NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries ("GE HealthCare," the "Company," "our," "us," or "we") is a leading global medical technology, pharmaceutical diagnostics, and digital solutions innovator. We operate at the center of the healthcare ecosystem, helping enable precision care by increasing health system capacity, enhancing productivity, digitizing healthcare delivery, and improving clinical outcomes while serving patients' demand for greater efficiency, access, and personalized medicine. Our products, services, and solutions are designed to enable clinicians to make more informed decisions quickly and efficiently, improving patient care from diagnosis to therapy to monitoring.
On January 3, 2023, the General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace, ("GE") completed the spin-off of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (the "Spin-Off"). The Spin-Off was completed through a distribution of approximately 80.1% of the Company's outstanding common stock to holders of record of GE's common stock as of the close of business on December 16, 2022 (the "Distribution"), which resulted in the issuance of approximately 454 million shares of common stock. Prior to the Distribution, the Company issued 100 shares of common stock in exchange for $1.00, all of which were held by GE as of December 31, 2022. As a result of the Distribution, the Company became an independent public company. On April 2, 2024, GE completed the separation of its GE Vernova business into an independent publicly traded company. As of June 30, 2024, GE's beneficial ownership was approximately 6.7% of the Company's outstanding common stock.
In connection with the Spin-Off, certain adjustments were recorded to reflect transfers from GE, the draw-down of the Term Loan Facility, and settlement of Spin-Off transactions with GE, which resulted in the net reduction in Total equity of $2,840 million. These items substantially consisted of the transfer of: (1) certain pension plan liabilities and assets, (2) certain deferred income taxes, (3) deferred compensation liabilities, and (4) employee termination obligations.
In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into or adopted several agreements that provide a framework for the relationship between the Company and GE. See Note 17, "Related Parties and Transition Services Agreement" for more information on these agreements and related transactions.
The condensed consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and operating results have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in the financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The December 31, 2023 period presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The following tables are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Certain columns and rows throughout this document may not sum due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts.
Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which provides additional detail to readers of the financial statements. Amounts related to current compensation and benefit obligations that were previously reported within the All other current liabilities and All other operating activities lines on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and Statements of Cash Flows, respectively, have been reclassified to separate lines on the respective financial statements.
The financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future, economic and market conditions, which affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although our estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 requires annual and interim disclosures that are expected to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09.
NOTE 2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our revenues primarily consist of sales of products and services to customers. Products include equipment, imaging agents, software-related offerings, and upgrades. Services include contractual and stand-by preventative maintenance and corrective services, as well as on-demand service parts, extended warranties, training, and other service-type offerings. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when the customer obtains control of the underlying products or services.
CONTRACT ASSETS.
Contract assets reflect revenue recognized on contracts with customers in excess of billings based on contractual terms. Contract assets are classified as current or non-current based on the amount of time expected to lapse until the Company's right to consideration becomes unconditional. Other deferred assets consist of costs to obtain contracts, primarily commissions, other cost deferrals for shipped products, and deferred service, labor, and direct overhead costs.

(1)Non-current contract and other deferred assets are recognized within All other non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
CONTRACT LIABILITIES.
Contract liabilities include customer advances and deposits received when orders are placed and billed in advance of completion of performance obligations. Contract liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the periods over which remaining performance obligations ("RPO") are expected to be satisfied with our customers.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract liabilities were approximately $2,562 million and $2,623 million, respectively, of which the non-current portion of $685 million and $705 million, respectively, was recognized in All other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Contract liabilities decreased $61 million in 2024 primarily due to a decrease in customer advances. Revenue recognized related to the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was approximately $1,116 million and $1,105 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS.
RPO represents the estimated revenue expected from customer contracts that are partially or fully unperformed inclusive of amounts deferred in contract liabilities, excluding contracts, or portions thereof, that provide the customer with the ability to cancel or terminate without incurring a substantive penalty. As of June 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of the contracted revenues allocated to our unsatisfied performance obligations was $14,531 million. We expect to recognize revenue as we satisfy our RPO as follows: a) product-related RPO of $4,648 million of which 98% is expected to be recognized within two years, and the remaining thereafter; and b) services-related RPO of $9,883 million of which 64% and 93% are expected to be recognized within two years and five years, respectively, and the remaining thereafter.

