MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A)
PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of ABOUT GENERAL ELECTRIC.General Electric Company (the(General Electric, GE or the Company) combine theis a high-tech industrial manufacturingcompany that operates worldwide through its three segments, Aerospace, Renewable Energy, and Power. Our products include commercial and defense aircraft engines and systems; wind and other renewable energy generation equipment and grid solutions; and gas, steam, nuclear and other power generation equipment. We have significant global installed bases of equipment across these sectors, and services businesses of General Electric Company (GE) with the financial services businesses of GE Capital Global Holdings, LLC (GE Capital or Financial Services) and its predecessor, General Electric Capital Corporation.
We believe that investors will gain a better understandingto support these products are also an important part of our company if they understand howbusiness alongside new equipment sales.
In November 2021, we measureannounced a strategic plan to form three industry-leading, global, investment-grade public companies from (i) our Aerospace business, (ii) our portfolio of energy businesses, including our Renewable Energy and talk aboutPower businesses, which we plan to combine and refer to as GE Vernova, and (iii) our results. Because offormer HealthCare business. In July 2022, we announced the diversity innew brand names for our businesses, we present our financial statements in a three-column format, which allows investors to see our industrial operations separately from our Financial Services operations. We believe that this provides useful information to investors. When used in this report, unless otherwise indicated by the context, we use the terms to mean the following:
General Electric or the Company – the parent company, General Electric Company.
GE – the adding together of all affiliates exceptthree planned future companies: GE Capital, whose continuing operations are presented on a one-line basis, giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. AsAerospace, GE presents the continuing operations of GE Capital on a one-line basis, certain intercompany profits resulting from transactions between GEHealthCare 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, 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 – successor of GECC.
GE Capital or Financial Services – refers to GECGH, or its predecessor GECC, 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, 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, financial position and cash flows.
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 an Industrial metric is Industrial CFOA (Non-GAAP), which is GE CFOA excluding the effects of dividends from GE Capital.
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 operating 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.
Verticals or GE Capital Verticals – the adding together of GE Capital businesses that we expect to retain, principally its vertical financing businesses—GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS), Energy Financial Services (EFS) and Industrial Finance (which includes Healthcare Equipment Finance, Working Capital Solutions and Industrial Financing Solutions)—that relate to the Company’s core industrial domain and other operations, including our run-off insurance activities, and allocated corporate costs.
We integrate acquisitions as quickly as possible. Revenues and earnings from the date we complete the acquisition through the end of the fourth quarter following the acquisition are considered the acquisition effect of such businesses.
Discussion of GE Capital’s total assets includes deferred income tax liabilities, which are presented within assets forVernova. For purposes of our consolidated Statement of Financial Position presentations for this filing.
Amounts reported in billions in graphs within this report are computed based on the amounts in millions. As a result, the sum of the components reported in billions may not equal the total amount reported in billions due to rounding. Certain columns and rows within the tables may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions.
Discussions throughout this MD&A are based on continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

SECOND QUARTER 2023 RESULTS. Total revenues of $2.5 billion*) were $29.0$16.7 billion, down $0.2up $2.6 billion or 1%. The decline in revenues was a result of lower Industrial segment revenues of 1% organically*for the quarter, driven principallyprimarily by our Powerincreases at Aerospace and Oil & Gas segments. For all other Industrial segments, revenues increased 2% organically* as Aviation and Healthcare experienced revenue growth versus the prior year period. Renewable Energy.
Continuing earnings (loss) per share was $0.22, down 4%$0.91. Excluding the results from the prior year. Industrial operating plus Verticalsour run-off Insurance business, gains (losses) on retained and sold ownership interests, non-operating benefit costs, Russia and Ukraine charges, separation costs and restructuring costs, Adjusted earnings per share* was $0.29, down 9% versus$0.68. For the prior year, driven substantially bythree months ended June 30, 2023, profit margin was 8.3% and profit was up $2.4 billion, primarily due to an increase in gains on retained and sold ownership interests of $1.9 billion, an increase in segment profit of $0.4 billion, an increase in non-operating benefit income of $0.3 billion and a 10% decrease in Industrial segment operating profit*.
Restructuringinterest and other financial charges of $0.1 billion. These increases were $0.21 per share, including $0.02 per share related to BHGE integrationpartially offset by Russia and synergy investment. In total, restructuring and other items were $2.4 billion before tax, with restructuringUkraine charges totaling about $0.8 billion (includingof $0.2 billion, related to BHGE) and $0.3 billion of businesses development charges, primarily related to the Baker Hughes transaction. Restructuring charges were higher than originally planned, driven by the accelerated restructuring actions taken at Corporate. Additionally, withinan increase in restructuring and other charges we recognized two significant impairmentsof $0.1 billion and an increase in separation costs of $0.1 billion. Adjusted organic profit* increased $0.4 billion, driven primarily by increases at Aerospace and Renewable Energy.
Cash flows from operating activities (CFOA) were $0.5 billion and $(0.4) billion for the quarter totaling $0.13 per share, which includedsix months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. CFOA increased primarily due to an increase in net income (after adjusting for depreciation of property, plant, and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash pre-tax impairment charges of $0.9 billion(gains) losses related to goodwillour retained and sold ownership interests in our Power Conversion businessGE HealthCare, AerCap and $0.3Baker Hughes) and a decrease in cash used for working capital, which includes certain separation cash expenditures. Free cash flows* (FCF) were $0.5 billion and $(1.0) billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. FCF* increased primarily due to the same reasons as noted for CFOA above, after adjusting for an increase in separation cash expenditures, which are excluded from FCF*. See the Capital Resources and Liquidity - Statement of Cash Flows section for further information.
Remaining performance obligation (RPO) includes unfilled customer orders for equipment, excluding any purchase order that provides the customer with the ability to cancel or terminate without incurring a substantive penalty. Services RPO includes the estimated life of contract sales related to long-term service agreements which remain unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period, the estimated amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for time and material agreements, material services agreements, spare parts under purchase order, multi-year maintenance programs and other services agreements, excluding any order that provides the customer with the ability to cancel or terminate without incurring a power plant asset.substantive penalty. See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for further information on the results of our annual goodwill impairment testing.
Industrial profit was $2.4 billion and industrial margins were 7.6%, down $0.3 billion, or 240 basis points, versus the third quarter of 2016 primarily driven by a reduction in Industrial segment profit of $0.7 billion, or 16%. After adjusting segment operating profit of $3.6 billion for restructuring charges of $0.3 billion related to Oil & Gas, which, subsequent to the Baker Hughes transaction, are recorded in the segment rather than at Corporate, adjusted Industrial segment operating profit* was down $0.4 billion, or 10%. The decline in adjusted Industrial segment operating profit* was primarily due to lower results within our Power and Oil & Gas segments, partially offset by the performance of our remaining industrial segments, which had increases in organic revenues* of 2% and adjusted Industrial segment operating profit* of 23%, including lower Corporate costs.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, the Energy Connections business within the former Energy Connections & Lighting segment was combined with the Power segment and presented as one reporting segment called Power. The Power segment experienced a revenue decline of 4% and an operating profit decline of 51% versus the third quarter of 2016. Power revenues were $8.7 billion, with equipment revenues down 3% and service revenues down 4%.
The decline in Power segment results was primarily driven by three factors:
A decline in year-over-year results, principally in our service business, lower shipments of our aeroderivative products, and performance of our Power Conversion business. Within services, we sold fewer Advanced Gas Path (AGP) upgrades and experienced lower outages. Services outages were down 18% versus the third quarter of 2016. Aeroderivative units were down 32 versus the third quarter of 2016. Our markets have also been challenged by the increasing penetration of renewables, fleet penetration for AGPs, lower capacity payments, utilization, and outages. We expect these conditions to persist through the fourth quarter and into 2018.
Second, we experienced project delays and incurred costs associated with certain quality matters. In addition, we recognized a bad debt reserve for a Venezuelan customer receivable. The net effect of these items amounted to approximately $0.1 billion.
Third, the mix effect of having lower volume in our high-margin aero and service businesses, and higher volume in low-margin grid and balance of plant revenues resulted in a substantial margin headwind.
Refer to the Power segment results section within this MD&A for further information.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, our Oil & Gas segment is comprised of our ownership interest of approximately 62.5% in the combined BHGE entity. We consolidate 100% of BHGE’s revenues and cash flows while segment operating profit and net income are derived net of minority ownership interest of approximately 37.5% attributable to BHGE’s Class A shareholders. Also, the operating profit we report for our Oil & Gas segment is adjusted for GE reporting conventions, such as excluding restructuring and other charges. Therefore, our operating profit of approximately 62.5% will differ from BHGE's operating income as reported in its standalone financial statements.
During the third quarter of 2017, Oil & Gas reported revenues of $5.4 billion, an increase of 81% versus the third quarter of 2016, driven by the effects of the Baker Hughes transaction. Adjusting for the Baker Hughes transaction, segment revenues* were $2.8 billion in the quarter, down 5% due to continued weakness in the oil and gas market. Segment operating profit (loss) was $(36) million, or $231 million after adjusting for restructuring and other charges reported in the segment*. The decline in segment operating profit (after adjusting for restructuring and other charges reported in the segment*) of 35% was primarily driven by longer cycle oilfield equipment business. Refer to the Oil & Gas segment results section within this MD&A for further information.
GE CFOA was $4.1 billion and $18.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The decline in GE CFOA is primarily due to a $12.0 billion decrease in dividends from GE Capital, reflecting a decrease in proceeds from GE Capital Exit Plan disposals. GE CFOA was also impacted by lower earnings from Power and Oil & Gas, as well as lower than expected working capital improvements. Additionally, GE CFOA was negatively impacted by GE Pension Plan payments of $1.4 billion in 2017, compared to zero in the prior year period. Further, due to our ongoing insurance actuarial review, we have deferred the decision whether GE Capital will pay additional dividends to GE until the review is completed. Refer to the GE Cash Flows and Critical Accounting Estimates sections within this MD&A for further information.
As noted in the second quarter of 2017 earnings release presentation, Mr. Flannery is conducting a comprehensive review of the Company, including a review of the Company’s business units, the GE Store and Corporate. Mr. Flannery provided an update on this review as part of the third quarter earnings release presentation, at which time he stated that management had identified $20 billion plus of assets that would be exited in the next one to two years. On November 13, 2017, Mr. Flannery will present to investors outlining, among other items, the results of the business assessment, cost reduction actions, capital allocation and 2018 outlook. We expect additional restructuring charges related to cost reduction actions, and held-for-sale and other associated charges related to the exit or sale of assets or businesses.

REVENUES AND PROFIT
Segment revenues include revenues and other income related to the segment.
Segment profit is determined based on internal performance measures used by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to assess the performance of each business in a given period. In connection with that assessment, the CEO may exclude matters, such as charges for restructuring, rationalization and other similar expenses, acquisition costs and other related charges, technology and product development costs, certain gains and losses from acquisitions or dispositions, and litigation settlements or other charges, for which responsibility preceded the current management team. Subsequent to the Baker Hughes transaction, restructuring and other charges are included in the determination of segment operating profit for our Oil & Gas segment. See the Corporate Items and Eliminations section within this MD&A for additional information about costs excluded from segment profit.
Segment profit excludes results reported as discontinued operations and material accounting changes. Segment profit also excludes 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, income taxes, and preferred stock dividends according to how a particular segment’s management is measured:
Interest and other financial charges, income taxes and GE preferred stock dividends are excluded in determining segment profit (which we sometimes refer to as “operating profit”) for the industrial segments.
Interest and other financial charges, income taxes and GE Capital preferred stock dividends are included in determining segment profit (which we sometimes refer to as “net earnings”) for the Capital segment.
Certain corporate costs, such as 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.
With respect to the segment revenue and profit walks, the overall effect of foreign exchange is included within multiple captions as follows:
The translational foreign exchange impact is included within Foreign Exchange.
The transactional impact of foreign exchange hedging is included in operating cost within Productivity and in other income within Other.
SIGNIFICANT SEGMENT DEVELOPMENTS
SALE OF APPLIANCES
On January 15, 2016, we announced the signing of an agreement to sell our Appliances business to Haier. On June 6, 2016, we completed the sale for proceeds of $5.6 billion (including $0.8 billion from the sale of receivables originated in our Appliances business and sold from GE Capital to Haier) and recognized an after-tax gain of $1.8 billion in 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Appliances contributed revenues of $2.6 billion and an operating profit of $0.3 billion.
CREATION OF BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY
On July 3, 2017, we completed the transaction to create Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE). Under the terms of the deal, which we announced in October 2016, we combined our Oil & Gas business and Baker Hughes Incorporated (Baker Hughes) to create a new company in which GE holds an ownership interest of approximately 62.5% and former Baker Hughes shareholders hold an ownership interest of approximately 37.5%. Baker Hughes shareholders also received a cash dividend funded by a $7.5 billion cash contribution from GE. The completion of the transaction followed the approval of Baker Hughes shareholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Effective July 3, 2017, the operations of Baker Hughes are reported in our Oil & Gas segment.
INCLUSION OF ENERGY CONNECTIONS IN POWER REPORTING SEGMENT
Beginning in the third quarter of 2017, the Energy Connections business within the former Energy Connections & Lighting segment was combined with the Power segment and presented as one reporting segment called Power. As a result of the combination, our GE Lighting and Current, powered by GE (Current) businesses are now reported as a separate segment called Lighting.

Segment revenues down $0.3 billion (4%);
Segment profit down $0.6 billion (51%):
The decrease in revenues was driven by lower services volume at Power Services due to 15 fewer AGP upgrades. Equipment volume also decreased, primarily at Gas Power Systems, as a result of eight fewer gas turbine and 32 fewer aeroderivative units, partially offset by seven more Heat Recovery Steam Generator shipments and extended scope including higher balance of plant revenues. Further decreases in revenue were due to lower prices offset by thenet effects of a weaker U.S. dollar versus the euroacquisitions and increased other income including a reduction in foreign exchange transactional losses.
The decrease in profit was due to negative variable cost productivity, unfavorable business mix due to higher revenues from lower margin balance of plant volume and fewer higher margin aeroderivative units, lower prices and lower overall volume, partially offset by increased other income including a reduction in foreign exchange transactional losses.
Segment revenues up $0.9 billion (4%);
Segment profit down $0.4 billion (14%):
The increase in revenues was driven by higher equipment volume, primarily at Gas Power Systems, due to higher balance of plant as well as 36 more Heat Recovery Steam Generator shipments, partially offset by six fewer gas turbine and 27 fewer aeroderivative units. Revenues also increased due to increased other income including a reduction in foreign exchange transactional losses offset by lower prices and the effects of a stronger U.S. dollar versus the euro.
The decrease in profit was due to negative variable cost productivity, unfavorable business mix due to higher revenues from lower margin balance of plant volume and fewer higher margin aeroderivative units, and lower prices. These decreases were partially offset by positive base cost productivity on higher volume and increased other income including a reduction in foreign exchange transactional losses.

SIGNIFICANT TRENDS & DEVELOPMENTS |
As of March 30, 2017, GE Capital’s non-US activities are no longer subject to consolidated supervision by the U.K.’s Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). This completes GE Capital’s global exit from consolidated supervision, having had its designation as a Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI) removed in June 2016.
GE Capital paid common dividends of $4.0 billion to GE in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Our run-off insurance activities include future policy benefit reserves of $19.2 billion and claim reserves of $4.9 billion at September 30, 2017 of which approximately $9.0 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, relates to long-term care insurance contracts. We test future policy benefit reserves associated with our run-off insurance activities for premium deficiencies annually. We have recently experienced elevated claim experience for a portion of our long-term care insurance contracts that requires the completion of a comprehensive review of premium deficiency assumptions across all insurance products. This review will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. Based upon the work performed to date and complexity of the review as further described within our Critical Accounting Estimates and Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, a charge related to a probable deficiency is not reasonably estimable at September 30, 2017. Until the above described review has been completed we have deferred the decision whether GE Capital will pay additional dividends to GE.

