General Motors disclosed on Thursday that it was running through its cash reserves faster than ever as it barrels toward a June 1 deadline to cut debt and expenses or file for bankruptcy protection.
G.M. said it lost $6 billion in the first quarter as its sales around the world fell 40 percent and revenue was cut nearly in half.But the most concerning number is the $10.2 billion in cash that G.M. depleted in three months, the equivalent of $113 million a day. That is nearly twice the company’s rate of spending in the fourth quarter.
As of March 31, the company had $11.6 billion on hand, roughly the minimum level of liquidity that G.M. has said it needed to keep operating. Since then, the government has lent G.M. an additional $2 billion.
