ABOUT GENERAL ELECTRIC
ABOUT GENERAL ELECTRIC.
General Electric Company (General Electric or the Company) is a high-tech industrial company that operates worldwide through its four industrial segments, Power, Renewable Energy, Aviation and Healthcare, and its financial services segment, Capital. See the Consolidated Results section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for information regarding our results of operations and recent business portfolio actions. Results of segments reclassified to discontinued operations have been recast for all periods presented.
GE’s Internet address at www.ge.com, Investor Relations website at www.ge.com/investor-relations and our corporate blog at www.gereports.com, as well as GE’s Facebook page, Twitter accounts and other social media, including @GE_Reports, contain a significant amount of information about GE, including financial and other information for investors. GE encourages investors to visit these websites from time to time, as information is updated and new information is posted.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A).
The consolidated financial statements of General Electric Company (the Company) combine the industrial manufacturing and services businesses of GE with the financial services businesses of GE Capital and are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain columns and rows within tables may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented in this report are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions. Discussions throughout MD&A are based on continuing operations unless otherwise noted. The MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes to the consolidated financial statements. For purposes of the financial statement display of sales and costs of sales in our consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss), “goods” is required by SEC regulations to include all sales of tangible products, and "services" must include all other sales, including other services activities. Throughout MD&A we refer to sales under product services agreements and sales of both goods (such as spare parts and equipment upgrades) and related services (such as monitoring, maintenance and repairs) as sales of “services,” which is an important part of our operations.
We believe investors will gain a better understanding of our company if they understand how we measure and talk about our results. Because of the diversity in our businesses, we present our financial statements in a three-column format, which allows investors to see our GE Industrial operations separately from our GE Capital operations. We believe that this provides useful information to investors. When used in this report, unless otherwise indicated by the context, we use these terms to mean the following:
Consolidated
– the adding together of GE and GE Capital, giving effect to the elimination of transactions between the two. We present consolidated results in the left-side column of our consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss), Financial Position and Cash Flows.
GE
– the adding together of all affiliates except GE Capital, whose continuing operations are presented on a one-line basis, giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. As GE presents the continuing operations of GE Capital on a one-line basis, any intercompany profits resulting from transactions between GE and GE Capital are eliminated at the GE level. We present the results of GE in the center column of our consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss), Financial Position and Cash Flows.
GE Capital
– the adding together of all affiliates of GE Capital giving effect to the elimination of transactions among such affiliates. We present the results of GE Capital in the right-side column of our consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss), Financial Position and Cash Flows.
GE Industrial
– GE excluding the continuing operations of GE Capital. We believe that this provides investors with a view as to the results of our industrial businesses and corporate items.
This document contains “forward-looking statements” - for details about the uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements, see the Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements sections.
In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated financial data but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for the reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS.
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted global economies, resulting in workforce and travel restrictions, supply chain and production disruptions and reduced demand and spending across many sectors. Since the latter part of the first quarter, these factors have had a material adverse impact on our operations, financial performance and prices of our securities, as well as on the operations and financial performance of many of the customers and suppliers in industries that we serve. This section provides a brief overview of how we are responding to current and potential impacts related to COVID-19 on GE’s operations and financial condition and results, with additional details provided throughout the MD&A and other relevant sections of this report.
2020 2Q FORM 10-Q

MD&A
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
We have adopted operational and governance rhythms across the Company, and with our Board of Directors, to coordinate and oversee actions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including an internal task force to protect the health and safety of our employees globally and maintain business continuity; the assessment of financial and operating impacts, financial planning and mitigating cost, cash, and other actions in response; funding and liquidity management and related treasury actions; enterprise risk management and other functional activities across our global commercial, supply chain, human resources, controllership, government affairs, and other organizations. In particular, we took a series of actions during the second quarter to enhance and extend our liquidity at both GE and GE Capital (as described under "Debt offerings and tenders" below), and we continue to evaluate market conditions as they evolve and take precautionary measures to strengthen our financial position. We ended the second quarter of 2020 with
$41.4 billion
of consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, in addition to our available credit lines. See the Capital Resources and Liquidity section for further information.
While factors related directly and indirectly to the COVID-19 pandemic have been impacting operations and financial performance at varying levels across all our businesses, the most significant impact to date has been at our Aviation segment and our GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) aircraft leasing business within our Capital segment. The pandemic is having a material adverse effect on the global airline industry, resulting in reduced flight schedules worldwide, an increased number of idle aircraft, lower utilization, workforce reductions and declining financial performance within the airline industry, as well as requests for government financial assistance by various industry participants. This has decreased demand for higher margin service revenues within our Aviation segment directly impacting our profitability and cash flows during 2020. Our Healthcare segment experienced increased demand for certain types of products and services, including ventilators, monitoring solutions, x-ray, anesthesia and point-of-care ultrasound product lines, partially offset by decreased demand in other parts of the business as patients have postponed certain procedures and hospitals have deferred spending. Our other businesses were also adversely impacted by market developments, including delays or cancellations of new projects, new orders and related down payments. In addition, workplace, travel and supply chain disruptions have caused delays of deliveries and the achievement of other billing milestones directly impacting our profitability and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020. We anticipate many of these impacts experienced in the first half of 2020 related to demand, profitability and cash flows will continue in future periods depending on the severity and duration of the pandemic. For additional details about impacts related to Aviation and GECAS, Healthcare and our other businesses, refer to the respective segment sections within MD&A.
Each of GE's businesses and Corporate are taking cost and cash actions to manage risk and proactively mitigate the financial impact from COVID-19, as supply and demand dynamics continue to shift. In 2020, we are targeting more than $2 billion in operational cost out and more than $3 billion in cash preservation actions across the company, including more than $1 billion in cost out and more than $2 billion in cash preservation actions in Aviation, to right-size its cost structure and preserve its ability to serve customers. To date, we have realized more than one-third of savings from actions at the total company level, with further results expected in the second half of 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, excluding business dispositions, we reduced consolidated headcount by approximately 8,700, including 5,300 at Aviation and 1,500 at Power.
At this time, GE cannot forecast the full duration and magnitude of COVID-19 impacts, or the pace of recovery from the pandemic across our end markets, operations, and supply chains. See the Risk Factors section for further information about related risks and uncertainties.
BioPharma.
On March 31, 2020, we completed the sale of our BioPharma business within our Healthcare segment to Danaher Corporation. See the Segment Operations - Healthcare section and Note 2 for further information.
Baker Hughes.
We recognized a pre-tax unrealized gain of
$1.8 billion
(
$1.6 billion
after tax) and a pre-tax unrealized loss of
$3.9 billion
(
$3.1 billion
after tax) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, on our investment in Baker Hughes. See Notes 2, 3 and 21 for further information.
Goodwill impairments.
In the second quarter of 2020, we
recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $0.9 billion related to goodwill at our Additive reporting unit within our Aviation segment, that was recorded within earnings from continuing operations at Corporate. We also recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $0.8 billion related to our GECAS reporting unit within our Capital segment. See Note 8 for further information.
Debt offerings and tenders.
In the second quarter of 2020, we took a series of actions to enhance and extend our liquidity at both GE and GE Capital, issuing a total of $13.5 billion of longer-dated debt and reducing near-term debt maturities by $10.5 billion, with the remaining $3 billion to be leverage neutral by the end of 2021. The total pre-tax loss from these actions was $0.2 billion. Following these actions, GE Industrial has no remaining debt maturities in 2020 and 2021 and GE Capital has $5 billion of remaining debt maturities in 2020 and $3 billion in 2021.
We have also reduced debt by $9 billion year to date between GE and GE Capital, and we have cumulatively decreased our debt by approximately $22 billion between GE and GE Capital since the beginning of 2019. See the Borrowings section of Capital Resources and Liquidity and Note 11 for further information.

GE Industrial free cash flows* were
$(4.3) billion
and
$(2.2) billion
for the six months ended
June 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the same decreases in GE CFOA as noted above. See the Capital Resources and Liquidity - Statement of Cash Flows section for further information.

backlog
decrease
d
$24.0 billion
(
6%
) from December 31, 2019, primarily driven by Aviation
due to a reduction in our Commercial Services backlog and cancellations of commercial engine orders
, in addition to sales outpacing new orders. The reduction in Commercial Services reflects the cancellation of equipment unit orders, lower anticipated engine utilization, customer fleet restructuring and contract modifications. Power and Renewable Energy decreased due to sales outpacing new orders, and Healthcare decreased with the disposition of the BioPharma business of $1.2 billion. Backlog
increase
d $
5.2
billion (
1%
) from June 30, 2019, due to
an increase
in services backlog of $
11.4
billion (

), primarily at Aviation, partially offset by Power, and
a decrease
in equipment backlog of $
6.2
billion (
8%
), primarily at Power, Aviation and Healthcare. Excluding the BioPharma disposition, backlog increased $6.3 billion (2%) from June 30, 2019.
Remaining performance obligation (RPO), a defined term under GAAP, is backlog excluding any purchase order that provides the customer with the ability to cancel or terminate without incurring a substantive penalty. We plan to continue reporting backlog as we believe that it is a useful metric for investors, given its relevance to total orders. See Note 9 for further information.

These adjustments to reported backlog are expected to be satisfied beyond one year.

GE Industrial
revenues
decrease
d
$5.3 billion
(
25%
), with decreases in services and equipment. The decrease in services was primarily at Aviation; driven by commercial services due to lower part shipments and decreased shop visits, and Gas Power; due to declines in transactional and upgrades revenues. The decrease in equipment was primarily at Aviation;
due to 403 fewer commercial install and spare engine unit shipments, at Healthcare; due to the disposition of the BioPharma business
, and within Renewable Energy's Grid and Hydro businesses, partially offset by increases in Gas Power equipment revenues related to an increase in Heavy-Duty gas turbine unit shipments
.
This decrease included the net effects of dispositions of
$0.9 billion
and the effects of a stronger U.S. dollar of
$0.3 billion
. Excluding the effects of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency translation, GE Industrial organic revenues*
decrease

due to 682 fewer commercial install and spare engine unit shipments, at Healthcare; due to the disposition of the BioPharma business
, and within Renewable Energy's Grid and Hydro businesses, partially offset by increases in Gas Power; due to equipment revenues related to an increase in Heavy-Duty gas turbine unit shipments and Renewable Energy's Onshore Wind from higher turbine shipments
.
This decrease included the net effects of dispositions of
$1.3 billion

AVIATION AND GECAS 737 MAX.
Aviation develops, produces, and sells LEAP aircraft engines through CFM International (CFM), a company jointly owned by GE and Safran Aircraft Engines, a subsidiary of the Safran Group of France. The LEAP-1B engine is the exclusive engine for the Boeing 737 MAX. In March 2019, global regulatory authorities ordered a temporary fleet grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX. During the second quarter of 2019, Boeing announced a temporary reduction in the 737 MAX production rate, and CFM reduced its production rate for the LEAP-1B to meet Boeing's revised aircr
aft build rate. In December 2019, Boeing announced that it would temporarily suspend production of the 737 MAX beginning in January 2020. Aviation commercial equipment backlog as of June 30, 2020 includes over 10,000 LEAP-1A and 1B engines, including the impact of approximately 1,000 LEAP-1B unit order cancellations since year-end.
See the Segment Operations - Aviation section for further information. During 2020, CFM and Boeing reached an agreement to align production rates for 2020 and secure payment terms for engines delivered in 2019 and 2020, net of progress collections. In May 2020, Boeing resumed production of the 737 MAX. CFM and Boeing continue to work closely to ensure a successful reentry into service, with a strong commitment to safety while navigating near term industry disruption.
As of
June 30, 2020
, GECAS owned 29 of these aircraft, 26 of which are contracted for lease to various airlines that remain obligated to make contractual rental payments. In addition, GECAS has made pre-delivery payments to Boeing related to 78 of these aircraft on order and has made financing commitments to acquire a further 18 aircraft under purchase and leaseback contracts with airlines. During April 2020, GECAS agreed with Boeing to restructure its 737 MAX orderbook including previously canceled positions, resulting in 78 orders now remaining.
As of
June 30, 2020
, we had approximately $2.8 billion of net assets ($5.0 billion of assets and $2.2 billion of liabilities) related to the 737 MAX program that primarily comprised Aviation accounts receivable offset by progress collections and GECAS pre-delivery payments and owned aircraft subject to lease. No impairment charges were incurred related to the 737 MAX aircraft and related balances, as we continue to believe these assets are fully recoverable. We continue to monitor 737 MAX return to service and return to delivery developments with our airline customers, lessees and Boeing.
LEAP continues to be a strong engine program for us, and we delivered 450 engines for Boeing and Airbus platforms in the first half of 2020 and 3,840 engines since inception.

