In order to improve gezegde

 In order to improve financial results in 2006 and 2007, we are moving quickly to implement several important actions that will address these weaknesses in North America. And we have a good line of sight on the steps we need to take to further reduce structural costs on a global basis that will position GM for long-term success.

 While it is still early in the quarter, May was softer than expected and we are now addressing what is clearly becoming a global slowdown, ... We are taking additional steps to generate revenues and reduce costs while continuing to implement our long-term growth strategy.
  Carly Fiorina

 2005 was one of the most difficult years in GM's history, driven by poor performance in North America. Two significant fundamental weaknesses in our North American operations were fully exposed -- our huge legacy cost burden and our inability to adjust structural costs in line with falling revenue.

 That being said, we are not satisfied with our recent performance and have responded by taking decisive actions to improve our results. We are implementing a comprehensive set of initiatives to drive revenues, maximize margin opportunities, further improve our operating efficiencies, cut costs and increase asset utilization. We expect this plan will help offset the continued revenue softness we are seeing and expect to continue to see in the near-term, and will contribute to the long-term success of the Company, which is our goal for stockholders, partners and associates alike.

 Third-quarter results were in line with those the company indicated in its recent announcement. As we announced, several market factors, including margin pressures on OEMs and the Asian economic situation, are continuing to affect our financial performance. This has led us to take a number of steps to reduce and control costs and better position the company for the future.

 We remain concerned about the company's long-term outlook and management's preparedness to address the challenges. Still, built-in expectations or valuation appear to be low, and 2006 should benefit from the structural elimination of Brazil and a year of disappointing results in 2005.

 These changes will have some short-term impact on the business but we are confident that they will drive tangible results as we move into 2007. While 2006 is a transition year, we remain focused on our long-term objectives, which are to fundamentally change our business, enhance profitability and attain the financial goals we set out for ourselves by 2008.

While 2006 is a transition year, we remain focused on our long-term objectives, which are to fundamentally change our business, enhance profitability and attain the financial goals we set out for ourselves by 2008.

 We are confronting a dramatic change in our industry and in the global competitive environment, and that requires us to look for additional ways to reduce financial risk and improve our competitiveness for the long term.

 It was a year in which two significant fundamental weaknesses in our North American operations were fully exposed - our huge legacy cost burden and our inability to adjust structural costs in line with revenue.

 Although we believe GM can reduce capacity and structural costs over the long term, the company will emerge from restructuring with lower earnings power and operating leverage. With a lower dividend, the costs of investing in this longer-term restructuring story have increased dramatically.

 These financial results position AGL to deliver on the improved dividend payment outlook for 2006 and 2007.

 Remember to dream big, think long-term, underacheive on a daily basis, and take baby steps. That is the key to long-term success.

 At a company like Dell, it's a strategic variable. Their strategy is to have the best product at the best price. But in order to have this, the supply chain must be competitive. Everybody [at Dell] is trying to reduce costs, increase flexibility, reduce inventory and get their cash more quickly. All of these drive financial performance.

 We were surprised that GM said that it does not plan to reduce permanently assembly capacity in North America to reflect the Olds phase-out. GM's restructuring, especially its discontinuance of the Olds brand, is undeniably a step in the right direction. However, the costs of these actions are much more visible than their ongoing benefits right now. We anxiously await follow-up actions.
