 in proceeds of $2.6 billion from the disposition of our retained ownership interests in GE HealthCare in 2024. Cash used for additions to property, plant and equipment and internal-use software, which are components of free cash flow*, was $(0.2) billion for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cash used for financing activities was $(2.3) billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $2.2 billion compared to 2024, primarily due to: an increase in treasury stock repurchases of $1.6 billion; a decrease in cash received of $0.4 billion from stock option exercises (a component of All other financing activities); and higher dividends paid to shareholders of $0.2 billion; partially offset by lower net debt maturities of $0.2 billion.

CASH FLOWS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Cash used for operating activities of discontinued operations decreased $0.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by working capital cash usage and cash paid for income taxes at our former GE Vernova business in 2024. 

Cash from investing activities of discontinued operations decreased $1.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by lower cash received of $2.2 billion from net settlements between our discontinued operations and businesses in continuing operations related to the establishment of the opening cash balance for our former GE Vernova business in 2024. 

Cash used for financing activities of discontinued operations decreased $0.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by net debt repayments by our former GE Vernova business in 2024.
