|
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 cash from operating activities (GE CFOA).
|
•
|
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

|
MD&A
|
|
|
•
|
Backlog and remaining performance obligation (RPO)

RPO, a defined term under GAAP, is backlog excluding any contract with a termination clause without substantive penalty and firm purchase orders not yet received even though the probability of cancellation has been historically remote.
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 per share (EPS)

COMMENTARY: 2018 - 2017
|
•
|
Foreign exchange adversely affected GE Industrial operating earnings by an insignificant amount in the first quarter of 2018.
|
•
|
Financial Services losses increased $
0.2
billion,
mainly due to lower gains, lower earnings from asset levels due to the reduction in GE Capital, costs associated with calling debt, and a loss related to updates to the U.S. tax reform impact on energy investments, partially offset by lower corporate and restructuring costs.

For the purposes of the MD&A, "services" refers 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). For the 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.
|
(d)
|
Industrial segment refers to the sum of our seven industrial reporting segments, without giving effect to corporate items or the elimination of transactions among such segments and between these segments and our Financial Services segment. Therefore, industrial segment revenues will not agree to GE revenues as shown in the Statement of Earnings (Loss).

2018 – 2017 COMMENTARY
|
•
|
Industrial segment revenues increased $
2.2
billion, or
9%
, driven by increases at Oil & Gas primarily due to Baker Hughes, Aviation and Healthcare, partially offset by decreases at Power, Renewable Energy, Transportation and Lighting.
|
•
|
Industrial segment profit decreased $
0.1
billion, or
5%
, driven by lower earnings at Oil & Gas primarily due to restructuring costs associated with Baker Hughes, Power driven by lower volume, unfavorable price and the absence of Water. These decreases were partially offset by higher earnings at Aviation, Healthcare and Renewable Energy.
|
•
|
Industrial segment margin decreased 130 basis points to 9.8% in 2018 from 11.1% in 2017 driven by negative variable cost productivity, price pressure and business mix. The decrease in industrial segment margin reflects decreases at Oil & Gas, Power and Lighting, offset by increases at Transportation, Aviation, Renewable Energy and Healthcare.

COMMENTARY: 2018 - 2017
|
•
|
The power market was softer than expected during the first quarter of 2018 due to energy efficiency, renewable energy penetration and delays in expected orders.
The overall market for new gas orders in 2018 is trending to less than 30 gigawatts.
In addition, excess capacity in developed markets, continued pressure in oil and gas applications and macroeconomic and geopolitical environments have created softening demand for gas turbines.
|
•
|
Equipment revenues decreased primarily at Gas Power Systems due to lower unit sales, including nine fewer aeroderivative units as well as eight fewer gas turbines and 11 fewer Heat Recovery Steam Generators. Services revenues decreased primarily due to the absence of Water following the sale in September 2017 as well as 15 fewer AGP upgrades, partially offset by an increase in revenues at Power Services driven by higher outages and field service repairs. 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, price pressure and the absence of Water, partially offset by $0.4 billion
of structural cost* reduction, excluding the effects of acquisition and disposition activity and foreign exchange.

COMMENTARY: 2018 - 2017
|
•
|
The renewable energy market remains competitive, particularly in onshore wind. The onshore wind market continues to see megawatt growth as customer preference has shifted from 1.X models to larger, more efficient units. However, overcapacity in the industry, the move to auctions in international markets and U.S. tax reform contributed to continued pricing pressure in the first quarter of 2018.
|
•
|
Equipment volume decreased due to 187 fewer wind turbine shipments on a unit basis, or 31% fewer megawatts shipped, than in the prior year. This decrease was primarily driven by lower U.S. volume as the first quarter of 2017 included the fulfillment of the Safe Harbor transactions signed in the fourth quarter of 2016. Services volume increased due to 112 more repower units at Onshore Wind. Revenues also increased due to the acquisition of LM Wind in April 2017, which contributed $0.1 billion of inorganic revenue growth in the first quarter of 2018, and the effects of a weaker U.S. dollar versus the euro and the Chinese renminbi, partially offset by pricing pressure.
|
•
|
The increase in profit was due to structural and product cost-out actions, partially offset by price pressure and lower volume.

