Reinsurance Corporation (ERC (database) ERC - An extended entity-relationship model. ) resulting from current-period

claims and increased estimates of prior-year losses, and a

$167 million loss at GE Equity. All amounts are after tax.

As required by new accounting rules, as of Jan. 1, 2002, goodwill is no longer amortized. Without goodwill amortization in third quarter 2001, EPS in third quarter 2002 would have increased 14%; adjusted for two significant non-cash items, goodwill and pension income, EPS would have increased 19%.
- Consolidated Revenues rose 11% over third quarter 2001 to $32.6 billion; excluding the GXS sale, revenues rose 9%. Industrial revenues, excluding the sale of GXS, grew 6%, with double-digit growth at NBC, Specialty Materials and Industrial Systems. Revenues at GE's financial services businesses were $15.0 billion, up 13%, reflecting last year's Sept. 11-related reduction in net reinsurance premiums earned. Net revenues (revenues less interest costs) at Commercial Finance, Consumer Finance and Equipment Management grew 19%.

- Cash generated from GE's operating activities, excluding progress collections, was a record $9.6 billion for the first nine months of 2002, up 16% from $8.3 billion last year. Reported cash flow from operations was $5.7 billion, which, reflecting the record progress collections in 2001, was 51% lower than last year's reported $11.7 billion. GE returned $6.9 billion to shareowners in the first nine months of 2002 through $5.4 billion in dividends and $1.5 billion in share repurchases.

- Operating margin in the quarter was 19.3%, up from last year's 18.9%, reflecting GE's continuing productivity gains and sales of high-margin services. For the first nine months of 2002, operating margin was 19.6%, up from last year's 19.1%.

- Financial Services earnings grew to $1.551 billion, up 19% from last year's $1.301 billion. This comparison reflects the Sept. 11-related reinsurance losses in third quarter 2001. Financial Services assets totaled $473 billion at the end of the quarter, up 21% from $391 billion at the end of third quarter 2001.
