Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, which may impact future income, cash flows, and fair value of our business. In certain situations, we may seek to reduce cash flow volatility associated with changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates by entering into financial arrangements intended to provide a hedge against a portion of the risks associated with such volatility. We continue to have exposure to such risks to the extent they are not hedged. We enter into derivative financial arrangements to the extent they meet the objective described above, and we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purpose.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK.

As a result of our global operations, we generate and incur a significant portion of our revenues and expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Such principal currencies include the Euro, the Chinese Yuan, the Japanese Yen, the Norwegian Krone, and the British Pound Sterling, among others. The results of operating entities reported in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated to the U.S. dollar at the applicable exchange rate for inclusion in our combined financial statements.

We use a number of techniques to manage the effects of currency exchange, including hedging of significant currency exposures. We use cash flow hedging primarily to reduce or eliminate the effects of foreign currency rate changes on purchase and sale contracts and economic hedges (which are not designated as hedges from an accounting standpoint) when we have exposures to currency exchange risk for which we are unable to meet the requirements for hedge accounting. In economic hedges, the hedging derivative impact is fully recognized in earnings in current periods. In cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the hedging derivative is offset in separate components of equity and ineffectiveness is recognized in earnings. As a result of the above mitigating activities, we have been able to significantly reduce financial impact volatility from currency fluctuations.

The foreign currency effect arising from operating activities outside of the U.S., including the remeasurement of derivatives, can result in significant transactional foreign currency fluctuations at points in time, but generally will be offset as the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The global nature of our customer base and manufacturing footprint allows for the natural offset of certain income and costs denominated in foreign currencies. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for net gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

We use cross-currency swap derivative contracts to hedge translation exposure of net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates against the U.S dollar.

See Note 13, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” to the combined financial statements for further information about our risk exposures, our use of derivatives, and the effects of this activity on our combined financial statements.

INTEREST RATE RISK.

We are exposed to changes in interest rates, which primarily impact our borrowings and cash investments. We manage interest expense using a mixture of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. As part of our 2022 funding actions, we incurred $8,250 million of fixed- rate debt as of December 31, 2022. A change in interest rates would impact the fair value of this debt, but would not directly impact our earnings or cash flows. On January 3, 2023, we completed a $2,000 million drawdown of the Term Loan Facility, which carries a variable interest rate. As a result, the primary direct interest rate exposure on our earnings and cash flows arises from the Term Loan Facility, which currently comprises approximately 20% of our total debt obligations. We began operations as an independent company with approximately $1,800 million of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, which are invested in short-term investments that generate income based on a variable interest rate. A hypothetical change of interest rates by 100 basis points would increase or decrease our annual interest expense by approximately $20 million, partially offset by the change in interest income from our cash investments.

COMMODITY RISK.

We rely upon supplies of certain raw materials including helium, iodine, and rare earth minerals. Worldwide demand, availability, and pricing of these raw materials have been volatile, and we expect that availability and pricing will continue to fluctuate in the future. If supply of these materials is restricted or if prices increase, this could constrain our manufacturing of affected products, reduce our profit margins, or otherwise adversely affect our business, our customers, and patients that may rely on our products.

Similarly, commodities and energy prices are subject to significant volatility. If the cost of certain commodities or of energy, shipping, or transportation increases and we are unable to pass along these costs to our customers, our profit margins would be adversely affected. Furthermore, increasing our prices to our customers could result in long-term sales declines or loss of market share if our customers find alternative suppliers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Disruptions in deliveries, capacity constraints, production disruptions up- or down-stream, price increases, or decreased availability of raw materials or commodities, including as a result of war, natural disasters, climate change-related physical and transitional risks, actual or threatened public health emergencies, or other business continuity events, adversely affect our operations and, depending on the length and severity of the disruption, can limit our ability to meet our commitments to customers or significantly impact our operating profit or cash flows.

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Income Taxes – Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets — Refer to Notes 2 and 11 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for tax attributes and for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the deferred tax liability or asset is expected to be settled or realized. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Future realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character. Sources of taxable income include future reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, expected future taxable income, taxable income in prior carryback years if permitted under the tax law, and tax planning strategies.

The Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was $272 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s determination of the valuation allowance involves judgments and estimates. Management’s primary estimates used to determine whether deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized and to measure the related valuation allowances are the projected timing and pattern of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the projection of future sources of taxable income. Auditing management’s projected timing and pattern of future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and the projection of future sources of taxable income, which affect the recorded valuation allowances, required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our income tax specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

With the assistance of our income tax specialists, our audit procedures related to estimated future sources of taxable income included the following, among others:

• We considered relevant tax laws and regulations in evaluating the appropriateness of management’s estimates of future sources of taxable income.

• We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s estimates of future sources of taxable income by comparing the estimates to historical sources of taxable income or loss.

• We evaluated management’s projected timing and projected pattern of the reversals of existing taxable temporary differences.

• We evaluated whether the estimated future sources of taxable income were of the appropriate character to utilize the deferred tax assets under tax law.

• We evaluated management’s assessment that it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be generated in the future to utilize certain net deferred tax assets.

• We evaluated whether the estimates of future taxable income were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

Income Taxes — Application of Separate Return Method — Refer to Notes 2 and 11 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company is included in certain U.S. and non – U.S. tax filings of General Electric Company, the Company’s parent company as of December 31, 2022. For purposes of these financial statements, the Company’s income tax provision is determined on a separate return basis as if the Company was a stand-alone entity, based on management’s interpretation of the tax regulations and rulings in numerous taxing jurisdictions. When calculating the income tax provision, management made certain estimates and assumptions when identifying and measuring deferred tax assets and liabilities and uncertain tax positions. The income tax provision for the Company for 2022 was $563 million. The Company’s net deferred tax asset was $1,180 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $465 million as of December 31, 2022.

Given the number of taxing jurisdictions and the complex and subjective nature of the associated tax regulations and rulings, auditing management’s application of the separate return method required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our income tax specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

With the assistance of our income tax specialists, our audit procedures related to management’s application of the separate return method included the following, among others:

• We evaluated the completeness of the Company’s identification of deferred tax assets and liabilities by:

◦Comparing the deferred tax assets and liabilities to those historically identified and accounted for by General Electric Company.

◦Analyzing the deferred tax assets and liabilities attributed to allocations of assets and liabilities historically held by General Electric Company.

• We selected a sample of deferred tax assets and liabilities and tested the accuracy, completeness, and classification of each selection.

• We evaluated management’s computations supporting the income tax provision.

• We evaluated management’s significant judgments regarding the identification and measurement of uncertain tax positions by analyzing uncertain tax positions of General Electric Company and determining which positions were attributable to the separate operations of the Company.
