Management Discussion

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A). The consolidated financial statements of GE Aerospace are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Unless otherwise noted, tables are presented in U.S. dollars in millions. Certain columns and rows within tables may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented in this report are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions. Discussions throughout this MD&A are based on continuing operations unless otherwise noted. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial data but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of these data are considered "non-GAAP financial measures" under SEC rules. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for the reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS. Total revenues were $9.1 billion, up $0.3 billion for the quarter, driven primarily by an increase at Commercial Engines & Services.

Continuing earnings (loss) per share was $1.20. Excluding the results from our run-off Insurance business, separation, restructuring, and non-operating benefit costs and gains on retained and sold ownership interests, Adjusted earnings per share* was $1.20. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, profit margin was 15.9% and profit was down $0.1 billion, primarily due to a decrease in gains on retained and sold ownership interests of $0.8 billion, partially offset by an increase in segment profit of $0.4 billion, an increase in Insurance profit of $0.1 billion and decreases of $0.1 billion in both separation costs and Adjusted Corporate & Other operating costs*. Operating profit margin* was 23.1% and operating profit* was up $0.5 billion, driven by increased segment profit of $0.4 billion and lower Adjusted Corporate & Other operating costs*.

Cash flows from operating activities (CFOA) were $2.6 billion and $1.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities 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 (gains) losses related to our retained and sold ownership interests in GE HealthCare, AerCap and Baker Hughes), partially offset by a decrease in All other operating activities. Free cash flows* (FCF) were $2.8 billion and $1.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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) is unfilled customer orders for products and product services (expected life of contract sales for product services) excluding any purchase order that provides the customer with the ability to cancel or terminate without incurring a substantive penalty. See Note 23 for further information.

SEGMENT OPERATIONS

COMMERCIAL ENGINES & SERVICES. Commercial Engines & Services (CES) designs, develops, manufactures and services jet engines for commercial airframes, as well as business aviation and aeroderivative applications. The services CES provides include maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of engines and the sale of spare parts. We offer these services under a variety of contracts, including time and material contracts, as well as other long-term service arrangements. Our customers for equipment and services include, but are not limited to, airframers, airlines and third-party MRO shops. CES engines power aircraft in all categories: narrowbody, widebody and regional, which includes engines sold by joint venture partners, the most significant of which is CFM International, a 50-50 non-consolidated joint venture with Safran Aircraft Engines, a subsidiary of Safran Group of France.

Significant Trends & Developments. Our results in the second quarter of 2024 reflect robust demand for commercial air travel. A key underlying driver of our CES business is global commercial departures, which grew 9% during the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months 2023. We continue to estimate departures growth will be high-single digits in 2024. We are in frequent dialogue with our airline, airframe, and MRO customers about the outlook for commercial air travel, new aircraft production, fleet retirements, and after-market services, including shop visit and spare parts demand.

Internal shop visit output grew in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023; while total engine deliveries decreased. Global material availability and supplier delivery performance continue to cause disruptions and have impacted our production and delivery of equipment to our customers. We are investing in our manufacturing facilities, overhaul facilities and our supply chain to increase production and strengthen yield in order to improve support for our customers. We continue to partner with our suppliers to improve material input, and work with our customers to calibrate future production rates. We are leveraging FLIGHT DECK and partnering with suppliers to improve material input and proactively managing the impact of inflationary pressure by driving cost productivity and adjusting the pricing of our products and services. We expect the impact of inflation will continue, and we are continuing to take action to mitigate the impact.

2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 5

Total engineering investments, both company and partner-funded, increased compared to the prior year. We remain committed to investing in developing and maturing technologies that enable a more sustainable future of flight. Notably, CFM International's Revolutionary Innovation for Sustainable Engines (RISE) program is a suite of pioneering technologies including Open Fan, compact core, hybrid electric systems and alternative fuels. We are developing a hybrid electric demonstrator engine with NASA that embeds generators in a turbofan engine and initial hybrid electric component and baseline engine tests have been completed in 2024. This is one of several initiatives underway to help make hybrid electric commercial flight possible.

CES has a deep history of innovation and technology leadership with a commercial engine fleet in service, including units produced by joint ventures, of approximately 44,000 units. Approximately 13,000 units are under long-term service agreements, which will support recurring, profitable services growth for the future. We believe these strong fundamentals position CES to generate long-term profitable growth and higher cash flow over time.

