ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On October 18, 2001, a news release was issued on the subject of third
quarter consolidated earnings for General Motors Corporation (GM). The news
release did not include certain financial statements, related footnotes and
certain other financial information that will be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as part of GM's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following
is the third quarter earnings release for GM, and their subsidiary Hughes
Electronics Corporation's (Hughes) earnings release dated October 17, 2001.
- GM EARNS $385 MILLION, OR $0.85 PER SHARE,
IN THIRD QUARTER, EXCLUDING SPECIAL ITEMS
- U.S. MARKET SHARE IMPROVES
- GMAC SETS THIRD-QUARTER EARNINGS RECORD
DETROIT -- General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM) today reported that it earned
$385 million, or $0.85 diluted earnings per share, in the third quarter of 2001
-- excluding special items -- on revenues of $42.5 billion. GM's global
automotive and financing operations earned a total of $527 million during the
period, which was partially offset by a loss of $142 million at Hughes. These
earnings are in line with the most recent guidance provided by GM, but down
compared with the prior-year period.
The third-quarter-2001 results exclude one-time charges totaling $753
million, or $1.26 per share, related to the previously announced closing of an
assembly plant in Canada, and various special items at Hughes, including the
resolution of a dispute with Raytheon Company relating to the 1997 spin-off and
merger of Hughes Defense (see Highlights). GM had a loss of $368 million, or
$0.41 per share, in the quarter including the charges. GM financial results
described throughout the remainder of this release exclude these charges unless
otherwise noted. The third-quarter results compare with earnings of $829
million, or $1.55 per share, on revenue of $42.7 billion, in the third quarter
of 2000.
"Overall, GM's Automotive Operations faced significant challenges during
the quarter but still delivered $212 million in net income," said GM Chairman
Jack Smith. "While North American profits were stronger than expected, Europe
remained in a significant loss position." Asia Pacific was profitable while
Latin America/Africa/Mid-East posted a small loss.
"General Motors Acceptance Corp. (GMAC) delivered record third-quarter
earnings, driven by the continued strong performance of its core auto financing
operations," Smith said.
"GM North America finished the quarter with particularly strong vehicle
sales," said GM President and Chief Executive Officer Rick Wagoner. "U.S. market
share was up in the third quarter, driven by strong sales of our full-size
trucks, utilities, and new entries such as the Chevrolet Avalanche and Buick
Rendezvous, as well as strong and effective merchandising. This is a great base
that we plan to build on going forward.
"In a very challenging environment, GM North America continued to deliver
solid cost improvements," Wagoner said. "With our ongoing improvement in
manufacturing and engineering productivity, plus continued reductions in
material costs, we were able to offset partially the tough pricing pressures and
the drop in overall vehicle demand. But we know we can do more to improve our
cost position."
Wagoner said, "GM Europe (GME) is implementing a major turnaround plan
designed to restore profitability. The plan, called Project Olympia, focuses on
improving revenue in a number of areas, especially through the introduction of a
broad range of new innovative Opel products, while taking aggressive actions to
reduce costs in all areas of the business."
Cash and net liquidity held steady during the third quarter. Cash,
marketable securities, and assets of the Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary
Association (VEBA) trust invested in short-term fixed-income securities,
excluding Hughes, totaled $11.0 billion at Sept. 30, 2001, compared with $11.1
billion at June 30, 2001.
- 2 -
GMAC
GMAC achieved record third-quarter earnings of $437 million, a $36 million
or 9-percent improvement over the third quarter of 2000. GMAC's results were
driven by the continued strong performance of its core auto financing
operations. Financing operations benefited from higher asset levels and lower
interest rates, which more than offset continuing weakness in off-lease residual
values and higher credit losses.
Income from insurance operations was down slightly in the third quarter of
2001 as improved underwriting results were offset by lower capital gains,
reflecting general weakness in the equity markets. Mortgage operations continued
to post strong results, with origination volume in both residential and
commercial mortgage sectors growing at a record pace.
GM NORTH AMERICA
GMNA earned $445 million in the third quarter of 2001, excluding the charge
of $194 million for the previously announced September 2002 closing of its Ste.
Therese, Quebec, assembly plant. Including that special item, GMNA earned $251
million. The $445 million earnings performance compares with $728 million earned
in the third quarter of 2000, when industry demand was at near-record levels.
Continued cost improvements and a favorable mix of products were offset by
lower volume and unfavorable pricing. Third-quarter-2001 production fell 6
percent, wholesale vehicle sales declined about 7 percent, and net vehicle
pricing was unfavorable compared with the prior-year period.
GM's share of the U.S. truck market increased 2.9 percentage points to 28.6
percent during the third quarter of 2001, compared with the same period last
year. GM captured 27.7 percent of the total U.S. vehicle market in the third
quarter, compared with 27.4 percent in the prior-year period.
