MD&A |
• | General Electric or the Company – the parent company, General Electric Company. |
• | GE – the adding together of all affiliates except GE Capital, whose continuing operations are presented on a one-line basis, giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. As GE presents the continuing operations of GE Capital on a one-line basis, certain intercompany profits resulting from transactions between GE and GE Capital have been eliminated at the GE level. We present the results of GE in the center column of our consolidated statements of earnings (loss), financial position and cash flows. An example of a GE metric is GE Industrial free cash flows (Non-GAAP). |
• | General Electric Capital Corporation or GECC – predecessor to GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC. |
• | GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC or GECGH – the adding together of all affiliates of GECGH, giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. |
• | GE Capital or Financial Services – refers to GECGH and is the adding together of all affiliates of GE Capital giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. We present the results of GE Capital in the right-side column of our consolidated statements of earnings (loss), financial position and cash flows. |
• | GE consolidated – the adding together of GE and GE Capital, giving effect to the elimination of transactions between the two. We present the results of GE consolidated in the left-side column of our consolidated statements of earnings (loss), financial position and cash flows. |
• | GE Industrial – GE excluding the continuing operations of GE Capital. We believe that this provides investors with a view as to the results of our industrial businesses and corporate items. An example of a GE Industrial metric is GE Industrial free cash flows (Non-GAAP), as defined in Other Terms Used by GE below. |
• | Industrial segment – the sum of our seven industrial reporting segments, without giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such segments and between these segments and our financial services segment. This provides investors with a view as to the results of our industrial segments, without inter-segment eliminations and corporate items. An example of an industrial segment metric is industrial segment revenue growth. |
• | Baker Hughes, a GE company or BHGE – following the combination of our Oil & Gas business with Baker Hughes Incorporated, our Oil & Gas segment is comprised of our ownership interest of approximately 62.5% in the new company formed in the transaction, Baker Hughes, a GE Company (BHGE). We consolidate 100% of BHGE's revenues and cash flows, while our Oil & Gas segment profit and net income are derived net of minority interest of approximately 37.5% attributable to BHGE's Class A shareholders. References to "Baker Hughes" represent legacy Baker Hughes Incorporated operating activities which, in certain cases, have been excluded from our results for comparative purposes. |
• | Total segment – the sum of our seven industrial segments and one financial services segment, without giving effect to the elimination of transactions between such segments. This provides investors with a view as to the results of all of our segments, without inter-segment eliminations and corporate items. |
MD&A |
• | Backlog and remaining performance obligation (RPO) – backlog is unfilled customer orders for products and product services (expected life of contract sales for product services). RPO, a defined term under GAAP, is backlog excluding any purchase order that provides the customer with the ability to cancel or terminate without incurring a substantive penalty, even if the likelihood of cancellation is remote based on historical experience. We plan to continue reporting backlog as we believe that it is a useful metric for investors, given its relevance to total orders. |
• | Continuing earnings – we refer to the caption “earnings from continuing operations attributable to GE common shareowners” as continuing earnings. |
• | Continuing earnings per share (EPS) – when we refer to continuing earnings per share, it is the diluted per-share amount of “earnings from continuing operations attributable to GE common shareowners.” |
• | Digital revenues – revenues related to internally developed software (including PredixTM) and associated hardware, and software solutions that improve our customers’ asset performance. These revenues are largely generated from our operating businesses and are included in their segment results. Revenues of "Non-GE Verticals" refer to GE Digital revenues from customers operating in industries where GE does not have a presence. |
• | Equipment leased to others (ELTO) – rental equipment we own that is available to rent and is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. |
• | GE Capital Exit Plan - our plan, announced on April 10, 2015, to reduce the size of our financial services businesses through the sale of most of the assets of GE Capital, and to focus on continued investment and growth in our industrial businesses. |
• | GE Industrial free cash flows (Non-GAAP) – GE CFOA adjusted for gross GE additions to property, plant and equipment and internal-use software, which are included in cash flows from investing activities, and excluding dividends from GE Capital, GE Pension Plan funding, and taxes related to business sales. |
• | Adjusted GE Industrial free cash flows (Non-GAAP) – GE Industrial free cash flows adjusted for Oil & Gas CFOA, gross Oil & Gas additions to property, plant and equipment and internal-use software, and including the BHGE Class B shareholder dividend. |
• | GE Industrial profit margin (GAAP) – GE total revenues plus other income minus GE total costs and expenses less GE interest and other financial charges and non-operating benefit costs divided by GE total revenues plus other income. |
• | Adjusted GE Industrial profit margin (Non-GAAP) – GE Industrial profit margin excluding gains (losses) and restructuring and other charges plus noncontrolling interests. |
• | GE Industrial structural costs (Non-GAAP) – Industrial structural cost include segment structural costs excluding the impact of restructuring and other charges, business acquisitions and dispositions, foreign exchange, plus total Corporate operating profit excluding restructuring and other charges and gains. The Baker Hughes acquisition is represented on a pro-forma basis, which means we calculated our structural costs by including legacy Baker Hughes results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. |
• | Net earnings (loss) – we refer to the caption “net earnings (loss) attributable to GE common shareowners” as net earnings. |
• | Net earnings (loss) per share (EPS) – when we refer to net earnings (loss) per share, it is the diluted per-share amount of “net earnings attributable to GE common shareowners.” |
• | Adjusted continuing earnings (Non-GAAP) – continuing earnings excluding the impact of non-operating benefit costs, after tax. |
• | Adjusted continuing earnings per share (Non-GAAP) – when we refer to GE earnings per share, it is the diluted per-share amount of “adjusted continuing earnings.” |
• | Adjusted earnings (Non-GAAP) – continuing earnings excluding the impact of non-operating benefit costs, gains (losses) and restructuring and other items, after tax, and the impact of U.S. tax reform. |
• | Adjusted earnings per share (Non-GAAP) – when we refer to adjusted earnings per share, it is the diluted per-share amount of “adjusted earnings.” |
• | Organic revenues (Non-GAAP) – revenues excluding the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and translational foreign currency exchange. |
• | Product services agreements – contractual commitments, with multiple-year terms, to provide specified services for products in our Power, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas, Aviation and Transportation installed base – for example, monitoring, maintenance, service and spare parts for a gas turbine/generator set installed in a customer’s power plant. |
• | Revenues – revenues comprise sales of goods, sales of services for our industrial businesses and GE Capital revenues from services for our financial services businesses. |
• | Segment profit – refers to the profit of the industrial segments and the net earnings of the financial services segment, both of which include other income. See the Segment Operations section within the MD&A for a description of the basis for segment profits. |
• | Services – for purposes of the financial statement display of sales and costs of sales in our Statement of Earnings (Loss), “goods” is required by SEC regulations to include all sales of tangible products, and “services” must include all other sales, including other services activities. In our MD&A section of this report, we refer to sales under product services agreements and sales of both goods (such as spare parts and equipment upgrades) and related services (such as monitoring, maintenance and repairs) as sales of “services,” which is an important part of our operations. |

