GM reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of $48.6 billion, down 0.3% from a year earlier, and net income attributable to stockholders of $1.3 billion, down 56.6%. The quarter included $1.6 billion of EV strategic realignment adjustments. GM raised its 2025 EBIT-adjusted and adjusted EPS guidance but lowered the top end of its GAAP net income range, which matters to shareholders because the adjusted and GAAP measures moved in different directions.
Q3 EBIT-adjusted was $3.4 billion, down 18.0% from $4.1 billion; diluted EPS was $1.35 versus $2.68.
Q3 adjustments included a $1.6 billion EV strategic realignment charge.
2025 EBIT-adjusted guidance raised to $12.0 billion-$13.0 billion from $10.0 billion-$12.5 billion; adjusted EPS guidance raised to $9.75-$10.50 from $8.25-$10.00.
2025 net income guidance updated to $7.7 billion-$8.3 billion from $7.7 billion-$9.5 billion.
General Motors disclosed that its Audit Committee approved $1.6 billion in charges in its North America unit for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, tied to a strategic realignment of EV capacity after U.S. policy changes slowed expected EV adoption. The charges include $1.2 billion of non-cash impairment and other charges and $0.4 billion, mainly contract cancellation fees and settlements, that will have a cash impact. GM says further material charges are reasonably possible, which could weigh on future results and cash flows.