COMMENTARY: 2018 - 2017
|
•
|
Stability in the oil and gas market since the second half of 2017 has led to continued improvements in activity. North American onshore rig count has continued to grow, and international rig count has also seen moderate increases. Offshore projects remain subject to increases in customer spending behavior, and final investment decisions on liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects are also expected to start in late 2018 as the market continues to be oversupplied.
|
•
|
The Baker Hughes acquisition in July 2017 contributed $2.6 billion of inorganic revenue growth in the first quarter of 2018. Legacy Oil & Gas equipment and services revenues decreased due to lower volume primarily at TPS and OFE as a result of the market conditions and lower opening backlog. These decreases were partially offset by the effects of a weaker U.S. dollar versus the euro.
|
•
|
The decrease in profit was primarily driven by negative variable cost productivity and restructuring and other charges, partially offset by increased volume from Baker Hughes and synergies delivered from combining the two companies.

COMMENTARY: 2018 - 2017
|
•
|
Global passenger air travel continued to grow with revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) growth outpacing the five-year average and demand exceeding capacity. Industry-load factors remained above 80%. Air freight volume also increased, particularly in international markets, with freight ton kilometers (FTK) demand also exceeding capacity for the quarter.
|
•
|
Services revenue increased primarily due to a higher commercial spares shipment rate, as well as higher prices. Equipment revenues decreased slightly due to lower legacy and GEnx Commercial engine shipments, partially offset by more LEAP and Military engine shipments.
|
•
|
The increase in profit was mainly due to higher spare engine shipments, product and structural cost productivity and higher prices. These increases were partially offset by an unfavorable business mix driven by negative LEAP margin impact.

COMMENTARY: 2018 - 2017
|
•
|
The Healthcare Systems global market continues to expand at low single digit rates, driven by strength in emerging markets, as these economies continue to expand their population’s access to healthcare, and slower growth in developed markets. The Life Sciences market continues to be strong, with the Bioprocess market growing at a high single digit rate, driven by growth in biologic drugs, and the contrast agents market growing at low single digit rates.
|
•
|
Services and equipment revenues increased due to higher volume in Healthcare Systems attributable to global growth in Imaging and Ultrasound in both developed regions such as Europe and developing regions such as China and emerging markets. Volume also increased in Life Sciences, driven by Bioprocess and Contrast Imaging. Revenues also increased due to the effects of a weaker U.S. dollar versus the euro, Chinese renminbi and pound sterling, partially offset by price pressure at Healthcare Systems.
|
•
|
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 and investments in programs.

COMMENTARY: 2018 - 2017
|
•
|
The North American market continues to see some fleet overcapacity (which is declining) and constrained spending by the railroads limiting fleet expansion. However, total rail volume increased 2.4% during the first quarter of 2018 driven primarily by an increase in intermodal traffic
(a)
. With improving carload volume, the number of parked locomotives has decreased 18% from the prior year.
|
•
|
Equipment volume decreased primarily driven by lower locomotive shipments in North America due to continuing challenging market conditions. Services revenues increased 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 increase in profit was driven by favorable business mix from a higher proportion of services volume as well as lower engineering spend and the effects of restructuring actions.

COMMENTARY: 2018 - 2017
|
•
|
The traditional lighting market continued to be challenging in the first quarter of 2018 due to continued U.S. energy efficiency regulations and market shifts away from traditional lighting products in favor of more energy-efficient, cost-saving options.
|
•
|
Equipment revenues decreased due to lower traditional lighting product and solar sales and lower LED prices, partially offset by continued volume growth in LED. In addition, revenues further decreased due to Lighting regional exits outside of North America.
|
•
|
The decrease in profit was driven by lower prices and product mix, partially offset by material deflation, lower depreciation and amortization, and savings from restructuring, regional exits and decreased investment and controllable spending.