POWER.
We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on near-term demand and the impact it is having on our operations, including the supply chain and our ability to service our installed base. Global electricity demand declined in the second quarter, however, both gas-based electricity generation and GE gas turbine utilization remained stable. As a result, our long-term service agreement billings increased compared with the prior year. Our ability to close transactions has been impacted by constrained customer budgets and access to financing due to oil prices and economic slowdown, especially in Gas Power. We are seeing the impact on our suppliers and within our supply chain, which has resulted in delays in parts and equipment output. In addition, the servicing of our customers' assets has been delayed due to travel and country restrictions. Although there may be market challenges in the near term, we believe the long-term outlook for the role of gas in the power market has not materially changed.
Power is continuing to right size its business to better align with market demand and driving its businesses with an operational rigor and discipline that is focused on its customers’ lifecycle experience. We continue to partner with our customers, working through field service travel disruptions to effectively service their fleets to maintain operability.
As a result of expected volume declines from COVID-19 in the near term, we have taken several measures to offset these pressures. In addition, we executed on a hiring freeze, accelerated planned employee reductions where possible, and are initiating meaningful incremental headcount reduction plans in line with the demand profile.
Looking ahead, we anticipate the power market to continue to be impacted by overcapacity in the industry, increased price pressure from competition on servicing the installed base, and the uncertain timing of deal closures due to financing and the complexities of working in emerging markets and the ongoing impact of COVID-19. Market factors such as increasing energy efficiency and renewable energy penetration continue to impact long-term demand.
While we navigate the near-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to invest in new product development, such as our HA-Turbines, and upgrades as these are critical to our customers and the long-term strategy of the business. Our fundamentals remain strong with approximately $80 billion in backlog and a gas turbine installed base greater than 7,000 units, including approximately 1,800 units under long-term service agreements.

RENEWABLE ENERGY.
During the second quarter of 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our global manufacturing locations were temporarily closed or production reduced, and delays were observed across our long-term project sites. Accordingly, equipment revenues across the segment and most notably at our Grid and Hydro businesses were negatively impacted. Due to the importance of business continuity and the needs of our customers, we were able to continue maintaining customer assets. With the exception of certain operations in Brazil, all our manufacturing locations have since reopened and are returning to pre-COVID-19 capacity levels. While we do not believe the long-term outlook for renewable energy products and services has materially changed, we are monitoring the impact of the pandemic on the renewable energy industry, including electricity consumption forecasts and customer capital expenditure levels, supply chain, availability of financing and our ability to execute on equipment and long-term projects, including the impact of possible customer related delays. In response to volume declines, we implemented additional cost reduction measures, restructuring and cash preservation actions.
We continue to observe growth across the global onshore wind market together with a positive impact in the U.S. from the Production Tax Credit (PTC) cycle and customer preference shifting to larger, more efficient units to drive down costs and compete with other power generation options. Despite the competitive nature of the market, onshore wind order pricing has stabilized globally. In the U.S., in response to COVID-19 related risks to project completion timing, the recent one-year extension of the phase-down further extended the deadline for projects expecting to complete in 2020 and 2021 by one year. Under the current legislation, the PTC phase-down concludes in 2024. We expect to continue high levels of production for 2020 deliveries at Onshore Wind and are closely monitoring our execution during this period including risks of possible project postponements, supply chain and project fulfillment disruptions due to COVID-19 or otherwise.
The grid market remains challenging as we continue to experience pricing pressure in the High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) and High Voltage (HV) product lines. While we have experienced order declines in both these product lines, in July 2020, we announced Grid Solutions equipment and services (Grid) has been awarded HVDC scope for a 1.4GW offshore wind project in the United Kingdom. Both the Grid and Hydro businesses are executing their turnaround plans.
New product introductions remain important to our onshore and offshore customers who are demonstrating the willingness to adopt the new technology of larger turbines that decrease the levelized cost of energy. We continue to focus on cost reduction initiatives of our products, in-sourcing blade production and developing larger, more efficient turbines like the Haliade-X (Offshore Wind) and Cypress (Onshore Wind), for which we have observed significant market interest.
We are preparing for large scale production of Haliade-X and expect it to receive f
inal certification in the second half of 2020.

June 30, 2020
, segment orders were down $
0.7
billion (
19%
), segment revenues were down $
0.1
billion (
3%
) and segment profit was flat.
Orders decreased $0.6 billion (17%) organically, at Onshore Wind and Grid, partially offset by $0.1 billion higher orders at Hydro. The
decline in equipment orders and repower units, included within services, was primarily a result of delays arising from COVID-19.
Revenues increased 1% organically*, with higher revenue
from 26 more wind turbine shipments, or 2% more megawatts shipped, and 136 more repower units than in the prior year at Onshore Wind, offset by lower revenue at Hydro and Grid, primarily related to COVID-19
fulfillment delays and execution challenges.
Profit decreased 15% organically*,

$0.8 billion lower services backlog from Repower units given the phase down of the U.S. PTC cycle,
foreign currency translation and lower orders at Grid and Hydro.
Orders decreased $1.0 billion (14%) organically, primarily due to lower Onshore Wind turbine and repower unit orders, primarily from the U.S. PTC cycle compared to the prior year and the nonrecurrence of a large Grid Automated Control Systems (ACS) order, partially offset by $0.1 billion higher orders at Hydro.
Revenues increased $0.7 billion (12%) organically*, primarily from 404 more wind turbine shipments on a unit basis, or 36% more megawatts shipped, and 199 more repower units than in the prior year at Onshore Wind, partially offset by lower Hydro and Grid revenues, primarily due to COVID-19 fulfillment delays and execution challenges.
Profit decreased $0.1 billion (40%) organically*, as
the impact of higher sales volume at Onshore Wind was more than offset by lower sales volume at Grid and Hydro due to supply chain and project fulfillment disruptions, and the nonrecurrence of a $0.1 billion non-cash gain from the termination of two Offshore Wind contracts in the first quarter of 2019.
AVIATION.
The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a material adverse effect on the global airline industry.
A key underlying driver of Aviation’s commercial engine and services businesses is global commercial air traffic, which in turn is driven by economic activity and consumer and business propensity to travel. T
he pandemic evolved rapidly in March 2020, and resulted in government travel restrictions, public health advisories, and related declines in economic activity. These factors caused a significant decline in commercial aircraft departures, which is a leading indicator for billings and revenue generating shop visits. In April, aircraft departures reduced to approximately 76% below a pre-COVID-19 baseline. As a result, airlines grounded their fleets and, in many cases, temporarily ceased passenger operations. Due to the global airline industry contraction, Aviation’s airline and airframe customers are taking measures to address reduced demand, which, in turn, is having a material adverse impact on Aviation’s business operations and financial performance. Aviation is closely monitoring government actions and economic and industry forecasts, although such forecasts continue to evolve and reflect the uncertainty about the severity and duration of the decline in commercial air traffic. Aviation continues to track global departures, which as of June 30, 2020, were approximately 60% below the pre-COVID-19 baseline and have since improved to approximately 43% below in July 2020. More broadly, we are in frequent dialogue with our airline and airframe customers about the outlook for commercial air travel, new aircraft production, and after-market services. Given the current trend, we
expect domestic travel routes primarily served by narrowbody aircraft to recover before international travel routes which are primarily served by widebody aircraft. However, Aviation estimates the duration of the market recovery to be prolonged over multiple years dependent on various factors, including travelers' safety concerns, containment of COVID-19, medical treatment progress, and economic conditions
.
Aviation has and is continuing to take several business actions to respond to the current adverse environment, which is estimated to result in more than $1 billion in cost savings and $2 billion in cash preservation actions in 2020. We continue to partner with our airline and leasing customers and are working closely with our airframe customers to align production rates for 2020 and beyond. During the first half of 2020, Aviation took several measures including a hiring freeze, cancellation of salaried merit increases, and a reduction of all non-safety related discretionary spending, including capital expenditures and engineering and development efforts. Aviation also announced a plan for permanent reductions of approximately 25% of its total global employee workforce. During the second quarter of 2020, in addition to the planned permanent reductions, Aviation implemented a 90-day temporary furlough impacting approximately 50% of its U.S. maintenance, repair and overhaul employees and a four-week temporary furlough impacting its U.S. assembly operations and component manufacturing shops.

SEGMENT OPERATIONS
Aviation’s operational and financial performance is impacted by demand for commercial air traffic, oil prices, fleet retirements, and demand for new aircraft. We monitor and forecast each of these factors as part of Aviation’s long-term planning process, which may result in additional business restructuring actions. Given the uncertainty related to the severity and length of the global COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on these factors across the aviation sector, Aviation could be required to record additional charges, impairments, or other adverse financial impacts in future periods if actual results differ significantly from Aviation's current estimates.
In the second quarter of 2020, we
recognized a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $0.9 billion related to goodwill at our Additive reporting unit within our Aviation segment that was recorded within earnings from continuing operations at Corporate.
As it relates to the military environment, Aviation continues to forecast strong military demand creating future growth opportunities for our Military business as the U.S. Department of Defense and foreign governments have continued flight operations, and have allocated budgets to upgrade and modernize their existing fleets.
Total engineering, comprised both company and customer funded spending, decreased compared to prior year in line with the changes in the commercial environment. Company-funded research and development spend decreased compared to the first half of 2019, and we expect the reduction to continue in line with the actions outlined above. However, customer-funded engineering efforts, primarily in our Military business, continued to increase.
Aviation is taking actions to protect its ability to serve its customers now and as the global airline industry recovers. While its near-term focus remains on navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, Aviation’s deep history of innovation and technology leadership, commercial engine installed base of approximately 38,000 units, military engine installed base of approximately 27,000 units, with approximately 12,000 units under long-term service agreements, and
$258 billion
backlog represents strong long-term fundamentals. Aviation is taking actions to strengthen its business and seeks to emerge from this crisis stronger and drive long-term cash and profitable growth over time.

Revenues decreased $3.4 billion (44%) organically*.
Equipment revenues decreased primarily due to 403 fewer commercial install and spare engine unit shipments, including 259 fewer LEAP units and 74 fewer CFM56 units versus the prior year, in part due to the 737 MAX grounding and production slowdown. Commercial Services revenues decreased primarily due to lower commercial spare part shipments, decreased shop visits and the cumulative impact of changes in billing and cost assumptions in our long-term service agreements. Military revenues increased primarily due to higher volume of engine shipments and increased revenues on development contracts
.
Profit decreased $2.1 billion organically*, primarily
due to lower volume on commercial spare part and commercial spare engine shipments, and decreased shop visits in our service agreements. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, Aviation recorded expenses of $0.2 billion due to lower production volumes given decreases in demand primarily related to commercial engines. Aviation also recorded pre-tax charges totaling $0.2 billion due to expected future losses related primarily to customer credit risk given the current environment. In addition, Aviation recorded a $0.4 billion
pre-tax charge to reflect the cumulative impacts of changes to billing and cost assumptions for certain long-term service agreements, reflecting lower engine utilization, anticipated customer fleet restructuring and contract modifications
. Additional adjustments could occur in future periods and could be material for certain long-term service agreements if actual customer operating behavior differs significantly from Aviation’s current estimates.

Backlog as of
June 30, 2020
decreased $14.9 billion (5%) from December 31, 2019,
primarily due to a reduction in our Commercial Services backlog and cancellations of commercial equipment orders
,
in addition to sales outpacing new orders. Commercial equipment cancellations included approximately 1,000 LEAP-1B unit order cancellations and 22 GE9X unit order cancellations since year-end. The reduction to Commercial Services backlog reflects the partial cancellation of long-term service agreements related to the equipment unit order cancellations, estimates of lower engine utilization, and anticipated customer fleet restructuring and contract modifications. In addition to cancellations removed from backlog during 2020, there were several public customer announcements that indicate an intent to cancel, however, customer purchase orders with Aviation or the airframer have not been canceled as of June 30, 2020. Based on information currently available, the value of the announced but not canceled orders is less than $2 billion of total backlog. Backlog adjustments could be necessary in future periods for additional cancellations of new commercial engine orders, fleet retirements, or changes to customer aircraft utilization and operating behavior.

