SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN 2015
|
|||
Our consolidated results were significantly affected by the stronger U.S. dollar compared with various foreign currencies as described in our segment operating results and geographic information.
|
|||
|
On April 10, 2015, we announced our plan to reduce the size of the financial services businesses through the sale of most of its assets over the following 24 months. See the GE Capital Exit Plan section within the MD&A for additional information.
On November 17, 2015, we completed the split-off of Synchrony Financial through which the Company accepted 671,366,809 shares of GE common stock from its shareholders in exchange for 705,270,833 shares of Synchrony Financial common stock that it owned and recorded an after-tax gain of $3.4 billion in discontinued operations.
|
||
|
On November 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Alstom's Thermal, Renewables and Grid businesses. The completion of the transaction followed the regulatory approval of the deal in over 20 countries and regions including the EU, U.S., China, India, Japan and Brazil. The purchase price was €9.2 billion (approximately $10.1 billion). The acquisition and alliances with Alstom affected our Power, Renewable Energy, and Energy Management segments.
|
||
|
On November 2, 2015, we also completed the sale of our Signaling business to Alstom with proceeds of $0.8 billion and a pre-tax gain of $0.6 billion.
|
||
|
On December 7, 2015, we announced that we had terminated our agreement to sell our Appliances business to Electrolux.
On January 15, 2016, we announced the signing of a definitive agreement to sell our Appliances business to Qingdao Haier Co., Ltd. (Haier) for $5.4 billion.

COMMENTARY: 2015 – 2014
|
2014 – 2013
|
||
Consolidated revenues increased $0.2 billion.
Industrial segment revenues decreased less than 1%, reflecting negative foreign currency impacts and the effects of dispositions, partially offset by organic growth of 3% and the effects of acquisitions (primarily Alstom).
Financial Services revenues decreased $0.5 billion, or 5%, primarily as a result of organic revenue declines, primarily resulting from lower ending net investment (ENI), lower gains and higher impairments, partially offset by the effects of acquisitions and dispositions.
Other income increased $1.4 billion, primarily due to the gain on sale of our Signaling business of $0.6 billion, NBCU settlement of $0.5 billion, and $0.2 billion break-up fee from Electrolux.
The effects of acquisitions increased consolidated revenues $2.5 billion and $1.7 billion in 2015 and 2014, respectively. Dispositions affected our ongoing results through increased revenues of $0.4 billion in 2015 and lower revenues of $3.6 in 2014.
The effects of a stronger U.S. dollar compared to mainly the euro, Brazilian real, and Canadian dollar, decreased consolidated revenues by $4.9 billion.
|
Consolidated revenues increased $3.9 billion, or 3%.
Industrial segment revenues increased 6%, reflecting organic growth* of 7% and the effects of acquisitions (primarily Lufkin Industries, Inc. (Lufkin), Avio S.p.A. (Avio) and certain Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. businesses).
Financial Services revenues increased $0.1 billion as a result of organic revenue growth and higher gains, partially offset by the effects of dispositions.
Other income decreased $2.3 billion, primarily due to the sale of our remaining 49% common equity interest in NBCU LLC in 2013 ($1.6 billion).
The effects of acquisitions increased consolidated revenues $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Dispositions affected our ongoing results through lower revenues of $3.6 billion and $0.1 in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The effects of a stronger U.S. dollar compared to mainly the Japanese yen, Canadian dollar and Brazilian real, partially offset by the British pound, decreased consolidated revenues by $0.6 billion.

