  RE:

General Motors Company

Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2024

Response Dated September 8, 2025

File No. 001-34960

To whom it may concern:

This letter from General Motors Company (“we”, “our”, “us”, “GM” or the “Company”) is in response to a comment from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) received by letter dated September 30, 2025, relating to the Company’s Form 10-K for the Year Ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 10-K”) (File No. 001-34960) filed with the Commission on January 28, 2025 and our response dated September 8, 2025, to comments from the Staff received by letter dated August 26, 2025.

In this letter, we have recited the comments from the Staff in italicized, bold type and have followed each comment with the Company’s response thereto.

Response Letter Dated September 8, 2025

Company Responses to Staff Comments 1 Through 3, page 2

 

  1.

We note your responses to prior comments one through three. ASC 280-10-50-22, 25, and 26A through 26C require disclosure of certain amounts for each reportable segment, and ASC 280-10-50-30 requires reconciliations from totals of certain reportable segments’ amounts to consolidated amounts. Your tabular disclosure of segment information includes certain amounts for Corporate, Total Automotive, and the consolidated entity that are not required by ASC 280 and should be removed from your Segment Reporting footnote. For example, because Total Automotive is not a reportable segment, disclosure of “Earnings (loss) before interest and taxes – adjusted” for Total Automotive is not required by ASC 280-10-50-22. Similarly, the amount of other segment items disclosed for Total Automotive is not required by ASC 280-10-50-26B. Please revise your footnote to:


   

Reconcile the total of the reportable segments’ measures of segment profit or loss to consolidated income before taxes as required by ASC 280-10-50-30(b). Similarly, revise to reconcile other totals of reportable segments’ amounts, such as revenues, assets, and depreciation and amortization, to the corresponding consolidated amounts as required by ASC 280-10-50-30. Include amounts in the Eliminations or Eliminations/Reclassifications columns as part of these reconciliations. See ASC 280-10-50-31. See also ASC 280-10-55-48;

 

   

Include amounts attributable to “Corporate” separately from other reconciling items when reconciling from total reportable segment amounts to consolidated amounts, rather than as currently presented in a separate column. See ASC 280-10-50-15;

 

   

Remove the Total Automotive column; and

 

   

Ensure your resulting disclosure does not present consolidated amounts of the measure of segment profit or loss and other segment items as currently reflected in the Total column.

In response to the Staff’s comment, in future filings we will align our Segments footnote to the presentation as described above for all periods presented. An illustrative example of this presentation is included in the Exhibit attached hereto.

Should you have any questions or comments regarding the responses in this letter, please feel free to contact me at (313) 407-3260.

 

Very Truly Yours,

/s/ Christopher T. Hatto

Exhibit:

Revised Segment Footnote Table - For illustration purposes, we present below a revised version of the table summarizing key financial information by segment, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, as presented in Note 23 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2024 10-K. In particular, in future filings we would add a new column to present a reportable segment total for all amounts presented, reposition the prior Corporate, Eliminations and Eliminations/Reclassifications columns as reconciling items to reconcile Total Reportable Segments Earnings (loss) before interest and taxes-adjusted to Income before income taxes, and remove the Total Automotive and Total Company amounts for Net sales and revenue, Segment expenses and other items and Earnings (loss) before interest and taxes-adjusted.
