GE AEROSPACE

PRELIMINARY UNAUDITED SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On April 2, 2024, General Electric Company completed the previously announced separation (the "Separation") of GE Vernova Inc. ("GE Vernova"). General Electric Company now operates as GE Aerospace (the "Company"). The Separation of GE Vernova was achieved through the Company's pro rata distribution (the "Distribution") of all of the outstanding shares of GE Vernova common stock to holders of record of the Company's common stock. Each holder of record of the Company's common stock received one share of GE Vernova common stock for every four shares of the Company's common stock held on March 19, 2024, the record date for the distribution. In lieu of fractional shares of GE Vernova, shareholders of the Company will receive cash. On April 2, 2024, GE Vernova's common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "GEV." After the Distribution, the Company no longer consolidates GE Vernova into its financial results.

In connection with the Separation, the historical results of GE Vernova and certain assets and liabilities included in the Separation will be reported in the Company's consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations beginning in the second quarter of 2024. In addition, the Company now operates through two reportable segments: Commercial Engines and Services and Defense and Propulsion Technologies.

The following preliminary unaudited supplemental consolidated financial information is presented to reflect the reclassification of the GE Vernova business to discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2024 presented herein. Non-GAAP Financial Measures are presented excluding the results of GE Vernova to provide investors with a relevant comparison for the Company's future results. This informational Form 8-K in no way revises or restates the previously filed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the Company for any period presented.

This preliminary unaudited supplemental consolidated financial information, Non-GAAP Financial Measures and the notes thereto should be read together with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto filed for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed for for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

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. The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow. Certain columns or rows within these reconciliations may not add or recalculate due to the use of rounded numbers. Totals are presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS (LOSS) (NON-GAAP)	Three months ended March 31, 2024
(In billions; per-share amounts in dollars)	Earnings	EPS
Earnings (loss) from continuing operations (GAAP)	$	1.7	$	1.58

Tax effect on restructuring & other	-	0.01
Less: Restructuring & other (net of tax)	(0.1)	(0.05)
Separation costs (pre-tax)	(0.3)	(0.23)
Tax effect on separation costs	-	0.03
Less: Separation costs (net of tax)	(0.2)	(0.20)
Less: Excise tax and accretion of preferred share redemption	-	-
Adjusted earnings (loss) (Non-GAAP)	$	1.0	$	0.93
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 annual executive incentive plan.

FREE CASH FLOWS (FCF) (NON-GAAP) (In billions)	Three months ended March 31, 2024
Cash from operating activities - continuing operations (GAAP)	$	1.6
Add: gross additions to property, plant and equipment and internal-use software	(0.2)
Less: separation cash expenditures	(0.2)
Less: Corporate restructuring cash expenditures	(0.1)
Free cash flows (Non-GAAP)	$	1.7
We believe investors may find it useful to compare free cash flows* performance without the effects of cash flows for separation cash expenditures and Corporate 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*.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measure
