NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. is a trusted partner and leading global healthcare solutions provider, innovating medical technology, pharmaceutical diagnostics, and integrated, cloud-first AI-enabled solutions, services, and data analytics.
The condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries (“GE HealthCare,” the “Company,” “our,” “us,” or “we”) have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in the financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. The December 31, 2024 period presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Tables throughout this document are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated and certain columns and rows may not sum due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts.
The financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
On January 3, 2023, the General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace (“GE”), completed the spin-off of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (the “Spin-Off”). Following this transaction, GE continues to be considered a related party due to the nature of our relationship and board member affiliation. Net costs incurred with GE were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements and notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. On the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, new line items were added and amounts were reclassified accordingly for the following items: amounts related to current compensation and benefits that were previously reported within All other operating activities – net, amounts related to purchases of investments previously reported within All other investing activities – net, and amounts related to equity award activity previously reported within All other financing activities – net. Additionally, amounts due from related parties and due to related parties which were previously shown on separate lines on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were reclassified to Receivables, All other current assets, Accounts Payable, All other current liabilities, and All other operating activities - net as applicable.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future, economic and market conditions, which affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although our estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 addresses investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This update also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We expect the adoption to impact disclosures in our notes to the financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 (“ASU 2024-03”), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 addresses investor requests for more transparency about expense information through the disaggregation of relevant expense captions in the notes to the financial statements. The provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We expect the adoption to impact disclosures in our notes to the financial statements.

NOTE 2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our revenues primarily consist of sales of products and services to customers. Products include equipment, imaging agents, software-related offerings, and upgrades. Services include contractual and stand-by preventative maintenance and corrective services, as well as related parts and labor, extended warranties, training, and other service-type offerings. The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when the customer obtains control of the underlying products or services.
CONTRACT AND OTHER DEFERRED ASSETS.
Contract assets reflect revenue recognized on contracts with customers in excess of billings based on contractual terms. Contract assets are classified as current or non-current based on the amount of time expected to lapse until the Company’s right to consideration becomes unconditional. Other deferred assets consist of costs to obtain contracts, primarily commissions, other cost deferrals for shipped products, and deferred service, labor, and direct overhead costs.

CONTRACT LIABILITIES.
Contract liabilities include customer advances and deposits received when orders are placed and billed in advance of completion of performance obligations. Contract liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the periods over which these remaining performance obligations are expected to be satisfied with our customers.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, contract liabilities were approximately $2,613 million and $2,629 million, respectively, of which the non-current portion of $724 million and $686 million, respectively, was recognized in All other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Revenue recognized related to the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was approximately $752 million and $741 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS.
Remaining performance obligations (“RPO”) represents the estimated revenue expected from customer contracts that are partially or fully unperformed inclusive of amounts deferred in contract liabilities, excluding contracts, or portions thereof, that provide the customer with the right to cancel or terminate without incurring a substantive penalty. RPO also excludes estimated revenue from arrangements where we lease equipment manufactured by the Company to customers.

The Company’s organizational structure is based upon the availability of separate financial information that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses segment performance using Total revenues and an earnings metric defined as “Segment EBIT.” Segment EBIT is calculated as income before income taxes in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income excluding the impact of the following: Interest and other financial charges – net, Non-operating benefit (income) costs, restructuring costs, acquisition and disposition-related benefits (charges), gain (loss) on business and asset dispositions, Spin-Off and separation costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and investment revaluation gain (loss). Segment EBIT is also used in the annual budget and periodic forecasting processes and informs the CODM in decision making regarding the allocation of resources to the segments.

