GM Earns $3.8 Billion, or $7.14 Per Share in 2003
-- Adjusted EPS of $5.62
Fourth Quarter Earnings $1.0 Billion, or $2.13 Per Share
-- Adjusted EPS of $1.47
GMAC Posts Ninth Straight Year of Earnings Growth
GM Generated More Than $32 Billion in Cash in 2003
General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM) today reported 2003 consolidated net income
of $3.8 billion, or $7.14 per diluted share of common stock, compared with $1.7
billion, or $3.35 per share, in 2002. Revenue rose 4.6 percent to $185.5
billion from $177.3 billion in 2002, which is restated to exclude Hughes
Electronics.
GM's adjusted income, which excludes special items and results from Hughes
Electronics, totaled $3.2 billion, or $5.62 per share, in 2003, compared with
$3.9 billion, or $6.98 per share in 2002.
FOURTH QUARTER 2003
In the fourth quarter of 2003, General Motors reported consolidated net
income of $1.0 billion, or $2.13 per share, compared with $1.0 billion, or
$1.71 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2002. Revenue rose 7.7 percent to
$49.1 billion from $45.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2002.
Excluding special items and Hughes, GM earned $838 million, or $1.47 per
share, in the fourth quarter of 2003, compared with $934 million, or $1.67 per
share, in the year ago period. GM's fourth-quarter-2003 results reflect
various special items with a net favorable effect of $339 million, or $0.72
per share. These special items include a net gain of $1.2 billion associated
with the split-off of Hughes Electronics from GM and related sale of Hughes
stock to News Corp., and a positive adjustment of $103 million to previous
accruals for excess employees at certain North American facilities. These
items were partially offset by a charge of $725 million for the cost of lump-
sum payments and vehicle-discount vouchers to retirees as provided for in the
2003 United Auto Workers (UAW) labor contract, and additional restructuring
actions at GM Europe totaling $218 million.
GM's 2003 results reflect increased dilution primarily attributable to the
status of employee stock options, which reduced earnings per share by
approximately $0.03 in the fourth quarter of 2003 and $0.08 in calendar year
2003. GM's 2003 results also include preliminary earnings from Hughes
Electronics (NYSE: HS). Hughes, now an independent, publicly traded company,
will report financial results at a later date. GM split off Hughes
Electronics and retired the GM Class H common stock on Dec. 22, 2003.
GM financial results described throughout the remainder of this release
exclude special items unless otherwise noted (see "Highlights").
YEAR IN REVIEW
"GM reported solid overall results in 2003, reflecting strong
contributions from GMAC and our Asia Pacific automotive operations," GM
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rick Wagoner said. "By leveraging our
strengths as a global manufacturer with strong brands and great cars and
trucks, we expect to improve our automotive profitability, increase revenue
and build market share in 2004."
GM generated more than $32 billion in cash in 2003, about three times the
company's original target, including more than $10 billion in cash from
automotive operations, as well as proceeds from non-core asset sales and
global debt offerings.
GM's strong cash performance enabled the company to contribute a total of
$18.5 billion to its U.S. pension plans and $3.3 billion to the Voluntary
Employees' Beneficiary Associated (VEBA) Trust for retiree health-care
benefits in 2003. As previously disclosed, GM contributed an additional $2.4
billion to the VEBA Trust in January 2004.
"These moves considerably strengthened our balance sheet, and enabled us
to end the year with our combined U.S. hourly and salaried pension plans fully
funded," Wagoner said. "This was a remarkable accomplishment considering that
these plans were nearly $18 billion underfunded at the start of 2003."
Cash, marketable securities, and assets of the VEBA trust invested in
short-term fixed-income securities totaled $26.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2003,
excluding GMAC and Hughes, compared with $17.3 billion the end of 2002.
GM AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS
GM's global automotive operations earned $396 million in the fourth
quarter of 2003, compared with $574 million in the year-ago quarter, excluding
special items. The fourth-quarter-2003 results reflected sharply higher
profits in the company's Asia Pacific operations, reduced losses in Europe,
lower income in North America, and increased losses in Latin America. For all
of 2003, GM's automotive operations earned $1.1 billion, compared with $2.6
billion in 2002. The deterioration in profitability is partially attributable
to higher pension and health-care costs in the U.S.
GM increased its global market share to 15.2 percent in the fourth quarter
of 2003 from 15.1 percent the prior year. For the full year, three out of
four automotive regions posted gains, although GM's global market share
declined to 14.7 percent from 15.0 percent. The decline reflects primarily
the mix effect of strong industry growth in Asia where GM's share is less than
its global share.
GM North America (GMNA) earned $397 million in the fourth quarter of 2003,
compared with $644 million in the year-ago period, as lower production volumes
and higher pension and health-care costs were partially offset by strong cost
performance and favorable mix. For 2003, GMNA earned $1.2 billion, down from
$3.1 billion in 2002.