Military orders increased 60% compared to the prior year primarily driven by equipment and new development orders, including a significant order from the U.S. Department of Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for F414 engines in the first quarter of 2020.
Revenues decreased $4.3 billion (28%) organically*.
Equipment revenues decreased, primarily due to 682 fewer commercial install and spare engine unit shipments, including 411 fewer LEAP units and 172 fewer CFM56 units versus the prior year, in part due to the 737 MAX grounding and production slowdown.

HEALTHCARE.
During the first half of 2020, there was an increase in demand for certain of our products that are highly correlated to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including ventilators, monitoring solutions, x-ray, anesthesia and point-of-care ultrasound product lines. However, we also saw reduction in demand and delays in procurement in other products and services that were not critical to the response efforts or where procedures could be postponed (magnetic resonance, contrast agents and nuclear tracers). The pandemic is driving uncertainty in our markets globally, as well as additional supply chain and logistics costs, and we expect this to continue. In response to expected near term volatility and cost pressures, we have initiated additional cost reduction, restructuring and cash preservation actions.
The global healthcare market has continued to expand, driven by macro trends relating to growing and aging populations, increasing chronic and lifestyle-related diseases, accelerating demand for healthcare in emerging markets, and increasing use of diagnostic imaging. Technological innovation that makes it possible to address an increasing number of diseases, conditions and patients in a more cost-effective manner has also driven growth across each of our global markets.
The Healthcare Systems (HCS) equipment market over the long term continues to expand at low single-digit rates or better, while demand continues for services on new equipment as well as on our existing installed base. However, there is short-term variation driven by market-specific political, environmental and economic cycles. Growth in emerging markets is driven by long-term trends of expanding demand and access to healthcare. Developed markets are expected to remain steady in the near term driven by macro trends in the healthcare industry.
The impact of tariffs on certain types of medical equipment and components that we import from China resulted in increased product costs. We continue to take mitigating actions including moving our sourcing and manufacturing for these parts outside of China. There has been some moderation in tariffs in both U.S. and China, however, this is subject to changes in U.S.-China trade relations.
The Pharmaceutical Diagnostics (PDX) business is positioned in the contrast agent and nuclear tracer markets. This market is expected to grow over the long-term, driven by continued diagnostic imaging procedure growth and increasing contrast and tracer-enhanced biomarkers of these same procedures, as these products help to increase the precision of the diagnostic information provided to clinicians. However, in the short-term the reduction in procedures not related to COVID-19 has temporarily reduced demand.
We continue focusing on creating new products and digital solutions as well as expanding uses of existing offerings that are tailored to the different needs of our global customers. In March 2020, we launched two new real-time applications in our Command Center software platform. The Infectious Disease Tile helps hospitals manage COVID-19 patient outcomes and staff safety. The Critical Resource Tile helps manage Intensive Care Units (ICUs), non-ICU beds and ventilators to help ensure resources are best deployed to meet patient needs. In addition, GE partnered with Microsoft to deploy its Mural Virtual Care Solution, which helps centrally manage the status of multiple ICU patients that have COVID-19. We also introduced Air Recon DL, the industry's first FDA 510(k)-cleared deep learning-based MR image reconstruction technology offering shorter scans and better image quality.

CAPITAL.
We continue to evaluate strategic options to accelerate the further reduction in the size of GE Capital, some of which could result in material financial charges depending on the timing, negotiated terms and conditions of any ultimate arrangements.
At GE Capital, the primary effect of the COVID-19 pandemic pertains to its GECAS business. The pandemic has led to worldwide reduction of flight schedules and it is difficult to predict its longer-term impact.
In the second quarter of 2020, the estimated fair value of the GECAS reporting unit declined below book value, reflecting downward revisions to internal forecasts and decreases in market multiples. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $0.8 billion. Of the $0.8 billion of GECAS goodwill, $0.7 billion arose from the acquisition of Milestone Aviation, our helicopter leasing business, in 2015.
Additionally, the related market volatility resulted in higher credit spreads on the investment securities held by our run-off insurance business, which resulted in marks and impairments taken in the first quarter
, which partially recovered in the second quarter of 2020
.
As of June 30, 2020, GECAS owned 965 fixed-wing aircraft, of which 17 with a book value of $0.4 billion were available to lease to customers (aircraft on the ground). We test recoverability of each fixed-wing aircraft in our operating lease portfolio at least annually. Additionally, we perform quarterly evaluations in circumstances such as when assets are re-leased or current lease terms have changed.
We will perform our detailed annual portfolio review in the third quarter of 2020, which will incorporate third party appraisal data, updates to all cash flow assumptions as well as evolving market or customer dynamics that we are monitoring. Given the environment, we accelerated our review in the second quarter to focus on leases with higher risk of repossession based on our assessment of customer credit risk default and any unplaced leased assets rolling-off over the next 12 months, which represented approximately 20% of our fixed-wing aircraft operating lease portfolio. This analysis resulted in a pre-tax impairment of $0.3 billion d
uring both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, on our fixed-wing aircraft operating lease portfolio. Pre-tax impairments were insignificant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
The increase in pre-tax impairments was driven by declining cash flow projections of the future collectability of rents on aircraft and engines currently under contract related to market impacts resulting from the pandemic.
We will analyze the remaining portfolio as part of our annual third quarter impairment review process.
Continued deterioration in cash flow projections, including current rents, downtime, release rates and residual assumptions could result in future impairments in the operating lease portfolio.
Based on the resulting pressure on its airline customers, GECAS continues to see elevated deferral requests. As of June 30, 2020, we have received deferral requests (primarily short term in nature) from approximately 80% of our airline customers operating in approximately 64 countries, and have granted approximately 60% of requests. We expect to continue to receive requests for rent deferrals and/or lease restructures from our global airline customers as a result of COVID-19 and related market impacts. An extended disruption of regional or international travel could result in an increase in these types of requests in future periods, which could result in an increase to the trade receivable balance. As GECAS evaluates future lease restructures, there is a risk of lease modifications that could have a material adverse effect on GECAS operations, financial position and cash flows.

Other continuing operations primarily comprised excess interest costs from debt previously allocated to assets that have been sold as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan, preferred stock dividend costs and interest costs not allocated to GE Capital segments, which are driven by GE Capital’s interest allocation process. Interest costs are allocated to GE Capital segments based on the tenor of their assets using the market rate at the time of origination, which differs from the asset profile when the debt was originated. As a result, actual interest expense is higher than interest expense allocated to the remaining GE Capital segments. Substantially all preferred stock dividend costs will become a GE obligation in January 2021. See Note 15 for further information. In addition, we anticipate unallocated interest costs to gradually decline as debt matures and/or is refinanced.

(a) Included non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $877 million, net of $149 million attributable to noncontrolling interest for our Additive reporting unit within Aviation segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
Adjusted total corporate operating costs* excludes gains (losses) on disposals and held for sale businesses, restructuring and other charges including goodwill and unrealized gains (losses). We believe that adjusting corporate costs* to exclude the effects of items that are not closely associated with ongoing corporate operations provides management and investors with a meaningful measure that increases the period-to-period comparability of our ongoing corporate costs.
Unrealized gains (losses) are primarily related to our mark-to-market impact on our Baker Hughes shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, on our Ventures portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and on our Wabtec equity investment for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
For the three months ended
June 30, 2020
, revenues remained relatively flat. Corporate costs decreased by $2.3 billion, primarily due to $1.9 billion of higher net unrealized gains, primarily related to a $1.8 billion mark-to market gain on our Baker Hughes shares in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to $0.1 billion of net unrealized losses related to our equity investment in Wabtec in the second quarter of 2019. Corporate costs also decreased as the result of $0.2 billion of higher net realized gains, primarily due to the nonrecurrence of a $0.1 billion realized loss in the second quarter of 2019, primarily related to our Wabtec investment. These decreases were partially offset by $0.1 billion of higher restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to Aviation, partially offset by lower restructuring costs within Corporate. Goodwill charges were relatively flat year over year. Corporate recognized a $0.7 billion net goodwill impairment charge related to our Aviation segment in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to a $0.7 billion goodwill impairment charge related to our Renewable Energy segment in the second quarter of 2019.
Adjusted total corporate operating costs* decreased by $0.3 billion, primarily due to $0.1 billion of cost reductions in our Digital business, $0.1 billion of lower costs associated with existing EHS matters and $0.1 billion of lower Corporate costs as a result of restructuring and cost reductions actions. Intercompany elimination activity remained flat, reflecting no spare engine sales from our Aviation segment to GECAS business during the second quarter of 2020.
For the six months ended
June 30, 2020
,
revenues decreased by $0.4 billion, primarily as a result of a $0.2 billion decrease in revenue resulting from the sale of our Current business in April 2019, and a $0.2 billion increase in intersegment eliminations. Corporate costs decreased by $8.6 billion, primarily due to $12.3 billion of higher net gains from the sale of our BioPharma business in the first quarter of 2020. This decrease was partly offset by $3.9 billion of higher net unrealized losses primarily related to a $3.9 billion mark-to market impact on our Baker Hughes shares and a $0.1 billion impairment on our Ventures portfolio in the first six months of 2020. Goodwill charges were relatively flat year over year. Corporate recognized a $0.7 billion net goodwill impairment charge related to our Aviation segment in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to a $0.7 billion goodwill impairment charge related to our Renewable Energy segment in the second quarter of 2019.
A
djusted total corporate operating costs* decreased by $0.3 billion, primarily due to $0.2 billion of cost reductions in our Digital business, $0.1 billion of lower costs associated with existing EHS matters and $0.1 billion of lower Corporate costs as a result of restructuring and cost reductions actions, partially offset by $0.1 billion of higher intercompany elimination activity, primarily from project financing investments associated with wind energy projects in our Renewable Energy segment.

CORPORATE ITEMS AND ELIMINATIONS
Although there were no significant impacts in the second quarter related to COVID-19, potential future impacts at Corporate may include, but are not limited to, the increase in our long-term liabilities, primarily for pension and certain environmental obligations, or decrease in asset returns subject to interest rate changes, additional asset impairments driven by overall market conditions, and lower revenue in our Digital operations. See the Critical Accounting Estimates section for further information on pension assumptions.
RESTRUCTURING.
Restructuring actions are an essential component of our cost improvement efforts. Restructuring and other charges relate primarily to workforce reductions, facility exit costs associated with the consolidation of sales, service and manufacturing facilities, the integration of acquisitions, and certain other asset write-downs such as those associated with product line exits. We will continue to closely monitor the economic environment, including the impacts of COVID-19, and expect to undertake further restructuring actions to more closely align our cost structure with earnings and cost reduction goals.

