NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
General Motors Company (sometimes referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as we, our, us, ourselves, the Company, General Motors or GM) designs, builds and sells cars, trucks, crossovers and automobile parts worldwide. We also provide automotive financing services through General Motors Financial Company, Inc. (GM Financial). We analyze the results of our businesscontinuing operations through the following segments: GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe (GME), GM International Operations (GMIO), GM South America (GMSA) and GM Financial. Nonsegment operations and Maven, our ride- and car-sharing business, are classified as Corporate. Corporate includes certain centrally recorded income and costs such as interest, income taxes, and corporate expenditures including autonomous vehicle-related engineering costs and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses.

The European Business is presented as discontinued operations, and the assets and liabilities of the European Business are presented as held for sale in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Refer to Note 2 for additional details regarding our planned disposal of these operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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, which consist of normal recurring adjustments and transactions or events discretely impacting the interim periods, 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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 20152016 Form 10-K. Except for per share amounts or as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions.

Effective January 1, 2016 we retrospectively adoptedIn May 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09), which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current. As a result current Deferred income taxes and Accrued liabilities decreased by $8.6 billion and $249 million and non-current Deferred income taxes increased by $8.4 billion at December 31, 2015 in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In February 2016 ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASU 2016-02) was issued which requires the lesseeus to recognize most leases on the balance sheet thereby resulting in the recognitionrevenue when a customer obtains control rather than when we have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of lease assetsa good or service and liabilities for those leases currently classifiedrequires expanded disclosures. ASU 2014-09, as operating leases. The accounting for leases where we are the lessor is largely unchanged. ASU 2016-02amended, is effective for annual reporting periodsus beginning after December 15, 2018January 1, 2018. ASU 2014-09 will affect the amount and timing of certain revenue related transactions primarily resulting from the earlier recognition of certain sales incentives and fixed fee license arrangements. Upon adoption of ASU 2014-09 sales incentives will be recorded at the time of sale rather than at the later of sale or announcement and fixed fee license arrangements will be recognized when the customer is granted access to intellectual property instead of over the contract period. Certain transactions with earlydaily rental car companies may also qualify to be accounted for as a sale as opposed to the current accounting as an operating lease. We expect to adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-09 on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative adjustment to equity. Upon adoption permitted.of ASU 2014-09 we estimate a reduction to Equity of approximately $500 million to $1.0 billion. This estimate is subject to change as a result of future changes in market conditions, incentive program offerings, and dealer inventory levels. We are currently assessingcontinue to assess the overall impact the adoption of ASU 2016-022014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.statements and are continuing to test our processes designed to comply with ASU 2014-09 to permit adoption by January 1, 2018.

In JuneJanuary 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326):2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial InstrumentsAssets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-13)2016-01), was issuedwhich requires equity investments that requires entitiesare not accounted for under the equity method of accounting to use a Current Expected Credit Loss model which is a new impairment model based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under this model, an entity would recognize an impairment allowance equal to its current estimate of all contractual cash flows that the entity does not expect to collect from financial assetsbe measured at amortized cost. The entity's estimate would consider relevant information about past events, current conditionsfair value with changes recognized in net income and reasonablewhich updates certain presentation and supportable forecasts, which will result in recognition of lifetime expected credit losses by GM Financial upon loan origination.disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-132016-01 is effective for interimus beginning January 1, 2018. At June 30, 2017 the carrying value of equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting totaled approximately $500 million and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with earlyunrealized gains or losses were insignificant. Currently we do not believe the adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently assessingof ASU 2016-01 will be material to our consolidated financial statements, however changes in future market conditions and equity investment balances prior to the implementation date will affect the impact ASU 2016-13 willthe adoption may have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017 the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, "Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" (ASU 2017-07), which requires that the service cost component of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) (income) expense be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs, while the remaining components of net periodic pension and OPEB (income) expense are to be presented outside operating income. ASU 2017-07 is effective for us on a retrospective basis beginning January 1, 2018 and will result in the reclassification of non-service cost components from primarily Automotive cost of sales to Interest income and other non-operating income (loss), net. Assuming the sale of the European Business as described in Note 2

closes prior to adoption, we expect a resulting decrease to Operating income and an increase to Interest income and other non-operating income (loss), net of approximately $1.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Note 2. Discontinued Operations
On March 5, 2017 we entered into a Master Agreement (the Agreement) to sell our European Business, consisting of the Opel/Vauxhall Business and the Fincos, to Peugeot, S.A. (PSA Group) for net consideration with an estimated value of approximately $2.2 billion based upon exchange rates as of June 30, 2017, subject to foreign currency fluctuations. The net consideration to be paid for the Opel/Vauxhall Business under the Agreement has an estimated value of approximately $1.2 billion, consisting of (1) approximately $1.0 billion in cash; and (2) $700 million in warrants in PSA Group; partially offset by (3) the approximate $500 million de-risking premium payment to be made to PSA Group for assuming certain underfunded pension liabilities. The warrants are not exercisable for five years and do not include any governance or voting rights with respect to PSA Group. In addition, we have agreed to sell the shares of PSA Group received upon exercise of the warrants within 35 days after exercise. The net consideration to be paid for the Fincos will be 0.8 times their book value at closing, which we estimate will be approximately $1 billion. The purchase price is subject to certain working capital adjustments as provided in the Agreement.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the assets and liabilities of the European Business have been presented as being held for sale and its operations and cash flows have been presented as discontinued operations. The transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business is expected to close in the second half of 2017 subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions, and the transfer of the Fincos is expected to close as soon as practicable after the receipt of the necessary antitrust, financial and other regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions, which may be after the transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business. The transfer of the Fincos will not occur unless the transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business occurs.

The Company expects to recognize a charge resulting from the sale of the European Business of approximately $5.5 to $6.0 billion. The expected charge principally relates to: (1) approximately $3.9 billion of deferred tax assets that will no longer be realizable or that will transfer to PSA Group upon sale; (2) approximately $1.6 billion related to previously deferred pension losses and payment of a de-risking premium to PSA Group for its assumption of certain underfunded pension liabilities; (3) a disposal loss on the Fincos of up to $700 million; and (4) other net charges primarily related to contract cancellations, working capital adjustments and certain transitional services and other costs to support the separation of operations to be provided for a period of time following closing. Proceeds will partially offset certain of these charges. Of these amounts, in the three months ended June 30, 2017 we recognized a disposal loss of $324 million as a result of the Fincos being classified as held for sale, charges of $421 million for the cancellation of product programs resulting from the convergence of vehicle platforms between our European Business and PSA Group and other insignificant charges. These charges were recorded in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. The remainder of the expected charge will be recognized upon closing.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary (the Seller) has agreed to indemnify PSA Group for certain losses resulting from any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties or breaches of our covenants included in the Agreement and for certain other liabilities, including emissions and product liabilities. The Company has entered into a guarantee for the benefit of PSA Group and pursuant to which the Company has agreed to guarantee the Seller's obligation to indemnify PSA Group for certain losses resulting from any inaccuracy of certain representations and warranties or breaches of our covenants in the Agreement and for certain other liabilities. Certain of these indemnification obligations are subject to time limitations, thresholds and/or caps as to the amount of required payments.

We will retain net underfunded pension liabilities of approximately $7.0 billion primarily to current pensioners and former employees of the European Business with vested pension rights. PSA Group will assume approximately $2.9 billion of net underfunded pension liabilities primarily with respect to active employees of the European Business, and at closing, the Seller will make payments to PSA Group, or one or more pension funding vehicles, of approximately $3.4 billion, subject to foreign currency and discount rate fluctuations, in respect of these assumed liabilities, which includes pension funding payments for active employees and the de-risking premium payment of approximately $500 million discussed above. The pension liabilities described herein are calculated as of December 31, 2016 and have been updated to reflect foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2017. The actual pension liabilities retained by the Seller and assumed by PSA Group will be determined at the closing date and, as a result, may differ from the amounts reported herein. We have entered into interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forwards to hedge market risk associated with funding pension liabilities assumed by PSA Group. At closing we expect to draw upon our three year revolving credit facility to fund the payments made to PSA Group for the transferred pension liabilities. We plan to issue debt securities thereafter to repay the draw on our credit facility subject to market conditions.

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

As part of the retained pension liabilities described above, we will retain the United Kingdom defined benefit pension plans in existence at signing related to the European Business, including responsibility for service cost accruals through the closing date. Those plans with active participants will close to future accrual as of the day before closing. Any future service cost accruals on and from the closing date will be the responsibility of PSA Group.

We have agreed to purchase from and supply to PSA Group certain vehicles for a period of time following closing. As a result, Total net sales and revenue from continuing operations include $760 million and $570 million related to transactions with the European Business for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and Total costs and expenses from continuing operations include $713 million and $512 million related to transactions with the European Business for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Intercompany profit on these transactions was eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2. Acquisition of Business
On May 12, 2016 we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Cruise Automation, Inc. (Cruise), an autonomous vehicle technology company, to further accelerate our development of autonomous vehicles. The deal consideration at closing was $581 million, of which $291 million was paid in cash and approximately $290 million was paid through the issuance of new common stock. The fair value of the common stock issued was determined based on the closing price of our common stock on May 12, 2016. In conjunction with the acquisition, we entered into other agreements that will result in future costs contingent upon the continued employment of key individuals and additional performance-based awards contingent upon the achievement of specific technology and commercialization milestones.

Of the total consideration, $130 million was allocated to intangible assets, primarily in-process research and development with an indefinite life until fully developed and commercialized, $39 million was allocated to deferred tax liabilities, net of other assets, and $490 million was allocated to non-tax-deductible goodwill in GMNA primarily related to the synergies expected to arise as a result of the acquisition.

GM Financial estimatesWe estimate the fair value of retail finance receivables using observable and unobservable Level 3 inputs within a cash flow model, a Level 3 input.model. The inputs reflect assumptions regarding expected prepayments, deferrals, delinquencies, recoveries and charge-offs of the loans within the portfolio. The cash flow model produces an estimated amortization schedule of the finance receivables which is the basis for the calculation of the series ofreceivables. The projected cash flows thatare then discounted to derive the fair value of the portfolio. The series of cash flows is calculated and discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital or current interest rates. The weighted-average cost of capital uses 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 affect the credit performance of the portfolio and therefore could potentially affect the assumptions used in GM Financial'sour cash flow model. A

Retail Finance Receivables GM Financial usesWe use proprietary scoring systems in itsthe underwriting process that measure the credit quality of retail finance receivables using several factors, such as credit bureau information, consumer credit risk scores (e.g. FICO scores or its equivalent) and contract characteristics. In addition to GM Financial's proprietary scoring systems, GM Financial considersWe also consider other individual consumer factors such as employment history, financial stability and capacity to pay. Subsequent to origination GM Financial reviewswe review the credit quality of retail finance receivables based on customer payment activity. In North America, while we historically focused on consumers with lower than prime credit scores, we have expanded our prime lending programs. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015, 51%2016, 41% and 60%48% of the retail finance receivables in North America were from consumers with sub-prime credit scores, which are defined as FICO scores or its equivalent of less than 620 at the time of loan origination. At the time of loan origination, substantially all of GM Financial's international consumers have the equivalent of prime credit scores.

An account is considered delinquent if a substantial portion of a scheduled payment has not been received by the date such payment was contractually due. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 the accrual of finance charge income had been suspended on delinquent retail finance receivables with contractual amounts due of $816$772 million and $778$798 million.

debt issued by these VIEs is backed by finance receivables and leasing related assets transferred by GM Financial to the VIEs (Securitized Assets). GM Financial determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the SPEs because: (1)because the servicing responsibilities for the Securitized Assets give GM Financial the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIEs;VIEs and (2) the variable interests in the VIEs give GM Financial the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive residual returns that could potentially be significant. The assets serve as the sole source of repayment for the debt issued by these entities. Investors in the notes issued by the VIEs do not have recourse to GM Financial or its other assets, with the exception of customary representation and warranty repurchase provisions and indemnities that GM Financial provides as the servicer. GM Financial is not required and does not currently intend to provide additional financial support to these SPEs. While

The fair value of automotive debt measured utilizing Level 1 inputs was based on quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments that a market participant can access at the measurement date. The fair value of automotive debt measured utilizing Level 2 inputs was based on a discounted cash flow model using observable inputs. This model utilizes observable inputs such as contractual repayment terms and benchmark yield curves, plus a spread based on our senior unsecured notes that is intended to represent our nonperformance risk. We obtain the benchmark yield curves and yields on unsecured notes from independent sources that are widely used in the financial industry. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015 2016 the fair value of automotive debtdebt exceeded its carrying amount due primarily to a decrease in bond yields compared to yields at the time of issuance.

In February 2016 we issued $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes comprising $1.25 billion of 6.60% notes due in 2036 and $750 million of 6.75% notes due in 2046. These notes contain terms and covenants customary of these types of securities including limitations on the amount of certain secured debt we may incur. The net proceeds from the issuance of these senior unsecured notes were used to fund discretionary contributions to our U.S. hourly pension plan as described in Note 10.

In May 2016 we amended and restated our two primary revolving credit facilities, increasing our aggregate borrowing capacity from $12.5 billion to $14.5 billion. These facilities consist of a three-year, $4.0 billion facility and a five-year, $10.5 billion facility. Both facilities are available to us as well as certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, including GM Financial. The three-year, $4.0 billion facility allows for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and other currencies and includes a GM Financial borrowing sub-limit of $1.0 billion and a letter of credit sub-facility of $1.0 billion. The five-year, $10.5 billion facility allows for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and other currencies and includes a GM Financial borrowing sub-limit of $3.0 billion and a letter of credit sub-limit of $500 million. 

