I am confident that advancing our strategic priorities for today, tomorrow and the future, will enable us to meet the needs of our customers and create exceptional value for shareholders."

Results by Reporting Segment
The following discussions and variance explanations are intended to reflect management’s view of the relevant comparisons of financial results.
Commercial Engines & Services
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended June 30 | | Six months ended June 30 |
(Dollars in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | Year on Year | | 2024 | 2023 | Year on Year |
Orders | $9,152 | $6,653 | 38 | | % | | $17,466 | $12,847 | 36 | | % |
Revenue | 6,132 | 5,737 | 7 | | % | | 12,228 | 10,969 | 11 | | % |
Segment Profit/(Loss) | 1,679 | 1,389 | 21 | | % | | 3,098 | 2,603 | 19 | | % |
Segment Profit/(Loss) Margin | 27.4 | % | 24.2 | % | 320 | | bps | | 25.3 | % | 23.7 | % | 160 | | bps |
Orders of $9.2 billion increased 38% as both services and equipment were up over 30% with strong spare parts demand. Revenue of $6.1 billion grew 7% driven by services increasing 14% from internal shop visit growth, which outpaced spare parts. This more than offset equipment revenue, down 11% from lower shipments which was partially offset by customer mix and price. Profit of $1.7 billion was up 21%, with margins expanding 320 basis points driven by services volume, pricing, and mix. This more than offset lower spare engine deliveries and increased investments that impacted equipment profit.
Defense & Propulsion Technologies
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended June 30 | | Six months ended June 30 |
(Dollars in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | Year on Year | | 2024 | 2023 | Year on Year |

Revenues | 2,401 | 2,375 | 1 | | % | | 4,713 | 4,341 | 9 | | % |
Segment Profit/(Loss) | 344 | 201 | 71 | | % | | 600 | 402 | 49 | | % |
Segment Profit/(Loss) Margin | 14.3 | % | 8.5 | % | 580 | | bps | | 12.7 | % | 9.3 | % | 340 | | bps |
Orders of $2.3 billion were down (25)%, primarily due to timing of orders in Defense & Systems. Revenue increased 1%, driven by Propulsion & Additive Technologies revenue, which was up 16% with growth across several businesses. This was partially offset by Defense & Systems revenue, which was down (6)% due to lower engine deliveries, which more than offset services growth and price. Profit of $344 million, increased 71% year-over-year, with margins expanding 580 basis points, driven by mix, productivity, price and improved program performance.

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) revenues, specifically Adjusted revenues, (2) profit, specifically Operating profit and profit margin; Adjusted earnings (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS), (3) cash flows, specifically free cash flows (FCF), and (4) guidance, specifically 2024 Operating profit, 2024 Adjusted EPS and 2024 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 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. |

(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. |
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* 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. | | | | |

2024 GUIDANCE: 2024 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 2024 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing of any gains or losses related to acquisitions & dispositions, the timing and magnitude of the financial impact related to the mark-to-market of our remaining investment in GE HealthCare 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. |

•pricing, cost, volume and the timing of sales, investment and production by us and our customers, suppliers or other industry participants, as well as technology developments and other dynamics that could shift the demand or competitive landscape for our products and services;
•the impact of actual or potential safety or quality issues or failures of our products or third-party products with which our products are integrated, including design, production, performance, durability or other issues, and related costs and reputational effects;
•operational execution, including our performance amidst market growth and ramping newer product platforms, meeting delivery and other contractual obligations, improving turnaround times in our services businesses and reducing costs over time;

•our capital allocation plans, including the timing and amount of dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions, organic investments and other priorities;

•capital or liquidity needs associated with our run-off insurance operations and mortgage portfolio in Poland (Bank BPH), the amount and timing of any required future capital contributions and any strategic options that we may consider;
•changes in law, regulation or policy that may affect our businesses, such as trade policy and tariffs, government defense budgets, regulation, incentives and emissions offsetting or trading regimes related to climate change, and the effects of tax law changes;

•the other factors that are described in the "Risk Factors" section in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as such descriptions may be updated or amended in any future reports we file with the SEC.
These or other uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. This document includes certain forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts. Actual results could differ materially.
