Cash used for investing activities was $(1.3) billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.4 billion compared to 2024, primarily due to: a decrease in proceeds of $4.1 billion from the dispositions of our ownership interests in GE HealthCare and proceeds from the dispositions of our non-core licensing business and Electric Insurance Company of $0.5 billion in 2024, and an increase in cash paid for business acquisitions of $0.2 billion, partially offset by lower cash paid related to net settlements between continuing operations and businesses in discontinued operations of $3.2 billion, primarily related to the separation of GE Vernova in 2024 (a component of All other investing activities) and lower net purchases of insurance investment securities of $1.3 billion. Cash used for additions to property, plant and equipment and internal-use software net of dispositions, which are components of free cash flow*, was $0.8 billion and $0.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Cash used for financing activities was $(5.9) billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.4 billion compared to 2024, primarily due to: an increase in treasury stock repurchases of $1.4 billion, a decrease in cash received of $1.1 billion from stock option exercises (a component of All other financing activities) and higher dividends paid to shareholders of $0.4 billion, partially offset by net debt issuance of $1.4 billion, including new long-term debt issuance of $2.0 billion in 2025.

CASH FLOWS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Cash used for operating activities of discontinued operations decreased $0.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 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 increased $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to 2024, primarily driven by a reduction of cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 billion due to the separation of our former GE Vernova business in 2024