The revolving credit facilities require us to maintain at least $4.0 billion in global liquidity and at least $2.0 billion in U.S. liquidity. If we fail to maintain an investment grade corporate rating from at least two of the following credit rating agencies: Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody's Investor Service (Moody's) and Standard & Poor's (S&P), certain subsidiaries of ours will be required to provide guarantees under the terms of the revolving credit facilities. Interest rates on obligations under the revolving credit facilities are based on prevailing annual interest rates for Eurodollar loans or an alternative base rate, plus an applicable margin.

Effective January 2016 the discount rate used to determine the service cost and interest cost for our pension and other postretirement benefits (OPEB) plans was based on individual annual yield curve rates. This refinement is considered a change in estimate and has been applied prospectively. The use of the individual annual yield curve rates has reduced the service cost and interest cost by $192 million and $577 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, which will be offset in the actuarial gains and losses upon the next remeasurement of the plans' obligations.

We made discretionary contributions to our U.S. hourly pension plan of $2.0 billion in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. These discretionary contributions were funded with the net proceeds from the issuance of the automotive senior unsecured notes described in Note 8.

The curtailment charges recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were due primarily to the General Motors of Canada Company (GM Canada) hourly pension plan that was remeasured as a result of a voluntary separation program.notes.

Note 11.13. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation-Related Liability and Tax Administrative Matters In the normal course of business, we are named from time to time as a defendant in various legal actions, including arbitrations, class actions and other litigation, that arise in connection with our business as a global company. We identify below the material individual proceedings and investigations in connection with which we believe a material loss is reasonably possible or probable. We accrue for matters when we believe that losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 total accruals were $1.3 billion andof $1.2 billion and were recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities. In many proceedings, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss. Accordingly an adverse outcome from such proceedings could exceed the amounts accrued by an amount that could be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Proceedings Related to Ignition Switch Recall and Other Recalls In 2014 we announced various recalls relating to safety customer satisfaction and other matters. Those recalls included recalls to repair ignition switches that could under certain circumstances unintentionally move from the “run” position to the “accessory” or “off” position with a corresponding loss of power, which could in turn prevent airbags from deploying in the event of a crash.

Through October 19, 2016July 17, 2017 we were aware of over 100 putative class actions pending against GM in various federal and state trial courts in the U.S. and 17 putative class actions pending in various Provincial Courts in Canada alleging that consumers who purchased or leased vehicles manufactured by GM or General Motors Corporation had been economically harmed by one or more of the recalls announced in 2014 and/or the underlying vehicle conditions associated with those recalls (economic-loss cases). In general, these economic-loss cases seek recovery for purported compensatory damages, such as alleged benefit-of-the-bargain damagedamages or damages related to alleged diminution in value of the vehicles, as well as punitive

Through October 19, 2016 weWe also were aware of 286several hundred actions pending in various federal and state trial courts in the U.S. and 18 actions pending in various Provincial Courts in Canada alleging injury or death as a result of defects that may be the subject of recalls announced in 2014 (personal injury cases). In general, these personal injury cases seek recovery for purported compensatory damages, punitive damages and other relief.

Since June 2014 During 2016, several bellwether trials took place in the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) has issued orders from time to time directing that certain pending economic-loss and personal injury federal lawsuits involving faulty or allegedly faulty ignition switches or other defects that may be related tocases in the recalls announced in 2014 be transferred to, and consolidated in, a single federal court,U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the multidistrict litigation)(Southern District), which is administering a federal multi-district litigation, and in a Texas state court, which is administering a Texas state multi-district litigation (MDL). Through October 19, 2016 the JPML has transferred 306 pending cases to, and consolidated them with, the multidistrict litigation. At the court's suggestion, the parties to the multidistrict litigation engage from time to timeNone of these trials resulted in discussionsa finding of possible mechanisms to resolve pending litigation. Since September 17, 2015 we have reached various agreements with certain personal injury claimants regarding possible settlement of their claims.

In order to facilitate the resolution of the multidistrict litigation,liability against GM. Another bellwether trial occurred in the Southern District of New York (the district court) scheduled six cases involving personal injury for bellwether trials in 2016 (i.e., trials designed to be representative of the group of personal injury cases in the multidistrict litigation). Through OctoberJuly 2017. On July 19, 2016 two of the cases set for bellwether trials were dismissed with prejudice by the plaintiffs. In a third bellwether trial,2017 a jury returned a verdict finding thatin favor of GM was not liable toin the plaintiffs. In the remaining three federal cases set for bellwether trials in 2016, GM and the plaintiffs entered into confidential settlement agreements to resolve those cases prior to trial. The district court has scheduled additionalAdditional personal injury bellwether trials forare scheduled later in 2017 and 2018. In addition to the federal bellwether trials, a Texas state court administering a Texas state court multidistrict litigation scheduled two bellwether trials in August and September 2016. In the first case, tried in August 2016, a jury returned a verdict finding that GM was not liable to the plaintiffs. In the second case, the Texas state court granted summary judgment to GM and dismissed plaintiff's case before the trial commenced. Each bellwether trial will be tried on its facts and the result of any subsequent bellwether trial may be different from the earlier bellwether trials.2018.

On July 15, 2016 the district court overseeing the federal multidistrict litigation issued a ruling onSouthern District granted in part and denied in part GM's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' complaint in the federal multi-district litigation seeking damages for alleged economic lossesloss relating to the ignition switch and other recalls by GM in 2014. The district court granted GM's motion in part and denied it in part. The district courtAmong other things, the Southern District dismissed plaintiffs' claims brought under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO) and those brought by any plaintiff whose vehicle was not allegedly defective when sold. The district court also rejected plaintiffs' broadest theory of damages – that plaintiffs could seek recovery for alleged reduction in the value of their vehicles due to damage to GM's reputation and brand as a result of the ignition switch matter. The district court also held that plaintiffs did not have a common basis for their claims across all defects and models to proceed as a single class, and that the remaining claims may have to proceed individually or in subclasses of vehicles affected by a common defect. Further, the district court held that the named plaintiffs may assert claims only on behalf of owners of the same vehicle models that they themselves purchased (or leased) or models with sufficiently similar defects, and that it will not specify the specific permissible class claims until the class-certification stage. Finally, the district courtSouthern District granted GM's motion to dismiss with respect to certain state law claims but denied it as to other state law claims. The court held that the viability of state law claims will depend on each state's specific laws and plaintiffs' specific factual allegations. While the ruling is limited to post-bankruptcy claims, we believe the district court's legal holdings rejecting plaintiffs' broadest damages theory and dismissing certain other claims should apply to similarly limit plaintiffs' pre-bankruptcy claims.

On September 15, 2016, plaintiffs filed a Fourth Amended Consolidated Complaint amending their economic losseconomic-loss claims, and GM moved to dismiss certain claims in that Complaint as well. On June 30, 2017, the Southern District issued an order granting in part and denying in part GM’s motion. In its order, among other things, the Southern District reaffirmed its dismissal of plaintiffs’ brand devaluation claim and theory of damages, dismissed the claims of any plaintiff who purchased a vehicle before GM came into existence in July 2009, and dismissed the claims of any plaintiff who disposed of their vehicle before announcement of the ignition switch recalls in February 2014. With respect to plaintiffs’ claims under the laws of certain states that were at issue in the motion, the Court granted GM’s motion to dismiss with respect to certain state law claims but denied it as to other state law claims.

Because many plaintiffs in the actions described in the above paragraphs are suing over the conduct of General Motors Corporation or vehicles manufactured by that entity for liabilities not expressly assumed by GM, we moved to enforce the terms of the July 2009 Sale Order and Injunction (2009 Sale Order) issued byIn April 2015 the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Bankruptcy Court) to preclude claims from being asserted against us for, among other things, personal injuries based on pre-sale accidents, any economic-loss claims based on acts or conduct of General Motors Corporation and claims asserting successor

liability for obligations owed by General Motors Corporation (successor liability claims). On April 15, 2015 the Bankruptcy Court issued a decision precluding claims against us based upon pre-sale accidents, claims based upon the acts or conduct by General Motors Corporation and claims asserting successor liability claims,for obligations owed by General Motors Corporation (successor liability claims), except for claims asserting liabilities that had been expressly assumed by us in the July 2009 Sale Agreement, and claims that could be asserted against us only if they were otherwise viable and arose solely out of our own independent post-closing acts and did not in any way rely on acts or conduct by General Motors Corporation. Plaintiffs appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s decision and we cross appealed with respect to certain issues to preserve our rights.

On July 13, 2016 a three judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (Second Circuit) issued a decision and judgment affirming in part, reversing in part, and vacating portions of the Bankruptcy Court's April 15, 2015 decision and subsequent judgment. Among other things, the Second Circuit held that the 2009 Sale Order could not be enforced to bar claims against GM asserted by either plaintiffs who purchased used vehicles after the sale closing or against purchasers who asserted claims relating to the ignition switch defect, including pre-closing personal injury claims and economic losseconomic-loss claims. The Second Circuit also vacated that portion of the Bankruptcy Court judgment enforcing the 2009 Sale Order against plaintiffs with pre-sale claims based on defects other than the ignition switch and remanded that issue to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. The Second Circuit denied our request for an en banc review of the panel's decision and judgment and we now intend to appeal the Second Circuit's decision toIn April 2017, the United States Supreme Court. In 2014, GM voluntarily established the Ignition Switch Recall Compensation Program, administered by an independent administrator, which provided compensationCourt denied our petition for individuals who suffered personal injuries resulting from the ignition switch defect, both before and after bankruptcy. As a result, certain pre-closing personal injurycertiorari. Plaintiffs asserting claims relating to the ignition switch defect in the MDL and other courts must still establish their right to assert successor liability claims and demonstrate that their claims have merit. Certain of these claims were resolved through this program. Refer to theGM's Ignition Switch Recall Compensation Program section below for a discussionand should not be the subject of the payments made under this program through September 30, 2016.

In addition on December 4, 2015 the Bankruptcy Court issued a judgment regarding certain issues, including the extent to which punitive damages could be asserted against GM based on claims in connection with vehicles manufactured by General Motors Corporation, for which GM assumed liability in the 2009 Sale Agreement. Various groups of plaintiffs have appealed that decision to the district court overseeing the multidistrictadditional litigation.

In the putative shareholder class action filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan (Eastern District) on behalf of purchasers of our common stock from November 17, 2010 to July 24, 2014 (Shareholder Class Action), the lead plaintiff, the New York State Teachers' Retirement System, alleged that GM and several current and former officers and employees made material misstatements and omissions relating to problems with the ignition switch and other matters in SEC filings and other public statements.

On February 11,May 23, 2016 the Delaware Supreme Court affirmed the dismissal of four consolidated shareholder derivative actions that had been pending in the Delaware Chancery Court. In light of the Delaware Supreme Court’s decision, proceedings have resumed in the two consolidated shareholder derivative actions in the Eastern District that had been stayed pending dispositionentered a judgment approving a class-wide settlement of the Delaware cases andShareholder Class Action for $300 million.

First, withWith regard to the investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office, on September 16, 2015, we entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the DPA) with the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding its investigation of the events leading up to certain recalls regarding faulty ignition switches. UnderPursuant to the DPA we have paid the United States $900 million as a financial penalty, and we agreed to retain an independent monitor to review and assess our policies, practices or procedures related to statements about motor vehicle safety, the provision of information to those responsible for recall decisions, recall processes and addressing known defects in certified pre-owned vehicles. In addition, the U.S. Attorney's Office agreed to recommend to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Southern District) that prosecution of GM on thea two-count information filed in the Southern District be deferred for three years. The U.S. Attorney's Office also agreed that if we are in compliance with all of our obligations under the DPA, the U.S. Attorney's Office will, within 30 days after the expiration of the period of deferral (including any extensions thereto), seek dismissal with prejudice of the two-count information filed against GM. For a further description of the terms and conditions of the DPA refer to Note 15 of our 20152016 Form 10-K.
Second, on May 23, 2016 the district court entered a judgment approving a class-wide settlement of the Shareholder Class Action described above for $300 million. One significant shareholder opted out of the settlement prior to approval and one shareholder has filed an appeal of the decision approving the settlement.

Third, on September 17, 2015 we announced we had reached a memorandum of understanding regarding a $275 million settlement that could potentially cover approximately 1,400 personal injury claimants who have lawsuits pending in the multidistrict litigation or who have otherwise asserted claims related to the ignition switch recall or certain other recalls announced in 2014. In December 2015 the court overseeing the multidistrict litigation established a qualified settlement fund and appointed a special master to administer certain facets of the settlement pursuant to the terms of the memorandum of understanding. The special master commenced his work in the three months ended December 31, 2015 and his work continues.