NOTE 3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
As of June 30, 2024, GE HealthCare's operations were organized and managed through four reportable segments: Imaging, Ultrasound, Patient Care Solutions ("PCS"), and Pharmaceutical Diagnostics ("PDx"). These segments have been identified based on the nature of the products sold and how the Company manages its operations. We have not aggregated any of our operating segments to form reportable segments. A description of our reportable segments has been provided in the "Business" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
The performance of these segments was principally measured based on Total revenues and an earnings metric defined as "Segment EBIT." Segment EBIT is calculated as Income before income taxes in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income excluding the impact of the following: Interest and other financial charges - net, Non-operating benefit (income) costs, restructuring costs, acquisition and disposition-related benefits (charges), gain (loss) on business and asset dispositions, Spin-Off and separation costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and investment revaluation gain (loss).

NOTE 7. ACQUISITIONS, GOODWILL, AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
ACQUISITIONS.
MIM Software
On April 1, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of MIM Software Inc. ("MIM Software") for approximately $259 million, net of cash acquired, $13 million of potential earn-out payments, and up to $23 million of other contingent payments based on service requirements. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $195 million, customer-related intangible assets of $52 million, developed technology intangible assets of $48 million, net deferred tax liabilities of $19 million, and other net assets of $7 million. The goodwill associated with the acquired business, recorded within the Imaging segment, is non-deductible for tax purposes and is attributed to expected synergies and commercial benefits from use of the MIM Software technology in our existing GE HealthCare portfolio. MIM Software is a global provider of medical imaging analysis and artificial intelligence ("AI") solutions for the practice of radiation oncology, molecular radiotherapy, diagnostic imaging, and urology at imaging centers, hospitals, specialty clinics, and research organizations worldwide.
Revenue and earnings of MIM Software included in the Company's financial statements since the acquisition date are not material to our consolidated revenue and earnings. If the acquisition of MIM Software had taken place as of the beginning of 2023, consolidated revenues and earnings would not have been significantly different from reported amounts.
Caption Health
On February 17, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Caption Health, Inc. ("Caption Health") for $127 million of upfront payment, $10 million of future holdback payment, and potential earn-out payments valued at $13 million based primarily on various milestones and sales targets. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $94 million, intangible assets of $60 million, and deferred tax liabilities of $3 million. The purchase price allocation for Caption Health was finalized in the first quarter of 2024 without material adjustments. The goodwill associated with the acquired business is non-deductible for tax purposes and is reported in the Ultrasound segment. Caption Health is an AI company whose technology expands access to AI-guided ultrasound screening for novice users.

We assess the possibility that a reporting unit's fair value has been reduced below its carrying amount due to the occurrence of events or circumstances between annual impairment testing dates. We did not identify any reporting units that required an interim impairment test since the last annual impairment testing date.
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS.
Intangible assets decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of amortization, partially offset by additions related to the acquisition of MIM Software. Substantially all of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. Amortization expense was $81 million and $93 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $160 million and $189 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

LETTERS OF CREDIT, GUARANTEES, AND OTHER COMMITMENTS.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had bank guarantees and surety bonds of approximately $812 million and $751 million, respectively, related to certain commercial contracts. Additionally, we have issued approximately $28 million and $39 million of guarantees as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily related to residual value and credit guarantees on equipment sold to third-party finance companies. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position reflect a liability of $4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 related to these guarantees. For credit-related guarantees, we estimate our expected credit losses related to off-balance sheet credit exposure consistent with the method used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. See Note 13, "Commitments, Guarantees, Product Warranties, and Other Loss Contingencies" for further information on guarantee arrangements with GE.
NOTE 9. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
We sponsor a number of pension and retiree health and life insurance benefit plans that we present in three categories, Principal Pension Plans, Other Pension Plans, and Other Postretirement Plans ("OPEB Plans"). Please refer to Note 10, "Postretirement Benefit Plans" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 for further information. On January 1, 2024, we transitioned from legacy GE multiple-employer OPEB plans to GE HealthCare sponsored single-employer OPEB plans. This change did not have an impact on our results of operations or financial position. Pension plans with pension assets or obligations less than $50 million are not included in the results below.

