GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1. Nature of Operations

General Motors Company, is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “we,” “our,” “us,” “ourselves,” the “Company,” “General Motors,” or “GM.” General Motors Corporation is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the periods on or before July 9, 2009, as “Old GM.” Old GM was renamed Motors Liquidation Company (MLC), which was dissolved on December 15, 2011 and transferred its remaining assets and liabilities to the Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust (GUC Trust).

We design, build and sell cars, trucks and automobile parts worldwide. We also provide automotive financing services through General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial).

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and GM Financial. Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes investments in Ally Financial, Inc. (Ally Financial), certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Standards

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, composed of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 as filed with the SEC.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of revenue and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.

Venezuelan Exchange Regulations

Our Venezuelan subsidiaries utilize the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency because of the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. The Venezuelan government has foreign exchange control regulations which make it more difficult to convert Bolivar Fuerte (BsF) to U.S. Dollars. These regulations affect our Venezuelan subsidiaries' ability to pay non-BsF denominated obligations that do not qualify to be processed by the Venezuela currency exchange agency at the official exchange rates.

The aggregate net assets denominated in BsF at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $713 million and $940 million which included monetary assets of $1.3 billion and $1.6 billion and monetary liabilities of $0.9 billion and $1.1 billion . At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 other consolidated entities have receivables from our Venezuelan subsidiaries denominated in other currencies of $299 million and $224 million . The total amounts pending government approval for settlement at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were BsF 3.3 billion (equivalent to $555 million ) and BsF 2.2 billion (equivalent to $523 million ), for which some requests have been pending from 2007.

In February 2013 the Venezuelan government announced that the official fixed exchange rate of BsF 4.3 to $1.00 changed to BsF 6.3 to $1.00 effective February 13, 2013. The devaluation required remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiaries' non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The remeasurement resulted in a charge of $162 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

We believe it is possible that the Venezuelan government may further devalue the BsF against the U.S. dollar in the future. If the BsF were devalued further, it would result in a charge to our income statement in the period of devaluation. Based on our

6


GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

March 31, 2013 net monetary assets, a further devaluation of the BsF by 1 BsF to $1.00 would result in a charge of approximately $50 million .

Recently Adopted Accounting Principles

In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This ASU does not change current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income (OCI) in financial statements; rather, it requires certain disclosures of the amount of reclassifications of items from OCI to net income by component. The related disclosures are presented in Note 20 .

Note 3. Acquisition of Businesses

Acquisition of SAIC GM Investment Limited

In September 2012 we obtained control of SAIC GM Investment Limited, the holding company of General Motors India Private Limited and Chevrolet Sales India Private Limited (collectively HKJV) through a series of transactions that resulted in us owning a 90.8% interest and we consolidated HKJV effective September 1, 2012.

Acquisition of GMAC South America LLC

In March 2012 we acquired from Ally Financial for cash of $29 million 100% of the outstanding equity interests of GMAC South America LLC whose only asset is GMAC de Venezuela CA (GMAC Venezuela) comprising the business and operations of Ally Financial in Venezuela. This acquisition provides us with a captive finance offering in Venezuela which we believe is important in maintaining market position and will provide continued sources of financing for our Venezuela dealers and customers. We recorded the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 1, 2012 , the date we obtained control, and have included GMAC Venezuela's results of operations and cash flows from that date forward.

Note 4. Marketable Securities

We measure the fair value of our marketable securities using a market approach where identical or comparable prices are available and an income approach in other cases. We obtain the majority of the prices used in this valuation from a pricing service. Our pricing service utilizes industry standard pricing models that consider various inputs, including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads and benchmark securities as well as other relevant economic measures. We conduct an annual review of valuations provided by our pricing service, which includes discussion and analysis of the inputs used by the pricing service to provide prices for the types of securities we hold. These inputs include prices for comparable securities, bid/ask quotes, interest rate yields and prepayment spreads. Based on our review we believe the prices received from our pricing service are a reliable representation of exit prices. We measure the fair value of our investment in Peugeot S.A. (PSA) common stock using the published stock price. At March 31, 2013 the fair value of our investment in PSA exceeded the carrying amount.

GM Korea Company Preferred Shares

In September 2012 we entered into a transaction to acquire security interests in certain mandatorily redeemable preferred shares issued by GM Korea Company (GM Korea) for $293 million . The transaction did not meet the criteria for an extinguishment of the liability. Subsequently, GM Korea partially redeemed the mandatorily redeemable preferred shares resulting in an

extinguishment of the liability and redemption of a portion of the security interests. The remaining unredeemed interests are classified as available-for-sale corporate debt securities and had a fair value of $178 million and $177 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 .

In April 2013 GM Korea redeemed early the remaining balance of GM Korea's mandatorily redeemable preferred shares resulting in an extinguishment of the liability and redemption of the majority of our remaining security interests. For additional information on the early redemption of GM Korea's mandatorily redeemable preferred shares refer to Note 13 .

GM Financial determined the fair value of consumer finance receivables using Level 3 inputs within a cash flow model. The Level 3 inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the finance receivable portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series of cash flows that derive the fair value of the portfolio. The series of cash flows is calculated and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital (WACC) using unobservable debt and equity percentages, an unobservable cost of equity and an observable cost of debt based on companies with a similar credit rating and maturity profile as the portfolio. Macroeconomic factors could negatively affect the credit performance of the portfolio and therefore could potentially affect the assumptions used in GM Financial's cash flow model.

Substantially all commercial finance receivables have variable interest rates and maturities of one year. Therefore, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

GM Financial purchases consumer finance contracts from automobile dealers without recourse, and accordingly, the dealer has no liability to GM Financial if the consumer defaults on the contract. Finance receivables are collateralized by vehicle titles and GM Financial has the right to repossess the vehicle in the event the consumer defaults on the payment terms of the contract.

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the accrual of finance charge income has been suspended on delinquent consumer finance receivables based on contractual amounts due of $403 million and $503 million . At March 31, 2013 the commercial finance receivables or loans on non-accrual status were insignificant.

GM Financial reviews its pre-acquisition portfolio for differences between contractual cash flows and the cash flows expected to be collected from its initial investment in the pre-acquisition portfolio to determine if the difference is attributable, at least in part to credit quality. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 as a result of improvements in credit performance of the pre-acquisition portfolio, which resulted in an increase of expected cash flows of $48 million and $167 million , GM Financial transferred this excess non-accretable difference to accretable yield. GM Financial will recognize this excess as finance charge income over the remaining life of the portfolio.

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 we performed event-driven goodwill impairment tests for our GM Korea reporting unit as we determined the carrying amount of GM Korea exceeded its fair value. The fair value of GM Korea is below its carrying value due to ongoing economic weakness in certain markets to which GM Korea exports as well as higher raw material costs and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. The event-driven impairment tests resulted in a Goodwill impairment charge of $27 million within our GMIO segment in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Our GME reporting unit had a negative carrying amount and because it was more likely than not further goodwill impairment existed at March 31, 2012 we recorded a Goodwill impairment charge of $590 million .
The following table summarizes the Goodwill impairment charges recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012 (dollars in millions):

________
(a)
At March 31, 2012 GME's Goodwill balance was $0 .

The impairment charges recorded as part of the event-driven goodwill impairment tests in the three months ended March 31, 2012 represent the net decreases in implied goodwill resulting primarily from decreases in the fair value-to-U.S. GAAP differences attributable to those assets and liabilities that gave rise to goodwill upon our application of fresh-start reporting. The net decreases resulted primarily from a decrease in our nonperformance risk and an improvement in our incremental borrowing rates since July 10, 2009. In addition, for the purpose of deriving an implied goodwill balance, deterioration in the business outlook for GME resulted in a reduction in the fair value of certain tax attributes and an increase in the fair value of estimated employee benefit obligations. The amount of implied goodwill derived from GM Korea decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily from a reduction in the fair value of certain tax attributes.

When performing our goodwill impairment testing, the fair values of our reporting units were determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information, primarily discounted cash flow projections. We make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, growth rates, market share and discount rates that represent unobservable inputs into our valuation methodologies. The cash flows are estimated over a significant future period of time, which makes those

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

estimates and assumptions subject to a high degree of uncertainty. Where available and as appropriate, comparative market multiples and the quoted market price of our common stock are used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow method.

The following table summarizes the Goodwill balances and key assumptions, which are unobservable, utilized for each of our reporting units that required a Step 2 analysis (dollars and industry volumes in millions):

GME forecast volumes are 2012 through 2016. GM Korea forecast volumes at March 31, 2012 are 2012 through 2015 and are 2013 through 2016 at March 31, 2013.
(b)
Represents the balance of Goodwill evaluated for impairment under the Step 2 analysis.
(c)
Industry forecast volumes and market share for GM Korea are based on global industry volumes because GM Korea exports vehicles globally.

The WACCs considered various factors including bond yields, risk premiums and tax rates; the terminal values were determined using a growth model that applied a reporting unit's long-term growth rate to its projected cash flows beyond the forecast period; and industry volumes and a market share for each reporting unit included annual estimates through the forecast period. In addition minimum operating cash needs that incorporate specific business, economic and regulatory factors giving rise to varying cash needs were estimated.

