Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On December 1, 2021, Paul Jacobson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of General Motors Company (the “Company”) will meet with investors at a virtual fireside chat hosted by Credit Suisse. Mr. Jacobson plans to discuss that the Company now expects full-year 2021 EBIT-adjusted to be approximately $14.0 billion, higher than the previous outlook of the high end of the range of $11.5 billion to $13.5 billion.

See below for reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures.

The information furnished pursuant to this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be considered “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements: This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are any statements other than statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements represent our current judgment about possible future events and are often identified by words such as “aim,” “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. In making these statements, we rely upon assumptions and analysis 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 future events or financial results, and our actual result may differ materially due to a variety of important factors, many of which are described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and 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.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation:

The following table reconciles expected Net income attributable to stockholders under U.S. GAAP to expected EBIT-adjusted (dollars in billions):

	Year Ending December 31, 2021
Net Income Attributable to Stockholders	~$10.0
Income Tax Expense	~$3.0
Automotive Interest Expense, net	~$0.8
Adjustments 1	~$0.3
EBIT-Adjusted 2	~$14.0

¹  These adjustments relate to strategic activities to transition certain Cadillac dealers from the network as part of Cadillac’s electric vehicle strategy, and the unique events associated with recent Supreme Court of Korea decisions related to our salaried workers.

²  We do not consider the potential future impact of adjustments on our expected financial results. Amounts may not sum due to rounding.
