GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC), a leading global precision care innovator, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

GE HealthCare President and CEO Peter Arduini said, “We saw strong revenue growth across all of our business segments and regions as supply chain challenges eased. We continue to expect 5% to 7% Organic revenue growth* for 2023 given increased fulfillment and commercial execution. Price and productivity had a positive impact on our margin performance, positioning us well as we continue to invest in innovation and growth.”

First Quarter 2023 Total Financial Performance

Revenues of $4.7 billion increased 8% reported and 12% on an Organic basis* year-over-year. Foreign exchange negatively impacted growth by 4%. Total company book-to-bill, defined as Total orders divided by Total revenues, was 1.01 times for the quarter, given strong revenue growth across all segments, led by Pharmaceutical Diagnostics (PDx) recurring sales.
Net income attributable to GE HealthCare was $372 million versus $389 million for the prior year, and Adjusted EBIT* was $664 million versus $599 million.
Net income margin was 7.9% versus 9.0% for the prior year, down 110 basis points (bps) primarily impacted by interest expense. Adjusted EBIT margin* was 14.1% versus 13.8%, up 30 bps driven by volume, partially offset by mix. Inflation and planned investments were mostly offset by price and productivity actions. Adjusted EBIT margin* for the first quarter of 2023 grew 150 bps versus our estimated 1Q’22 Standalone Adjusted EBIT margin*.
Earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations were $0.41 versus $0.86, down $0.45 from the prior year due to a noncontrolling interest redemption of preferred stock. Adjusted EPS* was $0.85 versus $0.96, down $0.11 from the prior year due to incremental interest expense. Adjusted EPS* for the first quarter of 2023 grew $0.22 versus our estimated 1Q’22 Standalone Adjusted EPS*.
Cash flow from operating activities was $468 million, flat year-over-year with working capital improvement, offset by incremental post-retirement benefit payments and interest. These items, coupled with increased capital expenditures, also impacted Free cash flow* of $325 million, which was down $46 million year-over-year.

Revenues of $2.5 billion increased 8% reported and 12% on an Organic basis* year-over-year.

Growth and Innovation

2023 Guidance

Today, the Company reaffirmed its guidance for full year 2023:

Organic revenue growth* in the range of 5% to 7% year-over-year.
Adjusted EBIT margin* in the range of 15.0% to 15.5%, reflecting an expansion of 50 to 100 basis points versus 2022 Standalone Adjusted EBIT margin* of 14.5%.
Adjusted effective tax rate (ETR)* in the range of 23% to 25%.
Adjusted EPS* in the range of $3.60 to $3.75, representing 7% to 11% growth. This compares to 2022 Standalone Adjusted EPS* of $3.38.

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. 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 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 divestitures 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.
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, disposition related charges (benefits); (8) Spin-Off and separation costs; (9) (gain)/loss of business dispositions/divestments; (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.
Standalone Adjusted EBIT: Adjusted EBIT including the effects of recurring and on-going costs to operate new functions required for a standalone company that management believes provide a better depiction of the operations of GE HealthCare as a standalone company.
Standalone Adjusted EBIT margin: Standalone Adjusted EBIT divided by Total revenues for the same period.

The Company believes Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Standalone Adjusted EBIT, and Standalone 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, and tax expense, as well as unique and/or non-cash items, that can 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, disposition related charges (benefits); (4) Spin-Off and separation costs; (5) (gain)/loss of business dispositions/divestments; (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 disclosing other nonrecurring items to enhance comparability between periods.
Adjusted EPS: Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations 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, disposition related charges (benefits); (5) Spin-Off and separation costs; (6) (gain)/loss of business dispositions/divestments; (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.
Standalone Adjusted EPS: Adjusted EPS including the per share impact of the effects of recurring and on-going costs to operate new functions required for a standalone company and interest expense associated with third party debt that management believes provide a better depiction of the operations of GE HealthCare as a standalone company.

The Company believes Adjusted net income, Adjusted EPS, and Standalone 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 condensed consolidated and combined 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 effective tax rate (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 our foreign subsidiaries for which we are no longer permanently reinvested. Adjusted ETR is Adjusted tax expense divided by Income before income taxes less pre-tax income adjustments above. Adjusted tax expense and Adjusted ETR can be used by investors to review the income tax expense and effective tax rate for the Company’s operations on a consistent basis.
Free cash flow: Cash from (used for) operating activities - continuing operations adjusting for the effects of (1) additions to PP&E and internal-use software; (2) dispositions of PP&E; and (3) impact of factoring programs.
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. The Company believes investors may find it useful to compare Free cash flow performance without the effects of the factoring program discontinuation. 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.

(a)	Consists of severance, facility closures, and other charges associated with restructuring programs.
(b)	Consists of legal, consulting, and other transaction and integration fees, and adjustments to contingent consideration, as well as other purchase accounting related charges and other costs directly related to the transactions.
(c)	Costs incurred in the Spin-Off and separation from GE, including system implementations, audit and advisory fees, legal entity separation, Founders Grant equity awards, and other one-time costs.
(d)	Consists of gains and losses resulting from the sale of assets and investments.
(e)	Primarily relates to valuation adjustments for equity investments.
(f)	Consists of certain income tax adjustments, including the accrual of a deferred tax liability on the prior period earnings of certain of our foreign subsidiaries for which we are no longer permanently reinvested.
(g)	Estimated 1Q’22 expense of recurring and ongoing costs required to operate new functions required for a public company such as external reporting, internal audit, treasury, investor relations, board of directors and officers, stock administration, and expanding the services of existing functions such as information technology, finance, supply chain, human resources, legal, tax, facilities, branding, security, government relations, community outreach, and insurance.
(h)	Estimated 1Q’22 additional interest expense related to the GE HealthCare debt issuances on November 22nd, 2022 and the draw down of the term loan on January 3rd, 2023, the amortization of original issue discount and deferred, debt issuance costs, and certain Euro to U.S. Dollar cross currency interest rate swap arrangements with a notional amount of $2.0 billion. Interest expense was calculated assuming constant debt levels throughout the periods.
(i)	Estimated 1Q'22 tax effect was determined by applying the respective statutory tax rates to the pre-tax adjustments, as appropriate, in jurisdictions where valuation allowances were not required. The applicable tax rates could be impacted (either higher or lower) depending on many factors including, but not limited to, the profitability in local jurisdictions and may be different from the estimate.
(j)	Adjusted earnings per share* and estimated Standalone Adjusted earnings per share* amounts are computed independently, thus, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total.

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 conversion 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.
