Inside the Results

Earnings

GE reported a net loss of $13.57 billion, or $1.35 per share, compared to net income of $3.00 billion, or 30 cents per share, in the year prior. Adjusted EPS was 31 cents, above analysts’ view of 30 cents.

Revenue
Revenue dropped to $29.36 billion from $33.55 billion. On average, analysts expected to see revenue of $34.23 billion.

GE Reports a Net Loss on Divesting Expenses

General Electric fell into a loss for the first quarter, citing charges related to its GE Capital exit, foreign exchange impacts, and weak energy prices.

Although the company was hurt by these factors, it was able to exceed expectations on an adjusted basis.