Because the fair value of goodwill can be measured only as a residual amount and cannot be determined directly we calculated the implied goodwill, which utilized Level 3 measures, for the GME and GM Korea reporting units in the same manner that goodwill is recognized in a business combination pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, "Business Combinations." At March 31, 2012 our Step 2 analyses indicated GME's and GM Korea's implied goodwill was less than their recorded goodwill; therefore, Goodwill was adjusted as of that date. At March 31, 2013 GM Korea's implied goodwill exceeded its recorded goodwill.

Future goodwill impairments could be recognized should economic uncertainty continue, our equity price decline on a sustained basis, global economies enter into another recession and industry growth stagnates, or should we release deferred tax asset valuation allowances in certain tax jurisdictions. In these circumstances future goodwill impairments would largely be affected by decreases in either the fair value of a reporting unit or in the fair value-to-U.S.-GAAP differences that have occurred subsequent to our application of fresh-start reporting, which in the future would primarily occur upon a decline in the fair value of GM Financial or reversal of our remaining deferred tax asset valuation allowances. Any declines would have a negative effect on our earnings.

Our fair value estimates for event-driven impairment tests assume the achievement of the future financial results contemplated in our forecasted cash flows and there can be no assurance that we will realize that value. The estimates and assumptions used are subject to significant uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and there is no assurance that anticipated financial results will be achieved.

In December 2012 we entered into a product development agreement with PSA to collaborate on the development of certain vehicle platforms, components and modules. As a result of this agreement, in the three months ended March 31, 2013, we acquired the rights to certain intellectual property and technology for total consideration of Euro 500 million (equivalent to $642 million ). Consideration of Euro 155 million (equivalent to $199 million ) is expected to be paid in cash during 2013 with the remaining consideration to be paid in cash or in-kind exchanges by May 2018. The acquired rights were recorded at the present value of the total payments to be made as technology and intellectual property of $594 million .

Note 11. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs

Automotive

Variable interest entities (VIEs) that we do not control through a majority voting interest that are consolidated because we are the primary beneficiary include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements, the most significant of which is GM Egypt. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 : (1) Total assets of these VIEs were $514 million and $436 million , which were composed of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts and notes receivable, net, Inventories and Property, net; and (2) Total liabilities were $343 million and $254 million , which were composed of Accounts payable (principally trade) and Accrued liabilities. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 Total net sales and revenue recorded by these VIEs were $236 million and $236 million and Net income (loss) was $18 million and $(5) million . These amounts are stated prior to intercompany eliminations. Liabilities recognized as a result of consolidating VIEs generally do not represent claims against us or our other subsidiaries and assets recognized generally are for the benefit of the VIEs' operations and cannot be used to satisfy our obligations.

GM Korea and HKJV are non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries that we control through a majority voting interest. They are also VIEs because in the future they may require additional subordinated financial support.

The following table summarizes the liabilities of GM Korea and HKJV for which their creditors do not have recourse to our general credit (dollars in millions):

Automotive Financing - GM Financial

GM Financial finances its loan and lease origination volume through the use of credit facilities and securitization trusts that issue asset-backed securities to investors. GM Financial retains a residual interest in these entities and is not required to provide any additional financial support to its sponsored credit facilities and securitization SPEs. The SPEs are considered VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk and are consolidated because GM Financial has the power over those activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the SPEs. The finance receivables, leased assets and other assets held by these subsidiaries are not available to our creditors or creditors of our other subsidiaries. Refer to Notes 5 , 6 and 13 for additional information on GM Financial's involvement with the SPEs.

Nonconsolidated VIEs

Automotive

VIEs that are not consolidated include certain vehicle assembling, manufacturing and selling venture arrangements and other automotive related entities to which we provided financial support including HKJV prior to September 2012 and Ally Financial. We concluded these entities are VIEs because they do not have sufficient equity at risk or may require additional subordinated financial support. We currently lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct those activities of these entities that most significantly affect their economic performance. Our variable interests in these nonconsolidated VIEs include accounts and notes receivable, equity in net assets, guarantees and financial support, some of which were provided to certain current or previously divested suppliers in order to ensure that supply needs for production were not disrupted due to a supplier's liquidity concerns or possible shutdowns.

The following table summarizes the amounts recorded for nonconsolidated VIEs and the related off-balance sheet guarantees and maximum exposure to loss (dollars in millions):

Fair Value of Ally Financial Common Stock

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 we held a 9.9% common equity ownership in Ally Financial. Our entire equity ownership is held indirectly through an independent trust which has the sole authority to vote the shares and is required to dispose of all Ally Financial common stock by December 24, 2013.

We estimated the fair value of Ally Financial common stock using a market approach that applies the average price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies to the consolidated Ally Financial tangible book value. The significant inputs used in our fair value analyses included Ally Financial's March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 financial statements, financial statements and price to tangible book value multiples of comparable companies in the banking and finance industry, and the effects of certain Ally Financial shareholder rights. The measurement of Ally Financial common stock is a Level 3 fair value measurement.

Impairment of vehicles leased to daily rental car companies with guaranteed repurchase obligations is determined to exist if the expected cash flows are lower than the carrying amount of the vehicle. We have multiple, distinct portfolios of vehicles leased to rental car companies and may have multiple impairments within a period. Expected cash flows include all estimated net revenue and costs associated with the sale to daily rental car companies through disposal at auction. The fair value measurements are determined, reviewed and approved on a monthly basis by personnel with appropriate knowledge of transactions with daily rental car companies and auction transactions.

The Level 2 fair value measurements utilize a discounted cash flow model. The valuation is reviewed internally by personnel with appropriate expertise in valuation methodologies. This model utilizes observable inputs such as contractual repayment terms and benchmark yield curves, plus a spread that is intended to represent our nonperformance risk for secured or unsecured obligations. We estimate our nonperformance risk using our corporate credit rating, the rating on our secured revolver, yields on traded bonds of companies with comparable credit ratings and risk profiles. We acquire the benchmark yield curves and nonperformance risk

spread from independent sources that are widely used in the financial industry. In certain circumstances we adjust the valuation of debt for additional nonperformance risk or potential prepayment probability scenarios. We may use a probability weighting of prepayment scenarios when the stated rate exceeds market rates and the instrument contains prepayment features. The prepayment scenarios are adjusted to reflect the views of market participants. The fair value measurements subject to additional adjustments for nonperformance risk or prepayment have been categorized within Level 3.

Losses on Extinguishment of Debt

In April 2013 we made a payment of Korean Won (KRW) 794 billion (equivalent to $696 million ) to redeem early the remaining balance of GM Korea's mandatorily redeemable preferred shares that had a carrying amount of KRW 525 billion (equivalent to $460 million ). We recorded the difference of KRW 269 billion (equivalent to $236 million ) as a loss on extinguishment of debt in April 2013. The KRW to U.S. Dollar amounts were determined using the spot rate at the date of transaction; actual amounts will be recorded using the average rate for the month.

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 we prepaid and retired a debt obligation of $39 million . We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $18 million which primarily represented the unamortized debt discount.
Secured Revolving Credit Facilities

We have two secured revolving credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $11.0 billion . These facilities consist of a three-year, $5.5 billion facility and a five-year, $5.5 billion facility. Availability under the secured revolving credit facilities is subject to borrowing base restrictions.

The facilities allow for borrowing in U.S. dollars and other currencies, subject to certain sub-limits, and the three-year facility includes a GM Financial borrowing sub-limit of $4.0 billion . We had amounts in use under the letter of credit sub-facility under the three-year facility of $344 million and $207 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The carrying amount of the credit facilities is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value because these facilities have variable rates of interest and maturities of approximately one year. The fair value of the securitization notes payable and senior notes are based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted prices are not available the market value is estimated by discounting future net cash flows expected to be settled using a current risk-adjusted rate.

GM Financial uses observable and unobservable inputs to estimate fair value for the private securitization 2012-PP1. Unobservable inputs are related to the structuring of the debt into various classes, which is based on public securitizations issued

during the same time frame. Observable inputs are used by obtaining active prices based on the securitization debt issued during the same time frame. These observable inputs are then used to create expected market prices (unobservable inputs), which are then applied to the debt classes in order to estimate fair value which would approximate market value.

Significant Plan Amendments, Benefit Modifications and Related Events

U.S. Salaried Defined Benefit Pension Plan

In January 2012 we amended the salaried pension plan to cease the accrual of additional benefits effective September 30, 2012. This amendment resulted in a curtailment which decreased the pension liability and decreased the net pre-tax actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss by $309 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012. Active plan participants started receiving additional contributions in the defined contribution plan in October 2012.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

In the three months ended March 31, 2012 certain pension plans in GME were remeasured as part of our Goodwill impairment testing, resulting in an increase of $150 million in the pension liability and a pre-tax increase in the net actuarial loss component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Refer to Note 9 for additional information on our Goodwill impairment.

Note 16. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Automotive

Derivatives and Hedge Accounting

In accordance with our risk management policy we enter into a variety of foreign currency exchange rate and commodity derivative contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in certain foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 our derivative instruments consisted primarily of forward contracts and options, none of which were designated in hedging relationships.

We manage our counterparty credit risk by monitoring the credit ratings of our counterparties and by requiring them to post collateral in certain circumstances. Master netting agreements are entered into with counterparties that include a provision to allow the set-off of certain amounts in order to manage counterparty credit risk.

Such master netting agreements with counterparties are based on International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. guidelines and are modified as required. These agreements provide a right to offset corresponding amounts at the option of the non-defaulting party or non-affected party upon the early termination of these agreements by default, upon certain other termination events and a credit event upon merger. To the extent that any amounts are offset with notice to the counterparty, the offset amounts are discharged in all respects.

