- Profit growth in six of seven Industrial businesses

GE [NYSE: GE] announced today second-quarter 2013 operating earnings of $3.7 billion, or $0.36 per share, down 8% and 5% respectively from the second quarter of 2012. GAAP earnings from continuing operations were $3.3 billion, or $0.31 per share, down 11% and 9% respectively. Net earnings of $3.1 billion, or $0.30 per share, rose 1% and 3% respectively from the year-ago period. Positive items of $0.02 per share were more than offset by $0.04 per share of restructuring and other items. Revenues were $35.1 billion for the quarter, down 4% from the year-ago period.
“In the second quarter, GE achieved Industrial segment profit growth in six of seven businesses, reduced structural costs, and continued to invest in growth,” said GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt. “We executed in a business environment that was slightly improved versus the first quarter. Emerging markets remain resilient, and in the U.S. we saw strong growth in orders this quarter. Europe is stabilizing but still challenged. We expect margin expansion to continue and segment profits to grow in the second half of the year.”
Infrastructure orders for the quarter rose 4% to $24.1 billion. GE’s backlog of equipment and services at the end of the quarter was its highest ever at $223 billion, up $7 billion from the first quarter. Infrastructure order pricing rose 0.9% for the quarter.
Industrial segment margins rose 50 basis points in the quarter. Strong price performance and material deflation contributed to $293 million of positive value gap. This was partially offset by unfavorable volume timing for Power & Water. Unit shipments in Power & Water are expected to strengthen in the second half of the year. The Company has reduced Industrial structural costs $474 million year-to-date. GE remains on track for planned margin growth of 70 basis points for the year.
During the quarter, GE and its aircraft engine joint ventures announced Aviation wins totaling more than $26 billion at the Paris Air Show. This included commitments for $8.6 billion for CFM LEAP engines and CFM56-5B engines for AirAsia, $1.8 billion for GEnx engines for United Airlines, and $760 million for CFM LEAP engines in 30 Boeing 737 MAX 8 airplanes for CIT Group. In Healthcare Systems, U.S. equipment orders grew 9% versus the year-ago period.
GE Capital progressed with its strategy to decrease the size of its portfolio and focus on its core businesses. GE Capital earnings fell 9%, in line with planned asset reductions. ENI (excluding cash and equivalents) was $391 billion at quarter-end. Volume was up 5% for the quarter, with good returns. General Electric Capital Corporation’s (GECC) Tier 1 common ratio under Basel 1 rose 108 basis points to 11.2%, and net interest margin was strong at 5%. During the quarter, GECC paid $1.9 billion in dividends to the parent, and GE announced plans for up to $6.5 billion in total GECC dividends for 2013.
GE generated $5.1 billion in total cash from operating activities (CFOA) during the second quarter, excluding NBCU deal-related taxes. CFOA was lower year-to-date primarily due to NBCU deal-related taxes. GE ended the quarter with $89 billion of consolidated cash and cash equivalents. GE Capital commercial paper outstanding was $36 billion at quarter-end, down from $43 billion at the end of 2012.
GE continues to execute on its balanced, disciplined capital allocation plan. GE has returned $9.9 billion to investors year-to-date through dividends and share buybacks. In the second quarter, GE announced the $3.3 billion acquisition of Lufkin Industries, a leading provider of artificial lift technologies for the oil and gas industry and a manufacturer of industrial gears. This transaction closed on July 1, 2013. GE’s December 2012-announced acquisition of the aviation business of Avio, an Italy-based manufacturer of aviation propulsion components and systems for civil and military aircraft, remains on track to close in the second half of 2013.
Immelt concluded, “This quarter we delivered Industrial segment profit growth. We continue to execute on operational priorities within our control: achieving our cost-out goals, maintaining a very strong cash position, reducing the size of GE Capital, and returning substantial cash to shareholders. Our overall framework for the year is unchanged.”
Second-quarter Highlights:
Second-quarter operating earnings were $3.7 billion, down 8% from second-quarter 2012 and operating EPS was $0.36, down 5%. GAAP earnings from continuing operations (attributable to GE) were $3.3 billion, down 11% to $0.31 per share and down 9% from the second quarter of 2012. Positive items of $0.02 per share were more than offset by $0.04 per share of restructuring and other items.
Including the effects of discontinued operations, second-quarter net earnings attributable to GE were $3.1 billion ($0.30 per share) in 2013 compared with $3.1 billion ($0.29 per share) in the second quarter of 2012. This is an increase in net earnings of 1% and net EPS of 3%.
Second-quarter revenues were down 4% at $35.1 billion. Industrial sales of $24.6 billion fell 2% versus the second quarter of 2012. GECC revenues of $11 billion fell 3% from last year.
Cash generated from GE operating activities year-to-date totaled $3.7 billion ($5.3 billion excluding NBCU-related taxes), compared to $6.8 billion last year.

