ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On April 16, 2002, a news release was issued on the subject of first
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 first quarter earnings release for GM, and their subsidiary Hughes
Electronics Corporation's (Hughes) earnings release dated April 15, 2002.
GENERAL MOTORS EARNS $791 MILLION, OR $1.39 PER SHARE IN THE
FIRST QUARTER, EXCLUDING SPECIAL ITEMS AND HUGHES
- REPORTED NET INCOME TOTALS $228 MILLION, OR $0.57 PER SHARE
- STRONG CASH FLOW AND NET LIQUIDITY IMPROVEMENTS
- $5.00 EARNINGS PER SHARE EXPECTED FOR 2002, EXCLUDING HUGHES
AND SPECIAL ITEMS
DETROIT -- Strong vehicle sales and improved product mix in North America
and a continued focus on cost reduction were key drivers of improved earnings
and robust cash generation for General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM, GMH) in the first
quarter of 2002. GM today reported that it earned $791 million, or $1.39 diluted
earnings per share of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock, on revenue of $44.3
billion in the first quarter, excluding special items and Hughes. That compares
with $321 million, or $0.57 per share, on revenue of $40.7 billion in the first
quarter of 2001, also excluding special items and Hughes.
Including special items and Hughes, GM's first-quarter 2002 reported net
income totaled $228 million, or $0.57 per share on revenue of $46.3 billion.
First-quarter-2002 results included a restructuring charge of $407 million
after-tax, or $0.72 per share, related to improving the competitiveness of GM's
automotive operations in Europe. In addition, there were three special items at
Hughes that had a total net unfavorable effect of $10 million after taxes. GM's
results in the first quarter compare with $237 million, or $0.53 per share, on
revenue of $42.6 billion in the first quarter of 2001. The first-quarter-2001
results included the $12 million, or $0.03 per share, favorable effect of the
initial adoption of an accounting change (SFAS No. 133) relating to the
treatment of derivatives.
Hughes had a net loss of $156 million in the first quarter of 2002, or
$0.10 per share of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock, including the
above-mentioned special items.
GM financial results described throughout the remainder of this release
exclude special items unless otherwise noted (see Highlights).
"We are encouraged by the first-quarter performance at GM North America
and GMAC," said GM Chairman Jack Smith. "We continue to focus on great products
and improving our competitiveness. Momentum is on our side and we plan to build
on our success."
"Strong vehicle sales in North America coupled with cost reductions drove
our profit improvements," said Rick Wagoner, president and chief executive
officer. "The quality of our market share keeps improving with a richer mix of
more-profitable vehicles and a higher percentage of retail sales."

Strong automotive cash generation contributed to a significant improvement
in GM's cash position and net liquidity. Cash, marketable securities, and assets
of the Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust invested in
short-term fixed-income securities, excluding Hughes, totaled $17.3 billion at
March 31, 2002, compared with $11.5 billion at Dec. 31, 2001. The increase is
primarily attributable to the approximately $3.7 billion in proceeds from the
recent convertible bond issuance and cash generation from automotive operations.
Net liquidity, excluding Hughes, improved to $2.3 billion, an increase of $1.3
billion from year-end 2001, reflecting the cash flow from automotive operations.
As a result of the strong cash position, GM took action in early April to
further strengthen its balance sheet, making a $2.2 billion cash contribution to
its U.S. hourly pension plan.
GM AUTOMOTIVE OPERATIONS
GM's global automotive operations earned $467 million in the first quarter
of 2002, compared with $20 million in the prior-year period. Global production
increased approximately 3.7 percent in the first quarter, compared with the same
period in 2001. Strong performance in North America was partially offset by GM's
European operations, which have not yet realized full benefit from the current
restructuring.
"The competitive landscape continues to be very challenging in all
regions, but our improving results show that we are on the right course,"
Wagoner said. "We intend to continue our steady drumbeat of innovative new
products around the globe to build upon our momentum in the marketplace."
GM North America (GMNA) posted a substantial increase in income, earning
$625 million in the first quarter of 2002, compared with $120 million in the
first quarter of 2001. Production volume increased 11.4 percent, with trucks
growing to about 56 percent of total production, compared with about 52 percent
in the first quarter of 2001. GM's overall U.S. market share was relatively
stable at 28.3 percent in the quarter, however higher-profit retail sales
increased significantly. GM estimates that its retail vehicle share increased
about 1 percentage point, driven by a 4 percentage-point jump in truck retail
share.
