Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025, our Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balance in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position was $2,473 million. We have historically generated positive cash flows from operating activities. Additionally, we have access to revolving credit facilities of $3,500 million in aggregate, described in detail in Note 8, “Borrowings.”
We believe that our existing balance of Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, future cash generated from operating activities, access to capital markets, and existing credit facilities will be sufficient to meet the needs of our current and ongoing operations, pay taxes due, service our existing debt, and fund investments in our business for at least the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
| Cash Flow | For the three months ended March 31 | |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cash from (used for) operating activities | $250 | $419 |
| Cash from (used for) investing activities | (407) | (188) |
| Cash from (used for) financing activities | (286) | (153) |
| Free cash flow* | 98 | 274 |
Operating Activities
Cash generated from operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $250 million and included Net income of $588 million, adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation and amortization expense of $136 million and gain on remeasurement of NMP equity method investment of $97 million, and $377 million in net outflows from changes in assets and liabilities. The changes in assets and liabilities are primarily driven by compensation and benefit payments, an increase in inventories to meet business demand, and company-funded benefit payments for postretirement benefit plans, partially offset off by an increase in accounts payable.
Cash generated from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $169 million compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to timing of employee compensation payments, with the majority of annual payments shifted from the second quarter to the first quarter of 2025, and inventory build.
Cash generated from operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $419 million and included Net income of $388 million, non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $148 million, and a $116 million outflow from changes in assets and liabilities, primarily driven by company-funded benefit payments for postretirement benefit plans, annual prepayments, and an increase in inventory, partially offset by a decrease in receivables.

Share Repurchase Program
On April 30, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $1,000 million of our common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in such other manner as determined by GE HealthCare. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date, does not obligate GE HealthCare to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and may be suspended or terminated at any time at the Company's discretion.
Debt and Credit Facilities
As part of our capital structure, we have incurred debt. The servicing of this debt is supported by cash flows from our operations. Additional information on our debt and credit facilities, including definitions of the terms used below, is included in Note 8,“Borrowings.”As of March 31, 2025, we had $8,759 million of total debt compared to $8,951 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in debt was due primarily to a repayment of $250 million of the outstanding Term Loan Facility in the first quarter of 2025.
The weighted average interest rate for the Notes and our Credit Facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 5.93%.
In addition to the Term Loan Facility, our credit facilities include a five-year senior unsecured revolving facility that provides borrowings of up to $3,000 million expiring in March 2030, and a 364-day senior unsecured revolving facility that provides borrowings of up to $500 million expiring in March 2026. As of March 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings on either of the two revolving facilities.
The Credit Facilities include various customary covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens securing debt, the entry into certain fundamental change transactions by GE HealthCare, and the maximum permitted leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenant requirements, including the maximum consolidated net leverage ratio.
Access to Capital and Credit Ratings
We plan to continue to rely on capital markets, and we expect to have access to credit facilities to fund our operations. The cost and availability of debt financing will be influenced by our credit ratings and market conditions. Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), and Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”) currently issue ratings on our long-term debt.
Our credit ratings as of April 23, 2025 are set forth in the table below and remain unchanged since the Spin-Off.
| Moody’s | S&P | Fitch | |
| Long-term rating | Baa2 | BBB | BBB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlook | Stable | Stable | Stable |
We are disclosing our credit ratings to enhance the understanding of our sources of liquidity and the effects of our ratings on our costs of funds and access to liquidity. Our ratings may be subject to a revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