The total amount accrued for ignition switch and the various other related recalls at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 reflects amounts for a combination of settled but unpaid matters, and for the remaining unsettled investigations, claims and/or lawsuits relating to the ignition switch recalls and other related recalls representsrecalls. The amounts accrued for those unsettled investigations, claims, and/or lawsuits represent a combination of our best single point estimates where determinable and, where no such single point estimate is determinable, our estimate of the low end of the range of probable loss with regard to such matters, if that is determinable. We believe it is probable that we will incur additional liabilities beyond what has already been accrued with regard tofor at least a portion of the remaining matters, whether through settlement or judgment; however, we are currently unable to estimate an overall amount or range of loss because these matters involve significant uncertainties. The uncertainties, includeincluding the legal theory or the nature of the investigations, claims and/or lawsuits, the complexity of the facts, the lack of documentation available to us with respect to particular cases or groups of cases, the results of any investigation or litigation and the timing of resolution of the investigation or litigations, including any appeals, further proceedings regarding interpretation and application of the Second Circuit's July 13, 2016 decision and certain common law doctrines, and further proceedings following the Second Circuit'sSouthern District's July 1315, 2016 decision and its June 30, 2017 decision on GM's motion to dismiss the district court's July 15 decision.Fourth Amended and Consolidated Complaint. We will continue to consider resolution of pending matters involving ignition switch recalls and other recalls where it makes sense to do so.

GM Canada Dealers' Claim On February 12, 2010 a claim was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against GM Canada on behalf of a purported class of over 200 former GM Canada dealers (the Plaintiff Dealers) which had entered into wind-down agreements with GM Canada. In May 2009 in the context of the global restructuring of GM's business and the possibility that GM Canada might be required to initiate insolvency proceedings, GM Canada offered the Plaintiff Dealers the wind-down agreements to assist with their exit from the GM Canada dealer network and to facilitate winding down their operations in an orderly fashion. The Plaintiff Dealers allege that their Dealer Sales and Service Agreements were wrongly terminated by GM Canada and that GM Canada 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” 750 million Canadian Dollars, 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. A number of former dealers opted out of participation in the litigation, leaving 181 dealers in the certified class. On July 8, 2015 the Ontario Superior Court dismissed the Plaintiff Dealers’ claim against GM Canada. The court also dismissed GM Canada’s counterclaim against the Plaintiff Dealers for repayment of the wind-down payments made to them by GM Canada as well as for other relief. All parties have filed notices of appeal. The appeals and cross appeals are scheduled to be heard byOn July 4, 2017, the Ontario Court of AppealAppeals for Ontario affirmed the Superior Court's judgment with regard to GM Canada. It is possible that the Plaintiff Dealers may seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. We cannot estimate the range of reasonably possible loss in January 2017.the event of liability as the case presents a variety of different legal theories, none of which GM Canada believes are valid.

GM Korea Wage Litigation Commencing on or about September 29, 2010 current and former hourly employees of GM Korea Company (GM Korea) filed eight 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 bonuses and certain allowances in its calculation of Ordinary Wages due under the Presidential Decree of the Korean Labor Standards Act.

Seoul High Court (an intermediate level appellate court) affirmed a decision of the Incheon District Court in a case involving five GM Korea employees which was contrary to GM Korea's position. GM Korea appealed to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Korea (Supreme Court). On May 29, 2014 the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Seoul High Court for consideration consistent with earlier Supreme Court precedent holding that while fixed bonuses should be included in the calculation of Ordinary Wages, claims for retroactive application of this rule would be barred under certain circumstances. On reconsideration, the Seoul High Court held in GM Korea’s favor on October 30, 2015, after which the plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court. In July 2014 GM Korea and its labor union also agreed to include bonuses and certain allowances in Ordinary Wages retroactive to March 1, 2014. Therefore our accrual related to these cases was reclassified from a contingent liability to the Pensions liability. We estimate our reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued to be 604 billion South Korean Won (equivalent to $551 million)approximately $547 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, which relates to periods before March 1, 2014. We are also party to litigation with current and former salaried employees over allegations relating to Ordinary Wages regulation. On November 26 and 27, 2015 the Supreme Court remanded two salary cases to the Seoul High Court for a review of the merits. At June 30, 2017 the reasonably possible loss for salary cases in excess of amounts accrued was approximately $167 million. Both the scope of claims asserted and GM Korea's assessment of any or all of the individual claim elements may change if new information becomes available. These cases are currently pending before various courts in Korea.

GM Brazil Indirect Tax Claim In March 2017 the Supreme Court of Brazil issued a decision concluding that a certain state value added tax should not be included in the calculation of federal gross receipts taxes. The decision reduces GM Brazil’s gross receipts tax prospectively and, potentially, retrospectively. The retrospective right to recover is under judicial review and we do not expect resolution during 2017. If the Supreme Court of Brazil grants retrospective recovery we estimate potential recoveries of up to $1.4 billion. However, given the remaining uncertainty regarding the ultimate judicial resolution of this matter we are unable to assess the likelihood of any favorable outcome at this time. We have not recorded any amounts relating to the retrospective nature of this matter.

Other Litigation-Related Liability and Tax Administrative Matters Various other legal actions, governmental investigations, claims and proceedings are pending against us or our related companies or joint ventures, including matters arising out of alleged product defects; employment-related matters; governmental regulations relating to product and workplace safety, vehicle emissions, including CO2and nitrogen oxide, fuel economy;economy, and related government regulations; product warranties; financial services; dealer, supplier and other contractual relationships; government regulations relating to payments to foreign companies; government regulations relating to competition issues; tax-related matters not subject to the provision of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes (indirect tax-related matters); product design, manufacture and performance; consumer protection laws; and environmental matters.protection laws, including laws regulating air emissions, water discharges, waste management and environmental remediation.

There are several putative class actions pending against GM in federal courts in the U.S. and in the Provincial Courts in Canada alleging that various vehicles sold including model year 2011-2016 Duramax Diesel Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra vehicles, violate federal and state emission standards. GM also faces a series of additional lawsuits based primarily on allegations in the Duramax suit, including putative shareholder class actions claiming violations of federal securities law. At this early stage of these proceedings, we are unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or an estimate of the amounts or range of possible loss.

We believe that appropriate accruals have been established for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that the resolution of one or more of these matters could exceed the amounts accrued in an amount that could be material to our results of operations. We also from time to time receive subpoenas and other inquiries or requests for information from agencies or other representatives of U.S. federal, state and foreign governments on a variety of issues.

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. 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. Certain South American administrative proceedings are indirect tax-related and may require that we deposit funds in escrow or provide an alternative form of security which may range from $300$200 million to $700$600 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. We believe that appropriate

accruals have been established for losses that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. For indirect tax-related matters we estimate our reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts accrued to be up to approximately $1.0 billion$900 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

Takata Matters On May 4, 2016 the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued an amended consent order requiring Takata Corporation (Takata) to file defect information reports (DIRs) for previously unrecalled front airbag inflators that contain anphase-stabilized ammonium nitrate-based propellant without a moisture absorbing desiccant on a multi-year, risk-based schedule through 2019 impacting tens of millions of vehicles produced by numerous automotive manufacturers. NHTSA concluded that the likely root cause of the rupturing of the airbag inflators is a function of time, temperature cycling and environmental moisture. On May 16, 2016 Takata issued its first DIR in connection with the amended consent order. Its next DIR is due to be filedorder, and on December 31, 2016.January 3, 2017, Takata issued its second set of DIRs.

Although we do not believe there is a safety defect at this time in any GM vehicles within the scope of the Takata DIR,DIRs, in cooperation with NHTSA we filed a Preliminary DIRDIRs on May 27, 2016, updated as of June 13, 2016, covering 2.5 million of certain of our GMT900 vehicles, which are full-size pick-up trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). AsOn November 15, 2016 we filed a resultpetition for inconsequentiality and request for deferral of discussionsdetermination regarding those GMT900 vehicles. On November 28, 2016 NHTSA granted GM's deferral request in connection with NHTSAthis petition. The deferral provides GM until August 31, 2017 to present evidence and as described in the Preliminary DIR, GM believes it will have an opportunity to prove to NHTSAanalysis that the inflators in theseour vehicles do not and will not pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety. We believe that further evidence, analysis, and testing will prove to NHTSA that the non-desiccated Takata inflators in GMT900 vehicles do not present an unreasonable risk to safety and that no repair should ultimately be required.

Takata filed a second set of equipment DIRs on January 3, 2017 and we filed a second set of Preliminary DIRs for certain GMT900 vehicles on January 10, 2017. These January 2017 DIRs, covering additional GMT900 vehicles, are consistent with GM’s May 2016 DIRs. On the same day, we also filed a second petition for inconsequentiality and deferral of decision with respect to the vehicles subject to our January 2017 DIRs. On January 18, 2017, NHTSA consolidated our first and second petitions for inconsequentiality and will rule on both at the same time.

We believe these vehicles are currently performing as designed and ongoing testing continues to support the belief that the vehicles' unique design and integration mitigates against inflator propellant degradation. We presently believe that the results of further testing and analysis will continue to demonstrate that the vehicles do not present an unreasonable risk to safety and that no repair will ultimately be required.

Based, in part, on the results of our testing, analysis and data to date, on September 2, 2016, we filed a petition with NHTSA to delay inclusion of GMT900 vehicles in the Takata DIR equipment schedule from December 31, 2016 until December 31, 2017. We believe that this timeline will permit us to complete our testing of the relevant non-desiccated Takata inflators in GMT900 vehicles.

Accordingly, no warranty provision has been made for any repair associated with our vehicles subject to the Preliminary DIRDIRs and amended consent order. However, in the event we are ultimately obligated to repair the inflators in these vehicles, we estimate a reasonably possible cost of up to $320 million for the 2.5 million vehicles subject to the Preliminary DIR and an additional $550 million for up to 4.3 million vehicles subject tocurrent or future Takata DIRs under the amended consent order.order in the U.S., we estimate a reasonably possible impact to GM of up to $900 million.

OnThrough July 28, 2016, a17, 2017 we were aware of one putative class action was filedpending against GM in federal court in the United States District Court for the DistrictU.S., one putative class action in Mexico and four putative class actions pending in various Provincial Courts in Canada arising out of New Jersey claimingallegations that numerous 2003 - 2011 model year GM vehiclesairbag inflators manufactured by Takata are defective because they are equipped with Takata airbags and alleging, among other things, fraud and breach of warranty. The complaint seeks nationwide class certification or, alternatively, certification of various state classes, damages, costs and fees.defective. At this early stage of thethese proceedings, we are unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or an estimate of the amounts or range of possible loss. In addition, the New Mexico Attorney General initiated litigation against Takata and numerous automotive manufacturers, including GM. However, on June 13, 2017 the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal without prejudice as to all claims against GM brought by the New Mexico Attorney General.

Product Liability With respect to product liability claims (other than claims relating to the ignition switch recalls discussed previously)above) involving ourGM and General Motors Corporation 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. In addition we indemnify dealers for certain product liability related claims, including claims related to products sold by General Motors Corporation's dealers. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 liabilities of $683$627 million and $712$656 million were recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities 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. In light of vehicle recalls in recent years it is reasonably possible that our accruals for product liability claims may increase in future periods in material amounts, although we cannot estimate a reasonable range of incremental loss based on currently available information.

Ignition Switch Recall Compensation Program In the three months ended June 30, 2014 we created a compensation program (the Program) for accident victims who died or suffered physical injury (or for their families) as a result of a faulty ignition switch related to the 2.6 million vehicles recalled in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Program is being administered by an independent administrator and accepted claims for review from August 1, 2014 through January 31, 2015. The Program completed its claims review process in the three months ended September 30, 2015, but continues to process acceptances that require court approval and resolve liens related to accepted claims. Accident victims (or their families) that accept a payment under the Program agree to settle all claims against GM related to the accident. The following table summarizes the activity for the Program:

Guarantees We enter into indemnification agreements for liability claims involving products manufactured primarily by certain joint ventures. We also provide vehicle repurchase guarantees and payment guarantees on commercial loans outstanding with third parties such as dealers. These guarantees terminate in years ranging from 20162017 to 2030,2032 or upon the occurrence of specific events or are ongoing. We believe that the related potential costs incurred are adequately covered and our recorded accruals are insignificant.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —— (Continued)

The maximum liability, calculated as future undiscounted payments, was $4.4$4.9 billion and $2.6$4.4 billion for these guarantees at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the majority of which relate to the indemnification agreements.

In some instances certain assets of the party whose debt or performance we have guaranteed may offset, to some degree, the amount of certain guarantees. Our payables to the party whose debt or performance we have guaranteed may also reduce the amount of certain guarantees. 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.

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. Insignificant 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.

For interim income tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary income (loss). Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a tax benefit cannot be realized are excluded. 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. We have open tax years from 20062007 to 20152016 with various significant tax jurisdictions.

(a)Included temporary layoff benefits of $351 million at September 30, 2015 in GMNA.
In the three months ended June 30, 2017 we announced several restructuring actions in GMIO, primarily related to the withdrawal of Chevrolet in the Indian and South African markets by the end of 2017 and the transition of our South Africa manufacturing operations to Isuzu Motors. We intend to continue manufacturing vehicles in India for sale to certain export markets. In the three months ended June 30, 2017 we recorded charges of $460 million in GMIO primarily consisting of $297 million of asset impairments, sales incentives, inventory provisions and other charges, not reflected in the table above, and $163 million of dealer restructurings, employee separations and other contract cancellation costs, which are reflected in the table above and insignificant costs for separation and other programs in GMNA and GMSA. We expect to complete these programs in 2017.

Other GMIO restructuring programs include separation and other programs in Australia, Korea and India and the withdrawal of the Chevrolet brand from Europe. Collectively these programs had a total cost since inception in 2013 of $866 million and affected a total of approximately 4,690 employees through June 30, 2017. We expect to complete these programs in 2017 and incur insignificant additional restructuring and other charges.

