Following U.S. Government policy changes in 2025, including the termination of certain consumer tax incentives for EV purchases and the reduction in the stringency of emissions regulations, industry-wide consumer demand for EVs in North America began to slow. As a result, in 2025, we reassessed our …

We believe the tariffs currently in place will have a $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion impact on our 2025 EBIT-adjusted results, but we cannot predict with complete precision the breadth of tariffs and related costs that will ultimately impact GM this year and beyond.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
