General Motors reported material impairments tied to a strategic realignment of its electric-vehicle capacity. The Audit Committee approved charges of $1.6 billion in GM North America for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This includes $1.2 billion of non-cash impairment and $0.4 billion of charges primarily for contract cancellation fees and commercial settlements that will have a cash impact.

GM cited recent U.S. policy changes—ending certain EV purchase tax incentives and easing emissions rules—which it expects will slow EV adoption, prompting a reassessment of EV capacity and its manufacturing footprint. The company noted the reassessment, including battery component investments, is ongoing and it is reasonably possible additional future material cash and non-cash charges could be recognized. GM said these amounts, and other insignificant charges this quarter, will be reflected as adjustments in its non-GAAP measures. The realignment does not impact the current retail portfolio of Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac EVs in production, which remain available.

General Motors ha riportato significative impairment legate a una riallineazione strategica della sua capacità di veicoli elettrici. Il Comitato di Audit ha approvato oneri di $1.6 miliardi in GM North America per i tre mesi terminati il 30 settembre 2025. Questo include $1.2 miliardi di impairment non in contanti e $0.4 miliardi di oneri principalmente per spese di cancellazione contrattuale e accordi commerciali che avranno un impatto sui flussi di cassa.

GM ha citato recenti cambiamenti di politica negli Stati Uniti—la cessazione di alcuni incentivi all'acquisto di veicoli elettrici e l'assestamento delle norme sulle emissioni—che, secondo la società, rallenteranno l'adozione dei veicoli EV, spingendo a una rivalutazione della capacità EV e della sua impronta produttiva. L'azienda ha rilevato che la rivalutazione, inclusi investimenti in componenti delle batterie, è in corso e che è ragionevolmente possibile che vengano riconosciuti ulteriori oneri significativi in contanti e non in contanti in futuro. GM ha detto che queste somme, e altre piccole oneri di questo trimestre, saranno riportate come aggiustamenti nelle sue misure non-GAAP. La riallineazione non influisce sul portafoglio retail attuale di veicoli EV Chevrolet, GMC e Cadillac in produzione, che rimangono disponibili.

GM citó recientes cambios de política en EE. UU.—que terminan ciertos incentivos fiscales para la compra de EV y relajan las normas de emisiones—que esperan que desaceleren la adopción de EV, lo que provoca una reevaluación de la capacidad de EV y de su huella de fabricación. La compañía señaló que la reevaluación, incluyendo inversiones en componentes de baterías, está en curso y es razonablemente posible que se reconozcan cargos futuros significativos en efectivo y no en efectivo. GM dijo que estas cantidades, y otros cargos insignificantes de este trimestre, se reflejarán como ajustes en sus medidas no-GAAP. La realineación no afecta la cartera minorista actual de Chevrolet, GMC y Cadillac EVs en producción, que siguen disponibles.

General Motors은 전기차 용량의 전략적 재조정과 관련된 실질적 손실을 보고했습니다. 감사위원회는 2025년 9월 30일 종료된 3개월에 대해 GM North America의 $1.6 billion의 충당금을 승인했습니다. 여기에는 $1.2 billion의 비현금 손실과 주로 계약 취소 수수료 및 상업적 합의로 인한 현금 영향이 있을 $0.4 billion의 충당금이 포함됩니다.

GM은 미국의 최근 정책 변화—일부 EV 구매 세액 공제 종료 및 배출 규칙 완화—가 EV 채택을 둔화시킬 것이며, 그 결과 EV 용량과 제조 발자국에 대한 재평가가 필요하다고 밝혔습니다. 재평가에는 배터리 구성 요소 투자도 포함되며 진행 중이며 향후 추가적인 실질적 현금 및 비현금 충당금이 인식될 가능성이 충분하다고 보았습니다. GM은 이 금액들과 이번 분기의 기타 미미한 비용들이 비-GAAP 지표에서 조정으로 반영될 것이라고 말했습니다. 재조정은 현재 생산 중인 Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac EV의 소매 포트폴리오에 영향을 주지 않으며 계속 이용 가능하다고 했습니다.

General Motors a enregistré des dépréciations significatives liées à un réalignement stratégique de sa capacité de véhicules électriques. Le comité d'audit a approuvé des charges de $1.6 billion chez GM North America pour les trois mois terminés le 30 septembre 2025. Cela comprend $1.2 billion de dépréciation non monétaire et $0.4 billion de charges principalement liées à des frais d'annulation de contrats et à des accords commerciaux qui auront un impact en espèces.

GM a cité des changements de politique américaine récents—la fin de certains incitatifs à l'achat de véhicules électriques et l'assouplissement des règles d'émissions—qu'il s'attend à ralentir l'adoption des VE, poussant à une réévaluation de la capacité VE et de son empreinte manufacturière. La société a noté que la réévaluation, incluant des investissements dans les composants de batteries, est en cours et il est raisonnablement probable que des charges supplémentaires futures en espèces et non en espèces puissent être constatées. GM a indiqué que ces montants, et d'autres petites charges de ce trimestre, seront reflétés comme des ajustements dans ses mesures non-GAAP.

