General Motors Company (GM) reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, revealing a total net sales and revenue of $47.1 billion, a decrease of 1.8% from $48.0 billion in the same period last year. The automotive segment generated $42.9 billion in revenue, down from $44.1 billion, while GM Financial contributed $4.3 billion, up from $3.9 billion. The company’s net income attributable to stockholders was $1.9 billion, or $1.94 per share, compared to $2.9 billion, or $2.57 per share, in the prior year quarter. For the first half of 2025, GM's total net sales and revenue reached $91.1 billion, slightly up from $91.0 billion in the first half of 2024.
The financial performance reflects a notable decline in operating income, which fell to $2.1 billion from $3.9 billion year-over-year. This decline was attributed to increased costs, particularly in materials and freight, which rose by $1.4 billion, including $1.1 billion due to tariffs. Additionally, warranty-related costs increased by $0.3 billion, and unfavorable inventory adjustments related to electric vehicles (EVs) contributed to the overall cost pressures. Despite these challenges, GM's automotive segment maintained a strong market presence, with a U.S. market share of 17.3%, up from 16.1% in the previous year.
Strategically, GM has made significant organizational changes, including the acquisition of noncontrolling interests in Cruise, which is now fully integrated into GM's operations. The company has shifted its focus towards developing advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and enhancing its EV portfolio. GM's vehicle sales in the U.S. totaled 1.4 million units in the first half of 2025, reflecting a 3.8% increase in industry sales. In China, GM's market share rose to 7.2%, with total vehicle sales reaching 0.9 million units, up from 0.8 million in the previous year.
Looking ahead, GM anticipates a challenging environment due to evolving market conditions, including potential impacts from new tariffs and regulatory changes. The company expects net income attributable to stockholders for the full year 2025 to be between $7.7 billion and $9.5 billion, with diluted earnings per share projected between $8.22 and $9.97. GM remains committed to improving its cost structure and profitability, particularly in the EV segment, while navigating the complexities of the automotive market.