GE interest and other financial charges was unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, as lower debt expense and financing costs on sales of receivables were offset by the nonrecurrence of the June 2019 reversal of accrued interest on tax liabilities due to the completion of the 2012-2013 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit.
The decrease in GE interest and other financial charges for the six months ended June 30, 2020,
was primarily due to lower debt expense and financing costs on sales of receivables, partially offset by the nonrecurrence of the June 2019 reversal of accrued interest on tax liabilities due to the completion of the 2012-2013 IRS audit.
The primary components of GE interest and other financial charges are interest on short- and long-term borrowings and financing costs on sales of receivables. Total GE interest and other financial charges of $0.3 billion and $0.2 billion was recorded at Corporate and $0.1 billion and $0.2 billion was recorded by Industrial segments for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, and $0.5 billion and $0.5 billion was recorded at Corporate and $0.2 billion and $0.4 billion was recorded by Industrial segments for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively
.
The increase in GE Capital interest and other financial charges for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to the loss resulting from the completion of tender offers to purchase debt and higher interest on assumed debt as a result of the repayments of intercompany loans by GE (effectively transferring that interest cost back to GE Capital), partially offset by lower average borrowings balances due to maturities and debt purchases, as well as lower average interest rates due to changes in market rates. The decrease in GE Capital interest and other financial charges for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to lower average borrowings balances due to maturities and debt purchases as well as lower average interest rates due to changes in market rates, partially offset by the loss resulting from the completion of tender offers to purchase debt, as well as higher interest on assumed debt as described above.
CONSOLIDATED INCOME TAXES.
For the three months ended
June 30, 2020
, the consolidated income tax rate was 8.5% compared to 61.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
The consolidated provision (benefit) for income taxes was $(0.2) billion in the three months ended June 30,
2020
and $(0.2) billion in the three months ended June 30,
2019
. The provision was essentially unchanged as the nonrecurrence of a 2019 benefit from the completion of the IRS audit of the 2012-2013 consolidated U.S. income tax returns ($0.4 billion) was offset by the decrease in pre-tax income excluding non-deductible impairment charges ($0.2 billion) and a tax benefit associated with the mark-to-market gain recorded in the second quarter on the remaining interest in Baker Hughes taxed at lower than 21% ($0.1 billion).
The consolidated tax provision (benefit) includes $(0.1) billion and $(0.2) billion for GE (excluding GE Capital) for the three months ended June 30,
2020
and
2019
, respectively.
For the six months ended
June 30, 2020
,
the consolidated income tax rate was (3.3)% compared to (5.0)% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The negative tax rates for 2020 and 2019 reflect tax benefits on pre-tax income.
The consolidated provision (benefit) for income taxes was $(0.1) billion for the six months ended June 30,
2020
and an insignificant amount for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in tax provision was primarily due to the decrease in pre-tax income excluding the gain from the sale of our BioPharma business and non-deductible goodwill impairment charges ($1.7 billion) partially offset by the tax expense associated with the disposition of the BioPharma
business excluding the amount recognized on preparatory steps in 2019 ($1.1 billion) and
the nonrecurrence of a 2019 benefit from the completion of the IRS audit of the 2012-2013 consolidated U.S. income tax returns ($0.4 billion).
The consolidated tax provision (benefit) includes $0.1 billion and $0.1 billion for GE (excluding GE Capital) for the six months ended June 30,
2020
and
2019
, respectively.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
Discontinued operations primarily include our Baker Hughes and Transportation segments, and certain businesses in our GE Capital segment (our mortgage portfolio in Poland and trailing liabilities associated with the sale of our GE Capital businesses). See Note 2 for further financial information regarding our businesses in discontinued operations.
The mortgage portfolio in Poland (Bank BPH) comprises floating rate residential mortgages, 87% of which are indexed to or denominated in foreign currencies (primarily Swiss francs). At June 30, 2020, the total portfolio had a carrying value of $2.4 billion with a 1.64% 90-day delinquency rate and an average loan to value ratio of approximately 67.5%. The portfolio is recorded at fair value less cost to sell, which reflects market yields as well as our best estimate of the effects of ongoing litigation in Poland related to foreign currency-denominated mortgages. Discontinued operations income for the six months ended June 30, 2020, includes the recognition of an insignificant valuation allowance on the carrying value of the portfolio, primarily driven by a higher discount rate as a result of COVID-19 and related market impacts. Future changes in the economic impact of COVID-19, market yields or changes in estimated legal liabilities could result in further losses related to these loans in future reporting periods.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
FINANCIAL POLICY.
We intend to maintain a disciplined financial policy, including maintaining a high cash balance. We are targeting a sustainable long-term credit rating in the Single-A range, achieving a GE Industrial net debt*-to-EBITDA ratio of less than 2.5x and a dividend in line with our peers over time, as well as a less than 4-to-1 debt-to-equity ratio for GE Capital. In addition to net debt*-to-EBITDA, we also evaluate other leverage measures, including gross debt-to-EBITDA, and we will ultimately size our deleveraging actions across a range of measures to ensure we are operating the Company based on a strong balance sheet. We intend to continue to decrease our leverage over time as we navigate this period of uncertainty, although we now expect to achieve our prior targets over a longer period than previously announced.
LIQUIDITY POLICY.
We maintain a strong focus on liquidity and define our liquidity risk tolerance based on sources and uses to maintain a sufficient liquidity position to meet our obligations under both normal and stressed conditions. We intend to maintain a high level of cash and maximize flexibility as we navigate the current environment. At both GE and GE Capital, we manage our liquidity to provide access to sufficient funding to meet our business needs and financial obligations, as well as capital allocation and growth objectives, throughout business cycles.
We believe that our consolidated liquidity and availability under our revolving credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs
.

Cash held in non-U.S. entities has generally been reinvested in active foreign business operations; however, substantially all of our unrepatriated earnings were subject to U.S. federal tax and, if there is a change in reinvestment, we would expect to be able to repatriate available cash (excluding amounts held in countries with currency controls) without additional federal tax cost. Any foreign withholding tax on a repatriation to the U.S. would potentially be partially offset by a U.S. foreign tax credit.
GE LIQUIDITY.
GE's primary sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents, free cash flows from our operating businesses, monetization of receivables, proceeds from dispositions, and short-term borrowing facilities,
including a commercial paper program and revolving credit facilities.
Cash generation can be subject to variability based on many factors, including seasonality, receipt of down payments on large equipment orders, timing of billings on long-term contracts,
market conditions
and our ability to execute dispositions. Additionally, we expect an orderly sale over time of our remaining stake in Baker Hughes.
GE cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $25.4 billion at June 30, 2020, including $2.1 billion of cash held in countries with currency control restrictions and $0.9 billion of restricted use cash. Cash held in countries with currency controls represents amounts held in countries which may restrict the transfer of funds to the U.S. or limit our ability to transfer funds to the U.S. without incurring substantial costs. Restricted use cash represents amounts that are not available to fund operations, and primarily comprised collateral for receivables sold and funds restricted in connection with certain ongoing litigation matters.
GE CAPITAL LIQUIDITY.
GE Capital’s primary sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from asset sales and cash flows from our businesses,
as well as GE repayments of intercompany loans and capital contributions from GE
. We expect to maintain a sufficient liquidity position to fund our insurance obligations and debt maturities. See the Segment Operations - Capital section for further information regarding allocation of GE Capital interest expense to the GE Capital businesses.
GE Capital cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaled $16.0 billion at June 30, 2020, including $1.2 billion which was subject to regulatory restrictions, primarily in insurance entities.
GE Capital provided capital contributions to its insurance subsidiaries of $2.0 billion, $1.9 billion and $3.5 billion in the first quarters of 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and expects to provide further capital contributions of
approximately $7 billion through 2024.
These contributions are subject to ongoing monitoring by Kansas Insurance Department (KID), and the total amount to be contributed could increase or decrease, or the timing could be accelerated, based upon the results of reserve adequacy testing or a decision by KID to modify the schedule of contributions set forth in January 2018. We will continue to monitor the volatile interest rate environment, including the impact of reinvestment rates and our investment portfolio performance, and other factors in determining the related effect on our expected future capital contributions. See the Critical Accounting Estimates section for discussion of the sensitivity of interest rate changes to our insurance liabilities. GE maintains specified capital levels at these insurance subsidiaries under capital maintenance agreements. Going forward, we anticipate funding any capital needs for insurance through a combination of GE Capital liquidity, GE Capital asset sales, GE Capital future earnings and capital contributions from GE.
BORROWINGS.
Consolidated
total borrowings were $81.9 billion and $90.9 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. See the following table for a summary of GE and GE Capital borrowings.

Consolidated borrowings of $81.9 billion and $90.9 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, included eliminations of $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, of other GE borrowings from GE Capital, primarily related to timing of cash settlements associated with GE receivables monetization programs.
The reduction in GE adjusted borrowings at June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 was driven primarily by $7.5 billion of repayments of intercompany loans from GE Capital, debt repurchases of $4.2 billion, lower commercial paper of $2.5 billion, and net repayments and maturities of other debt of $1.1 billion, partially offset by issuances of new long-term debt of $7.5 billion.
The reduction in GE Capital adjusted borrowings at June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 was driven primarily by debt repurchases of $9.8 billion, debt maturities of $5.5 billion and lower nonrecourse borrowings of $1.3 billion, partially offset by repayments of intercompany loans from GE of $7.5 billion (which has the effect of increasing GE Capital borrowings), issuances of new long-term debt of $6.0 billion, and $1.8 billion primarily related to fair value adjustments for debt in fair value hedge relationships and changes in foreign exchange rates.
GE Industrial net debt* was $34.0 billion and $47.9 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The reduction was driven primarily by $7.5 billion of repayments of intercompany loans from GE Capital, the repurchase of $4.2 billion of debt, a reduction in commercial paper of $2.5 billion, net repayments and maturities of other debt of $1.1 billion, and a higher ending cash balance, partially offset by new issuances of $7.5 billion of long-term debt.
Liability Management Actions.
In the second quarter of 2020, we took a series of actions to enhance and extend our liquidity at both GE and GE Capital, issuing a total of $13.5 billion of longer-dated debt and reducing near-term debt maturities by $10.5 billion, with the remaining $3 billion to be leverage neutral by the end 2021. See below for details of these actions.
GE issued a total of $7.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes ($6.0 billion in April 2020 and $1.5 billion in June 2020), comprising $1.0 billion due 2027, $1.25 billion due 2030, $1.5 billion due 2040, and $3.75 billion due 2050. GE used these proceeds to complete a tender offer to purchase $4.2 billion of GE senior notes with maturities ranging from 2020 to 2024, to reduce commercial paper and other debt by $1.8 billion, and to repay $1.5 billion of intercompany loans to GE Capital in June 2020. These transactions were leverage neutral within the quarter and liquidity enhancing through the extension of our near-team industrial debt maturities.
GE Capital issued a total of $6.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes ($4.5 billion in May 2020 and $1.5 billion in June 2020) and used the proceeds to complete a tender offer to purchase a total of $4.4 billion of debt with maturities from 2021 through 2023. GE Capital also received an additional $1.5 billion of proceeds from repayments of intercompany loans from GE as part of the June debt issuance. GE Capital expects to use the remaining $3 billion of net proceeds from these actions primarily to fund long-term debt maturing in 2021, and accordingly these actions are expected to be leverage neutral by the end of 2021.

As part of our ordinary course refinancing processes, on April 17, 2020, we refinanced our unused back-up revolving syndicated credit facility. In connection with the refinancing, we terminated the unused $20.0 billion back-up revolving syndicated credit facility and entered into a new $15.0 billion back-up revolving syndicated credit facility, expiring in April 2023. This facility does not contain any offset provisions.
Under the terms of an agreement between GE Capital and GE, GE Capital has the right to compel GE to borrow under the $15.0 billion unused back-up revolving syndicated credit facility. Under this agreement, GE would transfer the proceeds to GE Capital as intercompany loans, which would be subject to the same terms and conditions as those between GE and the lending banks. GE Capital has not exercised this right.
The closing of the new $15.0 billion facility also terminated the $14.8 billion unused revolving syndicated credit facility that was scheduled to mature in December 2020, which had an aggregate revolving commitment amount of $4.2 billion effective April 14, 2020, following the sale of the BioPharma business within our Healthcare segment.
The following table provides a summary of the activity in the primary external sources of short-term borrowings for GE in the second quarters of 2020 and 2019. GE uses bilateral revolving credit facilities from time to time to meet its short-term liquidity needs.

CREDIT RATINGS AND CONDITIONS.
We have relied, and may continue to rely, on the short- and long-term debt capital markets to fund, among other things, a significant portion of our operations. The cost and availability of debt financing is influenced by our credit ratings. Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s), Standard and Poor’s Global Ratings (S&P), and Fitch Ratings (Fitch) currently issue ratings on GE and GE Capital short- and long-term debt. The credit ratings of GE and GE Capital as of the date of this filing are set forth in the table below.