Segment profit excludes or includes interest and other financial charges and income taxes according to how a particular segment’s management is measured – excluded in determining segment profit, which we sometimes refer to as “operating profit,” for Power & Water, Oil & Gas, Energy Management, Aviation, Healthcare, Transportation and Home & Business Solutions; included in determining segment profit, which we sometimes refer to as “net earnings,” for GE Capital. Certain corporate costs, such as shared services, employee benefits and information technology are allocated to our segments based on usage. A portion of the remaining corporate costs are allocated based on each segment’s relative net cost of operations. |

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP |
We sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial information but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure. We have referred to operating earnings, operating earnings per share (EPS), GE Capital ending net investment (ENI) excluding cash and equivalents, cash generated from GE Industrial operating activities (Industrial CFOA), GE CFOA excluding NBCU deal-related taxes and Industrial CFOA excluding NBCU deal-related taxes. The reconciliations of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measures follow. |

(a) Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total. |
Operating earnings excludes non-service related pension costs of our principal pension plans comprising interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization of actuarial gains/losses. The service cost and prior service cost components of our principal pension plans are included in operating earnings. We believe that these components of pension cost better reflect the ongoing service-related costs of providing pension benefits to our employees. As such, we believe that our measure of operating earnings provides management and investors with a useful measure of the operational results of our business. Other components of GAAP pension cost are mainly driven by market performance, and we manage these separately from the operational performance of our businesses. Neither GAAP nor operating pension costs are necessarily indicative of the current or future cash flow requirements related to our pension plan. We also believe that this measure, considered along with the corresponding GAAP measure, provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies. |

We use ENI to measure the size of our GE Capital segment. We believe that this measure is a useful indicator of the capital (debt or equity) required to fund a business as it adjusts for non-interest bearing current liabilities generated in the normal course of business that do not require a capital outlay. We also believe that by excluding cash and equivalents, we provide a meaningful measure of assets requiring capital to fund our GE Capital segment as a substantial amount of this cash resulted from debt issuances to pre-fund future debt maturities and will not be used to fund additional assets. Providing this measure will help investors measure how we are performing against our previously communicated goal to reduce the size of our financial services segment.

We define “Industrial CFOA” as GE’s cash from operating activities (continuing operations) less the amount of dividends received by GE from GECC. This includes the effects of intercompany transactions, including GE customer receivables sold to GECC; GECC services for trade receivables management and material procurement; buildings and equipment (including automobiles) leased by GE from GECC; information technology (IT) and other services sold to GECC by GE; aircraft engines manufactured by GE that are installed on aircraft purchased by GECC from third-party producers for lease to others; and various investments, loans and allocations of GE corporate overhead costs. We believe that investors may find it useful to compare GE’s operating cash flows without the effect of GECC dividends, since these dividends are not representative of the operating cash flows of our industrial businesses and can vary from period to period based upon the results of the financial services businesses. We also believe that investors may find it useful to compare GE’s operating cash flows and Industrial CFOA excluding the effects of taxes paid related to the NBCU transaction and 2012 pension contributions. Management recognizes that these measures may not be comparable to cash flow results of companies which contain both industrial and financial services businesses, but believes that this comparison is aided by the provision of additional information about the amounts of dividends paid by our financial services business and the separate presentation in our financial statements of the GECC cash flows. We believe that our measures of Industrial CFOA and Industrial CFOA excluding certain items provides management and investors with useful measures to compare the capacity of our industrial operations to generate operating cash flow with the operating cash flow of other non-financial businesses and companies and as such provides useful measures to supplement the reported GAAP CFOA measure.