SIGNIFICANT TRENDS & DEVELOPMENTS
|
•
|
GE Capital paid common dividends of $2.0 billion to GE in the three months ended March 31, 2017, and did not pay a dividend in the three months ended March 31, 2018. In addition, GE Capital does not expect to make a common share dividend distribution to GE for the foreseeable future.
|
•
|
In 2018, we announced plans to take actions to make GE Capital smaller and more focused, including a substantial reduction in the size of GE Capital’s Energy Financial Services and Industrial Finance businesses over the next 24 months.
|
•
|
In the three months ended March 31, 2018, GE Capital contributed capital to its insurance subsidiaries of $3.5 billion and expects to contribute approximately an additional $11 billion through 2024 subject to monitoring by the Kansas Insurance Department. GE is required to maintain specified capital levels at these insurance subsidiaries under capital maintenance agreements. We perform premium deficiency testing at least annually. Any future adverse changes in our assumptions could result in an increase to future policy benefit reserves. For example, a hypothetical five percent increase in future claim costs, holding all other assumptions constant, would result in a $1.5 billion increase to our future policy benefit reserves. Similarly, a hypothetical 25 basis point decline in expected investment yield, holding all other assumptions constant, would result in a $1.0 billion increase in future policy benefit reserves. Any favorable changes to these assumptions could result in additional margin in our premium deficiency test and higher income over the remaining duration of the portfolio, including higher investment income. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
|
•
|
During the first quarter of 2018, we recorded a reserve of
$1.5 billion
in discontinued operations in connection with the DOJ ongoing investigation regarding potential violations of FIRREA by WMC and GE Capital. See Legal Proceedings and Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
|
•
|
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased
$11.8 billion
.
|
•
|
Investment securities decreased
$1.5 billion
,
primarily due to maturities of liquidity portfolio investments and a decrease in net unrealized gains, partially offset by net purchases of investment securities at GE Capital. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
|
•
|
Current receivables decreased $1.6 billion,
primarily due to collections of receivables sold by GE to GE Capital in the fourth quarter of 2017 outpacing new volume. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
|
•
|
Inventories increased $1.2 billion,
primarily due to build for future demand in our Renewable Energy, Power, Aviation and Oil & Gas segments. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
|
•
|
Goodwill increased $1.5 billion,
primarily due to the effects of currency exchange of $1.1 billion and purchase accounting adjustments of $0.5 billion. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
|
•
|
Contract and other deferred assets increased
$0.4 billion
.
Revenues in excess of billings increased $0.2 billion and $0.4 billion for our long-term service and equipment agreements, respectively.

See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
|
•
|
All other assets decreased $2.2 billion,
primarily due to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-16,
Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory
. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
|
•
|
Deferred income taxes increased $2.7 billion,

