2006 CY and Fourth Quarter Results


 

Forward Looking Statements 1 In the presentations and in related comments by General Motors' management, we will use words like "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "initiative," "objective," "plan," "goal," "project," "outlook," "priorities," "target," "intend," "evaluate," "pursue," "seek," "may," "would," "could," "should," "believe," "potential," "continue," "designed," or "impact" to identify forward- looking statements that represent our current judgments about possible future events. We believe these judgments are reasonable, but GM's actual results may differ materially due to a variety of important factors. Among other items, such factors include: the ability of GM to realize production efficiencies, to achieve reductions in costs as a result of the turnaround restructuring and health care cost reductions and to implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management; the pace of product introductions; market acceptance of the Corporation's new products; significant changes in the competitive environment and the effect of competition in the Corporation's markets, including on the Corporation's pricing policies; our ability to maintain adequate liquidity and financing sources and an appropriate level of debt; changes in the existing, or the adoption of new, laws, regulations, policies or other activities of governments, agencies and similar organizations where such actions may affect the production, licensing, distribution or sale of our products, the cost thereof or applicable tax rates; costs and risks associated with litigation; the final results of investigations and inquiries by the SEC and other governmental agencies; changes in our accounting principles, or their application or interpretation, and our ability to make estimates and the assumptions underlying the estimates, including the range of estimates for the Delphi pension benefit guarantees, which could result in an impact on earnings; changes in relations with unions and employees/retirees and the legal interpretations of the agreements with those unions with regard to employees/retirees and the successful completion of a collective bargaining agreement; negotiations and bankruptcy court actions with respect to Delphi's obligations to GM, negotiations with respect to GM's obligations under the pension benefit guarantees to Delphi employees, and GM's ability to recover any indemnity claims against Delphi; labor strikes or work stoppages at GM or its key suppliers such as Delphi or financial difficulties at GM's key suppliers such as Delphi; additional credit rating downgrades and the effects thereof; factors affecting GMAC's results of operations and financial condition such as credit ratings, interest rates, the housing market (including the downturn in residential mortgages, particularly in the nonprime sector) , adequate access to the capital, changes in the residual value of off-lease vehicles, changes in U.S. government-sponsored mortgage programs or disruptions in the markets in which our mortgage subsidiaries operate, and changes in GMAC's contractual servicing rights; shortages of and price increases for fuel; changes in economic conditions, commodity prices, such as steel and other raw materials, currency exchange rates or political stability in the markets in which we operate; the effects of transactions or alliances entered into by one or more of our competitors; currency exchange rates or political instability in the markets in which we operate; and general economic conditions, in particular stability of consumer confidence. The most recent annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed by GM and GMAC provide information about these factors, which may be revised or supplemented in future reports to the SEC on those forms.

Fourth Quarter Key Cash Flow Drivers 26 Q4 Automotive OCF of $0.3B; improved year-on-year by $1.4B Achieved OCF improvements in all four regions Led by higher net income at GMNA Improvement partially offset by adjustments for non-cash elements of net income (primarily related to legacy liabilities) CY 2006 Automotive OCF of $(3.8)B; improved year-on-year by $4.4B Driven by significant improvement in net income, particularly at GMNA Offset in part by $1.0B Mitigation VEBA contribution and negative Accrued Expenses & Other adjustment CY 2006 net cash flows of $6.0B Operating cash burn and restructuring costs funded by asset sales and VEBA withdrawals Further enhanced by GMAC sale proceeds


 

Automotive Cash Flow Summary Refer to Supplemental Charts for reconciliation to GAAP figures 27


 

Accrued Expenses & Other 28 Q4 2006 Accrued Expenses & Other adjustment of $0.8B Cash positively impacted by add-back of non-cash accruals (book taxes and interest expense accruals) Offset by net sales allowance payments and reduction in daily rental sales As GM reduces its daily rental sales, cash flow negatively impacted as repurchase of cars exceeds new sales For CY 2006, Accrued Expenses and Other adjustment was $(3.1)B Net sales allowance payments, reduction in daily rental sales, and add- back of non-cash tax benefits related to Special Attrition Program charge


 

U.S. Pension Expense 3 29


 

U.S. Pension Investment Policy 30 Given the overfunded status of its U.S. pension plans, GM is adopting a more conservative long-term asset allocation policy Change involves reallocation of 20% of plan assets from equity to fixed income exposure Intended to significantly lower expected volatility of asset returns and plan funded status, as well as probability of future contribution requirements U.S. pension plans now have the following target asset allocations: As a result of new target asset allocations, GM is revising its expected long-term annual return assumption for U.S. pension plans from 9.0% to 8.5% effective January 1, 2007


 

U.S. Health Care Spending & OPEB Expense 2 3 31


 

Pension & OPEB - SFAS 158 Update 32 Impact of adopting SFAS 158 at December 31, 2006 was a reduction of shareholders' equity of $16.9B after-tax, to a new total of $(5.4)B GM will early adopt new measurement date provisions of SFAS 158 on January 1, 2007 using a "two-measurement" approach Customary measurements taken on 9/30/06 (U.S. OPEB, international pensions) and 11/30/06 (Canadian pensions) used to calculate expense from the date of those measurements through 12/31/06 Beginning retained earnings adjusted by $(0.7)B on 1/1/07 for the net benefit expense/income during those periods Second measurement performed on 1/1/07 to determine net benefit expense/income that will be recorded in 2007 Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) adjusted by $2.1B on 1/1/07 for the net change in benefit assets/liabilities since the previous measurement date 2006 financial statements reflect curtailments and settlements in Q4 (largely related to GMAC transaction)


 

Delphi Status 33 Plan Framework Support Agreement entered into with Delphi and an investor group on December 18 Establishes a framework and exclusivity period within which to continue negotiations to finalize definitive agreements GM would receive $2.6B in cash, as well as a limited amount of equity $1.5 - $2B net Delphi pension liabilities would be transferred to GM pension plan; GM would receive note from Delphi payable for such amount Bankruptcy court approved framework agreement on January 12 Contingent exposure estimate remains $6 - $7.5B pre-tax Charges of $6B taken to date, of which $4.5B subsequently transferred to OPEB liability for Delphi employees flowing to GM to work or retire Restructuring provides opportunity to address purchase price premium of about $2B annually


 

2007 Outlook First Quarter Lower North America production Full benefit of structural cost savings Pension and health care changes, attrition program Strong product launch cadence Full-size pickups, crossover utilities Continued emerging market growth Calendar Year Improved earnings Potential volatility due to mark-to-market for certain derivatives Improved but negative cash flow Capital spending increased to $8.5B - $9B 34


 

Summary On adjusted basis, automotive operations improved over $1.4B vs. Q4 2005 and $5.7B vs. CY 2005, largely on strength of turnaround in North America Continued automotive revenue growth, with revenue records for both Q4 and CY Q4 global share declined marginally vs. 2005 as strong volume growth in LAAM and AP helped offset lower U.S. results Automotive liquidity strengthened further to $26.4B, but intense focus remains on improving operating cash flow and maintaining strong liquidity Will evaluate strategic alternatives for Allison Key priority is to finalize Delphi negotiations 35
