Auto company General Motors ( GM ) also exceeded expectations on both the top- and bottom-lines, with North American profits rising 11% over last year. Adjusted automotive free cash flow was positive $2.5 billion in the quarter, more than reversing a loss of $100 million in the year-ago quarter. Sales and profit from China declined, however, and the company said it expects unit sales in the region to remain weak as an economic slowdown continues in the region. GM reiterated its full-year guidance to see adjusted EPS of between $6.50 and $7.00.
