BOSTON - October 30, 2019 - GE (NYSE:GE) announced results today for the third quarter ending September 30, 2019.

GE Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr. said, "Our results reflect another quarter of progress in the transformation of GE. We are encouraged by our strong backlog, organic growth, margin expansion, and positive cash trajectory amidst global macro uncertainty. We are raising our Industrial free cash flow outlook again even with external headwinds from the 737 MAX and tariffs, and we are holding our adjusted EPS outlook despite reduced income from moving Baker Hughes to discontinued operations."

Culp continued, "This quarter, during strategy reviews with each of our businesses, we identified and prioritized operating improvements and growth investments that will drive sustainable results. We have more work to do, and we will continue to take actions to improve our financial position and strengthen our businesses as we prepare for 2020 and beyond. I remain confident that we will unlock value for GE's stakeholders as our transformation accelerates."

GE continued to take action to improve its financial position and strengthen its businesses:

  • Sold down remainder of its common shares in Wabtec, which resulted in $1.6 billion of net cash proceeds (~$6 billion in total), and part of its stake in Baker Hughes, which resulted in $3 billion of net cash proceeds (~$6.7 billion to date).
  • Announced or completed more than $9 billion of total Industrial deleveraging actions, including completing a ~$5 billion debt tender, repaying a portion of the intercompany loans from GE Capital, and announcing multiple changes related to U.S. pension benefits that GE expects will reduce its Industrial net debt* by$4-6 billion through 2020.
  • Reduced external debt at GE Capital by $1 billion in the quarter ($5 billion year to date) and assets by ~$2 billion in the quarter ($3.6 billion year to date) and announced the sale of PK AirFinance.
  • Continued to stabilize Power, manage production ramp in Renewable Energy with minimal disruptions, and commercialize new products across GE's businesses.

We present both GAAP and non-GAAP measures to provide investors with additional information. We believe that providing these non-GAAP measures along with GAAP measures allows for increased comparability of our ongoing performance from period to period. Please see pages 10-16 for explanations of why we use these non- GAAP measures and the reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Significant Developments

During the third quarter, GE also recognized non-cash charges that affected earnings:

  • As previously disclosed since 2018, upon ceding majority ownership of Baker Hughes, GE expected to record a significant loss upon deconsolidating the segment, and segment results were reclassified to discontinued operations. This amounted to $8.7 billionpre-tax, which was recorded in discontinued operations.
  • GE completed its annual Insurance U.S. GAAP premium deficiency test, which identified a premium deficiency charge of approximately $1.0 billionpre-tax ($0.8 billion after-tax). This was largely driven by a significant decline in market interest rates that resulted in a lower discount rate, partially offset by premium rate increases. This was a $(0.09) impact to continuing EPS (GAAP).
  • As part of its annual goodwill impairment testing process, GE recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $740 million related to its Hydro business in Renewable Energy, which was a $(0.08) impact to continuing EPS (GAAP).

Orders of $3.9 billion were down 30% reported and 20% organically. Gas Power orders were down 17% reported and 14% organically, largely driven by order timing, and included orders for 15 heavy-duty gas turbines-including the team's 100th HA order-and two aeroderivative units. Power Portfolio orders were down 54% reported and 34% organically, driven by the non-repeat of a large order in Steam Power Systems.

Revenues of $3.9 billion fell 14% reported and 3% organically*, with Gas Power up 2% reported and 3% organically* and Power Portfolio down 37% reported and 15% organically*, largely driven by Steam. Segment profit of negative $144 million was up 79% reported and 81% organically*. Segment margins improved, largely due to lower project and product charges and fixed costs* down 12% in Gas Power, partially offset by lower service volumes. The team showed signs of project stabilization and discipline, and Power continues to make progress on its multi-year turnaround.

Orders of $5.0 billion were up 30% reported and 32% organically, with Onshore Wind orders up 19%. Orders pricing continues to stabilize. Revenues of $4.4 billion were up 13% reported and 15% organically*. Segment profit of negative $98 million was driven by higher losses on legacy contracts, pricing (although stabilizing at the orders level), tariffs, and increased R&D investment, partially offset by cost productivity and strong volume. Renewable Energy signed its largest Cypress (Onshore Wind) order to date as well as its first two preferred supply agreements for the Haliade-X (Offshore Wind), marking important commercial milestones for these new products.

Continuing operations generated a loss of $645 million in the quarter driven by the impact of the annual Insurance U.S. GAAP premium deficiency test. The test was completed in the third quarter and resulted in a non-cashpre-tax charge to earnings of approximately $1 billion, which was driven largely by discount rates and partially offset by premium rate increases.

Excluding the impact of the premium deficiency test, continuing operations generated adjusted earnings of $123 million* in the quarter, up $104 million from the same period last year primarily due to lower impairments, and lower excess interest costs, partially offset by lower gains. GE Capital ended the quarter with $121 billion of assets, including $11.8 billion of liquidity.

