GE HealthCare Q4 Earnings: Net Income Surges 75% as Margins Hit Record High
GE HealthCare (GEHC) reported strong Q4 2024 financial results with revenue growth of 2% year-over-year to $5.3 billion. The company achieved significant margin improvements, with net income margin rising to 13.5% from 7.7% and adjusted EBIT margin increasing to 18.7% from 16.1%.
For full-year 2024, GEHC posted revenue of $19.7 billion, up 1% year-over-year, with net income of $2.0 billion versus $1.6 billion in 2023. The company’s performance was driven by strong demand in Advanced Visualization Solutions and Pharmaceutical Diagnostics, particularly in the U.S. market, though partially offset by softness in China.
Looking ahead to 2025, GEHC provided guidance including organic revenue growth of 2-3%, adjusted EBIT margin of 16.7-16.8%, and adjusted EPS of $4.61-$4.75. The company also announced strategic partnerships with Sutter Health and Nuffield Health, while investing $138 million in its Cork, Ireland manufacturing facility.

Insights
GE HealthCare’s Q4 2024 results reveal a company successfully executing on multiple fronts despite market challenges. The 18.7% Adjusted EBIT margin represents exceptional operational efficiency, driven by productivity initiatives and improved pricing power. The 6% organic order growth and 1.09x book-to-bill ratio indicate strong market demand and suggest revenue acceleration in coming quarters.
The Pharmaceutical Diagnostics segment emerges as a standout performer, with 9% revenue growth and an impressive 32.9% EBIT margin. This performance, coupled with the planned acquisition of the remaining stake in Nihon Medi-Physics, positions GE HealthCare strongly in the growing radiopharmaceutical market.
Working capital management deserves attention, as operating cash flow declined to
The 2025 guidance of 2-3% organic growth appears conservative, considering the robust order book and strategic enterprise deals with Sutter Health and Nuffield Health. The projected margin expansion of 40-50 basis points suggests continued operational improvements, though Chinese market softness and new U.S. tariffs present headwinds.
The introduction of approximately 40 innovations in 2024 and strategic focus on AI-enabled solutions demonstrate strong R&D execution. The company’s ability to secure over 50 strategic enterprise deals globally indicates growing market share and customer confidence in its precision care strategy.

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
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 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 effective tax rate (“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

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 GAAP financial measures. GE HealthCare does not provide reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the respective 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 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, February 13, 2025 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 An archived version of the webcast will be available on the website after the call.
