SWOT Analysis

SWOT ANALYSIS
General Electric (GE) is a diversified industrial corporation. A broad product portfolio and revenue
stream reduces the business risks and provide cross selling opportunities, which in turn enables the
company to tap opportunities in new as well as existing markets. However, challenging
macroeconomic and political environment in the US and Europe could impact GEs sales volume
and overall business growth in the short term.

Strengths

Diversified product portfolio and revenue stream provides cross selling opportunities
GE is one of the largest and most diversified infrastructure and financial services corporations in the
world. The company is well diversified both in terms of business operations and end markets that it
serves. It operates through eight business segments: GE Capital, power and water, aviation,
healthcare, oil and gas, home and business solutions, energy management and transportation. The
GE Capital segment offers a range of financial products and services, including commercial loans
and leases, fleet management, financial programs, home loans, credit cards, personal loans and
other financial services. The power and water business segment covers power plant products and
services, including design, installation, operation and maintenance services. The aviation segment
offers products and services for the airframe manufacturers, airlines and government agencies.
Furthermore, the healthcare business segment provides medical imaging and information
technologies, medical diagnostics, patient monitoring systems, disease research, drug discovery
and biopharmaceutical manufacturing technologies. Similarly, the oil and gas segment deliveries

SWOT Analysis

mission critical equipment for the global oil and gas industry. Additionally, GEs home and business
solutions products are comprised of major appliances and related services for products such as
refrigerators, freezers, electric and gas ranges. Also, GE operates energy management.The segment
designs technology solutions for the delivery, management, conversion and optimization of electrical
power. GEs transportation segment is a supplier to the railroad, mining, marine and drilling industries.
In addition to the diversified product portfolio, the company has developed a balanced revenue
stream. For instance in FY2012, GE Capital, the company's largest business segment, accounted
for 31% of the total revenues, followed by power and water (18.7%), aviation (13.3%), healthcare
(12.6%), oil and gas (10.3%), home and business solutions (5.5%), energy management (4.8%) and
transportation (3.9%). Thus, broad product portfolio and revenue stream reduces the business risks
and provide cross selling opportunities, which in turn enables the company to tap opportunities in
new as well as existing markets. In addition, it also helps the company to balance revenues in the
face of a slowdown in a particular segment.
Successful inorganic growth strategy
In the recent past, GE has successfully adopted inorganic strategy to further enhance its overall
competitiveness in the marketplace. For instance, in 2013, in order to aggressively expand into
online banking and further reduce its reliance on potentially volatile financial markets for funds, GE
Capital acquired the deposit business of MetLife Bank, an online banking platform with approximately
$6.4 billion in US retail deposits. Similarly, GE recently acquired Dresser, Inc. which broadened its
product portfolio with technologies for gas engines as well as its oil and gas product portfolio with
control and relief valves, measurement, regulation and control solutions for gas and fuel distributions.
Additionally, GE expanded its portfolio of flexible subsea risers and flow lines by acquiring Wellstream
PLC and the Well Support division of John Wood Group.
Within the energy management business, GE significantly enhanced its product and service
capabilities in power electronics , industrial automation and process controls by acquiring Lineage
Power Holdings and Converteam. Furthermore, in the end of 2012, GE agreed to purchase the
aviation business of Avio S.p.A., an Italy-based manufacturer of aviation propulsion components
and systems for civil and military aircraft, for $4.3 billion. During the same period, GEs transportation
segment completed the acquisition of Industrea, a provider of mining products and services with a
focus in underground mining. Thus, by focusing on the inorganic growth strategy, GE has been able
to successfully expand its product offering to better cater to the evolving requirements of its customers
in the marketplace. This in turn supports the company in further diversifying its revenue base as well
as in maintaining competitive advantage over its peers.
Robust research and development capabilities
GE Global Research (GGR), the research and development (R&D) arm of GE, is one of the worlds
most diversified industrial research labs. GGRs diverse set of technology expertise covers range
of fields such as electronics, chemistry, biosciences, computing, metallurgy, fluid mechanics, materials
and imaging, among others.

SWOT Analysis

GGR is headquartered in Niskayuna, New York and has three other multidisciplinary facilities in
Bangalore, India; Shanghai, China; and Munich, Germany. GGR has won various recognitions in
range of fields. For instance, a team of researchers from GGR won award for their work on
development of crowdsourcing software platform. The team built a new, cloud-based, software
platform that enables a global community of experts to share ideas, design, and build complex
cyber-physical systems securely on the Internet. Furthermore, GE spends significant amount of its
capital towards its R&D activities. The company funded R&D expenditures of $4,520 million in
FY2012, $4,601 million in FY2011 and $3,939 million in FY2010. This represented more than 3%
of the total revenues generated by the company. Strong R&D capabilities enables the company to
bring new and innovative products to market and maintain technological leadership, which in turn
enables GE to expands its customer base and generate incremental revenues.

