GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra said: “Our results also reflect strong demand for our products, including the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and our full-size Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac SUVs, which continued their market leadership despite low inventories.”
“We have been operating with lower volumes due to the semiconductor shortage for the past year, and we have delivered strong results despite those pressures,” she added.
GM expects 2022 full-year net income of between $9.6 billion and $11.2 billion, with adjusted earnings per share between $6.50 and $7.50.
“Our outlook for the second half is strong, and we are reaffirming our full-year earnings guidance that includes EBIT-adjusted of between $13 billion and $15 billion. This confidence comes from our expectation that GM global production and wholesale deliveries will be up sharply in the second half,” continued Barra.
