Sweeping change accompanied record performance at General Motors in 2017. To continue focusing resources on its most pro table franchises, GM sold its Opel/ Vauxhall and GM Financial European operations, and exited South and East Africa, and India. The company reduced U.S. inventories to align supply with demand, while preparing for its all-new full-size pickups, and completed the refresh of its crossover portfolio by launching the Chevrolet Traverse and Equinox, Buick Enclave and GMC Terrain. To advance its vision of a zero emissions world, GM laid out plans to introduce at least 20 new all-electric vehicles that will launch by 2023. The company also recently led a Safety Petition asking the U.S. Department of Transportation to allow GM to safely deploy its fourth-gen self-driving Cruise AV on public roads. This vehicle eliminates the steering wheel, pedals and other unnecessary manual controls. GM expects to deploy self driving vehicles in a ride sharing environment in 2019. In January, GM forecasted its full-year 2018 to be largely in line with 2017’s record performance, building on previous records in 2016 and 2015. The introduction of its all-new full-size pickups later this year is expected to help accelerate earnings in 2019. On a consolidated basis (including discontinued operations), GM reported a 2017 net loss of $3.9 billion, driven primarily by charges totaling $13.5 billion. These included a $7.3-billion non-cash charge related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets due to U.S. tax reform, and a largely non-cash charge of $6.2 billion resulting from the sale of Opel/ Vauxhall. EARNINGS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS GM Reports 2017 EPS Diluted of $0.22 and Record EPS Diluted- adjusted of $6.62 • Full-year income of $0.3 billion; EBIT-adj. of $12.8 billion, repeats record 2016 • Third straight year of 10-percent or higher margins in North America • Q4 EPS diluted of $(3.46); Record Q4 EPS diluted-adj. of $1.65 • Results reflect $7.3 billion non-cash charge related to U.S. tax reform EBIT-adj.

EBIT-adjusted was a record for a fourth quarter. This result was driven by sales of GM’s latest crossovers, along with strong pricing and cost control — which more than oset a wholesale volume decline during the quarter. Fourth-quarter income (loss) of $(4.9) billion includes a non-cash charge of $7.3 billion related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets due to U.S. tax reform.

Through December 31, 2017, GM sold 8.9 million vehicles globally, an increase of 0.8 percent from 2016, and grew market share in each of its three key markets. In the United States, GM sold 3 million vehicles, including record sales of crossovers and pickup trucks, helping the company earn record average transaction prices, according to J.D. Power PIN estimates. GM and its joint ventures sold 4 million vehicles in China for the first time. The record sales were anchored by Baojun and Buick, along with Cadillac, which posted a sales increase of 51 percent. In South America, Chevy posted a 13.8-percent sales increase. Global deliveries of electric vehicles were a record 69,500, led by record deliveries of Chevrolet Bolt EV (26,000) and Baojun E100 (11,500). For more details, click here. In 2018, GM will continue its product momentum with the introduction of its all-new full-size trucks — the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. These important vehicles will round out the widest- ranging truck portfolio in the industry. The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado expands its customer appeal signicantly, featuring eight distinct models to serve the “high value,” “high feature” and “high volume” segments of the market. This year, GM will gain the benet of a full year of volume from the ongoing launches of its newest crossovers, the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Terrain. The company will also introduce the next all-new Cadillac — the XT4 crossover — which will make its global debut this year. After introducing six new or refreshed models in the fourth quarter in China, GM and its JV partners will launch 15 more in 2018, under the Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet, Baojun and Wuling brands. GM returned $6.7 billion to shareholders in 2017 through share buybacks of $4.5 billion and dividends of $2.2 billion. Since 2012, GM has returned more than $25 billion, which represents more than 90 percent of available free cash flow generated over that time. GM’s 2017 year-end globalautomotive pension underfunded position was $14.1 bi l l ion, an improvement from $18.2 billion at the end of 2016 which includes the pension liabilities assumed by PSA in connection with the sale of Opel/Vauxhall. The funded status of the company’s $68.5 billion 2017 year-end U.S. defined-benefit pension plan obligation improved to about 92-percent, up from approximately 90 percent in 2016, as plan assets grew to $62.6 billion from $61.6 billion.