MD&A | CONSOLIDATED RESULTS |
• | In the fourth quarter of 2017, we announced our plan to significantly reduce the size of our Board of Directors at the 2018 annual shareowners meeting. On April 25, 2018, 12 directors were elected to the Board of Directors, with increased focus on relevant industry expertise, capital allocation and accounting and financial reporting. |
• | During the first quarter of 2018, we recorded a reserve of $1.5 billion in discontinued operations in connection with the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) ongoing investigation regarding potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) by WMC and GE Capital. See Legal Proceedings and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for further information. |
• | On June 26, 2018, Larry Culp, former CEO of Danaher, was elected as lead director effective that same date, succeeding Jack Brennan, who is completing his last term on the Board. Mr. Culp will also chair the Board’s Management Development and Compensation Committee. |
• | On July 26, 2018, we announced that Jan Hauser, GE's Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, had communicated her intention to retire from GE. GE plans to appoint Thomas Timko, currently the chief accounting officer of General Motors Company, as her successor, effective on or about September 10, 2018. |
• | In September 2017, we announced an agreement to sell our Industrial Solutions business within our Power segment for approximately $2.6 billion to ASEA Brown Boveri (ABB), a Swiss-based engineering company. On June 29, 2018, we completed the sale and recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.3 billion in the second quarter of 2018. |
• | In February 2018, we entered into an agreement to sell our GE Lighting business in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Turkey and our Global Automotive Lighting business to a company controlled by a former GE executive in the region. We closed substantially all of this transaction in the second quarter of 2018. |
• | In April 2018, we announced an agreement to sell our Enterprise Financial Management, Ambulatory Care Management and Workforce Management assets, comprising our Healthcare segment’s Value-Based Care Division, to Veritas Capital, a private equity investment firm, for approximately $1.1 billion in cash. This transaction closed on July 10, 2018. |
• | In May 2018, we announced an agreement to merge our Transportation segment with Wabtec Corp, a U.S. rail equipment manufacturer. Under the agreement, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of Wabtec and GE, GE will receive $2.9 billion in cash at closing, and GE and its shareholders will receive a 50.1% ownership interest in the combined company, with GE holding 9.9% and GE shareholders holding the remaining 40.2%. Wabtec shareholders will retain 49.9% of the combined company. The deal is expected to close in early 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval. |
• | In June 2018, we announced an agreement to sell our Distributed Power business within our Power segment to Advent International, a global private equity investor, for $3.3 billion. The deal is expected to close by the fourth quarter 2018, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. |
• | In June 2018, we announced the results of our strategic review and our intention to focus on our Power, Renewable Energy and Aviation businesses. We plan to separate GE Healthcare into a standalone company over the next 12 to 18 months, pursue an orderly separation from BHGE over the next two to three years and substantially reduce GE Industrial net debt* by approximately $25 billion by the end of 2020. In addition, we announced our plan for a smaller corporate headquarters focused primarily on strategy, capital allocation, talent and governance, a move which is expected to generate at least $500 million in corporate savings by the end of 2020. While we announced the strategic portfolio actions for Transportation, GE Healthcare and BHGE, these businesses have not met the accounting criteria for held for sale classification. That classification will depend on the nature and timing of the transaction. |