We continue to experience inflation pressure in our supply chain, as well as delays in sourcing key materials needed for our products and skilled labor shortages. This has delayed our ability to convert RPO to revenue and negatively impacted our profit margins. While we expect the impact of inflation to continue to be challenging, we have taken and continue to take actions to limit this pressure, including lean initiatives to drive cost productivity, partnering with our suppliers and adjusting the pricing of our products and services. Also, because we operate in many countries around the world, we are subject to complex global geopolitical forces.

GE AEROSPACE. Our results in the second quarter of 2016, partially offset by the sale2023 reflect continued growth in demand for commercial air travel. A key underlying driver of our Watercommercial engine and services business to Suez for $1.9 billion inis global commercial departures, which improved 21% during the third
second quarter of 20172023 compared to the second quarter of 2022, and now stands at approximately 98% of 2019 levels.
*Non-GAAP Financial MeasureThe air traffic growth trends vary by region given economic conditions, airline competition and government regulations. Consistent with industry projections, we estimate air traffic to grow in line with the global economic conditions. We are in frequent dialogue with our airline, airframe, and maintenance, repair and overhaul customers about the outlook for commercial air travel, new aircraft production, fleet retirements, and after-market services, including shop visit and spare parts demand.
As it relates to the defense environment, we continue to forecast strong demand creating future growth opportunities for our Defense business (previously referred to as our Military business). The U.S. Department of Defense and foreign governments have continued flight operations and have allocated budgets to upgrade and modernize their existing fleets, including support for next generation large-combat engine architecture such as Aerospace’s XA100 program.

RESTRUCTURING
Restructuring actions are an essential component ofsuppliers and have impacted our cost improvement efforts to both existing operationsproduction and those recently acquired. Restructuring and other charges relate primarily to workforce reductions, facility exit costs associated with the consolidation of sales, service and manufacturing facilities, the integration of recent acquisitions, including Alstom, the Baker Hughes transaction, and other asset write-downs.delivery. We continue to closely monitorpartner with our customers on future production rates. Aerospace is proactively managing the economic environmentimpact of inflationary pressure by deploying lean initiatives to drive cost productivity, partnering with our suppliers and may undertake further restructuringadjusting the pricing of our products and services. We expect the impact of inflation will continue, and we are taking actions to mitigate the impact.
Total engineering, comprising company, customer and partner-funded and nonrecurring engineering costs, increased compared to the prior year. We remain committed to investing in developing and maturing technologies that enable a more closely alignsustainable future of flight.
Notably, CFM’s Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines (RISE) program represents our cost structuresingle largest efficiency step change, aiming to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by at least 20% compared to today’s most efficient engines. We continue to take actions to serve our customers as demand in the global airline industry increases. Our deep history of innovation and technology leadership and a commercial and defense engine installed base, including units produced by joint ventures, of approximately 67,000 units, with earningsapproximately 12,300 units under long-term service agreements, represents strong long-term fundamentals. We believe Aerospace is well-positioned to drive long-term profitable growth and cost reduction goals.higher cash generation over time.

RENEWABLE ENERGY – will be part of GE Vernova. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. Of2023, the total $2.4segment experienced higher orders and revenue from increased demand at Grid in Europe, Onshore Wind in North America, and Offshore Wind. The recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) introduces new and extends existing tax incentives for at least 10 years. It is expected to resolve recent U.S. policy uncertainty that resulted in project delays and deferral of customer investments in Onshore Wind and increase near- and longer-term demand in the U.S. for onshore and offshore wind projects. Included in our RPO of $40.4 billion restructuringat June 30, 2023 are service agreements on slightly less than half of our onshore wind turbine installed base of approximately 54,000 units. While the offshore wind industry continues to expect global growth through the decade, cost pressures and the ability to compete with the rapid pace of innovation and ramp up of production of new larger turbines remain key challenges. Our Grid Solutions business is positioned to support grid expansion and modernization needs globally.
*Non-GAAP Financial Measure
At Onshore Wind, we are focused on improving our overall quality and fleet availability through reducing product variants and deploying repairs and other charges, $0.4 billion was recordedcorrective measures across the fleet. We intend to operate in fewer markets and focus on those markets with better pricing and margins. Concurrently, we are undertaking a restructuring program to reduce our operating costs. Our financial results are dependent on costs to address fleet availability and quality at Onshore Wind and the execution of cost reduction initiatives and pricing actions to mitigate the inflationary environment across all our businesses. Furthermore, we are observing the favorable impact of IRA benefits that reduce product costs as qualifying turbines manufactured in the Oil & Gas segment, which amountedU.S. in 2023 are delivered. Approximately half of Onshore Wind’s equipment RPO is associated with U.S. projects where we expect to $0.3receive IRA benefits.
New product introductions, such as our 3 MW and 5 MW Onshore units, and our 12-14 MW Haliade-X Offshore units, account for a large portion of our RPO in Onshore and Offshore Wind. Improving onshore fleet availability and reducing the cost of new product platforms and blade technologies remain key priorities. We are also focused on our production and supply chain capabilities at Offshore Wind given the complexity and challenging nature of these large new product introductions and are closely monitoring our initial Haliade-X projects, as further cost and execution challenges could result in future project charges.
At Grid, we are experiencing strong European demand for High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) solutions and are securing our position in the rapid growth offshore and onshore interconnection markets. Our HVDC transmission products help customers meet the 2GW HVDC solution standard, and we are developing new technology that solves for a denser, more resilient, stable and efficient electric grid; a grid with lower future greenhouse gas emissions. We also benefited from higher growth in orders from other transmission and grid automation related products within our Grid Solutions business.

Revenues increased $0.8 billion (27%) organically*, primarily from higher equipment revenue across all businesses, most notably in Onshore Wind, Grid and Offshore Wind. Wind turbine deliveries increased by 86 units primarily at Onshore Wind, partially offset by 45 fewer repower unit deliveries.
Segment losses decreased $0.2 billion organically*, primarily attributable to higher volume, improved pricing, manufacturing productivity and the impact of cost reduction initiatives at Grid and Onshore Wind. These increases were partially offset by higher losses at Offshore Wind associated with the Haliade-X ramp up and project losses, as well as lower repower volume at Onshore Wind.

Revenues increased $1.0 billion (16%) organically*, primarily from higher equipment revenue at Offshore Wind associated with the Haliade-X ramp up as well as at Grid. These increases were partially offset by fewer repower unit deliveries at Onshore Wind, primarily attributable to customer delays and deferrals during 2022 due to U.S. tax policy uncertainty.

POWER – will be part of GE Vernova. During the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2023, GE gas turbine utilization grew low-single digits with strength in the U.S. offsetting lower utilization in Europe due to demand. Global electricity demand was down mid-single digits due to a milder spring in the U.S. and global energy efficiency measures. Utilization of the fleet continues to follow growing gas power generation despite lower demand, capturing decreases coming from coal and resilient asset usage with a dynamic Europe environment. Looking ahead, we anticipate additional H-class units to be commissioned into the serviceable installed base. As we continue to work in emerging markets, there could be uncertainty in the timing of deal closures due to financing and other complexities. Power has proactively managed the impact of inflationary pressure by deploying lean initiatives to drive cost productivity, partnering with our suppliers and adjusting the pricing of our products and services. Given the long-cycle nature of the business, we expect the impact of inflation will continue to be challenging and we will continue to take actions to manage.
Although market factors related to the energy transition such as greater renewable energy penetration and the adoption of climate change-related policies continue to impact long-term demand (and related financing), we expect the gas power market to remain stable over the next decade with gas power generation continuing to grow low-single-digits. We believe gas power will play a critical role in the energy transition by providing a critical foundation of dispatchable, flexible power and system inertia from which the energy transition can build upon. We remain focused on our underwriting discipline and risk management to ensure we are securing deals that meet our financial hurdles, and we have high confidence to deliver for our customers.

Our tax liability is also affectedAerCap investments, prior losses on our Baker Hughes investments, partially offset by U.S. and foreign tax incentives designed to encourage certain investments, such as research and development, anda loss on our GE HealthCare investment. This increase was partially offset by acquisitions, dispositions and tax law changes. Finally, our tax returns are routinely audited, and settlements of issues raised in these audits sometimes affect our tax rates.
GE and GE Capital file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. This enables GE and GE Capital to use tax deductions and credits of one member of the group to reduce the tax that otherwise would have been payable by another member of the group. The effective tax rate reflects the benefit of these tax reductions in the consolidated return. GE makes cash payments to GE Capital for tax reductions and GE Capital pays for tax increases at the time GE’s tax payments are due.

Consolidated income tax benefit was $0.3 billion in the third quarter of 2017 and insignificant for the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in tax expense is primarily due to the benefit from a lower tax rate on the disposition of the Water business, a larger benefit from global activities and a decrease in pre-tax income taxed at above the average tax rate,foreign exchange dynamics partially offset by the adjustment to increase the 2017 year-to-date rate to bea reduction in line with theour core functional costs and favorability from higher projected full year rate compared to the decrease in the 2016 year-to-date rate to be in-line with the lower projected full-year rate.

MD&A | OTHER CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION |
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenues increased by $0.3 billion due to $0.1 billion of higher Insurance revenues and $0.1 billion of lower intersegment eliminations. Corporate operating profit increased by $8.4 billion due to $8.0 billion of higher gains on retained and sold ownership interests primarily related to higher gains on our AerCap and GE HealthCare investments partially offset by lower gains on our Baker Hughes investments. Corporate operating profit also increased as the result of a $0.8 billion non-cash impairment charges related to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as a result of reclassification of a portion of our Steam Power business to held for sale in the first quarter of 2022. These gains were partially offset by $0.2 billion of higher separation costs and $0.2 billion of higher restructuring and other charges.
2017 – 2016 COMMENTARY: NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER
Adjusted total corporate operating costs* increased by $0.1 billion primarily driven by prior year cost timing and foreign exchange dynamics partially offset by a reduction in our core functional costs and favorability from higher bank interest.
OTHER CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION
RESTRUCTURING AND SEPARATION COSTS. Significant, higher-cost restructuring programs are excluded from measurement of segment operating performance for internal and external purposes; those excluded amounts are reported in Restructuring and other charges for Corporate. In addition, we incur costs associated with separation activities, which are also excluded from measurement of segment operating performance for internal and external purposes. See Note 20 for further information on restructuring and separation costs.
INTEREST AND OTHER FINANCIAL CHARGES were $0.3 billion and $0.4 billion for the three months ended and $0.5 billion and $0.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower average borrowings balances. The primary components of interest and other financial charges are interest on short- and long-term borrowings.

INCOME TAXES.For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the income tax rate was (8)% in the first nine months of 201724.0% compared to 5% in(16.7)% for the first ninethree months of 2016.ended June 30, 2022. The negative tax rate for 2022 reflects a tax expense on a pre-tax loss.
The first nine months of 2017 consolidated tax rate reflects a 110% tax rate on $0.5 billion of pre-tax loss at GE Capital and a 7% tax rate* on $4.4 billion of pre-taxprovision for income at GE.
The first nine months of 2016 consolidated tax rate reflects a 42% tax rate on $1.7 billion of pre-tax loss at GE Capital and a 13% tax rate* on $7.9 billion of pre-tax income at GE.
The consolidated tax provision includes $0.3 billion and $1.0 billion for GE (excluding GE Capital) for the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Consolidated income tax benefittaxes was $0.3 billion for the first ninethree months ended June 30, 2023 and $0.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in tax was primarily due to the tax effect of 2017the increase in pre-tax income excluding gains (losses) on our retained and sold ownership interests and an increase in losses in foreign jurisdictions where they are not likely to be utilized.
For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the adjusted income tax rate* was 25.4% compared to tax expense of23.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes* was $0.3 billion for the first ninethree months of 2016.ended June 30, 2023 and $0.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decreaseincrease in tax expense iswas primarily due to the decreasetax effect of the increase in pre-taxadjusted earnings before taxes* and an increase in losses in foreign jurisdictions where they are not likely to be utilized.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the income taxed at above the average tax rate a larger benefit from global activities andwas 7.7% compared to (8.9)% for the benefit from a lowersix months ended June 30, 2022. The negative tax rate for 2022 reflects a tax expense on the disposition of the Water business. This decrease was partially offset by the adjustment to increase the 2017 year-to-date rate to be in-line with the higher projected full-year rate compared to the decrease in the 2016 year-to-date rate to be in-line with the lower projected full-year rate and the non-repeat of a deductible stockpre-tax loss. The adjustment to bring the third quarter year-to-date tax rate in-line with the full year rate decreased the tax rate relative to prior quarters of 2017 due to a decrease in projected full year pre-tax income.
The effective tax rate in future periods is expected to increase as a result of changes in ourprovision for income profile due to changes in GE Capital earnings as we continue to execute on the GE Capital Exit Plan. We expect the GE effective tax rate excluding GE Capital earnings to be in the low single digitstaxes was $0.6 billion for the full year of 2017.
See Note 13 tosix months ended June 30, 2023 and $0.2 billion for the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to income taxes.
BENEFITS FROM GLOBAL OPERATIONS
Our consolidated income tax provision is reduced because of the benefits of lower-taxed global operations. There is a benefit from global operations as non-U.S. income is subject to local country tax rates that are significantly below the 35% U.S. statutory rate. These non-U.S. earnings have been indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. and are not subject to current U.S. income tax. Most of these earnings have been reinvested in active non-U.S. business operations and we do not intend to repatriate these earnings to fund U.S. operations. The rate of tax on our indefinitely reinvested non-U.S. earnings is below the 35% U.S. statutory tax rate because we have significant business operations subject to tax in countries where the tax on that income is lower than the U.S. statutory rate and because GE funds certain non-U.S. operations through foreign companies that are subject to low foreign taxes.
A substantial portion of the benefit related to business operations subject to tax in countries where the tax on that income is lower than the U.S. statutory rate is derived from our GECAS aircraft leasing operations located in Ireland where the earnings are taxed at 12.5%, from our Power operations located in Switzerland and Hungary where the earnings are taxed at between 9% and 18.6%, and our Healthcare operations in Europe where tax deductions are allowed for certain intangible assets and earnings are taxed below the U.S. statutory rate.
We expect our ability to benefit from non-U.S. income taxed at less than the U.S. rate to continue, subject to changes in U.S. or foreign law. In addition, since this benefit depends on management’s intention to indefinitely reinvest amounts outside the U.S., our tax provision will increase to the extent we no longer indefinitely reinvest foreign earnings.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations primarily relate to our financial services businesses as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan and includes our U.S. mortgage business (WMC). All of these operations were previously reported in the Capital segment.
See Notes 2 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information related to discontinued operations.

Because GE and GE Capital share certain significant elements of their Statements of Financial Position, the following discussion addresses significant captions in the consolidated statement. Within the following discussions, however, we distinguish between GE and GE Capital activities in order to permit meaningful analysis of each individual consolidating statement.
MAJOR CHANGES IN OUR FINANCIAL POSITION FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBERsix months ended June 30, 2017
The Baker Hughes transaction increased total assets (excluding cash assumed as a result of the transaction) by $27.5 billion, primarily due to goodwill of $14.2 billion, other intangible assets of $4.4 billion, property, plant and equipment of $4.0 billion, current receivables of $2.4 billion and inventories of $2.0 billion.

The increase was partially offset by payments of dividends to shareowners of $6.3 billion, business acquisitions of $6.1 billion (net of $4.1 billion cash assumed as a result of the Baker Hughes transaction), treasury stock net purchases of $2.6 billion (cash basis), net PP&E additions of $2.2 billion, net settlements of derivative hedges of $1.4 billion, the settlement of the remaining portion of 2016 debt effected through GE Capital of $1.3 billion and additions to capitalized software of $0.4 billion. GE Capital Cash and equivalents decreased $10.6 billion primarily due to net repayments of debt of $17.6 billion, GE debt effected through GE Capital of $7.3 billion and payments of dividends to shareowners of $4.2 billion, partially offset by maturities of liquidity investments of $6.5 billion, net collections of financing receivables of $3.2 billion, cash collections from discontinued operations of $2.9 billion, proceeds from borrowings assumed by the buyer in a business disposition of $1.8 billion and the settlement of the remaining portion of 2016 GE debt effected through GE Capital of $1.3 billion.