2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 6

Propulsion & Additive Technologies - Propulsion & Additive Technologies is a portfolio of businesses including Avio Aero, Unison, Dowty Propellers and Colibrium Additive. Each operates with a strong and recognized brand serving customers across the Aerospace industry. We primarily design, develop, manufacture and support aircraft components and systems for both commercial and military end users. These include small turboprop engines, aeroengine mechanical transmissions, turbines, combustors and controls, additive manufacturing, propeller systems, ignition systems, sensors and engine accessories for both fixed wing and rotorcraft applications. Avio Aero is a strategic partner in Europe supporting development of indigenous, classified engine technology and a core member of Clean Aviation, significantly contributing and benefiting from the European Union sustainability roadmap.

Significant Trends & Developments. Our results in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 reflect domestic and international government defense departments' focus on modernizing and scaling their forces. Specifically, we saw revenue growth in development programs during the first six months of 2024 compared to first six months of 2023, as the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) is focused on advanced combat, enhancing platform capability and groundbreaking technology primarily in classified programs. We continue to forecast strong demand across the segment, creating future growth opportunities. A key underlying driver of our business is government funding, as most of the revenue in Defense & Systems is derived from funding that flows through the DoD budget, or equivalent international budgets. National defense budgets are expected to grow in the U.S. in the low-single digits and internationally in the mid-single digits. In March 2024, Congress passed its defense funding bill for fiscal year 2024, which includes funding that supports our advanced engine development research, classified programs and product procurement and maintenance in other engine lines. The DoD and international governments have continued flight operations driving services demand, and have allocated budgets to upgrade and modernize existing fleets, including support for the next generation T901 turboshaft engine and advanced engine architectures. In June 2024, GE Aerospace delivered two T901-GE-900 engines to Sikorsky for integration and testing aboard a UH-60 Black Hawk as part of the U.S. Army upgrade program. In addition, GE Aerospace was awarded a $1.1 billion contract to provide T700 series turbine engines to the U.S. Army through the first half of 2029.

Our Defense engine unit sales decreased in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 due to global material availability and supplier delivery performance. We are working closely with our suppliers to improve material input and better support our customers. In addition, we are leveraging FLIGHT DECK and partnering with suppliers to improve material input and proactively managing the impact of inflationary pressure by driving cost productivity and adjusting the pricing of our products and services.

Adjusted Corporate & Other operating costs* excludes gains (losses) on purchases and sales of business interests, gains (losses) on retained and sold ownership interests and other equity securities, higher-cost restructuring programs, separation costs, our run-off Insurance operations and U.S. tax equity profit (loss). We believe that adjusting Corporate & Other costs to exclude the effects of items that are not closely associated with ongoing corporate operations provides management and investors with a meaningful measure that increases the period-to-period comparability of our ongoing corporate costs.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, revenues decreased by $0.1 billion due to higher intersegment eliminations. Corporate & Other operating costs increased by $0.5 billion due to $0.8 billion of lower gains on retained and sold ownership interests and other equity securities, primarily related to our GE HealthCare and AerCap investments, offset by $0.1 billion each for lower separation costs and higher run-off Insurance operations profit.

Adjusted Corporate & Other operating costs* decreased by $0.1 billion primarily due to a reduction in our core functional cost and favorability from higher bank interest, partially offset by higher intersegment eliminations of $0.1 billion primarily resulting from additional intercompany volume related to engine part sales.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, revenues decreased by $0.2 billion due to higher segment eliminations, partially offset by an increase in our run-off Insurance operations revenues. Corporate & Other operating profit decreased by $5.6 billion due to $6.0 billion of lower gains on retained and sold ownership interests and other equity securities, primarily related to our GE HealthCare and AerCap investments and $0.1 billion of higher restructuring and other charges, partially offset by $0.2 billion of higher run-off Insurance operations profit and $0.1 billion of lower losses on purchases and sales of business interests, primarily due to additional valuation allowance losses recognized in the first half of 2023 related to the classification of the Electric Insurance business as held-for-sale in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Corporate & Other operating costs* decreased by $0.1 billion primarily due to a reduction in our core functional cost and favorability from higher bank interest, partially offset by higher intersegment eliminations of $0.1 billion primarily resulting from additional intercompany volume related to engine part sales.