COMMENTARY: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 |
• | Industrial segment revenues increased $1.1 billion, or 4%, as increases at Oil & Gas, Aviation and Healthcare were partially offset by decreases at Power, Renewable Energy, Transportation and Lighting. This increase was driven by the net effects of acquisitions of $2.8 billion, primarily attributable to Baker Hughes, and the effects of a weaker U.S. dollar of $0.6 billion, partially offset by the net effects of dispositions of $0.6 billion, primarily attributable to the absence of Water following its sale in the third quarter of 2017. Excluding the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency translation, industrial segment organic revenues* decreased $1.7 billion. |
COMMENTARY: SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 |
• | Industrial segment revenues increased $3.3 billion, or 6%, as increases at Oil & Gas, Aviation and Healthcare were partially offset by decreases at Power, Renewable Energy, Transportation and Lighting. This increase was driven by the net effects of acquisitions of $5.5 billion, primarily attributable to Baker Hughes, and the effects of a weaker U.S. dollar of $1.4 billion, partially offset by the net effects of dispositions of $1.1 billion, primarily attributable to the absence of Water following its sale in the third quarter of 2017. Excluding the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency translation, industrial segment organic revenues* decreased $2.6 billion. |

• | Industrial segment profit decreased $0.5 billion, or 14%, with decreases at Power, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas and Transportation, partially offset by higher profit at Aviation, Healthcare and Lighting. Industrial segment organic profit* decreased $0.4 billion, primarily driven by negative variable cost productivity, lower volume and pricing pressure at Power. |
• | Foreign exchange adversely affected GE Industrial profit by an insignificant amount in the second quarter of 2018. |
COMMENTARY: SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 |
• | Corporate profit increased $1.6 billion primarily attributable to decreased restructuring and other costs of $0.9 billion, unrealized gains on investments of $0.3 billion, net gains on business dispositions of $0.2 billion and decreased adjusted Corporate operating costs* of $0.2 billion. |
• | Industrial segment profit decreased $0.6 billion, or 10%, with decreases at Power, Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy and Lighting, partially offset by higher profit at Aviation, Healthcare and Transportation. This decrease in industrial segment profit was primarily driven by restructuring and business development costs related to Baker Hughes of $0.5 billion and the net effects of dispositions of $0.1 billion, primarily associated with the absence of Water following its sale in the third quarter of 2017, partially offset by the net effects of acquisitions $0.3 billion, largely associated with Baker Hughes. Excluding these items, industrial segment organic profit* decreased $0.3 billion, primarily driven by negative variable cost productivity, lower volume and pricing pressure at Power. |
• | Foreign exchange adversely affected GE Industrial profit by $0.1 billion in the first half of 2018. |
MD&A | CONSOLIDATED RESULTS |
• | Interest and other financial charges, income taxes, non-operating benefit costs and GE preferred stock dividends are excluded in determining segment profit for the industrial segments. |
• | Interest and other financial charges, income taxes, non-operating benefit costs and GE Capital preferred stock dividends are included in determining segment profit (which we sometimes refer to as “net earnings”) for the Capital segment. |

• | Equipment revenues decreased primarily at Gas Power Systems due to lower unit sales, including 12 fewer aeroderivative units as well as 14 fewer gas turbines and six fewer Heat Recovery Steam Generators. Services revenues decreased primarily due to the absence of Water following the sale in September 2017 as well as ten fewer AGP upgrades. Revenues also decreased due to price pressure, offset by the effects of a weaker U.S. dollar versus the euro. |
• | The decrease in profit was due to lower volume including the absence of Water, negative variable cost productivity, lower transactional services revenue and negative mix in our long-term service contracts compared to the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by favorable business mix and cost reduction efforts, excluding the effects of acquisition and disposition activity and foreign exchange. |

• | The increase in profit was primarily driven by strong volume growth and cost productivity due to cost reduction actions including increasing digital automation, sourcing and logistic initiatives, design engineering and prior year restructuring actions. These increases were partially offset by price pressure at Healthcare Systems, inflation and investments in programs. |

• | Equipment volume decreased primarily driven by lower locomotive shipments in internationally and in North America due to continuing challenging market conditions. This decrease was partially offset by growth in mining and an increase in services revenues as railroads are running their locomotives longer, and recently unparked locomotives tend to be older units in higher need of servicing and replacement parts, driving an increase in services volume and parts shipped. |
• | The decrease in profit was driven by lower equipment volume, partially offset by favorable business mix from a higher proportion of services volume. |