In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made cash benefit payments totaling $59 million to its Principal Pension Plans, $40 million to its Other Pension Plans, and $71 million to its OPEB Plans. In 2024, the Company expects to make total cash contributions of approximately $336 million to these plans. The Company does not have a required minimum funding contribution for its U.S.-based GE HealthCare Pension Plan in 2024. Future contributions will depend on market conditions, interest rates, and other factors.
Defined Contribution Plan
GE HealthCare sponsors a defined contribution plan for its eligible U.S. employees. Expenses associated withour employees' participation in GE HealthCare's defined contribution plan were $40 million and $33 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $73 million and $66 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate was 24.7% and 24.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 24.5% and 26.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the cost of global activities, including the U.S. taxation on international operations, withholding taxes, and state taxes.
Post Spin-Off, the Company's previously undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are no longer indefinitely reinvested in non-U.S. businesses due to current U.S. funding needs. Therefore, in the first quarter of 2023, an incremental deferred tax liability of $30 million was recorded for withholding and other foreign taxes due upon future distribution of earnings. In addition, the Company is providing for withholding and other foreign taxes due upon future distribution of current period earnings.
The Company is currently being audited in a number of jurisdictions for tax years 2004-2022, including China, Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

NOTE 12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING.
Our primary objective in executing and holding derivative contracts is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with risks related to foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices. These derivative contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the aforementioned risks. Our policy is to use derivative contracts solely for managing risks and not for speculative purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of designated hedging instruments are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings and to the same financial statement line item impacted by the hedged transaction. As of June 30, 2024, we expect to reclassify $7 million of pre-tax net deferred gains associated with designated cash flow hedges to earnings in the next 12 months, contemporaneously with the impact on earnings of the related hedged transactions.
The cash flows associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in All other operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Net Investment Hedges
We use cross-currency interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts in combination with foreign currency option contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with our net investment in foreign operations. As of June 30, 2024, these contracts were designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign operations, primarily in Euro and Chinese Renminbi currencies.
The cash flows associated with derivatives designated as net investment hedges are recorded in All other investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from the periodic interest settlements on the cross-currency swaps are recorded in All other operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Fair Value Hedges
We use interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk on our fixed rate borrowings. These derivatives are designated as fair value hedges to hedge the changes in fair value due to benchmark interest rate risk of specific designated cash flows of our senior unsecured notes.
We record the changes in fair value on these swap contracts in Interest and other financial charges - net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, the same line item where the offsetting change in the fair value of the designated cash flows of the senior unsecured note is recorded as a basis adjustment.
Cash flows for the periodic interest settlements on the interest rate swaps are recorded in All other operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
19
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We also execute derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and equity-linked total return swaps, which are not designated as qualifying hedges. These derivatives serve as economic hedges of the foreign currency rate risk and equity price risk. We also identify and record foreign currency-related features in our purchase or sales contracts where the currency is not the local or functional currency of any substantive party to the contract and record them as embedded derivatives.
The changes in fair value of derivatives not designated in qualifying hedge transactions are recorded in Cost of products, Cost of services, Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A"), and Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the underlying hedged transaction. Changes in fair value of embedded derivatives are recognized in Other (income) expense - net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The cash flows associated with derivatives not designated but used as economic hedges are recorded, based on the nature of the underlying hedged transaction, in All other operating activities and All other investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The cash flows related to embedded derivatives are included in All other operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following table presents the gross fair values of our outstanding derivative instruments.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS.
The following table represents assets and liabilities that are recorded and measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Cash equivalents
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $2,015 million and $2,504 million, respectively, included money market funds of $215 million and $200 million, and other cash equivalents of $695 million and $1,023 million, respectively. The carrying values of the other cash equivalents approximate fair value due to their short maturities and are valued using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs.
Deferred compensation
The deferred compensation liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are comprised of market-based obligations indexed to the S&P 500 index fund and GE HealthCare stock in Level 1, and mutual funds in Level 2.
Derivatives
Derivatives are measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow method or option models using interest rates, foreign exchange spot and forward rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatilities, and credit spreads as key inputs. Unobservable inputs relate to our own credit risk which is not significant to the overall measurement of fair value.
Contingent consideration
The contingent consideration liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023were recorded in connection with business acquisitions. The contingent consideration is recorded at fair value based on estimates of future cash flows associated with the acquired businesses. To the extent that the valuation of these liabilities is based on inputs that are less observable or not observable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the fair value of contingent consideration is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
Changes in fair value measurements of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as equity method investments, equity investments without readily determinable fair value, financing receivables, and long-lived assets, were not material for the six months endedJune 30, 2024 and 2023.
Fair value of other financial instruments
The estimated fair value of borrowings as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $9,609 million and $9,959 million, respectively, compared to a carrying value (which includes a reduction for unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts and cumulative basis adjustment) of $9,240 million and $9,442 million, respectively. The fair value of our borrowings includes accrued interest and is determined based on observable and quoted prices and spreads of comparable debt and benchmark securities and is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 8, "Borrowings" for further information.
NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES, PRODUCT WARRANTIES, AND OTHER LOSS CONTINGENCIES
GUARANTEES.
The Company has off-balance sheet credit exposure through standby letters of credit, bank guarantees, bid bonds, and surety bonds. See Note 8, "Borrowings" for further information.
Following the Spin-Off, which was completed pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"), the Company had remaining performance guarantees on behalf of GE. Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement, GE was obligated to use reasonable best efforts to replace the Company as the guarantor or terminate all such performance guarantees. Until such termination or replacement, in the event of non-fulfillment of contractual obligations by the relevant obligors, the Company could have been obligated to make payments under the applicable instruments for which GE was obligated to reimburse and indemnify the Company. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's maximum aggregate exposure, subject to GE reimbursement, was approximately $114 million. In the second quarter of 2024, these remaining performance guarantees were all terminated or replaced.
PRODUCT WARRANTIES.
We provide warranty coverage to our customers as part of customary practices in the market to provide assurance that the products we sell comply with agreed-upon specifications. We provide estimated product warranty expenses when we sell the related products. Warranty accruals are estimates that are based on the best available information, mostly historical claims experience, therefore claims costs may differ from amounts provided. An analysis of changes in the liability for product warranties follows.