Weaknesses

High indebtedness exposes to credit risk


GEs significant debt level and related debt service obligations could negatively impact its operations.
Since last few years, even though GE has been able to bring down its leverage level, it still has
significant amount of externally borrowed funds. As at FY2012, the company had approximately
$236 billion in long-term borrowings which resulted in debt to equity ratio of 1.83.
With significant indebtedness the company has experienced downgrades from various credit rating
agencies. For instance, in April 2012, Moodys Investors Service downgraded the senior unsecured
debt rating of GE by one notch from Aa2 to Aa3 and the senior unsecured debt rating of General
Electric Capital Corporation (GECC) by two notches from Aa2 to A1. This downgrade could have a
negative impact on the companys cost of funds.
Furthermore, as the company dedicates significant cash flow from operations for the payment of
principal and interest on the debt, which would reduce the funds available for other purposes such
as acquisitions, capital investment and stock repurchases. Hence, if the company fails to check the
high level of debt on its books it could experience adverse impact on its source of liquidity as well
as on its overall financial flexibility. Further, high debt could have an adverse effect on GEs liquidity
position and may hamper its credibility in the market.
Dependence on third parties for raw materials
GE is reliant on third-party suppliers, contract manufacturers and service providers and commodity
markets to secure its raw materials, parts, components and sub-systems used in its products. This
reliance exposes GE to volatility in the prices and availability of these materials, parts, components,
systems and services. A disruption in deliveries from the company's third-party suppliers, contract
manufacturers or service providers, capacity constraints, production disruptions, price increases, or
decreased availability of raw materials or commodities, could have an adverse impact on GE's ability
to meet its commitments to customers or increase its operating costs. Quality issues experienced

SWOT Analysis

by third-party providers can also adversely influence the quality and effectiveness of the company's
products and services and result in liability and reputational damage.

Opportunities

Increased focus on energy sector


Following the 2007-2008 financial crisis, GE has realigned its business strategy from being a major
financial services conglomerate to industrial and manufacturing group. The company has now started
to focus on energy sector to fuel its future growth. Currently, oil and gas sector is the biggest industrial
growth platform for the company. Since 2007, GE has spent around $14 billion acquiring companies
that provide equipment or services to the oil and gas industry.
Within the energy sector GE is highly focused on the opportunities arising out of the recent
development in the shale gas market. In this regard, in July 2013, GE acquired Lufkin Industries, a
provider of artificial lift technologies for the oil and gas industry and a manufacturer of industrial
gears, for approximately $3.3 billion. The move broadens GE Oil & Gas artificial lift capabilities with
solutions for a wider variety of well types and technology for production automation and optimization
in the drilling industry. Furthermore, according to various industry estimates, the global artificial lift
sector is expected to reach $12.8 billion in 2013. The current growth is being fueled by the
development of unconventional shale plays and liquids-rich resource plays. For instance, in North
America, an increased pursuit of oil has driven demand for the rod lift systems manufactured by
Lufkin.
Apart from the shale gas sector, the company is also focused on the growing LNG market. Across
the globe, the demand for small-scale LNG production is growing as new discoveries of natural gas
are making it cost-efficient to use cleaner burning natural gas. In line with its strategy, GE Oil & Gas
acquired substantially all of the assets of the Salof Companies, a designer and manufacturer of
small-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) technologies. Similarly, GE also acquired 50% stake in
Beijing enCryo Engineering, a Beijing-based joint venture with Beijing Maison Engineering that
specializes in engineering for all aspects of the oil and gas, chemical and petrochemical sector.
Thus, increased focus on the energy sector, especially shale gas and LNG markets, would enable
the company to generate sustainable business performance and further drive its earnings and
profitability.
New contracts to enhance top line growth
GE entered into several new contracts, and further strengthened the existing contacts in recent
years. For instance, in September 2013, GE Capital Aviation Services, the commercial aircraft leasing
and financing arm of GE, and Boeing completed an order for 10 787-10 Dreamliners. Also, in the
same month, GE Aviation announced a $2.5 billion contract with German airline Lufthansa.
Furthermore, in June 2013, GE was awarded a contract with its consortium partner, Downer EDI,