We expect to complete these programs in GMIO in 2017 and incur additional related restructuring and other charges of approximately $70 million.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 restructuring and other initiatives related primarily to: (1) our exit of Russia for which we recorded total pre-tax charges of $450 million in GME and GMIO in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, of which $112 million is reflected in the table above; and (2) separation and other programs in Australia, Korea, Thailand and Indonesia and the withdrawal of the Chevrolet brand from Europe. Restructuring costs incurred were insignificant and $149 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. Collectively, these programs had a total cost since inception of $663 million in GMIO through September 30, 2015.

Note 14.16. Stockholders' Equity
We haveAt June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 we had 2.0 billion shares of preferred stock and 5.0 billion shares of common stock authorized for issuance. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 we had 1.5 billion shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 20152016 we purchased 4844 million and 8510 million shares of our outstanding common stock for $1.5 billion and $2.9 billion$300 million as part of the common stock repurchase program announced in March 2015, which our Board of Directors increased and extended in January 2016.2016 and January 2017. Our total dividends paid on common stock were $585$564 million and $563$591 million in the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and 2016 and 2015 and $1.8$1.1 billion and $1.6$1.2 billion in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015, respectively.

In July 2009 we issued two tranches of warrants, each to acquire 136 million shares of our common stock, to Motors Liquidation Company (MLC) which have all been distributed to creditors of General Motors Corporation (Old GM) and to the Motors Liquidation Company General Unsecured Creditors (GUC) Trust by MLC. The first tranche of MLC warrants had an exercise price of $10.00 per share and all unexercised warrants expired July 10, 2016. The second tranche of MLC warrants is exercisable at any time prior to July 10, 2019 at an exercise price of $18.33 per share.

Note 16.17. Earnings Per ShareSegment Reporting

We analyze the results of our business through the following segments: GMNA, GME, GMIO, GMSA and GM Financial. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our automotive segments through earnings before interest and income taxes-adjusted, which is presented net of noncontrolling interests. The chief operating decision maker evaluates GM Financial through earnings before income taxes-adjusted because interest income and interest expense are part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the segment. 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. While not all vehicles within a segment are individually profitable on a fully allocated cost basis, those vehicles attract customers to dealer showrooms and help maintain sales volumes for other, more profitable vehicles and contribute towards meeting required fuel efficiency standards. As a result of these and other factors, we do not manage our business on an individual brand or vehicle basis.

Substantially all of the cars, trucks, crossovers and automobile 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, trucks and crossovers are also sold to fleet customers, including daily rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and governments. Fleet sales are completed through the dealer network and in some cases directly with fleet customers. Retail and fleet customers can obtain a wide range of after-sale 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 Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC brands. The demands of customers outside North America are primarily met with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Holden, Opel and Vauxhall brands. We also have equity ownership stakes directly or indirectly in entities through various regional subsidiaries, primarily in Asia. These companies design, manufacture and/or market vehicles under the Baojun, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Jiefang and Wuling brands.

Our automotive operations' interest income and interest expense are recorded centrally in Corporate. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and intercompany balances. All intersegment balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The following tables summarize key financial information by segment:

Note 18.Acquisition of Business

On May 12, 2016 we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Cruise Automation Inc., an autonomous vehicle technology company, to further accelerate our development of autonomous vehicles. The deal consideration at closing was $581 million, of which $291 million was paid in cash and approximately $290 million was paid through the issuance of new common stock. The fair value of the common stock issued was determined based on the closing price of our common stock on May 12, 2016. In conjunction with the acquisition, we entered into other agreements that will result in future costs contingent upon the continued employment of key individuals and additional performance-based awards contingent upon the achievement of specific technology and commercialization milestones.

adjustedWe analyze the results of our business through the following segments: GMNA, GMIO, GMSA and GM Financial. As discussed in Note 2, the European Business is presented as discontinued operations and is excluded from our segment results for all periods presented. The European Business was previously reported as our GM Europe (GME) segment and part of GM Financial. The chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our automotive free cash flow.segments through earnings before interest and income taxes-adjusted, which is presented net of noncontrolling interests. The chief operating decision maker evaluates GM Financial through earnings before income taxes-adjusted because interest income and interest expense are part of operating results when assessing and measuring the operational and financial performance of the segment. Each segment has a manager responsible for executing our strategic initiatives. Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures mayautomotive manufacturing operations are integrated within the segments, benefit from broad-based trade agreements and are subject to regulatory requirements. While not be comparableall vehicles within a segment are individually profitable on a fully allocated cost basis, those vehicles attract customers to similarly titled measures ofdealer showrooms and help maintain sales volumes for other, companies due to potential differences between companies in the method of calculation.more profitable vehicles and contribute towards meeting required fuel efficiency standards. As a result the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related U.S. GAAP measures.

These non-GAAP measures allow management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions to understand operating performance without regard to itemsother factors, we do not considermanage our business on an individual brand or vehicle basis.

Substantially all of the cars, trucks, crossovers and automobile 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, trucks and crossovers are also sold to fleet customers, including daily rental car companies, commercial fleet customers, leasing companies and governments. Fleet sales are completed through the dealer network and in some cases directly with fleet customers. Retail and fleet customers can obtain a componentwide range of our core operating performance. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures allow investorsafter-sale vehicle services and products through the opportunity to measuredealer network, such as maintenance, light repairs, collision repairs, vehicle accessories and monitor our performance against our externally communicated targetsextended service warranties.

GMNA primarily meets the demands of customers in North America with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and evaluateGMC brands. The demands of customers outside North America are primarily met with vehicles developed, manufactured and/or marketed under the investment decisions being made by management to improve ROIC-adjusted. Management uses these measuresBuick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Holden, and until the closing of the sale of the European Business, Opel and Vauxhall brands. We also have equity ownership stakes directly or indirectly in its financial, investmententities through various regional subsidiaries, primarily in Asia. These companies design, manufacture and/or market vehicles under the Baojun, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Jiefang and operational decision-making processes, for internal reportingWuling brands.

Our automotive operations' interest income and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes. Further, our Board of Directors uses theseinterest expense, Maven, corporate expenditures including autonomous vehicle-related engineering and other measurescosts and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses are recorded centrally in Corporate. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, our investment in Lyft, goodwill, intangibles, Maven vehicles, intercompany balances and the assets of the Opel/Vauxhall Business classified as key metrics to determine management performance under our performance-based compensation plans. For these reasons we believe these non-GAAP measures are usefulheld for our investors.

EBIT-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated operating results because it excludes automotive interest income, automotive interest expense and income taxes as well as certain additional adjustments that are not considered part of our core operations. Examples of adjustments to EBIT include but are not limited to impairment chargessale. Retained net underfunded pension liabilities related to goodwill, impairment charges on long-lived assetsthe European Business are also recorded in Corporate. All intersegment balances and other exit costs resulting from strategic shiftstransactions have been eliminated in our operations or discrete market and business conditions; costs arising from the ignition switch recall and related legal matters; and certain currency devaluations associated with hyperinflationary economies. For EBIT-adjusted and our other non-GAAP measures, once we have made an adjustment in the current period for an item, we will also adjust the related non-GAAP measure in any future periods in which there is an impact from the item. Refer to Note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for our reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable financial measure under U.S. GAAP, Net income attributable to common stockholders.consolidation.

EPS-diluted-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated diluted earnings per share results on a consistent basis. EPS-diluted-adjusted is calculated as net income attributable to common stockholders-diluted less certain adjustments noted above for EBIT-adjusted and gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt obligations on an after-tax basis as well as certain income tax adjustments divided by weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted. Examples of income tax adjustments include the establishment or reversal of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances.

ROIC-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our investment and capital allocation decisions. We define ROIC-adjusted as EBIT-adjusted for the trailing four quarters divided by average net assets, which is considered to be the average equity balances adjusted for average automotive debt and interest liabilities, exclusive of capital leases; average automotive net pension and OPEB liabilities; and average automotive net income tax assets during the same period.

Adjusted automotive free cash flow is used by management and can be used by investors to review the liquidity of our automotive operations and to measure and monitor our performance against our capital allocation framework and evaluate our automotive liquidity against the substantial cash requirements of our automotive operations. We measure adjusted automotive free cash flow as automotive cash flow from operations less capital expenditures adjusted for management actions, primarily related to strengthening our balance sheet, such as prepayments of debt and discretionary contributions to employee benefit plans. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of this MD&A for our reconciliation of Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities under U.S. GAAP to this non-GAAP measure.

(b)These adjustments were excluded because of the significant restructuring of our Thailand operations and the strategic actions taken to focus on the production of pick-up trucks and SUVs.
(c)This adjustment was excluded because of the devaluation of the Venezuela Bolivar Fuerte (BsF), our inability to transact at the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD) rate to obtain U.S. Dollars and the market restrictions imposed by the Venezuelan government.
(d)These adjustments were excluded because of our decision to exit the Russia market as a result of a strategic shift in our operations. The costs primarily consisted of sales incentives, dealer restructuring and other contract cancellation costs, and asset impairments.

Overview Our strategic plan includes several major initiatives that we anticipate will help us achieve our goal of 9% to 10% margins on an EBIT-adjusted basis (EBIT-adjusted margins, calculated as EBIT-adjusted divided by Net sales and revenue) by early next decade: earn customers for life by delivering great products to our customers, leading the industry in quality and safety and improving the customer ownership experience; lead in technology and innovation, including OnStar 4G LTE and connected car, alternative propulsion, urban mobility including ride- and car-sharing through Maven and our investment in Lyft, active safety features and autonomous vehicles; grow our brands, particularly the Cadillac brand in the U.S. and China and the Chevrolet brand globally; continue our growth in China; continue the growth of GM Financial into our full captive automotive financing company; and deliver core operating efficiencies.

For the year ending December 31, 2016 we expect to continue to generate strong consolidated financial results including improved EBIT-adjusted and EBIT-adjusted margins and EPS-diluted-adjusted of between $5.50 and $6.00. Based on our anticipated strong business results for the second half of the year, we expect full-year EPS-diluted-adjusted to be at the high end of the range. The following table reconciles expected diluted earnings per common share under U.S. GAAP to expected EPS-diluted-adjusted:
Year Ending December 31, 2016
Diluted earnings per common share$ 5.47-5.97

GMNA In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 industry sales to retail and fleet customers were 16.3 million units representing a 1.7% increase compared to the corresponding period in 2015 due to strong consumer demand driven by credit availability, low interest rates and low fuel prices.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 our vehicle sales in the U.S., our largest market in North America, totaled 2.2 million units for market share of 16.6%, representing a decrease of 0.6 percentage points compared to the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease in our U.S. market share was driven by lower fleet market share due to a planned reduction in rental deliveries, partially offset by higher retail market share. U.S. retail sales, generally more profitable than fleet sales, generated an increase of 0.5 percentage points in market share, primarily driven by Chevrolet.

In the year ending December 31, 2016 we expect an EBIT-adjusted margin of approximately 10% on continued strength of U.S. industry light vehicle sales, cost performance and new product launches. Based on our current cost structure, we continue to estimate GMNA’s breakeven point at the U.S. industry level to be in the range of 10.0 - 11.0 million units.

In September 2016 we entered into a collectively bargained labor agreement with Unifor for certain hourly employees in Canada. The agreement was ratified without disruption to our operations.

GME As a result of moderate economic growth across Europe (excluding Russia) automotive industry sales to retail and fleet customers continued improving in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 with industry sales to retail and fleet customers of 14.2 million units representing a 7.0% increase compared to the corresponding period in 2015.

Our European operations are benefiting from this trend and vehicle sales continue to show signs of improvement underscored by further improvement in our Opel and Vauxhall retail vehicle sales of 0.9 million units for market share of 5.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 consistent with the corresponding period in 2015. We continue to implement various strategic actions to strengthen our operations and increase our competitiveness.

We have made substantial progress towards our intention to break even by taking advantage of a recovering industry, cost optimization and the benefits of our Astra and Corsa launches, resulting in positive EBIT-adjusted in the first half of the year. However in June 2016 the U.K. completed its referendum on continued membership in the European Union voting to leave. Despite the referendum we were on track to break even for the year, as evidenced by our performance through the first nine months. The result of the referendum has adversely impacted the British Pound and the uncertainty has put strain on the U.K. automotive industry. If current post referendum market conditions are sustained throughout the remainder of 2016, we believe it could have an adverse impact of up to $0.4 billion to the second half of 2016 of which approximately $0.1 billion is reflected in our third quarter results.

The German Ministry of Transportation and the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt have requested the participation of a number of automotive manufacturers, including our German subsidiary, in continuing discussions on emissions control issues and have also requested, from time to time, written responses from our subsidiary on the subject. Our German subsidiary has participated in these discussions and has provided the requested responses to inquiries concerning nitrogen oxide emission control systems of its diesel engines. In light of the foregoing, there could be further inquiries about nitrogen oxide and/or CO2 emissions. These requests may lead to increased testing and re-testing of our vehicles and analysis of their emissions control systems, which could lead to increased costs, penalties, negative publicity or reputational impact, and additional vehicles may be subject to recall activity if regulators determine that emission levels and required regulatory compliance should be based on either a wider spectrum of driving conditions for future testing parameters or stricter or novel interpretations and consequent enforcement of existing requirements. No assurance can be given that the ultimate outcome of any potential investigations or increased testing resulting from this scrutiny would not materially and adversely affect us.

