2018 Annual Report WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION Annual Report
2018 Annual Report WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION Annual Report https://www.ge.com/investor-relations/annual-report Sustainability Website https://www.ge.com/sustainability FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Some of the information we provide in this document is forward-looking and therefore could change over time to reflect changes in the environment in which GE competes. For details on the uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements, see https://www.ge.com/ investor-relations/important-forward-looking-statement-information. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES We sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial data but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure. The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the CEO letter supplemental information package posted to the investor relations section of our website at www.ge.com. Cover: The GE9X engine hanging on a test stand at our Peebles Test Operation facility in Ohio. Here we test how the engine’s high-pressure turbine nozzles and shrouds, composed of a new lightweight and ultra-strong material called ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), are resistant to the engine’s white-hot air. -

General Electric Wind Energy Chooses Globalstar to Safeguard
General Electric Wind Energy chooses Globalstar's SPOT Gen3 to Safeguard Workers in EMEA and Asia Highlights: • General Electric Wind Energy will equip its employees in Pakistan and Morocco with Globalstar’s SPOT Gen3 safety devices, followed by deployments in further new markets across Europe, Middle East and Africa • Following a rigorous selection process, SPOT Gen3 was chosen for satellite tracking, one-touch SOS capability, superior reach and reliability • SPOT system, including GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Centre 24/7, performed flawlessly in drills with emergency services in Spain, UK and Pakistan Dublin, Ireland, November 30, 2016 – Globalstar Europe Satellite Services Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Globalstar Inc. (NYSE MKT: GSAT) and a leader in satellite messaging and emergency notification technologies, today announced that its SPOT Gen3 safety device is being deployed by major international wind technology provider, General Electric, to track and protect GE Wind Energy (GEWE) workers as they install, operate and maintain onshore wind power installations in emerging markets across EMEA and Asia. Globalstar’s value added reseller, Crambo Wireless S.A., initially provided GEWE with over 70 SPOT Gen3 devices to safeguard crews working at wind power installations in Pakistan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, among other locations. As GEWE expands into new territories it will deploy SPOT Gen3 devices to protect its workers in Ghana, Kenya, and elsewhere in Africa, as well as Central Europe and the Balkans. By mid-2017, GEWE personnel working at approximately 70 wind farms in EMEA and Asia are expected to have enhanced safety thanks to SPOT. Any major construction project comes with operational hazards. -

By installing 8,358 megawatts (MW) of new Wind Energy Program Mission: The mission of DOE’s Wind Igeneration during the year, the U.S. wind energy industry took and Hydropower Technologies Program is to increase the the lead in global installed wind energy capacity with a total of development and deployment of reliable, affordable, and 25,170 MW. According to initial estimates, the new wind projects environmentally responsible wind and water power completed in 2008 account for about 40% of all new U.S. power- technologies in order to realize the benefits of domestic producing capacity added last year. The wind energy industry’s renewable energy production. rapid expansion in 2008 demonstrates the potential for wind energy to play a major role in supplying our nation with clean, inexhaustible, domestically produced energy while bolstering our nation’s economy. Protecting the Environment To explore the possibilities of increasing wind’s role in our national Achieving 20% wind by 2030 would also provide significant energy mix, government and industry representatives formed a environmental benefits in the form of avoided greenhouse gas collaborative to evaluate a scenario in which wind energy supplies emissions and water savings. -
