BOSTON — July 25, 2023 — GE (NYSE:GE) announced results today for the second quarter ending June 30, 2023.

GE Chairman and CEO and GE Aerospace CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr. said, "GE's second-quarter performance was strong, building on our first-quarter momentum and marking a solid first half of the year. Orders and revenue grew double digits, led by robust services growth across our portfolio, increased demand at GE Aerospace and record Renewable Energy orders. Today, we are raising our full-year guidance as market strength and the lean transformation within our more focused businesses drive significant profit and cash improvement across GE.”

Culp continued, "GE Aerospace is growing rapidly, executing on the ramp for customers and building services strength, while GE Vernova advances toward its spin-off as Renewable Energy improves and Power continues to deliver. Each business has its own critical mission and focus. We’re increasingly operating as GE Aerospace and GE Vernova as we prepare to launch these two independent companies sometime in early 2024.”

The company continued to execute during the quarter:

•Delivered double-digit growth in orders, revenue, and operating profit year-over-year driven by commercial momentum and strength in services. Commercial Engines & Services improved LEAP output by 85% year-over-year and Commercial Services grew 31%. Defense orders more than doubled, and the team improved unit output by 74% year-over-year.

•Signed historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to produce fighter jet engines for the Indian Air Force.

GE Vernova1

•Achieved record Renewable Energy orders of $8.3 billion and double-digit revenue growth of 24% led by higher equipment across Onshore Wind, Offshore Wind, and Grid, while Power delivered solid services orders and profit growth driven by continued productivity and price.

•Announced the commercial operation of Caithness Energy’s 1,875-megawatt Guernsey Power Station to support grid stability and the coal-to-gas transition in Ohio.

We present both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with additional information. We believe that providing these non-GAAP financial measures along with GAAP measures allows for increased comparability of our ongoing performance from period to period. Please see pages 4-8 for explanations of why we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

(a- Includes gross additions to PP&E and internal-use software. Excludes Insurance CFOA, separation cash expenditures, and other items

(b- Excludes Insurance, non-operating benefit costs, gains (losses) on retained and sold ownership interests and other equity securities, restructuring & other charges, and other items

(c- Excludes Insurance, interest and other financial charges, non-operating benefit costs, gains (losses) on retained and sold ownership interests and other equity securities, restructuring & other charges, and other items, with EFS on a net earnings basis

In addition, GE:

•Monetized approximately 32% of its stake in GE HealthCare for total proceeds of $2.2 billion.

•Plans to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, for approximately $2.8 billion, on September 15, 2023, further simplifying GE's balance sheet and reducing financing costs.

•Repurchased approximately 3 million common shares for $0.3 billion in the quarter, with $1.4 billion remaining under the GE Board's prior authorization of common share repurchases of up to $3.0 billion.

•Incurred separation and related tax costs of $0.2 billion in the quarter, primarily related to separation and employee costs, costs to establish standalone functions and IT systems, professional fees, and other costs.

•Simplified legacy liabilities through actions to significantly reduce exposure to future losses at its run-off mortgage portfolio in Poland (Bank BPH), including approving adoption of a settlement program. In connection with these actions, GE recorded an additional charge in discontinued operations of $1.0 billion. No incremental cash contributions from GE to Bank BPH are required in connection with the charge.

•Recognized $0.2 billion of pre-tax charges, primarily related to Power, due to an expansion of U.S. sanctions related to the Russia and Ukraine conflict. GE's remaining net asset exposure to Russia is not material.

GE is raising 2023 guidance based on first-half performance and continued second-half strength, and now expects:

•Organic revenue* growth in the low-double-digit (LDD) range, up from the high-single-digit (HSD) range;

•Adjusted EPS* of $2.10 to $2.30, up from $1.70 to $2.00;

•Free cash flow* (FCF) of $4.1 to $4.6 billion, up from $3.6 to $4.2 billion.

In addition, GE is updating its business-specific guidance1 and now expects:

•GE Aerospace: High teens to 20% organic revenue* growth, up from mid-to-high teens; operating profit of $5.6 to $5.9 billion, up from $5.3 to $5.7 billion; and FCF* to be up year-over-year.

•GE Vernova: Mid-single-digit (MSD) organic revenue* growth, up from low-single-digit (LSD) to MSD; operating profit of $(0.4) to $(0.1) billion, up from $(0.6) to $(0.2) billion; and flat to slightly improved FCF*.

◦Renewable Energy: HSD organic revenue* growth, up from MSD; significantly better operating profit; and flat-to-improving FCF*.

◦Power: LSD organic revenue* growth; operating profit better year-over-year; and lower FCF*.

The following segment discussions and variance explanations are intended to reflect management’s view of the relevant comparisons of financial results.

Orders of $9.5 billion increased 37% on a reported and organic basis, with strength in both Commercial Services and Defense. Revenues of $7.9 billion grew 28% on a reported and organic* basis, with equipment growing at double the rate of services. Both LEAP and Defense engine deliveries grew in the quarter. Commercial Services grew with strong external spare part sales and higher internal shop visits. Segment margin of 18.8% expanded by 10 basis points on a reported basis and contracted (30) basis points organically*. Volume, pricing net of inflation, and productivity were offset by unfavorable mix, increased investments, and the non-repeat of positive contract margin adjustments last year.

Orders of $8.3 billion increased favorably on a reported and organic basis, led by higher equipment at Grid and Offshore Wind, as well as Onshore Wind in North America. Revenues of $3.8 billion increased 24% reported and 27% organically* driven by higher equipment deliveries across Wind and Grid businesses, with Offshore Wind revenues more than doubling year-over-year and up sequentially. Segment margin of (9.3)% improved by 420 basis points reported and 680 basis points organically*, from better price and productivity primarily at Onshore Wind and Grid, partially offset by pressure from Offshore Wind.

Orders of $4.3 billion grew 7% reported and organically with strength from transactional services at Gas Power. Revenues of $4.2 billion declined (1)% reported and (2)% organically*, as continued services growth and higher HA deliveries were primarily offset by lower aeroderivative shipments. Segment margin of 9.1% expanded 150 basis points reported and 120 basis points organically* driven by price, productivity, and higher contractual outage volume on heavy duty units more than offsetting inflation.

We believe that presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides management and investors useful measures to evaluate performance and trends of the total company and its businesses. This includes adjustments in recent periods to GAAP financial measures to increase period-to-period comparability following actions to strengthen our overall financial position and how we manage our business.

In addition, management recognizes that certain non-GAAP terms may be interpreted differently by other companies under different circumstances. In various sections of this report we have made reference to the following non-GAAP financial measures in describing our (1) revenues, specifically organic revenues by segment; organic revenues, (2) profit, specifically organic profit and profit margin by segment; Adjusted profit and profit margin; Adjusted organic profit and profit margin; Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS), (3) cash flows, specifically free cash flows (FCF), and (4) guidance, specifically 2023 Adjusted EPS and 2023 FCF.

The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow. Certain columns, rows or percentages within these reconciliations may not add or recalculate due to the use of rounded numbers. Totals and percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions.
