GM achieves second consecutive quarter of profitability and positive cash flow Net income of $1.3 billion and EPS of $2.55, free cash flow of $2.8 billion

DETROIT, August 12, 2010: General Motors Company today announced its second quarter 2010 results, marked by revenue of $33.2 billion and net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.3 billion, resulting in earnings per share on a diluted basis of $2.55. GM's second quarter earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) was $2.0 billion.

GM North America had EBIT in the second quarter 2010 of $1.6 billion, up from $1.2 billion in the first quarter. GM Europe had a loss before interest and taxes of $0.2 billion, an improvement of $0.3 billion from the first quarter. GM International Operations posted EBIT of $0.7 billion, down from $1.2 billion in the first quarter.

Cash flow from operating activities was $3.9 billion and after adjusting for capital expenditures of $1.1 billion, free cash flow was $2.8 billion. GM ended the second quarter with $32.5 billion in cash and marketable securities, including funds in the Canadian Health Care Trust escrow.

"I am pleased with our progress on achieving our business objectives," said Chris Liddell, vice chairman and chief financial officer. "We have delivered strong product, maintained cost discipline, progressed strategic initiatives such as restructuring Europe and acquiring AmeriCredit, and delivered two consecutive quarters of profitability and positive cash flow."

GM's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q provides information about these and other factors, which we may revise or supplement in future reports to the SEC.

      The accompanying tables and charts for securities analysts include
      earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted EBIT
  and free cash flow which are not prepared in accordance with
  Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of
  America (U.S. GAAP) and have not been audited or reviewed by GM's
  independent auditors. EBIT, adjusted EBIT and free cash flow
  are considered non-GAAP financial measures.

      Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide
      meaningful supplemental information regarding GM's operating
  results because they exclude amounts that management does not
  consider part of operating results when assessing and measuring
  the operational and financial performance of the organization.
  Management believes these measures allow it to readily view
  operating
  trends, perform analytical comparisons, benchmark performance among
  geographic regions and assess whether GM's plan to return
  to sustained profitability is on target. Accordingly, GM believes
  these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in allowing for
  greater
  transparency of GM's core operations and they are therefore used by
  management in its financial and operational decision-making.

      While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures
      provide useful information, they are not operating measures
  under U.S. GAAP and there are limitations associated with their use.
  GM's calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not
  be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other
  companies due to potential differences between companies in the
  method of calculation. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP
  financial measures has limitations and should not be considered in
  isolation from, or as a substitute for, other measures such as Net
  income (loss) or Net income (loss) attributable to common
  stockholders. Due to these limitations, these non-GAAP financial
  measures are used as a supplement to U.S. GAAP measures.

      The following table summarizes the reconciliation of EBIT to its most
      comparable U.S. GAAP measure (dollars in millions):

  (a) Interest and income taxes are recorded centrally in Corporate; 
      therefore, there are no reconciling items for GM's operating segments
      between EBIT and Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders.
  (b) In the three months ended June 30, 2010 we changed our managerial 
      reporting structure so that certain entities geographically located 
      within Russia and Uzbekistan were transferred from our GME segment to
      our GMIO segment. We have revised the segment presentation for all
      periods presented.

  (a) In the three months ended June 30, 2010 we identified several items

      For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we have correctly presented
      these items in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and
      corrected the amounts presented for the three months ended
      March 31, 2010.

  In the three months ended March 31, 2010 Adjustments included the

  o     Automobile AB to Spyker Cars NV.

  In the three months ended December 31, 2009 Adjustments included
   the following:

  o     Settlement loss of $2.6 billion related to the termination

        would be formed to pay certain healthcare costs of UAW
        hourly retirees and their beneficiaries;