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 & Other. 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 19 for further information on restructuring and separation costs.

INTEREST AND OTHER FINANCIAL CHARGES were $0.2 billion for both the three months ended and $0.5 billion for both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The primary components of interest and other financial charges are interest on short- and long-term borrowings.

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS. Refer to Note 13 for information about our pension and retiree benefit plans.

INCOME TAXES. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the effective income tax rate was 8.6% compared to 16.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The provision for income taxes was $0.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The changes in the tax provision was primarily due to an increase in tax benefit associated with separation activities and a tax benefit associated with global activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to tax expense for global activities in the three months ended June 30, 2023, offset by an increase in tax expense due to higher pre-tax income excluding gains and losses on our retained and sold ownership interests.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the adjusted effective income tax rate* was 20.3% compared to 24.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes* was $0.3 billion and $0.3 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in the tax provision was primarily due to the tax effect of the increase in adjusted earnings before taxes* partially offset by a tax benefit associated with global activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a tax expense associated with global activities for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the effective income tax rate was 10.7% compared to 5.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. See Note 15 for further information.

The provision for income taxes was $0.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the tax provision was primarily due to a tax benefit associated with separation activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to a tax expense associated with separation activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by an increase in tax expense related to the increase in pre-tax income excluding gains and losses on our retained and sold ownership interests.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the adjusted effective income tax rate* was 20.5% compared to 21.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes* was $0.6 billion and $0.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in the tax provision was primarily due to the tax effect of the increase in adjusted earnings before taxes* partially offset by the benefit of a lower adjusted effective income tax rate*.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS primarily comprise our former GE Vernova and GE HealthCare businesses, our mortgage portfolio in Poland (Bank BPH) and other trailing assets and liabilities associated with prior dispositions. Results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and the notes to the financial statements have been adjusted on a retrospective basis. See Note 2 for further information regarding our businesses in discontinued operations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

FINANCIAL POLICY. GE Aerospace is committed to maintaining strong investment grade ratings with a disciplined capital allocation strategy. The Company will continue to invest in future growth and innovation through research and development and capital expenditures. We intend to return a majority of our free cash flow* to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. Merger and acquisition investments will be pursued in a disciplined way and focused on those that offer strategic, operational and financial synergies.

LIQUIDITY POLICY. We maintain a strong focus on liquidity and define our liquidity risk tolerance based on sources and uses to maintain a sufficient liquidity position to meet our business needs and financial obligations under both normal and stressed conditions. We believe that our consolidated liquidity and availability under our revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs.

CONSOLIDATED LIQUIDITY. Our primary sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents, free cash flows* from our operating businesses, and short-term borrowing facilities, including revolving credit facilities. Cash generation can be subject to variability based on many factors, including seasonality, receipt of down payments on large equipment orders, timing of billings on long-term contracts, timing of customer allowances and market conditions. Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $12.1 billion at June 30, 2024, of which $5.0 billion was held in the U.S. and $7.1 billion was held outside the U.S.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measure

2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 9

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 repatriation to the U.S. would potentially be partially offset by a U.S. foreign tax credit.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at June 30, 2024 included $0.3 billion of cash held in countries with currency control restrictions. 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. Excluded from cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $1.4 billion of cash in our run-off Insurance business, which was classified as All other assets in the Statement of Financial Position.

As part of the spin-off of GE HealthCare completed in the first quarter of 2023, we retained an approximately 19.9% stake of GE HealthCare common stock upon the spin. During the first quarter of 2024, we received total proceeds of $2.6 billion from the disposition of 31.1 million shares of GE HealthCare. As of June 30, 2024, our remaining interest in GEHC investment is 30.5 million shares. We intend to exit our remaining stake in GE HealthCare over time, in an orderly manner. See Notes 3 and 18 for further information.

Following approval of a statutory permitted accounting practice in 2018 by our primary insurance regulator, the Kansas Insurance Department (KID), we have since provided a total of $15.0 billion of capital contributions to our insurance subsidiaries, including the final contribution of $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 2024. See Note 12 for further information.