|
•
|

billion in
2018
and
2017
, respectively, primarily due to the following:
|
•
|
Net earnings for cash flows plus depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and deferred income taxes of $
1.6
billion in
2018
compared with
$0.8
billion in
2017
. Net earnings for cash flows included restructuring and other charges and current tax expense of $0.6 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively, in 2018, compared with $1.0 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively, in 2017.
|
•
|
Lower growth in contract and other deferred assets of
$0.4
billion in
2018
compared with
$1.2
billion in
2017
, primarily due to the timing of revenue recognized relative to the timing of billings and collections on our long-term service agreements and the liquidation of deferred inventory, primarily in our Power segment.
|
•
|
An increase in cash used for working capital of
$0.3
billion in
2018
compared with
2017
. This was primarily due to an increase in cash used for current receivables of $0.3 billion, mainly in our Renewable Energy segment and an increase in cash used for inventories of $0.3 billion, mainly in our Aviation and Oil & Gas segments. These increases in cash used for working capital were partially offset by an increase in cash generated by progress collections of $0.1 billion, driven by our Renewable Energy segment and a decrease in cash used for accounts payable of $0.1 billion.
|
•
|
GE Pension Plan contributions of $0.3 billion in
2018
compared with no such contributions in
2017
.
|
•
|
Lower taxes paid of $0.3 billion in
2018
compared with $0.7 billion in
2017
.
|
•
|
An increase in net cash used to reduce other liabilities of approximately $0.4 billion.
|
•
|
No business acquisitions in
2018
, compared with business acquisitions of $
1.0
billion in
2017
, mainly driven by the acquisition of ServiceMax for $
0.9
billion (net of cash acquired).
|
•
|
This decrease in cash used was partially offset by following increases:
|
•
|
Technology investments in our Aviation segment of $0.6 billion in 2018, compared with $0.1 billion in 2017.
|
•
|
Net cash paid for settlements of derivative hedges of $0.2 billion in 2018.
|
MD&A
|
FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
|
•
|
A net decrease in borrowings of $
1.8
billion in
2018
, mainly driven by net repayments of debt of $2.1 billion (including $0.7 billion at BHGE), partially offset by a long-term loan from GE Capital to GE of $0.3 billion, compared with a net increase in borrowings of
$2.5
billion in
2017
, primarily driven by long-term loans from GE Capital to GE of $4.1 billion, partially offset by the settlement of the remaining portion of a 2016 short-term loan from GE Capital to GE of $1.3 billion.
|
•
|
This increase in cash used was partially offset by the following decreases:
|
•
|
An insignificant amount of net repurchases of GE treasury shares in
2018
, compared with net repurchases of
$1.6
billion in
2017
.
|
•
|
Common dividends paid to shareowners of $1.0 billion in 2018, compared with $2.1 billion in 2017.
|
•
|
A general increase in cash generated from earnings of continuing operations and lower operating costs, including payroll.
|
•
|
Investment securities decreased
$2.1 billion
related to net maturities of $0.5 billion in
2018
compared to net maturities of $2.6 billion in
2017
.
|
•
|
Net proceeds from the sales of our discontinued operations of an insignificant amount in
2018
compared to
$0.8
billion in
2017
.
|
•
|
A general reduction in funding related to discontinued operations.
|
•
|
These decreases were partially offset by a long-term loan from GE Capital to GE of $0.3 billion in
2018
compared to long-term loans from GE Capital to GE of $4.1 billion partially offset by the settlement of the remaining portion of a 2016 short-term loan from GE Capital to GE of $1.3 billion in
2017
.
|

Organic revenue growth* measures revenue growth excluding the effects of acquisitions, business dispositions and currency exchange rates. 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 currency exchange, which activities are subject to volatility and can obscure underlying trends. We also believe that presenting organic revenue growth* 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 businesses and companies. Management recognizes that the term "organic revenue growth" may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances. Although this may have an effect on comparability of absolute percentage growth from company to company, we believe that these measures are useful in assessing trends of the respective businesses or companies and may therefore be a useful tool in assessing period-to-period performance trends.

(a) The tax effect on non-operating benefit costs was calculated using a 21% U.S. federal statutory tax rate, based on its applicability to such cost.
(b) Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total.
|
||||||||
Adjusted earnings (loss) and EPS* excludes non-operating benefit costs, gains, and restructuring and other items, after tax. The service cost of 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, and we manage these separately from the operational performance of our businesses. Gains and restructuring and other items are impacted by the timing and magnitude of gains associated with dispositions, and the timing and magnitude of costs associated with restructuring activities. 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 2018. 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.

In 2018, GE transitioned from reporting an Adjusted GE Industrial CFOA metric to measuring itself on a GE Industrial Free Cash Flows basis*. This metric includes GE CFOA plus investments in property, plant and equipment and additions to internal-use software; this metric excludes any dividends received from GE Capital and any cash received from dispositions of property, plant, and equipment and internal-use software.
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||
We believe that investors may also find it useful to compare GE’s Industrial free cash flow performance without the effects of cash used for taxes related to business sales and contributions to the GE Pension Plan. We believe that this measure will better allow management and investors to evaluate the capacity of our industrial operations to generate free cash flows. In addition, we report Adjusted GE Industrial Free Cash Flows* in order to provide a more fair representation of the cash that we are entitled to utilize in a given period. We also use Adjusted GE Industrial Free Cash Flows* as a performance metric at the company-wide level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2018.
|
||||||
|
|
|
||||
Management recognizes that the term free cash flow may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances. Although this may have an effect on comparability of absolute percentage growth from company to company, we believe that these measures are useful in assessing trends of the respective businesses or companies and may therefore be a useful tool in assessing period-to-period performance trends.