Certain of our agreements with counterparties require that we either receive or provide cash collateral. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 no collateral was provided to counterparties; however, we have received collateral from counterparties related to certain derivative instruments. We are not subject to any covenants requiring the maintenance of certain credit rating levels or credit risk ratios that would require the posting of collateral in the event that such covenants are violated.

Offsetting of Derivatives

Our policy is to present derivative assets and liabilities on a gross basis. The potential effect from offsetting those derivative assets and liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements is insignificant.

Fair Value of Derivatives

The following tables summarize fair value measurements of our derivative instruments measured on a recurring basis (dollars in millions):

We measure the fair value of our portfolio of foreign currency, commodity and embedded derivatives using industry accepted models. The significant Level 2 inputs used in the valuation of our derivatives include spot rates, forward rates, volatility and interest rates. These inputs are obtained from pricing services, broker quotes and other sources.

We are party to agreements in which pricing is affected by movements in commodity prices or currency exchange rates. Therefore we determined these agreements to be derivatives or have embedded derivatives for accounting purposes. The valuations of these derivatives use Level 3 inputs. Unobservable inputs include foreign currency forward exchange rates, volume commitments and vehicle mix and current and forward commodity prices.

The valuations are performed, reviewed and approved by personnel with appropriate expertise in valuation methodologies. For certain derivatives we compare our own valuations with valuations prepared by independent outside parties.

The following table summarizes the activity for our derivative investments measured using Level 3 inputs (dollars in millions):

Automotive Financing - GM Financial

GM Financial is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in interest rates due to floating interest rate exposure on its credit facilities and on certain securitization notes payable and manages this exposure with interest rate swaps and caps. GM Financial had interest rate derivatives in asset positions with notional amounts of $1.7 billion and $775 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 . GM Financial had interest rate derivatives in liability positions with notional amounts of $1.7 billion and $775 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 . The fair value of these derivative financial instruments was insignificant.

In connection with the anticipated closing of the acquisition of certain Ally Financial international operations, GM Financial provided a loan denominated in foreign currencies (Euro, British Pound and Swedish Krona) to an acquired entity for the equivalent of $1.5 billion . In March 2013 GM Financial entered into foreign currency exchange swaps to hedge against any valuation change in the loan due to changes in foreign exchange rates. At March 31, 2013 the notional amount of the foreign currency exchange swaps was $1.5 billion . The fair value of the foreign currency exchange swaps was insignificant. Refer to Note 24 for additional information on the acquisition.

Guarantees

We provide payment guarantees on commercial loans outstanding with third parties, such as dealers or rental car companies. These guarantees either expire in 2018 or are ongoing. We determined the fair value ascribed to the guarantees at inception and subsequent to inception to be insignificant based on the credit worthiness of the third parties.

We have agreements with third parties that guarantee the fulfillment of certain suppliers' commitments and other obligations. These guarantees expire in 2013 through 2017 or are ongoing, or upon the occurrence of specific events.

In some instances certain assets of the party whose debt or performance we have guaranteed may offset, to some degree, the cost of the guarantee. The offset of certain of our payables to guaranteed parties may also offset certain guarantees, if triggered. If vehicles are required to be repurchased under vehicle repurchase obligations, the total exposure would be reduced to the extent vehicles are able to be resold to another dealer.

In connection with certain divestitures of assets or operating businesses, we have entered into agreements indemnifying certain buyers and other parties with respect to environmental conditions and other closure costs pertaining to real property we owned. We periodically enter into agreements that incorporate indemnification provisions in the normal course of business. It is not possible to estimate our maximum exposure under these indemnifications or guarantees due to the conditional nature of these obligations. Immaterial amounts have been recorded for such obligations as the majority of them are not probable or estimable at this time and the fair value of the guarantees at issuance was insignificant.

In addition to the guarantees and indemnifying agreements previously discussed, we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims as subsequently discussed.

With respect to other product-related claims involving products manufactured by certain joint ventures, we believe that costs incurred are adequately covered by recorded accruals. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 2020 to 2026.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

Environmental Liability

Automotive operations, like operations of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to a wide range of environmental protection laws, including laws regulating air emissions, water discharges, waste management and environmental remediation. We are in various stages of investigation or remediation for sites where contamination has been alleged. We are involved in a number of actions to remediate hazardous wastes as required by federal and state laws. Such statutes require that responsible parties fund remediation actions regardless of fault, legality of original disposal or ownership of a disposal site.

The future effect of environmental matters, including potential liabilities, is often difficult to estimate. An environmental reserve is recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. This practice is followed whether the claims are asserted or unasserted. Recorded liabilities are not reduced for possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other parties. Liabilities have been recorded for the expected costs to be paid over the periods of remediation for the applicable sites, which typically range from five to 30 years .

For many sites the remediation costs and other damages for which we ultimately may be responsible may vary because of uncertainties with respect to factors such as the connection to the site or to materials there, the involvement of other potentially responsible parties, the application of laws and other standards or regulations, site conditions and the nature and scope of investigations, studies and remediation to be undertaken (including the technologies to be required and the extent, duration and success of remediation).

The final outcome of environmental matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Subsequent adjustments to initial estimates are recorded as necessary based upon additional information obtained. In future periods new laws or regulations, advances in remediation technologies and additional information about the ultimate remediation methodology to be used could significantly change our estimates. It is possible that the resolution of one or more environmental matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. At March 31, 2013 we estimate the remediation losses could range from $120 million to $250 million .

Product Liability

With respect to product liability claims involving our and Old GM's products, we believe that any judgment against us for actual damages will be adequately covered by our recorded accruals and, where applicable, excess liability insurance coverage. Although punitive damages are claimed in some of these lawsuits and such claims are inherently unpredictable, accruals incorporate historic experience with these types of claims. Liabilities have been recorded for the expected cost of all known product liability claims plus an estimate of the expected cost for product liability claims that have already been incurred and are expected to be filed in the future for which we are self-insured. These amounts were recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes.

We indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims including products sold by Old GM. We monitor actual claims experience and make periodic adjustments to our estimates. Based on both management's judgment concerning the projected number and value of both dealer indemnification obligations and product liability claims, we have applied actuarial methodologies and estimated the liability. We expect our product liability reserve to rise in future periods as new claims arise from incidents subsequent to July 9, 2009.

Other Litigation-Related Liability and Tax Administrative Matters

Various legal actions, governmental investigations, claims and proceedings are pending against us including matters arising out of alleged product defects; employment-related matters; governmental regulations relating to safety, emissions and fuel economy; product warranties; financial services; dealer, supplier and other contractual relationships; tax-related matters not recorded pursuant to ASC 740, "Income Taxes" (indirect tax-related matters) and environmental matters.

With regard to the litigation matters discussed in the previous paragraph, reserves have been established for matters in which we believe that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated, the majority of which are associated with non-U.S. labor-related matters as well as indirect tax-related matters. The various non-U.S. labor-related matters include claims from current and former employees related to alleged unpaid wage, benefit, severance and other compensation matters. Indirect tax-related matters are being litigated globally pertaining to value added taxes, customs, duties, sales, property taxes and other non-income tax related tax exposures. Certain South American administrative proceedings are indirect tax-related and may require that we deposit funds

29


GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

in escrow. Escrow deposits may range from $500 million to $700 million . Some of the matters may involve compensatory, punitive or other treble damage claims, environmental remediation programs or sanctions that, if granted, could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated at March 31, 2013 . We believe that appropriate accruals have been established for such matters based on information currently available. Reserves for litigation losses are recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes. Litigation is inherently unpredictable however; and unfavorable resolutions could occur. Accordingly it is possible that an adverse outcome from such proceedings could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in any particular reporting period.

GM Korea Wage Litigation

Commencing on or about September 29, 2010 current and former hourly employees of GM Korea filed seven separate group actions in the Incheon District Court in Incheon, Korea. The cases, which in aggregate involve more than 10,000 employees, allege that GM Korea failed to include certain allowances in its calculation of Ordinary Wages due under the Presidential Decree of the Korean Labor Standards Act. On November 23, 2012 the Seoul High Court (an intermediate level appellate court) issued a decision affirming a decision of the Incheon District Court in a case involving five GM Korea employees which was contrary to GM Korea's position in all of these cases. Although GM Korea believes the decision of the Seoul High Court is incorrect and has appealed to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Korea, at March 31, 2013 we have an accrual of KRW 778 billion (equivalent to $699 million ) in connection with these cases. We do not believe we have any reasonably possible exposure in excess of the amount of the accrual. Both the scope of claims asserted and GM Korea's assessment of any or all of individual claim elements may change if new information becomes available.

