BOSTON - January 24, 2023 - GE (NYSE:GE) announced results today for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2022. The results include the operations of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. ("GE HealthCare"), which successfully separated in a spin-off by distributing approximately 80.1 percent of shares to GE shareholders on January 3, 2023.
GE Chairman and CEO and GE Aerospace CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr. said, "2022 marked the beginning of a new era for GE. We successfully launched GE HealthCare, delivered strong financial performance, made significant operational progress, and continued our steadfast commitment to our customers. Thanks to the high-quality work of our team, GE ended the year with solid revenue growth and margin expansion, and $4.8 billion of free cash flow. In the fourth quarter, this was led by strong results at GE Aerospace with order and revenue growth above 20 percent, as well as Power with double-digit growth. In addition, we further strengthened our foundation, surpassing $100 billion in debt retired since 2018 and improving our operations by more deeply embedding lean and decentralization across GE."
Culp continued, "Looking ahead, GE is positioned to drive growth, profit, and cash, and our outlook reflects our confidence in our businesses. In GE Aerospace, we are executing on an unprecedented ramp, and our best-in-class technology is powering more efficient and sustainable flight. In GE Vernova, Power is delivering with Gas Power stable, and Renewable Energy is taking action to drive operational improvements as it also begins to benefit from external catalysts like the Inflation Reduction Act. As a result, we expect high-single-digit revenue growth and strong free cash flow generation in 2023 for GE. We are making good progress on our plans to launch these independent, investment-grade, industry-leaders that will unlock greater value for our customers and shareholders."
GE continued to strengthen GE Aerospace and GE Vernova2:
GE Aerospace
•Delivered strong orders, revenue, and operating profit growth in the fourth quarter and full year, driven by continued commercial momentum, strength in services, and improved execution from the team.
•Achieved key business wins, including entering an equipment and long-term support agreement with Cargolux for their GE-powered Boeing freighter fleet and expansion of CFM's LEAP Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul services to Air France Industries KLM Engineering and Maintenance as a LEAP engine service provider.
GE Vernova2
•Improved earnings and cash at Power with orders up double digits in the fourth quarter while Renewable Energy organic orders increased high single digits and Grid achieved profitability.
•Drove commercial execution, including Power's order from the Swiss Federal Office of Energy to provide a reserve power plant through 2026 and an agreement with Shell for LNG decarbonization solutions.

GE announced the following business outlooks for full year 2023:
GE Aerospace:
•Organic revenue* to grow mid-to-high teens
•Operating profit of $5.3 billion - $5.7 billion
•Free cash flow* up
GE Vernova1:
•Organic revenue* to grow low-to-mid single digits
•Operating profit of $(0.6) billion - $(0.2) billion
•Free cash flow* flat to slightly improved
GE's full year outlook reflects a higher services concentration in the portfolio, as well as confidence in the strength of GE Aerospace as the worldwide commercial aviation industry continues its post-pandemic recovery. GE also anticipates that Military revenue growth will yield significant profit growth for GE Aerospace in 2023. The outlook for GE Vernova1 reflects profit improvement at both businesses. GE expects flat-to-slight improvement in free cash flow* driven largely by better profitability and planned down payments in Onshore, where timing could shift across quarters, and some offset from Offshore increasing deliveries. Across GE, continued operational improvements are expected to deliver higher earnings and improved working capital management, driving higher cash flow for GE in 2023.
GE will hold an Investor Conference on Thursday, March 9, 2023, with additional details on its 2023 outlook.