Shares were repurchased through the GE Share Repurchase Program that we announced on April 10, 2015 (the Program). Under the Program, we are authorized to repurchase up to
$50 billion
of our common stock through 2018 and, as of
March 31, 2018
, we had repurchased a total of approximately
$29.2 billion
under the Program. The Program is flexible and shares will be acquired with a combination of borrowings and free cash flow from the public markets and other sources, including GE Stock Direct, a stock purchase plan that is available to the public.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
•
|
Modifications - Under the new revenue standard, contract modifications will generally be accounted for as if we entered into a new contract, resulting in prospective recognition of changes to our estimates of contract billings and costs. That is, cumulative effect adjustments will generally no longer be recognized in the period that modifications occur.
|
•
|
Scope and term - The new revenue standard provides more prescriptive guidance on identifying the elements of long-term service type contracts that should be accounted for as separate performance obligations. Application of this guidance, which focuses on understanding the nature of the arrangement, including our customers' discretion in purchasing decisions, has resulted in changes to the scope of elements included in our accounting model for long-term service agreements. For example, significant equipment upgrades offered as part of our long-term service agreements will generally be accounted for as separate performance obligations under the new revenue standard.

for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, to investment contracts, insurance liabilities and annuity benefits in our run-off insurance operations to reflect the effects that would have been recognized had the related unrealized investment securities holding gains been realized. See Note 12 for further information.

Cash flow hedges primarily includes impact of foreign exchange contracts and gains (losses) on interest rate derivatives, primarily recorded in GE Capital revenue from services, interest and other financial charges and other costs and expenses. See Note 17 for further information.
|

Primarily includes amortization of actuarial gains (losses), amortization of prior service cost and curtailment gain (loss). These components are included in the computation of net periodic pension cost. See Note 13 for further information.
|
(e)

|
On January 1, 2018, we adopted several new accounting standards on a modified retrospective basis. Cumulative impact of these changes was recorded in the opening retained earnings and it increased our retained earnings by
$500 million
, primarily due to an increase of
$464 million
related to ASU 2016-16. See Note 1 for further information.

For cash flow and fair value hedges, the effect on earnings is primarily related to ineffectiveness. For net investment hedges, the effect on earnings is related to ineffectiveness and spot-forward differences.
|
(b)
|
Both non-derivatives and derivatives hedging instruments are included. The carrying value of non-derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges was
$(13,627) million
and
$(3,328) million
at
March 31, 2018
and 2017, respectively. Total pre-tax reclassifications from CTA to gain (loss) was
zero
and
$60 million
at
March 31, 2018
and 2017, respectively. Total pre-tax reclassifications from CTA to gain (loss) included
zero
and
$60 million
recorded in discontinued operations at
March 31, 2018
and 2017, respectively.
|
(c)
|
Net effect is substantially offset by the change in fair value of the hedged item that will affect earnings in future periods.

Two
funding vehicles established to purchase customer notes receivable from GE,
one
of which is partially funded by third-party debt.

(b)
|
In January 2018, ownership of the equity shares of Electric Insurance Company ("EIC") were distributed to GE Capital by a bankruptcy trustee. We have previously reported EIC as a VIE because we received a

Amounts included are the total dollar value of proposed assessments received from MSHA during the three months ended March 31, 2018, regardless of whether the assessment has been challenged or appealed. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are sometimes reduced in severity and amount, and sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders, and proposed assessments vary by inspector and also vary depending on the size and type of the operation.
