BOSTON — January 29, 2020 — GE (NYSE:GE) announced results for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2019.

GE Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr. said, “The fourth quarter marked a strong close to the year for GE. We met or exceeded our full-year financial targets and are on a positive trajectory for 2020. We're proud of our progress in 2019, including decisive actions to reduce our leverage and strengthen our businesses. Our work continues, but GE's committed team, exceptional technology, and global network make me more confident than ever that we can deliver."

Culp continued, “Our priorities looking forward are clear. We are solidifying our financial position, continuing to strengthen our businesses as improvement efforts build momentum, and driving long-term profitable growth. We remain committed to creating value as we continue our multi-year transformation.”

GE took action in 2019 on its strategic priorities:

•

Reduced GE Industrial leverage, largely driven by reducing net debt* by $7 billion, bringing GE's net debt*/EBITDA* ratio from 4.8x in 2018 to 4.2x in 2019. Used cash from Wabtec and Baker Hughes transactions to pay down debt, including a $5 billion debt tender. Announced the sale of BioPharma to generate further cash for deleveraging as well as U.S. pension benefit changes to further reduce debt.


•	Reduced GE Capital leverage, largely driven by reducing GE Capital debt by $7 billion, bringing GE Capital's debt-to-equity ratio from 5.7x in 2018 to 3.9x in 2019. Completed asset reductions of approximately $12 billion, exceeding the 2019 target of $10 billion and the two-year target of $25 billion.


•	Strengthened GE's businesses. Aviation and Healthcare generated profitable growth, Power is stabilizing its businesses, Renewable Energy delivered a steep volume ramp in Onshore Wind to meet customer demand despite mixed performance overall, and GE Capital grew earnings partly through better operations.


•	Began to drive Lean transformation and mindset throughout GE. Established common operating processes and metrics and a series of standard operational, talent, strategy, and budget reviews. Shifted decision-making and accountability to the businesses, including delayering Power and Renewable Energy.

•

Named new leaders, including Carolina Dybeck Happe as Chief Financial Officer (to start in early 2020), Kevin Cox as Chief HR Officer, Pat Byrne as CEO of Digital, Rachel Duan as CEO of Global Growth Organization, John Godsman as VP Business Development, Steve Winoker as VP Investor Relations, and in newly created roles, Monish Patolawala as VP Operational Transformation and Chris Pereira as Chief Risk Officer.

Orders of $4.5 billion were down 30% reported and down 28% organically. Gas Power orders were down 8% reported and organically, largely driven by the non-repeat of a large turnkey equipment order. The business booked orders for 22 heavy-duty gas turbines, including three HA units and one aeroderivative unit, and services had its strongest orders growth quarter of 2019. Power Portfolio orders were down 57% reported and 55% organically, driven by the non-repeat of a large order in Steam Power.

Segment profit of $302 million was favorable both reported and organically*. Segment margins improved, largely due to better operational rigor and stronger processes at Gas Power as the charges it experienced in 2018 did not repeat. The team continues to stabilize operations and drive cost-out.

(In billions)	December 31, 2019	December 31, 2018	Year on Year
GE Capital Assets	121.5	123.9	(2.5)

Continuing operations generated net income of $69 million in the quarter, up $27 million from the same period last year excluding prior-year tax reform impact of $128 million, primarily due to lower marks and impairments and lower incurred interest expense, partially offset by lower gains, tax benefits, and operations. GE Capital ended the quarter with approximately $121 billion of assets, including $19 billion of liquidity. WMC, a discontinued U.S. mortgage subsidiary of GE Capital, concluded its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, and as of year-end, GE Capital has no further liabilities to WMC.

GE Capital completed asset reductions of approximately $8 billion in the quarter, totaling approximately $12 billion in 2019, exceeding its 2019 target of $10 billion. It also enabled Industrial orders of $1.6 billion in the quarter and $6.2 billion in the year, primarily driven by Energy Financial Services' (EFS) support of Power & Renewable Energy. GE remains focused on de-risking GE Capital, including improving its leverage profile. It will complete its annual statutory cash flow test of its insurance business during the first quarter of 2020.

2020 Outlook

GE announced the following total company outlook for full-year 2020:


•	GE Industrial revenues* to grow organically in the low-single-digit range.


