ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On June 25, 2015 General Motors Company (GM) Vice President, Controller & Chief Accounting Officer Thomas Timko gave a presentation to financial analysts which covered an overview of GM's financial reporting practices and policies. The presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
ITEM 8.01 Other Events
During the presentation Mr. Timko announced that GM has determined that it will change the exchange rate used for remeasuring the net assets of its Venezuelan subsidiaries to the Sistema Marginal de Divisas (SIMADI) rate of approximately BsF 200 to $1.00 from the Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD) rate of BsF 12 to $1.00. The SIMADI rate is considered more reflective of economic reality in Venezuela and future transactions at the SICAD rate appear highly unlikely. As a result GM expects to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $600 million primarily related to this remeasurement in Automotive cost of sales in the second quarter of 2015. The remeasurement charge will be treated as special for EBIT-adjusted reporting purposes. GM does not expect this decision to impact its South American or Venezuelan operating results, nor does it believe it will affect 2015 adjusted free cash flows.

1 In this presentation and in related comments by our management, our use of the words “plans,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “possible,” “target,” “believe,” “commit,” “intend,” “continue,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “project,” “appears,” “potential,” “projected,” “upside,” “positioned,” “outlook” or similar expressions is intended to identify forward- looking statements that represent our current judgment about possible future events. 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. Among other items, such factors may include: our ability to realize production efficiencies and to achieve reductions in costs as a result of our restructuring initiatives and labor modifications; our ability to maintain quality control over our vehicles and avoid material vehicle recalls and the cost and effect on our reputation of product recalls; our ability to maintain adequate financing sources, including as required to fund our planned significant investment in new technology; the ability of our suppliers to timely deliver parts, components and systems; our ability to realize successful vehicle applications of new technology; overall strength and stability of our markets, particularly outside of North America and China; costs and risks associated with litigation and government investigations including those related to our recent recalls; our ability to remain competitive and our ability to continue to attract new customers, particularly for our new products. General Motors Co. (“GM”)’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q provides information about these and other factors, which we may revise or supplement in future reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Forward Looking Statements Note: References throughout this presentation to SEC filed documents 10-Q and 10-K refer to page numbers from the EDGAR filed versions, which can be found on: http://www.gm.com/company/investors/sec-filings.html

3 ? Reporting ? Understanding the EBIT Bridge ? Warranty & Recall Accounting ? Taxes ? Automotive Cash Flow Considerations ? Appendix Agenda
4 ¶ GM reports results through five total segments broken out between Automotive and Automotive Financing – Automotive (includes vehicle manufacturing & sales, parts & accessories, and OnStar) GM North America (GMNA) GM Europe (GME) GM International Operations (GMIO) » Includes GM International (GMI) and Equity Income from Automotive China Joint Ventures (“JVs”) GM South America (GMSA) – Automotive Financing GM Financial (GMF) » Includes Equity Income from GM Financial China JV ¶ Corporate/Eliminations – Nonsegment operations – Consists of centrally recorded income and costs such as interest, income taxes, financial hedging gains/losses/costs, and corporate expenditures, such as corporate governance costs and legal fees, and certain nonsegment specific revenues and expenses Reporting – Segments
5 ¶ We report revenue and profitability in the region in which we sell vehicles, parts & accessories, & services to third party customers – Improves profit and revenue visibility by market – Insightful for managerial decisions (capital allocation, sales/profitability accountability) ¶ We report our segment volumes on a wholesale basis (not production or retail basis) – Fully aligns volumes with country of sale reporting / Profit & Loss – Wholesale is when revenue is recognized Reporting – Country of Sale
