Net income of $2.0 billion, earnings per share of $1.20
DETROIT, Nov. 10, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- General Motors Company today announced that for the third quarter ending September 30, 2010, the company generated:
- Revenue of $34.1 billion
- Net income attributable to common stockholders of $2.0 billion
- Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis and adjusted for 3-1 stock split of $1.20
- Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $2.3 billion
- Net cash flow from operating activities of $2.6 billion
- Free cash flow of $1.4 billion
“As demonstrated by our third consecutive quarter of profitability and positive cash flow, these results continue our significant progress,” said Chris Liddell, vice chairman and chief financial officer.
GM North America had EBIT in the third quarter 2010 of $2.1 billion, up from $1.6 billion in the second quarter. GM Europe had a loss before interest and taxes of $0.6 billion, down from a loss of $0.2 billion in the second quarter.

Net cash flow from operating activities was $2.6 billion and after adjusting for capital expenditures of $1.2 billion, free cash flow was $1.4 billion.
GM expects to also report positive EBIT for the fourth quarter, albeit at a significantly lower run rate than each of the first three quarters, and profitable year-end results for calendar year 2010.

Forward-Looking Statements
In this press release and in related comments by our management, our use of the words “expect,” “anticipate,” “possible,” “potential,” “target,” “believe,” “commit,” “intend,” “continue,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “project,” “projected,” “positioned” or similar expressions is intended to identify forward-looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future events. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but these statements are not guarantees of any events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors. Among other items, such factors might include: 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 and an appropriate level of debt, including as required to fund our planning significant investment in new technology; our ability to realize successful vehicle applications of new technology; and our ability to continue to attract new customers, particularly for our new products.
GM's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q provides information about these and other factors, which we may revise or supplement in future reports to the SEC.
Exhibit 1 General Motors Company and Subsidiaries Supplemental Material (Unaudited) The accompanying tables and charts for securities analysts include earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted EBIT and free cash flow which are not prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and have not been audited or reviewed by GM's independent auditors. EBIT, adjusted EBIT and free cash flow are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding GM's operating results because they exclude amounts that management does not consider part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the organization. Management believes these measures allow it to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance among geographic regions and assess whether GM's plan to return to sustained profitability is on target. Accordingly, GM believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in allowing for greater transparency of GM's core operations and they are therefore used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information, they are not operating measures under U.S. GAAP and there are limitations associated with their use. GM's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures 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 these non-GAAP financial measures 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 common stockholders. Due to these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures are used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures. The following table summarizes the reconciliation of EBIT to its most comparable U.S. GAAP measure (dollars in millions): | |||||