General Electric Company


MarketLine

Page 45

SWOT Analysis

to supply 67 turbines, build and maintain the $350 million Boco Rock wind farm in New South Wales,
Australia.
Moreover, in May 2013, the company signed a multimillion dollar, multi-year maintenance plan with
the UK-based energy company RWE npower to provide a full range of services for its Great Yarmouth
and Little Barford power plants. In September 2012, GE Oil & Gas and Brazilian energy company,
Petrobras, signed the subsea wellhead production contract, worth nearly $1.1 billion. This included
the delivery of approximately 380 subsea wellhead systems and installation tools needed in oil well
exploration. In the same month, Athabasca Oil awarded GE a contract to design and supply an
integrated evaporator system for its 12,000 barrels per day Hangingstone oil sands operation located
near Fort McMurray in northeastern Alberta, Canada. Similarly in August 2012, GE Energy
Management's power conversion business received a contract from Singapore marine services
company, Swire Pacific Offshore Operations (Pte) Limited, to supply integrated power generation,
propulsion, dynamic positioning and automation systems for eight new offshore platform supply
vessels.
Thus, such new contracts help the company in generating incremental revenue growth and further
enhance its overall business results. Moreover, these acquisitions are likely to add new customers
and complement the existing product portfolio of the company.
Expansion of mining business
With focus on building new revenue stream and reducing its reliance on its huge financing arm, GE
has decided to expand its mining business unit. The continuing urbanization and growth in energy
demand in the emerging economies such as China and India augurs well for the long-term future of
the global mining industry.
In this regard, in September 2012, GE Transportation launched its newest business unit, GE Mining,
headquartered in Brisbane, Australia. Furthermore, the company plans to double the size of its new
mining business to $5 billion in revenue by 2016. Moreover, to aggressively position itself in the
growing mining equipment market, the company acquired the assets of Fairchild International, which
manufactures underground mining equipment. Additionally, in the mid of 2012, the company entered
into an agreement to acquire Australia based Industrea, a provider of safety and
productivity-enhancing mining equipment and services.
Thus, these acquisitions could help GE reach a global customer base with enhanced products based
on its propulsion systems, energy storage offering and system integration capabilities. In addition,
these acquisitions also help GE to penetrate into many untapped markets and strengthen its position
in the global mining sector.

Threats

Challenging macroeconomic and political environment in the US and Europe

General Electric Company


MarketLine

Page 46

General Electric Company


SWOT Analysis

The challenging macroeconomic and political environment in the US and Europe could limit GEs
growth prospect in the short term. The company is heavily reliant on the US and Europe market
which together contribute around 66% of its total revenue.
Though the US economy is slowly recovering, largely driven by housing and consumer, the capital
spending across various industries still remains sluggish. As a result, the US is currently experiencing
its weakest recovery since the 1930s. Furthermore, the company is expected to face major political
deadlock in 2013 ranging from the fiscal situation, repeated debt-limit controversy and tax reform.
For instance, in October 2013, the US government went through partial shutdown in 17 years primarily
due to Republicans' opposition to the healthcare reforms. This uncertainty could impact capital
investment in the US which in turn may result in lower orders across GEs industrial businesses.
In addition, GE also faces major headwinds from the weak economic conditions in Europe which is
expected to continue into 2013, especially in countries undergoing fiscal austerity programs. According
to various industry reports, in the first quarter of 2013, the euro zone economy declined for six
consecutive quarters. In addition, nine of the 17 countries were in recession which includes Spain,
France, Italy, Finland, Netherlands, Portugal, Cyprus, Greece and Slovenia.
The company has significant operation in the US and Europe. These regions accounted for more
than 66% of GE's total revenues in FY2012. Hence, a challenging macroeconomic and political
environment in the US and Europe could impact GEs sales volume and overall business growth in
the short term.
Environmental and other government regulations
GEs operations, like other companies in the industry, face several environmental and other
governmental regulations. It is subject to various federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws
and regulations in all of the jurisdictions in which it operates. These laws and regulations cover the
discharge, treatment, storage, disposal, investigation and remediation of some materials, substances
and wastes. GE is involved in environmental investigations or remediation at some of its current and
former facilities, and at third-party sites. The company incurred expenditure for site remediation
actions of $400 million in FY2012, FY$300 million in FY2011 and $200 million in FY2010. Further,
it expects that such remediation actions will require average annual expenditures in the range of
about $400 million over the next two years.
In addition, GE's businesses are subject to various US federal, state and foreign laws, regulations
and policies. These regulations and policies may force the company to modify its business models
and objectives or affect its returns on investment by making existing practices more restricted. For
instance, the US and non-US governments are undertaking a substantial revision of the regulation
and supervision of bank and non-bank financial institutions, consumer lending, the over-the-counter
derivatives market and tax laws and regulations, which changes may have an effect on GE's and
GE Capital's structure, operations, liquidity, effective tax rate and performance. The company is
subject to regulatory risks from laws that reduce the allowable lending rate or limit consumer
borrowing, local capital requirements that may increase the risk of not being able to retrieve assets,
and changes to tax law that may affect return on investments. Additionally, GE is also subject to a