The timing within the quarter of the potential liquidity impact of these areas may differ, as described in the following sections which provide additional details regarding the significant credit rating conditions of the Company.
DEBT CONDITIONS.
Substantially
all debt agreements in place at June 30, 2020 do not contain material credit rating covenants. GE’s unused back-up revolving syndicated credit facility and certain of our bilateral revolving credit facilities contain a customary net debt-to-EBITDA financial covenant which GE has met at June 30, 2020.
DERIVATIVE CONDITIONS.
Swap, forward and option contracts are executed under standard master agreements that typically contain mutual downgrade provisions that provide the ability of the counterparty to require termination if the credit ratings of the applicable GE entity were to fall below specified ratings levels agreed upon with the counterparty, primarily BBB/Baa2. Our master agreements also typically contain provisions that provide termination rights upon the occurrence of certain other events, such as a bankruptcy or events of default by one of the parties. If an agreement was terminated under any of these circumstances, the termination amount payable would be determined on a net basis and could also take into account any collateral posted. The net amount of our derivative liability subject to such termination provisions, after consideration of collateral posted by us and outstanding interest payments was $0.3 billion at June 30, 2020. This excludes exposure related to embedded derivatives, which are not subject to these provisions.
In addition, certain of our derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, are subject to additional cash margin posting requirements if our credit ratings were to fall below BBB/Baa2. The amount of additional margin will vary based on, among other factors, market movements and changes in our positions. At June 30, 2020, the amount of additional margin that we could be required to post if we fell below these ratings levels was approximately $0.9 billion.
See Note 17 for further information about our risk exposures, our use of derivatives, and the effects of this activity on our financial statements.
OTHER CONDITIONS.
Where we provide servicing for third-party investors under one of our receivable sales programs, GE is contractually permitted to commingle cash collected from customers on financing receivables sold to third-party investors with our own cash prior to payment to third-party investors, provided our short-term credit rating does not fall below
A-2/P-2 (this program does not contain any Fitch ratings requirements)
. In the event any of our ratings were to fall below such levels, we may be required to segregate certain of these cash collections owed to third-party investors into restricted bank accounts and would lose the short-term liquidity benefit of commingling with respect to such collections. The financial impact to our intra-quarter liquidity would vary based on collections activity for a given quarter and may result in increased utilization of our revolving credit facilities. The loss of cash commingling would have resulted in an estimated maximum reduction of approximately $0.2 billion to GE intra-quarter liquidity during the first quarter of 2020.
We have relied, and may continue to rely, on securitization programs to provide alternative funding for sales of GE receivables to third-party investors. In the event our short-term credit ratings were to fall below
certain levels
, we
would not be permitted to commingle certain cash received related to sales of receivables at the end of the quarter
.
The Fitch downgrade in the second quarter of 2020 resulted in GE classifying $0.4 billion as restricted cash at June 30, 2020. The amount of cash that GE Capital would have been required to classify as restricted cash if our credit ratings had fallen below A-2/P-2 was approximately $0.5 billion at June 30, 2020.
In conjunction with ordinary course commercial transactions and certain regulatory requirements, the Company may periodically enter into agreements that require us to post surety bonds to counterparties. In the first quarter of 2020, we entered into amendments to our agreements with certain of our surety bond providers that may require us to post cash collateral in the event our credit ratings were to fall below BBB-/Baa3. At June 30, 2020, the maximum amount of cash collateral we could be required to post if we fell below these levels was approximately $0.8 billion.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
As a result of our global operations, we generate and incur a significant portion of our revenues and expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Such principal currencies include the euro, the pound sterling, the Brazilian real and the Chinese renminbi, among others. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations on earnings, excluding the earnings impact of the underlying hedged item, was less than $0.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and less than $0.1 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. This analysis excludes any offsetting effect from the forecasted future transactions that are economically hedged.
See Note 17 for further information about our risk exposures, our use of derivatives, and the effects of this activity on our financial statements.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS – SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 VERSUS 2019.
We manage the cash flow performance of our industrial and financial services businesses separately, in order to enable us and our investors to evaluate the cash from operating activities of our industrial businesses separately from the cash flows of our financial services business.
See the Intercompany Transactions between GE and GE Capital section and Notes 4 and 20 for further information regarding certain transactions affecting our consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
GE CASH FLOWS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS.
The most significant source of cash in GE CFOA is customer-related activities, the largest of which is collecting cash resulting from product or services sales. The most significant operating use of cash is to pay our suppliers, employees, tax authorities, contribute to post retirement plans and pay others for a wide range of material, services and taxes.
GE cash used for operating activities
was $3.3 billion in 2020, an increase of $2.2 billion compared with 2019, primarily due to: a general decrease in net income (after adjusting for the gain on the sale of BioPharma and non-cash losses related to our interest in Baker Hughes), primarily due to COVID-19 impacts in our Aviation segment; and an increase in cash used for working capital of $1.8 billion; partially offset by changes in contract and other deferred assets of $1.0 billion, primarily due a net unfavorable change in estimated profitability of $0.8 billion at Aviation (See Note 10); an increase in cash from All other operating activities of $1.2 billion (primarily due to an increase in Aviation-related customer allowance accruals of $0.6 billion and an increase in equipment project cost accruals of $0.3 billion); and a decrease in cash paid for income taxes of $0.4 billion.
Cash used for employee benefit liabilities (which is a component of All other operating activities) of $0.8 billion during 2020 remained relatively flat compared with 2019. We also utilized the provision of the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) which allows employers to defer the payment of Social Security taxes and, as a result, we deferred $0.1 billion in the second quarter of 2020. We may choose to defer further Social Security taxes through the second half of 2020, in accordance with the CARES Act.
The increase in cash used for working capital was due to: an increase in cash used for accounts payable of $3.8 billion, which was primarily as a result of lower volume in 2020 and disbursements related to purchases of materials in prior periods, partially offset by the deferral of some payables; and higher net utilizations of progress collections of $0.8 billion, which included a partial offset due to early payments received at our Aviation Military equipment business of $0.7 billion in the second quarter of 2020 as part of the U.S. Department of Defense's efforts to support vendors in its supply chain during the pandemic. These increases in cash used for working capital were partially offset by an increase in cash generated from current receivables of $1.7 billion, which was primarily driven by lower volume, partially offset by a higher decrease in sales of receivables; and a decrease in cash used for inventories of $1.1 billion, which was primarily driven by lower material purchases, partially offset by lower liquidations.
GE cash from investing activities
was $19.7 billion in 2020, an increase of $17.1 billion compared with 2019, primarily due to: net proceeds from the sale of our BioPharma business of $20.4 billion; the nonrecurrence of a capital contribution from GE to GE Capital of $1.5 billion in 2019; partially offset by the nonrecurrence of proceeds of $2.8 billion from the 2019 spin-off of our Transportation business and $1.8 billion from the sale of our retained ownership interests in Wabtec. Cash used for additions to property, plant and equipment and internal-use software, which is a component of GE Industrial free cash flows*, was $1.1 billion in 2020, down $0.2 billion compared with 2019.
GE cash used for financing activities
was $8.5 billion in 2020, an increase of $7.2 billion compared with 2019, primarily due to: the repayment of intercompany loans from GE Capital to GE of $7.5 billion; completion of a tender offer to purchase GE long-term debt of $4.2 billion; a reduction in commercial paper of $2.5 billion; partially offset by new principal issuances of long-term debt of $7.5 billion in the second quarter of 2020.
GE CASH FLOWS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.
GE cash used for investing activities of discontinued operations in 2019 primarily reflects investing outflows related to Baker Hugues, prior to our disposition of the segment in the third quarter of 2019. GE cash used for financing activities of discontinued operations in 2019 primarily reflects payments of Baker Hughes dividends to noncontrolling interests.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
GE CAPITAL CASH FLOWS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS. GE Capital cash from operating activities
was $1.0 billion in 2020, a decrease of $0.3 billion compared with 2019, primarily due to: an increase in trade receivables due to short-term extensions of payment terms to customers of $0.3 billion driven primarily by COVID-19 and other market related effects and a general decrease in cash generated from earnings (loss) from continuing operations; partially offset by a net increase in cash collateral received and settlements paid from counterparties on derivative contracts of $0.5 billion.
GE Capital cash from investing activities
was $7.5 billion in 2020, an increase of $6.7 billion compared with 2019, primarily due to: the repayment of GE Capital intercompany loans by GE of $7.5 billion and an increase in cash received related to net settlements between our continuing operations (primarily our Corporate function) and businesses in discontinued operations (primarily WMC) of $1.9 billion; partially offset by lower collections of financing receivables of $2.0 billion and a decrease of GECAS sales deposits of $1.0 billion primarily driven by COVID-19 and other market related effects.
GE Capital cash used for financing activities
was $11.3 billion in 2020, an increase of $6.5 billion compared with 2019, primarily due to: higher net repayments of borrowings of $5.4 billion and the nonrecurrence of a capital contribution from GE to GE Capital in 2019 of $1.5 billion; partially offset by lower cash settlements on derivatives hedging foreign currency debt of $0.2 billion.
GE WORKING CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS. Sales of Receivables.
In order to manage short-term liquidity and credit exposure, GE may sell current customer receivables to GE Capital and other third parties. These transactions are made on arm's length terms and any discount related to time value of money, is recognized within the respective GE Industrial business in the period these receivables were sold to GE Capital or third parties. See Note 4 for further information.
Supply Chain Finance Programs
. GE facilitates voluntary supply chain finance programs with third parties which provide participating GE suppliers the opportunity to sell their GE receivables to third parties at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the third parties.
At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, included in GE's accounts payable was $
2.4
billion of supplier invoices that are subject to the third-party programs. Total GE supplier invoices paid through these third-party programs were
$2.5
billion and $0.4 billion for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The GE liability associated with the funded participation in the GE Capital program is presented as accounts payable and amounted to $
0.7
billion and $2.1 billion at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
INTERCOMPANY TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN GE AND GE CAPITAL.
Transactions between related companies are made on arm's length terms and are reported in the GE and GE Capital columns of our financial statements, which we believe provide useful supplemental information to our consolidated financial statements. See Note 20 for further information.
GE Capital Finance Transactions.
During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, GE Capital acquired from third parties
five
aircraft with a list price totaling $
0.6
billion and
28
aircraft with a list price totaling $
3.5
billion, respectively, that will be leased to others and are powered by engines manufactured by GE Aviation and affiliates. GE Capital also made payments to GE Aviation and affiliates related to spare engines and engine parts of
$0.1
billion and $
0.2
billion, which included
$0.1
billion and
$0.1
billion to CFM International during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively. Additionally, GE Capital had $
2.2
billion and $
2.0
billion of net book value of engines, originally manufactured by GE Aviation and affiliates and subsequently leased back to GE Aviation and affiliates at
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, respectively. There were no spare engine sales from our Aviation segment to our GECAS business in the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Also, during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, GE recognized equipment revenues of $
1.2
billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, from customers within our Power and Renewable Energy segments in which GE Capital is an investee or is committed to be an investee in the underlying projects.
For certain of these investments, in order to meet its underwriting criteria, GE Capital may obtain a direct guarantee from GE related to the performance of the third party. GE guarantees include direct performance or payment guarantees, return on investment guarantees and asset value guarantees. As of
June 30, 2020
, GE had outstanding guarantees to GE Capital on $
0.9
billion of funded exposure and $
0.8
billion of unfunded commitments, which included guarantees issued by industrial businesses. The recorded contingent liability for these guarantees was insignificant as of
June 30, 2020
and is based on individual transaction level defaults, losses and/or returns.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.
Please refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Other Items sections within MD&A and Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 for a further discussion of our accounting policies and critical accounting estimates. COVID-19 related market events may have an effect on our Insurance business and pension assumptions.
INSURANCE AND INVESTMENT CONTRACTS.
At June 30, 2020, our insurance liabilities and annuity benefits of $41.0 billion are primarily supported by investment securities of $40.6 billion and commercial mortgage loans of $1.9 billion, net of their allowance for losses, respectively.
Future policy benefit reserves.
Future changes in the discount rate assumption used in our annual premium deficiency testing performed in the third quarter across our run-off insurance portfolio may be required. A lower discount rate, holding all other assumptions constant, will result in an increase in our future policy benefit reserves on a GAAP basis. Furthermore, a lower discount rate may be required under statutory asset adequacy testing that is relevant for determining the amount of capital to be contributed to our insurance subsidiaries.
Our GAAP discount rate is based upon the actual yields on our investment portfolio and our forecasted reinvestment rates, which comprise the future rates at which we expect to invest proceeds from investment maturities, net of operating cash flows, and projected future capital contributions. Although the movement in market rates impacts the reinvestment rate, it does not materially impact the actual yield on our existing investments. While credit spreads on fixed-income securities widened during the first half of 2020, benchmark interest rates in the U.S. have declined which may impact other discount rate assumptions, including the period over which the reinvestment rate increases to the expected long-term average investment yield and the expected long-term average investment yield (including changes to expected default rates). Furthermore, expected returns on higher yielding asset classes may change.
For further information on our future policy benefit reserves assumptions, refer to the GAAP Reserve Sensitivities included in Other Items within MD&A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Investments.
Our investment security portfolio may experience higher gross unrealized losses, downgrades in credit ratings and higher default rates and result in an increase to the allowance for losses on assets supporting our insurance liabilities. See Note 3 for further information about our investment securities.
PENSION ASSUMPTIONS.
As discussed in Critical Accounting Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our defined benefit pension plans are accounted for on an actuarial basis and measured annually. During the first half of 2020, financial markets and interest rates have experienced volatility, which could result in a change in the discount rate used to measure our pension benefit obligation or our pension assets may realize less than our expected long-term rate of return, either of which could result in a material change in the funded status of our pension plans when we measure them at December 31, 2020. Our discount rate is determined using the weighted average of market-observed yields for high-quality fixed income securities with maturities that correspond to the payments of benefits and while benchmark interest rates in the U.S. have been lowered credit spreads on high-quality fixed incomes securities have widened.
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, changes in key assumptions for our principal pension plans would have the following effects.
•
Discount rate - A 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate would increase pension cost in the following year by about $0.2 billion and would increase the pension benefit obligation by about $2.3 billion.
•
Expected return on assets - A 50 basis point decrease in the expected return on assets would increase pension cost in the following year by about $0.3 billion.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-12,
Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944)
: Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts with an effective date for periods beginning after December 31, 2021, with an election to adopt early. In July 2020, the FASB proposed, subject to comment, to delay adoption to periods beginning after December 15, 2022. We are evaluating the effect of the standard on our consolidated financial statements and anticipate that its adoption will significantly change the accounting for measurements of our long-duration insurance liabilities. The ASU requires cash flow assumptions used in the measurement of various insurance liabilities to be reviewed at least annually and updated if actual experience or other evidence indicates previous assumptions need to be revised with any required changes recorded in earnings. Under the current accounting guidance, the discount rate is based on expected investment yields, while under the ASU the discount rate will be equivalent to the upper-medium grade (i.e., single A) fixed-income instrument yield reflecting the duration characteristics of the liability and is required to be updated in each reporting period with changes recorded in other comprehensive income. In measuring the insurance liabilities under the new standard, contracts shall not be grouped together from different issue years. These changes result in the elimination of premium deficiency testing and shadow adjustments. While we continue to evaluate the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting, we anticipate that the adoption of the ASU will materially affect our financial statements. As the ASU is only applicable to the measurements of our long-duration insurance liabilities under GAAP, it will not affect the accounting for our insurance reserves or the levels of capital and surplus under statutory accounting practices.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES.
We believe that presenting non-GAAP financial measures provides management and investors useful measures to evaluate performance and trends of the total company and its businesses.
This includes adjustments in recent periods to GAAP financial measures to increase period-to-period comparability following actions to strengthen our overall financial position and how we manage our business.
In addition, management recognizes that certain non-GAAP terms may be interpreted differently by other companies under different circumstances. In various sections of this report we have made reference to the following non-GAAP financial measures in describing our (1) revenues, specifically GE Industrial organic revenues by segment; BioPharma organic revenues, GE Industrial organic revenues, and GE Industrial equipment and services organic revenues (2) profit, specifically GE Industrial organic profit and profit margin by segment; BioPharma organic profit and profit margin, Adjusted GE Industrial profit and profit margin (excluding certain items); Adjusted GE Industrial organic profit and profit margin; Adjusted earnings (loss); and Adjusted earnings (loss) per share (EPS), (3) cash flows, specifically GE Industrial free cash flows (FCF), and (4) debt balances, specifically GE Industrial net debt.
The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow.

