GE on Track to Deliver Record Year; Well Positioned for Uncertain Economy

NEW YORK, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- GE remains on target to deliver earnings of
about $12.7 billion and earnings per share of $1.27 in 2000, both up about 19%
over 1999 and in-line with analysts' consensus estimates, GE Chairman and CEO
John F. Welch told analysts in a meeting here tonight.

Mr. Welch also said that the company expected to report about $130 billion in
revenues, up 17% from last year, and an operating margin rate of about 18.5%. He
noted that the company was on track to report more than $14 billion of free cash
flow, up more than 20% over 1999, and an increase in return on total capital by
150 basis points to nearly 27%.

"We're on pace to conclude another year of record results," Mr. Welch said.
Final results are expected to be reported in mid-January.

Mr. Welch said that GE is comfortable with analysts' earnings per share
estimates of around $1.50 in 2001, in a reasonable economy and excluding the
impact of the Honeywell acquisition. Mr. Welch also discussed events in the
fourth quarter 2000 that have led to some economic uncertainty. He also noted
that even in a moderate recession GE would expect to grow earnings per share
double-digit, in part due to the strength of its longer-cycle businesses and the
resilience of its business model. "The robustness of the GE model really shines
during slower parts of the business cycle -- our global diversity, service
growth, quality efforts and e-Business transformation have reduced GE's
sensitivity to the business cycle," Mr. Welch said.

Mr. Welch also reviewed the significant opportunities the acquisition of
Honeywell provides GE shareowners and customers. The strong technology base at
Honeywell and its attractive product and service positions are complementary to
four of GE's businesses -- Aircraft Engines, Industrial Systems, Plastics and
Power Systems. As Honeywell announced, its fourth quarter results will fall
below Honeywell analyst expectations. However, it appears from GE's preliminary
integration planning efforts that the long-term opportunities for synergies
between the two companies could be more than 50% higher than earlier
expectations -- approaching $2.5 billion annually when the integration is
complete.

Mr. Welch stated that the companies are in the process of seeking regulatory and
Honeywell shareholder approvals and hope to close the transaction in the first
quarter next year. Following completion of the transaction, GE expects to
recognize a pre-tax charge of about $4 billion for the cost of actions relating
to the transaction and designed to improve the combined performance of the
businesses. Mr. Welch confirmed the transaction should increase GE's ongoing
earnings by at least 10 cents in the first full year of combined operations.
