See Notes to Condensed, Consolidated Financial Statements. 3 ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued). GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION AND CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES NOTES TO CONDENSED, CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. The accompanying condensed quarterly financial statements represent the adding together of General Electric Capital Corporation and all majority-owned and controlled affiliates (collectively called "the Corporation" or "GECC"). All significant transactions among the parent and consolidated affiliates have been eliminated. Certain prior period data have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 2. The condensed consolidated quarterly financial statements are unaudited. These statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary by management to present a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. 3. The Corporation has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Among other things, this Statement distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings, based on control of the transferred assets. SFAS No. 125 applies to all transactions occurring after December 31, 1996; thus, adoption did not have an effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Corporation. 4 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. OVERVIEW Net earnings for the first quarter of 1997 were $697 million, a $92 million (15%) increase over the first quarter of 1996. The Corporation's contribution to its parent, General Electric Capital Services, Inc. ("GECS"), after payment of dividends on its variable cumulative preferred stock, was $679 million, a $93 million (16%) increase over the comparable 1996 period. Earnings of the lending, leasing and equipment management businesses are significantly influenced by the level of invested assets, the related financing spreads (the excess of rates earned -- yields -- over rates on borrowings) and the quality of those assets. The increase in net earnings for these businesses principally resulted from a higher average level of invested assets as well as increased financing spreads, reflecting both higher yields and lower borrowing rates. Earnings growth from the consumer savings and insurance operations also contributed to the increase in net earnings, principally reflecting the effects of acquisitions during 1996. These increases were partially offset by higher losses associated with the Corporation's equity investment in Montgomery Ward Holding Corp. The Specialty Insurance segment added to the increase in net earnings primarily due to increased premium and investment income. OPERATING RESULTS EARNED INCOME from all sources was $7,773 million for the first quarter of 1997, a 38% increase compared with $5,620 million for the first quarter of 1996. Earned income from the equipment management, consumer services, mid-market financing and specialized financing businesses increased $2,077 million (40%) over the comparable prior-year period. A significant portion of this increase was the contribution provided by the computer equipment businesses and the consumer savings and insurance businesses acquired during 1996. The increase also reflected a higher average level of invested assets, resulting from both origination volume and acquisitions of portfolios and businesses. Earned income of the Specialty Insurance segment increased $104 million (22%) to $571 million for the first quarter of 1997 compared with the first quarter of 1996 reflecting growth in premium and investment income. INTEREST EXPENSE for the first quarter of 1997 was $1,711 million, 3% higher than for the first quarter of 1996. The increase reflected the effects of higher average borrowings used to finance asset growth, offset by the effects of lower average interest rates. The composite interest rate on the Corporation's borrowings for the first quarter of 1997 was 6.02% compared with 6.38% in the first quarter of 1996. OPERATING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES were $3,025 million for the first quarter of 1997, a 76% increase over the first quarter of 1996. The increase primarily reflected costs associated with businesses and portfolios acquired over the past year and higher investment levels. Included in this increase are costs of sales and services of the computer equipment businesses acquired in 1996. INSURANCE LOSSES AND POLICYHOLDER AND ANNUITY BENEFITS increased 87% to $1,149 million for the first quarter of 1997, compared with $615 million for the first quarter of 1996. The increase primarily reflected the consumer savings and insurance businesses acquired in 1996 and growth in origination volume. PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON FINANCING RECEIVABLES increased to $312 million for the first quarter of 1997 from $213 million for the first quarter of 1996. These provisions principally related to private-label and bank credit cards in the Consumer Services segment which are discussed below under Portfolio Quality. The increase principally reflects higher average receivable balances as well as increased delinquencies in the consumer portfolio, consistent with industry experience. 