GMIO Since the second quarter of 2015 we have been experiencing pricing pressures in China, increasing competition and a complex regulatory environment. Despite these pressures, in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 China industry sales were 19.5 million units, representing an increase of 12.1% compared to the corresponding period in 2015. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 our China wholesale volumes increased by 4.4% compared to the corresponding period in 2015. Our market share decreased to 13.8%, down 1.0 percentage point as our volume growth was less than that of the industry. Strong growth in Cadillac, Buick and Baojun passenger vehicles, including SUVs, were partially offset by lower Chevrolet sales because of model changeover and lower Wuling sales because of a continued segment shift away from mini commercial vehicles. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 our Automotive China JVs generated equity income of $1.4 billion and margins of 9.3%. We expect industry growth and continuation of pricing pressures of approximately 5%, which will continue to pressure margins, in 2016. We continue to expect an increase in vehicle sales driven by new launches and expect to sustain strong China equity income and margins by focusing on vehicle mix improvements, cost improvements and efficiencies and downstream performance optimization.

Lack of political stability, low commodity prices and foreign exchange volatility, among other factors, negatively impacted the overall automotive industry in the rest of Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East and led to industry sales of 14.1 million units, representing a decrease of 2.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the corresponding period in 2015. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 our retail sales totaled 0.5 million units leading to a market share of 3.5%, representing a decrease of 0.6 percentage points compared to the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease in retail sales volumes was due primarily to overall industry volume declines, foreign currency availability and economic challenges in the Middle East, Egypt and South Africa.

To address the significant industry, market share, pricing and foreign exchange pressures in the region, we continue to focus on product portfolio enhancements, manufacturing footprint rationalization, increased local sourcing of parts, cost structure reductions, as well as brand and dealer network improvements which we expect to favorably impact the region over the medium term. As we continue to assess our performance throughout the region, additional restructuring and rationalization actions may be required and may have a material impact on our results of operations.

GMSAThe South American automotive industry continues to be challenged by weak economic conditions and lack of consumer confidence. Industry sales to retail and fleet customers were 2.7 million units in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 representing a 14.9% decrease compared to the corresponding period in 2015. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 our

vehicle sales in Brazil, our largest market in South America, totaled 0.2 million units for market share of 16.3%, representing an increase of 1.5 percentage points compared to the corresponding period in 2015 primarily driven by Chevrolet Onix sales.

We continue to monitor economic conditions in South America and believe that adverse economic conditions and their effects on the automotive industry will likely continue. While we continue to take actions to address these challenges, no assurance can be provided that such efforts will prevent material future losses, asset impairments or other charges.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 we continued to consolidate our Venezuelan subsidiaries. Our Venezuelan subsidiaries may require additional financial support, which, at this time, we have not made a decision to provide. If a determination is made in the future that we no longer maintain control we may incur a charge based on exchange rates at September 30, 2016 of less than $0.1 billion.

CorporateIn connection with our capital allocation framework, as detailed in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of MD&A in our 2015 Form 10-K, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a program to purchase up to $5 billion of our common stock before the end of 2016, which we completed one quarter ahead of schedule in the three months ended September 30, 2016. In January 2016 we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to an additional $4 billion of our common stock (an aggregate total of $9 billion) before the end of 2017. Through October 21, 2016 we had purchased an aggregate of 150 million shares of our outstanding common stock under our common stock repurchase program for $5.0 billion. Also, in January 2016 we announced an increase of our quarterly common stock dividend to $0.38 per share effective in the first quarter of 2016.

The Ignition Switch Recall has led to various inquiries, investigations, subpoenas, requests for information and complaints from Congress, the SEC, Transport Canada and 50 state attorneys general. In addition these and other recalls have resulted in a number of claims and lawsuits. Such lawsuits and investigations could in the future result in the imposition of material damages, fines, civil consent orders, civil and criminal penalties or other remedies. Refer to Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Takata Matters On May 4, 2016 NHTSA issued an amended consent order requiring Takata to file DIRs for previously unrecalled front airbag inflators that contain an ammonium nitrate-based propellant without a moisture absorbing desiccant on a multi-year, risk-based schedule through 2019 impacting tens of millions of vehicles produced by numerous automotive manufacturers. NHTSA concluded that the likely root cause of the rupturing of the airbag inflators is a function of time, temperature cycling and environmental moisture. On May 16, 2016 Takata issued its first DIR in connection with the amended consent order. Its next DIR is due to be filed on December 31, 2016.

Although we do not believe there is a safety defect at this time in any GM vehicles within the scope of the Takata DIR, in cooperation with NHTSA we filed a Preliminary DIR on May 27, 2016, updated as of June 13, 2016, covering 2.5 million of certain of our GMT900 vehicles, which are full-size pick-up trucks and SUVs. As a result of discussions with NHTSA and as described in the Preliminary DIR, GM believes it will have an opportunity to prove to NHTSA that the inflators in these vehicles do not and will not pose an unreasonable risk to safety. We believe these vehicles are currently performing as designed and ongoing testing continues to support the belief that the vehicles' unique design and integration mitigates against inflator degradation. For example, the airbag inflators used in the vehicles are a variant engineered specifically for our vehicles, and include features such as greater venting, unique propellant wafer configurations, and machined steel end caps. The inflators are packaged in the instrument panel in such a way as to minimize exposure to moisture from the climate control system. Also, these vehicles have features that minimize the maximum temperature to which the inflator will be exposed, such as larger interior volumes and standard solar absorbing windshields and side glass. Further, our field deployment data contains no reports of inflator rupture in these vehicles during the estimated 55,000 field deployments that have occurred in these vehicles since the start of production or in the ballistic testing of inflators recovered from vehicles in the field. We presently believe that the results of further testing and analysis will continue to demonstrate that the vehicles do not present an unreasonable risk to safety and that no repair will ultimately be required.

Based, in part, on the results of our testing, analysis and data to date, on September 2, 2016, we filed a petition with NHTSA to delay inclusion of GMT900 vehicles in the Takata DIR equipment schedule from December 31, 2016 until December 31, 2017. We believe that this timeline will permit us to complete our testing of the relevant non-desiccated Takata inflators in GMT900 vehicles.

Accordingly, no provision has been made for any repair associated with our vehicles subject to the Preliminary DIR and amended consent order. However, in the event we are ultimately obligated to repair the inflators in these vehicles, we estimate a reasonably

possible cost of up to $320 million for the 2.5 million vehicles subject to the Preliminary DIR and an additional $550 million for up to 4.3 million vehicles subject to future Takata DIRs under the amended consent order.

On July 28, 2016, a putative class action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey claiming that numerous 2003 - 2011 model year GM vehicles are defective because they are equipped with Takata airbags and alleging, among other things, fraud and breach of warranty. The complaint seeks nationwide class certification or, alternatively, certification of various state classes, damages, costs and fees. At this early stage of the proceedings, we are unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or an estimate of the amounts or range of possible loss.

Vehicle Sales We present both wholesale and retail vehicle sales data to assist in the analysis of our revenue and our market share. We do not currently export vehicles to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria. Accordingly these countries are excluded from industry sales data and corresponding calculations of our market share.

Wholesale vehicle sales data, which represents sales directly to dealers and others, is the measure that correlates to our revenue from the sale of vehicles, which is the largest component of Automotive net sales and revenue. Wholesale vehicle sales exclude
vehicles produced by joint ventures. In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 46.1% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume was generated outside the U.S. The following table summarizes total wholesale vehicle sales of new vehicles by automotive segment (vehicles in thousands):

Retail vehicle sales data, which represents sales to end customers based upon the good faith estimates of management, 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. Market share information is based primarily on retail vehicle sales volume. In countries where retail vehicle sales data is not readily available other data sources, such as wholesale or forecast volumes, are used to estimate retail vehicle sales to end customers.

Retail vehicle sales data includes all sales by joint ventures on a total vehicle basis, not based on the percentage of ownership in the joint venture. Certain joint venture agreements in China allow for the contractual right to report vehicle sales of non-GM trademarked vehicles by those joint ventures. Retail vehicle sales data includes vehicles used by dealers under courtesy transportation programs and vehicles sold through the dealer registration channel primarily in Europe. This sales channel consists primarily of dealer demonstrator, loaner and self-registered vehicles which are not eligible to be sold as new vehicles after being registered by dealers. Certain fleet sales that are accounted for as operating leases are included in retail vehicle sales at the time of delivery to daily rental car companies. The following table summarizes total industry retail sales, or estimated sales where retail sales volume is not available, of vehicles and our related competitive position by geographic region (vehicles in thousands):

In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 we estimate we had the largest market share in North America and South America, the number four market share in the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa region and the number eight market share in Europe.

The sales and market share data provided in the table above includes both fleet vehicle sales and sales to retail customers. Certain fleet transactions, particularly sales to daily rental car companies, are generally less profitable than sales to retail customers. A significant portion of the sales to daily rental car companies are recorded as operating leases under U.S. GAAP with no recognition of revenue at the date of initial delivery due to guaranteed repurchase obligations. The following table summarizes estimated fleet sales and those sales as a percentage of total retail vehicle sales (vehicles in thousands):

GM Financial Summary and Outlook GM Financial has expanded its leasing, near prime and prime lending programs in North America; therefore, leasing and prime lending have become an increasingly large percentage of the originations and retail portfolio balance.

Consolidated Results We review changes in our results of operations under five categories: volume, mix, price, cost and other. Volume measures the impact of changes in wholesale vehicle volumes driven by industry volume, market share and changes in dealer stock levels. Mix measures the impact of changes to the regional portfolio due to product, model, trim, country and option penetration in current year wholesale vehicle volumes. Price measures the impact of changes related to Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price and various sales allowances. Cost includes primarily: (1) material and freight; (2) manufacturing, engineering, advertising, administrative and selling and policy and warranty expense; and (3) non-vehicle related activity. Other includes primarily foreign exchange and non-vehicle related automotive revenues as well as equity income or loss from our nonconsolidated affiliates.

GM Financial Revenue In the three months ended September 30, 2016 Total revenue increased due primarily to increased leased vehicle income of $0.8 billion due to a larger lease portfolio.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 Total revenue increased due primarily to increased leased vehicle income of $2.3 billion due to a larger lease portfolio.

GM Financial Earnings Before Income Taxes-Adjusted In the three months ended September 30, 2016 Earnings before income taxes-adjusted remained flat due primarily to: (1) increased revenue of $0.8 billion; partially offset by (2) increased leased vehicle expense of $0.6 billion due to a larger lease portfolio; (3) increased interest expense of $0.1 billion due to an increase in average debt outstanding; and (4) increased operating expenses of $0.1 billion.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 Earnings before income taxes-adjusted increased due primarily to: (1) increased revenue of $2.3 billion; partially offset by (2) increased leased vehicle expense of $1.8 billion due to a larger lease portfolio; (3) net increase in interest expense of $0.3 billion due to an increase in average debt outstanding; and (4) increased operating expenses of $0.1 billion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources We believe that our current level of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and availability under our revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs. We expect to have substantial cash requirements going forward which we plan to fund through total available liquidity and cash flows generated from operations. We also maintain access to the capital markets and may issue debt or equity securities from time to time, which may provide an additional source of liquidity. Our future uses of cash, which may vary from time to time based on market conditions and other factors, are focused on three objectives: (1) reinvest in our business; (2) maintain an investment-grade balance sheet; and (3) return cash to stockholders. Our known future material uses of cash include, among other possible demands: (1) capital expenditures of approximately $9 billion annually as well as payments for engineering and product development activities; (2) payments associated with previously announced vehicle recalls, the settlements of the multidistrict litigation and any other recall-related contingencies; (3) payments to service debt and other long-term obligations, including discretionary and mandatory contributions to our pension plans; (4) payments for previously announced restructuring activities; (5) dividend payments on our common stock that are declared by our Board of Directors; and (6) payments to purchase shares of our common stock under programs authorized by our Board of Directors.

Our liquidity plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the "Forward-Looking Statements" section of this MD&A and the “Risk Factors” section of our 2015 Form 10-K, some of which are outside of our control.

We continue to monitor and evaluate opportunities to strengthen our competitive position over the long term while maintaining an investment-grade balance sheet. These actions may include opportunistic payments to reduce our long-term obligations as well as the possibility of acquisitions, dispositions, investments with joint venture partners and strategic alliances that we believe would generate significant advantages and substantially strengthen our business. These actions may negatively impact our liquidity in the short term.

Management's capital allocation framework includes a combined cash and marketable securities balance target of $20 billion and plans to reinvest in the business at an average target ROIC-adjusted rate of 20% or greater. In connection with this framework we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized a program to purchase up to $5 billion of our common stock before the

end of 2016, which we completed one quarter ahead of schedule in the three months ended September 30, 2016. In January 2016 we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to an additional $4 billion of our common stock (an aggregate total of $9 billion) before the end of 2017. Also, in January 2016 we announced an increase of our quarterly common stock dividend to $0.38 per share effective in the three months ended March 31, 2016. Through October 21, 2016 we had purchased an aggregate of 150 million shares of our outstanding common stock under our common stock repurchase program for $5.0 billion.

In February 2016 we issued $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of automotive senior unsecured notes and used the entire net proceeds to fund discretionary contributions to our U.S. hourly pension plan in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to improve its funded status. Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the senior unsecured notes.