Product warranties are recognized within All other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
LEGAL MATTERS.
In the normal course of our business, we are involved from time to time in various arbitrations; class actions; commercial, intellectual property, and product liability litigation; government investigations; investigations by competition/antitrust authorities; and other legal, regulatory, or governmental actions, including the significant matters described below that could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows. In many proceedings, including the specific matters described below, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss, and accruals for legal matters are not recorded until a loss for a particular matter is considered probable and reasonably estimable. Given the nature of legal matters and the complexities involved, it is often difficult to predict and determine a meaningful estimate of loss or range of loss until we know, among other factors, the particular claims involved, the likelihood of success of our defenses to those claims, the damages or other relief sought, how discovery or other procedural considerations will affect the outcome, the settlement posture of other parties, and other factors that may have a material effect on the outcome. For such matters, unless otherwise specified, we do not believe it is possible to provide a meaningful estimate of loss at this time. Moreover, it is not uncommon for legal matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be continuously evaluated.
Contracts with Iraqi Ministry of Health
In 2017, a number of U.S. Service members, civilians, and their families brought a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the "District Court") against a number of pharmaceutical and medical device companies, including GE HealthCare and certain affiliates, alleging that the defendants violated the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act. The complaint seeks monetary relief and alleges that the defendants provided funding for an Iraqi terrorist organization through their sales practices pursuant to pharmaceutical and medical device contracts with the Iraqi Ministry of Health. In July 2020, the District Court granted defendants' motions to dismiss and dismissed all of the plaintiffs' claims. In January 2022, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reversed the District Court's decision. In February 2022, the defendants requested review of the decision by all of the judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the "D.C. Circuit"). In February 2023, the D.C. Circuit denied this request. In June 2023, defendants petitioned the Supreme Court to review the D.C. Circuit's decision. On June 24, 2024, the Supreme Court vacated the D.C. Circuit's decision and remanded the case to the D.C. Circuit for further consideration in light of Twitter, Inc. v. Taamneh, a separate case decided by the Supreme Court in May 2023. The proceedings in the District Court are currently inactive.
Government Disclosures
From time to time, we make self-disclosures regarding our compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") and similar laws to relevant authorities who may pursue or decline to pursue enforcement proceedings against us. We, with the assistance of outside counsel, made voluntary self-disclosures to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") beginning in 2018 regarding tender irregularities and other potential violations of the FCPA relating to our activities in certain provinces in China. We have been engaged in ongoing discussions with each of the SEC and the DOJ regarding these matters. We are fully cooperating with the reviews by these agencies and have implemented, and continue to implement, enhancements to our compliance policies and practices. At this time, we are unable to predict the duration, scope, result, or related costs associated with these disclosures to the SEC and the DOJ. We also are unable to predict what, if any, action may be taken by the SEC or the DOJ or what penalties or remedial actions they may seek. Any determination that our operations or activities are not in compliance with existing laws or regulations, including applicable foreign laws, could result in the imposition of fines, penalties, disgorgement, equitable relief, or other losses.
NOTE 14. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES - NET
Restructuring activities are essential to optimize the business operating model for GE HealthCare and mostly involve workforce reductions, organizational realignments, and revisions to our real estate footprint. Specifically, restructuring and other charges (gains) primarily include facility exit costs, employee-related termination benefits associated with workforce reductions, asset write-downs, and cease-use costs. For segment reporting, restructuring and other activities are not allocated.
Net expenses for restructuring initiatives committed to by management through June 30, 2024 are included in the table below.

