CINCINNATI — January 23, 2025 — GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) announced results today for the fourth quarter and full year ending December 31, 2024.

GE Aerospace Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr. said, “GE Aerospace delivered a strong finish to 2024 given robust demand for our services and products with fourth quarter orders up 46%, EPS more than doubling, and free cash flow increasing over 20%. Our performance capped off a monumental first year as a standalone company with $1.7 billion of profit growth and $1.3 billion of free cash flow growth.”

Culp continued, "Looking to 2025, we expect double-digit revenue and EPS growth with greater than 100% free cash flow conversion. Guided by FLIGHT DECK, our proprietary lean operating model, I'm confident in our ability to accelerate output and deliver for our customers."

GE Aerospace's key highlights included:

•In the quarter, received certification from the FAA and EASA for the upgraded LEAP 1-A high-pressure turbine (HPT) durability kit, which combined with the three prior durability enhancements, is designed to increase time on wing to achieve parity with CFM56.

•Drove progress throughout 2024 using FLIGHT DECK to address supply chain constraints, enabling a 26% increase in material inputs across priority supplier sites from the first half to second half of 2024. This supported CES services revenue growth of 17% and total engine unit growth of 18% from the first half to the second half.

•In January 2025, integrated engineering and supply chain teams, into one organization called Technology & Operations, led by Mohamed Ali. With shared accountability across the full value chain, this cross-functional team will enable faster problem solving to increase deliveries.

•In the quarter, confirmed narrowbody commitment with EL AL Israel Airlines for 20 LEAP 1-B engines, announced widebody order from Royal Jordanian Airlines for 18 GEnx-1B engines and received orders under a contract with the U.S. Army valued up to $1.1 billion for the continued production of T700 engines through 2029.

•With a continued focus on inventing the future of flight, in November, announced plans with Boeing, NASA, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, to model the integration of an Open Fan engine design on an aircraft wing and successfully demonstrated a hybrid electric propulsion system rated at one megawatt with the U.S. Army.

•Returned more than $6 billion to shareholders in 2024, and today, announced share repurchase plans of $7 billion in 2025, while increasing the dividend by 30%, subject to Board approval.

Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP

We believe that presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides management and investors useful measures to evaluate performance and trends of the total company and its businesses. This includes adjustments in recent periods to GAAP financial measures to increase period-to-period comparability following actions to strengthen our overall financial position and how we manage our business.

In addition, management recognizes that certain non-GAAP terms may be interpreted differently by other companies under different circumstances. In various sections of this report we have made reference to the following non-GAAP financial measures in describing our (1) revenue, specifically Adjusted revenue, (2) profit, specifically Operating profit and Operating profit margin; Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS), (3) cash flows, specifically free cash flow (FCF), and (4) guidance, specifically 2025 Operating profit, 2025 Adjusted EPS and 2025 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.

We believe that adjusting revenue provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of revenue from our run-off insurance operations. We believe that adjusting profit to exclude the effects of items that are not closely associated with ongoing operations provides management and investors with a meaningful measure that increases the period-to-period comparability. Gains (losses) 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 and other activities. We also use Adjusted revenue* and Operating profit* as performance metrics at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2024.

(a) Includes tax benefits available to offset the tax on gains (losses) on equity securities.
(b) Includes related tax valuation allowances.

Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total.
We believe that Adjusted earnings* provides management and investors with useful measures to evaluate the performance of the total company and increased period-to-period comparability, as well as a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding items that are not closely related with ongoing operations. We also use Adjusted EPS* as a performance metric at the company level for our performance stock units granted in 2024.

(a) Included cash payment of $363 million for the settlement of the Sjunde AP-Fonden shareholder lawsuit for the year ended December 31, 2024.
We believe investors may find it useful to compare free cash flow* performance without the effects of separation cash expenditures and Corporate & Other restructuring cash expenditures (associated with the separation-related program announced in the fourth quarter of 2022). We believe this measure will better allow management and investors to evaluate the capacity of our operations to generate free cash flow. We also use FCF* as a performance metric at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan and performance stock units granted in 2024.

2025 GUIDANCE: 2025 OPERATING PROFIT (NON-GAAP)

We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measure for Operating profit* in 2025 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing of any gains or losses related to acquisitions & dispositions and the timing and magnitude of restructuring expenses. Although we have attempted to estimate the amount of gains and restructuring charges for the purpose of explaining the probable significance of these components, this calculation involves a number of unknown variables, resulting in a GAAP range that we believe is too large and variable to be meaningful.

2025 GUIDANCE: 2025 ADJUSTED EPS (NON-GAAP)

We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measure for Adjusted EPS* in 2025 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing of any gains or losses related to acquisitions & dispositions and the timing and magnitude of restructuring expenses. Although we have attempted to estimate the amount of gains and restructuring charges for the purpose of explaining the probable significance of these components, this calculation involves a number of unknown variables, resulting in a GAAP range that we believe is too large and variable to be meaningful.

2025 GUIDANCE: 2025 FCF (NON-GAAP)

We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measure for free cash flow* in 2025 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing for separation and restructuring related cash expenditures.