GM sold more full-size pickups than any industry competitor during the
first nine months of 2001. Combined sales of the Chevy Silverado, Avalanche, and
the GMC Sierra increased more than 10 percent compared with the same period last
year. GM's full-size utility sales continued at a record pace for the first nine
months, outselling the nearest competitor by more than 196,000 units. GM's
overall lineup of utilities gained 1.5 percentage points of market share during
the first nine months of 2001.
The GMC Envoy was named Motor Trend's 2002 sport utility vehicle (SUV) of
the year last week, a prestigious award for a solid new product in an important
segment. In addition, four GM vehicles captured top rankings in the J.D. Power
and Associates 2001 Automotive Performance, Execution And Layout (APEAL) Study.
GM had the highest number of top-ranked models among the big three that
consumers consider to be "most appealing." Pontiac Aztek, Chevy TrailBlazer,
Cadillac Escalade and Chevrolet Corvette ranked best in the highly competitive
entry, midsize, luxury SUV, and premium sports car segments, respectively.
OTHER AUTOMOTIVE REGIONS
Tough price competition and unfavorable product mix and country mix were
key factors in GME's loss of $287 million in the third quarter of 2001. That
compares with a loss of $181 million in the third quarter last year.
GM Asia Pacific (GMAP) had net income of $60 million in the third quarter
of 2001, a significant improvement from the loss of $10 million in the third
quarter of 2000. The improvement primarily resulted from stronger performance by
GM's Thailand operations and GM's joint venture in Shanghai, China.
GM's Latin America/Africa/Mid-East (GMLAAM) region incurred a loss of $6
million in the third quarter of 2001, compared with net income of $31 million in
the same period last year. The region's economy was affected by financial
turmoil in Argentina and weakening in Brazil, the primary automotive market.

HUGHES
Hughes' loss of $142 million in the third quarter of 2001, excluding
special items, was primarily related to the costs of continued growth of
DIRECTV. Hughes lost $227 million during the period including special items.
Hughes had a loss of $88 million in the third quarter of 2000. Hughes added
approximately 491,000 net new DIRECTV subscribers in the third quarter, bringing
the total subscriber base to 11.8 million.
LOOKING AHEAD
"There is considerable uncertainty regarding the strength of the key
automotive markets during the balance of the year and in 2002," Wagoner said.
"We're buckling down to enhance our cost position while remaining very
aggressive in our effort to maximize revenue and grow market share."
GM currently estimates that in the fourth quarter of 2001 total industry
sales in the United States will be down approximately 6 percent compared with
the prior-year period, bringing industry sales for the calendar year to
approximately 16.8 million units. Total industry sales in Western and Central
Europe are expected to be down approximately 5 percent in the fourth quarter,
compared with the fourth quarter of 2000. Net vehicle prices in North America
are expected to be down approximately 1.3 percent for the fourth quarter and
calendar-year 2001, compared with the prior-year periods. The change in
2001-calendar-year net price to negative 1.3 percent versus prior guidance of
negative 1.0 percent is attributable primarily to downward pressure on auction
prices for used cars due to daily rental fleet reductions. The negative pricing
trend also is expected to continue in Europe.
GM's fourth-quarter production schedule for North America remains at
approximately 1,270,000 vehicles, a 7 percent reduction from the same quarter
last year. Based on this, fourth-quarter earnings are now expected to be
approximately $0.50 per share.
For calendar year 2002, GM's preliminary outlook is for total U.S. vehicle
sales in the low- to mid-15-million-unit range. Industry sales in the Western
and Central European market are likely to be down about 3 percent and in the
low-17-million-unit range.

In this press release and related comments by General Motors management, our
use of the words "outlook," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast,"
"objective," "plan," "designed," "goal" and similar expressions is intended to
identify forward looking statements. While these statements represent our
current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are
reasonable, actual results may differ materially due to numerous important
factors that are described in GM's most recent report on SEC Form 10-K (at page
II-10,11) which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC
Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: changes
in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability;
shortages of fuel, labor strikes or work stoppages; market acceptance of the
corporation's new products; significant changes in the competitive environment;
changes in laws, regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation
to achieve reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production
efficiencies and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by
management.

Hughes Reports Third Quarter 2001 Financial Results
HUGHES Revenue Grows by 25%;
Strong DIRECTV U.S. Subscriber Growth Beats Expectations
El Segundo, Calif., October 17, 2001 -- Hughes Electronics Corporation,
the world's leading provider of digital television entertainment, broadband
services, satellite-based private business networks, and global video and data
broadcasting, today reported third quarter 2001 revenues increased 24.6% to
$2,103.3 million, compared with $1,688.5 million in the third quarter of 2000.