These restructuring initiatives are expected to result in additional expenses of approximately $16 million, to be incurred primarily over the next 12 months, substantially related to employee-related termination benefits and asset write-downs. Restructuring expenses (gains) are recognized within Cost of products, Cost of services, or SG&A, as appropriate, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Liabilities related to restructuring are recognized within Current compensation and benefits, All other current liabilities, Non-current compensation and benefits, and All other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and totaled $76 million and $68 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
NOTE 15. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The numerator for both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") is Net income attributable to GE HealthCare common stockholders. The denominator of basic EPS is the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share units is reflected in the denominator for diluted EPS using the treasury stock method.

SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE PROGRAMS.
The Company participates in voluntary supply chain finance programs which provide participating suppliers the opportunity to sell their GE HealthCare receivables to third parties at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the third parties. We evaluate supply chain finance programs to ensure the use of a third-party intermediary to settle our trade payables does not change the nature, existence, amount, or timing of our trade payables and does not provide the Company with any direct economic benefit. If any characteristics of the trade payables change or we receive a direct economic benefit, we reclassify the trade payables as borrowings. In connection with the supply chain finance programs, payment terms normally range from 30 to 180 days, depending on the underlying supplier agreements.
Included within Accounts payablein the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of June 30, 2024and December 31, 2023 were $393 million and $365 million, respectively, of confirmed supplier invoices that are outstanding and subject to third-party programs.
REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS.
The Company has noncontrolling interests with redemption features. These redemption features, such as put options, could require the Company to purchase the noncontrolling interests upon the occurrence of certain events. All noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within our control are recognized within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position between liabilities and equity. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are initially recorded at the issuance date fair value. Those that are currently redeemable, or probable of becoming redeemable, are subsequently adjusted to the greater of current redemption value or initial carrying value.
The activity attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is presented below.

The remeasurement was accounted for as a deemed preferred stock dividend of redeemable noncontrolling interest and recorded as an adjustment to Retained earnings in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
(2) In the first quarter of 2023, the redeemable noncontrolling interest holder exercised its option redemption provision. The redemption amount of $211 million was paid in the second quarter of 2023.

NOTE 17. RELATED PARTIES AND TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT
Inconnection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into or adopted several agreements that provide a framework for the relationship between the Company and GE, including the Transition Services Agreement ("TSA"). These agreements were structured in anticipation of GE's transaction to separate the GE Vernova business as described in Note 1, "Organization and Basis of Presentation." Under these agreements, we incurred $45 million, net, and $84 million, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $98 million, net, and $192 million, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts represent fees charged from GE and GE Vernova to the Company primarily for information technology, human resources, and research and development and is net of fees charged from the Company to GE and GE Vernova for facilities and other shared services. For more information on these agreements, see Note 19, "Related Parties" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
Current amounts due from and to GE under the various agreements are recognized within Due from related parties or Due to related parties, as applicable, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Non-current amounts due from GE were $70 million and $81 million, and due to GE were $41 million and $33 million, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts were recognized within All other non-current assets and All other non-current liabilities, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and primarily relate to tax and other indemnities. Following its separation from GE, GE Vernova does not meet the definition of a related party; accordingly, amounts as of June 30, 2024 due to and from GE Vernova in accordance with the TSA are excluded from the Due from related parties and Due to related parties financial statement line items and non-current balances disclosed above.
NOTE 18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective July 1, 2024, the Image Guided Therapies subsegment, 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. Following this realignment, the Company continues to have four reportable segments. Beginning with the Form 10-Q filing for the period ending September 30, 2024, any historical segment financial information presented will be recast to conform to the new reportable segments structure.