General Motors Company and Subsidiaries
Supplemental Material
(Unaudited)

Unless otherwise indicated, General Motors Company's (GM) non-GAAP measures are related to our continuing operations and not our discontinued operations or our assets and liabilities held for sale. GM's non-GAAP measures include earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT)-adjusted, presented net of noncontrolling interests, earnings per share (EPS)-diluted-adjusted, effective tax rate-adjusted (ETR-adjusted), return on invested capital-adjusted (ROIC-adjusted) and adjusted automotive free cash flow. GM's 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 certain of 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 EBIT-adjusted is presented net of noncontrolling interests and 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 EPS-diluted-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review our consolidated diluted EPS 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.

ETR-adjusted ETR-adjusted is used by management and can be used by investors to review the consolidated effective tax rate for our core operations on a consistent basis. ETR-adjusted is calculated as Income tax expense less the income tax related to the adjustments noted above for EBIT-adjusted and the income tax adjustments noted above for EPS-diluted-adjusted divided by Income before income taxes less adjustments.

ROIC-adjusted 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 other postretirement benefits (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 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.

__________
(a)
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we changed our automotive segments as a result of changes in our organizational structure and the evolution of our business resulting from the sale of the Opel and Vauxhall businesses and certain other assets in Europe (the Opel/Vauxhall Business) and the various strategic actions taken in the GM International Operations (GMIO) region. As a result, our GM South America (GMSA) and GMIO operating segments are now reported as one, combined reportable international segment, GMI. Our GMNA and GM Financial segments were not impacted. All periods presented have been recast to reflect the changes. Refer to the reconciliation of key financial information of our GMIO and GMSA operating segments under U.S. GAAP to key financial information of GMI within a following section for details.
(b)
GM Financial amounts represent earnings before income taxes-adjusted.
(c)
GM's automotive operations' interest income and interest expense, Maven, legacy costs from the Opel/Vauxhall Business, which are primarily pension costs, corporate expenditures including autonomous vehicle-related engineering and other costs and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses are recorded centrally in Corporate.
(d)
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.
(e)
This adjustment was excluded because we ceased operations and terminated employment relationships in Venezuela.
(f)
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 constituents.
(g)
Income tax expense includes a special item of $9.1 billion in the year ended December 31, 2017 which represents the tax expense of $7.3 billion related to U.S. tax reform legislation recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2017 and the establishment of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $2.3 billion that will no longer be realizable as a result of the sale of the Opel/Vauxhall Business, partially offset by tax benefits related to tax settlements.

________
(a)
During the three months ended December 31, 2017, we changed our automotive segments as a result of changes in our organizational structure and the evolution of our business resulting from the sale of the Opel/Vauxhall Business and the various strategic actions taken in the GMIO region. As a result, our GMSA and GMIO operating segments are now reported as one, combined reportable international segment, GMI. Our GMNA and GM Financial segments were not impacted. All periods presented have been recast to reflect the changes. Refer to the reconciliation of key financial information of our GMIO and GMSA operating segments under U.S. GAAP to key financial information of GMI within the following section for details.
(b)
Includes Automotive China equity income of $504 million and $525 million in the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and $2.0 billion in the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Vehicle Sales

GM presents both wholesale and retail vehicle sales data to assist in the analysis of our revenue and our market share. GM does 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 GM's market share.

Wholesale vehicle sales data, which represents sales directly to dealers and others, including sales to fleet customers, is the measure that correlates to GM's 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. In the year ended December 31, 2017 39% 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 sales to fleet customers, does not correlate directly to the revenue GM recognizes during the period. However retail vehicle sales data is indicative of the underlying demand for GM 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, by geographic region (vehicles in thousands):