5 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued). DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION OF BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT AND EQUIPMENT ON OPERATING LEASES increased $76 million (15%) to $565 million for the first quarter of 1997 compared with $489 million for the first quarter of 1996. The increase was principally the result of higher levels of equipment on operating leases, primarily reflecting a shift in auto lease volume from financing leases to operating leases as well as origination volume and acquisition growth. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES was $301 million for the first quarter of 1997 (an effective tax rate of 30.2%), compared with $289 million for the first quarter of 1996 (an effective tax rate of 32.3%). The higher provision for income taxes reflected increased pre-tax earnings subject to statutory rates. The decrease in the 1997 effective tax rate resulted primarily from increased tax credits and decreases in taxes on non-U.S. income. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Other Assets includes $228 million at March 29, 1997, representing the Corporation's noncontrolling investment in common stock of Montgomery Ward Holding Corp. ("MWHC"), down from $314 million at December 31, 1996. During the first quarter of 1997, MWHC reported losses from operations, and the Corporation's investment was reduced for its share of such losses. In addition to the investment in MWHC common stock, the Corporation engages in various ordinary course of business financing transactions with MWHC and affiliates. At March 29, 1997, such investments, primarily financing receivables from MWHC and affiliates, amounted to approximately $880 million, an increase of $133 million from December 31, 1996, primarily resulting from increased inventory financing. These investments were all performing in accordance with their terms at March 29, 1997. No impairment writedown was considered necessary for investments in or financing receivables with MWHC and affiliates at March 29, 1997. In addition to the direct transactions with MWHC and affiliates, the Corporation also provides financing to customers of MWHC and affiliates through GE Capital's wholly-owned affiliate, Montgomery Ward Credit Corporation. PORTFOLIO QUALITY THE PORTFOLIO OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES, before allowance for losses, decreased to $99.8 billion at March 29, 1997 from $102.4 billion at the end of 1996. Financing receivables are the financing segment's largest asset and its primary source of revenues. Related allowances for losses at March 29, 1997, aggregated $2.6 billion (2.63% of receivables - the same as at the end of 1996) and are, in management's judgment, appropriate given the risk profile of the portfolio. A discussion about the quality of certain elements of the portfolio of financing receivables follows. "Nonearning" receivables are those that are 90 days or more delinquent and "reduced earning" receivables are commercial receivables whose terms have been restructured to a below-market yield. CONSUMER RECEIVABLES, primarily credit card and personal loans and auto loans and leases, were $44.5 billion at March 29, 1997, a decrease of $1.7 billion from the end of 1996. Nonearning receivables increased to $939 million at March 29, 1997, from $926 million at December 31, 1996. Write-offs of consumer receivables increased to $293 million for the first quarter of 1997, compared with $190 million for the first quarter of 1996. This increase was primarily attributable to higher average receivable balances resulting from a combination of origination volume and acquisitions of businesses and portfolios as well as higher delinquencies, consistent with overall industry experience. COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS classified as financing receivables were $11.9 billion at March 29, 1997, compared with $12.1 billion at year-end 1996. Nonearning and reduced earning receivables increased to $179 million at March 29, 1997, from $158 million at December 31, 1996. Write-offs of commercial real estate loans were $6 million for the first quarter of 1997, compared with $10 million for the first quarter of 1996. At March 29, 1997, the commercial real estate portfolio also included, in other assets, $1.6 billion of assets acquired for resale from various financial institutions (the same as at year-end 1996) and $2.4 billion of investments in real estate ventures ($2.5 billion at year-end 1996). OTHER FINANCING RECEIVABLES, totaling $43.4 billion at March 29, 1997 ($44.1 billion at December 31, 1996), consisted of a diverse commercial, industrial and equipment loan and lease portfolio. Related nonearning and reduced-earning receivables were $290 million at March 29, 1997, compared with $313 million at year-end 1996. 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued). The Corporation held loans and leases to commercial airlines amounting to $8.4 billion at March 29, 1997, up from $8.2 billion at the end of 1996. OTHER MATTERS As 1997 progresses, management continues to believe that vigilant attention to risk management and controllership and a strong focus on quality - complete satisfaction of customer needs - position it to deal effectively with the increasing competition in an ever-changing global economy. 7 EXHIBIT 12