GMCL Dealers' Claim

On February 12, 2010 a claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against General Motors of Canada Limited (GMCL) on behalf of a purported class of over 200 former GMCL dealers (the Plaintiff Dealers) which had entered into wind-down agreements with GMCL. In May 2009 in the context of the global restructuring of the business and the possibility that GMCL might be required to initiate insolvency proceedings, GMCL offered the Plaintiff Dealers the wind-down agreements to assist with their exit from the GMCL dealer network and to facilitate winding down their operations in an orderly fashion by December 31, 2009 or such other date as GMCL approved but no later than on October 31, 2010. The Plaintiff Dealers allege that the Dealer Sales and Service Agreements were wrongly terminated by GMCL and that GMCL failed to comply with certain disclosure obligations, breached its statutory duty of fair dealing and unlawfully interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers' statutory right to associate in an attempt to coerce the Plaintiff Dealers into accepting the wind-down agreements. The Plaintiff Dealers seek damages and assert that the wind-down agreements are rescindable. The Plaintiff Dealers' initial pleading makes reference to a claim “not exceeding” CAD $750 million , without explanation of any specific measure of damages. On March 1, 2011 the court approved certification of a class for the purpose of deciding a number of specifically defined issues including: (1) whether GMCL breached its obligation of "good faith" in offering the wind-down agreements; (2) whether GMCL interfered with the Plaintiff Dealers' rights of free association; (3) whether GMCL was obligated to provide a disclosure statement and/or disclose more specific information regarding its restructuring plans in connection with proffering the wind-down agreements; and (4) assuming liability, whether the Plaintiff Dealers can recover damages in the aggregate (as opposed to proving individual damages). On June 22, 2011 the court granted GMCL permission to appeal the class certification decision. On March 26, 2012 the Ontario Superior Court dismissed GMCL's appeal of the class certification order. Accordingly the case will proceed as a class action. Twenty-six dealers within the certified class definition have indicated that they will not participate. The current prospects for liability are uncertain, but because liability is not deemed probable we have no accrual relating to this litigation. We cannot estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in the event of liability as the case presents a variety of different legal theories, none of which GMCL believes are valid.

UAW Claim

On April 6, 2010 the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agriculture Implement Workers of America (UAW) filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan claiming that we breached an obligation to contribute $450 million to the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust. The UAW alleges that we were contractually required to make this contribution. The reasonably possible loss as defined by ASC 450, “Contingencies” is $450 million , which is the amount claimed. We believe that the claim is without merit and we have no accrual relating to this litigation. We believe the UAW's claim is barred by the 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Bankruptcy Court). We also maintain that Delphi Corporation's bankruptcy plan of reorganization did not fulfill the

30


GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

applicable conditions of the relevant agreement and therefore payment would not be due even in the absence of the 2009 UAW Retiree Settlement Agreement.

Nova Scotia Claims Litigation

We are a participating party-in-interest in proceedings pending in the Bankruptcy Court to adjudicate claims in the Old GM bankruptcy arising from certain securities issued by General Motors Nova Scotia Finance Company (Nova Scotia Finance), an Old GM subsidiary which we did not acquire in 2009 (Nova Scotia Claims Litigation). Although the current proceedings involve no claims against us, they present issues which, depending upon their resolution, could result in future claims against GMCL.

In 2003 Nova Scotia Finance, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company, issued notes of 600 million British Pounds which were guaranteed by Old GM (Guaranty) (collectively, the Nova Scotia Notes). The proceeds of the Nova Scotia Notes were converted to CAD and loaned by Nova Scotia Finance to GMCL by means of two intercompany loans totaling CAD $1.3 billion . As part of the bankruptcy proceeding these intercompany loans were compromised for CAD $399 million pursuant to a transaction defined by a Lock-Up Agreement between GMCL, Nova Scotia Finance, Old GM and certain holders of the Nova Scotia Notes (Noteholders). The Lock-Up Agreement defined a transaction by which the Noteholders consented to, among other things, the compromise of the intercompany loans in exchange for payment of CAD $399 million as a Consent Fee. The Consent Fee was originally financed by a loan from Old GM to GMCL immediately prior to the Old GM bankruptcy filing. That loan was subsequently repaid. Pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up Agreement, the Consent Fee did not reduce the principal amount outstanding under the Nova Scotia Notes or the Guaranty. We acquired Old GM's interest in the Lock-Up Agreement in 2009.

In the Nova Scotia Claims Litigation the Noteholders seek an allowed claim in the Old GM bankruptcy based on the Guaranty. The trustee of Nova Scotia Finance seeks an allowed claim in the amount of the deficiency between Nova Scotia Finance's assets and liabilities by reason of the fact that it is an unlimited liability company and Old GM was its sole shareholder. The claim asserted by the trustee includes sums allegedly owed by Nova Scotia Finance to us by reason of currency swaps entered into between Old GM and Nova Scotia Finance which we contend we acquired from Old GM in 2009. Allowance of the claims is opposed by the GUC Trust which asserts that the claims of the trustee and Noteholders are duplicative, that they should be reduced by the amount of the Consent Fee and/or that they should be equitably subordinated or equitably disallowed by reason of alleged inequitable conduct by the Noteholders. In support of this position the GUC Trust has asserted that the Lock-Up Agreement is void because it was not approved by the Bankruptcy Court and was funded by Old GM, that we did not acquire MLC's interest in the Lock-Up Agreements and currency swaps and that other aspects of the sale of assets to us on July 10, 2009 may be adjusted to permit disallowance or reduction of the claims of the Noteholders and the trustee. The trial has commenced but final briefing and argument is not complete and the timing of any decision is uncertain.

Although we believe the positions taken by the GUC Trust are without merit, it is reasonably possible that the Bankruptcy Court will issue rulings adverse to our interest in the Nova Scotia Claims Litigation. Such rulings could lead to subsequent claims which, although we believe would be without merit, could adversely impact GMCL's compromise of the intercompany loans. It is impossible to estimate the reasonably possible loss which would depend upon a variety of factors including the outcome of additional litigation. However the compromise of the intercompany loans for CAD $399 million resulted in a savings to GMCL of CAD $935 million (equivalent to $921 million ) which we believe represents a reasonable estimate of the approximate amount of the maximum reasonably possible loss.

Brazil Excise Tax Incentive

In October 2012 the Brazilian government issued a decree which increased an excise tax rate by 30 percentage points, but also provided an offsetting tax incentive that requires participating companies to meet certain criteria, such as local investment and fuel efficiency standards. Participating companies that fail to meet the required criteria are subject to clawback provisions and fines. At March 31, 2013 we believe it is reasonably assured that the program requirements will be met based on the current business model and available technologies.

GME Planned Spending Guarantee

As part of our Opel/Vauxhall restructuring plan agreed to with European labor representatives we have committed to achieving specified milestones associated with planned spending from 2011 to 2014 on certain product programs. If we fail to accomplish the requirements set out under the agreement we will be required to pay certain amounts up to Euro 265 million for each of those years, and/or interest on those amounts, to our employees. Certain inventory with a carrying amount of $172 million and $186

31


GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was pledged as collateral under the agreement. Through March 31, 2013 spending was sufficient to meet the current requirements under the agreement and the specified milestones have been accomplished. Management has the intent and believes it has the ability to meet the future requirements under the agreement.

Note 18. Income Taxes

For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income (loss). The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded .

In interim periods income tax expense is composed of two key elements: (1) the amount necessary to appropriately state the year to date estimated tax expense of entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, which is calculated as the difference between the amount currently estimated for the year to date period and the amount previously recorded in prior interim periods; and (2) the tax effect of unusual or infrequent items that occur in the period.

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 income tax expense of $409 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation, partially offset by the U.S. research credit legislated in the three months ended March 31, 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2012 income tax expense of $216 million primarily resulted from tax expense attributable to entities included in our effective tax rate calculation. The recorded effective tax rate in the three months ended March 31, 2012 is lower than the applicable statutory tax rate due primarily to income earned in jurisdictions for which a full valuation allowance is recorded.

We file income tax returns in many jurisdictions and are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. We have open tax years from 2002 to 2012 with various significant tax jurisdictions. These open years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, character, timing or inclusion of revenue and expenses or the sustainability of income tax credits for a given audit cycle. In addition the global nature of our operations means that transfer pricing disputes may arise.

In April 2013 we settled a previously disclosed Mexican income tax matter covering the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 for $35 million .

At March 31, 2013 it is not possible to reasonably estimate the expected change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.

Note 19. Restructuring and Other Initiatives

We have previously executed various restructuring and other initiatives, and we plan to execute additional initiatives in the future, if necessary, in order to align manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing global automotive production and to improve the utilization of remaining facilities. To the extent these programs involve voluntary separations, no liabilities are generally recorded until offers to employees are accepted. If employees are involuntarily terminated, a liability is generally recorded at the communication date. Related charges are recorded in Automotive cost of sales and Automotive selling, general and administrative expense.

The following table summarizes the reserves related to restructuring and other initiatives and charges by segment, including postemployment benefit reserves and charges (dollars in millions):

The remaining cash payments related to these reserves for restructuring and other initiatives, including temporary layoff benefits of $349 million and $357 million at March 31, 2013 and 2012 for GMNA, primarily relate to postemployment benefits.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates primarily related to cash severance incentive programs for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees.

Due to the expected closure of the Oshawa Consolidated Plant in June 2014, impacted employees will be eligible for a voluntary restructuring separation incentive program in accordance with the existing collective bargaining agreement that provides cash and a car voucher. This may range up to $70 million and will be included in our restructuring liability, net of existing liabilities, upon irrevocable acceptance by both parties.

GME recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates for previously announced separation and early retirement programs. Through March 31, 2013 the active separation programs related to Germany and the United Kingdom had a total cost of $82 million and had affected a total of 550 employees. We expect to complete these programs in 2013 and incur an additional $185 million , which will affect an additional 725 employees.

GMIO recorded charges, interest accretion and other for previously announced separation programs in Korea. Through March 31, 2013 the active separation programs related to Korea had a total cost of $43 million and had affected a total of 360 employees.

GMSA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates for active separation programs. Through March 31, 2013 the active separation programs related to Brazil had a total cost of $92 million .

Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

GMNA recorded charges, interest accretion and other and revisions to estimates primarily related to our 2011 UAW labor agreement that included cash severance incentive programs which were completed at March 31, 2012 for skilled trade U.S. hourly employees. A total of 1,400 skilled trade U.S. hourly employees participated in these programs at a total cost of $99 million and was recorded upon irrevocable acceptances by both parties.

Note 21. Earnings Per Share

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 we were required to use the two-class method for calculating basic earnings per share and the more dilutive of the two-class or the if-converted method to calculate diluted earnings per share as the applicable

34


GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

market value of our common stock was below $33.00 per common share in the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Under the two-class method for computing earnings per share, undistributed earnings are allocated to common stock and the Series B Preferred Stock according to their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings, as if all the earnings for the period had been distributed. This allocation to the Series B Preferred Stock holders reduced Net income attributable to common stockholders, resulting in a lower basic and dilutive earnings per share amount. Variability may result in our calculation of earnings per share from period to period depending on whether the application of the two-class method is required.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing Net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities that were outstanding.

The following table summarizes basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except for per share amounts):

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

The application of the two-class method resulted in an allocation of undistributed earnings to our Series B Preferred Stock holders and, accordingly, 152 million common stock equivalents from the assumed conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock are not considered outstanding for purposes of determining the weighted-average common shares outstanding in the computation of diluted earnings per share in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

MLC distributed all of its 272 million warrants for our common stock to its unsecured creditors and the GUC Trust. The warrant holders may exercise the warrants at any time prior to their respective expiration dates. Upon exercise of the warrants the shares issued will be included in the number of basic shares outstanding used in the computation of earnings per share.

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)


Warrants to purchase 312 million and 313 million shares of our common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012, of which 46 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrants' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. Under the treasury stock method, the assumed exercise of the remaining warrants resulted in 134 million and 116 million dilutive shares in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Diluted earnings per share included the effect of 12 million and 18 million unvested RSUs granted to certain global executives in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Note 22. Stock Incentive Plans

Long-Term Incentive Plan

We granted 6 million RSUs valued at the grant date fair value of our common stock in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Substantially all of these awards vest over a three-year service period, as defined in the terms of each award. We have elected to record compensation cost for these awards on a straight-line basis over the entire vesting period. Our policy is to issue new shares upon settlement of RSUs.

The 2013 awards granted to the Top 25 highest compensated employees will settle on the second and third anniversary dates of grant in 25% increments consistent with the terms of the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The awards for the Next 75 highest compensated employees will settle on the second and third anniversary dates of grant. The awards to the non-Top 100 highest compensated employees will settle on the first, second and third anniversary dates of grant. Vesting and subsequent settlement will generally occur based upon employment at the end of each specified service period.

The 2012 awards granted to the Top 25 highest compensated employees will settle on the second and third anniversary dates of grant in 25% increments consistent with the terms of the 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan . The awards for the Next 75 and non-Top 100 highest compensated employees will vest and settle on the second and third anniversary dates of grant. Vesting and subsequent settlement will generally occur based upon employment at the end of each specified service period.

Salary Stock Plan

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 a portion of each participant's salary accrued on each salary payment date converted to RSUs on a quarterly basis. The awards are fully vested and nonforfeitable upon grant, therefore compensation cost is fully recognized on the date of grant. In March 2012 we amended the plan to provide for cash settlement of awards. As a result we now settle these awards in cash and we reclassified $97 million from Capital surplus to Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred income taxes. The liability for these awards is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Prior to this amendment it was our policy to issue new shares upon settlement of these awards.

The compensation cost of each RSU that will be settled in equity is based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant or, for those RSUs reclassified from liability to equity-based awards, the fair value of our common stock as of the date of the public offering.

At March 31, 2013 the total unrecognized compensation expense for nonvested equity awards was $285 million . This expense is expected to be recorded over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years .

The total fair value of RSUs that vested in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $204 million and $49 million .

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 total payments of $45 million were made to settle 1.6 million RSUs under stock incentive plans. Payments made in the three months ended March 31, 2012 were insignificant.

Note 23. Segment Reporting

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GMNA, GME, GMIO, GMSA and GM Financial. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our automotive segments through Income (loss) before interest and income taxes, as adjusted for additional amounts, which are presented net of noncontrolling interests, and evaluates GM Financial through income before income taxes. Each segment has a manager responsible for executing our strategies. Our automotive manufacturing operations are integrated within the segments, benefit from broad-based trade agreements and are subject to regulatory requirements, such as Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations. While not all vehicles within a segment are individually profitable on a fully allocated cost basis, those vehicles are needed in our product mix in order to attract customers to dealer showrooms and to maintain sales volumes for other, more profitable vehicles. Because of these and other factors, we do not manage our business on an individual brand or vehicle basis.

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 we changed our managerial and financial reporting structure to measure our reportable segments revenue and profitability based on the geographic area in which we sell vehicles to third party customers. The new reporting structure provides clearer profit and revenue visibility across geographic areas and identifies our profitability at the point of sale. Previously, it was based on the geographic area in which the vehicles originated and our managerial and financial reporting structure included intercompany sales and cost of sales in our segment results. Certain expenses such as engineering, warranty, recall campaigns and selling, general and administrative are allocated to the geographic area in which the vehicle is sold to third party customers. We have retrospectively revised the segment presentation for all periods presented.

Substantially all of the cars, trucks and parts produced are marketed through retail dealers in North America, and through distributors and dealers outside of North America, the substantial majority of which are independently owned.

In addition to the products sold to dealers for consumer retail sales, cars and trucks are also sold to fleet customers, including daily rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and governments. Sales to fleet customers are completed through the network of dealers and in some cases sold directly to fleet customers. Retail and fleet customers can obtain a wide range of aftersale vehicle services and products through the dealer network, such as maintenance, light repairs, collision repairs, vehicle accessories and extended service warranties.

GMNA primarily meets the demands of customers in North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the following four brands:
•     Buick
•      Cadillac
•      Chevrolet
•      GMC

Note 24. Subsequent Event

Acquisition of Certain Ally Financial International Operations

In November 2012 GM Financial entered into a definitive agreement with Ally Financial to acquire 100% of the outstanding equity interests in the top level holding companies of its automotive finance and financial services operations in Europe and Latin America and a separate agreement to acquire Ally Financial’s non-controlling equity interests in GMAC-SAIC, which conducts automotive finance and other financial services in China.

On April 1, 2013 GM Financial completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's European and Latin American automotive finance operations except for France, Portugal and Brazil. GM Financial paid approximately $2.4 billion , subject to certain closing adjustments, to acquire these businesses. In addition GM Financial repaid a $1.3 billion loan that was assumed as part of the acquisition.

GM Financial's acquisition of Ally Financial's French, Portuguese and Brazilian automotive finance operations and the equity interests in GMAC-SAIC are subject to certain regulatory and other approvals, and are expected to close in 2013 or early 2014. GM Financial expects to pay approximately $1.8 billion to close these acquisitions subject to certain closing adjustments.

GM Financial will record the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on April 1, 2013 , the date GM Financial obtained control of the operations, and include the results of their operations and cash flows in their consolidated financial statements from that date forward.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General Motors Company is sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as “we,” “our,” “us,” “ourselves,” the “Company,” “General Motors” or “GM.”

Presentation and Estimates

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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2012 Form 10-K), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

We analyze the results of our business through our five segments: GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial). Nonsegment operations are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes investments in Ally Financial, Inc. (Ally Financial), certain centrally recorded income and costs, such as interest, income taxes and corporate expenditures and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

Wholesale vehicle sales represent deliveries to our dealers and others and correlate to our Net sales and revenue. Retail sales represent deliveries to end customers and are used to estimate our market share. Consistent with industry practice, market share information includes estimates of industry sales in certain countries where public reporting is not legally required or otherwise available on a consistent basis.

Supplemental Consolidating Information

We are providing supplemental consolidating information in order to provide more transparency into the financial position, operating results and cash flows of our two businesses, Automotive and GM Financial.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and the amounts of revenues and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results could differ from the original estimates, requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods.

Overview

Automotive

Our vision is to design, build and sell the world's best vehicles. We offer a global vehicle portfolio of cars, crossovers and trucks. We are committed to leadership in vehicle design, quality, reliability, telematics and infotainment and safety, as well as to developing key energy efficiency and diversity and advanced propulsion technologies, including electric vehicles. Our business is diversified across products and geographic markets. We meet the local sales and service needs of our retail and fleet customers with a global network of independent dealers. In the three months ended March 31, 2013, 51.7% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume was generated outside the U.S.

Our automotive business is organized into four geographically-based segments:

•
GMNA has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico and sales and distribution operations in Central America and the Caribbean. GMNA represented 53.4% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and we had the largest market share, based upon retail vehicle sales, in North America at 17.1%.