On March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s existing 50 % interest in NMP was determined to be $301 million based on the cash consideration exchanged for acquiring the remaining 50 % equity interest. The carrying value of our 50 % interest was $204 million. The Company recognized a net gain of $97 million resulting from this remeasurement to fair value. This gain included the reclassification of certain amounts related to the Company’s 50 % interest out of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) – net (“AOCI”) including foreign currency translation gains of $63 million and losses related to a defined benefit pension plan of $8 million. The net gain from this remeasurement was recorded in Other (income) expense – net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The initial allocation of purchase price of NMP to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as reflected in the table above, is based on the Company’s preliminary allocations of their fair values. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized as of March 31, 2025. While all amounts remain subject to adjustments, the areas subject to the most significant potential adjustments are property, plant, and equipment, intangible assets, decommissioning liabilities, and deferred income taxes. The preliminary valuation required estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows and direct costs in addition to developing the appropriate discount rates. Accordingly, the purchase price adjustments are preliminary and are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed, and such further adjustments may be material. The Company’s management believes the fair values recognized for the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions.
Property, plant, and equipment is mostly comprised of land, buildings, equipment (including machinery, furniture, and fixtures) and construction in process. The fair value of property, plant, and equipment was determined using a market participant approach.
Other intangibles relate to $200 million of definite-lived intangible assets and $23 million of acquired in-process research and development. Definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of developed product market authorization rights and customer relationships. The acquired definite-lived intangibles are being amortized over a weighted-average estimated useful life of approximately 12 years. The estimated fair value of intangibles was determined using the income approach, which is a valuation technique that provides an estimate of the fair value of an asset based on market participant expectations of cash flows an asset would generate over its useful life.
The goodwill associated with NMP, recorded within the PDx segment, is non-deductible for tax purposes and is attributed to expected synergies with NMP’s existing assets and workforce that are expected to allow the Company greater access and growth in the Japan market.
Included in All other non-current liabilities are asset retirement obligations and decommissioning liabilities of $96 million, which were assumed in the transaction.
NMP has a defined benefit pension plan which has pension assets of $73 million and pension liabilities of $34 million, a net asset of $39 million, which we acquired in the transaction and is included in All other non-current assets.
Deferred income tax liabilities include the expected U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax consequences associated with temporary differences between the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the respective tax basis.
Due to the proximity of the acquisition date to the end of the Company’s first quarter, the revenues and earnings of NMP are not significant to our consolidated results. If the acquisition of NMP had taken place as of the beginning of 2024, consolidated revenues and earnings would not have been significantly different than reported amounts.

MIM Software
On April 1, 2024, the Company acquired 100 % of the stock of MIM Software Inc. (“MIM Software”) for approximately $259 million, net of cash acquired of $11 million, and potential contingent payments valued at $13 million pertaining to achievement of certain milestones, for a total preliminary purchase price of $283 million. The acquisition included up to $23 million of other contingent payments based on service requirements. The acquisition was funded with cash on hand. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The final purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of $189 million, customer-related intangible assets of $52 million, developed technology intangible assets of $48 million, net deferred tax liabilities of $13 million, and other net assets of $7 million. The goodwill associated with the acquired business, recorded within the Imaging segment, is non-deductible for tax purposes and is attributed to expected synergies and commercial benefits from use of the MIM Software technology in our existing GE HealthCare portfolio. MIM Software is a global provider of medical imaging analysis and artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions for the practice of radiation oncology, molecular radiotherapy, diagnostic imaging, and urology at imaging centers, hospitals, specialty clinics, and research organizations worldwide.
Revenue and earnings of MIM Software included in the Company’s financial statements since the acquisition date are not material to our consolidated revenue and earnings. If the acquisition of MIM Software had taken place as of the beginning of 2023, consolidated revenues and earnings would not have been significantly different from reported amounts.

NOTE 8. BORROWINGS
The Company’s borrowings include the following senior unsecured notes and credit agreements:
Senior Unsecured Notes
The Company’s borrowings include $8,250 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes in six series with maturity dates ranging from 2025 through 2052 (collectively, the “Notes”).
Credit Facilities
In the first quarter of 2025, the Company terminated its existing five-year and 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facilities. These were replaced with new five-year and 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facilities in aggregate committed amounts of $3,000 million and $500 million, respectively. The terms of the new facilities are substantially similar to those of the terminated facilities.
15
The Company has credit agreements providing for:
•a five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $3,000 million, maturing on March 27, 2030;
•a 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $500 million, maturing on March 26, 2026; and
•a three-year senior unsecured term loan credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000 million, maturing on January 2, 2026 (the “Term Loan Facility” and, together with the five-year revolving credit facility and the 364-day revolving credit facility, the “Credit Facilities”).
There were no five-year 364-day 500 million and $750 million outstanding on the Term Loan Facility as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In the first quarter of 2025, we repaid $250 million of the Term Loan Facility.

See Note 12, “Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements” for further information about borrowings and associated derivatives contracts.
LETTERS OF CREDIT, GUARANTEES, AND OTHER COMMITMENTS.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had bank guarantees and surety bonds of approximately $786 million and $784 million, respectively, related to certain commercial contracts. Additionally, we have issued approximately $24 million and $25 million of guarantees as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, primarily related to residual value and credit guarantees on equipment sold to third-party finance companies. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position reflect a liability of $2 million and $3 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to these guarantees. For credit-related guarantees, we estimate our expected credit losses related to off-balance sheet credit exposure consistent with the method used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost.
NOTE 9. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
We sponsor a number of pension and retiree health and life insurance benefit plans that we present in three categories: U.S. Plans, International Plans, and Other Postretirement Plans (“OPEB Plans”). Please refer to Note 10, “Postretirement Benefit Plans” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for further information. Pension plans with pension assets or obligations less than $50

