Industry Context

GE HealthCare operates in the highly competitive global medical technology industry. The company faces a wide variety of competitors, including manufacturers, third-party distributors, and service providers. Primary global competitors include Siemens Healthineers, Philips Healthcare, Canon, Mindray, and United Imaging. In the PDx business segment, the company primarily competes with Bayer, Bracco, Guerbet, Lantheus, and Curium. The company's ability to compete successfully may be affected by factors such as the introduction of new or more affordable products by competitors, the development of new technology, competitors responding more quickly to new technology, and a failure to satisfy local market conditions and regulations.

Risk Factors

  • Market Risks: Operating in highly competitive markets, competition may increase in the future, and the industry may be disrupted, requiring the company to lower prices or resulting in a loss of market share.
  • Operational Risks: Inability to manage the supply chain or obtain supplies of components or raw materials, which has restricted, and could continue to restrict, the manufacturing of products, cause delays in delivery, or significantly increase costs. Any interruption in the operations of manufacturing facilities, or its suppliers' or customers' facilities, may impair the ability to deliver products or provide services. Reliance on third parties to help perform logistics, transportation, shipping, warehousing, and services functions on its behalf, and disruptions at these third-party providers could adversely affect its business.
  • Financial Risks: Significant postretirement benefit liabilities, including pension, healthcare, and life insurance benefits obligations, and the actual costs and related cash flows of these obligations are uncertain and could exceed current estimates. Level of indebtedness, as well as its general ability to comply with covenants under debt instruments, could adversely affect its business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.
  • Regulatory Risks: Subject to stringent privacy laws and information security policies and regulations. Failure to comply with the FCPA and similar anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws globally has resulted and could continue to result in civil or criminal sanctions and adversely affect its business. Subject to anti-kickback and false claims laws, and failure to comply with these laws could adversely affect its business. Subject to antitrust and competition laws that can result in sanctions and conditions on the way the company conducts its business.