Investment securities decreased $5.6 billion, primarily due to maturities of liquidity portfolio investments at GE Capital. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Inventories increased $1.5 billion (excluding the impact of the Baker Hughes transaction), primarily due to lower-than-anticipated sales volume, mainly in our Power segment and build for future demand in our Power, Aviation and Renewable Energy segments. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Goodwill increased $2.4 billion (excluding the impact of the Baker Hughes transaction),tax was primarily due to the effects of currency exchange of $2.3 billion, the acquisition of LM Wind Power in our Renewable Energy segment of $1.3 billion and the acquisition of ServiceMax in Digital of $0.7 billion, partially offset by the classificationtax effect of the Industrial Solutions businessincrease in pre-tax income excluding gains (losses) on our Power segment as heldretained and sold ownership interests.

MD&A | FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY |
FINANCIALCAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
FINANCIAL POLICY. We intend to maintain a disciplined financial policy with a sustainable investment-grade long-term credit rating. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company announced plans to form three industry-leading, global, investment-grade companies, each of which will determine their own financial policies, including capital allocation, dividend, mergers and acquisitions and share buyback decisions.
LIQUIDITY AND BORROWINGS
POLICY.We maintain a strong focus on liquidity. At both GEliquidity and GE Capital we managedefine our liquidity risk tolerance based on sources and uses to help provide access tomaintain a sufficient fundingliquidity position to meet our business needs and financial obligations throughout business cycles.
Ourunder both normal and stressed conditions. We believe that our consolidated liquidity and borrowing plans for GE and GE Capital are established within the context ofavailability under our annual financial and strategic planning processes. At GE,revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs.
*Non-GAAP Financial Measure
CONSOLIDATED LIQUIDITY. Our primary sources of liquidity consist of cash and funding plans take into account the liquidity necessary to fundcash equivalents, free cash flows* from our operating commitments, which include primarily purchase obligations for inventory and equipment, payroll and general expenses (including pension funding). We also take into account our capital allocation and growth objectives, including paying dividends, repurchasing shares, investing in research and development and acquiring industrial businesses. At GE, we rely primarily onbusinesses, cash generated through our operating activitiesfrom asset sales and any dividend payments from GE Capital.dispositions, and short-term borrowing facilities, including revolving credit facilities. Cash generated from operating activities at GEgeneration can be subject to variability based on many factors, including seasonality, andreceipt of down payments on large equipment orders, timing of billings on long-term contracts. GEcontracts, timing of Aerospace-related customer allowances, market conditions and our ability to execute dispositions. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $12.8 billion at June 30, 2023, of which $3.7 billion was held in the U.S. and $9.1 billion was held outside the U.S.
Cash held in non-U.S. entities has generally been reinvested in active foreign business operations; however, substantially all of our unrepatriated earnings were subject to U.S. federal tax and, if there is a change in reinvestment, we would expect to be able to repatriate available cash (excluding amounts held in countries with currency controls) without additional federal tax cost. Any foreign withholding tax on a varietyrepatriation to the U.S. would potentially be partially offset by a U.S. foreign tax credit. With regards to our announcement to form three public companies, the planning for and execution of liquidity management toolsthe separations has impacted and is expected to continue to impact indefinite reinvestment. The impact of such changes will be recorded when there is a specific change in ability and intent to reinvest earnings.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at June 30, 2023 included $1.7 billion of cash held in countries with currency control restrictions (including a total of $0.1 billion in Russia and Ukraine) and $0.4 billion of restricted use cash. Cash held in countries with currency controls represents amounts held in countries that may restrict the transfer of funds to the U.S. or limit our ability to transfer funds to the U.S. without incurring substantial costs. Restricted use cash represents amounts that are not available to fund its operations, including a commercial paper program,and primarily comprised funds restricted in connection with certain ongoing litigation matters. Excluded from cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $0.7 billion of cash in our run-off Insurance business, which was classified as well as bank operating lines and short-term intercompany loansAll other assets in the Statement of Financial Position.
During the first half of 2023, we received total proceeds of $1.9 billion from GE Capital which are repaid within the same quarter.
We maintain a detailed liquidity policy for GE Capital that defines GE Capital's liquidity risk tolerance under stress based on its liquidity sources, and a comprehensive framework for managing liquidity risk including metrics to identify and monitor liquidity risk and procedures to escalate and address potential issues.
Based on asset and liability management actions we have taken, GE Capital does not plan to issue any incremental GE Capital senior unsecured term debt until 2019. GE Capital mainly relies on excess cash positions, cash generated through dispositions, and the cash flow from our Verticals to fund our debt maturities, including the current portionsale of long-term debt ($15.6 billion at September 30, 2017), and our operating and interest costs. GE Capital's liquidity position is targeted to meet its obligations under both normal and stressed conditions.AerCap shares. We expect to maintainfully monetize our stake in AerCap over time, in an elevated liquidity position asorderly manner. During the first quarter of 2023, we generate cash from asset sales, returning to more normalized levels in 2019. During this period we expect to continue toreceived proceeds of $0.2 billion and have excess interest costs as asset sales have outpacednow fully monetized our debt maturities. While we maintain elevated liquidity levels, we may engage in liability management actions, such as buying back debt, based on market and economic conditions in order to reduce our excess interest costs.
Baker Hughes position. As part of GE’s previously formulatedthe spin-off of GE HealthCare completed in the first quarter of 2023, we retained an approximately 19.9% stake of GE HealthCare common stock. During the second quarter of 2023, we received total proceeds of $2.2 billion from the disposition of 28.8 million shares of GE HealthCare. We intend to exit our remaining stake in GE HealthCare over time, in an orderly manner. See Notes 3 and communicated plan to incur new long-term debt primarily to fund acquisitions and to refinance existing debt,19 for further information.
Following approval of a statutory permitted accounting practice in 2018 by our primary insurance regulator, the Kansas Insurance Department (KID), we issued $15.9provided a total of $13.2 billion of long-term debt in 2017. $8.6capital contributions to our insurance subsidiaries, including $1.8 billion equivalent of euro debt was issued in the external debt markets, and $7.3first quarter of 2023. We expect to provide the final capital contribution of up to $1.8 billion was done through two transactionsin the first quarter of 2024, pending completion of our December 31, 2023 statutory reporting process. See Note 13 for further information.
On March 6, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $3 billion of our common stock. In connection with GE Capital. The $8.6this authorization, we repurchased 6.2 million shares for $0.6 billion equivalent consistsduring the six months ended June 30, 2023. Additionally, during the first quarter of €1,7502023, we elected to redeem 3 million of 0.375% Notes dueour outstanding shares of GE series D preferred stock for total cash spend of $3.0 billion. On July 25, 2023, we announced our intention to redeem the remaining 2.8 million outstanding shares of GE preferred stock on September 15, 2023 for expected total cash spend of approximately $2.8 billion.
BORROWINGS. Consolidated total borrowings were $21.8 billion and $24.1 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, €2,000 millionrespectively, a decrease of 0.875% Notes due 2025, €2,250 million of 1.50% Notes due 2029 and €2,000 million of 2.125% Notes due 2037. In lieu of issuing the $7.3$2.3 billion. The reduction in borrowings was driven by $2.6 billion of net maturities and repayments of debt, externallypartially offset by $0.3 billion primarily related to changes in the capital markets, GE effected the transactions through GE Capital because GE Capital is holding excess debt as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan. The debt transactions with GE Capital were priced at markets terms with a weighted average interest rate of 3.5% and a weighted average term of 15 years. To effectuate these transactions, GE and GE Capital entered into intercompany transactions that had the effect of reducing the intercompany payables and receivables given the right of offset between GE and GE Capital by $7.3 billion, as shownforeign exchange rates.
We have in the table below.
In 2015, senior unsecured notes and commercial paper were assumed by GE upon its merger with GE Capital resulting in an intercompany receivable and payable between GE and GE Capital. On the GE Statement of Financial Position, assumed debt is presented within borrowings with an offsetting receivable from GE Capital and on the GE Capital Statement of Financial Position, this is reflected as an intercompany payable to GE within borrowings. As of September 30, 2017, the amount of assumed outstanding debt was $49.9 billion (see Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information). The following table illustrates total GE and GE Capital external debt and debt assumed by GE as of September 30, 2017.

We securitize financial assets as an alternative source of funding. At September 30, 2017, consolidated non-recourse securitization borrowings were $0.7 billion.
FOREIGN CURRENCY
As a result of our global operations, we generate and incur a significant portion of our revenues and expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Such principal currencies are euro, the pound sterling, the Brazilian real and the Chinese renminbi. The results of operating entities reported in currencies other than U.S. dollar are translated to the U.S. dollar at the applicable exchange rate for inclusion in the financial statements. We use a number of techniques to manage the effects of currency exchange, including selective borrowings in local currencies and selective hedging of significant cross-currency transactions. The foreign currency effect arising from operating activities outside of the U.S., including the remeasurement of derivatives, can result in significant transactional foreign currency fluctuations at points in time, but will generally be offset as the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations, decreased net earnings by $0.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS - NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 VERSUS 2016
CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOWS
We evaluate our cash flow performance by reviewing our industrial (non-GE Capital) businesses and GE Capital businesses separately. Cash from operating activities (CFOA) is the principal source of cash generation for our industrial businesses.
GE CASH FLOWS – NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30
(in billions)
With respect to GE CFOA, we believe that it is useful to supplement our GE Statement of Cash Flows and to examine in a broader context the business activities that provide and require cash.
FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. The most significant source of cash in GE CFOA is customer-related activities, the largest of which is collecting cash resulting from product or services sales. The most significant operating use of cash is to pay our suppliers, employees, tax authorities and others for a wide rangepostretirement plans.
Cash from operating activities was $0.5 billion in 2023, an increase of material and services. Dividends from GE Capital represent the distribution of a portion of GE Capital retained earnings, and are distinct from cash from continuing operations within the GE Capital businesses.
All other operating activities reflect cash sources and uses as well as non-cash adjustments$0.9 billion compared to 2022, primarily due to: an increase in net income including those(after adjusting for depreciation of property, plant, and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash (gains) losses related to taxes, interest, pension, contract assetsour retained and gains (losses) on principal business dispositions.

INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN GE AND GE CAPITAL
We are repositioning GE to be the world’s best infrastructure and technology company, with a smaller financial services division. Our focus is on driving infrastructure leadership, investing in innovation and achieving a culture of simplification to better serve our customers around the world. Over the last decade, we have made significant strides in transforming our portfolio and focusing on our industrial leadership. We have grown our infrastructure platforms with major portfolio moves, investing in adjacencies and pursuing opportunities that are closely related to our core.
In parallel, we have made a concentrated effort to reduce the size of our GE Capital business and align its growth with Industrial earnings. As a result, GE Capital Verticals are now focused on investing financial, human and intellectual capital to promote growth for our industrial businesses and their customers. GE Capital accomplishes this in part through related party transactions with GE that are made on an arms-length basis and are reported in the respective GE and GE Capital columns of our financial statements, but are eliminated in deriving our consolidated financial statements. These transactions include, but are not limited to, the following:
GE Capital dividends to GE,
GE Capital working capital solutions to optimize GE cash management,
GE Capital enabled GE industrial orders, including related GE guarantees to GE Capital, and
Aircraft engines, power equipment, renewable energy equipment and healthcare equipment manufactured by GE that are installed on GE Capital investments, including leased equipment.
In addition to the above transactions that primarily enable growth for the GE businesses, there are routine related party transactions, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
Expenses related to parent-subsidiary pension plans,
Buildings and equipment leased between GE and GE Capital, including sale-leaseback transactions,
Information technology (IT) and other services sold to GE Capital by GE
Settlements of tax liabilities, and
Various investments, loans and allocations of GE corporate overhead costs.
CASH FLOWS
GE Capital paid $4.0 billion and $16.1 billion of common dividends to GE in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
In order to manage credit exposure, GE sells current receivables to GE Capital and other third parties in part to fund the growth of our industrial businesses. These transactions can result in cash generation or cash use. During any given period, GE receives cash from the sale of receivables to GE Capital and other third parties. GE also leverages GE Capital for its expertise in receivables collection services and sales of receivables to GE Capital are made on an arm’s length basis. The incremental amount of cash received from sales of receivables represents the cash generated or used in the period relating to this activity. The effect of cash generated in GE CFOA from current receivables sold to GE Capital, including current receivables subsequently sold to third parties, decreased GE’s CFOA by $2.3 billion and $0.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017, GE Capital had approximately $11.2 billion recorded on its balance sheet related to current receivables purchased from GE. Of these amounts, approximately half had been sold by GE to GE Capital with recourse (i.e., the GE business retains the risk of default). The evaluation of whether recourse transactions qualify for accounting derecognition is based, in part, upon the legal jurisdiction of the sale; as such, the majority of recourse transactions outside the U.S. qualify for sale treatment. Claims by GE Capital on receivables sold with recourse to GE have not been significant for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
In December 2016, GE Capital entered into a Receivables Facility with members of a bank group, designed to provide extra liquidity to GE. The Receivables Facility allows us to sell eligible current receivables on a non-recourse basis for cash and a deferred purchase price to members of the bank group. The purchase commitment of the bank group increased from $3.0 billion to $3.2 billion during the third quarter of 2017. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.

ENABLED ORDERS
Enabled orders represent the act of introducing, elevating and influencing customers and prospects that result in an industrial sale, potentially coupled with programmatic captive financing or driving incremental products or services across the GE Store. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, GE Capital enabled $8.8 billion and $8.2 billion of GE industrial orders, respectively. 2017 orders are primarily with our Power ($3.3 billion), Renewable Energy ($3.3 billion), Healthcare ($1.0 billion) and Oil & Gas ($0.7 billion) businesses.
AVIATION
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, GE Capital acquired 34 aircraft (list price totaling $4.6 billion) and 32 aircraft (list price totaling $4.7 billion), respectively, from third parties that will be leased to others, which are powered by engines that were manufactured by GE Aviation and affiliates. Additionally, GE Capital had $1.5 billion of net book value of engines, originally manufactured by GE Aviation and affiliates and subsequently leased back to GE Aviation and affiliates at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
POWER, RENEWABLE ENERGY AND AVIATION
GE leverages GE Capital for its expertise in structuring long-term financing arrangements with certain Power, Renewable Energy and Aviation customers for the purchase of equipment, upgrades and long-term service contracts. These arrangements are made on an arm’s length basis and any fair value adjustments are recognized within the results of our Power, Renewable Energy and Aviation segments. Any associated deferred income recorded by GE Capital is eliminated in our consolidated results. In relation to these arrangements, GE Capital had approximately $2.3 billion and $1.9 billion of long-term financing receivables outstanding, net of deferred income of approximately $0.3 billion and $0.3 billion reported on its balance sheet at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The effect of cash generated in GE CFOA from long-term financing arrangements with GE Capital increased GE's CFOA by $0.4 billion and $1.0 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
PENSIONS
GE Capital is a member of certain GE Pension Plans. As a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, GE Capital will have additional funding obligations for these pension plans. These obligations do not relate to the Verticals and are recognized as an expense in GE Capital’s other continuing operations when they become probable and estimable. The additional funding obligations recognized by GE Capital were an insignificant amount and $0.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $0.1 billion and $0.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
Certain of this additional funding is recorded as a contra pension expense for GE because GE’s related future pension obligations will be paid by GE Capital. For certain other pension plan funding obligations triggered by the GE Capital Exit Plan, GE agreed to assume the funding obligation that would have been triggered by GE Capital at the date of exit from the plan in exchange for an assumption fee that GE recorded as Other income. There was no cash transferred to GE for the assumption of these GE Capital funding obligations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The total cash transferred for similar funding obligations assumed by GE from GE Capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were zero and $0.1 billion, respectively.
On a consolidated basis, the additional required pension funding and any related assumption fees do not affect current period earnings. Any additional required pension funding will be reflected as a reduction of the pension liability when paid.
GE GUARANTEE OF GE CAPITAL THIRD-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In certain instances, GE provides guarantees to GE Capital transactions with third parties primarily in connection with enabled orders. In order to meet its underwriting criteria, GE Capital may obtain a direct guarantee from GE related to the performance of the third party. GE guarantees can take many forms and may include, but not be limited to, direct performance or payment guarantees, return on investment guarantees, asset value guarantees and loss pool arrangements. As of September 30, 2017, GE had outstanding guarantees to GE Capital on $1.5 billion of funded exposure and $1.2 billion of unfunded commitments. The recorded amount of these contingent liabilities was $0.1 billion as of September 30, 2017 and is dependent upon individual transaction level defaults, losses and/or returns.
GE GUARANTEE OF CERTAIN GE CAPITAL DEBT
GE provides implicit and explicit support to GE Capital through commitments, capital contributions and operating support. As previously discussed, debt assumed by GE from GE Capitalissuance in connection with the mergerspin-off of GE Capital into GE was $49.9 billion, and GE guaranteed $44.5 billion of GE Capital debt at September 30, 2017. See Notes 10 and 20 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.$2.0 billion.

