Defense and propulsion technologies came in below expectations at $2.32 billion, compared to forecasts of $2.42 billion.

“GE Aerospace had a strong start to 2025 with orders and revenue up double digits, driven by commercial services, and adjusted EPS up 60%. We continue to drive improvements through FLIGHT DECK, tackling supply chain constraints head on to accelerate deliveries throughout 2025," said GE Aerospace Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp, Jr.
