ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 “Distribution Date”), the General Electric Company (“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. As of March 31, 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 $2,834 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” for more information on these agreements and related transactions.

The condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 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 consolidated balance sheet 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.

The condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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.