We believe these measures provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, as these activities can obscure underlying trends. We also believe presenting organic revenues* and organic profit* separately for our industrial businesses provides management and investors with useful information about the trends of our industrial businesses and enables a more direct comparison to other non-financial companies.

(a) Dispositions impact in 2019 primarily related to our BioPharma business, with revenues of $831 million, Middle River and Hamble site dispositions, with revenues of $125 million and $101 million, respectively, and Current within our Corporate segment, with revenues of $155 million.
(b) Foreign currency impact in 2019 is primarily driven by U.S. Dollar appreciation against Euro, Brazilian Real and Chinese Yen.
We believe these measures provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, as these activities can obscure underlying trends.

Earnings-per-share amounts are computed independently. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total.
The service cost for our pension and other benefit plans are included in adjusted earnings*, which represents the ongoing cost of providing pension benefits to our employees. The components of non-operating benefit costs are mainly driven by capital allocation decisions and market performance. We believe the retained costs in Adjusted earnings* and Adjusted EPS* provides management and investors a useful measure to evaluate the performance of the total company and increases period-to-period comparability. We also use Adjusted EPS* as a performance metric at the company level for our annual executive incentive plan for 2020. We believe presenting Adjusted Industrial earnings* and Adjusted Industrial EPS* separately for our financial services businesses also provides management and investors with useful information about the relative size of our industrial and financial services businesses in relation to the total company.

OTHER
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that (i) our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
June 30, 2020
, and (ii) no change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended
June 30, 2020
, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
OTHER FINANCIAL DATA.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2020,
GE repurchased 500 thousand shares of common stock at an average price of $30.61, in connection with the settlement of a hedging instrument related to the Company’s deferred incentive compensation program.
RISK FACTORS.
The risk factor set forth below updates the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. These risk factors could materially affect our business, financial position and results of operations.
The global COVID-19 pandemic is having a material adverse impact on our operations and financial performance, as well as on the operations and financial performance of many of the customers and suppliers in industries that we serve. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will continue to adversely impact our business operations, financial performance, results of operations, financial position and the achievement of our strategic objectives.
Our operations and financial performance have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, the global slowdown of economic activity (including the decrease in demand for a broad variety of goods and services), disruptions in global supply chains and significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict, the pandemic’s impact on our operations and financial performance, as well as its impact on our ability to successfully execute our business strategies and initiatives, remains uncertain and difficult to predict. Further, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance depends on many factors that are not within our control, including, but not limited, to: governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic (including restrictions on or propensity to travel and workforce pressures); the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response on global and regional economies, travel, and economic activity; the availability of federal, state, local or non-U.S. funding programs; general economic uncertainty in key global markets and financial market volatility; global economic conditions and levels of economic growth; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected our operations, financial performance and financial condition to a number of risks, including, but not limited to those discussed below:
Operations-related risks:
Across all of our businesses, we are facing increased operational challenges from the need to protect employee health and safety, the need to shut down sites, workplace disruptions and restrictions on the movement of people, raw materials and goods, both at our own facilities and at those of our customers and suppliers. We are also experiencing, and expect to continue experiencing, lower demand and volume for products and services contributing to decreases in orders and backlog, customer requests for potential payment deferrals or other contract modifications, supply chain under-liquidation, delays of deliveries and the achievement of other billing milestones, delays or cancellations of new projects and related down payments and other factors related directly and indirectly to the COVID-19 pandemic that adversely impact our businesses. While we have been taking a number of cost and cash management actions in response to these dynamics, our ability to offset or mitigate the adverse impacts related to COVID-19 is limited. We expect that the longer the period of economic and global supply chain and disruption continues, the more material the adverse impact will be on our business operations, financial performance and results of operations, and this could include additional charges, goodwill or other asset impairments and other adverse financial impacts in future periods.
Customer-related risks:
In particular, the interruption of regional and international air travel from COVID-19 has resulted in a severe decline of business and leisure traffic and is having a material adverse effect on our airline and airframer customers, the viability of their businesses and their demand for our services and products. Changes in passenger air travel trends arising from COVID-19 may continue to develop or persist over time and further contribute to this adverse effect. We are also observing a significant increase in the number of requests for payment deferrals, contract modifications, aircraft lease restructurings and similar actions across the aviation sector, and these trends may lead to future charges, goodwill or other asset impairments and other material adverse financial impacts at GE Aviation and GE Capital Aviation Services over time, in addition to the charges described in this report that we recognized during the second quarter of 2020. We have depended on the strength of our Aviation business as we have been working to improve the operations and execution of other GE businesses and strengthen the company’s balance sheet. As a result, disruption of the aviation industry, which could continue for an uncertain period of time, is particularly significant for GE. Across our businesses, to varying degrees, we anticipate that some existing or potential customers will continue to delay or cancel plans to purchase our products and services, or may not be able to fulfill prior obligations in a timely fashion, as a result of ongoing effects related to the COVID-19 pandemic and adverse economic conditions more broadly.

2020 2Q FORM 10-Q
RISK FACTORS
Leverage- and market-related risks:
The current financial market dynamics and volatility pose heightened risks to our timelines for decreasing our leverage, and we now expect to achieve our prior targets over a longer period than previously announced as we seek to maintain appropriate liquidity to compensate for lower (or negative) cash flows from operations or as variables impacting our leverage ratios fluctuate with extreme market volatility. For example, lower discount rates and lower asset valuations at the time of remeasurement can materially impact the calculation of long-term liabilities such as our pension deficit, GAAP insurance reserve and insurance statutory calculations. In addition, extreme volatility in financial and commodities markets has had and may continue to have adverse impacts on other asset valuations such as the market value of our remaining equity interest in Baker Hughes and the value of the investment portfolios supporting our pension and long-term insurance liabilities. Our long-term liabilities are sensitive to numerous factors and assumptions that can move in offsetting directions and should be considered as of the time of a relevant measurement event.
Liquidity- and funding-related risks:
While we have significant sources of cash and liquidity and access to committed credit lines, a prolonged period of generating lower (or negative) cash flows from operations could adversely affect our financial condition and the achievement of our strategic objectives. As previously reported, in April 2020, Moody's and S&P changed their credit rating outlooks for GE and GE Capital from Stable to Negative, and Fitch lowered its credit ratings for GE and GE Capital. There can also be no assurance that we will not face additional credit rating downgrades as a result of weaker than anticipated performance of our businesses, slower progress in decreasing our leverage or other factors. Future downgrades could further adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets, and a significant downgrade could have an adverse commercial impact on our industrial businesses. Conditions in the financial and credit markets may also limit the availability of funding or increase the cost of funding (including for receivables monetization or supply chain finance programs), which could adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations. Although the U.S. federal and other governments have announced a number of lending programs to support businesses, our ability or willingness to access funding under such programs may be limited by regulations or other guidance, or by further change or uncertainty related to the terms of these programs.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to adversely affect our operating and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In particular, see the risk factors regarding “Global macro-environment,” “Supply chain,” “Leverage and borrowings,” “Liquidity” and “Economy, customers & counterparties," as updated by the information in this risk factor. Refer also to the Critical Accounting Estimates section for additional details about how COVID-19 related market events may affect our insurance business and pension assumptions, and to Note 8 for additional details about goodwill and reporting units that we are continuing to monitor for impairment. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not expect to present significant risks to our operations or financial results.