COMMENTARY: 2015 – 2014
|
2014 – 2013
|
|
Consolidated earnings decreased $7.9 billion or 83%, primarily due to lower Financial Services income.
Industrial segment profit increased 1% with growth driven by Aviation, Appliances & Lighting, Transportation, Energy Management, and Power, partially offset by lower performance for Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy and Healthcare.
Industrial segment margin increased 30 basis points (bps) driven by higher productivity, pricing and impacts of material deflation, partially offset by effects of Alstom results. Excluding Alstom, Industrial segment margins increased 80 bps.* to 17.0%.
Financial Services net earnings decreased $9.2 billion, primarily due to charges associated with the GE Capital Exit Plan. See the GE Capital and Capital segment sections for more details.
The effects of acquisitions on our consolidated net earnings were insignificant in 2015 and a $0.2 billion increase in 2014. The effects of dispositions on net earnings were an increase of $0.9 billion in 2015 and a decrease of $1.6 billion in 2014.
Industrial SG&A as a percentage of total sales remained flat at 14% as a result of global cost reduction initiatives, primarily at Oil & Gas, Healthcare and Corporate. This was partially offset by lower revenues and higher acquisition-related costs.
|
Consolidated earnings increased $1.9 billion or 25%, primarily due to an increase in the operating profit of the industrial segments, partially offset by lower Financial Services income and the absence of the NBCU LLC related income.
Industrial segment profit increased 10% with growth driven by Aviation, Oil & Gas, and Renewable Energy.
Industrial segment margin increased 50 basis points (bps) driven by higher productivity and pricing, partially offset by negative business mix and the effects of inflation.
Financial Services net earnings increased $0.8 billion as a result of core increases, equipment leased to others (ELTO) impairments related to our operating lease portfolio of commercial aircraft, and higher gains, partially offset by the effects of dispositions.
The effects of acquisitions on our consolidated net earnings were increases of $0.2 billion and $0.1 billion in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effects of dispositions on net earnings were a decrease of $1.6 billion in 2014 and an increase of $0.1 billion in 2013.
Industrial SG&A as a percentage of total sales decreased to 14% as a result of global cost reduction initiatives, primarily at Power and Healthcare. This was partially offset by higher acquisition-related costs.
|
|
$9.5 billion of net loss primarily related to the completed and planned dispositions of the Real Estate business, the Consumer business and most of the CLL business, which was recorded in discontinued operations under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.
|
|
$6.5 billion of tax expense related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets, of which $6.3 billion was recorded in continuing operations and reported in GE Capital's Corporate component and $0.1 billion was recorded in discontinued operations in our Consumer business under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.

|
$0.6 billion of restructuring and other charges, of which $0.5 billion was recorded in continuing operations in GE Capital's Corporate component under the captions "Selling, general and administrative expenses" and "Other costs and expenses" in the Statement of Earnings and less than $0.1 billion was recorded in discontinued operations under the caption "Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes" in the Statement of Earnings.
|
|
The Power segment (formerly Power & Water) was affected through the splitting out of the Renewable Energy business, principally the onshore wind business.
|
|
A new segment named Renewable Energy was created that includes GE's legacy onshore wind business and the wind and hydro businesses acquired from Alstom.
|
|
Energy Management was affected through the formation of a joint venture with Alstom.
|
|
Additionally, a portion of the Distributed Power business that provides turbines for oil & gas applications was realigned from the Power segment to the Oil & Gas segment.
|
|
Transportation sold its Signaling business to Alstom.
|
|
The remaining segments, Healthcare, Aviation, and Appliances & Lighting were not affected by any significant segment changes in 2015.
|
|
The financial services segment, previously referred to as GE Capital, is now called Capital. GE Capital now refers to GECC or its successor, GECGH.
|
|
Interest and other financial charges, income taxes and GE preferred stock dividends are excluded in determining segment profit (which we sometimes refer to as "operating profit") for the industrial segments.

SIGNIFICANT TRENDS & DEVELOPMENTS
|
|
Lower oil prices leading to reductions in customers' forecasted capital expenditures create industry challenges, the effects of which are uncertain.
|
|
We are impacted by volatility in foreign currency exchange rates mainly due to a high concentration of non-U.S. dollar denominated business as well as long-term contracts denominated in multiple currencies.