GM Europe (GME) had a loss of $125 million in the first quarter of 2002,
excluding the restructuring charge, compared with a loss of $86 million in the
prior-year period. The increased loss at GME was primarily attributable to a 15
percent reduction in production volume, and was only partially offset by
reductions in material and structural costs. The restructuring charge of $407
million after taxes for the Project Olympia turnaround plan included employee
separations, asset write-downs, and streamlining the dealer network.
"The restructuring of our European operations, combined with our
aggressive new product programs, will strengthen our brands and improve the
efficiency of our operations and distribution system," Wagoner said. "We know we
must make significant progress in Europe, and we're working hard to make it
happen."
GM Asia-Pacific earned $7 million in the first quarter of 2002, compared
with a loss of $20 million in the first quarter last year. Increased equity
earnings from alliance partners and favorable mix were primary factors. GM Latin
America/Africa/Mid-East (GMLAAM) recorded a loss of $40 million in the first
quarter of 2002, compared with earnings of $6 million in the first quarter of
2001. Steady production volume and increased market share were more than offset
by the continuing effect of the Argentina currency devaluation, economic
pressures, and unfavorable product mix in Brazil.
- 3 -
GMAC
General Motors Acceptance Corporation (GMAC) earned $439 million in the
first quarter of 2002, up 2 percent from the prior-year period when earnings
totaled $431 million. These results reflect a significant increase in earnings
from mortgage operations, with continued strong origination volumes in both the
residential and commercial sectors.
Income from automotive financing operations declined due to higher credit
losses and unfavorable borrowing spreads, which were only partially offset by
strong retail asset growth in North America. Income from insurance operations
was down slightly in the quarter as lower capital gains more than offset
improved underwriting results.
HUGHES
Hughes lost $146 million in the first quarter of 2002, compared with a
loss of $96 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily because of the cost of
adding DIRECTV subscribers. Hughes revenues increased 6.5 percent to $2.0
billion. Total DIRECTV subscriptions increased approximately 374,000 from the
fourth quarter of 2001 to 12.2 million.
LOOKING AHEAD
As a result of stronger-than-expected U.S. industry sales in the first
quarter and improving economic indicators, General Motors is now forecasting
total U.S. industry vehicle sales to be approximately 16.5 million units in
2002. GM's U.S. dealer inventories remain lean at approximately 1 million units,
and second-quarter North American production is expected to increase
approximately 10 percent over the second quarter of 2001, to approximately 1.5
million units. Production for the calendar-year is expected to increase about 6
percent to more than 5.4 million units. For the second quarter of 2002, GM
estimates its earnings excluding Hughes, at $2.00 per share. Calendar-year-2002
earnings are now expected to be approximately $5.00 per share, compared with
prior guidance of $3.50 per share. Including Hughes, the targets are
approximately $1.90 per share for the second quarter, and $4.60 per share for
the calendar year.
"We're moving in the right direction," Wagoner said. "We know we have
major challenges, particularly in Europe, but we're aggressively taking actions
designed to win in the market and improve our financial performance."

In this press release and related comments by General Motors management,
our use of the words "outlook," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast,"
"project," "likely," "objective," "plan," "designed," "goal," "target," 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-15, 16) 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 or interruptions in transportation
systems, 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 FIRST QUARTER 2002 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Strong DIRECTV U.S. Performance for the Third Consecutive Quarter Drives Results
El Segundo, Calif., April 15, 2002 -- 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 first quarter 2002 revenues increased 7.7% to
$2,038.2 million, compared with $1,893.0 million in the first quarter of 2001.
EBITDA1 for the quarter was $134.2 million and EBITDA margin1 was 6.6%, compared
with the first quarter of 2001 EBITDA of $113.2 million and EBITDA margin of
6.0%.
"For three consecutive quarters, DIRECTV U.S. has exceeded subscriber
growth expectations while delivering on its commitment to improve the financial
returns on every subscriber we add to our service," said Jack A. Shaw, HUGHES'
president and chief executive officer. "Recognizing that we had a number of
unusual items in the quarter, both positive and negative, I am pleased that our
new strategies are paying off and are resulting in stronger operational
performance,"
Shaw added, "At the top line, due to its continued strong subscriber
growth, DIRECTV U.S. generated nearly $1.5 billion of revenue, representing an
11% growth rate over 2001. Even with our best-ever first quarter performance in
terms of gross subscriber additions, DIRECTV U.S. had strong EBITDA primarily
due to its continued aggressive cost-cutting and churn mitigation efforts.
