•Cash from operating activities (GAAP) of $2.2B, (14)%; free cash flow* $2.0B, (14)%
CINCINNATI — Oct 20, 2026 — GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) announced results today for the third quarter ending September 30, 2026.
GE Aerospace Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., said, “We delivered strong results this quarter as solid demand drove orders up 49%, with strength in commercial services up 23%, total revenue up 18% and EPS up 36%. We are raising our 2026 guidance across the board, and we now expect 2027 commercial services to grow low-double-digits supported by our over $170 billion commercial services backlog.”
Culp continued, “Thanks to the collaboration of the GE Aerospace team with our supplier partners we continue to build momentum. By leveraging FLIGHT DECK fundamentals, year-to-date commercial services revenue and total engine deliveries were both up over 20%, including another quarter of record internal shop visit output. All the while, we're continuing to invest in our customers' needs with our agreement to acquire CPP to expand capacity, and over $3 billion in annual R&D to advance current and future technologies."
Recent highlights include:
•Increased material input from priority suppliers double-digits year-over-year, contributing to strong year-to-date Commercial Engines & Services (CES) services revenue and total engine deliveries, including LEAP growing 26%.
•Announced commitments for more than 1,800 engines at a historic Farnborough International Airshow, including the largest LEAP agreement ever for more than 1,000 LEAP-1A engines with IndiGo and in October, signed an agreement with Turkish Airlines for more than 300 LEAP-1B engines along with a long-term services agreement covering its entire LEAP-1B fleet of over 600 engines. In Defense, signed a contract worth up to $2.9B to provide ongoing support for the F414's powering the U.S. Navy's F/A-18 and EA-18G fleets.
•Signed an agreement to acquire Consolidated Precision Products (CPP) to expand mission-critical castings capacity for the aerospace industry to meet demand across commercial engines, aftermarket and defense. This acquisition would also accelerate the introduction of new engine technologies to our current fleet and next-generation platforms.
•Completed the world's first high-altitude hybrid electric flight above 30,000 feet in partnership with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), BETA Technologies, and Boeing, demonstrating the viability of more electric aircraft engine systems for greater efficiency, durability, and range.
•Advanced key defense programs, including the GEK800 (F143) engine with Kratos being designated as a second-source propulsion solution for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) and continued progress on the XA102 adaptive-cycle engine as the U.S. Air Force’s Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) program moves into hardware procurement and subcomponent testing.

Results and Guidance by Reporting Segment
The following discussions and variance explanations are intended to reflect management’s view of the relevant comparisons of financial results.

| Operating profit/(loss) margin | 27.9 | % | 28.0 | % | (10) | bps | 27.2 | % | 28.5 | % | (130) | bps | |||||||||||||||||
For the quarter, orders of $15.3 billion increased 58%, with services increasing 23% and equipment more than tripling. Revenue of $10.3 billion was up 21%. Services grew 17% with internal shop visit revenue up 12% from higher volume, including LEAP up over 40%, and heavier workscope; spare parts revenue grew over 20%. Equipment revenue grew 38%, driven by engine deliveries up 8%, including LEAP up 5%, and GEnx growth. While we delivered GE9X engines in the quarter, the impact from these shipments will be recognized post midseal certification. Profit of $2.9 billion was up 21% from higher services volume and price. Margins contracted (10) basis points from mix and inflation.
In 2026, CES now expects revenue growth of low 20s, up from our prior guide of ~20%, driven by higher services revenue, which we now expect to grow at the higher end of our prior guide of low 20s, and equipment revenue growth of low 20s, up from ~20%. Operating profit is expected to be in the range of $10.5-$10.6 billion, up from our prior guide of $10.25-$10.35 billion, driven by higher services growth and reduced GE9X impact.

For the quarter, orders of $4.3 billion were up 18%. Revenue of $3.5 billion grew 7%. Defense & Systems revenue was up 5% driven by growth in both services and equipment, including engine deliveries up 4%. Propulsion & Additive Technologies revenue increased 10% with growth driven by Avio Aero and Unison. Profit of $475 million was up 8% and margins increased 20 basis points from increased volume and price, partially offset by mix and inflation.
In 2026, DPT continues to expect revenue growth of low double digits and operating profit of $1.6-$1.7 billion.

Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP
We believe that presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides management and investors useful measures to evaluate performance and trends of the total company and its businesses. This includes adjustments in recent periods to GAAP financial measures to increase period-to-period comparability following actions to strengthen our overall financial position and how we manage our business.
In addition, management recognizes that certain non-GAAP terms may be interpreted differently by other companies under different circumstances. In various sections of this report we have made reference to the following non-GAAP financial measures in describing our (1) revenue, specifically Adjusted revenue, (2) costs, specifically Adjusted Corporate & other operating costs, (3) profit, specifically Operating profit and Operating profit margin; Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS), (4) cash flows, specifically free cash flow (FCF), (5) guidance, specifically 2026 Operating profit, 2026 Adjusted EPS and 2026 FCF.
The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow. Certain columns, rows or percentages within these reconciliations may not add or recalculate due to the use of rounded numbers. Totals and percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions.

| We believe that adjusting revenue provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of revenue from our run-off insurance operations. We believe that adjusting profit to exclude the effects of items that are not closely associated with ongoing operations provides management and investors with a meaningful measure that increases the period-to-period comparability. Gains (losses) and restructuring and other items are impacted by the timing and magnitude of gains associated with dispositions, and the timing and magnitude of costs associated with restructuring and other activities. We also use Adjusted revenue* growth and Operating profit* as performance metrics at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2026. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

We believe that Adjusted net income* provides management and investors with useful measures to evaluate the performance of the total company and increased period-to-period comparability, as well as a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding items that are not closely related with ongoing operations. We also use Adjusted EPS* as a performance metric at the company level for our performance stock units granted in 2026. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| We believe investors may find it useful to compare free cash flow* performance without the effects of separation cash expenditures and Corporate & Other restructuring cash expenditures (associated with the separation-related program announced in the fourth quarter of 2022 and acquisition-related costs). In addition, we include dispositions of property, plant and equipment, including sale leaseback activity. We believe this measure will better allow management and investors to evaluate the capacity of our operations to generate free cash flow*. We also use FCF* as a performance metric at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan and performance stock units granted in 2026. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2026 GUIDANCE: 2026 OPERATING PROFIT (NON-GAAP) | ||||||||||||||||||||
We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and corresponding GAAP measure for Operating profit* in 2026 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing of any gains or losses related to acquisitions & dispositions, the timing and magnitude of the financial impact related to the mark-to-market of our investment in BETA Technologies, Inc. and the timing and magnitude of restructuring expenses. Although we have attempted to estimate the amount of gains and restructuring charges for the purpose of explaining the probable significance of these components, this calculation involves a number of unknown variables, resulting in a GAAP range that we believe is too large and variable to be meaningful. | ||||||||||||||||||||
