GEエアロスペースの会長兼CEOであるH. Lawrence Culp, Jr.は、「GEエアロスペースチームは強い結果を出しました。需要により注文が28%増加しました。収益は25%増加し、主にサービスによるものでした。強力な業績と第4四半期の見通しを考慮して、今年の収益と現金のガイダンスを引き上げています。」
•セキュリティが確保されたナローボディが勝者として選ばれました Avolon 75機のA320機を動かすために150基のLEAP-1Aエンジンを発注し、 EVA Air 4機の787を動かすためのGEnxエンジンを発注して、 Qatar Airways 20機の777を動かすためのGE9Xエンジンを40基発注しました。
Orders of $9.8 billion increased 29%, with both services and equipment up more than 20%. Revenue of $7.0 billion was up 8% with services growing 10% from higher spare parts sales, increasing shop visit workscopes and improved pricing. Equipment revenue was up 5%, with customer mix and price more than offsetting lower units. Profit of $1.8 billion was up 16%, with margins expanding 180 basis points, from higher services volume and price, which offset inflation and investments.

Orders of $3.0 billion were up 19%, primarily from strong demand in Defense & Systems. Revenue of $2.2 billion grew 2%, driven by Propulsion & Additive Technologies, which was up 9% primarily driven by Avio Aero. This was partially offset by Defense & Systems revenue, which was down (2)% due to lower engine units and unfavorable engine mix, which more than offset price. Profit of $220 million, was down (18)% year-over-year, with margins down (240) basis points, driven by inflation, engine mix, and investments, which more than offset price improvement.

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 Operating 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 the fourth quarter of 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.