In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made cash payments totaling $43 million to its U.S. Plans, $10 million to its International Plans, and $45 million to its OPEB Plans. In 2025, the Company expects to make total cash contributions of approximately $327 million to these plans. The Company funds annually, at a minimum, the statutorily required minimum amount for our qualified plans. Non-qualified plans are unfunded and we pay benefits from our cash on hand.
Defined Contribution Plan
GE HealthCare sponsors a defined contribution plan for its eligible U.S. employees. Expenses associated with our employees’ participation in GE HealthCare’s defined contribution plan were $45 million and $32 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES
Our effective income tax rate was 15.0 % and 24.2 % for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the release of income tax reserves in a foreign jurisdiction for tax years which are no longer subject to an assessment from the local taxing authorities, the remeasurement gain that was recorded due to the NMP acquisition which is not taxable, and research and development (“R&D”) benefits, partially offset by geographic earnings mix, withholding taxes, and state taxes. The tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is higher than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to geographic earnings mix, withholding taxes, and state taxes, partially offset by R&D benefits.
The Company is currently being audited in a number of jurisdictions for tax years 2004-2023, including China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

NOTE 12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING.
Our primary objective in executing and holding derivative contracts is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with risks related to foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, equity prices, and commodity prices. These derivative contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the aforementioned risks. Our policy is to use derivative contracts solely for managing risks and not for speculative purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of designated hedging instruments are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings and to the same financial statement line item impacted by the hedged transaction. As of March 31, 2025, we expect to reclassify $14 million of pre-tax net deferred gains associated with designated cash flow hedges to earnings in the next 12 months, contemporaneously with the impact on earnings of the related hedged transactions.
The cash flows associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in All other operating activities – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Net Investment Hedges
We use cross-currency interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts in combination with foreign currency option contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with our net investment in foreign operations. As of March 31, 2025, these contracts were designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign operations, primarily in Euro and Chinese Renminbi currencies.
The cash flows associated with derivatives designated as net investment hedges are recorded in All other investing activities – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash flows from the periodic interest settlements on the cross-currency swaps are recorded in All other operating activities – net in the Condensed Consolidated and Statements of Cash Flows.
Fair Value Hedges
We use interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk on our fixed rate borrowings. These derivatives are designated as fair value hedges to hedge the changes in fair value due to benchmark interest rate risk of specific designated cash flows of our senior unsecured notes.
We record the changes in fair value on these swap contracts in Interest and other financial charges – net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, the same line item where the offsetting change in the fair value of the designated cash flows of the senior unsecured note is recorded as a basis adjustment.
18
Cash flows for the periodic interest settlements on the interest rate swaps are recorded in All other operating activities – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We also execute derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and equity-linked total return swaps, which are not designated as qualifying hedges. These derivatives serve as economic hedges of foreign currency exchange rate and equity price risks. We also identify and record foreign currency-related features in our purchase or sales contracts where the currency is not the local or functional currency of any substantive party to the contract as embedded derivatives.
The changes in fair value of derivatives not designated in qualifying hedge transactions are recorded in Cost of products, Cost of services, Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”), and Other (income) expense – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the underlying hedged transaction. Changes in fair value of embedded derivatives are recognized in Other (income) expense – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The cash flows associated with derivatives not designated but used as economic hedges are recorded, based on the nature of the underlying hedged transaction, in All other operating activities – net and All other investing activities – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The cash flows related to embedded derivatives are included in All other operating activities – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Under the master arrangements with the respective counterparties to our derivative contracts, in certain circumstances and subject to applicable requirements, we are allowed to net settle transactions with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. However, we have elected to present the derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and in the table above.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the potential effect of rights of offset associated with the derivative contracts would be an offset to both assets and liabilities by $55 million and $77 million, respectively.