EBITDA1 for the quarter was $76.5 million. Excluding a one-time charge primarily
related to severance of $65.3 million, EBITDA for the quarter was $141.8 million
and EBITDA margin1 was 6.7%. In the third quarter of 2000, EBITDA was $107.9
million and EBITDA margin was 6.4%.
"The third quarter was very important for HUGHES because we made key
structural and management changes across the businesses. As a result, we are now
positioned to generate substantially improved operating results," said Jack A.
Shaw, HUGHES' chief executive officer. "I'm particularly pleased with our third
quarter financial results because, despite a slowing economy, we grew our
revenues by about 25%, exceeded DIRECTV U.S. subscriber growth expectations by
adding 425,000 net new subscribers, and met or exceeded our third quarter
operational targets in each of our businesses."
Shaw continued, "Our revenue growth was again driven by strong demand for
DIRECTV(R) services, as well as new satellite transponder sales at PanAmSat and
increased sales in all of Hughes Network Systems' product lines."
Shaw also noted that the $65 million severance charge was related to a 10%
company-wide workforce reduction in the U.S. that is expected to result in
savings of over $110 million annually. Excluding this one-time charge, HUGHES'
EBITDA increased 31%, primarily due to continued operational improvements in
DIRECTV Latin America, the new satellite transponder sales at PanAmSat and lower
corporate expenses. These improvements were partially offset by losses from the
new DIRECTV DSL(TM) service (formerly known as Telocity) and increased
investment in Hughes Network Systems' (HNS) DIRECWAY(TM) broadband business.
HUGHES had a third quarter 2001 net loss of $227.2 million compared to a
net loss of $93.8 million in the same period of 2000. The increased loss was
primarily due to a pre-tax non-cash charge of $212 million resulting from the
revaluation of HUGHES' SkyPerfecTV! investment, increased depreciation and
amortization expense in the Direct-To-Home Broadcast segment and at PanAmSat,
and the lower EBITDA. These declines were partially offset by a pre-tax gain of
about $108 million that resulted from the sale of 4.1 million shares of Thomson
Multimedia common stock, and a favorable adjustment to the expected costs
associated with the shutdown of the DIRECTV Japan business.
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, HUGHES reached a settlement
with the Raytheon Company on a purchase price adjustment related to Raytheon's
1997 merger with Hughes Defense. Under the terms of the agreement, HUGHES will
reimburse Raytheon $635.5 million of the original $9.5 billion purchase price.
Of the total payment to Raytheon, $500 million was paid on October 16, 2001 and
the remaining balance will be paid within six months. There is no impact to
HUGHES' earnings from this settlement.

NINE-MONTH FINANCIAL REVIEW
For the first nine months of 2001, revenues increased 14.4% to $5,981.4
million, compared to $5,228.6 million for the same period in 2000. This increase
was primarily due to continued subscriber growth at DIRECTV in the United States
and Latin America, partially offset by fewer sales and sales-type leases at
PanAmSat.
EBITDA through September 2001 was $271.7 million and EBITDA margin was
4.5%, compared to EBITDA of $440.2 million and EBITDA margin of 8.4% in the same
period of 2000. The decrease in EBITDA and EBITDA margin was primarily
attributable to the higher outright sales of satellite transponders at PanAmSat
in the first nine months of 2000, as well as the 2001 one-time severance
charges, increased investment in DIRECWAY and the losses from the new DIRECTV
DSL service. These items were partially offset by improved DIRECTV operating
performance due to the larger subscriber bases in the United States and Latin
America and lower corporate expenses.
For the first nine months of 2001, net losses totaled $489.0 million
compared to net losses of $244.8 million in 2000. The change was primarily due
to an increase in depreciation and amortization expense in the Direct-To-Home
Broadcast segment and at PanAmSat, as well as the lower EBITDA. These declines
were partially offset by reduced losses related to HUGHES' Direct-To-Home
television ventures in Japan, as well as the gain from the sale of Thomson
Multimedia common stock and improved net interest expense.
SEGMENT FINANCIAL REVIEW: THIRD QUARTER 2001
Direct-To-Home Broadcast
Third quarter 2001 revenues for the segment increased 21.8% to $1,572.6
million from $1,291.5 million in the third quarter of 2000. The segment had
negative EBITDA of $74.2 million compared with negative EBITDA of $17.7 million
in the third quarter of 2000.
United States: DIRECTV reported quarterly revenues of $1,363 million, an
increase of 18% from last year's third quarter revenues of $1,154 million. The
increase was primarily due to continued subscriber growth.