MD&A | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We utilized significant estimates in the preparation of the third quarter financial statements.
Please referESTIMATES.Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates section within MD&A and Note 1, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements of our Form 10-K Report filed on February 24, 2017, for a discussion of our accounting policies and the critical accounting estimates we use to: recognize revenue on long-term product services agreements; assess the recoverability of assets such as financing receivables and goodwill; determine the fair value of financial assets; and determine our provision for income taxes and recoverability of deferred tax assets.
INSURANCE AND INVESTMENT CONTRACT LIABILITIES
Insurance and investment contract liabilities amounted to $26.6 billion and $26.1 billion at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively and primarily comprise a liability for future policy benefits for those claims not yet incurred and claim reserves for claims that have been incurred or are estimated to have been incurred but not yet reported. Reserves ceded to reinsurers were $2.2 billion and $2.0 billion at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively and are included in the caption “Other receivables” on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
Claim reserves amounted to $4.9 billion and $4.6 billion of which $3.4 billion and $3.1 billion relates to long-term care insurance contracts as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Claim reserves are established when a claim is incurred or is estimated to have been incurred and represents our best estimate of the ultimate obligations for future claim payments and claim adjustment expenses. Key inputs include actual known facts about the claims, such as the benefits available and cause of disability of the claimant, as well as assumptions derived from our actual historical experience and expected future changes in experience factors. Claim reserves are evaluated periodically for potential changes in loss estimates with the support of qualified actuaries and any changes are recorded in the period in which they are determined.
Future policy benefit reserves amounted to $19.2 billion and $18.7 billion of which $9.0 billion and $8.7 billion relates to long-term care insurance contracts at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These reserves represent the present value of such benefits less the present value of future net premiums and are based on actuarial assumptions established at the time the policies were issued or acquired. These assumptions include, but are not limited to interest rates, health care experience (including type and cost of care), mortality, and the length of time a policy will remain in force. Our annual premium deficiency testing assesses the adequacy of future policy benefit reserves, net of capitalized acquisition costs using current assumptions. As we no longer originate new policies, we perform premium deficiency testing in the aggregate across our run-off insurance products.
We have recently experienced elevated claim experience for a portion of our long-term care insurance contracts, which is most pronounced for policyholders with higher attained ages. As a result, and as described below, we are conducting a comprehensive review of premium deficiency assumptions across all insurance products, including a reassessment of future claim projections for long-term care contracts that will be incorporated within our annual test of future policy benefit reserves for premium deficiencies, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017.
A comprehensive review of premium deficiency assumptions is a complex process and depends on a number of factors, many of which are interdependent and require evaluation individually and in the aggregate across all insurance products. The vast majority of our run-off insurance activities comprises reinsurance from multiple ceding insurance entities with underlying treaties having unique terms and conditions. Premium deficiency testing relies on claim and policy information provided by these ceding entities and considers each of the unique treaties. In order to utilize that information for purposes of completing experience studies covering all key assumptions, we perform detailed procedures to conform and validate the data received, including periodic evaluation of the operating environment at ceding entities. Our long-term care business includes coverage where credible claim experience for higher attained ages is still emerging and to the extent that recent experience deviates from previous expectations, new projections of claim costs extending over the expected life of the policies require development. Significant uncertainties exist in making these best estimate projections for these long-duration insurance contracts that includes consideration of a wide range of possible outcomes as well as actuarial peer reviews before a final determination can be made.
Should the net liability for future policy benefits plus the present value of expected future gross premiums be insufficient to provide for the present value of expected future policy benefits and expenses, we would be required to reduce any remaining capitalized acquisition costs and, to the extent a shortfall still exists, increase our existing future policy benefit reserves. We would record a charge to earnings for any premium deficiencies in the fourth quarter of 2017 upon completion of this review. Based upon the work performed to date and complexity of the review described above, a charge related to a probable deficiency is not reasonably estimable at September 30, 2017. Until the above described review has been completed we have deferred the decision whether GE Capital will pay additional dividends to GE.
See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements of this report and Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements inof our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162022 and revised portions of our 2022 Form 10-K on Form 8-K as filed on April 25, 2023 for additional discussion of accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, including accounting estimates and assumptions in our insurance reserves and their sensitivity to change. See Notes 1 and 13 for further information.
OTHER ITEMS
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
ASU NO. 2016-16, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES: INTRA-ENTITY TRANSFERS OF ASSETS OTHER THAN INVENTORY
In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-16, Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. The ASU eliminates the deferralNON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES.We believe that presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides management and investors useful measures to evaluate performance and trends of the tax effects of intra-entity asset transfers other than inventory. As a result, the tax expense from the intercompany sale of assets, other than inventory, and associated changes to deferred taxes will be recognized when the sale occurs even though the pre-tax effects of the transaction have not been recognized. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. The effect of the adoption of the standard will depend on the nature and amount of future transactions but is currently expected as an increase to retained earnings of approximately $0.4 billion. Future earnings will be reduced in total by this amount. The effect of the change on future transactions will depend on the nature of those transactions as it will affect the timing of recognition of both tax expense and tax benefits, with no change in associated cash flows.
ASU NO. 2016-15, STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard requires that cash receipts from payments on a transferor’s beneficial interests in securitized trade receivables should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. A retrospective transition approach is required. Note 4 to the Financial Statements describes the DPP created by the Receivables Facility. We currently report cash receipts from the purchasing entities to reduce their DPP obligation to the Company as cash inflows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
ASU NO. 2016-02, LEASES
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. While we continue to evaluate the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting, we anticipate that the adoption of the ASU may materially affect our Statement of Financial Position.
ASU NO. 2014-09, REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
BACKGROUND
In May 2014, the FASB issued a new comprehensive set of revenue recognition principles (ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers) that supersedes most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance (including ASC 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts). The new standard will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018, will apply it retrospectively to all periods presented and will elect the practical expedient for contract modifications. Since the issuance of the new standard by the FASB, we have engaged in a collaborative process with our industry peers and worked with standard setters on important interpretive matters with the objective of ensuring consistency in the application of the standard.
TRANSITION METHOD FOR APPLYING THE NEW STANDARD
Companies can use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective method to adopt the standard. Under the full retrospective method, all periods presented will be updated upon adoption to conform to the new standard and a cumulative adjustment for effects on periods prior to 2016 will be recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2016. Under the modified retrospective approach, prior periods are not updated to be presented on an accounting basis that is consistent with 2018. Rather, a cumulative adjustment for effects of applying the new standard to periods prior to 2018 is recorded to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Because only 2018 revenues reflect application of the new standard, incremental disclosures are required to present the 2018 revenues under the prior standard.
As noted above, we have elected to apply the full retrospective approach. We chose that approach because we believe that it is the most helpful to our investors. First and foremost, when we adopt the standard in 2018 we will provide investors with a consistent view of historical trends, as 2016 and 2017 will be on a basis consistent with 2018.
CHANGE IN TIMING AND PRESENTATION, NO IMPACT TO CASH OR ECONOMICS
The new standard requires companies to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time based on when control of goods and services transfer to a customer. As a result, we expect significant changes in the presentation of our financial statements, including: (1) timing of revenue recognition, and (2) changes in classification between revenue and costs. The new standard will have no cash impact and, as such, does not affect the economics of our underlying customer contracts. The effect of applying the new guidance to our existing book of contracts will result in lower reported earnings in 2018 (and comparative periods previously reported) and in the early years after adoption. However, we expect to experience an increase in reported earnings, on that existing book of contracts, as they mature. The new standard will provide for a better alignment of cash and earnings for the affected long-term customer contracts and we expect that it will enhance comparability across industry peers.
SPECIFIC EFFECT ON GE BUSINESSES
Power and Aviation Service Agreements - For our long-term product service agreements, primarily in our Power and Aviation businesses, we expect to continue to recognize revenue based on costs incurred plus an estimated margin rate (over time model). However, the new standard provides prescriptive guidance tied to several factors for determining what constitutes the proper scope of a customer contract for accounting purposes. These factors include optional purchases, contract modifications, and termination clauses. For example, under the new standard contract modifications will be accounted for prospectively by recognizing the financial effect of the modification over the remaining life of the contract. Under existing accounting guidance revisions to estimated margin rates resulting from modifications were reflected as cumulative effect adjustments to earnings in the current period.
Aviation Commercial Engines - Consistent with industry peers, the financial presentation of our Aviation Commercial engines business will be significantly affected as they will be accounted for as of a point in time, which is a change from our current long-term contract accounting process. Our current process applies contract-specific estimated margin rates, which include the effect of estimated cost improvements, to costs incurred. This change is required because our commercial engine contracts do not transfer control to the customer during the manufacturing process. Each install and spare engine will be accounted for as a separate performance obligation, reflecting the actual price and manufacturing costs of such engines. We expect that the most significant effect of this change will be reflected when we have new engine launches, where the cost of earlier production units is higher than the cost of later production units because of cost improvements.
All Other Large Equipment - For the remainder of our equipment businesses, the new revenue standard requires emphasis on transfer of control rather than risks and rewards, which may accelerate timing of revenue recognition versus our current practices. For example, in our Renewable Energy business we wait for risk of loss to be assumed by the customer before recognizing revenue, which generally occurs later than when control is transferred.
CURRENT RANGE OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT EFFECT
We will adopt the new standard as of January 1, 2018. When we report our 2018 results, the comparative results for 2017 and 2016 will be updated to reflect the application of the requirements of the new standard to these periods. Based on our assessment and best estimates to date, we expect a non-cash charge to our January 1, 2016 retained earnings balance of approximately $4.3 billion. We estimate that the charge will comprise approximately $1.0 billion related to commercial aircraft engines and $3.3 billion related primarily to our services businesses (predominately in Power and Aviation). Beyond those effects, we expect application of the new guidance will result in increases and decreases in revenue within our segments, which will largely offset overall and will be immaterial at a total company level. We estimate thatand its businesses. This includes adjustments in recent periods to GAAP financial measures to increase period-to-period comparability following actions to strengthen our 2016 restated earnings per share will be lower by approximately $0.13, driven primarily by the required changes in accounting for long-term product service arrangements as described above. The expected effect to 2016 earnings per share reflects an increase from the previously reported estimate of approximately $0.10 due to further refinements in the application ofoverall financial position and how we manage our technical interpretations and our detailed assessments at a contract level, which is a complex process for our long-term contracts.business. In addition, the impact on 2017 will also be a decrease to earnings; however, we are unable to completemanagement recognizes that calculation until we finalize our 2017 results. Upon adoption in 2018, our books and records will only reflect the results as required under the new standard limiting our ability to estimate the effect of the standard on our earnings. Given the inherent difficulty in this ongoing estimation of the effect of the standard on any future periods, we do not plan to continue to assess the effect on 2018.
To summarize, we will adopt the new standard in 2018, at which time we will update prior periods to be presented on a consistent basis. As discussed above, we anticipate a dilutive effect of the new standard in the year of adoption consistent with the effect to the restated 2016 and 2017 results and the effect will be less dilutive for years after initial adoption. However, this expectation is based on many variables, including underlying business performance, which are subject to change, making the effect of the standard on future periods difficult to estimate. Importantly, application of the new guidance has no effect on the cash we expect to receive nor the economics of these contracts. Rather, it will simply more closely align revenue with cash, which we believe will be helpful to our investors.
GE DIGITAL
GE Digital's activities are focused on assisting in the market development of our digital product offerings through software design, fulfillment and product management, while also interfacing with our customers. Digital revenues include internally developed software and associated hardware, including Predix and software solutions that improve our customers’ asset performance. These revenues and associated costs are largely generated from our operating businesses and are included in their segment results.
Revenues were $1.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $0.1 billion or 6% compared to revenues of $0.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Revenues were $2.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $0.3 billion or 11% compared to revenues of $2.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These increases were principally driven by Power and Non-GE Verticals.
Orders were $1.4 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $0.4 billion or 50% compared to orders of $0.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Orders were $3.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $0.9 billion or 32% compared to orders of $2.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These increases were principally driven by Oil & Gas, Non-GE Verticals, Power and Renewable Energy.
VENEZUELA
Although we continue to experience delays in collecting payments on our receivables from our primary customer in Venezuela, our outstanding receivables are not disputed, and we continue to believe that our carrying value of these receivables are recoverable. In assessing the recoverability of these receivables, we considered our collection experience with this customer. To date we have had no material write-offs related to this customer and have collected approximately $67 million in 2017 and $103 million in 2016. In addition, we consider: the continued importance to the Venezuelan economy of oil production; our strategic relationship with this customer; our current activity levels and our current intention to continue to provide services to this customer; the impact of cross-default provisions within the loan agreements with the customer; and an evaluation of this customer’s financial solvency. We continue to actively manage our relationship with this customer, with ongoing dialogue between key executives of both companies.
As of September 30, 2017, our net exposure to this customer is approximately $260 million. The primary component of this exposure is in GE Capital, which has outstanding financing receivables with a gross value of $210 million and a carrying value of $162 million at September 30, 2017. GE has guaranteed the collectability of these receivables to GE Capital. This exposure also includes approximately $60 million of on-hand inventory that we may not be able to redeploy to other customers should the contracts with this customer be terminated unexpectedly, and net trade receivables of approximately $40 million ($266 million gross value). In 2015 and 2016, we exchanged $257 million and $194 million, respectively, of customer accounts receivable for interest bearing promissory notes with a par value of the same amount. As part of these exchanges, GE recognized a pre-tax loss of $135 million to recognize the notes at fair value. Through the second quarter of 2017, GE recorded approximately $40 million of interest and discount accretion on these loans as no payments were past due and these financing receivables are cross-defaulted with other outstanding customer debt. At September 30, 2017 payments of $52 million were past due and while the majority of these payments were received subsequent to the end of the quarter, due to the difficulties in receiving payment GE placed these loans on nonaccrual status and performed an impairment review of these loans, which supported the carrying value at September 30, 2017.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, GE recorded a bad debt reserve and receivables write offs on other customer receivables of $62 million and an impairment of two buildings of $26 million.
We believe our collectability assumptions to be reasonable according to the current facts and circumstances and they are reviewed on a quarterly basis. However, differences in actual experience or changes in facts and circumstances may materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Our assumptions and related judgments are sensitive to the political and economic conditions in Venezuela. If conditions in Venezuela worsen or if low commodity prices persist for an extended period, wecertain non-GAAP terms may be required to record adjustments to our receivables balance. Our financial results can be affected, positively or negatively,interpreted differently by changes in our assessment of the collectability of these trade receivables.