Despite strong gains in the second half of the year, GM's share of the
U.S. market in 2003 was 28.0 percent compared with 28.3 percent in 2002.
"While overall market share was down, we were pleased with our sales
momentum in the second half of 2003 when our market share was 28.7 percent,"
Wagoner said. "As we continue our aggressive new-product cadence, we are
optimistic about increasing market share in 2004.
"Over the last few years, we have significantly improved the quality and
competitive position of our vehicles," Wagoner said. "This trend continued in
2003 with Cadillac leading the way. There's still more to do, but we believe
our cars and trucks are beginning to change consumer perceptions."
GM Europe (GME) reported a loss of $66 million in the fourth quarter of
2003, compared with a loss of $129 million a year ago as continued material
and structural cost reductions were partially offset by foreign-exchange
losses, continued price pressure and unfavorable mix. For 2003, GME had a
loss of $286 million, an improvement from the $549 million loss in 2002.
"While we're disappointed that we fell short of our financial targets in
Europe, we continue to make good progress on cost reduction," Wagoner said.
"In 2004, we expect to improve our operating performance as we launch new
models such as the Opel Astra, Vectra wagon and a new small convertible."
GM Asia Pacific (GMAP) earned $177 million in the fourth quarter of 2003,
a significant improvement from year-ago earnings of $66 million. Continued
strong performance by Shanghai GM in China and Holden in Australia, together
with improved results from GM's equity alliances, contributed to GMAP's
performance. For all of 2003, GMAP earned $577 million, more than three times
the net income of $188 million in 2002.
"GM's Asia Pacific operations delivered great results in 2003, led by
China and Australia," Wagoner said. "In 2003, China became the world's third-
largest market, and we expect sales to continue to grow this year. GM is well
positioned to participate in this growth through its joint ventures in China."
GM Latin America/Africa/Mid-East (GMLAAM) reported a loss of $112 million
in the fourth quarter of 2003, compared with a loss of $7 million in the year-
ago period. For all of 2003, GMLAAM reported a loss of $331 million, up from
a loss of $181 million in 2002. Results for 2003 in Latin America were
negatively affected by weak economic conditions and an asset write-down in
Brazil.
GMAC
GMAC reported record fourth-quarter income of $630 million in 2003, up 20
percent from the $524 million earned in the fourth quarter of 2002. All three
of GMAC's business units -- Financing, Insurance and Mortgage Operations --
reported improved results during the quarter.
For calendar year 2003, GMAC posted another record year with income of
$2.8 billion, compared with $1.9 billion in 2002. Earnings from financing
operations improved as lower credit provisions offset the negative impact of
narrower net-interest margins. Insurance operations benefited from higher
underwriting income and a reduction in capital losses related to its
investment portfolio. Income from mortgage operations more than doubled,
reflecting record originations in both the residential and commercial mortgage
sectors.
"GMAC had an outstanding year in 2003," Wagoner said. "In addition to
delivering its ninth-straight year of earnings growth, GMAC also did a
terrific job of diversifying its funding sources and supporting GM's auto
sales around the globe."
PROFIT SHARING
General Motors also announced that its approximately 125,000 hourly
employees in the United States will receive a profit-sharing payment in 2004.
A typical U.S. hourly employee, eligible under the profit-sharing program,
would qualify for a payment of approximately $170.
LOOKING AHEAD
GM expects global auto-industry sales to rise about 3 percent in 2004 to a
record 60 million vehicles. In the United States, GM expects total U.S.
industry vehicle sales of approximately 17.3 million. GM expects robust
industry growth in Asia Pacific with moderate growth in Europe and the LAAM
region.
GM expects to generate $5 billion in operating cash in 2004. In addition,
GM estimates that earnings in the first quarter of 2004 will be approximately
$1.75 per share, excluding any special items and at current dilution levels.
For the 2004 calendar year, GM's earnings target is $6.00 to $6.50 per share,
excluding any special items and at current dilution levels. (The dilution
calculation may be affected by the Series C Convertible Senior Debentures
issued by GM in July of 2003 and due in 2033.)
In this press release and related comments by General Motors management,
our use of the words "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project,"
"forecast," "outlook," "target," "objective," "plan," "goal," "pursue" and
similar expressions is intended to identify forward looking statements. While
these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold,
and we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ
materially due to numerous important factors that are described in GM's most
recent report on SEC Form 10-K (at page II-18) which may be revised or
supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors
include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions; currency
exchange rates or political stability; shortages of fuel, labor strikes or
work stoppages; market acceptance of the corporation's new products;
significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws,
regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve
reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies
and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management.