For a full understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, the below discussion should be read alongside the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances; see "Forward-Looking Statements." Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and particularly in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
On January 3, 2023, the General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace, ("GE") completed the spin-off of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (the "Spin-Off"). For further information regarding the Spin-Off, refer to Note 1, "Organization and Basis of Presentation."
The following tables are presented in millions of United States ("U.S.") dollars unless otherwise stated, except for per-share amounts which are presented in U.S. dollars. Certain columns and rows throughout this document may not sum due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts.
As of June 30, 2024, GE HealthCare's operations were organized and managed through four reportable segments: Imaging, Ultrasound, Patient Care Solutions ("PCS"), and Pharmaceutical Diagnostics ("PDx") and we evaluated their operating performance using Segment revenues and Segment EBIT.
TRENDS AND FACTORS IMPACTING OUR PERFORMANCE
We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and particularly in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
KEY TRENDS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Russia and Ukraine Conflict
We had $126 million and $153 million of assets in, or directly related to, Russia and Ukraine as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, none of which are subject to sanctions that impact the carrying value of the assets. We generated revenues of $161 million and $155 million from customers in these two countries for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The potential inability to repatriate earnings from these two countries will not have a material impact on our ability to operate.
We continue to monitor the effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including the consideration of financial impact, cybersecurity risks, the applicability and effect of sanctions, and the employee base in Ukraine and Russia. In May 2023, the U.S. Department of Commerce implemented expanded measures that required us to obtain a license for the export, re-export, or transfer of specified medical equipment and spare parts to customers in Russia. As of April 29, 2024, this requirement has been modified to permit us to export, re-export, or transfer medical equipment and spare parts that meet stated criteria under a License Exception, which is expected to eliminate the need for us to obtain individual U.S. licenses in most cases. The European Union and other countries have also expanded licensing requirements for certain spare parts, services, software, and other items. We will continue to apply for licenses to supply to these customers and to support our business in Russia, as required. The implementation of these measures affected our ability to supply customers in Russia during the first two quarters of 2024 and the last three quarters of 2023 and will continue to do so as we confirm applicability of the new U.S. License Exception to our transactions and continue to obtain licenses. There is no guarantee we will obtain all of the licenses for which we applied, that any approvals we obtain will be on a timely basis, or that our business in Russia will not be further disrupted due to evolving legal or operational considerations. The Board, together with management, will continue to assess whether developments related to the conflict have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company.
China Market
We continue to monitor developments in the market in China. An anti-corruption campaign directed at the healthcare sector, launched last year, is still ongoing. In addition, in March 2024, the government in China announced a new stimulus program ("2024 stimulus") that includes the healthcare sector and will be implemented through China's provinces. Both of these factors have contributed to delayed orders and sales in our China business, including in the first half of 2024. We expect the 2024 stimulus program will result in opportunities for our business in China in the longer term, but it has had a short-term impact as provinces develop and announce their plans and customers wait to understand the details of the 2024 stimulus before making purchasing decisions. We expect the effects of the anti-corruption campaign and the delay in China 2024 stimulus to continue to impact our orders and sales in the near term, although we are unable to predict the exact duration or magnitude of the impact. We expect both of these impacts to be temporary, and we believe the focus of government policy in China on expanding access to healthcare will benefit our business in China in the long term.

Tax Valuation Allowances
Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions and credits by evaluating all available positive and negative evidence. We have a valuation allowance against certain U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets and will release the valuation allowance when there is sufficient positive evidence to support a conclusion that it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized. Depending on our operating results in the future, we may release the valuation allowance associated with our Brazil deferred tax assets within the year. The timing and amount of the valuation allowance release could vary based on our assessment of all available evidence. Release of all, or a portion, of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and may result in a decrease to income tax expense for the period in which the release is recorded.
SUMMARY OF KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Management reviews and analyzes several key performance measures including Total revenues, remaining performance obligations ("RPO"), Operating income, Net income attributable to GE HealthCare, Earnings per share, and Cash from (used for) operating activities. Management also reviews and analyzes Organic revenue*, Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes* ("Adjusted EBIT*"), Adjusted net income*, Adjusted tax expense*, Adjusted effective tax rate* ("Adjusted ETR*"), Adjusted earnings per share*, and Free cash flow*, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are reviewed and analyzed in order to evaluate our business performance, identify trends affecting our business, allocate capital, and make strategic decisions, including those discussed below. See "Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further discussion on our key performance measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures, a discussion of why we believe they are useful to management and investors as well as certain of their limitations, and reconciliations to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are provided below under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