General Motors meldete erhebliche Wertminderungen im Zusammenhang mit einer strategischen Neuausrichtung seiner Kapazitäten im Bereich Elektrofahrzeuge. Der Prüfungsausschuss genehmigte Aufwendungen von $1.6 billion in GM North America für das Quartal zum 30. September 2025. Davon entfallen $1.2 billion auf nicht bar abgegrenzte Wertminderungen und $0.4 billion auf Aufwendungen, überwiegend für Vertragskündigungsgebühren und kommerzielle Vergleiche, die Auswirkungen auf die Liquidität haben werden.

GM verwies auf jüngste US-Politikänderungen—das Ende bestimmter Steueranreize für EV-Käufe und eine Erleichterung der Emissionsregeln—von denen erwartet wird, dass sie die EV-Adoption verlangsamen, was eine Neubewertung der EV-Kapazität und der Fertigungslandschaft erforderlich macht. Das Unternehmen stellte fest, dass die Neubewertung, einschließlich Investitionen in Batteriezutaten, im Gange ist und es ist reasonably possible, dass künftig weitere wesentliche Bar- und Non-Cash-Aufwendungen anerkannt werden. GM sagte, dass diese Beträge sowie andere unbedeutende Aufwendungen dieses Quartals als Anpassungen in seinen Non-GAAP-Maßnahmen berücksichtigt werden. Die Neuausrichtung beeinträchtigt nicht das aktuelle Einzelhandelsportfolio von Chevrolet, GMC und Cadillac EVs in Produktion, die weiterhin verfügbar sind.

General Motors أبلغت عن انخفاضات كبيرة في القيمة مرتبطة بإعادة ترتيب استراتيجية لقدراتها في المركبات الكهربائية. وافق لجنة التدقيق على تكاليف قدرها $1.6 billion في GM North America للفترة المنتهية في 30 سبتمبر 2025. ويشمل ذلك $1.2 billion من انخفاض قيمة غير نقدي و $0.4 billion من التكاليف خاصة لرسوم الإلغاء التعاقدي والتسويات التجارية التي سيكون لها تأثير نقدي.

وأشارت GM إلى تغييرات سياسية أميركية حديثة—انتهاء بعض الحوافز الضريبية لشراء مركبات EV وتخفيف قواعد الانبعاثات—وأنها تتوقع أن يبطئ تبني المركبات الكهربائية، مما يدفع إلى إعادة تقييم لقدرات EV وبصمتها التصنيعية. وأشارت الشركة إلى أن إعادة التقييم، بما في ذلك استثمارات مكونات البطاريات، جارية وأنه من المحتمل بشكل معقول الاعتراف بوجود تكاليف نقدية وغير نقدية إضافية في المستقبل. قالت GM إن هذه المبالغ وغيرها من الرسوم غير المهمة هذا الربع سيتم عكسها كـت_adjustments في مقاييسها غير-GAAP. لا تؤثر إعادة التAlign على محفظة التجزئة الحالية من سيارات EV لشفروليه وجي إم سي وكاديلاك والتي ما زالت متاحة للإنتاج.

通用汽车 报告了与其电动车产能的战略重新调整相关的实质性减值。审计委员会批准了GM North America在截至2025年9月30日的三个月内的$1.6 billion费用。这其中包括$1.2 billion的非现金减值和$0.4 billion的费用,主要用于合同取消费和商业和解,对现金有影响。

GM 指出美国最近的政策变化——结束对某些电动车购买的税收激励并放宽排放规则——预计将放慢电动车的采用,从而促使对电动车产能及其制造足迹进行重新评估。公司指出,评估正在进行中,包括对电池组件投资,且未来可能合理地再确认额外的现金和非现金大额费用。GM 表示,这些金额以及本季度的其他不重要费用将反映在其非GAAP指标的调整中。此次重新调整不会影响正在生产的雪佛兰、GMC 和凯迪拉克电动车的当前零售组合,仍然可用。

Insights

GM books $1.6B in Q3 charges to realign EV capacity.

GM is recording total charges of $1.6 billion in GM North America for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, driven by a strategic reset of EV manufacturing capacity. The mix is $1.2 billion non-cash impairment and $0.4 billion in cash-related items (contract cancellations and commercial settlements).

The trigger is disclosed as U.S. policy shifts—terminated consumer EV tax incentives and reduced emissions stringency—which GM expects will slow EV adoption. Management indicates the reassessment, including battery component investments, is ongoing and may lead to additional material charges, affecting results and cash flows when recognized.

Key items to track are any subsequent quantified charges and how non-GAAP adjustments reflect these amounts. GM states the current retail EV lineup from Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac remains available, limiting near-term product disruption.

