ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION BACKGROUND. GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (“GE HealthCare,” the “Company,” “our,” or “we”) is a leading global medical technology, pharmaceutical diagnostics, and digital solutions innovator. We operate at the center of the healthcare ecosystem, helping enable precision care by increasing health system capacity, enhancing productivity, digitizing healthcare delivery, and improving clinical outcomes while serving patients’ demand for greater efficiency, access, and personalized medicine. Our products, services, and solutions are designed to enable clinicians to make more informed decisions quickly and efficiently, improving patient care from diagnosis to therapy to monitoring. On January 3, 2023 (the “Distribution Date”), the General Electric Company (“GE” or “Parent”) completed the previously announced spin-off of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off was completed through a distribution of approximately 80.1% of the Company’s outstanding common stock to holders of record of GE's common stock as of the close of business on December 16, 2022 (the “Distribution”), which resulted in the issuance of approximately 454 million shares of common stock. Prior to the Distribution, the Company issued 100 shares of common stock in exchange for $1.00, all of which were held by GE as of December 31, 2022. As a result of the Distribution, the Company became an independent public company. Our common stock is listed under the symbol “GEHC” on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). In the quarter ended June 30, 2023, GE disposed of approximately 29 million shares of its retained interest in GE HealthCare, reducing its beneficial ownership to approximately 13.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In connection with the Spin-Off, certain adjustments were recorded to reflect transfers from GE, the draw-down of the Term Loan Facility and settlement of Spin-Off transactions with GE, which resulted in the net reduction in Total equity of $2,840 million. These items substantially consisted of the transfer of: (a) certain pension plan liabilities and assets as des cribed in Note 9, “Postretirement Benefit Plans,” (b) certain deferred income taxes as described in Note 10, “Income Taxes,” (c) deferred compensation liabilities of $548 million, and (d) employee termination obligations as described in Note 14, “Restructuring and Other Activities – Net.” In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into or adopted several agreements that provide a framework for the relationship between the Company and GE. See Note 18, “Related Parties” for more information on these agreemen ts. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “GE HealthCare,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to (i) GE’s healthcare business prior to the Spin-Off as a carve-out business of GE with related condensed combined financial statements and (ii) GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Spin-Off with related condensed consolidated financial statements. BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The condensed consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and present the historical results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the financial position as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. The following tables are presented in millions of U.S dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise stated. All intercompany balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. These financial statements include certain transactions with GE, which are disclosed as related party transactions. See Note 18, “Related Parties” for further information. Prior to the Spin-Off, the condensed combined financial statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of GE including the historical cost basis of assets and liabilities comprising the Company, as well as the historical revenues, direct costs, and allocations of indirect costs attributable to the operations of the Company, using the historical accounting policies applied by GE. The condensed combined financial statements do not purport to reflect what the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, or cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. The condensed consolidated and combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited combined financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS. The preparation of the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future, economic and market conditions, which affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although our 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. There have been no material impacts to our accounting estimates as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, or the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, from the COVID-19 pandemic. The federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency declaration in the U.S. ended in May 2023, and COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted in many locations globally. We do not expect future material economic consequences from the COVID-19 pandemic . ACCOUNTING CHANGES. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes , provides that interest and penalties related to unrecognized income tax benefits may either be classified as income tax expense or interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company changed its accounting policy for presentation of interest expense on uncertain tax positions. The interest wa s previously presented within “Interest and other financial charges – net” and has changed to being presented within “Benefit (provision) for income taxes.” The Company believes this presentation is preferable because the cost is related to income tax matters and this presentation enhances comparability with our peers. The effects of the change in accounting have been prospectively applied to periods beginning in the first quarter of 2023 and were not material to any previously reported periods prior to March 31, 2023. Recent Accounting Pronouncements reflected in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2022-04, Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50) . The ASU requires companies to disclose information about supplier finance programs, including key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a rollforward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where the amounts are presented. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance obligations. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods, except for rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. See Note 17, “Supplemental Financial Information” for further information. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers . The ASU requires companies to apply the definition of a performance obligation under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers |
