Additionally, the revenue projected is $44. 59 billion, which is a slight 1% increase from the previous year's $44. 13 billion.

In the third quarter of 2023, GM had reported a net income of $3. 06 billion, translating to $2. 20 per share. Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were $3. 56 billion, or $2. 28 per share.
