GM North America (GMNA): General Motors’ GM North America (GMNA) is a key operating segment of General Motors (GM) encompassing the company’s automotive operations in the North American region, primarily the United States and Canada.

GMNA is responsible for the design, production, and sales of GM vehicles in these markets. It includes popular brands such as Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, and Cadillac. GMNA is a significant revenue generator for GM and plays a crucial role in the company’s overall financial performance2.

GM International (GMI): GM International (GMI) is a key operating segment of General Motors (GM) encompassing the company’s automotive operations outside of North America. This includes regions such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, South America, and the Middle East.

GMI is responsible for the design, production, and sales of GM vehicles in these international markets. It includes popular brands such as Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and GMC. GMI plays a crucial role in GM’s global strategy, contributing to the company’s overall financial performance and market presence worldwide.

GM Financial: General Motors Financial Company, Inc., commonly known as GM Financial, is the wholly owned captive finance subsidiary of General Motors (GM). It was founded in 1992, originally as AmeriCredit Corporation, and was acquired by GM in October 2010. The company’s headquarters are located in Fort Worth, Texas, USA.

GM Financial provides a wide range of financial services to support GM’s automotive operations. These services include retail loan and lease programs, offering attractive financing and leasing options for customers purchasing GM vehicles.

In addition to consumer financing, GM Financial also offers commercial lending products, such as retail floorplan financing, construction loans, real estate loans, and insurance for car dealerships. This comprehensive suite of financial services is designed to facilitate the purchase and leasing process for both individual customers and dealerships.

Operating on a global scale, GM Financial has a presence in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. Notably, the company operates a joint venture in China, further extending its reach in the international market.

Although GM’s core European operations, Opel and Vauxhall, were sold to PSA Groupe and BNP Paribas in 2017, GM Financial continues to provide financial services in the region.

GM Financial plays a crucial role in supporting GM’s automotive sales by providing flexible financing solutions. This support helps GM maintain a competitive edge in the market by making it easier for customers to purchase or lease GM vehicles.

GM Financial’s success is largely dependent on building strong, lasting relationships with auto dealers and customers, ensuring best-in-class customer service and promoting open, honest communication at all levels.

Cruise: Cruise LLC is a subsidiary of General Motors (GM) focusing on developing autonomous vehicle technology. Founded in 2013 by Kyle Vogt and Dan Kan, Cruise was acquired by GM in 2016. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and has been a key player in GM’s efforts to advance self-driving car technology.

Cruise initially developed direct-to-consumer kits to retrofit vehicles with limited self-driving capabilities. Over time, the company shifted its focus to creating fully autonomous vehicles. Cruise’s technology has been integrated into GM’s Super Cruise system, which allows for hands-free driving on certain roads.

Despite facing challenges and suspending operations in 2023, Cruise resumed its activities in 2024. GM has since integrated Cruise’s technology into its advanced driver assistance systems for personal vehicles, continuing to work on both assisted-driving and autonomous driving technologies2.

Insight & Summary of GM’s Revenue Breakdown By Segment

The following analysis consolidates the trends observed across GM’s revenue breakdown by segment for the 2016–2025 period.

• GM North America is and remains the overwhelming engine of the company — but its structural dominance has deepened over the decade to a degree that creates meaningful concentration risk. GMNA revenue grew from $119.1B (2016) to $157.5B (2024) before easing to $154.3B (2025), with a 3-year average of $151.1B and 6.5% average growth. GMNA’s share of total revenue has expanded from 79.8% (2016) to 83.4% (2025) — a 360 basis point increase — driven partly by organic North American growth but more significantly by the accelerating contraction of GM International. Three-year average GMNA mix of 83.2% means that virtually every $5 of GM revenue comes from a single geography. This concentration, while reflecting genuine competitive strength in trucks and SUVs in the U.S. and Canada, leaves the enterprise vulnerable to North American-specific demand cycles, regulatory changes, and competitive disruption in a way that more geographically diversified peers are not.

• GM International’s decline is the most structurally consequential trend in the dataset. GMI revenue fell from $20.9B (2016) to $13.4B (2025) — a 35.9% absolute decline over nine years — with a 3-year average of just $14.4B and a -4.3% average growth rate. The decline has been continuous across almost every year: GMI fell in 2018, 2019, 2020, modestly recovered in 2021, and has declined again in 2024 (-12.9%) and 2025 (-3.3%). GMI’s revenue mix has compressed from 14.0% (2016) to 7.3% (2025) — barely over half of its 2016 share. The primary drivers are GM’s strategic withdrawal from multiple international markets: GM exited Australia and New Zealand (2017), India (2017), South Africa (2017), and substantially restructured its European operations through the Opel/Vauxhall sale to Stellantis. The remaining GMI business is concentrated in China joint ventures (through SAIC-GM) and South America — both of which face ongoing structural headwinds. China in particular has seen SAIC-GM lose substantial market share to domestic NEV brands including BYD, Li Auto, and Xpeng.

• GM Financial has evolved from a captive finance operation into a genuine profit and revenue contributor — and its 3-year average of $15.7B and 10.2% growth makes it the only international-adjacent segment showing consistent expansion. GMF revenue grew from $9.0B (2016) to $17.1B (2025) — a 90.1% increase over nine years — driven by the build-up of the consumer lending, lease, and dealer financing portfolio as GM expanded GMF’s scope from its 2010 re-entry into automotive finance following the GMAC divestiture. GMF’s revenue mix has grown from 6.0% (2016) to 9.2% (2025). The 11.4% and 11.6% growth in 2023–2024 respectively reflect both portfolio expansion and higher interest rate spreads on the consumer finance book — rising rates being a structural benefit for captive finance companies that can reprice new originations while holding fixed-rate legacy portfolios at higher spreads. The 2025 growth of 7.5% is the only segment showing positive growth in a year when GMNA and GMI both contracted.

• Cruise represents the most volatile — and, in 2025, most disappointingly resolved — segment in the dataset. Cruise revenue was effectively zero through 2021 ($100–106M per year, representing intercompany service fees rather than commercial operations), reached a development peak in 2024 when GM disclosed $257M in revenue, and then collapsed to $1M in 2025 following the decision to wind down Cruise’s robotaxi operations after the October 2023 pedestrian incident and subsequent investigation. The 152.0% growth rate in 2024 and -99.6% in 2025 tell the story of a segment that absorbed more than $10B in cumulative losses over its existence and exited without generating commercial scale. Cruise’s 3-year average of $120M and 17.5% average growth are statistical artefacts with no forward relevance — the segment is effectively closed.

• The total revenue trajectory — from $149.2B (2016) to a peak of $187.7B (2024) before declining to $185.0B (2025) — reflects the concentrated story of GMNA trucks and SUVs. Total revenue’s 3-year average of $181.6B and 5.8% average growth are entirely explained by GMNA performance. The FY2025 decline of -1.4% — the first total revenue contraction in the dataset since 2020 — is driven by both GMNA (-2.0%) and GMI (-3.3%) contracting simultaneously, partially offset by GMF (+7.5%). Given that GMNA’s decline was modest and from a record high base, the near-term revenue trajectory is dependent on whether North American truck and SUV demand remains resilient against rising competitive pressure, particularly in the EV truck segment from Ford (F-150 Lightning) and potentially incoming Chinese EV competition.

The table below combines all key General Motors’ segment revenue metrics into a single view for the latest three fiscal years.
