CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.
GE HealthCare President and CEO Peter Arduini said, “In the third quarter, we reported sales and orders growth of 1% globally. Both sales and orders grew in the mid-single digits excluding China, with particular strength in the U.S. across all segments. Pharmaceutical Diagnostics also delivered solid performance, driven by healthy procedure volumes. Ongoing lean initiatives across the organization are delivering better value to patients and customers and have resulted in robust margin expansion.”
Third quarter 2024 total company financial performance
- Revenues of $4.9 billion increased 1% on both a reported and Organic* basis year-over-year. Positive revenue growth in the U.S. and in Pharmaceutical Diagnostics (PDx) was offset by continued market softness in China.
- Total company book-to-bill was 1.04 times. Total company orders increased 1% organically year-over-year.
- Net income attributable to GE HealthCare was $470 million versus $375 million for the prior year, and Adjusted EBIT* was $795 million versus $744 million.
- Net income margin was 9.7% versus 7.8% for the prior year, up 190 basis points (bps). Adjusted EBIT margin* was 16.3% versus 15.4%, up 90 bps as both measures saw benefits from productivity and price.
- Diluted EPS was $1.02 versus $0.83, up $0.20 from the prior year. Adjusted EPS* was $1.14 versus $0.99, up $0.15 from the prior year as both measures saw improved EBIT and lower tax expense.
- Cash flow from operating activities was $742 million, up $92 million year-over-year. Free cash flow* was $651 million, up $81 million year-over-year.
Third quarter 2024 segment financial performance (Unaudited)
Effective July 1, 2024, Image Guided Therapies, previously part of the Imaging segment, was realigned to the Ultrasound segment to better match its clinical usage and realize stronger business and customer impact by providing the right image guidance in the right care setting. The Ultrasound segment was subsequently renamed Advanced Visualization Solutions (AVS). Historical segment financial information presented herein has been recast to conform to the new reportable segments structure. The Company is providing recast financial information for fiscal years 2022, 2023, and the six months ended 2024 via a Form 8-K filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Growth and innovation
Mr. Arduini continued, “The recent FDA approval of our Flyrcado™ (flurpiridaz F18) injection in the U.S. is an important moment in molecular imaging as we continue to address unmet patient needs and advance more precise, personalized care. Flyrcado is a first-of-its-kind PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) agent for the detection of coronary artery disease. This milestone achievement has the potential to expand clinical and patient access to PET MPI.”

- Adjusted effective tax rate (ETR)* trending toward the lower end of the 23% to 25% range, given additional tax incentives recognized in third quarter 2024
- Adjusted EPS* in the range of $4.25 to $4.35, representing 8% to 11% growth versus Adjusted EPS* of $3.93 for 2023; this compares with prior range of $4.20 to $4.35

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are supplemental measures of GE HealthCare’s performance and its liquidity that the Company believes will help investors understand its financial condition, cash flows, and operating results, and assess its future prospects. When read in conjunction with the Company’s U.S. GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in GE HealthCare’s underlying businesses and can be used by management as one basis for making financial, operational, and planning decisions. Descriptions of the reported non-GAAP measures are included below.
The Company reports Organic revenue and Organic revenue growth rate to provide management and investors with additional understanding and visibility into the underlying revenue trends of the Company’s established, ongoing operations, as well as provide insights into overall demand for its products and services. To calculate these measures, the Company excludes the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency rate fluctuations.
The Company reports EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income margin, and Adjusted earnings per share to provide management and investors with additional understanding of its business by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors, on a normalized basis. To calculate these measures the Company excludes, and reflects in the detailed reconciliations below, the following adjustments as applicable: Interest and other financial charges - net, Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, Non-operating benefit (income) costs, Benefit (provision) for income taxes and certain tax related adjustments, and certain non-recurring and/or non-cash items. GE HealthCare may from time to time consider excluding other non-recurring items to enhance comparability between periods. Adjusted EBIT margin and Adjusted net income margin are calculated by taking Adjusted EBIT, or Adjusted net income, divided by Total revenues for the same period.
The Company reports Adjusted tax expense and Adjusted effective tax rate (“Adjusted ETR”) to provide investors with a better understanding of the normalized tax rate applicable to the business and provide more consistent comparability across periods. Adjusted tax expense excludes the income tax related to the pre-tax income adjustments included as part of Adjusted net income and certain income tax adjustments, such as adjustments to deferred tax assets or liabilities. The Company may from time to time consider excluding other non-recurring tax items to enhance comparability between periods. Adjusted ETR is Adjusted tax expense divided by income before income taxes less the pre-tax income adjustments referenced above.
The Company reports Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion to provide management and investors with an important measure of the ability to generate cash on a normalized basis and provide insight into the Company’s flexibility to allocate capital. Free cash flow is Cash from (used for) operating activities - continuing operations including cash flows related to the additions and dispositions of property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) and additions of internal-use software. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the capital required for debt repayments. Free cash flow conversion is calculated by taking Free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income.
Management recognizes that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes. In order to compensate for the discussed limitations, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure are provided below, and no single financial measure should be relied on to evaluate our business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Outlook
GE HealthCare calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Organic revenue growth, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted ETR, Adjusted EPS, and Free cash flow based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in GAAP financial measures. GE HealthCare does not provide reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the respective GAAP metrics as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort certain items such as the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, impacts associated with business acquisitions or dispositions, timing and magnitude of restructuring activities, and revaluation of strategic investments, amongst other items. The timing and amounts of these items are uncertain and could have a substantial impact on GE HealthCare’s results in accordance with GAAP.
Key Performance Indicators