In May 2016 we amended our two primary revolving credit facilities, increasing our aggregate borrowing capacity from $12.5 billion to $14.5 billion. These facilities consist of a three-year, $4.0 billion facility and a five-year, $10.5 billion facility. Both facilities are available to us as well as certain wholly-owned subsidiaries, including GM Financial. The three-year, $4.0 billion facility allows for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and other currencies and includes a GM Financial borrowing sub-limit of $1.0 billion and a letter of credit sub-facility of $1.0 billion. The five-year, $10.5 billion facility allows for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and other currencies and includes a GM Financial borrowing sub-limit of $3.0 billion and a letter of credit sub-limit of $500 million.

Automotive Liquidity Total available liquidity includes cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and funds available under credit facilities. 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. There have been no significant changes in the management of our liquidity, including the allocation of our available liquidity, the composition of our portfolio and our investment guidelines since December 31, 2015. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of MD&A in our 2015 Form 10-K.

We use credit facilities as a mechanism to provide additional flexibility in managing our global liquidity. The total size of our credit facilities was $14.6 billion at September 30, 2016 and $12.6 billion at December 31, 2015, which consisted principally of our two primary revolving credit facilities. We did not have any borrowings against our primary facilities, but had letters of credit outstanding under our sub-facility of $0.6 billion at September 30, 2016. GM Financial had access to our revolving credit facilities at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 but did not borrow against them. We had intercompany loans from GM Financial of $0.8 billion and $0.4 billion at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, which consisted primarily of amounts used to fund company vehicles and for commercial loans to dealers we consolidate. At September 30, 2016 GM Financial had borrowed $0.4 billion from us in connection with the funding commitments under the support agreement entered into in September 2014, which is expected to be repaid during the fourth quarter of 2016.

Status of Credit Ratings We receive ratings from four independent credit rating agencies: DBRS Limited, Fitch, Moody's and S&P. In February 2016 Moody's revised their outlook to Positive from Stable. In March 2016 DBRS Limited upgraded our corporate rating and revolving credit facilities rating to BBB from BBB (low) and revised their outlook to Stable from Positive. In April 2016 S&P revised their outlook to Positive from Stable. In June 2016 Fitch revised their outlook to Positive from Stable. Ratings on the amended and restated revolving credit facilities are unchanged.

Automotive Financing – GM Financial Liquidity GM Financial's primary sources of cash are finance charge income, leasing income and proceeds from the sale of terminated leased vehicles, servicing fees, net distributions from secured debt facilities, including securitizations, secured and unsecured borrowings and collections and recoveries on finance receivables. GM Financial's primary uses of cash are purchases of retail finance receivables and leased vehicles, the funding of commercial finance receivables, repayment of secured and unsecured debt, funding credit enhancement requirements in connection with securitizations and secured debt facilities, operating expenses and interest costs. GM Financial continues to monitor and evaluate opportunities to optimize its liquidity position and the mix of its debt. The following table summarizes GM Financial's available liquidity (dollars in billions):

In the nine months ended September 30, 2016 available liquidity increased due primarily to: (1) additional capacity on new and renewed secured credit facilities; and (2) increased borrowing capacity resulting from the issuance of unsecured debt and increased retail deposits.

As previously mentioned GM Financial has the ability to borrow up to $1.0 billion against our three-year, $4.0 billion revolving credit facility and up to $3.0 billion against our five-year, $10.5 billion revolving credit facility.

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 the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in developing 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 2015 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,” “appears,” “approximately,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “designed,” “effect,” “estimate,” “evaluate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “initiative,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “priorities,” “project,” “pursue,” “seek,” “will,” “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: (1) our ability to maintain profitability over the long-term, including our ability to fund and introduce new and improved vehicle models that are able to attract a sufficient number of consumers; (2) the success of our full-size pick-up trucks and SUVs; (3) global automobile market sales volume, which can be volatile; (4) the results of our joint ventures, which we cannot operate solely for our benefit and over which we may have limited control; (5) our ability to realize production efficiencies and to achieve reductions in costs as we implement operating effectiveness initiatives throughout our automotive operations; (6) our ability to maintain quality control over our vehicles and avoid material vehicle recalls and the cost and effect on our reputation and products; (7) our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources including as required to fund our new technology; (8) our ability to realize successful vehicle applications of new technology and our ability to deliver new products, services and customer experiences in response to new participants in the automotive industry; (9) volatility in the price of oil; (10) the ability of our suppliers to deliver parts, systems and components without disruption and at such times to allow us to meet production schedules; (11) risks associated with our manufacturing facilities around the world; (12) our ability to manage the distribution channels for our products; (13) our ability to successfully restructure our operations in various countries; (14) the continued availability of wholesale and retail financing in markets in which we operate to support the sale of our vehicles, which is dependent on those entities' ability to obtain funding and their continued willingness to provide financing; (15) changes in economic conditions, commodity prices, housing prices, foreign currency exchange rates or political stability in the markets in which we operate; (16) significant changes in the competitive environment, including the effect of competition and excess manufacturing capacity in our markets, on our pricing policies or use of incentives and the introduction of new and improved

We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or other factors that affect the subject of these statements, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.

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

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 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2016 Form 10-K.

The assets and liabilities of the European Business are reported as held for sale and the results of operations and cash flows of the European Business are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In previous periods, these operations were

Table of Contents
GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


primarily reported in our GME segment, which is no longer a reportable segment, and GM Financial. Refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the disposition of the European Business.

Forward-looking statements in this MD&A are not guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" section of this MD&A and the "Risk Factors" section of our 2016 Form 10-K for a discussion of these risks and uncertainties. Except for per share amounts or as otherwise specified, dollar amounts presented within tables are stated in millions.

Non-GAAP Measures Unless otherwise indicated, our non-GAAP measures are related to our continuing operations and not our discontinued operations nor assets and liabilities held for sale. Our non-GAAP measures include earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)-adjusted, presented net of noncontrolling interests, earnings per share (EPS)-diluted-adjusted, return on invested capital-adjusted (ROIC-adjusted) and adjusted automotive free cash flow. Our calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be 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 measures has limitations and should not be considered superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, related U.S. GAAP measures.

These non-GAAP measures allow management and investors to view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons and benchmark performance between periods and among geographic regions to understand operating performance without regard to items we do not consider a component of our core operating performance. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures allow investors the opportunity to measure and monitor our performance against our externally communicated targets and evaluate the investment decisions being made by management to improve ROIC-adjusted. Management uses these measures in its financial, investment and operational decision-making processes, for internal reporting and as part of its forecasting and budgeting processes. Further, our Board of Directors uses these and other measures as key metrics to determine management performance under our performance-based compensation plans. For these reasons we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful for our investors.

EBIT-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated operating results because it excludes automotive interest income, automotive interest expense and income taxes as well as certain additional adjustments that are not considered part of our core operations. Examples of adjustments to EBIT include but are not limited to impairment charges related to goodwill; impairment charges on long-lived assets and other exit costs resulting from strategic shifts in our operations or discrete market and business conditions; costs arising from the ignition switch recall and related legal matters; and certain currency devaluations associated with hyperinflationary economies. For EBIT-adjusted and our other non-GAAP measures, once we have made an adjustment in the current period for an item, we will also adjust the related non-GAAP measure in any future periods in which there is an impact from the item.

EPS-diluted-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated diluted earnings per share results on a consistent basis. EPS-diluted-adjusted is calculated as net income attributable to common stockholders-diluted less income (loss) from discontinued operations on an after-tax basis, adjustments noted above for EBIT-adjusted, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt obligations on an after-tax basis and certain income tax adjustments divided by weighted-average common shares outstanding-diluted. Examples of income tax adjustments include the establishment or reversal of significant deferred tax asset valuation allowances.
ROIC-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our investment and capital allocation decisions. We define ROIC-adjusted as EBIT-adjusted for the trailing four quarters divided by ROIC-adjusted average net assets, which is considered to be the average equity balances adjusted for average automotive debt and interest liabilities, exclusive of capital leases; average automotive net pension and OPEB liabilities; and average automotive net income tax assets during the same period. Adjustments to the average equity balances exclude assets and liabilities classified as either assets held for sale or liabilities held for sale.

Adjusted automotive free cash flow is used by management and can be used by investors to review the liquidity of our automotive operations and to measure and monitor our performance against our capital allocation program and evaluate our automotive liquidity against the substantial cash requirements of our automotive operations. We measure adjusted automotive free cash flow as automotive operating cash flow from continuing operations less capital expenditures adjusted for management actions, primarily related to strengthening our balance sheet, such as prepayments of debt and discretionary contributions to employee benefit plans. Refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this MD&A for our reconciliation of Net automotive cash provided by operating activities under U.S. GAAP to this non-GAAP measure.

_________
(a)This adjustment was excluded because of a strategic decision to rationalize our core operations by exiting or significantly reducing our presence in various international markets to focus resources on opportunities expected to deliver higher returns. The adjustment primarily consists of asset impairments, sales incentives, inventory provisions, dealer restructuring, employee separations and other contract cancellation costs in India and South Africa.
(b)
This adjustment was excluded because we ceased operations and terminated employment relationships in Venezuela due to causes beyond our control, which included adverse political and economic conditions, including the seizure of our manufacturing facility.
(c)
These adjustments were excluded because of the unique events associated with the ignition switch recall. These events included the creation of the ignition switch recall compensation program, as well as various investigations, inquiries, and complaints from various constituents.

(a)Refer to the reconciliation of Net income attributable to common stockholders under U.S GAAP to EBIT-adjusted within this section of MD&A.

Overview Our strategic plan includes several major initiatives that we anticipate will help us achieve our goal of 9% to 10% margins on an EBIT-adjusted basis (EBIT-adjusted margins, calculated as EBIT-adjusted divided by Net sales and revenue) by early next decade: earn customers for life by delivering great products to our customers; lead the industry in quality and safety and improving the customer ownership experience; lead in technology and innovation, including OnStar 4G LTE and connected car, alternative propulsion, urban mobility including ride- and car-sharing through Maven and our investment in Lyft, active safety features and autonomous vehicles; grow our brands, particularly the Cadillac brand in the U.S. and China and the Chevrolet brand globally; continue our growth in China; continue the growth of GM Financial into our full captive automotive financing company; and deliver core operating efficiencies.

In addition to our EBIT-adjusted margin improvement goal, our overall financial targets include expected total annual operational and functional cost savings of $6.5 billion in aggregate through 2018 compared to 2014 costs, of which approximately $5.0 billion has been realized as of June 30, 2017, and which we expect will more than offset our incremental investments in brand building, engineering and technology as we launch new products in 2017 and beyond; and execution of our capital allocation program as described in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this MD&A.

For the year ending December 31, 2017 we expect to continue to generate strong consolidated financial results including total net sales and revenue, EBIT-adjusted and EBIT-adjusted margins that equal or exceed the corresponding amounts in 2016, ROIC-adjusted of greater than 25%, Automotive operating cash flow from continuing operations of approximately $15 billion, adjusted automotive free cash flow from continuing operations of approximately $7 billion, EPS-diluted of between $1.60 and $2.43 and EPS-diluted-adjusted of between $6.00 and $6.50. We expect these financial results to be driven in part by favorable shifts in mix for our new or refreshed product launches, including crossovers. The following table reconciles expected diluted earnings per common share under U.S. GAAP to expected EPS-diluted-adjusted:

We face continuing challenges from a market, operating and regulatory standpoint in a number of countries across the globe due to, among other factors, weak economic conditions, competitive pressures, our product portfolio offerings, emissions standards, foreign exchange volatility and political uncertainty. As a result of these conditions, we continue to strategically assess our performance and ability to achieve acceptable returns on our invested capital. As we continue to assess our performance, additional restructuring and rationalization actions may be required or a determination may be made that the carrying amount of our long-lived assets may not be recoverable in certain of these countries. Such a determination may give rise to future asset impairments or other charges which may have a material impact on our results of operations.

GMNA In the six months ended June 30, 2017 industry sales in North America to retail and fleet customers were 10.6 million units representing a decrease of 1.3% compared to the corresponding period in 2016. U.S. industry sales were 8.6 million units in the six months ended June 30, 2017 and we expect industry unit sales to be in the low 17 millions for the full year. Consistent with 2016, U.S. industry sales in the second half of the year are projected to be stronger than in the first half of the year.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017 our vehicle sales in the U.S., our largest market in North America, totaled 1.4 million units for market share of 16.4%, representing an increase of 0.1 percentage points compared to the corresponding period in 2016. We continue to lead the U.S. industry in market share. The increase in our U.S. market share was driven by strong performance in commercial and government fleet sales, partially offset by a reduction in daily rental sales. Our U.S. retail market share, which excludes fleet sales, was flat compared to the corresponding period in 2016.

In the year ending December 31, 2017 we expect to sustain an EBIT-adjusted margin of greater than 10% on continued strength of U.S. industry light vehicle sales, key product launches and continued focus on overall cost savings. Based on our current cost structure, we continue to estimate GMNA’s breakeven point at the U.S. industry level to be in the range of 10.0 - 11.0 million units.

