~4.9% -1.9pp
Net Income (attrib.) $9.9B ~$10.1B $6.0B -41%
EBIT-Adjusted $14.5B ~$12.4B $14.9B +20%

Note: GAAP net income in FY2024 was significantly impacted by Cruise restructuring charges (~$7.6B cumulative EV-related special charges in 2025) and EV capacity write-downs. EBIT-adjusted ($14.9B in FY2024) is management's preferred metric and excludes these items. GM maintains the #1 U.S. market share position with 2.9M domestic deliveries in 2024.

Cash Flow & Balance Sheet (FY2024)

Metric Value
Operating Cash Flow ~$18B (automotive + GM Financial)
Adjusted Automotive FCF ~$5B
Cash & Liquidity ~$35B (automotive cash + credit facilities)
Total Automotive Debt ~$25B

Note: GM Financial carries ~$100B+ in separate balance sheet financing debt (normal for a captive auto lender); automotive segment net cash is positive.

Key Ratios (approximate)

  • P/E: ~5-6x (forward, adjusted) | EV/EBITDA: ~4x | FCF Yield: ~10%
  • Revenue Growth (FY2024): +9.1% | Adjusted EBIT Margin: ~8%
  • Dividend Yield: ~1.0%

Growth Profile

GM's revenue growth is driven by pricing power in trucks/SUVs and mix improvement toward higher-margin vehicles, partially offset by declining China sales (SAIC-GM JV equity income has fallen sharply as domestic EV brands take share). Adjusted EBIT margins in North America run 8–10%, but the EV portfolio is still loss-making ($5B+ in EV losses in FY2024). Software and services revenue is growing toward $3.5B in FY2025 as OnStar and Super Cruise subscriber counts rise. The company targets EV profitability on a variable profit basis by late 2025.

Forward Estimates

  • FY2025E: Net income $11.2B–$12.5B (guidance); EBIT-adjusted $13.7B–$15.7B
  • FY2026E: EPS-diluted-adjusted $11–$13 (guidance); EBIT-adjusted $13–$15B
  • Key risk: Full-size pickup model transition (H2 2026) and tariff/commodity cost inflation ($1.5–2.0B impact guided in 2026)