| Contingent consideration | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash equivalents
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $2,473 million and $2,889 million, respectively, included money market funds of $230 million and $312 million, and other cash equivalents of $1,229 million and $1,573 million, respectively. The carrying values of the other cash equivalents approximates the fair value due to their short maturities and are valued using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. Refer to Note 16, “Supplemental Financial Information” for further information.
Derivatives
Derivatives are measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow method or option models using interest rates, foreign exchange spot and forward rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatilities, and credit spreads as key inputs. Unobservable inputs relate to our own credit risk which is not significant to the overall measurement of fair value.
Contingent consideration
Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value based on estimates of future cash flows in connection with business acquisitions. As the valuation of these liabilities is based on inputs that are less observable or not observable in the market, the determination of fair value is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
Changes in fair value measurements of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as equity method investments, equity investments without readily determinable fair value, financing receivables, and long-lived assets, were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, with the exception of the gain on fair value measurement of the NMP equity method investment as described in Note 7 “Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets.
Fair value of other financial instruments
The estimated fair value of borrowings as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $9,223 million and $9,374 million, respectively, compared to a carrying value (which only includes a reduction for unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts and cumulative basis adjustment) of $8,759 million and $8,951 million, respectively. The fair value of our borrowings includes accrued interest and is determined based on observable and quoted prices and spreads of comparable debt and benchmark securities and is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 8, “Borrowings” and Note 16, “Supplemental Financial Information” for further information.
NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES, PRODUCT WARRANTIES, AND OTHER LOSS CONTINGENCIES
GUARANTEES.
The Company has off-balance sheet credit exposure through standby letters of credit, bank guarantees, bid bonds, and surety bonds. See Note 8, “Borrowings” for further information.
PRODUCT WARRANTIES.
We provide warranty coverage to our customers as part of customary practices in the market to provide assurance that the products we sell comply with agreed-upon specifications. We provide estimated product warranty expenses when we sell the related products. Warranty accruals are estimates that are based on the best available information, mostly historical claims experience, therefore claims costs may differ from amounts provided. An analysis of changes in the liability for product warranties follows.

LEGAL MATTERS.
In the normal course of our business, we are involved from time to time in various arbitrations; class actions; commercial, intellectual property, and product liability litigation; government investigations; investigations by competition/antitrust authorities; and other legal, regulatory, or governmental actions, including the significant matters described below that could have a material impact on our results of operations and cash flows. In many proceedings, including the specific matters described below, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss, and accruals for legal matters are not recorded until a loss for a particular matter is considered probable and reasonably estimable. Given the nature of legal matters and the complexities involved, it is often difficult to predict and determine a meaningful estimate of loss or range of loss until we know, among other factors, the particular claims involved, the likelihood of success of our defenses to those claims, the damages or other relief sought, how discovery or other procedural considerations will affect the outcome, the settlement posture of other parties, and other factors that may have a material effect on the outcome. For such matters, unless otherwise specified, we do not believe it is possible to provide a meaningful estimate of loss at this time. Moreover, it is not uncommon for legal matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be continuously evaluated.
Contracts with Iraqi Ministry of Health
In 2017, a number of U.S. Service members, civilians, and their families brought a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (the “District Court”) against a number of pharmaceutical and medical device companies, including GE HealthCare and certain affiliates, alleging that the defendants violated the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act. The complaint seeks monetary relief and alleges that the defendants provided funding for an Iraqi terrorist organization through their sales practices pursuant to pharmaceutical and medical device contracts with the Iraqi Ministry of Health. In July 2020, the District Court granted defendants’ motions to dismiss and dismissed all of the plaintiffs’ claims. In January 2022, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reversed the District Court’s decision. In February 2022, the defendants requested review of the decision by all of the judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the “D.C. Circuit”). In February 2023, the D.C. Circuit denied this request. In June 2023, defendants petitioned the Supreme Court to review the D.C. Circuit’s decision. On June 24, 2024, the Supreme Court vacated the D.C. Circuit’s decision and remanded the case to the D.C. Circuit for further consideration. On November 19, 2024, the D.C. Circuit heard oral argument from the parties, and the D.C. Circuit’s decision is pending. The proceedings in the District Court are currently inactive.
Government Disclosures
From time to time, we make self-disclosures regarding our compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and similar laws to relevant authorities who may pursue or decline to pursue enforcement proceedings against us. We, with the assistance of outside counsel, made voluntary self-disclosures to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) beginning in 2018 regarding tender irregularities and other potential violations of the FCPA relating to our activities in certain provinces in China. We have been engaged in ongoing discussions with each of the SEC and the DOJ regarding these matters. We are fully cooperating with the reviews by these agencies and have implemented, and continue to implement, enhancements to our compliance policies and practices. At this time, we are unable to predict the duration, scope, result, or related costs associated with these disclosures to the SEC and the DOJ. We also are unable to predict what, if any, action may be taken by the SEC or the DOJ or what penalties or remedial actions they may seek. Any determination that our operations or activities are not in compliance with existing laws or regulations, including applicable foreign laws, could result in the imposition of fines, penalties, disgorgement, equitable relief, or other losses.
NOTE 14. RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES
Restructuring activities are essential to optimize the business operating model for GE HealthCare and mostly involve workforce reductions, organizational realignments, and revisions to our real estate footprint. Specifically, restructuring charges (gains) primarily include facility exit costs, employee-related termination benefits associated with workforce reductions, asset write-downs, and cease-use costs. For segment reporting, restructuring activities are not allocated.
Net expenses for restructuring initiatives committed to by management through March 31, 2025 are included in the table below.