SIGNIFICANT TRENDS & DEVELOPMENTS
|
|
On November 2, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Alstom's Grid business as part of the overall Alstom transaction. Our former Digital Energy business was combined with Alstom's Grid business to form Grid Solutions, a GE and Alstom joint venture.
|
|
The Intelligent Platforms Embedded Systems Products business of Industrial Solutions was sold in December 2015 for approximately $0.5 billion and the Electricity Meters business of Grid Solutions was sold in December 2015 for approximately $0.2 billion.
|
|
We are seeing growth in renewable energy industries, specifically wind & solar industries, which is driving demand in our Power Conversion business for equipment and services. This growth is offset by the decline in the oil & gas industry.
|
|
We see soft demand in the North American electrical distribution market, slow economic recovery in Europe, and continued soft demand in other parts of the developed world.

Segment revenues up $0.3 billion (4%);
Segment profit up (10%) as a result of:
The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher sales at Grid Solutions, driven by the effects of the Alstom acquisition, and a gain on the sale of a meters business, partially offset by the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar and lower volume at Industrial Solutions.
The increase in profit was primarily due to higher productivity, including a reduction in SG&A, partially offset by the impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.

Commercial Lending and Leasing (CLL) – offers capital and services to industrials served by GE, including the healthcare industry through its Healthcare Equipment Finance business. The CLL business also provides factoring solutions through its Working Capital Solutions business to the GE industrial businesses by purchasing GE customer receivables. Beginning in 2016, this business will be referred to as Industrial Finance.
|

SIGNIFICANT TRENDS & DEVELOPMENTS
|
|
The GE Capital Exit Plan - On April 10, 2015, the Company announced its plan to reduce the size of the financial services businesses through the sale of most of its assets over the following 24 months. It is expected that as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan, the Capital businesses that will remain with GE will account for about $90 billion in ending net investment (ENI), excluding liquidity, including about $40 billion in the U.S. ENI is a metric used to measure the total capital invested in the financial services businesses. Capital's ENI, excluding liquidity* was $82 billion at December 31, 2015. Further information on the GE Capital Exit Plan is provided in the Consolidated Results section of the MD&A and Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
|
|
The GE Capital Exit Plan – As the GE Capital Exit Plan progresses, we will continue to incur interest on non-Verticals borrowings, restructuring costs and GE and GE Capital headquarters costs that are in excess of those allocated to the Verticals. These costs are recorded within other continuing operations within Capital.
|
|
Milestone Aviation Group – On January 30, 2015, we acquired Milestone Aviation Group, a helicopter leasing business, for approximately $1.8 billion.
|
|
Dividends - GE Capital paid $4.3 billion, $3.0 billion and $6.0 billion of dividends to GE in the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

COMMENTARY: 2015 – 2014
|
|
Within Capital, Verticals revenues decreased by $0.7 billion, or 6%, as a result of organic revenue declines ($0.9 billion), lower gains ($0.2 billion) and higher impairments ($0.1 billion), partially offset by the effects of acquisitions and dispositions ($0.5 billion).
|
|
CLL revenues increased by $0.1 billion, or 6%, as a result of organic revenue growth ($0.1 billion), partially offset by the effects of currency exchange.
|
|

|
|
Insurance revenues decreased $0.1 billion as a result of organic revenue declines ($0.1 billion) and lower gains.
|
|
Within Capital, Verticals net earnings increased by $0.1 billion, or 4%, as a result of lower equipment leased to others (ELTO) impairments ($0.1 billion) related to our operating lease portfolio of commercial aircraft and the effects of acquisitions and dispositions ($0.2 billion), partially offset by lower gains ($0.1 billion) and core decreases ($0.1 billion).
|
|
CLL net earnings increased by $0.1 billion, or 18%, as a result of core increases of $0.1 billion, partially offset by the effects of currency exchange.

|
|
Insurance net earnings decreased $0.1 billion as a result of core decreases ($0.1 billion) and lower gains.

Other Capital net earnings decreased by $9.3 billion primarily as a result of the GE Capital Exit Plan as follows:
|
|
Higher tax expenses of $7.0 billion primarily related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets related to the GE Capital Exit Plan.
|
|
Higher treasury operation expenses of $1.0 billion reflecting excess interest expense, including costs associated with the debt exchange completed in October 2015 and derivative activities that reduce or eliminate interest rate, currency or market risk between financial assets and liabilities. We expect to continue to have excess interest costs in 2016 as asset sales outpace our debt maturities. We may engage in liability management actions, such as buying back debt, based on market and economic conditions.

EXPECTED RATE OF RETURN
|
||
|
Postretirement benefit plans cost increased in 2015, primarily because of the effects of lower discount rates and new mortality assumptions, which were partially offset by lower loss amortization related to our principal pension plans and by changes to principal retiree benefit plans.
|
|
In 2015, we amended our principal retiree benefit plans affecting post-65 retiree health and retiree life insurance for certain production participants. These plan amendments reduced our principal postretirement benefit obligations by approximately $3.3 billion.
|
|
Postretirement benefit plans cost decreased due to higher discount rates and lower loss amortization related to our principal pension plans, partially offset by a lower expected investment return on pension plan assets.
|
|
We updated our mortality assumptions at December 31, 2014 based on tables issued by the Society of Actuaries to reflect longer life expectancies. The new mortality assumptions increased our principal postretirement benefit obligations by $4.6 billion at year-end 2014.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
|
CASH INCOME TAXES PAID
|
||
|
The consolidated income tax rate for 2015 was greater than 35% due to charges associated with the GE Capital Exit Plan.
|
|
As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2015 in conjunction with the GE Capital Exit Plan, we incurred tax expense of $6.3 billion related to expected repatriation of foreign earnings and write-off of deferred tax assets.
|
|
The increase in the income tax expense is primarily due to the tax expense incurred as part of the GE Capital Exit Plan.
|
|
The consolidated tax provision includes $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion for GE (excluding GE Capital) for 2014 and 2015, respectively.
|
|
The decrease in the consolidated provision for income taxes was attributable to increased benefits from lower taxed global operations, excluding the benefit of audit resolutions.
|
|
This decrease was partially offset by an increase in income taxed at rates above the average rate.

GE ETR, EXCLUDING GE CAPITAL EARNINGS*
|
GE PROVISION (BENEFIT) FOR INCOME TAXES
|
|
|
The GE provision for income taxes decreased in 2015 because of increased benefits from lower taxed global operations ($0.2 billion), including benefits from integrating our existing services business with Alstom's services business.
|
|
The GE provision for income taxes also decreased due to increases in the benefit of audit resolutions ($0.2 billion) shown below and deductible stock losses ($0.2 billion).
|
|
Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in income taxed at rates above the average tax rate ($0.5 billion).
|
|
The GE provision for income taxes decreased in 2014 primarily because of increased benefits from lower taxed global operations ($0.8 billion).
|
|
That decrease was partially offset by the decrease in the benefit of audit resolutions ($0.3 billion) shown below, an increase in income taxed at rates above the average tax rate ($0.3 billion), and the non-repeat of the 2013 benefit from the enactment of the extension of certain U.S. business credits ($0.1 billion), discussed above.

INCOME TAXES
|

|
|
The increase in the income tax expense from a benefit of $0.9 billion for 2014 to an expense of $5.0 billion for 2015 is primarily due to the tax expense, discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, related to the GE Capital Exit Plan.
|
|
The increase in tax benefit of $0.5 billion from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to increased benefits from lower tax global operations ($0.2 billion), non-repeat of an expense for IRS audit resolutions ($0.2 billion) and increased state and local tax benefits ($0.1 billion).