SWOT Analysis

number of trade control laws and regulations that may impact its ability to sell products in global
markets.
Thus, compliance cost associated with such stringent environmental and other government regulations
could increase GEs operating expenditure, which in turn may have material adverse impact on the
company's cash flows, competitive position, and financial condition.
Aggressive competition
GE faces significant threat from the aggressive competition across it businesses globally. For instance,
the businesses in which General Electric Capital engages are subject to competition from various
types of financial institutions, including commercial banks, thrifts, investment banks, broker-dealers,
credit unions, leasing companies, and consumer loan companies, among others. Similarly, worldwide
competition for power generation products and services is intense characterized by various regional
and multinational companies.
The company competes with a number of US and international companies, including 3M, Hitachi,
Honeywell International, Mitsubishi Corporation, Siemens, Textron, and United Technologies, among
others. Thus, operating in intense competitive environment could result in pricing pressure risks
which in turn may adversely impact GEs margins and profitability.

COMPANY VIEW
A statement by Jeffrey R. Immelt, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at General Electric
Company, is given below. The statement has been taken from the company's 2012 annual report.
Last fall, we hosted a conference in Silicon Valley to launch what we call the Industrial Internet, an
open, global network that connects people, data and machines. Its about making infrastructure more
intelligent and advancing the industries critical to the world we live in. We believe its about the future
of industryenergy, healthcare, transportation, manufacturing. Its about making the world work
better.
At the conference, we put a GEnx engine on the stage. People posed for pictures with the engine;
they marveled at the technology and its sheer size. It was a reminder of two things. First, few
companies can do what GE does; the scale we operate on and our decades of investment are a
competitive advantage. Second, in an uncertain economy, long-term growth and competitiveness
require the endless pursuit of innovative productivity. Similarly, I recently returned from Sub-Saharan
Africa, a region that was off the radar when I became CEO. Today, we are at a $3 billion annual
run rate, and that could double in the next few years. GE could have $1 billion Franchises in Nigeria,
South Africa, Mozambique and Angola. We are investing in capability and people.
There are very few American companies in the region. But we could sell more gas turbines in Africa
than in the U.S. in the next few years. A GE annual report has never fully featured software and
Africa. Today, we feel they are essential and we can lead. Our ability to create our own future is why
GE can win in any environment. It starts with a culturethe foundation for any successful
enterprisea culture that inspires our people to improve every day. Our team is missionbased:
We build, move, power and cure the world. We believe in a better way: We constantly learn from
our customers, our competition and each other. We seek solutions for our customers and society.
And we are a We Company. We know that strong teams with great people outperform individuals.
That is why GE Works.
The global economy for 2012 was within our planning scenario, but short of our hopes. Maybe the
best news believe it or notwas Europe. It didnt implode! The U.S. is improving, driven mainly
by housing and the consumer, but capital investment remains sluggish. As a result, the U.S. continued
its weakest recovery since the 1930s. China slowed as it went through a political transition. Because
of a weak macro environment, we were able to lower input costs, and that had a positive impact on
our margins.
We expect 2013 to be another typical year in the Reset Era. We remain confident in the economic
strength of the emerging markets. We are encouraged by renewed growth and reform in China,
which has a positive impact on other big resource-rich regions like Africa, Latin America and the
Middle East. At the same time, we are in unprecedented fiscal territory in the U.S. and Europe, which
will keep a limit on growth in the short term.