41



GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


•
GME has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations across Western and Central Europe. GME's wholesale vehicle sales volume, which in addition to Western and Central Europe, includes Eastern Europe (including Russia and the other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States among others) represented 16.0% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 we estimate we had the number four market share, based upon retail vehicle sales, in Europe at 8.3%. GMIO distributes Chevrolet brand vehicles in Europe. These vehicles are reported within market share for Europe, but wholesale vehicle sales volume is recorded by GMIO.
•
GMIO has sales, manufacturing and distribution operations in Asia/Pacific, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe (including Russia and the other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States among others). GMIO represented 15.6% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa region is our largest region by retail vehicle sales volume and represented 42.0% of our global retail vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 we had market share of 15.2%, based upon retail vehicle sales, in China. GMIO records the wholesale unit volume and financial results of Chevrolet brand vehicles that it distributes and sells in Europe.
•
GMSA has sales, manufacturing, distribution and financing operations in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela as well as sales and distribution operations in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay. GMSA represented 15.0% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume in the three months ended March 31, 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 GMSA derived 65.2% of its wholesale vehicle sales volume from Brazil. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 we estimate we had the number one market share, based upon retail vehicle sales, in South America at 17.2% and the number three market share, based upon retail vehicle sales, in Brazil.

Automotive Financing - GM Financial

GM Financial specializes in purchasing retail automobile installment sales contracts originated by GM and non-GM franchised and select independent dealers in connection with the sale of used and new automobiles. GM Financial also offers lease products through GM dealerships in connection with the marketing of used and new automobiles that target lessees with sub-prime and prime credit bureau scores. GM Financial primarily generates revenue and cash flows through the purchase, retention, subsequent securitization and servicing of finance receivables. To fund the acquisition of receivables prior to securitization, GM Financial uses available cash and borrowings under its credit facilities. GM Financial earns finance charge income on finance receivables and pays interest expense on borrowings under its credit facilities. GM Financial periodically transfers receivables to securitization trusts that issue asset-backed securities to investors. The securitization trusts are special purpose entities that are also variable interest entities that meet the requirements to be consolidated in the financial statements.

In April 2012 GM Financial commenced commercial lending activities in the U.S. centered on floor plan financing of dealer vehicle inventory and dealer loans to finance dealer sites, facilities, facility improvements and working capital. In March 2013 GM Financial launched similar commercial lending in Canada. These loans are made on a secured basis. We believe the availability of financing for our dealers is important to our business.

Automotive Financing Strategy

Our automotive financing strategy centers around ensuring that our dealers and customers have consistently available, transparent and competitive financing options throughout the business and credit cycles. We believe that by having our own capabilities in key financing segments of the market we will be able to achieve more competition from other financing market participants, which we believe improves pricing and service to our dealers and retail customers. We achieve this through our captive finance capabilities at GM Financial and through operating relationships with financial institutions, including Ally Financial. GM Financial continues to expand its business in targeted areas that it views as strategic and to otherwise evaluate opportunities in specific segments of the automotive financing market.

In November 2012 GM Financial entered into agreements with Ally Financial to acquire Ally Financial's automotive finance and financial services businesses in Europe and Latin America. Additionally in November 2012 GM Financial entered into a share transfer agreement with Ally Financial to acquire Ally Financial's equity interest in GMAC-SAIC Automotive Finance Company Limited (GMAC-SAIC) that conducts automotive finance and financial services operations in China. The purchases will allow GM Financial to support our dealers in markets comprising 80% of our global sales. The combined consideration will be approximately $4.2 billion. Pursuant to the transactions, GM Financial's assets are expected to double to approximately $34.3 billion and its liabilities, including consolidated debt, will increase to approximately $26.4 billion compared with $11.8 billion at December 31, 2012.

42



GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES



In April 2013 GM Financial completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's European and Latin American automotive finance operations except for France, Portugal and Brazil. GM Financial paid approximately $2.4 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments, to acquire these businesses. In addition GM Financial repaid a $1.3 billion loan that was assumed as part of the acquisition. Refer to Note 24 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on these acquisitions.

GM Financial's acquisition of Ally Financial's French, Portuguese, and Brazilian automotive finance operations and the equity interests in GMAC-SAIC are subject to certain regulatory and other approvals, and are expected to close in 2013 or early 2014. GM Financial expects to pay approximately $1.8 billion to close these acquisitions subject to certain closing adjustments.

In April 2012 GM Financial commenced commercial lending activities in the U.S. centered on floor plan financing of dealer vehicle inventory and dealer loans to finance dealer sites, facilities, facility improvements and working capital. In March 2013 GM Financial launched similar commercial lending in Canada. These loans are made on a secured basis. We believe the availability of financing for our dealers is important to our business.

In addition to the financing we provide through GM Financial, we also ensure availability of competitive financing for our customers and dealers through operating relationships with financial institutions. Historically Ally Financial provided a majority of the financing for our dealers and a significant portion of the financing for our customers in the U.S., Canada and other major international markets where we operate. Ally Financial continues to be the largest third party provider of financing for our dealers and customers. We have added relationships with other financial institutions to increase our competitiveness and benefit from additional financing sources, including arrangements to provide incentivized retail financing to our customers in the U.S., Canada, United Kingdom (U.K.) and Australia.

Focus on Chinese Market

We view the Chinese market as important to our global growth strategy and are employing a multi-brand strategy, led by our Buick and Chevrolet brands. In the coming years, we plan to increasingly leverage our global architectures to increase the number of nameplates under the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac brands in China and continue to grow our business under the Baojun, Jiefang and Wuling brands. We operate in Chinese markets through a number of joint ventures and maintaining good relations with our joint ventures partners, which are affiliated with the Chinese government, is an important part of our China growth strategy.

Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for our direct ownership interests in our Chinese joint ventures, collectively referred to as China JVs.

During the second half of 2011 and continuing into 2013, the European automotive industry has been severely affected by the ongoing sovereign debt crisis, high unemployment and a lack of consumer confidence coupled with overcapacity. European automotive industry sales to retail and fleet customers were 4.5 million vehicles in the three months ended March 31, 2013,

43



GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


representing a 7.7% decrease compared to the corresponding period in 2012. In the three months ended March 31, 2013 our European market share declined to 8.3% from 8.5% in the year ended December 31, 2012 and the region suffered EBIT (loss)-adjusted of $0.2 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to EBIT (loss)-adjusted of $0.3 billion in the corresponding period in 2012.

We have formulated a plan to implement various actions to strengthen our operations and increase our competitiveness. The key areas of the plan include investments in our product portfolio, a revised brand strategy, significant management changes, reducing material, development and production costs, including restructuring activities discussed below, and further leveraging synergies from the alliance between us and Peugeot S.A. (PSA), as subsequently discussed. The success of our plan will depend on a combination of our ability to execute the actions contemplated, as well as external factors which are outside of our control. We believe it is likely that adverse economic conditions, and their effect on the European automotive industry will not improve significantly in the short-term and we expect to continue to incur losses in the region as a result.

Alliance with PSA

In February 2012 we entered into an agreement with PSA to create a long-term and broad-scale global strategic alliance that is expected to leverage the combined strengths and capabilities of the two companies, contribute to our profitability and improve our competitiveness in Europe. In March 2012 we acquired a seven percent equity stake in PSA. In June 2012 we entered into a long-term exclusive service agreement with Gefco, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSA, to provide logistics services in Europe beginning in 2013. In December 2012 PSA sold its controlling interest in Gefco to an unrelated third party; however, the sale has no impact on the long-term exclusive service agreement. In December 2012 we entered into a product development agreement with PSA to collaborate on the development of certain vehicle platforms, components and modules. As a result of this agreement, in the three months ended March 31, 2013 we acquired the rights to certain intellectual property and technology for total consideration of Euro 0.5 billion (equivalent to $0.6 billion ). Consideration of Euro 0.2 billion (equivalent to $0.2 billion ) is expected to be paid in cash during 2013 with the remaining consideration to be paid in cash or in-kind exchanges by May 2018. The acquired rights were recorded at the present value of the total payments to be made as technology and intellectual property of $0.6 billion . At March 31, 2013 the carrying amount of our investment in PSA was $0.2 billion.

Restructuring Activities and Special Attrition Programs, Labor Agreements and Benefit Plan Changes

We have previously executed various restructuring and other initiatives, and we plan to execute additional initiatives in the future, if necessary, in order to align manufacturing capacity and other costs with prevailing global automotive production and to improve the utilization of remaining facilities.

Due to the expected closure of the Oshawa Consolidated Plant in June 2014, impacted employees will be eligible for a voluntary restructuring separation incentive program in accordance with the existing collective bargaining agreement that provides cash and a car voucher. This may range up to $0.1 billion and will be included in our restructuring liability, net of existing liabilities, upon irrevocable acceptance by both parties.

Through March 31, 2013 the active separation programs related to Germany and the U.K. had a total cost of $0.1 billion and had affected a total of 550 employees. We expect to complete these programs in 2013 and incur an additional $0.2 billion , which will affect an additional 725 employees (including employees at our transmission facility in Bochum, Germany).

In March and April 2013, we also finalized labor agreements in Germany and Spain, which will limit or eliminate labor cost increases at our facilities in those countries in 2013 and for the next several years. In addition to our active restructuring programs in Germany and the U.K. we plan to terminate all vehicle production at our Bochum, Germany facility by the end of 2014 to reduce employee headcount and manufacturing capacity.

Through March 31, 2013 the separation program in Brazil had a total cost of $0.1 billion .

Venezuelan Exchange Regulations

Our Venezuelan subsidiaries utilize the U.S. Dollar as their functional currency because of the hyperinflationary status of the Venezuelan economy. The Venezuelan government has foreign exchange control regulations which make it more difficult to convert Bolivar Fuerte (BsF) to U.S. Dollars. These regulations affect our Venezuelan subsidiaries' ability to pay non-BsF denominated obligations that do not qualify to be processed by the Venezuela currency exchange agency at the official exchange rates.


