Consolidated Results
FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS. Total revenues were $16.1 billion, up $1.6 billion for the quarter, driven by increases at all segments and Corporate.
Continuing earnings (loss) per share was $1.38. Excluding the results from our run-off Insurance operations, non-operating benefit income, gains (losses) on purchases and sales of business interests, gains (losses) on equity securities, restructuring costs and separation costs, Adjusted earnings per share* was $0.82. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, profit margin was 11.6% and profit was down $4.6 billion, primarily due to a decrease in gains on retained and sold ownership interests of $5.3 billion, primarily related to our GE HealthCare Technologies Inc. (GE HealthCare) equity position, and an increase in separation costs of $0.2 billion. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in segment profit of $0.5 billion, the nonrecurrence of preferred stock dividends of $0.1 billion, an increase in Adjusted total corporate operating profit* of $0.1 billion and an increase in Insurance profit of $0.1 billion. Adjusted organic profit* increased $0.6 billion, driven primarily by increases at all segments and higher Adjusted total Corporate operating profit*.
Cash flows from operating activities (CFOA) were $1.0 billion and $0.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. CFOA increased primarily due to an increase in net income (after adjusting for depreciation of property, plant, and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash (gains) losses related to our retained and sold ownership interests in GE HealthCare, AerCap and Baker Hughes) and an increase in cash received in working capital, partially offset by a decrease in All other operating activities. Free cash flows* (FCF) were $0.9 billion and $0.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. FCF* increased primarily due to the same reasons as noted for CFOA above. See the Capital Resources and Liquidity - Statement of Cash Flows section for further information.

We continue to experience inflation pressure in our supply chain, as well as delays in sourcing key materials needed for our products. This has delayed our ability to convert RPO to revenue. While we expect the impact of inflation to continue to be challenging, we have taken and continue to take actions to limit this pressure, including lean initiatives to drive cost productivity, partnering with our suppliers and adjusting the pricing of our products and services. Also, because we operate in many countries around the world, we are subject to complex global geopolitical forces.
