The company's adjusted automotive free cash flow fell 28% year over year to $4.2 billion in Q3 2025. Additionally, General Motors' operating cash flow decreased 22.8% year over year to $6.07 billion in Q3 2025. The company also took a $6 billion charge related to unwinding some electric vehicle investments, indicating a significant financial impact from its strategic shifts. In terms of sales, General Motors reported total U.S. sales of 703,001 vehicles in Q4 2025, reflecting a 6.9% year-over-year drop in U.S. auto deliveries, primarily due to weaker demand for electric vehicles, which saw a sharp decline of 43% in Q4 2025 after the expiration of the federal tax credit for EV buyers. Despite these challenges, General Motors reported full-year 2025 revenue of approximately $185 billion, a slight decline of 1.3% from the previous year, and achieved a net income attributable to stockholders of $2.7 billion, although this was down 55.1% from 2024. The company also noted a 6% increase in full-year U.S. auto sales, totaling 2.8 million vehicles, despite a weak fourth quarter driven by lower EV demand.