On March 7, 2024, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $15.0 billion of our common stock, which replaced its prior $3.0 billion share repurchase authorization. Under this program, shares may be repurchased on the open market, under accelerated share repurchase programs, or under plans complying with rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 as amended. In connection with this new authorization, we repurchased 11.7 million shares for $1.9 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

BORROWINGS. Consolidated total borrowings were $19.7 billion and $20.5 billion at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, a decrease of $0.9 billion, mainly due to maturities. In April 2024, the Company replaced its previous $10.0 billion syndicated credit facility with a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $3.0 billion.

CREDIT RATINGS AND CONDITIONS. We have relied, and may continue to rely, on the short- and long-term debt capital markets to fund, among other things, a significant portion of our operations. The cost and availability of debt financing is influenced by our credit ratings. Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), Standard and Poor's Global Ratings (S&P) and Fitch Ratings (Fitch) currently issue ratings on our short- and long-term debt. Our credit ratings as of the date of this filing are set forth in the table below.

Long termBaa1BBB+BBB+

In connection with the spin-off of GE Vernova, in the first quarter of 2024, Moody's changed its outlook from stable to positive. Fitch changed its long term rating from BBB to BBB+. Our ratings may be subject to a revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Substantially all of the Company's debt agreements in place at June 30, 2024 do not contain material credit rating covenants. Our unused back-up revolving syndicated credit facility contain a customary net debt-to-EBITDA financial covenant, which we satisfied at June 30, 2024.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND INTEREST RATE RISK. As a result of our global operations, we generate and incur a small portion of our revenues and expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Such principal currencies include the euro, the British Sterling pound, and Brazilian real. The effect of foreign currency fluctuations on earnings was immaterial. See Note 20 for further information about our risk exposures, our use of derivatives, and the effects of this activity on our financial statements.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

CASH FLOWS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. The most significant source of cash in 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 post retirement plans.

Cash from operating activities was $2.6 billion in 2024, an increase of $1.1 billion compared to 2023, primarily due to: an increase in net income (after adjusting for depreciation of property, plant, and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash (gains) losses related to our retained and sold ownership interests in GE HealthCare, AerCap and Baker Hughes) driven by all segments, partially offset by a decrease in All other operating activities. The components of All other operating activities were as follows:

Other deferred assets(108)157

All other operating activities$(528)$42

The cash impacts from changes in working capital compared to prior year were as follows: current receivables of $0.3 billion, driven by higher collections, including increased collections from CFM International; inventories, including deferred inventory, of $(0.5) billion, driven by higher material purchases and lower liquidations primarily due to output challenges; current contract assets, contract liabilities and current deferred income of $(0.1) billion, driven by higher revenue recognition on our long-term service agreements, partially offset by higher billings on those agreements and net unfavorable changes in estimated profitability; progress collections of $0.2 billion, driven by higher collections; and accounts payable of $0.2 billion, driven by higher volume partially offset by higher disbursements related to purchases of materials in prior periods.

Cash used for investing activities was $2.0 billion in 2024, an increase of $4.3 billion compared to 2023, primarily due to: higher cash paid related to net settlements between our continuing operations and businesses in discontinued operations of $3.2 billion, primarily related to the separation of GE Vernova of $1.8 billion in 2024 and lower cash received of $1.4 billion, primarily related to the separation of GE HealthCare in 2023 (components of All other investing activities); a decrease in proceeds of $1.7 billion from the disposition of our retained ownership interest primarily driven by the nonrecurrence of dispositions of AerCap and Baker Hughes in 2023, partially offset by the disposition of GE HealthCare in 2024. These increases in cash used were partially offset by lower net purchases of insurance investment securities of $0.4 billion. Cash used for additions to property, plant and equipment and internal-use software, which are components of free cash flows*, was $0.5 billion and $0.4 billion in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cash used for financing activities was $3.0 billion in 2024, a decrease of $3.4 billion compared to 2023, primarily due to: the nonrecurrence of cash paid for redemption of GE preferred stock of $3.0 billion in 2023; lower net debt maturities of $2.0 billion; and an increase in cash received of $0.7 billion from stock option exercises (a component of All other financing activities); partially offset by an increase in treasury stock repurchases of $2.0 billion.