For the three months endedJune 30, 2024
Operating income was $608 million, an increase of $38 million and 70 basis points as a percent of Total revenues. The increase was due to the following factors:
Gross profit increased $62 million or 110 basis points as a percent of Total revenues primarily due to a reduction in Cost of products sold. Cost of products sold decreased $39 million or 110 basis points as a percent of Sales of products. The decrease as a percent of sales was driven primarily by cost productivity, partially offset by cost inflation. Cost of services sold decreased $1 million or 90 basis points as a percent of Sales of services. The decrease as a percent of sales was driven by cost productivity and an increase in pricing of our service offerings, partially offset by cost inflation. Included in our total cost of revenue as part of our product investment was $102 million in engineering costs for design follow-through on new product introductions and product lifecycle maintenance subsequent to the initial product launch, compared to $110 million for the prior year comparable period; and
Total operating expenses increased $25 million due to an increase in Research and Development ("R&D") investments of $29 million, partially offset by a decrease in Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expense of $5 million primarily driven by cost saving initiatives, including information technology. As a result, R&D as a percentage of Total revenues increased by 60 basis points while SG&A as a percentage of Total revenues decreased by 20 basis points.
Net income attributable to GE HealthCare and Net income margin were $428 million and 8.9%, an increase of $10 million and 20 basis points, respectively, primarily due to the following factors:
Operating income increased $38 million, as discussed above;
Interest and other financial charges - net decreased $6 million primarily driven by lower overall borrowings due to the repayments made on the Term Loan Facility;
Non-operating benefit income decreased $22 million primarily related to lower amortization of net gains on our pension plans;
Other income (expense) - net decreased $13 million primarily related to derivatives gains occurring in the prior year; and
Provision for income taxes increased $6 million primarily due to incremental discrete adjustments in the current year. For additional detail regarding our income taxes, see Note 10, "Income Taxes."
Adjusted EBIT* and Adjusted EBIT margin* were $742 million and 15.3%, an increase of $31 million and 60 basis points, respectively, primarily due to an increase in Gross profit, partially offset by investment in R&D.
Adjusted net income* was $459 million, an increase of $40 million primarily due to the increase in Gross profit, partially offset by investment in R&D.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024
Operating income was $1,148 million, an increase of $19 million and 20 basis points as a percent of Total revenues. The increase was due to the following factors:
Gross profit increased $73 million or 90 basis points as a percent of Total revenues primarily due to a reduction in Cost of products sold. Cost of products sold decreased $109 million or 80 basis points as a percent of Sales of products. The decrease as a percent of sales was driven by cost productivity and an increase in pricing of our products, partially offset by cost inflation. Cost of services sold increased $2 million but decreased 80 basis points as a percent of Sales of services. The decrease as a percent of sales was driven by cost productivity and an increase in pricing of our service offerings, partially offset by cost inflation. Included in our total cost of revenue as part of our product investment was $203 million in engineering costs for design follow-through on new product introductions and product lifecycle maintenance subsequent to the initial product launch, compared to $220 million for the prior year comparable period; and
Total operating expenses increased $54 million due to an increase in R&D investments of $83 million, partially offset by a decrease in SG&A expense of $29 million primarily driven by cost saving initiatives, including information technology savings. As a result, R&D as a percentage of Total revenues increased by 90 basis points while SG&A as a percentage of Total revenues decreased by 20 basis points.

