CINCINNATI - October 21, 2025 - GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) announced results today for the third quarter ending September 30, 2025.

GE Aerospace Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., said, "GE Aerospace delivered an exceptional quarter with revenue up 26%, EPS up 44%, and more than 130% free cash flow conversion. Given the strength of our year-to-date results and our expectations for the fourth quarter, we're raising our full-year guidance across the board."

Culp continued, "FLIGHT DECK, our proprietary lean operating model, is guided by a customer-driven approach to continuous improvement, where daily progress compounds to drive meaningful results. We are seeing that materialize this quarter with strong services and engine output for our customers. Our continued investments in LEAP durability and the future of flight will help us build on this momentum and position us for growth."

Recent highlights include:

Financial Guidance:

Based on GE Aerospace's year-to-date performance and trajectory entering the fourth quarter, the company is updating its full-year 2025 guidance and now expects:

Results & Guidance by Reporting Segment

The following discussions and variance explanations are intended to reflect management's view of the relevant comparisons of financial results.

For the quarter, orders of $10.3 billion increased 5%, with services increasing 32% partially offset by timing of equipment orders. Revenue of $8.9 billion was up 27%. Services grew 28% with internal shop visit revenue up 33% and spare parts revenue up more than 25%. Equipment revenue grew 22%, with unit volume up 33% and favorable price offsetting product mix and lower spare engine ratio. Profit of $2.4 billion was up 35%, driven by services volume, mix, and price, which more than offset higher investments and OE growth, including GE9X. Margins expanded 170 basis points.

In 2025, CES now expects revenue growth of low twenties, up from our prior guide of high-teens, driven by higher services revenue, which is now expected to grow low- to mid-twenties, up from high-teens. CES continues to expect equipment revenue to grow high-teens to 20%. Operating profit is expected to be $8.45 billion to $8.65 billion, up from our prior guide of $8.0 billion to $8.2 billion from incremental services revenue and favorable services mix.

For the quarter, orders of $2.9 billion were down 5% due to timing across quarters. Revenue of $2.8 billion grew 26%. Defense & Systems revenue grew 24% driven by higher engines volume and improved pricing. Propulsion & Additive Technologies revenue grew 29% with all businesses growing over 20%. Profit of $386 million was up 75% as higher volume, customer mix, and price offset investments and inflation. Margins expanded 380 basis points.

In, 2025, DPT now expects revenue growth of high-single-digits, up from mid-to-high-single digits from improved engine output. DPT expects operating profit to be in the $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion range, up from our prior guide of $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion from improved revenue outlook.

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) revenue, specifically Adjusted revenue, (2) profit, specifically Operating profit and Operating profit margin; Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS), (3) cash flows, specifically free cash flow (FCF), and (4) guidance, specifically 2025 Operating profit, 2025 Adjusted EPS and 2025 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.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, we changed the terminology used to report our GAAP earnings from "Earnings" to "Net income" and our non-GAAP earnings from "Adjusted earnings" to "Adjusted net income." The change in terminology does not impact the amounts reported in the financial statements.

We believe that adjusting revenue provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of revenue from our run-off insurance operations. 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 Adjusted revenue* and Operating profit* as performance metrics at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2025.

(a) Includes tax benefits available to offset the tax on gains (losses) on equity securities.

(b) Includes related tax valuation allowances. Tax effect on Insurance net income includes valuation allowances for 2025.

Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total.

We believe that Adjusted net income* provides management and investors with useful measures to evaluate the performance of the total company and increased period-to-period comparability, as well as a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding items that are not closely related with ongoing operations. We also use Adjusted EPS* as a performance metric at the company level for our performance stock units granted in 2025.

We believe investors may find it useful to compare free cash flow* 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). In addition, beginning in the third quarter of 2025, we now include dispositions of property, plant and equipment. We believe this measure will better allow management and investors to evaluate the capacity of our operations to generate free cash flow*. We also use FCF* as a performance metric at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan and performance stock units granted in 2025.

2025 GUIDANCE: 2025 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 2025 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing of any gains or losses related to acquisitions & dispositions 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.

2025 GUIDANCE: 2025 ADJUSTED EPS (NON-GAAP)

We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measure for Adjusted EPS* in 2025 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing of any gains or losses related to acquisitions & dispositions 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.

2025 GUIDANCE: 2025 FCF (NON-GAAP)

We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measure for free cash flow* in 2025 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing for separation and restructuring related cash expenditures.