CASH FLOWS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Cash used for operating activities of discontinued operations was $0.7 billion in 2024, a decrease of $0.7 billion compared to 2023, primarily driven by lower net losses from our former GE Vernova business and disbursements for purchases of materials and separation costs incurred by our former GE HealthCare business in 2023.

Cash used for investing activities of discontinued operations was $1.5 billion in 2024, a decrease of $1.0 billion compared to 2023, primarily driven by higher cash received of $3.2 billion from net settlements between our discontinued operations and businesses in continuing operations, due to cash received of $1.8 billion in 2024 related to the separation of our former GE Vernova business and the nonrecurrence of cash paid of $1.2 billion in 2023 related to the separation of our former GE HealthCare business. In addition, there was a decrease in cash used due to the prior year separation of GE HealthCare cash and equivalents of $1.8 billion. These decreases in cash used were partially offset by a reduction of cash and equivalents of $4.2 billion due to the separation of GE Vernova in 2024.

Cash used for financing activities of discontinued operations was $0.1 billion in 2024, a decrease of $2.1 billion compared to 2023, primarily driven by the nonrecurrence of GE HealthCare's long-term debt issuance of $2.0 billion in connection with the spin-off in 2023.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES. Please refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Other Items sections within MD&A and Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a discussion of our accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.

OTHER ITEMS

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In November of 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments are intended to increase reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the disclosures within our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments require disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our consolidated financial statements.

2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 11

GE VERNOVA PARENT COMPANY GUARANTEES. To support GE Vernova in selling products and services globally, the Company often entered into contracts on behalf of GE Vernova or issued parent company guarantees or trade finance instruments supporting the performance of what were subsidiary legal entities transacting directly with customers, in addition to providing similar credit support for non-customer related activities of GE Vernova (collectively, "GE Aerospace credit support"). Prior to the spin-off in the second quarter of 2024, GE Vernova had been working to seek novation or assignment of GE Aerospace credit support, the majority of which relates to parent company guarantees, associated with GE Vernova legal entities from GE Aerospace to GE Vernova. For GE Aerospace credit support that remains outstanding post-spin, GE Vernova is obligated to use reasonable best efforts to terminate or replace and obtain a full release of the Company's obligations and liabilities under, all such credit support. Beginning in 2025, GE Vernova will pay a quarterly fee to the Company based on amounts related to the GE Aerospace credit support, for which we have recorded a stand ready to perform obligation. GE Vernova will face other contractual restrictions and requirements while the Company continues to be obligated under such credit support on behalf of GE Vernova. While the Company will remain obligated under the contract or instrument, GE Vernova will be obligated to indemnify the Company for credit support related payments that the Company is required to make.

As of second quarter 2024, we estimated GE Vernova RPO and other obligations that relate to GE Aerospace credit support to be approximately $29.0 billion, an over 50% reduction since year end, of which, approximately $1 billion are financial guarantees. We expect, approximately $16 billion of the of RPO related to GE Aerospace credit support obligations to contractually mature within five years from the date of spin-off and credit support on financial guarantees to not exceed a year beyond separation. The Company's maximum aggregate exposure under the GE Aerospace credit support cannot be reasonably estimated given the breadth of the portfolio across each of the GE Vernova businesses. The underlying obligations are predominantly customer contracts that GE Vernova performs in the course of its business. We have no known instances historically where payments or performance from us were required under parent company guarantees relating to GE Vernova customer contracts. See Note 22 for additional details regarding guarantees.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. 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) revenues, specifically, Adjusted revenues, (2) profit, specifically, Operating profit and Operating profit margin; Adjusted earnings (loss); Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) and Adjusted effective income tax rate, and (3) cash flows, specifically free cash flows (FCF). The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow.

(a) See the Corporate & Other and Other Consolidated Information sections for further information.

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 Operating profit* as a performance metric at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2024.

Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total.

The service cost for 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. We believe the retained cost in Adjusted earnings* and the Adjusted effective income tax rate* 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 performance stock units granted in 2024.

We believe investors may find it useful to compare free cash flows* performance without the effects of separation cash expenditures and Corporate & Other restructuring cash expenditures (associated with the separation-related program announced in October 2022). We believe this measure will better allow management and investors to evaluate the capacity of our operations to generate free cash flows. 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.