GE Capital completed asset reductions of approximately $2 billion in the quarter, totaling approximately $3.6 billion year to date, and announced the sale of PK AirFinance. It remains on track to execute approximately $10 billion of asset reductions in 2019 to meet its two-year target of $25 billion. GE remains focused on shrinking and de-risking GE Capital, including improving its leverage profile.

  1. Segment revenues include sales of products and services related to the segment. Segment profit excludes results reported as discontinued operations, restructuring and other charges, the portion of earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests of consolidated subsidiaries, and as such only includes the portion of earnings or loss attributable to our share of the consolidated earnings or loss of consolidated subsidiaries. Segment profit excludes or includes interest and other financial charges,non-operating benefit costs, income taxes, and preferred stock dividends according to how a particular segment's management is measured - excluded in determining segment profit for Power, Renewable Energy, Aviation and Healthcare; included in determining segment profit, which we sometimes refer to as "net earnings," for Capital. Other income is included in segment profit for the industrial segments. Certain corporate costs, such as those related to shared services, employee benefits and information technology are allocated to our segments based on usage. A portion of the remaining corporate costs is allocated based on each segment's relative net cost of operations. Industrial segment revenues and profit include the sum of our four industrial reporting segments without giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such segments and between these segments and our financial services segment. Total segment revenues and profit include the sum of our four industrial segments and one financial services segment, without giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such segments. We believe that this provides investors with a view as to the results of all of our segments, without inter-segment eliminations and corporate items.

  1. Represents the adding together of all affiliated companies except GE Capital, which is presented on aone-line basis.
  2. GE Capital cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $11.2 billion at September 30, 2019, including $0.9 billion which was subject to regulatory restrictions, primarily in insurance entities. Included in our credit facilities is an unused $20.0 billionback-up syndicated credit facility extended by 36 banks, expiring in 2021, and an unused $14.8 billion syndicated credit facility extended by six banks, expiring in 2020. The commitments under these syndicated credit facilities may be reduced by up to $6.7 billion due to offset provisions for any bank that holds a commitment to lend under both facilities. GE Capital has the right to compel GE to borrow under certain of these credit lines and transfer the proceeds as loans to GE Capital, which would be subject to the same terms and conditions as those between GE and the lending banks.
  3. Balance included consolidated restricted cash of $0.6 billion and $0.4 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. GE restricted cash was $0.6 billion and $0.4 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and GE Capital restricted cash was an insignificant amount at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
  4. GE borrowings includes commercial paper of $3.0 billion at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. GE Capital borrowings includes commercial paper of zero and an insignificant amount at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
  5. At September 30, 2019, the remaining GE Capital borrowings that had been assumed by GE as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan was $33.5 billion, for which GE has an offsetting receivable from GE Capital of $20.2 billion. The difference of $13.3 billion represents the amount of borrowings GE Capital has funded with available cash to GE via an intercompany loan in lieu of issuing borrowings externally.
  6. At September 30, 2019, total GE borrowings is comprised ofGE-issued borrowings of $20.6 billion and the $13.3 billion of borrowings from GE Capital as described in note (e) above for a total of $33.8 billion.

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 GE Industrial segment organic revenues; Gas Power organic revenues; and Power Portfolio organic revenues, (2) costs, specifically Gas Power fixed costs, (3) profit, specifically GE Industrial segment organic profit; Adjusted GE Industrial profit and profit margin (excluding certain items); Adjusted GE Industrial organic profit and profit margin; Adjusted earnings (loss); and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS), (4) cash flows, specifically GE Industrial free cash flows (FCF), (5) debt balances, specifically, GE Industrial net debt and (6) outlook, specifically 2019 Adjusted EPS; and 2019 GE Industrial free cash flows.

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.

We believe that this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, as these activities can obscure underlying trends. We also believe that presenting organic revenues* separately for our industrial businesses provides management and investors with useful information about the trends of our industrial businesses and enables a more direct comparison to other non-financial companies.

We believe that this measure provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, as these activities can obscure underlying trends. We also believe that presenting organic revenues* separately for our industrial businesses provides management and investors with useful information about the trends of our industrial businesses and enables a more direct comparison to other non-financial companies.

We believe that fixed costs* is a meaningful measure as it is broader than selling, general and administrative costs and represents the costs in the segments that generally do not vary with volume.

Segment variable costs* are those costs within our industrial segments that vary with volume. The most significant variable costs would be material and direct labor costs incurred to produce our products and deliver our services that are recorded in the Statement of Earnings line items of cost of goods and cost of services sold.

(a) The tax effect was calculated using a 21% U.S. federal statutory tax rate, based on its applicability to such cost.

Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total.