The major source of volatility in corporate planning is the U.S., something I never thought I would
see. We would all like to believe that the U.S. will continue at a steady rate of 3%4% GDP growth,
as we saw in the 30 years before the global financial crisis. However, the U.S. faces more major
political storms this year: the fiscal situation, repeated debt-limit controversy and tax reform. We
fear that this uncertainty will impact capital investment. And the amount of regulation tends to grow
during periods of fiscal strain, and we are certainly seeing that in the U.S. The number of major
regulations regulations with more than $100 million of impacthas exploded in the last few years.
The result has been an additional burden on business.
Until we solve for these constraints, it is hard to see that the U.S. will return to its full growth potential.
We have demonstrated that GE can perform in this environment. In 2012, we grew our segment
profits by 11% to $22.9 billion. We generated $17.8 billion of cash from operating activities (CFOA),
up 48%, and returned $12.4 billion of cash to investors through dividends and stock buybacks. Our
total shareholder return grew by 21%, well ahead of the 16% growth in the S&P 500. Our market
cap grew by about $30 billion, and we remain the seventh most valuable company in the world.
We like the way GE is positioned in this environment: a great portfolio of world-class,
technology-leading businesses; a strong position in fastgrowth global markets; leading-edge service
technologies that achieve customer productivity; high visibility with a backlog of $210 billion; and a
strong financial position. We want investors to see GE as a safe, long-term investment.
One with a great dividend that is delivering long-term growth.
FIVE CHOICES THAT DRIVE THE FUTURE
Strategy is about making choices, building competitive advantage and planning for the future. Strategy
is not set through one act or one deal. Rather, we build it sequentially through making decisions and
enhancing capability. As we look forward, it is important that investors see the Company through a
set of choices we make for the purpose of creating value over time. First, we have remade GE as
an Infrastructure Leader with a smaller financial services division.
We like infrastructure markets because they are growing and because they utilize GE capabilities
in technology, globalization, financing and customer relationships. About $60 trillion of infrastructure
investment is needed by 2030 to support billions of new consumers joining the middle class in the
emerging world, and to support developed market productivity. At $100 billion of revenue with 15%
margins, we are the largest and most profitable infrastructure company in the world.
Over the last decade, we have grown our infrastructure platforms by investing in adjacencies, pursuing
opportunities that are closely related to our core. About one-third of our infrastructure revenues
comes from businesses we werent in a decade ago. These include fast-growth businesses like Oil
& Gas, Life Sciences, and Distributed Power. This growth has come through organic investment
and focused acquisitions.
At the same time, we are creating a smaller, more focused financial services companyone that
has a lower risk profile and adds value to our industrial businesses. We will continue to reduce the

size of GE Capital from the $600 billion of assets it was in 2008 to a goal of $300$400 billion in the
future. GE Capital has a sound fiscal position, with Tier 1 capital above 10% and strong liquidity.
We can generate returns above our cost of capital. Over the next few years, we plan for GE Capital
to return about $20 billion of dividends back to the parent. We will purposefully reallocate capital
from financial services to infrastructure and grow it faster. Our goal is to have infrastructure earnings
reach 70% of our total over time.
We have dramatically simplified GE over the past decade. The last major portfolio move we made
was exiting NBC Universal (NBCU). In the first phase, we sold 51%, and reallocated $11 billion from
the proceeds to purchase new platforms in Energy and Oil & Gas. These businesses already have
generated $1 billion of earnings and are growing 20% annually.
Recently, we announced an agreement for the disposition of the remainder of NBCU, and its real
estate, for $18.1 billion. This creates additional cash for value creation in the short term, through
increased share repurchase and investment in growth.
Second, we are committed to allocating capital in a balanced and disciplined way, but with a clear
priority for dividend growth. GE will generate $100 billion for allocation over the next few years,
including cash from existing operations, dividends from GE Capital and dispositions. The top priority
remains growing the dividend. Since 2000, we have paid out $106 billion in dividends, more than
any company except Shell, and more than we paid out in the first 125 years of the Company combined.
We like GE to have a high dividend yield, which is appealing to the majority of our investors.
We plan to buy back shares to get below 10 billion, where we were before the crisis. We will make
significant progress toward that goal in 2013 by allocating a significant portion of the NBCU cash to
repurchase our shares. In total, we plan to return $18 billion to investors this year through dividend
and buyback. We will continue to execute on focused acquisitions, a capital-efficient way to grow
the Company. We will keep our focus on acquiring specific capabilities where GE can add substantial
value.
We can execute on a few of these each year. Third, we have significantly increased investment in
organic growth, focusing on R&D and global expansion. In doing so, we have invested ahead of our
competition. We believe that investing in technology and globalization is key to gaining market share.
Annually, we invest more than $10 billion to launch new products and build global capability. We
make these investments with the full benefit of GEs scale. Over the past decade, we have doubled
our annual R&D investment, increasing $2$3 billion to 5%6% of revenue. Because of this
investment, we have progressed from a company that can launch one new commercial engine each
decade to a company that can launch one each year. We will launch 10 new gas turbines this decade,
significantly more than in previous times. We are a broader and deeper technology leader than at
any time in our history. We have built a company that has high share in growth regions. In 2012, we
had $40 billion of orders in growth regions, a 12% increase over the prior year and a threefold
increase in the last decade.
Achieving these results has required substantial investment in capability and people. Between 2010
and 2014, we are making 30 investments in manufacturing, research, services, customer innovation