PanAmSat also contributed to our strong EBITDA performance with an EBITDA margin
of 73%, its highest level since 1999."
Included in the first quarter of 2002 was a $95 million one-time EBITDA
gain based on the favorable resolution of a lawsuit filed against the U.S.
government on March 22, 1991. The lawsuit was based upon the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) breach of contract to launch ten
satellites on the Space Shuttle. Also impacting the quarter was a charge of $83
million to provide for losses associated with a contractual dispute with General
Electric Capital Corporation (see the Direct-To-Home Broadcast segment for more
details). Of this amount, $56 million was recorded against EBITDA, and the
remaining $27 million was recorded as interest expense. The $95 million gain and
the $56 million charge are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
in "Selling, general and administrative expenses." In addition, DIRECTV Latin
America recognized an EBITDA loss of approximately $32 million due to the
devaluation of the Argentinean peso.
HUGHES had a first quarter 2002 net loss of $156.4 million compared to a
net loss of $105.3 million in the same period of 2001. The higher EBITDA and the
elimination of approximately $62 million of goodwill amortization expense in
2002 as a result of adopting the new accounting rules for goodwill and
intangible assets, were more than offset by higher depreciation in the
Direct-To-Home segment and PanAmSat, increased net interest expense, the
discontinuation of the minority interest adjustment related to DIRECTV Latin
America, and a $29 million charge related to a loan guarantee for a Hughes
Network Systems' affiliate in India.
Shaw finished, "Beginning with this quarter's earnings release, we are
providing a summary of the most important DIRECTV U.S. financial metrics. This
reflects our ongoing efforts to increase the clarity and transparency of our
businesses for our shareholders, the media and financial community."
- 15 -
SEGMENT FINANCIAL REVIEW: FIRST QUARTER 2002
Direct-To-Home Broadcast
First quarter 2002 revenues for the segment increased 10.3% to $1,643.8
million from $1,489.9 million in the first quarter of 2001. The segment had
negative EBITDA of $62.6 million compared with EBITDA of $6.0 million in the
first quarter of 2001. Included in the segment's EBITDA is a charge of $56
million to provide for losses related to a contractual dispute with General
Electric Capital Corporation (GECC) associated with an agreement consummated in
July 1995 whereby GECC would establish and manage a credit program for consumers
who purchased DIRECTV(R) programming and related hardware. The following EBITDA
discussion excludes this $56 million charge.
United States: DIRECTV substantially exceeded subscriber growth
expectations by adding 849,000 gross subscribers and, after accounting for
churn, 342,000 net subscribers in the quarter. Excluding those markets in the
National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC) territories, DIRECTV's
owned and operated net subscriber additions in the quarter were 350,000.
Beginning with the first quarter of 2002, DIRECTV no longer includes
pending subscribers in its cumulative subscriber base. Pending subscribers are
customers who have purchased equipment and have had all of the required customer
information entered into DIRECTV's billing system, but have not yet activated
service. This new policy reflects a more simplified and conservative approach to
counting customers and is consistent with the rest of the multi-channel
television industry. As a result, DIRECTV reduced its cumulative subscriber base
by approximately 360,000 subscribers that had been previously identified as
pending subscribers. This change has no impact on DIRECTV's past or future
revenues, EBITDA or cash flow.
DIRECTV reported quarterly revenues of $1,466 million, an increase of 11%
from last year's first quarter revenues of $1,324 million. The increase was
primarily due to continued strong subscriber growth which more than offset
reduced average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) related to lower pay-per-view,
event and premium programming purchases.
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2002 was $85 million compared to EBITDA of
$50 million in last year's first quarter. This increase was due to the
additional gross profit gained from DIRECTV's increased revenue, partially
offset by higher subscriber marketing costs due to the record gross subscriber
additions in the quarter.
Please refer to the "DIRECTV U.S. Financial Highlights" attachment for
additional information on DIRECTV's subscribers and other important financial
metrics.
DIRECTV DSL: The DIRECTV DSLTM service was created following HUGHES' April
2001 acquisition of Telocity. As a result, no comparative financial data for
DIRECTV DSL is included for the first quarter of 2001.
