(a) | Segment revenues include revenues and other income related to the segment. Segment profit excludes results reported as discontinued operations and material accounting changes, 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 and income taxes according to how a particular segment's management is measured – excluded in determining segment profit, which we sometimes refer to as "operating profit," for Power, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas, Aviation, Healthcare, Transportation and Energy Connections & Lighting; included in determining segment profit, which we sometimes refer to as "net earnings," for Capital. 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 are allocated based on each segment's relative net cost of operations. Total industrial segment revenues and profit include the sum of our seven industrial reporting segments without giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such segments. Total segment revenues and profit include the sum of our seven industrial segments and one financial services segment, without giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such segments. We believe that this provides investors with a view as to the results of all of our segments, without inter-segment eliminations and corporate items. |
(b) | Beginning in the third quarter of 2016, the former Energy Connections and Appliances & Lighting segments are presented as one reporting segment called Energy Connections & Lighting. This segment includes the historical results of the Appliances business prior to its sale in June 2016. |

Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP
We sometimes use financial measures derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The following non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure.
| Industrial operating and GE Capital earnings (loss) from continuing operations and EPS |
| Industrial operating + Verticals earnings and EPS (and excluding gains and restructuring) |
| Industrial operating profit and operating profit margin (excluding certain items) |
| Industrial segment organic revenues |
| Industrial segment organic operating profit |
| Industrial cash flows from operating activities (Industrial CFOA) |
| 2017 operating framework including 2017 Industrial operating + Verticals EPS target |
The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow. Certain columns, rows or percentages within these reconciliations may not add or recalculate due to the use of rounded numbers. Totals and percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions.

| | | | | | | |
(a) | The tax effect on non-operating pension costs was calculated using a 35% U.S. federal statutory tax rate, based on its applicability to such cost. |
(b) | Earnings (loss) per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total. |
Operating earnings (loss) excludes non-service related pension costs 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 any curtailment gain or 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 costs 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 costs 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.

Industrial operating earnings + Verticals earnings EPS, excluding gains & restructuring per share (Non-GAAP) | $ | 0.29 | | $ | 0.26 | | 12% |
| | | | | | | |
(a) | Verticals include businesses expected to be retained (GECAS, Energy Financial Services, Industrial Finance, and run-off Insurance), including allocated corporate after tax costs of $25 million in both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. |
(b) | 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 also presented our Industrial operating + Verticals earnings and EPS excluding gains and restructuring and other charges. We believe that Industrial operating + Verticals earnings and EPS adjusted for these items are meaningful measures because they increase the comparability of period-to-period results.

We have presented our Industrial operating profit and operating profit margin excluding gains, non-operating pension costs, 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.

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.

INDUSTRIAL CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES (INDUSTRIAL CFOA) |

(Dollars in millions) | | 2017 | | | 2016 | | V% |
| | | | | | | |
Cash from GE's operating activities (continuing operations), as reported (GAAP) | $ | 370 | | $ | 7,902 | | (95)% |
Adjustment: dividends from GE Capital | | 2,000 | | | 7,500 | | |
Industrial CFOA (Non-GAAP) | $ | (1,630) | | $ | 402 | | U |
| | | | | | | |
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 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. 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 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.
2017 OPERATING FRAMEWORK INCLUDING 2017 INDUSTRIAL OPERATING + VERTICALS EPS TARGET |
2017 Industrial operating + Verticals EPS Target $1.60-1.70 Items not included in non-GAAP metric: 1) Non-operating pension cost, which we estimate to be approximately $(0.16) – (0.17) per share. 2) Capital Other continuing earnings (excluding Verticals), which we estimate to be approximately $(0.03) – (0.12) per share. This amount is affected by, among other things: • The timing of when, and the amount by which, the Company pays down GE Capital's outstanding debt; and • The timing and magnitude of the remaining costs associated with GE Capital's Exit Plan. |
Note: The company cannot provide an equivalent GAAP EPS guidance range without unreasonable effort because of the uncertainty of the amount and timing of events affecting earnings as we execute the GE Capital Exit Plan. Although we have attempted to estimate GE Capital's Other continuing earnings for the purpose of explaining the probable significance of this component, as described under number 2, this calculation involves a number of unknown variables, resulting in a GAAP range that we believe is too large and variable to be meaningful.
It is also impractical to provide a reconciliation for our organic revenue, Industrial operating margin expansion and Free Cash Flow plus Dispositions targets as these involve a number of unknown variables including the effects of future acquisitions, dispositions, restructuring activities, property plant and equipment purchases and dispositions and currency exchange.