2020 2Q FORM 10-Q
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
We present our financial statements in a three-column format, which allows investors to see our GE industrial operations separately from our financial services operations. We believe that this provides useful supplemental information to our consolidated financial statements. To the extent that we have transactions between GE and GE Capital, these transactions are made on arm's length terms, are reported in the respective columns of our financial statements and are eliminated in consolidation. See Note 20 for further information.
Our financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires us to make estimates based on assumptions about current and, for some estimates, future economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in our financial statements. Although our current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial position. In particular, a number of estimates have been and will continue to be affected by the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The severity, magnitude and duration, as well as the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As a result, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to COVID-19. Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangibles, long-lived assets and investment securities, revisions to estimated profitability on long-term product service agreements, incremental credit losses on receivables and debt securities, a decrease in the carrying amount of our tax assets, or an increase in our insurance liabilities and pension obligations as of the time of a relevant measurement event.
In preparing our Statement of Cash Flows, we make certain adjustments to reflect cash flows that cannot otherwise be calculated by changes in our Statement of Financial Position. These adjustments may include, but are not limited to, the effects of currency exchange, acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, businesses classified as held for sale, the timing of settlements to suppliers for property, plant and equipment, non-cash gains/losses and other balance sheet reclassifications.
We have reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to the current-period’s presentation. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions. Earnings per share amounts are computed independently for earnings from continuing operations, earnings from discontinued operations and net earnings. As a result, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Certain of our operations have been presented as discontinued. We present businesses whose disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on our operations and financial results as discontinued operations when the components meet the criteria for held for sale, are sold, or spun-off. See Note 2 for further information.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes are unaudited. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of our aforementioned Annual Report. We include herein certain updates to those policies.
Allowance for credit losses.
When we record customer receivables, contract assets and financing receivables arising from revenue transactions, as well as commercial mortgage loans and reinsurance recoverables in GE Capital’s run-off insurance operations, financial guarantees and certain commitments, we record an allowance for credit losses for the current expected credit losses (CECL) inherent in the asset over its expected life. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account deducted from the amortized cost basis of the assets to present their net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. Each period the allowance for credit losses is adjusted through earnings to reflect expected credit losses over the remaining lives of the assets. We evaluate debt securities with unrealized losses to determine whether any of the losses arise from concerns about the issuer’s credit or the underlying collateral and record an allowance for credit losses, if required.
We estimate expected credit losses based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. When measuring expected credit losses, we pool assets with similar country risk and credit risk characteristics. Changes in the relevant information may significantly affect the estimates of expected credit losses.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES.
On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASU 2016-13)
. ASU 2016-13 requires us to prospectively record an allowance for credit losses for the current expected credit losses inherent in the asset over its expected life, replacing the incurred loss model that recognized losses only when they became probable and estimable. We recorded a
$
221
million
increase in our allowance for credit losses and a
$
175
million
decrease to retained earnings, net of tax, reflecting the cumulative effect on retained earnings.
In March 2020, the SEC issued a final rule amending disclosure requirements for guarantors and issuers of registered guaranteed securities under SEC Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10. The final rule is effective for filings on or after January 4, 2021, however early application is permitted. As a result of the simplification provided by this rule, beginning with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2020, we have elected to early adopt the disclosure requirements.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2. BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE.
On March 31, 2020, we completed the sale of our BioPharma business within our Healthcare segment for total consideration of $
21,149
million
(after certain working capital adjustments).
The consideration consisted of
$
20,732
million
in cash and
$
417
million
of pension liabilities that were assumed by Danaher.
In addition, we incurred
$
154
million
of cash payments directly associated with the transaction in the second quarter. As a result, we recognized a pre-tax gain of
$
12,341
million
(
$
11,199
million
after tax)
in our consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss).
In the first half of 2020, we sold all our remaining businesses classified as held for sale, including the remaining Lighting business within our Corporate segment and the remaining PK AirFinance business within our Capital segment.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
.
Discontinued operations primarily include our Baker Hughes and Transportation segments, and certain businesses in our GE Capital segment (our mortgage portfolio in Poland and trailing liabilities associated with the sale of our GE Capital businesses). Results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
In September 2019, we reduced our ownership interest in Baker Hughes from
50.2
%
to
36.8
%
and reclassified its results to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
We have continuing involvement with Baker Hughes (BKR) primarily through our remaining interest, ongoing purchases and sales of products and services, transition services that we provide to BKR, as well as an aeroderivative joint venture (JV) we formed with BKR in the fourth quarter of 2019.
The JV is jointly controlled by GE and BKR and is consolidated by GE due to the significance of our investment in BKR. Our Aviation segment sells products and services to the JV. In turn, the JV sells products and services primarily to BKR and our Power segment. Transactions between the JV and GE businesses are eliminated in consolidation. In the first half of 2020, we had sales of
$
252
million
to BKR for products and services from the JV and we collected cash of
$
225
million
. If our investment in BKR is reduced to below
20%
, we would no longer have significant influence in BKR and, as a result, we would not consolidate the JV. A potential deconsolidation of the JV is not expected to have a material impact on GE Industrial free cash flows.
In addition, in the first half of 2020, we had sales of
$
265
million
and purchases of
$
101
million
with BKR for products and services outside of the JV. We collected net cash of
$
451
million
from BKR related to sales, purchases and transition services. In addition, we received
$
130
million
of repayments on the promissory note receivable from BKR and dividends of
$
136
million
on our investment.
In February 2019, we completed the spin-off and subsequent merger of our Transportation business with Wabtec.
As a result, we recorded a gain of
$
3,471
million
(
$
2,508
million
after-tax) in discontinued operations.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The amortized cost of debt securities as of June 30, 2020, excludes accrued interest of
$
413
million
, which is reported in Other GE Capital receivables.
The estimated fair values of investment securities at June 30, 2020 decreased since December 31, 2019, primarily due to the mark-to-market effects on our remaining interest in BKR, partially offset by a decrease in market yields and new investments in our insurance business. The fair value of the remaining BKR interest
and promissory note receivable was
$
5,910
million
at June 30, 2020.
Gross unrealized losses of
$(
271
) million
and
$(
29
) million
are associated with debt securities with a fair value of
$
3,066
million
and
$
168
million
that have been in a loss position for less than 12 months and 12 months or more, respectively, at June 30, 2020. Gross unrealized losses of

Substantially all of our CMBS in an unrealized loss position have received investment-grade credit ratings from the major rating agencies and are collateralized by pools of commercial mortgage loans on real estate.
Net unrealized gains (losses) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values, which are recorded in Other income within continuing operations, were

as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. During 2020, CFM and Boeing reached an agreement to secure payment terms for engines delivered in 2019 and 2020, net of progress collections. Based on the agreement, the receivable is expected to be collected from Boeing through the first quarter of 2021.
(b)
Includes
supplier advances, revenue sharing programs receivables in our Aviation business, other non-income based tax receivables, primarily value-added tax related to our operations in various countries outside of the U.S., receivables from disposed businesses, including receivables for transactional services agreements and certain intercompany balances that eliminate upon consolidation. Revenue sharing program receivables in Aviation are amounts due from third parties who participate in engine programs by developing and supplying certain engine components through the life of the program. The participants share in program revenues, receive a share of customer progress payments and share costs related to discounts and warranties.
(c)
Consolidated current receivables include deferred purchase price which represents our retained risk with respect to current customer receivables sold to third parties through one of the receivable facilities.
The balance of the deferred purchase price held by GE Capital at
June 30, 2020
and December 31, 2019 was $
537
million and $
421
million, respectively.
(d) GE allowance for credit losses primarily increased due to net new provisions of
$

, offset by write-offs and foreign currency impact.
Sales of GE current customer receivables.
When GE sells customer receivables to GE Capital or third parties it accelerates the receipt of cash that would otherwise have been collected from customers. In any given period, the amount of cash received from sales of customer receivables compared to the cash GE would have otherwise collected had those customer receivables not been sold represents the cash generated or used in the period relating to this activity. GE sales of customer receivables to GE Capital or third parties are made on arm's length terms and any discount related to time value of money is recognized by GE when the customer receivables are sold.
As of
June 30, 2020
and 2019, GE sold approximately
45
%
and
59
%
, respectively, of its gross customer receivables to GE Capital or third parties.

UNCONSOLIDATED RECEIVABLES FACILITIES
. GE Capital has
two
revolving receivables facilities, under which customer receivables purchased from GE are sold to third parties. In the first facility, which has a program size of
$
3,000
million
, upon the sale of receivables, we receive proceeds of cash and deferred purchase price and the Company’s remaining risk with respect to the sold receivables is limited to the balance of the deferred purchase price. In the second facility, which has a program size of
$
800
million
, upon the sale of receivables, we receive proceeds of cash only and therefore the Company has no remaining risk with respect to the sold receivables. The program size of the second facility decreased from
$
1,200
million
to
$
800
million
during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Activity related to these facilities is included in the GE Capital sales to third parties line in the sales of GE current customer receivables table above and is as follows:

We test goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. In assessing the possibility that a reporting unit’s fair value has been reduced below its carrying amount due to the occurrence of events or circumstances between annual impairment testing dates, we consider all available evidence, including (i) the results of our impairment testing from the most recent testing date (in particular, the magnitude of the excess of fair value over carrying value observed), (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts or decreases in market multiples (and the magnitude thereof), if any, and (iii) declines in market capitalization below book value (and the magnitude and duration of those declines), if any. Due to the impact of recent events, including challenges from declines in current market conditions, we performed an interim impairment test at our Additive reporting unit within our Aviation segment and GECAS reporting unit within our Capital segment in the second quarter of 2020, both of which incorporated a combination of income and market valuation approaches. The results of the analysis indicated that carrying values of both reporting units were in excess of their respective fair values. Therefore, we recorded non-cash impairment losses of
$
877
million
and
$
839
million
for the Additive and GECAS reporting units, respectively, in the caption Goodwill impairments in our consolidated Statement of Earnings (Loss). All of the goodwill in Additive was the result of the Arcam AB and Concept Laser GmBH acquisitions in 2016. Of the
$
839
million
of goodwill for GECAS,
$
729
million
arose from the acquisition of Milestone Aviation, our helicopter leasing business, in 2015. After the impairment charges, there is
$
222
million
goodwill remaining in our Additive reporting unit and
no
goodwill remaining in our GECAS reporting unit. Since the fair value of our Additive reporting unit now equals its carrying value, we will continue to monitor the remaining goodwill in this reporting unit for impairment in future periods.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Also, in the second quarter of 2020, we performed an analysis of the impact of recent events, including business and industry specific considerations, on the fair value of our Grid Solutions software reporting unit in our Digital business within Corporate and concluded an interim impairment test was not required. While the goodwill of this reporting unit is not currently impaired there can be no assurances that goodwill will not be impaired in future periods. We will continue to monitor the operating results, cash flow forecasts and challenges from declines in current market conditions, as well as impacts of COVID-19 for this reporting unit as its fair value is not significantly in excess of its carrying value. At June 30, 2020, goodwill in our Grid Solutions software reporting unit was

REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATION
.
As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of the contracted revenues allocated to our unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was
$
227,598
million
. We expect to recognize revenue as we satisfy our remaining performance obligations as follows:
(1)
equipment-related remaining performance obligation of
$
44,411
million, of which
63
%
,
83
%
and
97
%
is expected to be satisfied within
1

and (2)
services-related remaining performance obligation of
$
183,188
million, of which
11

,
67
%
and
82
%
is expected to be recognized within
1

Contract modifications could affect both the timing to complete as well as the amount to be received as we fulfill the related remaining performance obligations.

Contract and other deferred assets
decrease
d
$
1,246
million
in the first half of
2020
. Our long-term service agreements
decrease
d primarily due to billings of
$
4,527
million
and a net unfavorable change in estimated profitability of
$
791
million
at Aviation and
$
22
million
at Power, offset by revenues recognized of
$
4,670
million
. The decrease in long-term service agreements at Aviation included a
$
536
million
pre-tax charge to reflect the cumulative impacts of changes to billing and cost assumptions for certain long-term service agreements, reflecting lower engine utilization, anticipated customer fleet restructuring and contract modifications. Additional adjustments could occur in future periods and could be material for certain long-term service agreements if actual customer operating behavior differs significantly from Aviation's current estimates.

The increase in insurance liabilities and annuity benefits of

NOTE 14. INCOME TAXES.
Our consolidated effective income tax rate was
(
3.3
)%
and
(
5.0
)%
during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The negative rates for 2020 and 2019 reflect tax benefits on pre-tax income. The rate for 2020 is lower than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the lower tax rate on the sale of our BioPharma business. The low tax rate on the sale reflects gain outside the U.S. taxed at lower than
21%
and because we recorded
$
633
million
of the tax associated with preparatory steps for the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2019. This was partially offset by the largely non-deductible goodwill impairment charges associated with our Additive business within our Aviation segment and our GECAS business within our Capital segment. The rate for 2019 benefited from favorable audit resolutions, U.S. business credits and the lower-taxed disposition of our Digital ServiceMax business. This was partially offset by the cost of global activities, including the base erosion and global intangible low tax income provisions and from a largely non-deductible goodwill impairment charge associated with our Grid Solutions equipment and services business within our Renewable Energy segment.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is currently auditing our consolidated U.S. income tax returns for 2014-2015 and 2016-2018. It is possible the 2014-2015 audit will be completed in the next 12 months. The United Kingdom tax authorities disallowed interest deductions claimed by GE Capital for the years 2004-2015 that could result in a potential impact of approximately
$
1
billion
, which includes a possible assessment of tax and reduction of deferred tax assets, not including interest and penalties. We are contesting the disallowance. We comply with all applicable tax laws and judicial doctrines of the United Kingdom and believe that the entire benefit is more likely than not to be sustained on its technical merits.

Our unvested restricted stock unit awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities, and, therefore, are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, as a result of the loss from continuing operations, losses were not allocated to the participating securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, application of this treatment had an insignificant effect.
NOTE 17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS.
The following table provides information about assets and liabilities not carried at fair value and excludes finance leases, equity securities without readily determinable fair value and non-financial assets and liabilities. Substantially all of these assets are considered to be Level 3 and the vast majority of our liabilities’ fair value are considered Level 2.