6 Wholesale Units Revenue $ GM Dealers (excludes JV sales) Wholesale Represents sales to dealers/others and correlates with GM reported revenue Retail Represents sales to end consumers and correlates with market share and global deliveries End Consumer (includes fleet/JV sales)GM/GM Dealers Retail Units Reporting – Wholesale vs. Retail Note: Wholesale volumes of non-consolidated joint ventures (primarily China JVs) are included in retail vehicle sales instead of wholesale vehicle sales
7 Wholesale volumes of non-consolidated joint ventures (primarily China JVs) are included in retail vehicle sales instead of wholesale vehicle sales Note: Information per p. 1-2 of the 2014 10-K *For China, end user retail data is not readily available for the industry; therefore, wholesale volumes were used for GM, Industry, and Market Share 2014 CY Wholesale and Retail vehicle sales by segment: Reporting – Wholesale vs. Retail GM GM Industry Market Share GMNA 3,320 GMNA 3,413 20,237 16.9% GME 1,172 GME 1,256 18,731 6.7% GMIO 655 GMIO* 4,378 42,980 10.2% GMSA 886 GMSA 878 5,301 16.6% Worldwide 6,033 Worldwide 9,925 87,249 11.4% Wholesale Vehicle Sales (in thousands) Retail Vehicle Sales (in thousands)
8 Wholesale units don’t include rental cars sold that have guaranteed repurchase obligations; these are recorded as operating leases with lease revenue recorded over the lease period. Once a rental car is sold at auction, GM recognizes it as a wholesale unit and recognizes the majority of revenue and cost of sales. GM also recognizes any difference between estimated and actual auction proceeds. * Illustrative example only, does not reflect factual numbers Example Quarter Activity (in thousands) * Production 900 Imports 50 Exports (40) Adjustments to Company Inventory (5) Factory Unit Sales 905 Daily Rental (75) Daily Rental Auctions 20 Wholesale Units 850 Retail Units 950 Production to Retail – An Example
9 ¶ Nonconsolidated affiliates are entities in which an equity interest is maintained and the equity method of accounting is used ¶ The majority of our nonconsolidated affiliates are JVs located in China, financial results from these JVs are not consolidated into our financial statements, though recognized as equity income Summary of our direct ownership interest in Automotive China JVs Note: Shanghai GM excludes the sales company “SAIC General Motors Sales Company” which is 49% owned by GM and 51% owned by SAIC Note: Additional information on our nonconsolidated affiliates is found on p. 74-76 of the 2014 10-K (Note 8) Reporting – Joint Ventures 50% 50% 44% 5.9% 50% 50% 50.1%
1 0 ¶ Proportionate share of earnings of each JV is reflected as Equity income on the Income Statement ¶ The carrying amount of investments in nonconsolidated affiliates resides in Total equity in net assets of nonconsolidated affiliates on the Balance Sheet This table is presented quarterly and located on p. 10 of 2015 1Q 10-Q (Note 5) This table is presented annually and located on p. 75 of 2014 10-K (Note 8) Reporting – Joint Ventures ¶ Cash flow impact is reflected on the consolidated statements of cash flows when dividends are paid from a JV to GM. Undistributed earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates and gains on investments represents the component of JV earnings that have not been repaid in the form of a dividend
1 1 ¶ EBIT-Adjusted is our internal measure of profitability and represents earnings before interest and taxes, adjusted for “special items” ¶ A special item is defined as an event or transaction that is not a part of the normal operating cycle of ongoing operations ¶ EBIT-Adjusted is reconciled to our most relevant U.S. GAAP equivalent ¶ Useful to exclude special items to more accurately track core operational performance – EBIT-Adjusted (non-GAAP) excludes special items Reporting – Special Items: EBIT-Adjusted
1 2 Example SpecialItem? Example Special Item? Gain/loss on acquisition or disposition of a business or investment Routine restructuring activities (employee restructuring, employee separation costs, etc.) Gain/loss on extinguishment of debt Routine impairment of PP&E Certain impairments (investments, long lived assets, goodwill) Impairments of special tooling (e.g. impairment associated with a low-performing vehicle line) Costs associated with strategic shift in operations of the business (e.g. exiting a brand in a market) Gain/loss on disposition of assets (e.g. machinery and equipment or tooling) Settlement loss on pension plans arising from a discrete management action to derisk the pension plans Routine policy and warranty reserve adjustment, including large recall campaign costs Note: List is not intended to be all-inclusive, and subject to other considerations (for example, certain $ thresholds) Special Items – Examples

1 4 ¶ Adjusted Automotive Free Cash Flow is defined as our cash inflow (or outflow) from operations less cash outflows from capital expenditures, adjusted for special items ¶ Useful for investors regarding the liquidity of our automotive operations ¶ Special items for free cash flow are adjustments for management actions primarily related to the strengthening of our balance sheet ¶ Special Item Adjustments to Auto Free Cash Flow: Reporting – Special Items: Adjusted Auto Free Cash Flow Note: Adjusted auto free cash flow table from p. 42 of the 2014 10-K (Item 7)