Net income attributable to GE HealthCare and Net income margin were $802 million and 8.5%, an increase of $12 million and 20 basis points, respectively, primarily due to the following factors:
Operating income increased $19 million, as discussed above;
Interest and other financial charges - net decreased $19 million primarily driven by lower overall borrowings due to the repayments made on the Term Loan Facility;
Non-operating benefit income decreased $34 million primarily related to lower amortization of net gains on our pension plans;
Other income (expense) - net decreased $30 million primarily related to lower net financing and investment income and non-repeat derivatives gains in the prior year; and
Provision for income taxes decreased $33 million primarily due to prior year results impacted by an incremental charge for the accrual of withholding and other foreign taxes due upon future distribution of earnings. For additional detail regarding our income taxes, see Note 10, "Income Taxes."
Adjusted EBIT* and Adjusted EBIT margin* were $1,423 million and 15.0%, an increase of $48 million and 60 basis points, respectively, primarily due to an increase in Gross profit, partially offset by investment in R&D.
Adjusted net income* was $872 million, an increase of $65 million primarily due to an increase in Gross profit and the decrease of Interest and other financial charges - net, partially offset by investment in R&D.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are supplemental measures of our performance and our liquidity that we believe will help investors understand our financial condition, cash flows, and operating results, and assess our future prospects. When read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our 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.
We report Organic revenue and Organic revenue growth rate to provide management and investors with additional understanding and visibility into the underlying revenue trends of our established, ongoing operations, as well as provide insights into overall demand for our products and services. To calculate these measures, we exclude the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency rate fluctuations.
We report EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted earnings per share to provide management and investors with additional understanding of our business by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors, on a normalized basis. To calculate these measures we exclude, and reflect 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. We may from time to time consider excluding other non-recurring items to enhance comparability between periods. Adjusted EBIT margin is calculated by taking Adjusted EBIT divided by Total revenues for the same period.
We report Adjusted tax expense and Adjusted ETR to provide investors with a better understanding of the normalized tax rate applicable to our 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. We 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.
We report Free cash flow to provide management and investors with an important measure of our ability to generate cash on a normalized basis and provide insight into our flexibility to allocate capital. Free cash flow is Cash from (used for) operating activities 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.
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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2024, our Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balance in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position was $2,015 million. We have historically generated positive cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, we have access to revolving credit facilities of $3,500 million in aggregate, described in detail in Note 8, "Borrowings."
We believe that our existing balance of Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, future cash generated from operating activities, access to capital markets, and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet the needs of our current and ongoing operations, pay taxes due, service our existing debt, and fund investments in our business for at least the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

Material Cash Requirements
In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts and commitments that obligate us to make payments in the future. Information regarding our obligations under lease, debt, and other commitments are provided in Note 7, "Leases," Note 9, "Borrowings," and Note 14, "Commitments, Guarantees, Product Warranties, and Other Loss Contingencies" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. We have material cash requirements related to our pension obligations as described in Note 9, "Postretirement Benefit Plans." Additionally, on April 1, 2024, we funded the acquisition of MIM Software with cash on hand. Further information regarding this acquisition is provided in Note 7, "Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets."
Debt and Credit Facilities
As part of our capital structure, we have incurred debt. The servicing of this debt is supported by cash flows from our operations. As of June 30, 2024, we had $9,240 million of total debt compared to $9,442 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in debt was mainly driven by a repayment of $150 millionof the outstanding Term Loan Facility in the first quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there were $1,000 million of senior notes due in November 2024 recognized within Short-term borrowings in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
The weighted average interest rate for the Notes and our Credit Facilities for the six months endedJune 30, 2024 was 6.08%. We had no principal debt repayments on the Notes for the six months endedJune 30, 2024.
In addition to the Term Loan Facility, our credit facilities include a five-year senior unsecured revolving facility that provides borrowings of up to $2,500 million expiring in January 2028, and a 364-day senior unsecured revolving facility that provides borrowings of up to $1,000 million expiring in December 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there were no outstanding borrowings on either of the two revolving facilities.
The Credit Facilities include various customary covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens securing debt, the entry into certain fundamental change transactions by GE HealthCare, and the maximum permitted leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with the covenant requirements, including the maximum consolidated net leverage ratio.
For additional details on debt and credit facilities, see Note 8, "Borrowings."
Access to Capital and Credit Ratings
In connection with the Spin-Off, we accessed the capital markets and raised $10,250 million of debt by issuing $8,250 millionof senior unsecured notes in November 2022, and completed a drawdown of the Term Loan Facility of $2,000 millionin January 2023. In addition, we arranged $3,500 million of revolving credit facilities to further support our liquidity needs. We plan to continue to rely on capital markets, and we expect to have access to credit facilities to fund our operations. The cost and availability of debt financing will be influenced by our credit ratings and market conditions. Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's"), Standard and Poor's Global Ratings ("S&P"), and Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") currently issue ratings on our long-term debt. Our credit ratings as of July 24, 2024 are set forth in the table below.

We are disclosing our credit ratings to enhance the understanding of our sources of liquidity and the effects of our ratings on our costs of funds and access to liquidity. 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.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices, which may impact future income, cash flows, and fair value of our business. There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risk from those disclosed in Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024, and that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company continued to exit from various transition service agreements with GE, primarily related to IT systems that impact financial reporting. Consequently, responsibility for execution of related internal controls transferred to the Company, including general IT controls in connection with IT environment changes. Other than those discussed in the preceding sentences, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS.
All internal control systems have inherent limitations; as such, they may not prevent or detect all misstatements or all fraud. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statements preparation and reporting. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the current control structure may become inadequate for changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies may deteriorate.