NOTE 15. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The numerator for both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) is Net income attributable to GE HealthCare. The denominator of basic EPS is the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share units is reflected in the denominator for diluted EPS using the treasury stock method.

SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE PROGRAMS.
The Company participates in voluntary supply chain finance programs which provide participating suppliers the opportunity to sell their GE HealthCare receivables to third parties at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the third parties. We evaluate supply chain finance programs to ensure the use of a third-party intermediary to settle our trade payables does not change the nature, existence, amount, or timing of our trade payables and does not provide the Company with any direct economic benefit. If any characteristics of the trade payables change or we receive a direct economic benefit, we reclassify the trade payables to borrowings. In connection with the supply chain finance programs, payment terms normally range from 30 to 180 days, depending on the underlying supplier agreements.
Included within in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were $364 million and $394 million, respectively, of confirmed supplier invoices that are outstanding and subject to third-party programs.
REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS.
The Company has noncontrolling interests with redemption features. These redemption features, such as put options, could require the Company to purchase the noncontrolling interests upon the occurrence of certain events. All noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within our control are recognized within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position between liabilities and equity. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are initially recorded at the issuance date fair value. Those that are currently redeemable, or probable of becoming redeemable, are subsequently adjusted to the greater of current redemption value or initial carrying value.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial results should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and corresponding notes (the “financial statements”) included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis provide information management believes to be relevant to understanding the financial results of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. and its subsidiaries (“GE HealthCare,” the “Company,” “our,” “us,” or “we”) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 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, 2024. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances; see “Forward-Looking Statements.” 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, 2024.
On January 3, 2023, the General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace (“GE”), completed the spin-off of GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (the “Spin-Off”).
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. Certain columns and rows may not sum due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts, and unless otherwise stated, represent changes year-over-year.
Effective July 1, 2024, Image Guided Therapies, previously part of the Imaging segment, was realigned to the Ultrasound segment. The Ultrasound segment was subsequently renamed Advanced Visualization Solutions (“AVS”). Following this realignment, the Company continues to have four reportable segments: Imaging, Advanced Visualization Solutions, Patient Care Solutions (“PCS”), and Pharmaceutical Diagnostics (“PDx”). These segments have been identified based on the nature of the products sold and how the Company manages its operations. Historical segment financial information presented within this report has been recast to conform to the new reportable segments structure. For additional information on our segments, refer to Note 3, “Segment Information.”
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, 2024.
KEY TRENDS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Global Trade and Macroeconomic Environment
In February 2025, the U.S. imposed new tariffs on products from China; in March 2025, those tariffs on Chinese products were increased and new tariffs were imposed on products imported from Mexico and Canada. These tariffs were in effect for less than a full quarter, and thus did not significantly impact our results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
In addition to the tariffs announced during the three months ended March 31, 2025, in April 2025, the U.S. announced additional new tariffs on imports from all countries in the world (except Mexico and Canada). China responded by announcing tariffs on U.S. imports, and subsequently both the U.S. and China announced additional tariffs. If maintained at current levels, we expect the U.S. and Chinese tariffs on imports from each other, as well as the U.S. baseline tariff on other countries (currently at 10% but subject to revision in July 2025), and the tariffs announced during the three months ended March 31, 2025, will materially impact our financial results through the incurrence of additional costs. Additional tariffs or other trade restrictions by the U.S. or other countries where we do significant business, or other restrictions on specific industries, such as pharmaceuticals, could further materially impact our results in the future. While we are taking actions to mitigate the impact of tariffs, it is highly unlikely that we will be able to fully offset the additional costs or other negative impacts resulting from the tariffs.
We continue to monitor the global markets in which we operate for changes in customer behavior, changes in government spending and reimbursement, and indirect impacts from the tariffs. Should these factors dampen economic growth, slow global trade, or impact inflation, we could see adverse impacts to our business as our customers adapt to the change in economic environment. We continue to monitor potential impacts on purchasing decisions by both public and private customers in China and other markets as result of the current trade environment, as well as other actions related to tariffs and trade frictions, investigations, or activities that could similarly increase our costs or otherwise impact our business. In addition, if negative sentiment towards U.S. companies influences the purchasing decisions of global customers, our business could be impacted materially.
27
China Market
We continue to monitor developments in the market in China. In March 2024, the government in China announced a new stimulus program (“2024 stimulus”) that includes the healthcare sector and is being implemented through China’s provinces. In addition, the focus of the government in China on combating corruption in the healthcare sector remains ongoing, and we expect it to remain a focus in the future. These factors contributed to delayed orders and revenues in our China business throughout 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. We expect the 2024 stimulus program will result in opportunities for our business in China in the longer term, but it has had short-term impacts as provinces develop and announce their plans and customers begin to make purchasing decisions. We expect these factors to continue to impact our orders and revenues in the near term, although we are unable to predict the exact duration or magnitude of the impact. We expect both of these impacts to be temporary, and we believe the focus of government policy in China on expanding access to healthcare will benefit our business in China in the long term.
Russia and Ukraine Conflict
