These increases were partially offset by an increase in separation costs of $0.3 billion.
FCF* increased primarily due to the same reasons as noted for CFOA above, after adjusting for an increase in separation cash expenditures, which are excluded from FCF*, partially offset by an increase in cash used for additions to property, plant and equipment and internal-use software.
Services RPO includes the estimated life of contract sales related to long-term service agreements which remain unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period, the estimated amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for time and material agreements, material services agreements, spare parts under purchase order, multi-year maintenance programs and other services agreements, excluding any order that provides the customer with the ability to cancel or terminate without incurring a substantive penalty.

As of December 31, 2023, RPO increased $28.8 billion (12%) from December 31, 2022, primarily at Aerospace, from increases in both equipment and services; at Renewable Energy, from new orders at Grid and Onshore Wind; and at Power, driven by increases in Gas Power services and equipment and Power Conversion equipment.

| Insurance revenues | | | | | | | | | | | | 3,389 | | | 2,957 | | | 3,101 | | |
Equipment revenues increased, primarily at Renewable Energy, due to higher equipment revenue at Offshore Wind associated with the Haliade-X ramp up, as well as at Grid; at Aerospace, due to an increase in commercial install and spare engine unit shipments; and at Power, due to increases at Gas Power and Power Conversion.

These increases were partially offset by an increase in provision for income taxes of $1.1 billion and an increase in separation costs of $0.3 billion.
Also, because we operate in many countries around the world, we are subject to complex global geopolitical forces.
Due to an expansion of U.S. sanctions related to the ongoing Russia and Ukraine conflict, we recorded a charge of $0.2 billion in the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily related to our Power segment, and as a result our remaining net asset exposure to Russia is not material.

Competition & Regulation.
Significant Trends & Developments.
Our results in 2023 reflect robust demand for commercial air travel and continued strength in services, which represents over 70% of Aerospace’s revenue this year.
The air traffic growth trends vary by region given economic conditions, airline competition and government regulations.
Consistent with industry projections, we estimate departures growth to decelerate to mid-single digits in 2024.

The U.S. Department of Defense and foreign governments have continued flight operations and have allocated budgets to upgrade and modernize their existing fleets, including support for next generation large-combat engine architecture such as Aerospace’s XA100 program.

In July 2022, we announced the new brand names for our three planned future companies: GE Aerospace, GE HealthCare and GE Vernova.
In the spin-off, GE made a pro-rata distribution of approximately 80.1% of the shares of GE HealthCare’s common stock to GE shareholders, retaining approximately 19.9% of GE HealthCare common stock.
This spin-off marked the culmination of our first business separation in accordance with the November 2021 strategic plan, and we are working toward the planned spin-off of GE Vernova.
And GE HealthCare, as an independent company since January 2023, will carry forward its mission of advancing precision care to help solve the healthcare industry’s challenges in harnessing data more effectively to provide better outcomes for patients, improving productivity and extending care out of the hospital to alternative care sites.
In the remainder of this report, we discuss GE on a consolidated basis and its businesses as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 2022 unless otherwise indicated.
The HealthCare business was a segment included in GE’s consolidated results for all of 2022, and accordingly we include GE HealthCare’s results and other details for 2022 in this report.
For the GE Vernova businesses, we continue to refer to our reporting segments of Renewable Energy and Power, reflecting the organization and management of these businesses within GE today.

Going forward, our goal remains 100% pay equity in each of our businesses.
These groups also support our goals to build a diverse talent pipeline through efforts such as partnering with organizations to raise money for scholarship funds and promoting professional development opportunities.
Our Aerospace, Renewable Energy, Power, and HealthCare segments employed approximately 45,000, 36,000, 32,000, and 49,000 people, respectively.
In addition, Corporate employed approximately 10,000 employees, including legacy GE Capital employees.
In connection with the January 3, 2023 spin-off of GE HealthCare, approximately 49,000 of our full-time employees formerly associated with our HealthCare segment became employees of GE HealthCare.
Following the spin-off of GE HealthCare, GE has approximately 4,670 union-represented manufacturing and service employees in the United States.
GE will hold negotiations to enter into new agreements on or before their termination dates.
While the outcome of the 2023 negotiations cannot be predicted, GE’s recent past negotiations have resulted in agreements that provide employees with good wages and benefits while addressing the competitive realities facing GE.

As of December 31, 2022, RPO increased $11.2 billion (5%) from December 31, 2021, primarily at Aerospace, from engines contracted under long-term service agreements that have now been put into service and an increase in Commercial and Military orders; at Renewable Energy, from new orders at Grid and Hydro exceeding sales; and at Power, driven by Gas Power services and equipment; partially offset by a decrease at HealthCare, from the impact of contract renewal timing in services.