The service cost for our pension and other benefit plans are included in adjusted earnings*, which represents the ongoing cost of providing pension benefits to our employees. The components of non-operating benefit costs are mainly driven by capital allocation decisions and market performance. We believe that the retained costs in Adjusted earnings and EPS* provides management and investors a useful measure to evaluate the performance of the total company, and increases period-to-period comparability. We also use Adjusted EPS* as a performance metric at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2019. We believe that presenting Adjusted Industrial earnings and EPS* separately for our financial services businesses also provides management and investors with useful information about the relative size of our industrial and financial services businesses in relation to the total company.

    3. With the January 1, 2019 adoption of ASU No. 2016-02,Leases, operating lease liabilities are now presented on the Statement of Financial Position.

In this document we use GE Industrial net debt*, which is calculated based on rating agency methodologies. There is significant uncertainty around the timing and events that could give rise to items included in the determination of this metric, including the timing of pension funding, proceeds from dispositions, and the impact of interest rates on our pension assets and liabilities. We are including the calculation of GE industrial net debt* to provide investors more clarity regarding how the credit rating agencies measure GE Industrial leverage.

2019 OPERATING FRAMEWORK: 2019 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 2019 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 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.

2019 OPERATING FRAMEWORK: 2019 GE INDUSTRIAL FREE CASH FLOWS (NON-GAAP)

We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measure for GE Industrial free cash flows* in 2019 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing of deal taxes related to business sales. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements:

This release and certain of our other public communications and SEC filings may contain statements related to future, not past, events. These forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "see," "will," "would," "estimate," "forecast," "target," "preliminary," or "range." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about our expected financial performance, including cash flows, revenues, organic growth, margins, earnings, and earnings per share; macroeconomic and market conditions; planned and potential business or asset dispositions; our de-leveraging plans, including leverage ratios and targets, the timing and nature of actions to reduce indebtedness and our credit ratings and outlooks; GE's and GE Capital's funding and liquidity; our businesses' cost structures and plans to reduce costs; restructuring, goodwill impairment or other financial charges; or tax rates.

For us, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include:

  • our success in executing and completing, including obtaining regulatory approvals and satisfying other closing conditions for, announced GE Industrial and GE Capital business or asset dispositions or other transactions, including the planned sale of our BioPharma business within our Healthcare segment and plan to exit our equity ownership position in Baker Hughes, the timing of closing for those transactions and the expected proceeds and benefits to GE;
  • ourde-leveraging and capital allocation plans, including with respect to actions to reduce our indebtedness, the timing and amount of GE dividends, organic investments, and other priorities;
  • further downgrades of our current short- andlong-term credit ratings or ratings outlooks, or changes in rating application or methodology, and the related impact on our liquidity, funding profile, costs and competitive position;
  • GE's liquidity and the amount and timing of our GE Industrial cash flows and earnings, which may be impacted by customer, competitive, contractual and other dynamics and conditions;
  • GE Capital's capital and liquidity needs, including in connection with GE Capital'srun-off insurance operations, the amount and timing of required capital contributions to those insurance operations and related strategic actions that we may pursue; the impact of conditions in the financial and credit markets on GE Capital's ability to sell financial assets; the availability and cost of funding; and GE Capital's exposure to particular counterparties and markets;
  • changes in macroeconomic conditions, particularly interest rates, as well as the value of stocks and other financial assets (including our equity ownership position in Baker Hughes), oil and other commodity prices and exchange rates;
  • market developments or customer actions that may affect levels of demand and the financial performance of the major industries and customers we serve, such as secular and cyclical pressures in our Power business, pricing and other pressures in the renewable energy market, conditions in China and other key markets, early aircraft retirements, and other shifts in the competitive landscape for our products and services;
  • operational execution by our businesses, including our ability to improve the operations and execution of our Power business, execution by our Renewable Energy business, and the continued strength of our Aviation business;
  • changes in law, regulation or policy that may affect our businesses, such as trade policy and tariffs, regulation related to climate change, and the effects of U.S. tax reform and other tax law changes;
  • our decisions about investments in new products, services and platforms, and our ability to launch new products in acost-effective manner;
  • our ability to increase margins through implementation of operational changes, restructuring and other cost reduction measures;
  • the impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative and legal proceedings and legal compliance risks, including the impact of Alstom, SEC and other investigative and legal proceedings;
  • the impact of actual or potential failures of our products or our customers' products, such as the fleet grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX, and related reputational effects;
  • the impact of potential information technology, cybersecurity or data security breaches, and
  • the other factors that are described in "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as updated in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

These or other uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.

This release includes certain forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts, and actual results could differ materially. Refer also to the webcast of our investor conference later this morning for additional discussion of our outlook and uncertainties that could cause our future results to be different than our current expectations.

General Electric Capital Corporation (GECC) has been merged into GE and our financial services business is now operated by GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC (GECGH).
