GE facilitates voluntary supply chain finance programs that materially scale supplier payment options; supplier invoices paid through third-party programs were $1,927 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 (up from $1,545 million in 2025). These programs provide participating suppliers the option to sell GE receivables to third parties, and GE reports it has no costs associated with the program. The volume and growth of these programs (primarily in CES) indicate broader supplier financing usage to support production and aftermarket supply chains, and they affect reported accounts payable and progress collections dynamics. Use of these programs may reduce supplier working capital constraints but can change the timing and parties in cash flow settlement.