44



GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


In February 2013 the Venezuelan government announced that the official fixed exchange rate of BsF 4.3 to $1.00 changed to BsF 6.3 to $1.00 effective February 13, 2013. The devaluation required remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiaries' non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The remeasurement resulted in a charge of $0.2 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

We believe it is possible that the Venezuelan government may further devalue the BsF against the U.S. dollar in the future. If the BsF were devalued further, it would result in a charge to our income statement in the period of devaluation. Based on our March 31, 2013 net monetary assets, a further devaluation of the BsF by 1 BsF to $1.00 would result in a charge of approximately $50 million.

Refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding amounts pending government approval for settlement and the net assets, monetary assets and monetary liabilities of our Venezuelan subsidiaries.

Wholesale and Retail Vehicle Sales

Wholesale vehicle sales data, which represents sales directly to dealers and others, is the measure that correlates vehicle sales to our revenue from the sale of vehicles, which is the largest component of Automotive sales and revenue. Wholesale vehicle sales exclude vehicles produced by unconsolidated joint ventures. Retail vehicle sales data, which represents estimated sales to the end customer, including fleets, does not correlate directly to the revenue we recognize during the period. However, retail vehicle sales data is indicative of the underlying demand for our vehicles, is the basis for our market share, and is based upon the good faith estimates of management and includes all sales by joint ventures on a total vehicle basis, not based on the percentage of ownership in the joint venture. Market share information is based primarily on retail vehicle sales volume, but estimates may be used where retail vehicle sales volume is not available. Worldwide market share and retail vehicle sales data exclude the markets of Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.

We present both wholesale and retail vehicle sales data to assist in the analysis of our revenue and our market share.

Retail sales volume includes vehicles produced by certain joint ventures. The joint venture agreements with SAIC-GM-Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. (SGMW) and FAW-GM Light Duty Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd. (FAW-GM) allow for significant rights as a member as well as the contractual right to report SGMW and FAW-GM joint venture sales in China.

Reconciliation of Consolidated, Automotive and GM Financial Segment Results

Management believes earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)-adjusted provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our automotive segments' operating results because it excludes interest income, interest expense and income taxes as well as certain additional amounts. Management does not consider these excluded items when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the organization, its management teams and when making decisions to allocate resources, such as capital investment, among business units and for internal reporting and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes. Such adjustments include impairment charges related to goodwill and certain investments, gains or losses on the settlement/extinguishment of obligations and gains or losses on the sale of non-core investments. Management believes this measure allows it to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions. We believe EBIT-adjusted is useful in allowing for greater transparency of our core operations and is therefore used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.

While management believes that EBIT-adjusted provides useful information, it is not an operating measure under U.S. GAAP and there are limitations associated with its use. Our calculation of EBIT-adjusted may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result the use of EBIT-adjusted has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, other measures such as Net income or Net income attributable to stockholders. Due to these limitations, EBIT-adjusted is used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures.

Management believes income before income taxes provides meaningful supplemental information regarding GM Financial's operating results. GM Financial uses a separate measure from our automotive operations because management believes interest income and interest expense are part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the segment.

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 we changed our managerial and financial reporting structure to measure our reportable segments revenue and profitability based on the geographic area in which we sell vehicles to third party customers. The new reporting structure provides clearer profit and revenue visibility across geographic areas and identifies our profitability at the point of sale. Previously, it was based on the geographic area in which the vehicles originated and our managerial and financial reporting structure included intercompany sales and cost of sales in our segment results. Certain expenses such as engineering, warranty, recall campaigns and selling, general and administrative are allocated to the geographic area in which the vehicle is sold to third party customers. We have retrospectively revised the segment presentation for all periods presented.

The following tables summarize the reconciliation of our automotive segments EBIT-adjusted and GM Financial's income before income taxes to Net income attributable to stockholders and provide supplemental detail of the adjustments, which are presented net of noncontrolling interests (dollars in millions):

Marketable securities decreased by $2.4 billion (or 27.0%) due primarily to our reinvesting in shorter term cash equivalents as these marketable securities matured to rebalance our securities portfolio in the normal course of business.

Accounts and notes receivable, net increased by $2.2 billion (or 20.8%) due primarily to a net increase of $2.1 billion related to an increase in GMNA vehicle sales in the month of March 2013 compared to the month of December 2012 attributable to the December holiday shutdown.

Current Liabilities

GM Financial short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt increased by $1.4 billion (or 38.4%) due primarily to: (1) borrowings on credit facilities of $1.5 billion; (2) current portion of $0.3 billion from the issuance of securitization notes payable; and (3) long-term debt reclassed to current of $0.6 billion; partially offset by (4) principal payments of $1.0 billion.

Non-Current Liabilities

GM Financial Long-term debt increased by $0.9 billion (or 13.0%) due primarily to: (1) long-term portion of $0.7 billion from the issuance of securitization notes payable and (2) issuance of debt on a credit facility with a term of more than 12 months of $0.9 billion; partially offset by (3) long-term debt reclassed to current of $0.6 billion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Overview

We believe that our current level of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and availability under our secured revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs. However we expect to have substantial cash requirements going forward which we plan to fund through total available liquidity and cash flows generated from operations. Our known material future uses of cash which may vary from time to time based on market conditions and other factors include, among other possible demands: (1) reinvestment in our business through capital expenditures of approximately $8 billion annually as well as engineering

56



GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


and product development activities; (2) acquiring certain Ally Financial international operations for approximately $4.2 billion and repayment of a loan assumed as part of the acquisition for approximately $1.3 billion; (3) payments to service debt and other long-term obligations; (4) dividend payments on our Series A and Series B Preferred Shares of $0.8 billion annually; and (5) certain litigation and income and indirect tax-related administrative proceedings that may require that we make payments or deposit funds in escrow estimated at $0.9 billion.

Our liquidity plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2012 Form 10-K, some of which are outside our control. Macroeconomic conditions could limit our ability to successfully execute our business plans and therefore adversely affect our liquidity plans.

Recent Management Initiatives

We continue to monitor and evaluate opportunities to strengthen our balance sheet and competitive position. These actions may include opportunistic payments to reduce our long-term obligations while maintaining minimal financial leverage as well as the possibility of acquisitions, dispositions and strategic alliances that we believe would generate significant advantages and substantially strengthen our business. These actions may include additional loans, investments with our joint venture partners or the acquisitions of certain operations or ownership stakes in outside businesses. These actions may negatively impact our liquidity in the short-term.

In November 2012 GM Financial entered into agreements with Ally Financial to acquire Ally Financial's automotive finance and financial services businesses in Europe and Latin America and Ally Financial's equity interests in GMAC-SAIC that conducts automotive finance services operations in China. The purchase price to acquire this business and equity interests is approximately $4.2 billion, subject to certain possible closing adjustments.

In April 2013 GM Financial completed the acquisition of Ally Financial's European and Latin American automotive finance operations except for France, Portugal and Brazil. GM Financial paid approximately $2.4 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments, to acquire these businesses. In addition GM Financial repaid a $1.3 billion loan that was assumed as part of the acquisition. We provided GM Financial with additional funding, including a capital contribution of $1.3 billion and an intercompany loan of $0.8 billion, to complete these acquisitions. Refer to Note 24 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on these acquisitions.

GM Financial's acquisition of Ally Financial's French, Portuguese and Brazilian automotive finance operations and the equity interests in GMAC-SAIC are subject to certain regulatory and other approvals, and are expected to close in 2013 or early 2014. GM Financial expects to pay approximately $1.8 billion to close these acquisitions, subject to certain closing adjustments.

In April 2013 we made a payment of $0.7 billion to redeem early the remaining balance of GM Korea's mandatorily redeemable preferred shares that had a carrying amount of $0.5 billion. We recorded the difference of $0.2 billion as a loss on extinguishment of debt in April 2013. Following the redemption, we received proceeds of $0.1 billion on security interests in the preferred shares. These interests had been classified as an available-for-sale marketable security.

Available Liquidity

Total available liquidity includes cash, cash equivalents, current marketable securities and funds available under credit facilities. At March 31, 2013 our available liquidity was $35.3 billion, including funds available under credit facilities of $11.0 billion. The amount of available liquidity is subject to intra-month and seasonal fluctuations and includes balances held by various business units and subsidiaries worldwide that are needed to fund their operations.

We manage our liquidity primarily at our treasury centers as well as at certain of our significant consolidated overseas subsidiaries. Available liquidity held within North America and at our regional treasury centers represented approximately 83% of our available liquidity at March 31, 2013. A portion of our available liquidity includes amounts deemed indefinitely reinvested in our foreign subsidiaries. We have used and will continue to use other methods including intercompany loans to utilize these funds across our global operations as needed.

Our cash equivalents and marketable securities balances include investments in U.S. government and agency obligations, foreign government securities, time deposits and certificates of deposits and corporate debt securities, and are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollars. We expect to maintain a sufficient amount of Canadian Dollar (CAD) denominated cash investments to offset certain CAD denominated liabilities, which primarily relate to pension and other postretirement benefits liabilities. These cash investments will incur foreign currency exchange gains or losses based on the movement of the CAD in relation to the U.S. Dollar and will

58



GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


therefore reduce our net CAD foreign currency exchange exposure. We held cash investments in CAD denominated securities of $3.2 billion at March 31, 2013. These funds continue to be available to fund our normal ongoing operations and are included in our available liquidity.

