GENERAL ELECTRIC CO (GE)

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A). The consolidated financial statements of GE Aerospace are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Unless otherwise noted, tables are presented in U.S. dollars in millions. Certain columns and rows within tables may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented in this report are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions. Discussions throughout this MD&A are based on continuing operations unless otherwise noted. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial data but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for the reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW AND ENVIRONMENT. As a global aerospace company, our worldwide operations can be affected by industrial, economic, and political factors on both a regional and global level. Demand for our equipment and services is demonstrated by our backlog of engine orders and services and growth in our installed base, and tends to follow commercial air travel and freight demand and government funding for defense budgets. We expect a significant ramp in our delivery of engine units and services for newer product platforms in the years ahead to meet this demand. Refer to the Segment Operations sections for Commercial Engines & Services (CES) and Defense & Propulsion Technologies (DPT) below for additional detail about these dynamics for our commercial and defense businesses, respectively.

Global material availability continues to cause disruptions and have impacted our production and delivery of equipment and services to our customers. We are investing in our manufacturing facilities, overhaul facilities and our supply chain to increase production and strengthen yield in order to improve delivery to our customers. We are leveraging FLIGHT DECK and partnering with suppliers to improve material input while also proactively managing the impact of inflationary pressure by driving cost productivity and adjusting the pricing of our products and services. We expect the impact of supply chain constraints and inflation will continue, and we are continuing to take action to mitigate the impacts. However, through FLIGHT DECK and the engagement with our suppliers, aftermarket output and engine deliveries have continued to improve quarter over quarter.

We support efforts to revitalize domestic manufacturing and are planning to invest $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing and hire 5,000 U.S workers in 2026, including both engineering and manufacturing roles. At the same time, we support promoting free and fair trade that ensures the continued strength of the U.S aerospace industry.

As we operate in a highly dynamic tariff environment, we are focused on continuing to deliver our products and services to our customers. Given our global business, tariffs result in additional cost for us and our suppliers. In 2025, the U.S. established a zero-for-zero tariff agreement on aerospace equipment with the EU, UK, Japan and Korea, establishing a mutual elimination of tariffs. In 2026, the Supreme Court ruled against tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In the second quarter, GE Aerospace submitted refund requests and received a portion of previously paid IEEPA tariffs. We will continue to monitor recent developments on tariff policy and evaluate any changes to the applicability of tariffs to our business as they occur.

We are monitoring recent developments related to the conflict in the Middle East and the potential impact on the commercial aerospace industry, including lower utilization and increased prices, which can result in adverse effects on our airline customers. As a result, the impacts to our business may include lower volume related to shop visits, spare parts and spare engines and lower profitability of our long term contracts, as well as customer credit implications. We remain confident in our ability to navigate this with our young and diverse fleet, and we are also proactively taking action on costs. The conflict did not result in a material impact on our operations in the six months ended June 30, 2026.

On January 15, 2026, we announced that our CES segment will expand to include the entire commercial engine lifecycle, including safety and quality, product management, engineering, supply chain, manufacturing and aftermarket services. In addition, our Aeroderivative business, previously reported in CES, has moved to our DPT segment. See Note 23 for further information.

SEGMENT OPERATIONS

COMMERCIAL ENGINES & SERVICES. We are in frequent communication with our airline, airframe and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) customers about the outlook for commercial air travel, new aircraft production, fleet retirements and after-market services, including shop visit and spare parts demand. In the first six months of 2026, there was a strong demand for engines and services, while commercial air travel departures were roughly flat.

Demand continues to be strong and, in the first half of 2026, we announced significant new deals with several major customers. United Airlines and Delta Airlines selected our GENx engines to power their widebody Boeing 787 Dreamliner orders. American Airlines and Copa Airlines selected LEAP engines for their narrowbody orders. Ryanair signed a long-term material services agreement to support Ryanair's entire fleet of about 2,000 CFM56 and LEAP engines powering its Boeing 737 aircraft.

To meet the strong demand, we are investing in our manufacturing and overhaul facilities and continue to strengthen our external global MRO network to support LEAP aftermarket demand by adding Iberia as the seventh Premier MRO and expanding Delta TechOps capabilities for both LEAP 1-A and LEAP 1-B engines. We are also deploying engineering and supply chain resources to increase production, expand capacity and strengthen yield.

These investments combined with improved material availability contributed to internal shop visit revenue growth of 30% in the first half of 2026, and total engine deliveries and LEAP engine deliveries increases of 37% and 41%, respectively.

Total engineering investments, both company and partner-funded, increased compared to prior year, and we continue to improve our products and advance our future of flight priorities. We recently completed the certification for the LEAP 1-B durability kit, including the upgraded HPT blade, which is expected to deliver approximately double time-on-wing for that engine. And for future of flight - In the first half of 2026, together with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Airbus, we established the world’s first airport test bed for RISE technologies, focused on Open Fan. In addition, through the NASA Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration, we recently completed ground tests for the megawatt-class hybrid elec