The Company is making the following disclosure pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, enacted in 2012, GE is required to disclose in its periodic reports if it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in business activities relating to Iran, even if those activities are conducted in accordance with authorizations subsequently issued by the U.S. Government. Reportable activities include investments that significantly enhance Iran’s ability to develop petroleum resources valued at $20 million or more in the aggregate during a twelve-month period. Reporting is also required for transactions related to Iran’s domestic production of refined petroleum products or Iran’s ability to import refined petroleum products valued at $5 million or more in the aggregate during a twelve-month period.
different circumstances. In January 2016, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) issued General License H authorizing U.S.-owned or controlled foreign entities to engage in transactions with Iran if these entities meet the requirements of the general license. Pursuant to this authorization, a non-U.S. affiliate of GE’s Oil & Gas business received five purchase orders during the third quarter of 2017 for the sale of goods pursuant to General License H that could potentially enhance Iran’s ability to develop petroleum resources. The purchase orders cover the sale of valves and parts for industrial machinery and equipment used in gas plants, petrochemical plants and gas production projects in Iran. These purchase orders are valued at €0.1million ($0.1 million), €0.5 million ($0.5 million), €0.2 million ($0.2 million), €0.1 million ($0.1 million), €1.3 million ($1.5 million). This non-US affiliate also booked a modification of a previously reported contract for the sale of spare parts for gas turbines to add additional scope valued at €0.1 million ($0.1 million) and a further modification to another previously reported contract for the sale of spare parts to reduce the value of the contract by €1.6 million ($1.8 million). This non-US affiliate attributed €1.5 million ($1.8 million) in gross revenues and €0.8 million ($0.9 million) in net profits against previously reported transactions during the quarter ending September 30, 2017.
A second non-U.S. affiliate of GE’s Oil & Gas business received two purchase orders during the third quarter of 2017 for the sale of consumable parts, instruments and a digital recording system to be applied to industrial machinery and equipment on gas plants. The purchase orders are valued at €0.1 million ($0.1 million) and €0.1 million ($0.1 million). This non-US affiliate attributed €0.3 million ($0.3 million) in gross revenues and €0.1 million ($0.1 million) in net profits to these transactions during the quarter ending September 30, 2017.
A non-U.S. affiliate of GE’s Power business received a cancellation to a purchase order previously reported for the sale of spare parts to an Iranian entity to provide electricity and steam to an area of Iran that includes certain oil refineries during the quarter ending September 30, 2017. This purchase order cancellation reduces the value by €16.2 million ($18.1 million). This non-US affiliate also received a modification to a previously reported purchase order for the sale of spare parts to reduce the value of the purchase order by €1.3 million ($1.5 million). This non-US affiliate also attributed €4.8 million ($5.7 million) in gross revenues and €3.1 million ($3.7 million) in net profits during the quarter ending September 30, 2017.
A second non-US affiliate of GE’s Power business received three purchase orders pursuant to General License H valued at €0.1 million ($0.1 million), €0.1 million ($0.1 million) and €0.2 million ($0.2 million) during the third quarter of 2017. The purchase orders cover the sale of protection relays for oil refinery related projects in Iran. This non-US affiliate did not recognize any revenue or profit during the quarter ending September 30, 2017.
A third non-US affiliate of GE’s Power business received two purchase orders pursuant to General License H valued at €0.1 million ($0.1 million) and €0.1 million ($0.1 million) during the third quarter of 2017. The purchase orders cover the sale of spare parts for motors for ultimate end use by a petro-chemical company in Iran. This non-US affiliate did not recognize any revenue or profit during the quarter ending September 30, 2017.
All of these non-U.S. affiliates intend to continue the activities described above, as permitted by all applicable laws and regulations.

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.
We also believe that the variability in the revenue of our Power and Oil & Gas businesses may obscure underlying trends of our other industrial businesses. As a result, we have also presented our organic revenue growth measure excluding the revenues of our Power and Oil & Gas businesses.

We have provided the operating and non-operating components of cost for our principal pension plans. Operating pension cost comprise the service cost of benefits earned, prior service cost amortization and curtailment loss (gain) for our principal pension plans. Non-operating pension cost comprise the expected return on plan assets, interest cost on benefit obligations and net actuarial loss amortization for our principal pension plans. We believe that the operating components of pension cost better reflects the ongoing service-related cost of providing pension benefits to our employees. We believe that the operating and non-operating components of cost for our principal pension plans, considered along with the corresponding GAAP measure, provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our pension plan cost and operating results with the pension plan cost and operating results of other companies.

Operating corporate costs exclude non-service-related pension costs of our principal pension plans, which comprise interest costs, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains/losses. Service cost, prior service cost and curtailment loss components of our principal pension plans are included in operating corporate costs. We believe that these components of pension cost better reflect the ongoing service-related costs of providing pension benefits to our employees. Accordingly, we believe that our measure of operating corporate costs provides management and investors with a useful measure of the operational costs incurred outside of our businesses. We believe that this measure, considered along with the corresponding GAAP measure, provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating corporate costs to the operating corporate costs of other companies.
We also believe that adjusting operating corporate costs to exclude the effects of items that are not closely associated with ongoing corporate operations, such as earnings of previously divested businesses, gains and losses on disposed and held for sale businesses, and restructuring and other charges, provides management and investors with a meaningful measure that increases the period-to-period comparability of our ongoing corporate costs.

We believe that the GE effective tax rate is best analyzed in relation to GE earnings before income taxes excluding the GE Capital net earnings from continuing operations, as GE tax expense does not include taxes on GE Capital earnings. Management believes that in addition to the Consolidated and GE Capital tax rates shown in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, this supplemental measure provides investors with useful information as it presents the GE effective tax rate that can be used in comparing the GE results to other non-financial services businesses.

Operating earnings (loss) excludes non-service related pension cost of our principal pension plans, comprising interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains/losses. The service cost, prior service cost and curtailment loss components of our principal pension plans are included in operating earnings. We believe that these components of pension cost better reflect the ongoing service-related cost of providing pension benefits to our employees. As such, we believe that our measure of operating earnings (loss) provides management and investors with a useful measure of the operational results of our business. Other components of GAAP pension cost are mainly driven by capital allocation decisions and market performance, and we manage these separately from the operational performance of our businesses. Neither GAAP nor operating pension cost are necessarily indicative of the current or future cash flow requirements related to our pension plans. We believe that this measure, considered along with the corresponding GAAP measure, provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies. We also believe that presenting operating earnings separately for our industrial businesses provides management and investors with useful information about the relative size of our industrial and financial services businesses in relation to the total company.

(a) | Includes interest on non-Verticals borrowings, restructuring costs and allocations of GE and GE Capital headquarters costs in excess of those allocated to the Verticals. |
| |
(b) | Verticals include businesses expected to be retained (GECAS, Energy Financial Services, Industrial Finance, and run-off insurance activities), including allocated corporate after-tax costs of $25 million in both the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and $75 million in both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. |
| |
(c) | Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total. |
As described above, Verticals represents the GE Capital businesses that we expect to retain. We believe that presenting Industrial operating + Verticals earnings-per-share amounts provides management and investors with a useful measure to evaluate the performance of the businesses we expect to retain after the disposition of most of our financial services business.

We have presented our Industrial operating profit and operating profit margin excluding gains, non-operating pension cost, restructuring and other charges and noncontrolling interests. We believe that Industrial operating profit and operating profit margin adjusted for these items are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results. In addition, we have presented our industrial operating profit measure excluding the segment profit of the Power business and the segment profit of the Oil & Gas business, excluding restructuring and other charges as we believe that the variability in the operating profit of our Power and Oil & Gas businesses may obscure underlying trends of our other industrial businesses.

We define “Industrial CFOA” as GE’s cash from operating activities (continuing operations) less the amount of dividends received by GE from GE Capital. This reflects the effects of intercompany transactions, which include, but are not limited to, the following: GE Capital working capital solutions to optimize GE cash management; GE Capital enabled GE industrial orders; aircraft engines, power equipment, renewable energy equipment and healthcare equipment manufactured by GE that are installed on GE Capital investments, including leased equipment; expenses related to parent-subsidiary pension plans; buildings and equipment leased between GE and GE Capital, including sale-leaseback transactions; information technology (IT) and other services sold to GE Capital by GE; and various investments, loans and allocations of GE corporate overhead costs.
We believe that investors may find it useful to compare GE's operating cash flows without the effect of GE Capital dividends, since these dividends are not representative of the operating cash flows of our industrial businesses and can vary from period-to-period based upon the results of the financial services businesses. We also believe that investors may find it useful to compare Industrial CFOA excluding the effects of deal taxes paid related to the 2016 Appliances sale, the 2017 Baker Hughes transaction and contributions to our GE Pension Plan. Management recognizes that these measures may not be comparable to cash flow results of companies which contain both industrial and financial services businesses, but believes that this comparison is aided by the provision of additional information about the amounts of dividends paid by our financial services business and the separate presentation in our financial statements of the GE Capital cash flows. We believe that our measure of Industrial CFOA and Industrial CFOA excluding deal-related taxes and GE Pension Plan contributions provides management and investors with useful measures to compare the capacity of our industrial operations to generate operating cash flow with the operating cash flow of other non-financial businesses and companies and as such provides useful measures to supplement the reported GAAP CFOA measure.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The following information supplements and amends our discussion set forth under “Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.
WMC. There are 5 lawsuits in which our discontinued U.S. mortgage business, WMC, is a party. The adverse parties in these cases are securitization trustees or parties claiming to act on their behalf. While the alleged claims for relief vary from case to case, the complaints and counterclaims in these actions generally assert claims for breach of contract, indemnification, and/or declaratory judgment, and seek specific performance (repurchase) and/or monetary damages. Beginning in the fourth quarter 2013, WMC entered into settlements that reduced its exposure on claims asserted in certain securitizations, and the claim amounts reported herein reflect the effect of these settlements.
At September 30, 2017, five WMC cases were pending in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut. Four of these cases were initiated in 2012, and one was initiated in the third quarter 2013. Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (Deutsche Bank) is the adverse party in four cases, and TMI Trust Company (TMI), as successor to Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, is the adverse party in one case. The Deutsche Bank complaints assert claims on approximately $4,300 million of mortgage loans and seek to recover damages in excess of approximately $1,800 million. The TMI complaint asserts claims on approximately $800 million of mortgage loans, and alleges losses on these loans in excess of approximately $425 million. In September 2016, WMC and Deutsche Bank agreed to settle all claims arising out of the four securitizations at issue in the Connecticut lawsuits, subject to judicial approvals. In October 2016, Deutsche Bank filed petitions for instruction in California state court seeking judicial instructions that Deutsche Bank’s entry into the settlement agreements was a reasonable exercise of its discretion and approving the distribution of settlement proceeds pursuant to the terms of each trust’s governing documents. No bondholder in any of these securitizations has objected to the proposed settlements. On July 17, 2017, the court entered a judgment and order granting Deutsche Bank’s petitions. The period to file an appeal expired October 9, 2017, and the underlying lawsuits were dismissed by stipulation on October 13, 2017. On August 25, 2017, the presiding judge in the TMI case entered an order setting a trial date of January 16, 2018.
Four cases are pending against WMC in New York State Supreme Court, all of which were initiated by securitization trustees or securities administrators. These cases involve, in the aggregate, claims involving approximately $4,559 million of mortgage loans. One of these lawsuits was initiated by Deutsche Bank in the second quarter 2013 and names as defendants WMC and Barclays Bank PLC. It involves claims against WMC on approximately $1,000 million of mortgage loans and does not specify the amount of damages sought. In September 2016, WMC and Deutsche Bank agreed to settle all claims arising out of the two securitizations at issue in this lawsuit, subject to judicial approvals. In October 2016, Deutsche Bank filed petitions for instruction in California state court seeking judicial instructions that Deutsche Bank’s entry into the settlement agreements was a reasonable exercise of its discretion and approving the distribution of settlement proceeds pursuant to the terms of each trust’s governing documents. Bondholders in these two securitizations have filed objections to the proposed settlements and are seeking discovery in connection with their objections. The court has scheduled the next hearing on these objections for December 8, 2017. The second case, in which the plaintiff is The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY), was initiated in the fourth quarter 2012 and names as defendants WMC, J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. BNY asserts claims on approximately $1,300 million of mortgage loans, and seeks to recover damages in excess of $650 million. In the second quarter, WMC and J.P. Morgan reached an agreement with the securitization trustee to settle this case, subject to court approval, and the trustee filed an action in Minnesota state court seeking such approval on July 11, 2017. The court held an initial hearing in this matter on September 11, 2017, at which no bondholder objected to the settlement, and entered an order approving the settlement on October 4, 2017. With this settlement now final, we expect the underlying lawsuit will be dismissed in the fourth quarter. The third case was initiated by BNY in November 2013 and names as defendants WMC, J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. In this case, BNY asserts claims on approximately $1,300 million of mortgage loans, and seeks to recover damages in excess of $600 million. On September 18, 2015, the court granted defendants’ motion to dismiss this case on statute of limitations grounds, and the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal on October 21, 2015. On May 11, 2017, the intermediate appellate court affirmed the dismissal of WMC, and the plaintiff is seeking leave to appeal this decision to the New York Court of Appeals. The fourth case was filed in October 2014 and names as defendants WMC, J.P. Morgan Mortgage Acquisition Corporation and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The plaintiff, BNY, asserts claims on approximately $959 million of mortgage loans and seeks to recover damages in excess of $475 million. On September 7, 2016, the court granted WMC’s motion to dismiss this case on statute of limitations grounds, and an appeal from this decision is pending in the intermediate appellate court. The latter two cases have been stayed pending the outcome of ongoing settlement negotiations.