Item 2.06.  Material Impairments.
General Motors Company (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “GM”) made significant investments and contractual
commitments in the development of electric vehicles (EVs) to help the Company’s vehicle fleet comply with
emissions and fuel economy regulations that were scheduled to become increasingly stringent. Following recent
U.S. Government policy changes, including the termination of certain consumer tax incentives for EV purchases and
the reduction in the stringency of emissions regulations, we expect the adoption rate of EVs to slow. These
developments have caused us to reassess our EV capacity and manufacturing footprint. On October 7, 2025, the
Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved charges of $1.6 billion in GM North America
(GMNA) in the three months ended September 30, 2025, based on a planned strategic realignment of our EV
capacity and manufacturing footprint to consumer demand. These charges include non-cash impairment and other
charges of $1.2 billion as a result of adjustments to our EV capacity. In addition, the Company has incurred charges
of $0.4 billion, primarily related to contract cancellation fees and commercial settlements associated with EV-related
investments, which will have a cash impact. The reassessment of our EV capacity and manufacturing footprint,
including our investments in our battery component manufacturing, is ongoing, and it is reasonably possible that we
will recognize additional future material cash and non-cash charges that may adversely affect our results of
operations and cash flows in the period in which they are recognized. These amounts, and certain other insignificant
charges expected to be recognized in this quarter, will be reflected as adjustments in our non-GAAP financial
measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures” section in our 2024 Form 10-K for additional information. Our
strategic realignment of EV capacity does not impact today’s retail portfolio of Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac EVs
currently in production, and we expect these models to remain available to consumers.
Cautionary Note on Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K and the other reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) from time to time, as well as statements incorporated by reference herein and related comments by our
management, may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws.
Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements
represent our current judgment about possible future events and are often identified by words like “aim,”
“anticipate,” “appears,” “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,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of any of those
words or similar expressions. In making these statements, we rely on assumptions and analysis 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 future events or financial results, and our actual results may differ materially
due to a variety of important factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors, which may be revised or
supplemented in subsequent reports we file with the SEC, include, among others, the following: (1) our ability to
deliver new products, services, technologies and customer experiences in response to increased competition and
changing consumer needs and preferences; (2) our ability to attract and retain talented and highly skilled employees;
(3) our ability to timely fund and introduce new and improved vehicle models, including EVs, that are able to attract
a sufficient number of consumers; (4) our ability to profitably deliver a strategic portfolio of EVs; (5) adoptions of
EVs by consumers; (6) the success of our current line of ICE vehicles, particularly our full-size sport utility vehicles
(SUVs) and full-size pickup trucks; (7) our highly competitive industry, which has been historically characterized by
excess manufacturing capacity and the use of incentives, and the introduction of new and improved vehicle models
by our competitors; (8) the unique technological, operational, regulatory and competitive risks related to our
refocused autonomous vehicle (AV) strategy on personal vehicles; (9) risks associated with climate change,
including increased regulation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, our transition to EVs and the potential increased
impacts of severe weather events; (10) global automobile market sales volume, which can be volatile; (11)
inflationary pressures and persistently high prices and uncertain availability of raw materials and commodities used
by us and our suppliers, and instability in logistics and related costs; (12) our business in China, which is subject to
unique operational, competitive, regulatory and economic risks; (13) the success of our ongoing strategic business
relationships, particularly with respect to facilitating access to raw materials necessary for the production of EVs,
and of our joint ventures, which we cannot operate solely for our benefit and over which we may have limited
control; (14) the international scale and footprint of our operations, which expose us to a variety of unique political,
economic, competitive and regulatory risks, including the risk of changes in government leadership and laws
(including labor, trade, tax and other laws), political uncertainty or instability and economic tensions between
governments and changes in international trade policies, new barriers to entry and changes to or withdrawals from
free trade agreements, introduction of new tariffs or changes to announced tariffs directly and indirectly applicable
to our industry, changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates, economic downturns in the countries in which
we operate, differing local product preferences and product requirements, changes to and compliance with U.S. and
foreign countries' export controls and economic sanctions, differing labor regulations, requirements and union
relationships, differing dealer and franchise regulations and relationships, difficulties in obtaining financing in
foreign countries, and public health crises, including the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness; (15) any
significant disruption, including any work stoppages, at any of our manufacturing facilities; (16) the ability of our
suppliers to deliver parts, systems and components without disruption and at such times to allow us to meet
production schedules; (17) pandemics, epidemics, disease outbreaks and other public health crises; (18) the
possibility that competitors may independently develop products and services similar to ours, or that our intellectual
property rights are not sufficient to prevent competitors from developing or selling those products or services; (19)
our ability to manage risks related to security breaches, cyberattacks and other disruptions to our information
technology systems and networked products, including connected vehicles; (20) our ability to manage security
breaches and other disruptions to our in-vehicle systems; (21) our ability to comply with increasingly complex,
restrictive and punitive regulations relating to our enterprise data practices, including the collection, use, sharing and
security of the personal information of our customers, employees or suppliers; (22) our ability to comply with
extensive laws, regulations and policies applicable to our industry, operations and products, including those in the
One Big Beautiful Bill Act and/or relating to fuel economy, emissions and AVs; (23) costs and risks associated with
litigation and government investigations; (24) the costs and effect on our reputation of product safety recalls and
alleged defects in products and services; (25) any additional tax expense or exposure or failure to fully realize
available tax incentives; (26) our continued ability to develop captive financing capability through General Motors 
Financial Company, Inc.; and (27) any significant increase in our pension funding requirements. A further list and
discussion of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-
K and our subsequent filings with the SEC.