and training in growth markets. We have developed and repositioned our leaders to capitalize on
growth-market opportunities.
We have 10,000 commercial resources focused on the needs of our customers in growth markets.
We have achieved local relevance with global scale. We use the entire GE enterprise to improve
the value of our investments in technology and globalization. For technology, we have a Global
Research Center Network that builds strategic capability, spreads technology around the world and
innovates for local markets. We have a Global Growth Organization, led by a GE Vice Chairman
that allows GE to better compete by using our talent.
Fourth, we have built deep customer relationships based on an outcomes oriented model. Our growth
is aligned with customer outcomes, and our products improve their productivity. We have grown our
service revenue from $21 billion to $43 billion over the past decade. Services represent about 75%
of our industrial earnings. With $157 billion of service backlog, we have the momentum to grow in
the future.
We believe in a solutions-oriented selling model, one that can deliver outcomes for customers. In
Healthcare, we are aligned around the major accounts so that we can help them transform ahead
of U.S. healthcare reform. In Oil & Gas, we deliver comprehensive technical solutions for our
customers. In Aviation, we create value through the performance of our new technologies. We only
win when our customers win.
Fifth and finally, we have positioned GE to lead in the big productivity drivers of this era. This is
important for growing our margins while keeping our customers competitive. The levers of productivity
are constantly changing. For more than a century, GE has been a leader in productivity and innovation.
We will lead in the shale gas revolution. The volume of and access to shale gas and other
unconventional resources in the U.S. (and other regions) will change the competitive balance in
energy for a generation. This gives the U.S. one of the lowest costs of electricity in the world and
the chance to be an energy exporter. Big industries like railcould convert from diesel to gas.
The option of becoming energy independent is now possible for North America. Through our Oil &
Gas business we can provide important content in extraction, development, and environmental
protection of shale gas. We are the world leader in gas-powered generation and transportation.
We are extending GEs lead in advanced manufacturing. Manufacturing is a major source of
competitive advantage. After decades of outsourcing capability, we now see companies rebuilding
their manufacturing strength. Companies used to make investment decisions purely on labor cost.
However, there are new materials that can revolutionize performance, and precision technologies
and high-power computing are transforming how we manufacture. GE will insource more
manufacturing content. We are investing in processing technologies such as additive manufacturing.
In the future, we aspire to reduce the cycle times for complex systems and lower cost.
We are making a major investment in software and analytics. We know that industrial companies
need to be in the software business. We want to make the analytics around our products, real-time
data, and operating solutions a GE core competency. We have built a Software and Analytical Center

General Electric Company

of Excellence in California, where we are adding a vast array of human talent to achieve our goals.
We know that our services in the coming year depend on building smarter machines with the ability
to extract and analyze data.
We will be a leader in analytics. And that will make GE more valuable to our customers. This is the
power of the Industrial Internet. The reason why analytics are important in the infrastructure industry
relates to what we call The Power of 1%. Across our customer base, improving asset performance
by 1% can add $20 billion of customer profit annually. In our world, small changes mean big outcomes.
For investors, we have defined where we play, how we win, our capital allocation priorities and
investments for the future. These five choices will set up our performance and drive our success
over the long term.
WE ARE EXECUTING ON OUR COMMITMENTS
Last year, we set focused execution goals for GE: double-digit industrial earnings growth; margin
expansion; restarting the GE Capital dividend to the parent; reducing the size of GE Capital; and
balanced capital allocation. We achieved all of our goals for the year.
Our businesses are performing.
In 2012, our industrial segment earnings grew by 10% to $15.5 billion. Our Energy Management.
This business is complementary to our core infrastructure franchise, yet our share is less than 10%
and our margins are lower than those of our competitors. We are seeing outstanding opportunities
for growth in power conversion and digital energy. We expect another year of strong industrial
performance in 2013. Oil & Gas, Aviation, Healthcare and Transportation should hit all-time-high
earnings in 2013. Our plan targets 10% industrial earnings growth. GE Capital had earnings of $7.4
billion, up 12%. Our Tier 1 common ratio is 10.2%, well above the regulatory goals. GE received a
$6.4 billion dividend from Capital. Our team has done a great job of reducing commercial real estate
exposure, which was $46 billion at year-end, down 50% from its peak. GE Capital continues to
outperform regional and money center banks in important areas like net interest margins and losses.
The core of GE Capital is being a leading lender to middle market customers, building on our deep
experience in, and understanding of, these markets and assets. In businesses like sponsor finance,
aircraft leasing and retail services, and middle market lending and leasing, GE Capital has deep
domain experience and will continue to grow.
Our initiatives are delivering results. We drive cross-company initiatives to generate organic growth
and improve margins. We review our progress against our long-term goals and through relative
performance of 20 industrial peers and large banks. Our performance is near the top in almost every
category, but we still have room for improvement. We have built broad technical capability that can
deliver big systems and foster innovation. Each year we file about 2,000 patents in the U.S., putting
GE in the top 10 for innovation. GE engineers and scientists from around the world collaborate and
demonstrate a real culture of execution.