At September 30, 2017, one case was pending against WMC in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The case was initiated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) in the fourth quarter 2012. In the second quarter 2013, Deutsche Bank, in its role as securitization trustee, intervened as a plaintiff and filed a complaint relating to approximately $1,300 million of loans and alleging losses in excess of approximately $100 million. In December 2013, the District Court issued an order denying WMC’s motion to dismiss but, on its own motion, ordered re-briefing on several issues raised by WMC’s motion to dismiss in February 2015. On July 10, 2015, the District Court entered an order dismissing the lawsuit as time-barred under the applicable statute of limitations. Deutsche Bank filed a notice of appeal from this order of dismissal on August 13, 2015, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit heard oral argument on June 10, 2016. In September 2016, WMC and Deutsche Bank agreed to settle all claims arising out of the securitization at issue in this lawsuit, subject to judicial approval. In October 2016, Deutsche Bank filed a petition for instruction in California state court seeking judicial instructions that Deutsche Bank’s entry into the settlement agreement was a reasonable exercise of its discretion and approving the distribution of settlement proceeds pursuant to the terms of the trust’s governing documents. No bondholder in this securitization has objected to the proposed settlement. On July 17, 2017, the court entered a judgment and order granting Deutsche Bank’s petition. The period to file an appeal expired October 9, 2017, and the underlying lawsuit was dismissed on October 16, 2017. | | | | | | | | |

The amounts of the claims at issue in these cases (discussed above) reflect the purchase price or unpaid principal balances of the mortgage loans at issue at the time of purchase and do not give effect to pay downs, accrued interest or fees, or potential recoveries based upon the underlying collateral. All of the mortgage loans involved in these lawsuits are included in WMC’s reported claims at September 30, 2017. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
On January 23, 2017, the ResCap Liquidating Trust, as successor to Residential Funding Company, LLC (RFC), filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages against WMC in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota arising from alleged breaches in representations and warranties made by WMC in connection with the sale of approximately $840 million in loans to RFC over a period of time preceding RFC’s filing for bankruptcy protection in May 2012. On September 27, 2017, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, and the lawsuit was dismissed October 8, 2017.
In December 2015, we learned that, as part of continuing industry-wide investigation of subprime mortgages, the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) by WMC and its affiliates arising out of the origination, purchase or sale of residential mortgage loans between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2007. The Justice Department subsequently issued subpoenas to WMC and GE Capital, and we are cooperating with the Justice Department’s investigation, including providing documents and witnesses for interviews.
Alstom legacy matters. In connection with our acquisition of Alstom’s Thermal, Renewables and Grid businesses in November 2015, we are subject to legacy legal proceedings and legal compliance risks that relate to claimed anti-competitive conduct or improper payments by Alstom in the pre-acquisition period. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
GE Retirement Savings Plan class action. On September 27, 2017, three individual plaintiffs filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against GE, trustees of GE’s 401(k) plan (the GE RSP) and other individual defendants yet to be named. Like a growing number of similar lawsuits that have been brought against other companies in recent years, the suit alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) in their oversight of the GE RSP, including by selecting underperforming proprietary mutual funds as investment options for plan participants. The plaintiffs, purporting to act on behalf of GE RSP participants and beneficiaries from 2011 through June 30, 2016, seek damages of $700 million, but we believe we have defenses to the claims and will respond accordingly.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidatedPOLICIES. Our financial statements representare prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires us to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future, economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets and investment securities, revisions to estimated profitability on long-term product service agreements, incremental credit losses on receivables and debt securities, a change in the consolidationcarrying amount of General Electric Company (the Company)our tax assets and all companiesliabilities, or a change in our insurance liabilities and pension obligations as of the time of a relevant measurement event.
In preparing our Statement of Cash Flows, we make certain adjustments to reflect cash flows that we directly or indirectly control, either through majority ownership or otherwise. See Note 1cannot otherwise be calculated by changes in our Statement of Financial Position. These adjustments may include, but are not limited to, the consolidated financial statements inour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 that discusses our consolidation and financial statement presentation. As used in this report on Form 10-Q (Report), “GE” represents the adding together of all affiliated companies except GE Capital (GE Capital or Financial Services), whose continuing operations are presented on a one-line basis; GE Capital consists of General Capital Global Holdings, LLC (GECGH) and all of its affiliates; and “Consolidated” represents the adding together of GE and GE Capital with the effects of transactions betweencurrency exchange, acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, businesses classified as held for sale, the two eliminated. Unless otherwise indicated, we refertiming of settlements to the caption revenuessuppliers for property, plant and equipment, non-cash gains/losses and other income simply as “revenues” throughout this Form 10-Q.balance sheet reclassifications.
We have reclassified certain prior-periodprior-year amounts to conform to the current-periodcurrent-year’s presentation. Unless otherwise noted, tables are presented in U.S. dollars in millions. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions. Earnings per share amounts are computed independently for earnings from continuing operations, earnings from discontinued operations and net earnings. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Certain of our operations have been presented as discontinued. We present businesses whose disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and financial results as discontinued operations when the components meet the criteria for held for sale, are sold, or spun-off. See Note 2 for further information.
INTERIM PERIOD PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) that we considered necessary to present a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. It is suggested that these consolidatedThese financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, notes and notes theretosignificant accounting policies included in our consolidated financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Please refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation2022 and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statementsrevised portions of our 20162022 Form 10-K Report for the discussion of our significant accounting policies.on Form 8-K as filed on April 25, 2023.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES
On January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which was intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory held by an entity not measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or retail inventory method. The amendments eliminated the requirement that entities consider the replacement cost of inventory and the net realizable value less a normal profit margin, which was historically used to establish a floor and ceiling for an assessment of market value. The adoption of this standard was immaterial to our financial statements.

These intercompany balances included within our held for sale businesses are reported in the GE and GE Capital columns of our financial statements, but are eliminated in deriving our consolidated financial statements. |
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations primarily relate to our financial services businesses as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, and also includes the remaining assets of our U.S. mortgage business (WMC). All of these operations were previously reported in the Capital segment.liabilities associated with prior dispositions. Results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses are separately reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.presented and the notes to the financial statements have been adjusted on a retrospective basis.
GE HealthCare. On January 3, 2023, we completed the previously announced separation of our HealthCare business (the Separation), into a separate, independent, publicly traded company, GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (GE HealthCare). The Separation was structured as a tax-free spin-off, and was achieved through GE's pro-rata distribution of approximately 80.1% of the outstanding shares of GE HealthCare to holders of GE common stock. In connection with the Separation, the historical results of GE HealthCare and certain assets and liabilities included in the Separation are reported in GE's consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.
We have entered into Transitional Service Agreements (TSA)continuing involvement with GE HealthCare primarily through a transition services agreement, through which GE and providedGE HealthCare continue to provide certain indemnificationsservices to buyerseach other for a period of time following the Separation, and a trademark licensing agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we collected net cash of $453 million related to these activities.
Bank BPH. As previously reported, Bank BPH, along with other Polish banks, has been subject to ongoing litigation in Poland related to its portfolio of floating rate residential mortgage loans, with cases brought by individual borrowers seeking relief related to their foreign currency indexed or denominated mortgage loans in various courts throughout Poland. In July 2023, in connection with GE Capital’s assets. Underand Bank BPH approving the TSAs,adoption of a settlement program intended to be made available over time to Bank BPH borrowers, GE Capital provides various services for terms generally between 12recorded an additional charge of $1,014 million, increasing total estimated losses associated with Bank BPH borrower litigation to $2,632 million as of June 30, 2023. No incremental cash contributions from GE are required in connection with this charge as the current cash balances at Bank BPH are adequate. In order to maintain appropriate regulatory capital levels, during the three and 24six months ended June 30, 2023, we made non-cash capital contributions in the form of intercompany loan forgiveness of $1,599 million and receives a level of cost reimbursement from the buyers.$1,797 million, respectively.

We do notmanage the investments in our run-off insurance operations under strict investment guidelines, including limitations on asset class concentration, single issuer exposures, asset-liability duration variances, and other factors to meet credit quality, yield, liquidity and diversification requirements associated with servicing our insurance liabilities under reasonable circumstances. This process includes consideration of various asset allocation strategies and incorporates information from several external investment advisors to improve our investment yield subject to maintaining our ability to satisfy insurance liabilities when due, as well as considering our risk-based capital requirements, regulatory constraints, and tolerance for surplus volatility. Asset allocation planning is a dynamic process that considers changes in market conditions, risk appetite, liquidity needs and other factors, which are reviewed on a periodic basis by our investment team. Our investment in GE HealthCare comprised 61.6 million shares (approximately 13.5% ownership interest) at June 30, 2023. Our investment in AerCap comprised 78.2 million ordinary shares (approximately 33.6% ownership interest) at June 30, 2023 and an AerCap senior note, for which we have anyadopted the fair value option. We sold our remaining shares in Baker Hughes (BKR) during the first quarter of 2023. Our GE HealthCare and AerCap investments are recorded as Equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Investment securities held within insurance entities are classified as held-to-maturity. non-current as they support the long-duration insurance liabilities.

We expect actual maturities to differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call or prepay certain obligations.
AlthoughThe majority of our equity securities are classified within Level 1 and the majority of our debt securities are classified within Level 2, as their valuation is determined based on significant observable inputs. Investments with a fair value of $6,394 million and $6,421 million are classified within Level 3, as significant inputs to their valuation models are unobservable at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3.
In addition to the equity securities described above, we generally do not havehold $786 million and $614 million of equity securities without readily determinable fair values at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, that are classified within non-current All other assets in our Statement of Financial Position. Fair value adjustments, including impairments, recorded in earnings were immaterial for all periods presented. These are primarily limited partnership investments in private equity, infrastructure and real estate funds that are measured at net asset value per share (or equivalent) as a practical expedient to estimated fair value and are excluded from the intentfair value hierarchy.

RECEIVABLES FACILITY
The Company has a $3,200 million revolving Receivables Facility under which receivables are sold directly to third-party purchasers. The third-party purchasers have no recourse to other assets of the Company in the event of non-payment by the debtors. Where the purchasing entity is a bank multi-seller commercial paper conduit, assets transferred by other parties to that entity form a majority of the entity’s assets. Upon sale of the receivables, we receive proceeds of cash and a deferred purchase price (DPP). The DPP is an interest in specified assets of the purchasers (the receivables sold by GE Capital) that entitles GE Capital to the residual cash flows of those specified assets.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, GE Industrial sold current receivables of $15,057 million to GE Capital, which GE Capital sold immediately to third parties under the Receivables Facility. GE Capital continues to service the current receivables for the purchasers. The Company received total cash collections of $14,729 million on previously sold current receivables owed to the purchasing entities. The purchasing entities reinvested $12,681 million of those collections to purchase newly originated current receivables from the Company and paid $461 million to reduce their DPP obligation to the Company.
|
| | |
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, GE Industrial recognized a loss of $100 million resulting from a discount on the sale of these receivablesservices upgrades, which we collect through incremental fixed or usage-based fees from servicing the equipment under long-term service agreements.
Progress collections and deferred income increased $902 million primarily due to GE Capital. GE Capital recovered the majoritynew collections received in excess of this loss on the sale of the receivables to third party purchasers.
At September 30, 2017, GE Capital, under the Receivables Facility, serviced $2,903 million of transferred receivables that remain outstanding.
Given the short-term nature of the underlying receivables, discount rates and prepayments are not factors in determining the value of the DPP. Collections on the DPP are presented within Cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated column in the Statement of Cash Flows. As the performance of the transferred current receivables is similar to the performance of our other current receivables, delinquencies are not expected to be significant.

NOTE 8. ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
ACQUISITIONS
On October 11, 2016, we announced a plan to acquire LM Wind Power, the Danish maker of rotor blades for approximately $1,700 million. The transaction closed on April 20, 2017. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $1,300 million and amortizable intangible assets of approximately $200 million. The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon completion of post-closing procedures.
In the first quarter of 2017, we acquired the remaining 96% of ServiceMax, a leader in cloud-based field service management solutions, for $867 million, net of cash acquired of $91 million. Upon gaining control, we fair valued the business including our previously held 4% equity interest. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $670 million and amortizable intangible assets of approximately $280 million. The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon completion of post-closing procedures.
On September 14, 2016, we acquired the remaining 74% of the software developer Meridium Inc. for cash proceeds of $369 million. Upon gaining control, we fair valued the business including our previously held 26% equity interest. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $360 million and amortizable intangible assets of approximately $150 million.
On May 10, 2016, we announced the pending acquisition of the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) business from Doosan Engineering & Construction for $250 million. On August 16, 2016, we closed on 80% of the HRSG business for approximately $220 million. On May 23, 2017, we closed an additional 15% of the remaining HRSG business for approximately $35 million. The business is included in our Power Segment. The agreement to purchase the remaining 5% of the HRSG business was terminated on October 13, 2017. The purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $160 million and amortizable intangible assets of approximately $36 million.
BAKER HUGHES
On July 3, 2017, GE completed the previously announced combination of GE’s Oil & Gas business (GE Oil & Gas) with Baker Hughes Incorporated (Baker Hughes). As part of the transaction, GE contributed GE Oil & Gas and $7,498 million in cash in exchange for an ownership interest of approximately 62.5% in the new combined company. The operating assets of the new combined company are held through a partnership named Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC (BHGE LLC). GE holds an economic interest of approximately 62.5% in this partnership, and Baker Hughes’ former shareholders hold an ownership interest of approximately 37.5% through a newly NYSE listed corporation, Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE), which controls the partnership. In turn, GE holds a controlling, voting interest of approximately 62.5% in BHGE through Class B Common Stock, which grants voting rights but no economic rights. Baker Hughes’ former shareholders received one share of BHGE Class A Common Stock and a special one-time cash dividend of $17.50 per shareliability position at closing. Total consideration was $24,798 million, including the $7,498 million cash contribution.
The Baker Hughes acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination, using the acquisition method. The net assets of Baker Hughes’ contributed businesses were recorded at their estimated fair value, and GE Oil & Gas continues at its historical or carryover basis. We recorded noncontrolling interest of $16,470 million for the approximate 37.5% ownership interest in the combined company held by BHGE’s Class A shareholders. The noncontrolling interest is recorded at fair value for the portion attributable to Baker Hughes and at our historical cost for the portion attributable to GE Oil & Gas. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest associated with the acquired net assets was determined by the publicly traded share price of Baker Hughes at the close of the transaction. The impact of recognizing the noncontrolling interest in GE Oil & Gas resulted in an increase to additional paid in capital of $1,131 million.
The tables below present the preliminary fair value of the consideration exchanged and the preliminary allocation of purchase price to the major classes of assets and liabilities of the acquired Baker Hughes business and the associated fair value of preexisting noncontrolling interest related to the acquired net assets of Baker Hughes. The estimated values are not yet final and are subject to change, and the changes could be significant. We will finalize the amounts recognized as soon as possible as we obtain the information necessary to complete the analysis, but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

INCOME TAXES
BHGE LLC, will be treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, will not incur any material current or deferred U.S. federal income taxes. BHGE LLC’s foreign subsidiaries, however, are expected to incur current and deferred foreign income taxes.
At closing, GE and BHGE, entered into a Tax Matters Agreement. The Tax Matters Agreement governs the administration and allocation between the parties of tax liabilities and benefits arising prior to, as a result of, and subsequent to the transaction. GE will be responsible for certain taxes related to the formation of the transaction undertaken by GE and Baker Hughes and their respective subsidiaries. We have assumed approximately $35 million of tax obligations of Baker Hughes related to the formation of the transaction.
The Tax Matters Agreement will also provide for the sharing of certain tax benefits arising from the transaction. GE will be entitled to 100% of these tax benefits to the extent that GE has borne certain taxes related to the formation of the transaction. Thereafter, these tax benefits will be shared by GE and BHGE in accordance with their ownership of the partnership, which will initially be approximately 62.5% and approximately 37.5%, respectively.
ACQUISITION COSTS
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, acquisition costs of $159 million and $310 million, respectively, were expensed as incurred and were reported as selling, general and administrative expenses.