We had $143 million and $162 million of assets in, or directly related to, Russia and Ukraine as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, none of which are subject to sanctions that impact the carrying value of the assets. We generated revenues of $64 million and $77 million from customers in these two countries for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 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. Under the current U.S. Department of Commerce regulations, we are permitted to export, re-export, or transfer medical equipment and spare parts that meet stated criteria under a License Exception, which has eliminated the need for us to obtain individual U.S. licenses in most cases; however, licenses still may be needed for some transactions. The European Union and other countries have also expanded licensing requirements for certain spare parts, services, software, and other items. We will continue to apply for licenses to supply to these customers and to support our business in Russia, as required. The implementation of these measures affected our ability to supply customers in Russia during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and will continue to do so as we confirm applicability of the U.S. License Exception to our transactions and continue to obtain licenses. There is no guarantee we will obtain all of the licenses for which we applied, that any approvals we obtain will be on a timely basis, or that our business in Russia will not be further disrupted due to evolving legal or operational considerations. The Board, together 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.
SUMMARY OF KEY PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Management reviews and analyzes several key performance measures including Total revenues, Operating income, Net income attributable to GE HealthCare, Earnings per share, and Cash from (used for) operating activities. Management also reviews and analyzes Organic revenue*, Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes* (“Adjusted EBIT*”), Adjusted net income*, Adjusted tax expense*, Adjusted effective tax rate* (“Adjusted ETR*”), Adjusted earnings per share*, and Free cash flow*, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These measures are reviewed and analyzed in order to evaluate our business performance, identify trends affecting our business, allocate capital, and make strategic decisions, including those discussed below. See “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion on our key performance measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures, a discussion of why we believe they are useful to management and investors as well as certain of their limitations, and reconciliations to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures are provided below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The segment revenues were as follows:
•Imaging segment revenues were $2,140 million, growing 4% or $77 million, with growth across all regions, led by Molecular Imaging and Computed Tomography (“MI/CT”) and Magnetic Resonance (“MR”) product lines;
•AVS segment revenues were $1,239 million, growing 1% or $12 million, with strength in the U.S. market largely offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts and continued pressure in the China market.
•PCS segment revenues were $753 million, growing 1% or $6 million, driven by strength in the U.S., including growth in Monitoring Solutions, largely offset by declines in Anesthesia revenues due to market timing and unfavorable foreign currency impacts; and
•PDx segment revenues were $632 million, growing 6% or $33 million driven by continued growth in price and volume.
The regional revenues were as follows:
•USCAN revenues were $2,237 million, growing 7% or $143 million with growth across all segment revenues, led by strong growth in PDx and Imaging revenues;
•EMEA revenues were $1,174 million, flat to the prior year, with growth in PDx and Imaging revenues offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts;
•China region revenues were $593 million, decreasing 1% or $4 million due to a decrease in AVS revenues and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, largely offset by growth in PDx and Imaging revenues; and
•Rest of World revenues were $773 million, decreasing 2% or $12 million due to unfavorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by growth in Imaging revenues.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025
Operating income was $629 million, an increase of $89 million and 160 basis points as a percent of Total revenues. The increase was due to the following factors:
•Gross profit increased $111 million or 120 basis points as a percent of Total revenues primarily due to a reduction in Cost of products sold as a percent of Total revenues. Cost of products sold decreased $4 million or 160 basis points as a percent of Sales of products. The decrease as a percent of sales was driven primarily by cost productivity, partially offset by unfavorable mix within our product offerings and cost inflation. Cost of services sold increased $20 million but decreased 40 basis points as a percent of Sales of services. The decrease as a percent of sales was driven by cost productivity and an increase in pricing of our service offerings, partially offset by unfavorable mix within our service offerings. Included in our total cost of revenue as part of our product investment was $96 million in engineering costs for design follow-through on new product introductions and product lifecycle maintenance subsequent to the initial product launch, compared to $101 million for the prior year comparable period; and
•Total operating expenses increased $21 million primarily due to an increase in Research and Development (“R&D”) investments of $20 million and an increase in Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expense of $2 million primarily driven by increased investment in our commercial teams, largely offset by a decrease in Spin-Off and separation costs. As a result, SG&A as a percentage of Total revenues decreased by 60 basis points and R&D as a percentage of Total revenues increased by 20 basis points.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measure
30
Net income attributable to GE HealthCare and Net income margin were $564 million and 11.8%, an increase of $190 million and 380 basis points, respectively, primarily due to the following factors:
•Operating income increased $89 million, as discussed above;
•Interest and other financial charges – net decreased $12 million primarily driven by repayments made on the Term Loan Facility;
•Non-operating benefit income decreased $28 million primarily due to lower expected returns on plan assets;
•Other income – net increased $107 million primarily driven by the remeasurement of the Company’s 50% interest in Nihon Medi-Physics Co., Ltd (“NMP”) based on the cash consideration exchanged for acquiring the remaining 50% equity interest. For additional detail on the NMP acquisition, refer to Note 7, “Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets”; and
•Provision for income taxes decreased $20 million primarily due to the release of income tax reserves in a foreign jurisdiction for tax years which are no longer subject to an assessment from the local taxing authorities. For additional detail regarding our income taxes, see Note 10, “Income Taxes.”
Adjusted EBIT* and Adjusted EBIT margin* were $715 million and 15.0%, an increase of $33 million and 30 basis points, respectively, primarily due to an increase in Gross profit, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
Adjusted net income* was $464 million, an increase of $51 million primarily due to the increase in Gross profit and lower Interest and other financial charges – net, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – SEGMENTS
We exclude from Segment EBIT certain corporate-related expenses and certain transactions or adjustments that our Chief Operating Decision Maker (which is our Chief Executive Officer) considers to be non-operational, such as Interest and other financial charges – net, Benefit (provision) for income taxes, restructuring costs, acquisition and disposition-related benefits (charges), Spin-Off and separation costs, Non-operating benefit (income) costs, gain (loss) on business and asset dispositions, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes, and investment revaluation gain (loss).

