MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements and corresponding notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes to be relevant to understanding the financial condition and results of operations of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (“GE HealthCare,” the “Company,” “our,” or “we”) for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. For a full understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, the below discussion should be read alongside the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and particularly in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations, see “Forward-Looking Statements.”

The following tables are presented in millions of United States ("U.S.") dollars unless otherwise stated, except for per-share amounts which are presented in U.S. dollars.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “GE HealthCare,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to (i) General Electric Company's ("GE's") healthcare business prior to the previously announced spin-off of the Company on January 3, 2023 (the “Spin-Off”) as a carve-out business of GE with related condensed combined financial statements and (ii) GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Spin-Off with related condensed consolidated financial statements.

GE HealthCare’s operations are organized and managed through four reportable segments: Imaging, Ultrasound, Patient Care Solutions (“PCS”), and Pharmaceutical Diagnostics (“PDx”).

TRENDS AND FACTORS IMPACTING OUR PERFORMANCE

We believe that our performance and future success depend on a number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and particularly in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

KEY TRENDS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Russia and Ukraine Conflict

We had $158 million and $143 million of assets in, or directly related to, these two countries as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, none of which are subject to sanctions that impact the carrying value of the assets. We generated revenues of $78 million and $58 million from customers in these two countries for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The potential inability to repatriate earnings from these two countries will not have a material impact on our ability to operate.

We continue to monitor the effects of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including the consideration of financial impact, cybersecurity risks, the applicability and effect of sanctions, and the employee base in Ukraine and Russia. Our board of directors (the "Board"), with management, will continue to assess whether developments related to the conflict have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on the Company.

TRANSITION TO STAND-ALONE COMPANY.

Financial Presentation Under GE Ownership

GE HealthCare utilized allocations and carve-out methodologies through the date of the Spin-Off to prepare historical condensed combined financial statements. The condensed combined financial statements herein for periods prior to the Spin-Off may not be indicative of our future performance, do not necessarily include the actual expenses that would have been incurred by us, and may not reflect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had we been a separate, stand-alone company during the historical periods presented. For additional information, see Note 1, “Organization and Basis of Presentation” to the condensed consolidated and combined financial statements.

Pension and Other Benefit-Related Liabilities

In connection with the Spin-Off, on January 1, 2023 GE transferred certain plan liabilities and assets to GE HealthCare. The amounts related to the plans assumed by GE HealthCare on January 1, 2023, in addition to the existing GE HealthCare plans, are shown in the table below.

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 purposes.

See Note 12, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for further information about our risk exposures, our use of derivatives, and the effects of this activity on our financial statements.

Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023 (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on their evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

We relied on certain material processes and internal controls over financial reporting performed by GE prior to the Spin-Off. Following the Spin-Off, new corporate and governance functions were implemented in order to meet the regulatory requirements of a standalone public company, such as external reporting, treasury, and stock administration. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information on material pending legal proceedings is incorporated herein by reference to the information set forth in Note 13, “Commitments, Guarantees, Product Warranties, and Other Loss Contingencies” to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are reporting the following environmental matter in compliance with SEC requirements to disclose environmental proceedings where a governmental authority is a party and that involve potential monetary sanctions of $300,000 or greater.

In July 2022, GE HealthCare received a notice of intention to impose an administrative fine of approximately $0.6 million related to a December 2019 liquid hazardous waste event at our Rehovot, Israel site. The event involved clean room waste that spilled onto an unsealed floor, leading to an escape of a small amount of liquid to a third-party facility on a lower floor. The Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection (“MEP”) concluded that the incident breached the site’s toxins permit. In accordance with local law, GE HealthCare has responded to MEP’s notice of fine challenging both the basis for, and level of, the fine. A decision from MEP is pending.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the period covered by this report.