DIRECTV substantially exceeded expectations by adding a record 953,000
gross subscribers and, after accounting for churn, 425,000 net subscribers in
the quarter. In addition, DIRECTV made a one-time downward adjustment of
approximately 143,000 subscribers. This adjustment corrected errors that
accumulated over the past 18 months related to subscribers who discontinued
service prior to June 30, 2001 but were counted as active subscribers in
DIRECTV's database. As a result, DIRECTV had 10.3 million subscribers as of
September 30, 2001, representing a 14% increase over the 9.0 million customers
attained as of September 30, 2000.
Excluding a $48 million one-time charge primarily related to severance,
EBITDA for the third quarter of 2001 was $20 million, compared to EBITDA of $36
million in last year's third quarter. EBITDA declined due to increased marketing
expenses related to DIRECTV's record number of gross subscriber additions in the
quarter, which more than offset the additional gross profit gained from
DIRECTV's larger subscriber base.
DIRECTV DSL: The DIRECTV DSL service was created following HUGHES' April
2001 acquisition of Telocity. No comparative financial data for DIRECTV DSL is
provided for the third quarter 2000.
The DIRECTV DSL service had third quarter 2001 revenues of $9 million and
negative EBITDA of $33 million. Approximately 5,000 net customers were added to
the DIRECTV DSL service in the quarter. Subscriber additions in the quarter were
negatively impacted by the bankruptcy of Rhythms NetConnections, formerly a
wholesale provider of broadband services. As of September 30, 2001, DIRECTV DSL
had about 73,000 residential broadband customers in the United States compared
to about 23,000 customers as of September 30, 2000.
- 17 -
Latin America: DIRECTV Latin America generated $201 million in revenues
for the quarter compared with $136 million in the third quarter of 2000. This
48% increase was primarily due to continued subscriber growth as well as the
consolidation of the Argentinean and Colombian local operating companies in the
first half of 2001.
The DIRECTV service in Latin America added 66,000 net subscribers in the
third quarter of 2001. The total number of DIRECTV subscribers in Latin America
as of September 30, 2001 was approximately 1,497,000 compared to about 1,136,000
as of September 30, 2000, representing an increase of approximately 32%.
Excluding a $10 million one-time severance charge, DIRECTV Latin America
had negative EBITDA of $7 million in the quarter, compared to negative EBITDA of
$50 million in the same period of 2000. The change was primarily due to the
increased gross profit generated from the larger subscriber base, the
consolidation of the Argentinean and Colombian local operating companies, and
reduced marketing and administrative costs.
Satellite Services
PanAmSat, which is 81%-owned by HUGHES, generated third quarter 2001
revenues of $252.9 million compared with $199.3 million in the prior year's
period. The increase was principally driven by a $46 million sales-type lease of
long-term capacity on the company's new PAS-10 Indian Ocean region satellite.
Excluding a $7 million one-time severance charge, EBITDA for the quarter
was $173 million and EBITDA margin was 68.5%, compared with third quarter 2000
EBITDA of $135.5 million and EBITDA margin of 68.0%. The increase in EBITDA was
principally due to the sales-type lease in the quarter.
As of September 30, 2001, PanAmSat had contracts for satellite services
representing future payments (backlog) of approximately $5.85 billion compared
to approximately $5.8 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2000.
Network Systems
Hughes Network Systems (HNS) generated third quarter 2001 revenues of
$339.7 million versus $284.0 million in the third quarter of 2000. The 19.6%
increase was driven by increased sales of phones and systems for mobile
satellite programs, higher sales of enterprise networks and growth in the
DIRECWAY subscriber base. HNS added approximately 13,000 net DIRECWAY broadband
customers in the quarter, bringing the cumulative total to approximately 87,000
subscribers in the United States. Additionally, HNS shipped 500,000 DIRECTV
receiver systems in the third quarter of 2001 compared to 470,000 units in the
same period last year.
In the quarter, HNS reported better than expected EBITDA of negative $22.6
million compared to EBITDA of $16.8 million in the third quarter of 2000. The
decline in EBITDA is primarily attributable to increased investment in the
DIRECWAY broadband business and a one-time gain in the third quarter of 2000
that resulted from successful negotiations with certain narrowband wireless
customers for receivables previously written-off.
BALANCE SHEET
From December 31, 2000 to September 30, 2001, the company's consolidated
cash balance decreased $809.6 million to $698.5 million and total debt increased
$496.7 million to $1,813.3 million. The major uses of cash were for satellite
and capital expenditures, as well as for the purchase of Telocity. The $635.5
million settlement with Raytheon was treated as an increase in accrued
liabilities and a reduction in stockholder's equity in the quarter. The impact
of the $500 million payment made on October 16, 2001 will be reflected in
HUGHES' fourth quarter cash balance.