*Non-GAAP Financial Measure

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are supplemental measures of our performance and our liquidity that we believe will help investors understand our financial condition, cash flows, and operating results, and assess our future prospects. When read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as one basis for making financial, operational, and planning decisions. Descriptions of the reported non-GAAP measures are included below.
We report Organic revenue and Organic revenue growth rate to provide management and investors with additional understanding and visibility into the underlying revenue trends of our established, ongoing operations, as well as provide insights into overall demand for our products and services. To calculate these measures, we exclude the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency rate fluctuations.
We report EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted earnings per share to provide management and investors with additional understanding of our business by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors, on a normalized basis. To calculate these measures we exclude, and reflect in the detailed reconciliations below, the following adjustments as applicable: Interest and other financial charges – net, Net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, Non-operating benefit (income) costs, Benefit (provision) for income taxes and certain tax related adjustments, and certain non-recurring and/or non-cash items. We may from time to time consider excluding other non-recurring items to enhance comparability between periods. Adjusted EBIT margin is calculated by taking Adjusted EBIT divided by Total revenues for the same period.
We report Adjusted tax expense and Adjusted ETR to provide management and investors with a better understanding of the normalized tax rate applicable to our business and provide more consistent comparability across periods. Adjusted tax expense excludes the income tax related to the pre-tax income adjustments included as part of Adjusted net income and certain income tax adjustments, such as adjustments to deferred tax assets or liabilities. We may from time to time consider excluding other non-recurring tax items to enhance comparability between periods. Adjusted ETR is Adjusted tax expense divided by income before income taxes less the pre-tax income adjustments referenced above.
We report Free cash flow to provide management and investors with an important measure of our ability to generate cash on a normalized basis and provide insight into our flexibility to allocate capital. Free cash flow is Cash from (used for) operating activities – continuing operations including cash flows related to the additions and dispositions of property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) and additions of internal-use software. Free cash flow does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the capital required for debt repayments.
Management recognizes that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes. In order to compensate for the discussed limitations, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure are provided below, and no single financial measure should be relied on to evaluate our business.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2025, our Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balance in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position was $2,473 million. We have historically generated positive cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, we have access to revolving credit facilities of $3,500 million in aggregate, described in detail in Note 8, “Borrowings.”
We believe that our existing balance of Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, future cash generated from operating activities, access to capital markets, and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet the needs of our current and ongoing operations, pay taxes due, service our existing debt, and fund investments in our business for at least the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
| Cash Flow | For the three months ended March 31 | |||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Cash from (used for) operating activities | $ | 250 | $ | 419 | ||||

