Key Comments:

1.After adjusting for one-time events relating to the timing of payments and new and amended license agreements entered into in 2021, fee income was higher in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily as a result of higher fee income from the automotive and aircraft segments. Fee income was also higher in the third quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of higher fee income from the automotive and aircraft segments.
  
2.This year Cadillac had multiple high-profile public exhibitions of its Cadillac Celestiq which enters series production next year and will be produced at the General Motors Tech Center in Warren Michigan. The Celestiq is Cadillac’s all-electric luxury flagship, and features a four-quadrant SPD-SmartGlass roof using Research Frontiers variable tint technology.