1 5 Agenda ? Reporting ? Understanding the EBIT Bridge ? Warranty & Recall Accounting ? Taxes ? Automotive Cash Flow Considerations ? Appendix
1 6 Volume: Changes in number of wholesale vehicles sold (at prior period portfolio average vehicle variable profit per unit) Vehicle variable profit drivers include gross sales, sales allowances, material costs, freight costs, and the variable portion of Policy & Warranty (“P&W”) costs and Manufacturing costs. Mix: Changes in product mix sold – includes current mix and new product mix, retailvs. fleet, country/segment/model/trim levels/options Price: The economic price change related to current vehicles including both Gross Price (MSRP) and Sales Allowances for both retail & fleet. In addition, includes all price changes related to majors. Cost: Change in variable (includes economic material/freight changes on current vehicles, all material/freight changes on majors, P&W/Recall reserve adjustments, non-vehicle activity (i.e. OnStar & Parts & Accessories)) and fixed cost (includes fixed manufacturing, D&A, engineering, restructuring, SG&A) Other: Changes primarily related to non-operating income, equity income, noncontrollinginterest, GMF and foreign exchange impacts (transactional & translational) ¶ We explain the year-over-year variance of our consolidated and segment specific EBIT-Adjusted using the following categories Note: Current – existing carryover vehicles, which does not include new or majors Majors – Vehicles launched within the last twelve months incorporating significant exterior and / or interior changes versus the previous existing GM entry. New – new to a segment or new architecture. Incremental profit for new GM entrants launched within the last twelve months will be reflected as mix. EBIT-Adjusted Bridge Definitions
1 7 Volume: Measures the vehicle profit variance from changes in wholesale volumes (at prior comparative period portfolio average per unit) driven by changes in industry volume, market share, and dealer stocks within the specific region. Mix: Measures the vehicle profit variances resulting from changes in current mix and new product mix contributed by retail vs. fleet, country, segment, model, trim, and option mix. Regional volume and gross mix (prior to the removal of economic performance and FX) variances are calculated first and isolate the impact of the change in regional vehicle volumes and regional vehicle per units at a variable profit level. ? Volume and Mix vehicle variable profit drivers include gross sales, sales allowances, material costs, freight costs, and the variable portion of P&W costs and Manufacturing costs. Current mix among vehicle variance isolates the impact of changes in the mix of carryover vehicles sold. New mix among vehicle variance isolates the impact of changes in the mix of vehicles sold that are new to a segment or new architecture. Bridge Definitions: Volume & Mix Note: Bridge example above from Q1 2015 Analyst Earnings Deck
1 8 Price: Wholesale price changes are for carryover and major vehicles for Gross Revenue and Sales Allowances as well as incentive stock adjustments related to all vehicles residing within a dealer’s inventory. Carryover vehicle price changes are for economic based price changes (MSRP & Sales Allowances) without a corresponding change in equipment and features. Major vehicle price changes include all price changes, including those with a corresponding change in equipment and features. Fleet, including Daily rental auction results, also impacts price - the net gain/loss as a result of sale of returned vehicles (difference between expected and actual auction proceeds) is included as a component of price. Bridge Definitions: Price Note: Bridge example above from Q1 2015 Analyst Earnings Deck
1 9 Cost: Measures the profit variance from changes in fixed costs and variable costs including carryover vehicle economic material/freight costs, all material/freight cost changes on major vehicles, P&W/recall reserve adjustments, and non-vehicle activity. Fixed costs includes fixed manufacturing, D&A, engineering, restructuring, and SG&A. Carryover vehicle material & freight cost changes are for economic based cost changes without a corresponding change in price. Major vehicle material & freight cost includes all cost changes, including those with a corresponding change in price. Non-vehicle activity is for third-party non-vehicle related sales including parts and accessories & OnStar. Other: Measures the profit variance from changes primarily related to non-operating income, equity income, noncontrolling interest, GMF, and foreign exchange impacts (transactional & translational).
