Gasgoo Munich- General Motors released its full-year 2025 financial results in Detroit today, according to a January 27 report by Gasgoo.
The company reported full-year net revenue of $185 billion and net income of $2.7 billion. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) came in at $12.7 billion, while adjusted automotive free cash flow reached $10.6 billion. Adjusted diluted earnings per share stood at $10.6.
Commenting on the performance, GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra pointed to the company's enduring brand strength, product portfolio, and technology-driven services. Backed by disciplined operational management, these factors have consistently generated robust cash flow. Barra emphasized that this sustainable model allows GM to keep investing in its business and talent, maintain a healthy balance sheet, and return value to shareholders.
In the U.S. market, GM retained its lead in total sales for 2025. All four of its brands posted gains in both volume and market share, with Cadillac delivering its best sales performance in nearly a decade.
Core business segments remained resilient. Full-size pickups, led by the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, secured the segment title for the sixth consecutive year, while full-size SUVs have maintained their sales lead for 51 years running. On the electrification front, GM ranked second in the U.S. for annual EV sales. Cadillac, bolstered by a luxury electric lineup featuring the VISTIQ and LYRIQ, solidified its competitive edge in the sector. The company's next-generation vehicle intelligence architecture is slated for launch in 2028.

In China, GM has turned a profit for five consecutive quarters, signaling a solid business recovery. By implementing disciplined production and inventory management alongside a product strategy tailored to market demand, the company has laid the groundwork for long-term profitability in the region.
During 2025, GM achieved year-on-year growth in both retail sales and market share in China. New-energy vehicle sales approached 1 million units, accounting for more than half of total volume, with both sales figures and penetration rates reaching record highs. Executing a strategy that advances internal combustion and electric powertrains in parallel, GM now boasts the most diverse new-energy portfolio among international automakers.
Local innovation and partnerships are accelerating. The first SUV model from Buick's premium new-energy sub-brand, Electra, dubbed the E7, will launch in the first quarter of this year. Built on the locally developed "Xiaoyao" Super Fusion Architecture, the vehicle features the "Xiaoyao Smart Driving" advanced driver-assistance system, jointly developed by Buick and Momenta.
Under the company's roadmap, every new product GM launches in China starting in 2026 will offer a new-energy variant.
Looking ahead to 2026, GM offered a positive outlook. Net income is projected to land between $10.3 billion and $11.7 billion, while adjusted EBIT is expected to range from $13 billion to $15 billion. Adjusted diluted earnings per share are forecast between $11 and $13, with adjusted automotive free cash flow anticipated at $9 billion to $11 billion.
