(a)

Segment revenues include sales of products and services 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, non-operating benefit costs, income taxes, and preferred stock dividends according to how a particular segment's management is measured – excluded in determining segment profit, which we sometimes refer to as "operating profit," for Power, Renewable Energy, Oil & Gas, Aviation, Healthcare, Transportation and Lighting; included in determining segment profit, which we sometimes refer to as "net earnings," for Capital. Other income is included in segment profit for the industrial segments and 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. 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 and between these segments and our financial services segment. 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 2017, the Energy Connections business within the former Energy Connections & Lighting segment has been combined with the Power segment and presented as one reporting segment called Power. As a result of this combination, our GE Lighting and Current, powered by GE (Current) businesses, have been reported as a separate segment called Lighting.


(c)	Oil & Gas segment profit (loss) includes $324 million of restructuring and other charges in the three months ended March 31, 2018. Excluding this amount, Oil & Gas operating profit was $181 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

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.


•	Adjusted earnings and EPS


•	Adjusted GE Industrial operating profit and operating profit margin (excluding certain items)


•	GE Industrial segments organic revenue growth


•	Oil & Gas organic revenue growth


•	Healthcare organic revenue growth


•	Oil & Gas organic operating profit growth


•	GE Industrial structural costs


•	GE Industrial free cash flows (FCF) and adjusted GE Industrial FCF

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.

performance of the businesses we expect to retain after the disposition of most of our financial services business.

(a) The tax effect on non-operating benefit costs was calculated using a 21% U.S. federal statutory tax rate, based on its applicability to such cost. (b) Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total.
Adjusted earnings (loss) and EPS* excludes non-operating benefit costs, gains, and restructuring and other items, after tax. The service cost of our pension and other benefit plans are included in adjusted earnings, which represents the ongoing cost of providing pension benefits to our employees. The components of non-operating benefit costs are mainly driven by capital allocation decisions and market performance, and we manage these separately from the operational performance of our businesses. Gains and restructuring and other items are impacted by the timing and magnitude of gains associated with dispositions, and the timing and magnitude of costs associated with restructuring activities. We believe that the retained costs in Adjusted earnings and EPS* provides management and investors a useful measure to evaluate the performance of the total company, and increases period-to-period comparability. We also use Adjusted EPS* as a performance metric at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2018. We believe that presenting Adjusted Industrial earnings and EPS* separately for our financial services businesses also provides management and investors with useful information about the relative size of our industrial and financial services businesses in relation to the total company.

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.

GE Industrial structural costs (Non-GAAP)	$	5,725	$	6,530		$	(805	)

GE Industrial structural costs* include segment structural costs excluding the impact of restructuring and other charges, business acquisitions and dispositions, foreign exchange, plus total Corporate operating profit excluding restructuring and other charges and gains. The Baker Hughes acquisition is represented on a pro-forma basis, which means we calculated our structural costs by including legacy Baker Hughes results for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
We believe that GE Industrial structural costs* are a meaningful measure as they are broader than selling, general and administrative costs and represent the total structural costs in the industrial segments and Corporate that generally do not vary with volume.

In 2018, GE transitioned from reporting an Adjusted GE Industrial CFOA metric to measuring itself on a GE Industrial Free Cash Flow basis*. This metric includes GE CFOA plus investments in property, plant and equipment and additions to internal-use software; this metric excludes any dividends received from GE Capital, any cash received from dispositions of property, plant, and equipment and internal-use software.

We believe that investors may also find it useful to compare GE’s Industrial free cash flow performance without the effects of cash used for deal taxes and contributions to the GE Principal Pension Plan. We believe that this measure will better allow management and investors to evaluate the capacity of our industrial operations to generate free cash flows. In addition, we report Adjusted GE Industrial Free Cash Flows* in order to provide a more fair representation of the cash that we are entitled to utilize in a given period. We also use Adjusted GE Industrial Free Cash Flows* as a performance metric at the company-wide level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2018.

Management recognizes that the term free cash flow may be interpreted differently by other companies and under different circumstances. Although this may have an effect on comparability of absolute percentage growth from company to company, we believe that these measures are useful in assessing trends of the respective businesses or companies and may therefore be a useful tool in assessing period-to-period performance trends.
