- Revenue growth of 7.4%, including Organic revenue growth* of 2.9%
- Total orders up 1.1% organically versus 10.3% growth in the year-ago period; book-to-bill of 1.07 times and backlog of $21.8 billion
- Profitability in the quarter was impacted by a discrete PDx supplier issue that has since been resolved
- Net income margin of 7.6% and Adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margin* of 13.5%; diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.85 and Adjusted EPS* of $0.99
- Cash flow from operating activities of $290 million and Free cash flow* of $112 million
- For the full-year 2026, Company reaffirms topline growth driven by healthy global end market demand; reduces profit and Free cash flow* outlook as assumptions for inflation became more pronounced during the quarter; including inflation impact, expect to deliver mid- to high-single digit Adjusted EPS* growth
GE HealthCare (NASDAQ:GEHC) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
GE HealthCare President and CEO Peter Arduini said, "As we start the year, we're pleased with topline performance, which came in at the high end of our expectations. Growth was driven by strong commercial execution in Pharmaceutical Diagnostics, including Flyrcado, Advanced Visualization Solutions, and Imaging, as well as services. We are maintaining our topline growth guidance driven by healthy customer demand globally.
"Profitability in the first quarter was impacted by a PDx supplier issue that has since been resolved. We saw significant increases in memory chips, oil and freight costs during the first quarter that we assume will impact the rest of 2026. Given these dynamics, we are taking a prudent approach and reducing our profit outlook but expect to offset more than half of the inflation impact with price and cost actions. Importantly, we are making meaningful progress executing on our new wave of innovation to accelerate future revenue and margin growth."
First quarter 2026 total company financial performance(1)
- Revenues of $5.1 billion, up 7.4%, including Organic revenue growth* of 2.9%, driven by Pharmaceutical Diagnostics (PDx), Advanced Visualization Solutions (AVS), and Imaging, with overall strength in U.S., EMEA, and Rest of World.

Non-GAAP financial measures
The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are supplemental measures of GE HealthCare's performance and its liquidity that the Company believes will help investors understand its financial condition, cash flows, and operating results, and assess its future prospects. When read in conjunction with the Company's U.S. GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in GE HealthCare's 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.
The Company reports Organic revenue and Organic revenue growth rate to provide management and investors with additional understanding and visibility into the underlying revenue trends of the Company's established, ongoing operations, as well as provide insights into overall demand for its products and services. To calculate these measures, the Company excludes the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency rate fluctuations.
The Company reports EBIT, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted earnings per share to provide management and investors with an additional understanding of its business by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors, on a normalized basis. To calculate these measures the Company excludes, and reflects 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. GE HealthCare 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.
The Company reports Adjusted tax expense and Adjusted ETR to provide management and investors with a better understanding of the normalized tax rate applicable to the 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. The Company 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.
The Company reports Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion to provide management and investors with an important measure of the ability to generate cash on a normalized basis and provide insight into the Company's 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. Free cash flow conversion is calculated by taking Free cash flow divided by Adjusted net income.
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.

Non-GAAP financial measures in outlook
GE HealthCare calculates forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including Organic revenue growth, Adjusted EBIT margin, Adjusted ETR, Adjusted EPS, and Free cash flow based on internal forecasts that omit certain amounts that would be included in U.S. GAAP financial measures. GE HealthCare does not provide reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the respective U.S. GAAP metrics as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort certain items such as the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, impacts associated with business acquisitions or dispositions, timing and magnitude of restructuring activities, and revaluation of strategic investments, amongst other items. The timing and amounts of these items are uncertain and could have a substantial impact on GE HealthCare's results in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Key performance indicators
Management uses the following metrics to provide a leading indicator of current business demand from customers for products and services.
- Organic orders growth: Rate of change period-over-period of contractual commitments with customers to provide specified goods or services for an agreed upon price, and excluding the effects of: (1) recent acquisitions and dispositions with less than a full year of comparable orders; and (2) foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in order to present orders on a constant currency basis.
- Book-to-bill: Total orders divided by Total revenues within a given financial period (e.g., quarter or FY).
Conference call and webcast information
GE HealthCare will discuss its results during its live earnings call today, April 29, 2026 at 8:30 am ET/7:30 am CT. The webcast and accompanying slide presentation containing financial information can be accessed by visiting the investor section of the website at https://investor.gehealthcare.com/news-events/events. An archived version of the webcast will be available on the website after the call.