Cash and equivalents increased $0.5 billion. GE Cash and equivalents decreased $5.5 billion due to cash flows from operating activities of $16.4 billion, more than offset by $10.4 billion used to acquire businesses (primarily Alstom) and $12.1 billion cash returned to investors in the form of dividends of $9.3 billion and buyback of treasury stock of $2.8 billion (cash basis). GE Capital Cash and equivalents increased $6.0 billion primarily driven by $79.6 billion in proceeds from business dispositions, partially offset by $59.3 billion net repayment of debt and $4.6 billion in payments of dividends to shareowners. See the Statement of Cash Flows section for additional information.
|
|
Goodwill increased $12.3 billion, primarily as a result of the Alstom and Milestone acquisitions, partially offset by currency exchange effects of the stronger U.S. dollar and disposals.
|
|
All other assets increased $12.6 billion, primarily due to purchases of time deposits at GE Capital of $10.4 billion.
|
|
Assets of discontinued operations decreased $202.6 billion, primarily due to the disposition of Consumer businesses of $113.8 billion (including the Synchrony Financial split-off), CLL businesses of $56.1 billion and Real Estate of $33.0 billion. See Note 2 for additional information.
|
|
Other GE current liabilities increased $9.3 billion, primarily driven by the Alstom acquisition of $5.6 billion and taxes payable of $2.7 billion.
|
|
Borrowings decreased $63.1 billion, primarily due to net repayments on GE Capital borrowings of $55.3 billion, along with an $8.9 billion reduction in the balances driven by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against major currencies, partially offset by a net increase in borrowings by GE of $2.0 billion.
|
|
Liabilities of discontinued operations decreased $81.7 billion, primarily driven by the disposition of Consumer businesses of $69.1 billion (including the Synchrony Financial split-off), CLL businesses of $11.6 billion and Real Estate of $1.7 billion. See Note 2 for additional information.
|
|
Retained earnings decreased $15.3 billion, due to common stock dividends of $9.1 billion in addition to a net loss of $6.1 billion.
|
|
Common stock held in treasury increased $20.9 billion, primarily due to the Synchrony Financial share exchange of $20.4 billion and buyback of treasury stock of $3.3 billion (book basis). This was partially offset by treasury stock dispositions of $2.8 billion, primarily stock option exercises of $1.8 billion.
|
|
Noncontrolling interests decreased $6.8 billion, primarily due to the GE Capital preferred share exchange of $4.9 billion and the Synchrony Financial split-off of $2.8 billion, partially offset by noncontrolling interests related to the Alstom acquisition of $0.7 billion. The impact of the preferred share exchange is also the primary driver for the increase in Other capital of $4.7 billion. See Note 15 for additional information.

At December 31, 2015, $2.8 billion of GE cash and equivalents was held in countries with currency controls that 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. These funds are available to fund operations and growth in these countries and we do not currently anticipate a need to transfer these funds to the U.S.
|
(b)
|
At December 31, 2015, GE Capital cash and equivalents of about $0.7 billion were primarily in insurance entities and were subject to regulatory restrictions.
|
(c)
|
Of this amount at December 31, 2015, $3.5 billion is held outside of the U.S. and is available to fund operations and other growth of non-U.S. subsidiaries; it is also available to fund our needs in the U.S. on a short-term basis through short-term loans, without being subject to U.S. tax. Under the Internal Revenue Code, these loans are permitted to be outstanding for 30 days or less and the total of all such loans is required to be outstanding for less than 60 days during the year. If we were to repatriate this cash, we would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

