These words indicate future events and trends. Forward-looking statements are our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to many assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly from historical results or from those anticipated by us. The most significant risks are detailed from time to time in our filings and reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Such risks include - but are not limited to - GM’s ability to sell new vehicles that we finance in the markets we serve in North America, Latin America, China and Europe, particularly the United Kingdom where automobile sales may be negatively impacted due to the passage of the referendum to discontinue its membership in the European Union; the viability of GM-franchised dealers that are commercial loan customers; the availability and cost of sources of financing; the level of net charge-offs, delinquencies and prepayments on the loans and leases we originate; the effect, interpretation or application of new or existing laws, regulations, court decisions and accounting pronouncements; the prices at which used cars are sold in the wholesale auction markets; vehicle return rates and the residual value performance on vehicles we lease; interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; competition; our ability to manage risks related to security breaches and other disruptions to our networks and systems; changes in general economic and business conditions; and changes in business strategy, including expansion of product lines and credit risk appetite, acquisitions and divestitures. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual events or results may differ materially. It is advisable not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to, and do not, publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by federal securities laws, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