Goodwill balances increased by $16,630 million in 2017, primarily as a result of the Baker Hughes transaction, the LM Wind Power and ServiceMax acquisitions and the currency exchange effects of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by the reclassification of our Industrial Solutions business to assets of businesses held for sale and impairment of our Power Conversion reporting unit.
We test goodwill for impairment annually in the third quarter of each year using data as of July 1 of that year. The impairment test consists of two steps: in step one, the carrying value of the reporting unit is compared with its fair value; in step two, which is applied when the carrying value is more than its fair value, the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is derived by deducting the fair value of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities from the fair value of its equity, and comparing that amount with the carrying amount of goodwill. We determined fair values for each of the reporting units using the market approach, when available and appropriate, or the income approach, or a combination of both. We assess the valuation methodology based upon the relevance and availability of the data at the time we perform the valuation. If multiple valuation methodologies are used, the results are weighted appropriately.
Valuations using the market approach are derived from metrics of publicly traded companies or historically completed transactions of comparable businesses. The selection of comparable businesses is based on the markets in which the reporting units operate giving consideration to risk profiles, size, geography, and diversity of products and services. A market approach is limited to reporting units for which there are publicly traded companies that have the characteristics similar to our businesses.
Under the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for each business. Actual results may differ from those assumed in our forecasts. We derive our discount rates using a capital asset pricing model and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to our reporting units to estimate the cost of equity financing. We use discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective businesses and in our internally developed forecasts. Discount rates used in our reporting unit valuations ranged from 10.0% to 18.0%.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
During the third quarter of 2017, we performed our annual impairment test of goodwill for all our reporting units. Based on the results of our step one testing, the fair values of each of the GE reporting units exceeded their carrying values except for our Power Conversion reporting unit, within our Power operating segment. The primary factors contributing to a reduction in fair value of this reporting unit were extended downturns in certain of its customer segments, most notably the marine and oil and gas markets, increased pricing and cost pressures in low margin renewable markets, and the delayed introduction of new technologies and products. Therefore, we performed a step two analysis. As a result of this analysis, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment loss of $947 million ($940 million after tax) during the third quarter to write down the carrying values of Power Conversion’s goodwill to its implied fair value of $191 million. The impairment loss was recorded on the Statement of Earnings to Other costs and expenses. After the impairment loss, the fair value of our Power Conversion reporting unit was in excess of its carrying value by approximately 2%.
In addition, we identified one reporting unit for which the fair value was not substantially in excess of its carrying value. The Grid Solutions reporting unit within our Power operating segment was formed as a result of the Alstom acquisition in November 2015. Since fair value equaled carrying value at the time of acquisition, this caused the fair value of this reporting unit not to be significantly in excess of its carrying value. In the current annual impairment test, fair value of Grid Solutions was in excess of its carrying value by approximately 3% and, therefore, continues to be not substantially in excess of carrying value. While the goodwill of this reporting unit is not currently impaired, there could be an impairment in the future as a result of changes in certain assumptions. For example, the fair value could be adversely affected and result in an impairment of goodwill if expected synergies of the acquisition with Alstom are not realized or if the reporting unit was not able to execute on customer opportunities, the estimated cash flows are discounted at a higher risk-adjusted rate or market multiples decrease. The goodwill associated with our Grid Solutions reporting unit was $4,418 million, representing approximately 5% of our total goodwill at September 30, 2017.
While the fair values of our Oil & Gas reporting units are in excess of their carrying values, the Oilfield Equipment and Oilfield Services reporting unit continues to experience declines in orders, project commencement delays and pricing pressures, which reduced its fair value. To the extent that conditions further deteriorate, the fair value of this reporting unit will continue to decline. We will continue to monitor the oil & gas industry and the impact it may have on this reporting unit. In addition, because of the Baker Hughes acquisition and related integration activities, the composition of our historical reporting units for the Oil & Gas operating segment may change. In the event that any of our reporting units change substantially, we will be required to re-test the reporting units as of the date of the reorganization, re-allocate goodwill based on the relative fair values of the new reporting units, and record any required impairment. Finally, the operating and reporting segments and associated reporting units for BHGE are different than GE’s, as BHGE is a subsidiary and performs its reporting unit assessment one level below its operating segments.
As of September 30, 2017, we believe no other goodwill impairment exists, apart from the impairment charge discussed above, and that the remaining goodwill is recoverable for all of the reporting units; however, there can be no assurances that additional goodwill will not be impaired in future periods.
Estimating the fair value of reporting units requires the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on a number of factors including actual operating results. It is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods.

Revenues in excess of billings increased $2,606 million and $1,328 million for our long-term service agreements and long-term equipment contracts, respectively. The increase in our long-term service agreements is due to a $1,930equity method and other investments of $295 million, cumulative catch up adjustment driven by lower forecasted costs to complete these contracts as well as increased forecasted revenue and $676 million due to the timing of revenue recognized for work performed relative to billings and collections. Revenue in excess of billings for our long-term equipment contracts increased $1,328 million primarily due to the timing of revenue recognized for work performed relative to the timing of billings and collections. The remaining increase in contract assets of $712 million is primarily due an increase in deferred inventory costslong-term receivables of $136 million, an increase in pension surplus of $126 million and non-recurring engineering costs.an increase in Insurance cash and cash equivalents of $122 million. Insurance cash and cash equivalents was $741 million and $619 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 13. INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rates were (7.9)% and 4.9% during the ninesix months ended 2017June 30, 2023, primarily due to employee compensation and 2016, respectively. The rate for 2017 benefited from the tax difference on global activities, the tax rate on the dispositionbenefit liabilities of the Water business$550 million and U.S. business credits and for 2016 from a deductible stock loss and U.S. business credits. In the nine months ended 2017, these decreases werederivative instruments of $145 million partially offset by taxes payable of $133 million and equipment projects and other commercial liabilities of $131 million. All other liabilities increased $4 million in the non-deductible impairmentsix months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to uncertain and other income taxes and related liabilities of goodwill associated$222 million partially offset by equipment projects and other commercial liabilities of $190 million.
NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES. Our income tax rate was 7.7% and (8.9)% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The low tax rate for 2023 was primarily due to the unrealized gain on our investment in GE HealthCare, which is expected to be recovered tax-free and U.S. general business credits. We intend to dispose of our investment in a manner consistent with the Power Conversion business and by an adjustment to bring the nine-month tax ratetax-free treatment confirmed in line with the higher expected full-year rate. In the nine months ended 2016, there was a further decrease to bring the nine-month tax rate in line with the lower expected full-year rate.
In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date.

The increases for the period ended September 30, 2017 primarily relate to preliminary estimates of uncertain taxes for entities consolidated as part of the Baker Hughes transaction.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ruling in connection with the spin of GE HealthCare. This was partially offset by losses in foreign jurisdictions that are not likely to be utilized and separation income tax costs including disallowed expenses and valuation allowances related to the spin of GE HealthCare. The tax rate for 2022 reflects a tax provision on a pre-tax loss. The rate was negative primarily due to the net unrealized capital loss on our retained and sold ownership interests for which the loss could not be tax benefited, losses in foreign jurisdictions that are not likely to be utilized and non-tax benefited asset impairment charges.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act that includes a new Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) based upon financial statement income, an excise tax on stock buybacks and tax incentives for energy and climate initiatives, among other provisions. The new CAMT is expected to slow but not eliminate the favorable tax impact of our deferred tax assets, resulting in higher cash tax in some years that would generate future tax benefits. The impact of CAMT will depend on our facts in each year and anticipated guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. We currently do not expect to incur CAMT in 2023.
The IRS is currently auditing our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for 2012-2013 and 2014-2015. In addition, certain other U.S. tax deficiency issues and refund claims for previous years are still unresolved. It is reasonably possible that a portion of the unresolved items could be resolved during the next 12 months, which could result in a decrease in our balance of "unrecognized tax benefits" - that is, the aggregate tax effect of differences between tax return positions and the benefits recognized in our financial statements. We believe that there are no other jurisdictions in which the outcome of unresolved issues or claims is likely to be material to our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We further believe that we have made adequate provision for all income tax uncertainties.2016-2018.

(a) Includes actuarial determined post-employment severance benefits reserve of $360 million and $328 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Also includes $64 million reserve in discontinued operations related to a GE technology contract which is indemnified by GE HealthCare as of June 30, 2023.
For the three and net earnings.six months ended June 30, 2023, restructuring and other initiatives primarily included exit activities related to the restructuring program announced in the fourth quarter of 2022 reflecting lower Corporate shared-service and footprint needs as a result of the GE HealthCare spin-off. It also includes exit activities associated with the plan announced in the fourth quarter of 2022 to undertake a restructuring program across our businesses planned to be part of GE Vernova, primarily reflecting the selectivity strategy to operate in fewer markets and to simplify and standardize product variants at Renewable Energy. We recorded total charges of $144 million and $305 million, consisting of $59 million and $134 million, primarily in non-cash impairment, accelerated depreciation and other charges, not reflected in the table above, and $85 million and $171 million primarily in employee workforce reduction charges, which are reflected in the table above in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. We incurred $155 million and $293 million in cash outflows related to restructuring actions, primarily for employee severance payments and contract terminations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, restructuring and other initiatives primarily included exit activities at our Power business related to our new coal build wind-down actions announced in the third quarter of 2021, which included the exit of certain product lines, closing certain manufacturing and office facilities, and workforce reduction programs. We recorded total charges of $46 million and $94 million, consisting of $24 million and $63 million primarily in non-cash impairment, accelerated depreciation and other charges, not reflected in the table above, and $22 million and $31 million primarily in employee workforce reduction charges, which are reflected in the table above in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. We incurred $85 million and $211 million in cash outflows related to restructuring actions, primarily for employee severance payments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.
SEPARATION COSTS. In November 2021, the company announced its plan to form three industry-leading, global public companies focused on the growth sectors of aviation, healthcare, and energy. As a result of this plan, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur separation, transition, and operational costs, which will depend on specifics of the sumtransactions.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred pre-tax separation expense of per-share amounts from continuing operations$226 million and $431 million, paid $372 million and $576 million in cash, respectively, primarily related to employee costs, professional fees, costs to establish certain stand-alone functions and information technology systems, and other transformation and transaction costs to transition to three stand-alone public companies. These costs are presented as separation costs in our consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss). In addition, we incurred $34 million net tax benefit and $22 million of net tax expense, including taxes associated with planned legal entity restructuring and changes to indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, we incurred pre-tax separation costs of $148 million and $247 million, paid $20 million and $23 million in cash, and recognized $15 million and $39 million of net tax expense related to separation activities.
As discussed in Note 2, GE completed the separation of its HealthCare business into a separate, independent publicly traded company, GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. As a result, pre-tax separation costs specifically identifiable to GE HealthCare are now reflected in discontinued operations may not equaloperations. We incurred $1 million and $21 million in pre-tax costs for the total per-share amountsthree and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, recognized $4 million of tax benefits for net earnings.the six months ended June 30, 2023, and spent $55 million and $140 million in cash for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Discount rates are determined based on inputs that market participants would use when pricing investments, including credit and liquidity risk. An increasenot included in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the fair value.above disclosures; such items include cash and equivalents, investment securities and derivative financial instruments.
At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, non-recurring measurements of $252 million and $379 million, respectively, are valued using non-binding broker quotes or other third-party sources. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, non-recurring fair value measurements were individually insignificant and utilize a number of different unobservable inputs not subject to meaningful aggregation.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
FORMS OF HEDGING
In this section we explain the hedging methods we use and their effects on our financial statements.
Cash flow hedges – We use cash flow hedging primarily to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on purchase and sale contracts in our industrial businesses and to convert foreign currency debtHEDGING. Our policy requires that we have issued in our financial services business back to our functional currency.
As part of our ongoing effort to reduce borrowings, we may repurchase debt that was in a cash flow hedge accounting relationship. At the time of determining that the debt cash flows are probable of not occurring any related OCI will be released to earnings.

Net investment hedges – We invest in foreign operations that conduct their financial services activities in currencies other than the US dollar. We hedge the currency risk associated with those investments primarily using short-term currency exchange contracts under which we receive US dollars and pay foreign currency and non-derivative instruments such as debt denominated in a foreign currency.

Economic Hedges- These derivatives are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint (and therefore we do not apply hedge accounting to the relationship) but otherwise serve the same economic purpose as other hedging arrangements.for speculative purposes. We use economic hedges when we have exposuresderivatives to manage currency exchange risk for which we are unable to meet the requirements for hedge accounting or when changes in the carrying amount of the hedged item are already recorded in earnings in the same period as the derivative making hedge accounting unnecessary. Even though the derivative is an effective economic hedge, there may be a net effect on earnings in each period due to differences in the timing of earnings recognition between the derivative and the hedged item.

NOTIONAL AMOUNT OF DERIVATIVES
The notional amount of a derivative is the number of units of the underlying (for example, the notional principal amount of the debt in an interest rate swap). The notional amount is used to compute interest or other payment streams to be made under the contract and is a measure of our level of activity. We generally disclose derivative notional amounts on a gross basis. The majority of the outstanding notional amount of $185 billion at September 30, 2017 isrisks related to managingforeign exchange, and interest rate and currency risk between financial assets and liabilities, and certain equity investments and commodity prices.

FAIR VALUE HEDGES. As of June 30, 2023, all fair value hedges were terminated due to exposure management actions, including debt maturities. Gains (losses) associated with the terminated hedging relationships will continue to amortize into interest expense until the hedged borrowings mature. The cumulative amount of hedging adjustments of $1,216 million (all on discontinued hedging relationships) was included in our financial services business.the carrying amount of the previously hedged liability of $8,956 million. At June 30, 2022, the cumulative amount of hedging adjustments of $1,801 million (all on discontinued hedging relationships) was included in the carrying amount of the previously hedged liability of $15,290 million.

Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and recorded in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction occurs. The total amount in AOCI related to cash flow hedges of anticipated sales and purchasesforecasted transactions was a $15 million loss as of June 30, 2023.

COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK. Our exposures to hedgingcounterparties were $391 million and amounts released to earnings.
See Note 21 for other supplemental information about derivatives and hedging.
NOTE 17. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
A VIE is an entity that has one of three characteristics: (1) it is controlled by someone other than its shareowners or partners, (2) its shareowners or partners are not economically exposed to the entity's earnings (for example, they are protected against losses), or (3) it was thinly capitalized when it was formed.
In the normal course of business we become involved with VIEs either because we help create them or we invest in them. Our VIEs either provide goods and services to customers or provide financing to third parties for the purchase of GE goods and services. If we control the VIE, we consolidate it and provide disclosure below. However, if the VIE is a business and use of its assets is not limited to settling its liabilities, ongoing disclosures are not required.
CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Our most significant consolidated VIEs are four joint ventures used to complete acquisitions. The newest of these, BHGE LLC was formed as part of the Baker Hughes transaction. BHGE LLC owns the operating assets of GE Oil & Gas and Baker Hughes. BHGE LLC is a VIE as we hold an economic interest of approximately 62.5% in the partnership, but we hold no voting or participating rights through our direct economic ownership. BHGE LLC is a SEC Registrant with separate filing requirements with the SEC and its separate financial information can be obtained from www.sec.gov.
The remaining three joint ventures were formed as part of the Alstom acquisition. These joint ventures include grid technology, renewable energy, and global nuclear and French steam power and have combined assets, liabilities and redeemable non-controlling interest as of September$306 million at June 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016 of $16,282 million, $11,4142022, respectively. Counterparties' exposures to our derivative liability were $216 million and $3,106$365 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
NOTE 22. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES. In our Statement of Financial Position, we have assets of $306 million and $14,460 million, $9,922$401 million and $2,709liabilities of $200 million respectively.and $206 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, in consolidated Variable Interest Entities (VIEs). These joint ventures are considered VIEs because the equity held by Alstom does not participate fully in the earnings of the ventures due to contractual features allowing Alstom to sell their interests back to GE.
|
| | |
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
We consolidate these joint ventures because we control all their significant activities. These joint ventures are in all other repects regular businesses and are therefore exempt from ongoing disclosure requirements for consolidated VIEs provided below.
The table below provides information about consolidated VIEs that are subject to ongoing disclosure requirements. Substantially all of these entities were created to help our customers facilitate or finance the purchase of GE goodsequipment and services or to purchase GE customer notes receivable arising from sales of GE goods and services. These entities have no features that could expose us to losses that couldwould significantly exceed the difference between the consolidated assets and liabilities.