GMIO In the six months ended June 30, 2017 China industry sales to retail and fleet customers were 12.3 million units and our market share was 14.4%. We continue to see strength in sales of our Cadillac and Baojun passenger vehicles and SUVs. However, residual effects from the government's partial removal of a purchase tax incentive at the end of 2016, and the rapid growth of SUVs over sedans in the market impacted Buick and Chevrolet performance, while Wuling sales were impacted by the continuing market shift away from mini commercial vehicles. In the six months ended June 30, 2017 our Automotive China JVs generated equity income of $1.0 billion. We expect industry growth in 2017 and continuation of pricing pressures which will continue to pressure margins. We continue to expect an increase in vehicle sales in 2017 driven by new launches and expect to sustain strong China

equity income and margins by focusing on vehicle mix improvements, cost improvements and efficiencies, and downstream performance optimization.

Many markets in the rest of Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East continue to experience negative impacts from economic conditions such as foreign exchange volatility and low oil prices, however, strength in certain markets led to industry sales to retail and fleet customers of 10.5 million units, representing an increase of 2.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the corresponding period in 2016. Our vehicle sales totaled 0.3 million units leading to a market share of 3.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of 0.5 percentage points compared to the corresponding period in 2016.

In May 2017 we announced several restructuring actions in GMIO which were primarily related to the withdrawal of Chevrolet from the Indian and South African markets by the end of 2017 and the transition of our South African manufacturing operations to Isuzu Motors. These actions occurred as a result of a strategic decision to focus resources on opportunities expected to deliver higher returns. Refer to Note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to these restructuring actions. We expect the operating environment to remain challenging. As we strategically assess our performance and the manner in which we operate in certain countries, additional restructuring and rationalization actions may be required and may have a material impact on our results of operations.

GMSAThe South American automotive industry continues to be challenged by weak economic conditions and lack of consumer confidence. Despite these challenges, industry sales to retail and fleet customers were 1.9 million units in the six months ended June 30, 2017 representing an 11.5% increase compared to the corresponding period in 2016. In the six months ended June 30, 2017 our vehicle sales in Brazil, our largest market in South America, totaled 0.2 million units for market share of 17.2%, representing an increase of 1.2 percentage points compared to the corresponding period in 2016 as we continue to benefit from a refreshed portfolio.

For the remainder of 2017, we expect our results to improve driven by a modest industry recovery and the strength of our portfolio and brand. We will continue to monitor conditions in South America and take actions to address challenges in the region.

Venezuelan Operations  In May 2017 we deconsolidated our business in Venezuela. The deconsolidation follows the unexpected seizure of our plant on April 18, 2017 by public authorities which forced us to cease operations and terminate employment relationships due to causes beyond our control, which included adverse political and economic conditions. The deconsolidation resulted in a charge of $0.1 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2017.

CorporateIn connection with our capital allocation program, as detailed in the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of this MD&A, we announced in January 2016 that our Board of Directors had authorized a program to purchase up to $4 billion of our common stock before the end of 2017, of which we have purchased $2.5 billion through June 30, 2017. We also announced in January 2017 that our Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to an additional $5 billion of our common stock with no expiration date subsequent to completing the remaining portion of the previously announced program. From inception of the program in 2015 through July 17, 2017, we purchased an aggregate of 233 million shares of our outstanding common stock under our common stock repurchase program for $7.9 billion.

The ignition switch recall has led to various inquiries, investigations, subpoenas, requests for information and complaints from agencies or other representatives of U.S., federal, state and Canadian governments. In addition these and other recalls have resulted in a number of claims and lawsuits. Such lawsuits and investigations could in the future result in the imposition of material damages, fines, civil consent orders, civil and criminal penalties or other remedies. Refer to Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Takata MattersOn May 4, 2016 NHTSA issued an amended consent order requiring Takata to file DIRs for previously unrecalled front airbag inflators that contain phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate-based propellant without a moisture absorbing desiccant on a multi-year, risk-based schedule through 2019 impacting tens of millions of vehicles produced by numerous automotive manufacturers. NHTSA concluded that the likely root cause of the rupturing of the airbag inflators is a function of time, temperature cycling and environmental moisture. On May 16, 2016 Takata issued its first DIR in connection with the amended consent order, and on January 3, 2017, Takata issued its second set of DIRs.

Although we do not believe there is a safety defect at this time in any GM vehicles within the scope of the Takata DIRs, in cooperation with NHTSA we filed Preliminary DIRs on May 27, 2016, updated as of June 13, 2016, covering 2.5 million of certain of our GMT900 vehicles, which are full-size pick-up trucks and SUVs. On November 15, 2016, we filed a petition for

Table of Contents
GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES


inconsequentiality and request for deferral of determination regarding those GMT900 vehicles. On November 28, 2016, NHTSA granted GM’s deferral request in connection with this petition. The deferral provides GM until August 31, 2017 to present evidence and analysis that our vehicles do not pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety. We believe that this timeline will permit us to complete our testing of the relevant non-desiccated Takata inflators in GMT900 vehicles and to prove to NHTSA that the inflators in these vehicles do not present an unreasonable risk to safety and that no repair will ultimately be required.

Takata filed a second set of equipment DIRs on January 3, 2017 and we filed a second set of Preliminary DIRs for certain GMT900 vehicles on January 10, 2017. These January 2017 DIRs are consistent with GM’s May 2016 DIRs. On the same day, we also filed a second petition for inconsequentiality and deferral of decision with respect to the vehicles subject to our January 2017 DIRs. On January 18, 2017, NHTSA consolidated our first and second petitions for inconsequentiality and will rule on both at the same time.

We believe these vehicles are currently performing as designed and ongoing testing continues to support the belief that the vehicles' unique design and integration mitigates against inflator propellant degradation. For example, the airbag inflators used in the vehicles are a variant engineered specifically for our vehicles, and include features such as greater venting, unique propellant wafer configurations, and machined steel end caps. The inflators are packaged in the instrument panel in such a way as to minimize exposure to moisture from the climate control system. Also, these vehicles have features that minimize the maximum temperature to which the inflator will be exposed, such as larger interior volumes and standard solar absorbing windshields and side glass. We believe that the results of further testing and analysis will demonstrate that the vehicles do not present an unreasonable risk to safety and that no repair will ultimately be required. Accordingly, no warranty provision has been made for any repair associated with our vehicles subject to the Preliminary DIRs and amended consent order. However, in the event we are ultimately obligated to repair the vehicles subject to current or future Takata DIRs under the amended consent order in the U.S., we estimate a reasonably possible impact to GM of up to $0.9 billion.

GM continues to engage in discussions with regulators outside the U.S. with respect to Takata inflators. There are differences in vehicle and inflator design between the relevant vehicles sold internationally and those sold in the U.S. As a result of these discussions, we may be required to recall certain vehicles outside of the U.S. Additional recalls, if any, could be material to our results of operations and cash flows. We continue to monitor the international situation.

Through July 17, 2017 we were aware of one putative class action pending against GM in federal court in the U.S., one putative class action in Mexico and four putative class actions pending in various Provincial Courts in Canada arising out of allegations that airbag inflators manufactured by Takata are defective. In addition, the New Mexico Attorney General has initiated litigation against Takata and numerous automotive manufacturers, including GM. At this early stage of these proceedings, we are unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or an estimate of the amounts or range of possible loss.

On June 26, 2017, Takata filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States and Japan. Over the past several months, a group of global automakers, including GM, have had discussions with Takata and Key Safety Systems, Inc. regarding a potential transaction involving the sale of Takata's business. GM has not experienced any supply interruptions arising from Takata initiating formal insolvency proceedings and anticipates that Takata will continue an uninterrupted supply of component parts to GM during the insolvency proceedings. GM continues to monitor Takata’s financial and operational performance and to develop alternative and contingent supplies to attempt to mitigate prospective threats to the supply of components.

PSA Group Transaction On March 5, 2017 we entered into the Agreement to sell our European Business, consisting of the Opel/Vauxhall Business and the Fincos, to PSA Group for net consideration with an estimated value of approximately $2.2 billion based upon exchange rates as of June 30, 2017, subject to foreign currency fluctuations. The net consideration to be paid for the Opel/Vauxhall Business under the Agreement has an estimated value of approximately $1.2 billion, consisting of (1) approximately $1.0 billion in cash; and (2) $0.7 billion in warrants in PSA Group; partially offset by (3) the approximate $0.5 billion de-risking premium payment to be made to PSA Group for assuming certain underfunded pension liabilities. The warrants are not exercisable for five years and do not include any governance or voting rights with respect to PSA Group. In addition, we have agreed to sell the shares of PSA Group received upon exercise of the warrants within 35 days after exercise. The net consideration to be paid for the Fincos will be 0.8 times their book value at closing, which we estimate will be approximately $1 billion. The purchase price is subject to certain working capital adjustments as provided in the Agreement.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 the assets and liabilities of the European Business have been presented as being held for sale and its operations and cash flows have been presented as discontinued operations based on the progress towards satisfying the various closing conditions necessary to complete the transaction, that include receipt of necessary antitrust, financial

and other regulatory approvals, the reorganization of the European Business, including pension plans in the United Kingdom, the completion of the contribution or sale by Adam Opel AG of its assets and liabilities to a subsidiary, the transfer of GMAC UK plc’s interest in SAIC-GMAC Automotive Finance Company Limited to GM Financial or an alternate entity we designate, unless either party elects to close without completion of this transfer, and the continued accuracy, subject to certain exceptions, at closing of our representations and warranties. The transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business is expected to close in the second half of 2017, subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions, and the transfer of the Fincos is expected to close as soon as practicable after the receipt of the necessary antitrust, financial and other regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other closing conditions, which may be after the transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business. The transfer of the Fincos will not occur unless the transfer of the Opel/Vauxhall Business occurs. Refer to Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information related to the assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations of the European Business.

The Company expects to recognize a charge resulting from the sale of the European Business of approximately $5.5 to $6.0 billion of which approximately $3.5 to $4.0 billion will be recorded in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, and $2.0 billion will be treated as an adjustment to EPS-diluted-adjusted. The expected charge principally relates to: (1) approximately $3.9 billion of deferred tax assets that will no longer be realizable or that will transfer to PSA Group upon sale; (2) approximately $1.6 billion related to previously deferred pension losses and payment of a de-risking premium to PSA Group for its assumption of certain underfunded pension liabilities; (3) a disposal loss on the Fincos of up to $0.7 billion; and (4) other net charges primarily related to contract cancellations, working capital adjustments and certain transitional services and other costs to support the separation of operations to be provided for a period of time following closing. Proceeds will partially offset certain of these charges. Of these amounts, in the three months ended June 30, 2017 we recognized a disposal loss of $0.3 billion as a result of the Fincos being classified as held for sale, charges of $0.4 billion for the cancellation of product programs resulting from the convergence of vehicle platforms between our European Business and PSA Group and other insignificant charges. These charges were recorded in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. The remainder of the expected charge will be recognized upon closing.

The Seller has agreed to indemnify PSA Group for certain losses resulting from any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties or breaches of our covenants included in the Agreement and for certain other liabilities including emissions and product liabilities. The Company has entered into a guarantee for the benefit of PSA Group and pursuant to which the Company has agreed to guarantee the Seller's obligation to indemnify PSA Group for certain losses resulting from any inaccuracy of certain representations and warranties or breaches of our covenants in the Agreement and for certain other liabilities. Certain of these indemnification obligations are subject to time limitations, thresholds and/or caps as to the amount of required payments.

We will retain net underfunded pension liabilities of approximately $7.0 billion primarily to current pensioners and former employees of the European Business with vested pension rights. PSA Group will assume approximately $2.9 billion of net underfunded pension liabilities primarily with respect to active employees of the European Business, and at closing, the Seller will make payments to PSA Group, or one or more pension funding vehicles, of approximately $3.4 billion, subject to foreign currency and discount rate fluctuations, in respect of these assumed liabilities, which includes pension funding payments for active employees and the de-risking premium payment of approximately $0.5 billion discussed above. The pension liabilities described herein are calculated as of December 31, 2016 and have been updated to reflect foreign exchange rates at June 30, 2017. The actual pension liabilities retained by the Seller and assumed by PSA Group will be determined at the closing date and, as a result, may differ from the amounts reported herein. We have entered into interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forwards to hedge market risk associated with funding pension liabilities assumed by PSA Group. At closing we expect to draw upon our three year revolving credit facility to fund the payments made to PSA Group for the transferred pension liabilities. We plan to issue debt securities thereafter to repay the draw on our credit facility subject to market conditions.

As part of the retained pension liabilities described above, we will retain the United Kingdom defined benefit pension plans in existence at signing related to the European Business, including responsibility for service cost accruals through the closing date. Those plans with active participants will close to future accrual as of the day before closing. Any future service cost accruals on and from the closing date will be the responsibility of PSA Group.

We have agreed to purchase from and supply to PSA Group certain vehicles for a period of time following closing and not to engage in certain competing businesses in Europe for a period of three years.

For additional details on the Agreement please see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2017.

Vehicle Sales The principal factors that determine consumer vehicle preferences in the markets in which we operate include overall vehicle design, price, quality, available options, safety, reliability, fuel economy and functionality. Market leadership in individual countries in which we compete varies widely. We present both wholesale and retail vehicle sales data to assist in the analysis of our revenue and our market share.