Orders of $9.7 billion increased 26% on a reported and organic basis, driven by Commercial Services and Military equipment growth. Revenues of $7.6 billion were up 25% reported and 26% organically*, driven by continued growth in Commercial Services from higher internal shop visits and strong external spare part sales. Commercial Engines revenue growth was largely due to significantly higher LEAP unit deliveries. Military revenue was also up. Segment margin of 18.8% contracted by (120) basis points reported and (150) basis points organically*, driven by higher commercial engine shipments, continued investment to support the growth of the business, and other cost pressures, partially offset by higher volume and price. Price net of cost inflation was positive in the quarter.
For the year, orders of $31.1 billion were up 22% reported and organically driven by Commercial Services and equipment. Revenues of $26.0 billion increased 22% reported and 23% organically* driven by Commercial Services. Segment margin of 18.3% expanded 480 basis points reported and 440 basis points organically*, with services growth and favorable price more than offsetting the impact from higher LEAP engine deliveries. Free cash flow* of $4.9 billion was driven by earnings and working capital. Overall, GE Aerospace continues to support customers in the ongoing growth across engines and services, as well as the existing fleet in service, while optimizing for a smarter and more efficient future of flight.

Orders of $5.0 billion increased 4% reported and 7% organically driven by higher equipment growth at Grid and Onshore Wind in North America, partially offset by lower services orders from a lack of repower upgrades. Revenues of $3.4 billion decreased 19% reported and 13% organically* due to lower volume in Onshore Wind from the U.S. PTC lapse and lower repower upgrades. Segment margin of (13.3)% contracted 590 basis points reported and 260 basis points organically*, from Onshore Wind volume pressure and inflation across businesses. Partially offsetting this contraction was positive performance at Grid and price across businesses.
For the year, orders of $14.7 billion decreased 19% reported and 17% organically, largely due to a difficult prior year comparison in Offshore Wind. Revenues of $13.0 billion decreased 17% reported and 13% organically*. This was largely due to lower volume at Onshore Wind. Segment margin of (17.3)% contracted 1,220 basis points reported and 1,150 basis points organically* driven by lower volume at Onshore Wind, higher warranty and related reserves in 3Q'22, and net inflation pressure across all businesses. Full year free cash flow* of $(2.0) billion declined due to lower earnings. Long-term, Renewable Energy is firmly positioned to lead the energy transition, building on advanced technologies and external growth catalysts, such as the Inflation Reduction Act, while taking action to improve performance.

Orders of $5.4 billion increased 26% reported and 29% organically, driven by higher aeroderivative units and transactional services growth at Gas Power. Revenues of $5.0 billion increased 8% reported and 12% organically* driven by higher aeroderivative unit shipments. Total services revenues increased 3% reported and 6% organically* due to price and transactional services growth offsetting the lower expected contractual service outage volume in Gas Power. Segment margin of 13.8% expanded 720 basis points reported and 710 basis points organically* driven by higher volume at Gas Power, favorable price exceeding cost inflation, and productivity.
For the year, orders of $17.8 billion increased 9% reported and 13% organically driven by Gas Power equipment growth. Revenues of $16.3 billion decreased 4% reported but increased 2% organically* due to higher services growth. Power equipment revenue was flat organically* as growth at Gas Power was largely offset by Steam's new build coal exit. Segment margin of 7.5% expanded 320 basis points reported and 300 basis points organically* driven by positive price, productivity and savings from prior year restructuring. This was partially offset by unfavorable equipment mix at Gas Power and inflation pressure across the businesses. Free cash flow* of $1.9 billion was driven by earnings and working capital. Overall, Power has improved significantly as demonstrated by continued profit and cash growth.

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP
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; and Power services 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 FCF excluding discontinued factoring, (4) 2022 performance excluding GE HealthCare, specifically organic revenues; Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted EPS; and FCF and (5) outlook, 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.

| 2023 OUTLOOK: 2023 ADJUSTED EPS (NON-GAAP) |
| We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measure for Adjusted EPS* in 2023 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing of any gains or losses related to acquisitions & dispositions, the timing and magnitude of the financial impact related to the mark-to-market of our remaining investment in GE HealthCare, AerCap and Baker Hughes, and the timing and magnitude of restructuring expenses. Although we have attempted to estimate the amount of gains and restructuring charges for the purpose of explaining the probable significance of these components, this calculation involves a number of unknown variables, resulting in a GAAP range that we believe is too large and variable to be meaningful. |