GE products deliver vast customer value. Over the next few years, we will transform our aviation
engine product line with several new models, including the launches of GEnx, the CFM LEAP and
the GE9X. Each engine will improve airline fuel efficiency by 15%, while reducing emissions. By
2020, we will have 46,000 GE engines in service, up from 4,100 in 1990. That is a product of our
technical expertise. In Healthcare, we are launching high margin products at every price point and
across all modalities. This is how we win around the world. In computed tomography (CT), we
launched the Discovery CT750 HD FREEdom, a highend scanner, which can greatly reduce radiation
dose. At the same time, we launched the CT Brivo, sold at 20% of the price of a high-end scanner,
which is growing share in global markets. In fact, in the first six months, we sold 100 Brivos to Chinese
customers, many of whom had never owned a CT.
We leverage technology to launch new businesses. Our Energy Storage business is a great example
of how we innovate and bring to scale state-of-the- art technologies. Researchers in our GRC labs
invented a new battery based on technology from more than 30 patents. GE teams also designed
an Energy Management. This business is complementary to our core infrastructure franchise, yet
our share is less than 10% and our margins are lower than those of our competitors. We are seeing
outstanding opportunities for growth in power conversion and digital energy. We expect another
year of strong industrial performance in 2013. Oil & Gas, Aviation, Healthcare and Transportation
should hit all-time-high earnings in 2013. Our plan targets 10% industrial earnings growth. GE
Capital had earnings of $7.4 billion, up 12%. Our Tier 1 common ratio is 10.2%, well above the

have 46,000 GE engines in service, up from 4,100 in 1990.That is a product of our technical expertise.
In Healthcare, we are launching high margin products at every price point and across all modalities.
This is how we win around the world. In computed tomography (CT), we launched the Discovery
CT750 HD FREEdom, a high end scanner, which can greatly reduce radiation dose. At the same

time, we launched the CT Brivo, sold at 20% of the price of a high-end scanner, which is growing
share in global markets. In fact, in the first six months, we sold 100 Brivos to Chinese customers,
many of whom had never owned a CT.
GE teams also designed an advanced manufacturing process to build the battery efficiently. In
essence, we created a start-up within the Company, and we expect the business will generate more
than $1 billion in revenue annually in just a few years. Our growth-market revenue expanded by
11% to $37 billion. We have a segmented global strategy. We aspire to grow in China. We will lead
the industrialization of resource rich regions. And we will retain our operating presence in Europe
as it restructures. GE has a strong franchise in China that grew by 19% in 2012. Our advantage is
in localization and partnerships. Last year, we opened two customer innovation centers, in Chengdu
and Xian. At the same time, we are partnering with Chinese state-owned enterprises, achieving
global scale. In 2012, we announced a joint venture with XD, a Chinese leader in transmission and
distribution equipment, and digital energy. This allows us to capture global growth, in an industry
where we have low share, with a Chinese cost base.
Our other fast-growth global opportunity is in resource-rich countries, where we have built a
competitive advantage. From Latin America to the Middle East to Africa to Russia to Australia to
Canada, their goals are the same: converting resource wealth into industrial expertise and jobs. In
these regions, we remain committed to a Company-Country approach. Last year we announced
a $1 billion investment in Saudi Arabia across four GE platforms.
The payback from global investments is huge. Our recent acquisition in Power Conversion received
$600 million of orders in Brazil alone by leveraging GEs presence and relationships in the country.
Similarly, GE Transportation is building a $1 billion business in Russia and Kazakhstan, based on
local capabilities. Excellence in localization is a GE competitive advantage.
GE has a productive manufacturing and engineering base in Europe. We recently entered into an
agreement to acquire Avio, an Italian high-tech aviation supplier that would add to this base. While
Europe may remain sluggish for a while, we have an important installed base and smart and dedicated
teams helping our customers.
We will continue to be a good partner for Europe, sustaining a robust manufacturing and engineering
base. Services growth was 4%, fueled by a growing installed base and expanding content. The
Industrial Internet is revolutionizing the services we provide our customers, helping them to become
more productive operations. GE will leverage our vast service backlog to develop technologies that
enhance the performance of our productsand the enterprises in which they operatewhile growing
our dollars per installed base. The Industrial Internet is built on intelligent machines, advanced
analytics and people at work that can save airlines, railroads, hospitals and utilities billions of dollars
each year. The impact of these solutions is being felt by customers across various industries. Norfolk
Southern is a large North American Class I railroad and our launch customer for GE Rail Network
Optimization. This solution uses data and analytics to improve operating decisions across the entire
transportation network, including railroads, shippers, intermodal terminals and repair shops. They
estimate that every 1 mph increase in network speed saves them $200 million in annual capital and
operating expense.