Wholesale vehicle sales data (vehicles in thousands), which represents sales directly to dealers and others, including sales to fleet customers, is the measure that correlates to our revenue from the sale of vehicles, which is the largest component of Automotive net sales and revenue. Wholesale vehicle sales exclude vehicles sold by joint ventures. We have agreed to purchase from and supply to PSA Group certain vehicles for a period of time following the close of the Agreement. As a result, GMIO wholesale vehicle sales include 46 and 35 vehicles related to transactions with the European Business for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and 94 and 70 vehicles for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Changes in wholesale vehicle sales in GMNA and GMSA were insignificant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. In the six months ended June 30, 2017, 37.5% of our wholesale vehicle sales volume was generated outside the U.S. The following table summarizes total wholesale vehicle sales of new vehicles by automotive segment:

Retail vehicle sales data, which represents sales to end customers based upon the good faith estimates of management, including sales to fleet customers, 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. Market share information is based primarily on retail vehicle sales volume. In countries where retail vehicle sales data is not readily available, other data sources such as wholesale or forecast volumes are used to estimate retail vehicle sales to end customers.

Retail vehicle sales data includes all sales by joint ventures on a total vehicle basis, not based on the percentage of ownership in the joint venture. Certain joint venture agreements in China allow for the contractual right to report vehicle sales of non-GM trademarked vehicles by those joint ventures. Retail vehicle sales data includes vehicles used by dealers under courtesy transportation programs and vehicles sold through the dealer registration channel primarily in Europe. This sales channel consists primarily of dealer demonstrator, loaner and self-registered vehicles which are not eligible to be sold as new vehicles after being registered by dealers. Certain fleet sales that are accounted for as operating leases are included in retail vehicle sales at the time of delivery to daily rental car companies. The following table summarizes total industry retail sales, or estimated sales where retail sales volume is not available, of vehicles and our related competitive position by geographic region (vehicles in thousands):

(a)Our China sales include the Automotive China JVs SAIC General Motors Sales Co., Ltd. (SGMS), SAIC GM Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. (SGMW) and FAW-GM Light Duty Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd. (FAW-GM). In the three months ended March 31, 2017, we began using estimated vehicle registrations data as the basis for calculating industry volume and market share in China. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, wholesale volumes were used for Industry, GM and Market Share. Our retail sales in China were 847 and 1,810 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
(b)We do not currently export vehicles to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria. Accordingly these countries are excluded from industry sales data and corresponding calculation of market share.
(c)Sales of Opel/Vauxhall outside of Europe were insignificant in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
(d)Includes Industry and GM sales in India and South Africa. We intend to phase out sales of Chevrolet in the Indian and South African markets by the end of 2017.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017 we estimate we had the largest market share in North America and South America, and the number three market share in the Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa region.

The sales and market share data provided in the table above includes both fleet vehicle sales and sales to retail customers. Certain fleet transactions, particularly sales to daily rental car companies, are generally less profitable than sales to retail customers. A significant portion of the sales to daily rental car companies are recorded as operating leases under U.S. GAAP with no recognition of revenue at the date of initial delivery due to guaranteed repurchase obligations. The following table summarizes estimated fleet sales and those sales as a percentage of total retail vehicle sales (vehicles in thousands):

GM Financial Summary and Outlook GM Financial has expanded its leasing, near prime and prime lending programs in North America; therefore, leasing and prime lending have become a larger percentage of originations and the retail portfolio balance. GM Financial expects used car prices to decline approximately 7% during 2017 compared to 2016 and expects an increased supply of used vehicles to continue to pressure used car prices through at least 2018. GM Financial is currently experiencing weaker residual values, especially in the crossover segment. GM Financial continues to expect pre-tax income to double from 2014 earnings of $0.8 billion once full captive penetration levels are achieved. The following table summarizes the residual value as well as the number of units included in GM Financial equipment on operating leases, net by vehicle type (units in thousands):

GM Financial's retail penetration in North America grew to approximately 44% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 from approximately 35% in the corresponding period in 2016 as a result of the expanded leasing and lending programs. In the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 GM Financial's revenue consisted of leased vehicle income of 71% and 63%, retail finance charge income of 24% and 31%, commercial finance charge income of 3% and 3% and other income of 2% and 3%. We believe that offering a comprehensive suite of financing products will generate incremental sales of our vehicles, drive incremental GM Financial earnings and help support our sales throughout various economic cycles.Refer to the PSA Group Transaction portion of the “Overview” section of this MD&A for a discussion on the Agreement to sell the Fincos to PSA Group.

Consolidated Results We review changes in our results of operations under five categories: volume, mix, price, cost and other. Volume measures the impact of changes in wholesale vehicle volumes driven by industry volume, market share and changes in dealer stock levels. Mix measures the impact of changes to the regional portfolio due to product, model, trim, country and option penetration in current year wholesale vehicle volumes. Price measures the impact of changes related to Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price and various sales allowances. Cost includes primarily: (1) material and freight; (2) manufacturing, engineering, advertising, administrative and selling and warranty expense; and (3) non-vehicle related activity. Other includes primarily foreign exchange and non-vehicle related automotive revenues as well as equity income or loss from our nonconsolidated affiliates. Refer to the regional sections of this MD&A for additional information.

GM Financial Revenue In the three months ended June 30, 2017 Total revenue increased due primarily to increased leased vehicle income of $0.7 billion due to a larger lease portfolio.

GM Financial Earnings Before Income Taxes-Adjusted In the three months ended June 30, 2017 Earnings before income taxes-adjusted increased due primarily to increased net leased vehicle income of $0.2 billion due primarily to a larger lease portfolio, partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to an increase in average debt outstanding.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017 Earnings before income taxes-adjusted increased due primarily to increased net leased vehicle income of $0.4 billion due primarily to a larger lease portfolio, partially offset by increase in interest expense of $0.3 billion due to an increase in average debt outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources We believe that our current level of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and availability under our revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs. We expect to have substantial cash requirements going forward which we plan to fund through total available liquidity and cash flows generated from operations and future debt issuances. We also maintain access to the capital markets and may issue debt or equity securities from time to time, which may provide an additional source of liquidity. Our future uses of cash, which may vary from time to time based on market conditions and other factors, are focused on three objectives, which constitute our capital allocation framework: (1) reinvest in our business; (2) maintain an investment-grade balance sheet; and (3) return excess cash to stockholders. Our known future material uses of cash include, among other possible demands: (1) capital expenditures of approximately $8 billion annually as well as payments for engineering and product development activities; (2) payments associated with previously announced vehicle recalls, the settlements of the multidistrict litigation and any other recall-related contingencies; (3) payments to service debt and other long-term obligations, including discretionary and mandatory contributions to our pension plans; (4) dividend payments on our common stock that are declared by our Board of Directors; (5) payments to purchase shares of our common stock authorized by our Board of Directors; and (6) payments of approximately $3.4 billion based on June 30, 2017 foreign exchange rates related to pension liabilities assumed by PSA Group pursuant to the Agreement, which we expect to fund primarily by drawing on our three year revolving credit facility and intend to subsequently repay through the issuance of debt securities, subject to market conditions. We have entered into interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forwards to hedge market risk associated with these payments.

Our liquidity plans are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the "Forward-Looking Statements" section of this MD&A and the “Risk Factors” section of our 2016 Form 10-K, some of which are outside of our control.

We continue to monitor and evaluate opportunities to strengthen our competitive position over the long term while maintaining an investment-grade balance sheet. These actions may include opportunistic payments to reduce our long-term obligations as well as the possibility of acquisitions, dispositions, investments with joint venture partners and strategic alliances that we believe would generate significant advantages and substantially strengthen our business. These actions may negatively impact our liquidity in the short term.

Management's capital allocation framework includes reinvesting in our business at an average target ROIC-adjusted rate of 20% or greater, maintaining a strong investment grade balance sheet, including a target cash balance of $20 billion, and returning remaining free cash flow to shareholders. Subsequent to the closing of the PSA Group transaction we expect the target cash balance to be reduced to $18 billion, making $2 billion of cash available to accelerate repurchases of our common stock, under our previously announced program, subject to market conditions.

As part of our capital allocation framework we announced in January 2016 that our Board of Directors had authorized a program to purchase up to $4 billion of our common stock before the end of 2017, of which we have purchased $2.5 billion through June 30, 2017. We also announced in January 2017 that our Board of Directors had authorized the purchase of up to an additional $5 billion of our common stock with no expiration date, subsequent to completing the remaining portion of the previously announced program. From inception of the program in 2015 through July 17, 2017 we purchased an aggregate of 233 million shares of our outstanding common stock under our common stock repurchase program for $7.9 billion. In the six months ended June 30, 2017 we returned total cash to shareholders of $2.6 billion, consisting of dividends paid on our common stock and purchases of our common stock.

Automotive Liquidity Total available liquidity includes cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities and funds available under credit facilities. 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. There have been no significant changes in the management of our liquidity, including the allocation of our available liquidity, the composition of our portfolio and our investment guidelines since December 31, 2016. Refer to the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of MD&A in our 2016 Form 10-K.

We use credit facilities as a mechanism to provide additional flexibility in managing our global liquidity. The total size of our credit facilities was $14.5 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which consisted principally of our two primary revolving credit facilities. We did not have any borrowings against our primary facilities, but had letters of credit outstanding under our sub-facility of $0.4 billion at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. GM Financial had access to our revolving credit facilities at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 but did not borrow against them. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 we had intercompany loans from GM Financial of $0.4 billion and $0.3 billion, which consisted primarily of commercial loans to dealers we consolidate, and we had no intercompany loans to GM Financial.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017 the change in Pension and OPEB activities was due primarily to discretionary contributions of $2.0 billion made to our U.S. hourly pension plan in the six months ended June 30, 2016. The change in Working capital was due primarily to a decrease in the change in accounts payable as a result of reduced production volumes. The changes in Equipment on operating leases and Accrued and other liabilities were due primarily to the increase in units provided to daily rental car companies. The change in Other was due to several insignificant items.

Status of Credit Ratings We receive ratings from four independent credit rating agencies: DBRS Limited, Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody's Investor Service (Moody's) and Standard & Poor's (S&P). In January 2017 Moody's upgraded our revolving credit facilities rating to Baa2 from Baa3, and revised their outlook to Stable from Positive. Our senior unsecured bonds were upgraded to Baa3 from Ba1 and remain notched below our revolving credit facilities rating. Also in January 2017, S&P upgraded our corporate rating, revolving credit facilities rating and senior unsecured rating to BBB from BBB– and revised their outlook to Stable from Positive. In June 2017 Fitch upgraded our corporate rating, revolving credit facilities rating and senior unsecured rating to BBB from BBB– and revised their outlook to Stable from Positive.
Automotive Financing – GM Financial Liquidity GM Financial's primary sources of cash are finance charge income, leasing income and proceeds from the sale of terminated leased vehicles, servicing fees, net distributions from secured debt facilities, including securitizations, secured and unsecured borrowings and collections and recoveries on finance receivables. GM Financial's primary uses of cash are purchases of retail finance receivables and leased vehicles, the funding of commercial finance receivables, repayment of secured and unsecured debt, funding credit enhancement requirements in connection with securitizations and secured debt facilities, operating expenses and interest costs. GM Financial continues to monitor and evaluate opportunities to optimize its liquidity position and the mix of its debt. The following table summarizes GM Financial's available liquidity (dollars in billions):

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 the accounting estimates employed are appropriate and the resulting balances are reasonable; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in developing 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 2016 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,” “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 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: (1) our ability to deliver new products, services and customer experiences in response to new participants in the automotive industry and to effectively compete in autonomous, ride–sharing and transportation as a service; (2) our ability to fund and introduce new and improved vehicle models that are able to attract a sufficient number of consumers; (3) the success of our full-size pick-up trucks and SUVs, which may be affected by increases in the price of oil; (4) global automobile market sales volume, which can be volatile; (5) aggressive competition in China; (6) the international scale and footprint of our operations which exposes us to a variety of domestic and foreign political, economic and regulatory risks, including the risk of changes in existing, the adoption of new, or the introduction of novel interpretations of, laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations particularly laws, regulations and policies relating to free trade agreements, vehicle safety including recalls, and, including such actions that may affect the production, licensing, distribution or sale of our products, the cost thereof or applicable tax rates; (7) our joint ventures, which we cannot operate solely for our benefit and over which we may have limited control; (8) our ability to comply with extensive laws and regulations applicable to our industry, including those regarding fuel economy and emissions; (9) costs and risks associated with litigation and government investigations including the potential imposition of damages, substantial fines, civil lawsuits and criminal penalties, interruptions of business, modification of business practices, equitable remedies and other sanctions against us in connection with various legal proceedings and investigations relating to our various recalls; (10) our ability to comply with the terms of the DPA; (11) our ability to maintain quality control over our vehicles and avoid material vehicle recalls and the cost and effect on our reputation and products; (12) the ability of our suppliers to deliver parts, systems and components without disruption and at such times to allow us to meet production schedules; (13) our dependence on our manufacturing facilities around the world; (14) our highly competitive industry, which is characterized by excess manufacturing capacity and the use of incentives and the introduction of new and improved vehicle models by our competitors; (15) our ability to realize production efficiencies and to achieve reductions in costs as we implement operating effectiveness initiatives throughout our automotive operations; (16) our ability to successfully restructure our operations in various countries; (17) our ability to manage risks related to security breaches and other disruptions to our vehicles, information technology networks and systems; (18) our continued ability to develop captive financing capability through GM Financial; (19) 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 mortality or other assumption changes; (20) significant changes in economic, political, regulatory environment, market conditions, foreign currency exchange rates or political stability in the countries in which we operate, particularly China, with the effect of competition from new market entrants and in the United Kingdom with passage of a referendum to discontinue membership in the European Union; and (21) risks and uncertainties associated with the consummation of the sale of Opel/Vauxhall to PSA Group, including satisfaction of the closing conditions.