It is our policy to minimize exposure to interest rate changes. We fund our financial investments using debt or a combination of debt and hedging instruments so that the interest rates of our borrowings match the expected interest rate profile on our assets. To test the effectiveness of our hedging actions, we assumed that, on January 1, 2016, interest rates decreased by 100 basis points across the yield curve (a "parallel shift" in that curve) and further assumed that the decrease remained in place for the next 12 months. Based on the year-end 2015 portfolio and holding all other assumptions constant, we estimated that our consolidated net earnings for the next 12 months, starting in January 2016, would decline by less than $0.3 billion as a result of this parallel shift in the yield curve.
|
|
It is our policy to minimize currency exposures and to conduct operations either within functional currencies or using the protection of hedge strategies. We analyzed year-end 2015 consolidated currency exposures, including derivatives designated and effective as hedges, to identify assets and liabilities denominated in other than their relevant functional currencies. For such assets and liabilities, we then evaluated the effects of a 10% shift in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar, holding all other assumptions constant. This analysis indicated that our 2016 consolidated net earnings would decline by less than $0.2 billion as a result of such a shift in exchange rates. This analysis excludes any translation impact from changes in exchange rates on our financial results.

|
|
A decrease of operating cash collections of $0.4 billion to $109.3 billion in 2015, primarily due to lower GE segment revenues from sales of goods and services.
|
|
A decrease of operating cash payments of $0.3 billion to $97.2 billion in 2015, primarily driven by decreased inventory spend.
|
|
Further, GE Capital paid dividends totaling $4.3 billion and $3.0 billion to GE in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
|
|
Higher business acquisition activity of $8.3 billion is primarily driven by the 2015 acquisition of Alstom of $10.1 billion. This is partially offset by the 2014 acquisitions of certain Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. life-science businesses for $1.1 billion, Cameron's Reciprocating Compression Division for $0.6 billion and API Healthcare (API) for $0.3 billion.
|
|
This is partially offset by $1.1 billion higher proceeds from principal business dispositions and $0.3 billion higher proceeds from dispositions of property, plant and equipment.
|
|
The 2015 repayment of $2.0 billion of GE unsecured notes. This is partially offset by the 2015 issuance of unsecured notes of $3.4 billion compared with $3.0 billion in 2014.
|
|
An increase of operating cash collections of $4.9 billion to $109.7 billion in 2014. This increase is consistent with comparable GE segment revenue increases from sales of goods and services and higher collections on current receivables. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in progress collections.
|
|
This increase is partially offset by an increase of operating cash payments of $1.0 billion to $97.5 billion in 2014 consistent with cost and expense increases, which was partially offset by the non-recurrence of payments made in 2013, including NBCU LLC deal-related tax payments, and payouts under our long-term incentive plan.
|
|
Further, GE Capital paid dividends totaling $3.0 billion and $6.0 billion to GE in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
|
|
2013 proceeds of $16.7 billion from the sale of our remaining 49% common equity interest in NBCU LLC to Comcast Corporation.
|
|
This was partially offset by lower business acquisition activity of $5.9 billion primarily driven by the 2014 acquisitions of certain Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. life-science businesses for $1.1 billion, Cameron's Reciprocating Compression Division for $0.6 billion and API Healthcare (API) for $0.3 billion compared with the 2013 acquisitions of Avio for $4.4 billion and Lufkin for $3.3 billion.
|
|
A decrease in net repurchases of GE shares for treasury in accordance with our share repurchase program of $8.1 billion.
|
|
The 2013 repayment of $5.0 billion of GE unsecured notes compared with the issuance of $3.0 billion of unsecured notes in 2014.
|
|
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the dividends paid to shareowners of $1.0 billion.

A decrease in accounts payable of $0.4 billion in addition to a decrease in cash generated from earnings and other activity.
|
|
In 2015, we closed the sale of certain of our CLL, Real Estate and Consumer businesses for proceeds of $35.2 billion, $27.7 billion and $16.7 billion, respectively.
|
|
This increase was partially offset by the investment in high quality interest bearing deposits that mature in April 2016 of $10.4 billion.
|
|
Lower aircraft sales deposits of $2.2 billion.
|
|
The net cash payment of $1.7 billion for the 2015 acquisition of Milestone Aviation Group.
|

Lower activity in other assets-investments of $1.2 billion driven by net activity of our equity-method investments.