LEGAL MATTERS
WMC. During the fourth quarter of 2007, we completed the sale of WMC, our U.S. mortgage business. WMC substantially discontinued all new loan originations by the second quarter of 2007, and is not a loan servicer. In connection with the sale, WMC retained certain representation and warranty obligations related to loans sold to third parties priorLegal Matters in Note 24 to the disposalconsolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and Note 23 to the consolidated financial statements in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023; refer to those discussions for information about previously reported legal matters that are not updated below. In the normal course of our business, we are involved from time to time in various arbitrations, class actions, commercial litigation, investigations and other legal, regulatory or governmental actions, including the significant matters described below that could have a material impact on our results of operations. In many proceedings, including the specific matters described below, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the businesspossible loss, and contractual obligations to repurchase previously sold loans that had an early payment default. All claims received by WMCaccruals for early payment default have either been resolved orlegal matters are no longer being pursued.
The remaining active claims have been brought by securitization trustees or administrators seeking recovery from WMCnot recorded until a loss for alleged breachesa particular matter is considered probable and reasonably estimable. Given the nature of representations and warranties on mortgage loans that serve as collateral for residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). At September 30, 2017, such claims consisted of $1,019 million of individual claims generally submitted before the filing of a lawsuit (compared to $1,060 million at December 31, 2016) and $5,435 million of additional claims asserted against WMC in litigation without making a prior claim (Litigation Claims) (compared to $5,456 million at December 31, 2016). The total amount of these claims, $6,454 million, reflects the purchase price or unpaid principal balances of the loans at the time of purchase and does not give effect to pay downs or potential recoveries based upon the underlying collateral, which in many cases are substantial, nor to accrued interest or fees. WMC believes that repurchase claims brought based upon representations and warranties made more than six years before WMC was notified of the claim would be disallowed in legal proceedings under applicable lawmatters and the June 11, 2015 decision of the New York Court of Appeals in ACE Securities Corp. v. DB Structured Products, Inc., on the statute of limitations period governing such claims. Giving effect to the settlements and subsequent dismissals of lawsuits on five securitizations discussed in Legal Proceedings, active claims at October 26, 2017 consisted of $462 million of individual claims generally submitted before the filing of a lawsuit and $3,198 million of Litigation Claims, as defined above.
Reserves related to repurchase claims made against WMC were $647 million at September 30, 2017, reflecting a net increase to reserves in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $21 million. The reserve estimate takes into account recent settlement activity and is based upon WMC’s evaluation of the remaining exposures as a percentage of estimated lifetime mortgage loan losses within the pool of loans supporting each securitization for which timely claims have been asserted in litigation against WMC. Settlements in prior periods reduced WMC’s exposure on claims asserted in certain securitizations and the claim amounts reported above give effect to these settlements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Given the significant litigation activity and WMC’s continuing efforts to resolve the lawsuits involving claims made against WMC,complexities involved, it is often difficult to assess whether future losses will be consistent with WMC’s past experience. Adverse changes to WMC’s assumptions supporting the reserve may result in an increase to these reserves. WMC estimates a range of reasonably possible loss from $0 to approximately $500 million over its recorded reserve at September 30, 2017. This estimate involves significant judgmentpredict and may not reflect the range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes inherent in litigation, including the matters discussed in Legal Proceedings and potential changes in WMC’s legal strategy. This estimate excludes any possible loss associated with an adverse court decision on the applicable statute of limitations or an adverse outcome in the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) investigation discussed in Legal Proceedings, as WMC is unable at this time to develop such a meaningful estimate. With respect to the FIRREA investigation, this inability to developdetermine a meaningful estimate of theloss or range of reasonably possible loss reflects,until we know, among other factors, the rangeparticular claims involved, the likelihood of penalties andsuccess of our defenses to those claims, the damages or other sanctions incurred by various financial institutions in proceedings and settlements involving claims made under FIRREA by the U.S. Department of Justice.
At September 30, 2017, there were 10 lawsuits involving claims made against WMC arising from alleged breaches of representations and warranties on mortgage loans included in 11 securitizations. The adverse parties in these cases are securitization trusteesrelief sought, how discovery or parties claiming to act on their behalf. As discussed in Legal Proceedings, five of these lawsuits have been dismissed following the conclusion of settlement agreements, and one of the lawsuits is subject of a settlement agreement approved by a Minnesota state court. One of the lawsuits involves claims made on two securitizations, and these claims are the subject of settlement agreements to which objections have been filed in California state court. Two of the three remaining lawsuits have been stayed pendingother procedural considerations will affect the outcome, the settlement posture of ongoing settlement negotiations. The sole remaining active lawsuit against WMC is the TMI case, discussed in Legal Proceedings, which was recently scheduled for trial on January 16, 2018. Settlement discussions to date have been unsuccessful, and if this case proceeds to trial and WMC is found liable, it is likely damages would be in an amount exceeding the total value of WMC’s assets.
Although the alleged claims for relief vary from case to case, the complaints and counterclaims in these actions generally assert claims for breach of contract, indemnification, and/or declaratory judgment, and seek specific performance (repurchase of defective mortgage loan) and/or money damages. Adverse court decisions, including in cases not involving WMC, could result in new claims and lawsuits on additional loans. However, WMC continues to believe that it has defenses to the claims asserted in litigation, including, for example, based on causation and materiality requirements and applicable statutes of limitations. It is not possible to predict the outcome or impact of these defensesother parties and other factors anythat may have a material effect on the outcome. For these matters, unless otherwise specified, we do not believe it is possible to provide a meaningful estimate of which could materially affect the amount of any loss ultimately incurred by WMC on these claims.
WMC has also received indemnification demands, nearly all of which are unspecified, from depositors/underwriters/sponsors of RMBS or securitization trustees in connection with actual or potential claims concerning alleged misrepresentations in the securitization offering documents to which WMCat this time. Moreover, it is not a party, mortgage loan repurchase claims made against RMBS sponsors or other claims involving alleged defects in loans sold by WMC. WMC believes that it has defensesuncommon for legal matters to these demands.be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be continuously evaluated.
To the extent WMC is required to repurchase loans, WMC’s loss also would be affected by several factors, including pay downs, accrued interest and fees, and the value of the underlying collateral. The reserve and estimate of possible loss reflect judgment, based on currently available information, and a number of assumptions, including economic conditions, claim and settlement activity, pending and threatened litigation, court decisions regarding WMC’s legal defenses, indemnification demands, government activity, and other variables in the mortgage industry. Actual losses arising from claims against WMC could exceed these amounts and additional claims and lawsuits could result if actual claim rates, governmental actions, litigation and indemnification activity, adverse court decisions, actual settlement rates or losses WMC incurs on repurchased loans differ from its assumptions.
Alstom legacy matters. On November 2,legal matters. In 2015, we acquired the Thermal,Steam Power, Renewables and Grid businesses from Alstom. PriorAlstom, which prior to theour acquisition the seller waswere the subject of two significant cases involving anti-competitive activities and improper payments: (1) in January 2007, Alstom was fined €65payments. We had reserves of $421 million by the European Commission for participating in a gas insulated switchgear cartel that operated from 1988 to 2004 (that fine was later reduced to €59 million), and (2) in$455 million at June 30, 2023 and December 2014, Alstom pled guilty in the United States to multiple violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and paid a criminal penalty of $772 million. As part of GE’s accounting for the acquisition, we established a reserve amounting to $858 million31, 2022, respectively, for legal and compliance matters related to the legacy business practices that were the subject of these and related cases in various jurisdictions.
Regardless of jurisdiction, the allegations Allegations in these cases relate to claimed anti-competitive conduct or improper payments in the pre-acquisition period as the source of legal violations and/or damages. Given the significant litigation and compliance activity related to these matters and our ongoing efforts to resolve them, it is difficult to assess whether the disbursements will ultimately be consistent with the reserve established. The estimation of this reserve involved significant judgment and may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes inherent in litigation and investigations of this nature. Damages sought may include disgorgementnature, and at this time we are unable to develop a meaningful estimate of profits on the underlying business transactions, fines and/or penalties, interest, or other formsrange of resolution.reasonably possible additional losses beyond the amount of this reserve. Factors that can affect the ultimate amount of losses associated with these and related matters include the way cooperation is assessed and valued, prosecutorial discretion in the determination of damages, formulas for determining disgorgement, fines andor penalties, the duration and amount of legal and investigative resources applied, and political and social influences within each jurisdiction, and tax consequences of any settlements or previous deductions, among other considerations. Actual losses arising from claims in these and related matters could exceed the amount provided. At
Baker Hughes shareholder lawsuit. As previously reported by Baker Hughes, in March 2019, two derivative lawsuits were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery naming as defendants GE, directors of Baker Hughes (including former members of GE’s Board of Directors and current and former GE executive officers) and Baker Hughes (as nominal defendant), and the court issued an order consolidating these two actions (the Schippnick case). The complaint as amended in May 2019 alleged, among other things, that GE and the Baker Hughes directors breached their fiduciary duties, and that GE was unjustly enriched by entering into transactions and agreements related to GE's sales of approximately 12% of its ownership interest in Baker Hughes in November 2018. The complaint sought declaratory relief, disgorgement of profits, an award of damages, pre- and post-judgment interest and attorneys’ fees and costs. In May 2019, the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims against the directors who were members of the Baker Hughes Conflicts Committee and a former Baker Hughes director. In October 2019, the Court denied the remaining defendants’ motions to dismiss, except with respect to the unjust enrichment claim against GE, which was dismissed. In November 2019, the defendants filed their answer to the complaint, and a special litigation committee of the Baker Hughes Board of Directors moved for an order staying all proceedings in this action pending completion of the committee's investigation of the allegations and claims asserted in the complaint. In October 2020, the special litigation committee filed a report with the Court recommending that the derivative action be terminated. In January 2021, the special committee filed a motion to terminate the action. In April 2023, the Court granted the special committee’s motion to terminate the action.
GE Retirement Savings Plan class actions. Four putative class action lawsuits have been filed regarding the oversight of the GE RSP, and those class actions have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The consolidated complaint names as defendants GE, GE Asset Management, current and former GE and GE Asset Management executive officers and employees who served on fiduciary bodies responsible for aspects of the GE RSP during the class period. Like similar lawsuits that have been brought against other companies in recent years, this action alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) in their oversight of the GE RSP, principally by retaining five proprietary funds that plaintiffs allege were underperforming as investment options for plan participants and by charging higher management fees than some alternative funds. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages on behalf of a class of GE RSP participants and beneficiaries from September 26, 2011 through the date of any judgment. In August and December 2018, the court issued orders dismissing one count of the complaint and denying GE's motion to dismiss the remaining counts. In September 2022, both GE and the plaintiffs filed motions for summary judgment on the remaining claims, and oral arguments on the motions have been scheduled for August 2023.
Bank BPH. As previously reported, Bank BPH, along with other Polish banks, has been subject to ongoing litigation in Poland related to its portfolio of floating rate residential mortgage loans, with cases brought by individual borrowers seeking relief related to their foreign currency indexed or denominated mortgage loans in various courts throughout Poland. For several years, GE has observed an increase in the number of lawsuits being brought against Bank BPH and other banks in Poland by current and former borrowers, and we expect this to continue in future reporting periods.
In July 2023, GE took actions to significantly reduce exposure to future losses at Bank BPH. GE and Bank BPH have approved the adoption of a settlement program intended to be made available over time to Bank BPH borrowers. GE also converted the entirety of its $1,599 million parent company loan to equity in the bank in order to maintain appropriate regulatory capital levels. In connection with the foregoing, GE recorded an additional charge of $1,014 million, increasing total estimated losses associated with Bank BPH borrower litigation to $2,632 million as of June 30, 2023 compared to $1,540 million as of March 31, 2023.
No incremental cash contributions from GE are required in connection with the charge as the current cash balances at Bank BPH are adequate.
The estimate of total losses for borrower litigation at Bank BPH as of June 30, 2023 accounts for the costs of payments to borrowers who we estimate will participate in the settlement program, as well as estimates of litigation with other borrowers where remedies can often exceed the value of the current loan balance, and represents our best estimate of the total losses we expect to incur over time. However, there are a number of factors that could affect the estimate in the future, including: potentially significant judicial decisions or binding resolutions by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) or the Polish Supreme Court, including a ruling by the ECJ in June 2023 that could significantly increase the cost to banks of loans invalidated by Polish courts and encourage more borrower lawsuits; the impact of any such decisions or resolutions on how Polish courts will interpret and apply the law in particular cases; the receptivity of borrowers over time to Bank BPH’s and other banks’ settlement offers; the ability of banks, including Bank BPH, to recover from borrowers the original principal amount of loans invalidated by Polish courts. In addition, there is continued uncertainty arising from investigations by the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK), particularly UOKiK's investigation into the adequacy of disclosure of foreign exchange risk by banks (including Bank BPH) and the legality under Polish law of unlimited foreign exchange risk on customers. While we are unable at this time to develop a meaningful estimate of the range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond the amount currently recorded, future changes related to any of the foregoing or in Bank BPH’s settlement approach, or other adverse developments such as actions by regulators, legislators or other governmental authorities (including UOKiK), could increase our estimate of total losses and potentially require future cash contributions to Bank BPH. See Note 2 for this exposure.further information.

Our operations, like operations. As previously reported, in 2000, GE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) entered into a consent decree relating to PCB cleanup of other companiesthe Housatonic River in Massachusetts. Following the EPA’s release in September 2015 of an intended final remediation decision, GE and the EPA engaged in similar businesses, involvemediation and the use, disposalfirst step of the dispute resolution process contemplated by the consent decree. In October 2016, the EPA issued its final decision pursuant to the consent decree, which GE and cleanupseveral other interested parties appealed to the EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board (EAB). The EAB issued its decision in January 2018, affirming parts of substances regulated underthe EPA’s decision and granting relief to GE on certain significant elements of its challenge. The EAB remanded the decision back to the EPA to address those elements and reissue a revised final remedy, and the EPA convened a mediation process with GE and interested stakeholders. In February 2020, the EPA announced an agreement between the EPA and many of the mediation stakeholders, including GE, concerning a revised Housatonic River remedy. Based on the mediated resolution, the EPA solicited public comment on a draft permit and issued the final revised permit effective in January 2021. In March 2021, two local environmental protection laws. We are involvedadvocacy groups filed a joint petition to the EAB challenging portions of the revised permit; in numerous remediation actionsFebruary 2022, the EAB denied the petition, and the permit became effective in March 2022.

Liabilities for remediation costs exclude possible insurance recoveriesin June 2023, the Court heard oral arguments on that petition. As of June 30, 2023, and when dates and amounts of such costs are not known, are not discounted. When there appears to be a range of possible costs with equal likelihood, liabilities are based on its assessment of current facts and circumstances and its defenses, GE believes that it has recorded adequate reserves to cover future obligations associated with the low end of such range. It is reasonably possible that our environmental remediation exposure will exceed amounts accrued. However, due to uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information related to individual sites, such amounts are not reasonably estimable.proposed final remedy.

The total pre-tax amount in AOCI related to cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions was a $160 million gain at September 30, 2017. We expect to transfer $39 million gain to earnings as an expense in the next 12 months contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. In both the six months ended 2017 and 2016, we recognized insignificant gains and losses related to hedged forecasted transactions and firm commitments that did not occur by the end of the originally specified period. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the maximum term of derivative instruments that hedge forecasted transactions was 15 years and 16 years, respectively. See Note 14 for additional information about reclassifications out of AOCI.
For cash flow hedges, the amount of ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship and amount of the changes in fair value of the derivatives that are not included in the measurement of ineffectiveness were insignificant for each reporting period.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK
Fair values of our derivatives can change significantly from period to period based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in our positions. We manage counterparty credit risk (the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments to us according to the terms of our agreements) on an individual counterparty basis. Where we have agreed to netting of derivative exposures with a counterparty, we net our exposures with that counterparty and apply the value of collateral posted to us to determine the exposure. We actively monitor these net exposures against defined limits and take appropriate actions in response, including requiring additional collateral.
As discussed above, we have provisions in certain of our master agreements that require counterparties to post collateral (typically, cash or U.S. Treasury securities) when our receivable due from the counterparties, measured at current market value, exceeds a specified limit. The fair value of such collateral was $2,529 million at September 30, 2017, of which $2,091 million was cash and $437 million was in the form of securities held by a custodian for our benefit. Under certain of these same agreements, we post collateral to our counterparties for our derivative obligations, the fair value of cash collateral posted was $276 million at September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, our exposure to counterparties (including accrued interest), net of collateral we hold, was $681 million. This excludes exposure related to embedded derivatives.
Additionally, our master agreements typically contain mutual downgrade provisions that provide the ability of each party to require termination if the long-term credit rating of the counterparty were to fall below A-/A3 or other ratings levels agreed upon with the counterparty. In certain of these master agreements, each party also has the ability to require termination if the short-term rating of the counterparty were to fall below A-1/P-1. Our master agreements also typically contain provisions that provide termination rights upon the occurrence of certain other events, such as a bankruptcy or events of default by one of the parties. If an agreement was terminated under any of these circumstances, the termination amount payable would be determined on a net basis and could also take into account any collateral posted. The net amount of our derivative liability, after consideration of collateral posted by us and outstanding interest payments was $271 million at September 30, 2017. This excludes exposure related to embedded derivatives.