Our investment guidelines, which we may change from time to time, prescribe certain minimum credit rating thresholds and limit our exposures to any particular sector, asset class, issuance or security type. Substantially all of our current investments in debt securities are with A/A2 or better rated issuers. We actively monitor and manage our liquidity exposure to Europe which is related primarily to short-term bank deposits and short-term debt securities of high-quality European issuers.

Includes an unutilized credit facility of $200 million that we terminated in April 2013.

Our primary borrowing capacity under credit facilities comes from our secured revolving credit facilities comprising a three-year, $5.5 billion facility and a five-year, $5.5 billion facility. Obligations under the secured revolving credit facilities are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries and secured by a substantial portion of our domestic assets excluding cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and GM Financial. Availability under the secured revolving credit facilities is subject to borrowing base restrictions.

The three-year, $5.5 billion facility is available to GM Financial as well as other certain wholly-owned domestic and international subsidiaries. The facility includes various sub-limits including a GM Financial borrowing sub-limit of $4.0 billion, a multi-currency borrowing sub-limit of $3.5 billion, a Brazilian Real borrowing sub-limit of $0.5 billion, and a letter of credit sub-facility limit of $1.5 billion. At March 31, 2013 GM Financial has not borrowed under the three-year $5.5 billion facility. We had amounts in use under the letter of credit sub-facility of $0.3 billion at March 31, 2013. We may borrow against this facility from time to time for strategic initiatives and for general corporate purposes.

The five-year, $5.5 billion facility is not available to GM Financial and allows for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and other currencies and includes a letter of credit sub-limit of $0.5 billion. While we do not expect to draw on the five-year facility, it provides additional liquidity, financing flexibility and is available for general corporate purposes.

Cash Flow

GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


Operating Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $1.7 billion due primarily to: (1) lower net income excluding non-cash charges relating to depreciation, amortization and impairment charges of $0.8 billion; (2) unfavorable daily rental car activities of $0.4 billion; (3) unfavorable changes in working capital of $0.3 billion; and (4) unfavorable movements in dealer and customer allowances of $0.3 billion.

Investing Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 net cash provided by investing activities was $0.5 billion compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0.7 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2012 due primarily to: (1) proceeds in excess of new investments in marketable securities of $1.2 billion as we reinvested maturing marketable securities in shorter-term cash equivalents to rebalance our investment portfolio in the normal course of business; and (2) decreased capital expenditures of $0.1 billion.

Financing Activities

In the three months ended March 31, 2013 net cash used in financing activities decreased by $0.1 billion due primarily to: (1) net increase in short-term debt facilities of $0.2 billion; partially offset by (2) additional payments on debt obligations of $0.1 billion.

Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Management believes free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the liquidity of our automotive operations and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow above those required in our business to sustain our operations. We measure free cash flow as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures. We measure adjusted free cash flow as free cash flow adjusted for certain voluntary management actions, primarily related to strengthening our balance sheet. These voluntary management actions represent items that management does not consider when assessing and managing the operational and financial performance of the organization and its management teams. Management believes that adjusting for these actions allows for greater transparency of operating trends and performance between periods. While management believes that free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow provide useful information, they are not operating measures under U.S. GAAP and there are limitations associated with their use. Our calculation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation. As a result the use of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, other measures such as cash flows from operating activities. Due to these limitations, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are used as supplements to U.S. GAAP measures.

Automotive Financing - GM Financial

Liquidity Overview

GM Financial's primary sources of cash are finance charge income, servicing fees, net distributions from securitization trusts, borrowings under credit facilities, transfers of finance receivables to trusts in securitization transactions, collections and recoveries on finance receivables and net proceeds from senior notes transactions. GM Financial's primary uses of cash are purchases of finance receivables and leased assets, funding of commercial finance receivables, repayment of credit facilities, securitization of

60



GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


notes payable and other indebtedness, funding credit enhancement requirements for securitization transactions and credit facilities and operating expenses. GM Financial continues to monitor and evaluate opportunities to optimize its liquidity position and the mix of its debt, which could include future opportunistic repayments or borrowings.

GM Financial used cash of $1.4 billion and $1.4 billion for the purchase of consumer finance receivables and $0.5 billion and $0.3 billion for the purchase of leased vehicles in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. GM Financial used cash of $1.0 billion for the funding of commercial finance receivables in the three months ended March 31, 2013. These purchases were funded initially utilizing cash and borrowings under credit facilities and subsequently funded in securitization transactions. GM Financial received cash of $1.9 billion and $1.0 billion from collections and recoveries on finance receivables in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Available liquidity
$

$

The increase in liquidity is due primarily to the addition of a warehouse credit facility to fund GM Financial's commercial lending assets.

Subsequent to March 31, 2013, in connection with the acquisition of certain of Ally Financial's European and Latin American automotive finance operations discussed above, GM Financial received a capital contribution from us of $1.3 billion and an intercompany loan of $0.8 billion and utilized $1.6 billion of its liquidity.

As previously described, GM Financial has the ability to borrow up to $4.0 billion against our three-year $5.5 billion secured revolving credit facility. GM Financial's borrowings under the facility are limited by our ability to borrow the entire amount available under the facility. Therefore GM Financial may be able to borrow up to $4.0 billion or may be unable to borrow depending on our borrowing activity. If GM Financial does borrow under the facility it expects such borrowings would be short-term in nature. Neither GM Financial, nor any of its subsidiaries, guarantee any obligations under this facility and none of its subsidiaries' assets secure this facility.

Credit Facilities

In the normal course of business, in addition to using available cash, GM Financial pledges receivables to and borrows under credit facilities to fund operations and repays these borrowings as appropriate under GM Financial's cash management strategy.

(c)
In March 2013 we entered into a $1.0 billion floorplan facility in the U.S. In March 2014 when the revolving period ends, and if the facility is not renewed, the outstanding balance will be repaid in fixed amounts over a six month period with a final maturity in August 2014.
(d)
In July 2013 when the revolving period ends, and if the facility is not renewed, the outstanding balance will be repaid over time based on the amortization of the related leased assets pledged until January 2019 when any remaining balance will be due and payable. The facility amount represents CAD $800 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the advances outstanding amount represents CAD $414 million and CAD $353 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

GM Financial is required to hold certain funds in restricted cash accounts to provide additional collateral for borrowings under the credit facilities. GM Financial's funding agreements contain various covenants requiring minimum financial ratios, asset quality and portfolio performance ratios (portfolio net loss and delinquency ratios, and pool level cumulative net loss ratios) as well as limits on deferment levels. Failure to meet any of these covenants could result in an event of default under these agreements. If an event of default occurs under these agreements, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under these agreements to be immediately due and payable, enforce their interests against collateral pledged under these agreements, restrict GM Financial's ability to obtain additional borrowings and/or remove GM Financial as servicer. As of March 31, 2013 GM Financial was in compliance with all covenants in its credit facilities.
Guarantees Provided to Third Parties

We have provided guarantees related to the residual value of operating leases, certain suppliers' commitments, certain product-related claims and third party commercial loans and other obligations. The maximum potential obligation under these commitments was $23.1 billion and $23.5 billion at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Refer to Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on guarantees we have provided.

Fair Value Measurements

Refer to Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for information regarding derivative fair value measurements.

Dividends

The declaration of any dividend on our common stock is a matter to be acted upon by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Since our formation we have not paid any dividends on our common stock and have no current plans to pay any dividends on our common stock. Our payment of dividends on our common stock in the future, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion out of funds legally available for that purpose and will depend on business conditions, our financial condition, earnings, liquidity and capital requirements, the covenants in our debt instruments and other factors.

So long as any share of our Series A or B Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on our common stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends have been paid on our Series A and B Preferred Stock, subject to exceptions, such as dividends on our common stock payable solely in shares of our common stock. Our secured revolving credit facility contains certain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, subject to exceptions, such as dividends payable solely in shares of our common stock. So long as any share of our Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution may be declared or paid on our Series B Preferred Stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends have been paid on our Series A Preferred Stock, subject to exceptions, such as dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock payable solely in shares of our common stock.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the periods presented. We believe that the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results could differ from the original estimates requiring adjustments to these balances in future periods. The critical accounting estimates that affect the condensed consolidated financial statements and the judgments and assumptions used are consistent with those described in the MD&A section in our 2012 Form 10-K.

Forward-Looking Statements

In this report and in reports we subsequently file and have previously filed with the SEC on Forms 10-K and 10-Q and file or furnish on Form 8-K, and in related comments by our management, we use words like “anticipate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “effect,” “estimate,” “evaluate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “initiative,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “priorities,” “project,” “pursue,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “when,” “would,” or the negative of any of those words or similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future events. In making these statements we rely on assumptions and analyses based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we consider appropriate under the circumstances. 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, both positive and negative. These factors, which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K, include among others the following:

•
Our ability to realize production efficiencies and to achieve reductions in costs as a result of our restructuring initiatives and labor modifications;
•
Our ability to maintain quality control over our vehicles and avoid material vehicle recalls;
•
Our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources including as required to fund our planned significant investment in new technology;
•
Our ability to realize successful vehicle applications of new technology;
•
Shortages of and increases or volatility in the price of oil, including as a result of political instability in the Middle East and African nations;

•
Costs and risks associated with litigation;
•
Significant increases in our pension expense or projected pension contributions resulting from changes in the value of plan assets, the discount rate applied to value the pension liabilities or other assumption changes; and
•
Changes in accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, which could have an effect on earnings.

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