•	Adjusted GE Industrial profit margin* to expand organically in a range from 0 to 75 basis points.


•	Adjusted earnings per share* of $0.50 to $0.60.


•	GE Industrial free cash flow* of $2 billion to $4 billion.

Compared to 2019, GE's 2020 outlook assumes lower cash and profit from BioPharma due to its planned disposition in the first quarter as well as reduced cash from Baker Hughes shareholder dividends in line with the orderly sale of GE's remaining stake. In 2019, for the full year, BioPharma generated approximately $1.3 billion* in cash and $1.5 billion in profit, and GE received approximately $350 million in Baker Hughes dividends. This outlook is also dependent on the 737 MAX's return to service, which GE is planning for in mid-2020, in line with Boeing. GE expects to offset these effects through performance improvements and reduced non-operational headwinds. GE also expects to achieve a GE Industrial net debt*/EBITDA* ratio of less than 2.5x, as well as a less than 4-to-1 debt-to-equity ratio for GE Capital, in 2020.

GE will hold an Investor Update on Wednesday, March 4, 2020, with additional details on its 2020 outlook, including by segment.

(a)

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.

(a)	Represents the adding together of all GE Industrial affiliates and GE Capital continuing operations on a one-line basis. See Note 1 to the 2018 consolidated financial statements at www.ge.com/ar2018 for further information about consolidation matters.

(b)

GE Capital cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $18.8 billion at December 31, 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 billion back-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.


(c)	Balance included consolidated restricted cash of $0.6 billion and $0.4 billion at December, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. GE restricted cash was $0.5 billion and $0.4 billion at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and GE Capital restricted cash was $0.1 billion and an insignificant amount at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.


(d)	GE borrowings includes commercial paper of $3.0 billion at both December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. GE Capital borrowings includes commercial paper of zero and an insignificant amount at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.


(e)	At December 31, 2019, the remaining GE Capital borrowings that had been assumed by GE as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan was $31.4 billion, for which GE has an offsetting receivable from GE Capital of $19.1 billion. The difference of $12.2 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.


(f)	At December 31, 2019, total GE borrowings is comprised of GE-issued borrowings of $20.7 billion and the $12.2 billion of borrowings from GE Capital as described in note (e) above for a total of $32.9 billion.

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; Power Portfolio organic revenues and GE Industrial organic revenues (2) profit, specifically GE Industrial segment organic profit; Adjusted GE Industrial profit and profit margin; Adjusted GE Industrial organic profit and profit margin; Adjusted earnings (loss); Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) and GE Industrial leverage EBITDA, (3) cash flows, specifically GE Industrial free cash flow (FCF) and BioPharma free cash flow, (4) debt balances, specifically, GE Industrial net debt and GE Industrial net debt/EBITDA ratio and (5) outlook, specifically 2020 Adjusted EPS; and 2020 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 these measures provide 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 presenting organic revenues* and organic profit* 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.
When comparing revenues and profit growth between periods excluding the effects of acquisitions, business dispositions and currency exchange rates, those effects are different when comparing results for different periods. Revenues and profit from acquisitions are considered inorganic from the date we complete an acquisition through the end of the fourth quarter following the acquisition and are therefore reflected as adjustments to reported revenues and profit to derive organic revenues and profit for the period following the acquisition. In subsequent periods, the revenues and profit from the acquisition become organic as these revenues and profit are included for all periods presented.

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 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 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.

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;


•	our de-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- and long-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’s run-off insurance operations and discontinued operations; the amount and timing of required capital contributions to the 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;


•	global economic trends, competition and geopolitical risks, including changes in the rates of investment or economic growth in key markets we serve, or an escalation of trade tensions such as those between the U.S. and China;


•	changes in macroeconomic conditions, particularly interest rates as it relates to our pension and run-off insurance liabilities, 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, cyclical and competitive pressures in our Power business, pricing and other pressures in the renewable energy market, levels of demand for air travel and other customer dynamics such as early aircraft retirements, conditions in key geographic markets 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 and Renewable Energy businesses, 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 a cost-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 third-party products with which our products are integrated, such as the fleet grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX and the timing of its return to service, 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 Form 10-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.

2020 OPERATING FRAMEWORK: 2020 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 2020 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing of any gains or losses related to acquisitions & dispositions including our agreement to sell our BioPharma business, 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.