Higher net repayments of borrowings of $25.7 billion driven primarily by an increase in short-term and long-term debt maturities.
|

Higher dividends paid to GE totaling $4.3 billion and $3.0 billion in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
|
|
An increase in net cash collateral activity with counterparties on derivative contracts of $3.0 billion.
|
|
An increase in cash generated from earnings and other activity.
|
|
These increases were partially offset by a net decrease in tax activity of $3.9 billion driven by net tax payments in 2014 compared with net tax refunds in 2013.
|
|
A net decrease in financing receivables activity of $3.2 billion driven by net originations of financing receivables in 2014 of $0.2 billion, compared with net collections (which includes sales) of financing receivables of $3.0 billion in 2013.
|
|
A net decrease in investment securities activity of $3.4 billion driven by net sales of $0.7 billion in 2014, compared with net sales of $4.1 billion in 2013.
|
|
Lower activity in other assets-investments of $0.5 billion driven by net activity of our equity-method investments.
|
|
Higher net repayments of borrowings, consisting primarily of lower issuances, of $9.2 billion.
|

Lower dividends paid to GE totaling $3.0 billion and $6.0 billion, including special dividends of $1.0 billion and $4.1 billion in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, such assets consisted primarily of loans, aircraft and equipment, and were accounted for at the lower of carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell. |
(b) | Balances at December 31, 2015 included $10,386 million of high quality interest bearing deposits with European branches of global banks, predominantly in the UK, that mature in April 2016. |

Trinity comprises two consolidated entities that hold investment securities, the majority of which are investment-grade, and were funded by the issuance of GICs. The GICs include conditions under which certain holders could require immediate repayment of their investment should the long-term credit ratings of GE Capital fall below AA-/Aa3 or the short-term credit ratings fall below A-1+/P-1. The outstanding GICs are subject to their scheduled maturities and individual terms, which may include provisions permitting redemption upon a downgrade of one or more of GE Capital's ratings, among other things, and are reported in investment contracts, insurance liabilities and insurance annuity benefits.
|
|
A Securitization Entity was created to facilitate securitization of trade receivables that serve as an alternative funding source by providing access to variable funding notes and term markets. The securitization transactions executed with this entity are similar to those used by many financial institutions and all are non-recourse. We provide servicing for substantially all of the assets in this entity.
|
|
Other remaining assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs relate primarily to three categories of entities: (1) joint ventures that lease equipment with $821 million of assets and $818 million of liabilities; (2) other entities that are involved in power generating and leasing activities with $1,151 million of assets and $1,079 million of liabilities; and (3) insurance entities that, among other lines of business, provide property and casualty and workers' compensation coverage for GE with $1,114 million of assets and $532 million of liabilities.

(a)
|
(b)
|
We provide servicing to the trade receivable securitization (TRS) and are contractually permitted to commingle cash collected from customers on financing receivables sold to the TRS investors with our own cash prior to payment to the TRS, provided our short-term credit rating does not fall below A-1/P-1. The TRS also owes us amounts for purchased financial assets and scheduled interest and principal payments. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the amounts of commingled cash owed to the TRS were $1,093 million and $856 million, respectively, and the amounts owed to us by the TRS were $7 million and $2 million, respectively.
|
(c)
|
Asset amounts exclude intercompany receivables for cash collected on behalf of the entities by GE Capital as servicer, which are eliminated in consolidation. Such receivables provide the cash to repay the entities' liabilities. If these intercompany receivables were included in the table above, assets would be higher. In addition, other assets, borrowings and other liabilities exclude intercompany balances that are eliminated in consolidation.
|
(d)
|
Included $737 million and $686 million of receivables at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, originated by Appliances. We require third party debt holder consent to sell these assets. The receivables will be included in assets of businesses held for sale when the consent is received.