| Cash from (used for) financing activities | (286) | (153) | ||||||
Free cash flow* | 98 | 274 | ||||||
Operating Activities
Cash generated from operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $250 million and included Net income of $588 million, adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization expense of $136 million and gain on remeasurement of NMP equity method investment of $97 million, and $377 million in net outflows from changes in assets and liabilities. The changes in assets and liabilities are primarily driven by compensation and benefit payments, an increase in inventories to meet business demand, and company-funded benefit payments for postretirement benefit plans, partially offset off by an increase in accounts payable.
Cash generated from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $169 million compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to timing of employee compensation payments, with the majority of annual payments shifted from the second quarter to the first quarter of 2025, and inventory build.
Cash generated from operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $419 million and included Net income of $388 million, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $148 million, and a $116 million outflow from changes in assets and liabilities, primarily driven by company-funded benefit payments for postretirement benefit plans, annual prepayments, and an increase in inventory, partially offset by a decrease in receivables.
Investing Activities
Cash used for investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $407 million and primarily included purchases of businesses, net of cash acquired, of $269 million related to the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in NMP and additions to PP&E of $152 million related mostly to new product introductions and manufacturing capacity expansion. Refer to Note 7, “Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets” for additional information on the NMP acquisition.
Cash used for investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $188 million and primarily included additions to PP&E of $145 million related mostly to manufacturing capacity expansion and new product introductions.
Financing Activities
Cash used for financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $286 million and primarily included a repayment of $250 million of our outstanding Term Loan Facility. Refer to Note 8, “Borrowings” for further information.
Cash used for financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $153 million and primarily included a repayment of $150 million of our outstanding Term Loan Facility.

Free cash flow* was $274 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and primarily included $419 million of cash generated from operating activities, partially offset by $145 million of cash used for additions to PP&E.
Capital Expenditures
Cash used for capital expenditures was $152 million and $145 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Capital expenditures were primarily for manufacturing capacity expansion, new product introductions, and equipment and tooling for new and existing products.
Material Cash Requirements
In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts and commitments that obligate us to make payments in the future. Information regarding our obligations under lease, debt, and other commitments are provided in Note 7, “Leases,” Note 9, “Borrowings,” and Note 14, “Commitments, Guarantees, Product Warranties, and Other Loss Contingencies” to the consolidated and combined financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. We have material cash requirements related to our pension obligations as described in Note 9, “Postretirement Benefit Plans.”
Share Repurchase Program
On April 30, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $1,000 million of our common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in such other manner as determined by GE HealthCare. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date, does not obligate GE HealthCare to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company's discretion.
Debt and Credit Facilities
As part of our capital structure, we have incurred debt. The servicing of this debt is supported by cash flows from our operations. Additional information on our debt and credit facilities, including definitions of the terms used below, is included in Note 8, “Borrowings.” As of March 31, 2025, we had $8,759 million of total debt compared to $8,951 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in debt was due primarily to a repayment of $250 million of the outstanding Term Loan Facility in the first quarter of 2025.
The weighted average interest rate for the Notes and our Credit Facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 5.93%.
In addition to the Term Loan Facility, our credit facilities include a five-year senior unsecured revolving facility that provides borrowings of up to $3,000 million expiring in March 2030, and a 364-day senior unsecured revolving facility that provides borrowings of up to $500 million expiring in March 2026. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings on either of the two revolving facilities.
The Credit Facilities include various customary covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens securing debt, the entry into certain fundamental change transactions by GE HealthCare, and the maximum permitted leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenant requirements, including the maximum consolidated net leverage ratio.
Access to Capital and Credit Ratings
We plan to continue to rely on capital markets, and we expect to have access to credit facilities to fund our operations. The cost and availability of debt financing will be influenced by our credit ratings and market conditions. Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) currently issue ratings on our long-term debt.
Our credit ratings as of April 23, 2025 are set forth in the table below and remain unchanged since the Spin-Off.
Moody’s | S&P | Fitch | |||||||||
Long-term rating | Baa2 | BBB | BBB | ||||||||
Outlook | Stable | Stable | Stable | ||||||||
We are disclosing our credit ratings to enhance the understanding of our sources of liquidity and the effects of our ratings on our costs of funds and access to liquidity. Our ratings may be subject to a revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025, and that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS.
All internal control systems have inherent limitations; as such, they may not prevent or detect all misstatements or all fraud. Therefore, even those internal control systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and reporting. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that the current control structure may become inadequate for changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies may deteriorate.