The lower fair value in relation to carrying value for borrowings at June 30, 2020 compared to December 31, 2019 was driven primarily by widening GE credit spreads, partially offset by a decline in market interest rates. Unlike the carrying amount, estimated fair value of borrowings included

million
and
$
1,106
million
of accrued interest at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

FAIR VALUE HEDGES.
We use derivatives to hedge the effects of interest rate and currency exchange rate changes on our borrowings. At
June 30, 2020
, the cumulative amount of hedging adjustments of
$
6,503
million
(including
$
2,342
million
on discontinued hedging relationships) was included in the carrying amount of the hedged liability of
$
46,255
million
. At June 30, 2019, the cumulative amount of hedging adjustments of
$
4,221
million
(including
$
2,568
million
on discontinued hedging relationships) was included in the carrying amount of the hedged liability of
$
58,344
million
. The cumulative amount of hedging adjustments was primarily recorded in long-term borrowings.
CASH FLOW HEDGES.
Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and recorded in earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction occurs. The gain (loss) recognized in AOCI was
$
53
million
and
$(
49
) million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively, and
$(
260
) million
and
$(
2
) million
for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts were primarily related to currency exchange and interest rate contracts.
The total amount in AOCI related to cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions was a
$
118
million
loss at
June 30, 2020
. We expect to reclassify
$
85
million
of loss to earnings in the next 12 months contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. For all periods presented we recognized an immaterial amount related to hedged forecasted transactions and firm commitments that did not occur by the end of the originally specified period. At
June 30, 2020
and 2019, the maximum term of derivative instruments that hedge forecasted transactions was
15
years
and
13
years
, respectively.
NET INVESTMENT HEDGES.
For these hedges, the portion of the fair value changes of the derivatives or debt instruments that relates to changes in spot currency exchange rates is recorded in a separate component of AOCI. The portion of the fair value changes of the derivatives related to differences between spot and forward rates is recorded in earnings each period. The amounts recorded in AOCI affect earnings if the hedged investment is sold, substantially liquidated, or control is lost.
The total gain (loss) recognized in AOCI on hedging instruments for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
and 2019 was
$(
90
) million
and
$
86
million
, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was
$
68
million
and
$
18
million
, respectively, predominantly from foreign currency debt. For all periods presented we recognized an immaterial amount excluded from assessment and recognized in earnings.
The carrying value of foreign currency debt designated as net investment hedges was
$
7,743
million
and
$
12,421
million
at
June 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively. The gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into earnings was immaterial for both the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020
and 2019, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
EFFECTS OF DERIVATIVES ON EARNINGS.
All derivatives are marked to fair value on our balance sheet, whether they are designated in a hedging relationship for accounting purposes or are used as economic hedges. For derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, substantially all of the gain or loss recognized in earnings is offset by either the current period change in value of underlying exposures, which is recorded in earnings in the current period or a future period when the recording of the exposures occur.

COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK.
We manage the risk that counterparties will default and not make payments to us according to the terms of our agreements on an individual counterparty basis. Where we have agreed to netting of derivative exposures with a counterparty, we net our exposures with that counterparty and apply the value of collateral posted to us to determine the exposure. We actively monitor these net exposures against defined limits and take appropriate actions in response, including requiring additional collateral. Our exposures to counterparties (including accrued interest), net of collateral we held, was
$
317
million
and
$
368
million
at
June 30, 2020
and December 31, 2019, respectively. Counterparties' exposures to our derivative liability (including accrued interest), net of collateral posted by us, was
$
375
million
and
$

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES.
In addition to the
three
VIEs detailed in Note 4, in our consolidated Statement of Financial Position, we have assets of
$
2,621
million
and
$
2,134
million
and liabilities of
$
1,553
million
and
$
1,233
million
at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, from other consolidated VIEs. These entities were created to help our customers facilitate or finance the purchase of GE goods and services. These entities have no features that could expose us to losses that would significantly exceed the difference between the consolidated assets and liabilities. Substantially all the assets of our consolidated VIEs at June 30, 2020, can only be used to settle the liabilities of those VIEs.
Our investments in unconsolidated VIEs were
$
2,194
million and
$
1,937
million
at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. These investments are primarily owned by GE Capital businesses,
$
589
million and
$
621
million of which were owned by Energy Financial Services, comprising equity method investments, and
$
1,222
million and
$
896
million
of which were owned by our run-off insurance operations, primarily comprising investment securities at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The increase in investments in unconsolidated VIEs in our run-off insurance operations reflects implementation of our revised reinvestment plan, which incorporates the introduction of strategic initiatives to invest in higher-yielding asset classes. Our maximum exposure to loss in respect of unconsolidated VIEs is increased by our commitments to make additional investments in these entities described in Note 19.

COMMITMENTS
.
The GECAS business within the Capital segment has placed multiple-year orders for various Boeing, Airbus and other aircraft manufacturers with list prices approximating $

new aircraft with estimated delivery dates of
14
%
in 2020,
22
%
in 2021 and

%
in 2020,
60
%
in 2021 and

June 30, 2020
. When we purchase aircraft, it is at a contractual price, which is usually less than the aircraft manufacturer’s list price and excludes any pre-delivery payments made in advance. As of
June 30, 2020
, we have made
$
3,424
million
of pre-delivery payments to aircraft manufacturers.
During April 2020, GECAS agreed with Boeing to restructure its 737 MAX orderbook including previously canceled positions, resulting in
78
orders now remaining.
GE Capital had total investment commitments of
$
2,722
million

GUARANTEES.
For further information, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
.
PRODUCT WARRANTIES
.
We provide for estimated product warranty expenses when we sell the related products. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, mostly historical claims experience, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. The liability for product warranties was
$
2,036
million
and
$
2,165
million
at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
LEGAL MATTERS.
The following information supplements and amends the discussion of Legal Matters in Note 23 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and in Note 19 in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020; refer to those discussions for information about previously reported legal matters that are not updated below.
In the normal course of our business, we are involved from time to time in various arbitrations, class actions, commercial litigation, investigations and other legal, regulatory or governmental actions, including the significant matters described below that could have a material impact on our results of operations. In many proceedings, including the specific matters described below, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss, and accruals for legal matters are not recorded until a loss for a particular matter is considered probable and reasonably estimable. Given the nature of legal matters and the complexities involved, it is often difficult to predict and determine a meaningful estimate of loss or range of loss until we know, among other factors, the particular claims involved, the likelihood of success of our defenses to those claims, the damages or other relief sought, how discovery or other procedural considerations will affect the outcome, the settlement posture of other parties and other factors that may have a material effect on the outcome. For these matters, unless otherwise specified, we do not believe it is possible to provide a meaningful estimate of loss at this time. Moreover, it is not uncommon for legal matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be continuously evaluated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Alstom legacy matters.
In November 2015, we acquired the Thermal, Renewables and Grid businesses from Alstom. Prior to the acquisition, the seller was the subject of
two
significant cases involving anti-competitive activities and improper payments: (1) in January 2007, Alstom was fined
€
65
million
by the European Commission for participating in a gas insulated switchgear cartel that operated from 1988 to 2004 (that fine was later reduced to
€
59
million
), and (2) in December 2014, Alstom pled guilty in the United States to multiple violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and paid a criminal penalty of
$
772
million
. As part of GE’s accounting for the acquisition, we established a reserve amounting to
$
858
million
for legal and compliance matters related to the legacy business practices that were the subject of these and related cases in various jurisdictions, including the previously reported legal proceedings in Israel that are described below. The reserve balance was
$
856
million
and
$
875
million
at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Regardless of jurisdiction, the allegations relate to claimed anti-competitive conduct or improper payments in the pre-acquisition period as the source of legal violations and/or damages. Given the significant litigation and compliance activity related to these matters and our ongoing efforts to resolve them, it is difficult to assess whether the disbursements will ultimately be consistent with the reserve established. The estimation of this reserve involved significant judgment and may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes inherent in litigation and investigations of this nature, and at this time we are unable to develop a meaningful estimate of the range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond the amount of this reserve. Damages sought may include disgorgement of profits on the underlying business transactions, fines and/or penalties, interest, or other forms of resolution. Factors that can affect the ultimate amount of losses associated with these and related matters include the way cooperation is assessed and valued, prosecutorial discretion in the determination of damages, formulas for determining fines and penalties, the duration and amount of legal and investigative resources applied, political and social influences within each jurisdiction, and tax consequences of any settlements or previous deductions, among other considerations. Actual losses arising from claims in these and related matters could exceed the amount provided.
In September 2013, the Israeli Antitrust Authority issued a decision whereby Alstom, Siemens AG and ABB Ltd. were held liable for an alleged anti-competitive arrangement in the gas-insulated switchgears market in Israel. While there was no fine in connection with that decision, claimants brought two civil actions in 2013 seeking damages of approximately
$
950
million
and
$
600
million
, respectively, related to the alleged conduct underlying the decision that were pending before the Central District Court in Israel. The court in March 2020 approved a settlement agreement among the parties that became final in June, and GE is paying approximately
$
47
million
in the conclusion of these matters.
Shareholder and related lawsuits.
In February 2019, two putative class actions (the Birnbaum case and the Sheet Metal Workers Local 17 Trust Funds case) were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York naming as defendants GE and current and former GE executive officers. In April 2019, the court issued an order consolidating these two actions. In June 2019, the lead plaintiff filed an amended consolidated complaint. It alleges violations of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on alleged misstatements regarding GE's H-class turbines and goodwill related to GE's Power business. The lawsuit seeks damages on behalf of shareholders who acquired GE stock between December 4, 2017 and December 6, 2018. In August 2019, the lead plaintiff filed a second amended complaint. In May 2020 the court granted GE's motion to dismiss the case, and in June 2020 the plaintiffs filed an appeal with the Second Circuit.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Our public communications and SEC filings may contain statements related to future, not past, events. These forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "see," "will," "would," "estimate," "forecast," "target," "preliminary," or "range." Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as statements about the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations, financial results and financial position and on the world economy; our expected financial performance, including cash flows, revenues, organic growth, margins, earnings and earnings per share; macroeconomic and market conditions and volatility; planned and potential business or asset dispositions; our de-leveraging plans, including leverage ratios and targets, the timing and nature of actions to reduce indebtedness and our credit ratings and outlooks; GE's and GE Capital's funding and liquidity; our businesses’ cost structures and plans to reduce costs; restructuring, goodwill impairment or other financial charges; or tax rates.
For us, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include:
•
the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts of the pandemic and of businesses’ and governments’ responses to the pandemic on our operations and personnel, and on commercial activity and demand across our and our customers’ businesses, and on global supply chains;
•
our inability to predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts will continue to adversely impact our business operations, financial performance, results of operations, financial position, the prices of our securities and the achievement of our strategic objectives;
•
changes in macroeconomic and market conditions and market volatility (including developments and volatility arising from the COVID-19 pandemic), including interest rates, the value of securities and other financial assets (including our equity ownership position in Baker Hughes), oil and other commodity prices and exchange rates, and the impact of such changes and volatility on our financial position;
•
our de-leveraging and capital allocation plans, including with respect to actions to reduce our indebtedness, the timing and amount of GE dividends, organic investments, and other priorities;
•
further downgrades of our current short- and long-term credit ratings or ratings outlooks, or changes in rating application or methodology, and the related impact on our liquidity, funding profile, costs and competitive position;
•
GE’s liquidity and the amount and timing of our GE Industrial cash flows and earnings, which may be impacted by customer, supplier, competitive, contractual and other dynamics and conditions;
•
GE Capital's capital and liquidity needs, including in connection with GE Capital’s run-off insurance operations and discontinued operations, the amount and timing of required capital contributions to the insurance operations and any strategic actions that we may pursue; the impact of conditions in the financial and credit markets on GE Capital's ability to sell financial assets; the availability and cost of funding; and GE Capital's exposure to particular counterparties and markets;
•
our success in executing and completing asset dispositions or other transactions, including our plan to exit our equity ownership position in Baker Hughes, the timing of closing for such transactions and the expected proceeds and benefits to GE;
•
global economic trends, competition and geopolitical risks, including changes in the rates of investment or economic growth in key markets we serve, or an escalation of trade tensions such as those between the U.S. and China;
•
market developments or customer actions that may affect levels of demand and the financial performance of the major industries and customers we serve, such as secular, cyclical and competitive pressures in our Power business, pricing and other pressures in the renewable energy market, levels of demand for air travel and other customer dynamics such as early aircraft retirements, conditions in key geographic markets and other shifts in the competitive landscape for our products and services;
•
operational execution by our businesses, including our ability to improve the operations and execution of our Power and Renewable Energy businesses, and the performance of our Aviation business;
•
changes in law, regulation or policy that may affect our businesses, such as trade policy and tariffs, regulation related to climate change, and the effects of U.S. tax reform and other tax law changes;
•
our decisions about investments in new products, services and platforms, and our ability to launch new products in a cost-effective manner;
•
our ability to increase margins through implementation of operational changes, restructuring and other cost reduction measures;
•
the impact of regulation and regulatory, investigative and legal proceedings and legal compliance risks, including the impact of Alstom, SEC and other investigative and legal proceedings;
•
the impact of actual or potential failures of our products or third-party products with which our products are integrated, such as the fleet grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX, and the timing of its return to service and return to delivery, and related reputational effects;
•
the impact of potential information technology, cybersecurity or data security breaches; and
•
the other factors that are described in the "Risk Factors" section of this report and of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as such descriptions may be updated or amended in any future reports we file with the SEC.
These or other uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements. This document includes certain forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts. Actual results could differ materially.