In the first quarter of 2002, the DIRECTV DSL service added approximately
22,000 net customers. As of March 31, 2002, DIRECTV DSL had about 113,000
residential broadband customers in the United States compared to about 64,000
customers as of March 31, 2001, representing an increase of approximately 77%.
- 16 -
The DIRECTV DSL service had first quarter 2002 revenues of $14 million and
negative EBITDA of $30 million.
Latin America: The DIRECTV service in Latin America added 32,000 net
subscribers in the first quarter of 2002. The total number of DIRECTV
subscribers in Latin America as of March 31, 2002, was approximately 1,642,000
compared to about 1,406,000 as of March 31, 2001, representing an increase of
approximately 17%.
Revenue for DIRECTV Latin America was unchanged at $165 million for the
quarter compared with the first quarter of 2001 because the increased revenue
generated from the larger subscriber base and the consolidation of the
Argentinean local operating company was offset by the devaluation of the
Argentinean and Brazilian currencies.
DIRECTV Latin America had negative EBITDA of $61 million in the quarter
compared to negative EBITDA of $44 million in the same period of 2001. The
decline in EBITDA was primarily due to a $32 million loss related to the
devaluation of the Argentinean peso.
Satellite Services
PanAmSat, which is 81%-owned by HUGHES, generated first quarter 2002
revenues of $207.1 million compared with $205.2 million in the same period of
the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a termination fee of
approximately $6 million associated with one of the company's video customers,
partially offset by reduced operating lease revenues.
EBITDA for the quarter was $151.1 million and EBITDA margin was 73.0%,
compared with first quarter 2001 EBITDA of $140.0 million and EBITDA margin of
68.2%. The increase in EBITDA and EBITDA margin was principally due to the
company's continued focus on operational efficiencies and several non-recurring
items that were recorded during the first quarter of 2002. These items included
gains of $40 million related to the settlement of the PAS-7 insurance claim and
$6 million for a termination fee. These gains were partially offset by losses of
$19 million on the conversion of several sales-type leases to operating leases
by one of the company's customers, an $11 million facilities restructuring
charge, and $10 million for additional bad debt expense and sales-type lease
reserves.
As of March 31, 2002, PanAmSat had contracts for satellite services
representing future payments (backlog) of over $5.7 billion compared to
approximately $5.8 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2001.
- 17 -
Network Systems
Hughes Network Systems (HNS) generated first quarter 2002 revenues of
$242.8 million versus $248.2 million in the first quarter of 2001. The decline
was due to lower sales in the Carrier businesses primarily related to the
substantial completion in late 2001 of the XM Satellite Radio and Thuraya
Satellite Telecommunications Company contracts, mostly offset by increased sales
of DIRECWAY(R) and DIRECTV(R) systems. HNS shipped 430,000 DIRECTV receiver
systems in the first quarter of 2002 compared to 252,000 units in the same
period last year. Additionally, HNS added approximately 10,000 net DIRECWAY
residential and small/home office broadband customers in the quarter. As of
March 31, 2002, DIRECWAY had approximately 111,000 subscribers in North America
compared to 62,000 one year ago, an increase of approximately 79%.
Excluding a $6 million charge in the first quarter of 2002 related to
headcount reductions, HNS reported negative EBITDA of $27.5 million compared to
negative EBITDA of $38.3 million in the first quarter of 2001. The improvement
in EBITDA is primarily attributable to higher operating margins on the increased
DIRECTV receiver shipments.
BALANCE SHEET
From December 31, 2001 to March 31, 2002, the company's consolidated cash
balance increased $413.7 million to $1,113.8 million and total debt increased
$740.1 million to $3,387.4 million. The major uses of cash were for satellite
and capital expenditures as well as the final purchase price adjustment payment
to the Raytheon Company of $134 million. Additionally, PanAmSat received
approximately $174 million from an insurance claim on the PAS-7 satellite.
In the quarter, HUGHES completed several financing transactions. PanAmSat
completed debt financing of $2.05 billion, and repaid $1.725 billion owed to
HUGHES. HUGHES used the proceeds from PanAmSat to repay all amounts outstanding
under the HUGHES and DIRECTV Latin American credit facilities. Additionally, the
HUGHES facility was amended and increased to $2.0 billion, consisting of a
$1.235 billion revolver, which is undrawn, and borrowings of $765 million under
a term loan. As a result of these transactions, HUGHES believes it has more than
sufficient available funding for its 2002 operating plan.
Hughes Electronics Corporation is a unit of General Motors Corporation.
