Reaffirming full year 2024 guidance

CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 30, 2024-- GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC), a leading global precision care innovator, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

GE HealthCare President and CEO Peter Arduini said, “We made good progress against 2024 priorities in the first quarter. We delivered margin expansion, while continuing to invest in innovation to solve the evolving needs of customers and patients. This is reflected in our healthy backlog, orders growth, and positive book-to-bill. We also closed the acquisition of MIM Software earlier this month as we accelerate our precision care strategy. We expect to see business growth weighted toward the second half of 2024 consistent with our previous comments, and we remain on track to deliver our guidance for the year.”

First Quarter 2024 Total Company Financial Performance

Revenues of $4.6 billion declined 1% reported and were approximately flat on an Organic* basis year-over-year, with decreased volume partially offset by positive price.
Total company book-to-bill was solid at 1.03 times, defined as Total orders divided by Total revenues. Total company orders increased 1% organically year-over-year.
Net income attributable to GE HealthCare was $374 million versus $372 million for the prior year, and Adjusted EBIT* was $681 million versus $664 million.
Net income margin was 8.0% versus 7.9% for the prior year, up 10 basis points (bps). Adjusted EBIT margin* was 14.7% versus 14.1%, up 50 bps as both measures saw benefits from productivity and price.
Diluted EPS was $0.81 versus $0.41, up $0.40 from the prior year due to a noncontrolling interest redemption of preferred stock in the prior year. Adjusted EPS* was $0.90 versus $0.85, up $0.05 from the prior year driven by improved margins and lower interest expense.
Cash flow from operating activities was $419 million, down $49 million year-over-year. Free cash flow* was $274 million, down $51 million year-over-year. The Company repaid $150 million of debt in January 2024, as previously disclosed.

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. The Company believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, are important supplemental measures that exclude non-cash or other items that may not be indicative of or related to its core operating results and the overall health of the Company. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors greater transparency to the information used by management for its operational decision-making and allow investors to see results “through the eyes of management.” The Company further believes that providing this information assists investors in understanding its operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. When read in conjunction with the Company’s U.S. GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in the Company’s underlying businesses and can be used by management as one basis for making financial, operational, and planning decisions. Finally, these measures are often used by analysts and other interested parties to evaluate companies in the Company’s industry.

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, thereby affecting their comparability from company to company. In order to compensate for these and the other 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. Readers should review the reconciliations and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business.

The Company defines these non-GAAP financial measures as:

Organic revenue: Total revenues excluding the effects of: (1) net sales from recent acquisitions and dispositions with less than a full year of comparable net sales; and (2) foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in order to present revenue on a constant currency basis.
Organic revenue growth rate: Rate of change when comparing Organic revenue, period over period.
EBIT: Net income attributable to GE HealthCare excluding the effects of: (1) Interest and other financial charges – net; (2) Non-operating benefit (income) costs; (3) Provision (benefit) for income taxes; (4) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes; (5) Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Adjusted EBIT: Net income attributable to GE HealthCare excluding the effects of: (1) Interest and other financial charges – net; (2) Non-operating benefit (income) costs; (3) Provision (benefit) for income taxes; (4) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes; (5) Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests; (6) restructuring costs; (7) acquisition and disposition-related charges (benefits); (8) Spin-Off and separation costs; (9) (gain) loss on business and asset dispositions; (10) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; and (11) investment revaluation (gain) loss. In addition, the Company may from time to time consider excluding other nonrecurring items to enhance comparability between periods.
Adjusted EBIT margin: Adjusted EBIT divided by Total revenues for the same period.

The Company believes that Organic revenue and Organic revenue growth rate, by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency rate fluctuations, provide management and investors with additional understanding of the Company’s core, top-line operating results and greater visibility into underlying revenue trends of its established, ongoing operations. Organic revenue and Organic revenue growth rate also provide greater insight regarding the overall demand for its products and services.

The Company believes EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, and Adjusted EBIT margin provide management and investors with additional understanding of its business by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors. These metrics exclude interest expense, interest income, non-operating benefit (income) costs, and tax expense, as well as non-recurring and/or non-cash items, which may have a material impact on the Company’s results. The Company believes this provides additional insight into how its businesses are performing, on a normalized basis. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as inferring that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measure adjusts.

Adjusted net income: Net income attributable to GE HealthCare excluding (1) Non-operating benefit (income) costs; (2) restructuring costs; (3) acquisition and disposition-related charges (benefits); (4) Spin-Off and separation costs; (5) (gain) loss on business and asset dispositions; (6) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (7) investment revaluation (gain) loss; (8) tax effect of reconciling items (items 1-7); (9) certain tax adjustments as described in Adjusted tax expense definition below and (10) Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes. In addition, the Company may from time to time consider excluding other nonrecurring items to enhance comparability between periods.
Adjusted EPS: Diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of: (1) deemed preferred stock dividend of redeemable noncontrolling interest, (2) Non-operating benefit (income) costs; (3) restructuring costs; (4) acquisition and disposition-related charges (benefits); (5) Spin-Off and separation costs; (6) (gain) loss on business and asset dispositions; (7) amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets; (8) investment revaluation (gain) loss; (9) tax effect of reconciling items (items 1-8); and (10) certain tax adjustments as described in Adjusted tax expense definition below. In addition, the Company may from time to time consider excluding other nonrecurring items to enhance comparability between periods.

The Company believes Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS provide investors with improved comparability of underlying operating results and a further understanding and additional transparency regarding how it evaluates the business. These non-GAAP financial measures also provide management and investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of certain significant items on the Company’s earnings. However, they should not be construed as inferring that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measure adjusts.

Adjusted tax expense and Adjusted ETR: Adjusted tax expense is Income tax expense less the income tax related to pre-tax income adjustments above and certain income tax adjustments. Examples of certain income tax adjustments include the accrual of a deferred tax liability on the prior period earnings of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for which the Company is no longer permanently reinvested. Adjusted ETR is Adjusted tax expense divided by Income before income taxes less pre-tax income adjustments above.

The Company believes that Adjusted tax expense and Adjusted ETR provide investors with a better understanding of the normalized tax rate applicable to the Company’s business and provide more consistent comparability across periods.

Free cash flow: Cash from (used for) operating activities adjusting for the effects of (1) additions to property, plant and equipment (PP&E) and internal-use software; and (2) dispositions of PP&E.
Free cash flow conversion: Free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income.

The Company believes that Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion provide management and investors with important measures of the Company’s ability to generate cash on a normalized basis. These metrics also provide insight into the Company’s flexibility to allocate capital, including reinvesting in the Company for future growth, paying down debt, paying dividends, and pursuing other opportunities that may enhance stockholder value. However, they should not be construed as inferring that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measure adjusts.

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

Management uses the following metrics to provide a leading indicator of current business demand from customers for products and services.

Organic orders growth: Rate of change period-over-period of contractual commitments with customers to provide specified goods or services for an agreed upon price, and excluding the effects of: (1) recent acquisitions and dispositions with less than a full year of comparable orders; and (2) foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in order to present orders on a constant currency basis.
Book-to-bill: Total orders divided by Total revenues within a given financial period (e.g., quarter or FY).

Conference Call and Webcast Information

GE HealthCare will discuss its results during its investor conference call today, April 30, 2024 at 8:30am ET.