In Healthcare, weve deployed our Hospital Operation Management (HOM) solutions in more than
50 hospitals. HOM tracks hospital assets to ensure that quality care is delivered across a patients
stay, from admission to discharge. The HOM launch customer was Mt. Sinai Hospital, where we
help them track 15,000 assets and have shown a 10% improvement in patient throughput.
We are taking a few bigger swings where we are improving the enterprises in which our assets
operate. In Aviation, to address the fleet performance of global airlines, we launched Taleris, a joint
venture with Accenture.
This analytical tool will allow airlines to predict maintenance events before they happen. The goal
is Zero unplanned downtime. Taleris aids airlines such as Qantas and JetBlue with their fleet
performance, maintenance and operations, allowing them to save millions of dollars annually through
more efficient use of their airplanes. Margins grew by 30 basis points to 15.1%. Our goal is to grow
another 70 bps in 2013. We will achieve this by improving processes while reducing structural cost.
We are in our third year of GE Advantage, our process-improvement program. Our teams are
improving on 40 big processes throughout the Company. I review each of these frequently, and we
realized $800 million of margin improvement in 2012. One good example is our Transportation:
Requisition to Platform process, which facilitates our new product launches. Results so far include:
80% system reuse; six month reduction in cycle; and a 35% reduction in sole-source suppliers and
overtime. GE Advantage helps us sustain a competitive advantage.
We are also simplifying the way we run GE, with an eye to lowering our structural cost and improving
our speed. In 2011, our selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) as a percentage of
industrial sales were 18.5%. We are aiming to reduce this structure to below 16% by 2014. This is
a total of $2.5 billion of cost out; by the end of 2012, we achieved 40% of our goal. Another big
contributor to better margins involves attacking product cost through better design. In our Aviation
business, where we have a solid backlog for many years, we are reshaping our supply chain to
increase GE content. We are investing in advanced materials, manufacturing technological global
capacity. In Appliances, we launched four new products in 2012. In 2013, we will launch four more.
All are increasing share and margins.
We are executing on our commitments. In 2013, we would like to: grow industrial earnings by 10%;
achieve 2%6% industrial organic revenue growth; return a significant amount of cash from GE
Capital to the parent; and return $18+ billion of capital to investors in dividends and buyback.
WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OUR CULTURE
Over the holidays, I was reviewing the annual Gallup poll that rates institutions in the U.S. Once
again, big business has a low overall rating, with 21% favorability, roughly a third of the approval for
small business. The mood reflects the economic environment.
We are lucky that government can set the floor with favorability at 13%. So is size inherently bad?
I dont think so. But size can breed a perversion of bureaucracy, a sense of entitlement and a distance
from reality. Size is bad when it crushes innovation. A good culture is the only filter that can make

size a strength and not a weakness. Over the past year or so, I have made it a priority to personally
connect with entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. I wanted to understand more about the start-up
culture and the ways that smart entrepreneurs run their companies. Now, I dont want to make GE
a startup.
GEs great strength is our scale.
GE has more than 40,000 salespeople, supported by 50,000 engineers and scientists; we can sell
in more than 160 countries with the worlds sixth most valuable brand. The trick is to keep all of that,
but without the bureaucracy and arrogance that can often accompany size. The fact is that GE was
becoming too complicated. We were simply working on too many things that arent important. We
had too many checkers and not enough doers. Visiting with entrepreneurs has helped me focus
on complexity, accountability and purpose. I have found two books The Lean Startup and The
Startup Playbookto be particularly useful. Entrepreneurs simplify everything. They are
purpose-driven. They focus on customers, people and solving problems. They do fewer things, but
with bigger impact. They dont delegate important decisions; rather, they position decision-makers
close to the action. There is no headquarters, no layer of checkers. They use judgment, they move
fast, and they are accountable.
The unique leadership movement inside GE today is Simplification. Part of it is structural. We want
the Company to be lower-cost, have shorter cycle times, and match authority to accountability. And
we need to accomplish this across multiple platforms, in diverse markets, living in an era of
hyper-regulation. But the other part of Simplification is cultural. Big companies fail when they lose
a culture of accountability accountability for outcomes. We must compete with purpose. And we
must deliver outcomes for customers, investors, society and each other. We are building processes
that drive speed, accountability and compliance. We are committed to long-term thinking despite
volatility in the current environment. The decisions we are making today will shape the Company
for years to come. GE can execute on a scale few can match. I hope, as an investor, that makes
you proud. So, what is leadership? It is the harnessing of culture, the culture of GE Works. We are
mission-based. We search for a better way. We drive solutions for our customers and society. We
are a We Company. It is driving accountability for outcomes. It is fostering smart risk-taking and
business judgment.
You have invested in GE. You know the choices we have made for the next decade. You have seen
our execution and the key metrics we use to manage the Company.You have a sense for our culture
and leadership team. You will see this reinforced in the rest of this report. Let me know what you
think.
