Q3 Delivers Solid Organic Revenue Growth Despite Tariff Pressures
GE HealthCare's third quarter 2025 financials present a picture of healthy top-line growth coupled with persistent headwinds from tariffs. Total revenue rose 6% year-over-year to $5.14 billion, while organic revenue climbed 4%. Demand remained strong in EMEA and the U.S., driven by momentum across all business segments—especially Imaging, Advanced Visualization Solutions (AVS), and Pharmaceutical Diagnostics (PDx).
| Metric | Q3 2025 | Q3 2024 | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenues | $5.14B | $4.86B | +6% |
| Organic Revenue | $5.03B | $4.86B | +4% |
| Net Income Margin | 8.7% | 9.7% | -100 bps |
| Adjusted EBIT Margin | 14.8% | 16.3% | -150 bps |
| Adjusted EPS | $1.07 | $1.14 | -6% |
| Free Cash Flow | $483M | $651M | -26% |
Imaging and Diagnostics Drive Growth as Patient Care Solutions Lags
Within segments, Imaging (up 5% YoY, 4% organic) and Pharmaceutical Diagnostics (up 20% YoY, 10% organic) were standout performers. Advanced Visualization Solutions (AVS) grew 7% YoY (6% organic). In contrast, Patient Care Solutions saw a decline, reflecting shifting healthcare priorities or spending constraints.
| Segment | Revenue ($M) | YoY % Change | EBIT Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Imaging | 2,349 | +5% | 10.2% |
| Advanced Visualization Solutions | 1,301 | +7% | 20.9% |
| Patient Care Solutions | 731 | -6% | 3.7% |
| Pharmaceutical Diagnostics | 749 | +20% | 29.4% |
Margins Under Pressure from Tariffs but Outlook Holds Steady
While volume growth was healthy, profit margins felt the squeeze from ongoing tariff expenses. Net income margin declined 100 basis points and Adjusted EBIT margin slid 150 bps versus last year, largely due to increased tariff costs. Notably, the company indicated that, excluding tariff impacts, both margin and EPS would have surpassed prior-year levels.
Cash flow from operations ($593 million) and free cash flow ($483 million) also declined year-over-year, impacted by working capital needs and higher capital investments. Despite these challenges, GE HealthCare increased the lower end of its full-year Adjusted EPS guidance to $4.51–$4.63 and reaffirmed other financial targets, including organic revenue growth of approximately 3% and free cash flow of at least $1.4 billion for the full year.
Strategic Initiatives and Innovations Position GE HealthCare for Future Growth
The quarter was marked by a series of product launches, partnerships, and acquisitions designed to deepen GE HealthCare's portfolio. Recent highlights include:
- 14-year Care Alliance for advanced imaging solutions
- Launch of CareIntellect for Perinatal and Carestation 850 anesthesia delivery system
- FDA 510(k) clearance for Revolution™ Vibe CT system, with the first install in France
- Exclusive licensing for PYLARIFY® prostate cancer imaging agent in Japan
- Planned acquisition of icometrix, expanding brain MRI solutions
- Distribution agreement with CDL Nuclear for Flyrcado cardiac PET imaging
GE HealthCare's robust pipeline, strengthened by sustained R&D investment and strategic deals, supports the leadership's confidence in accelerating top- and bottom-line growth going forward—even as tariff headwinds are set to intensify through the rest of 2025.
Investor Takeaway: Strength in Innovation and Execution, But Margin Watch Remains Key
GE HealthCare is demonstrating resilience and market share gains in its core franchises, even as tariff-induced cost pressures are set to persist and possibly intensify. For investors, the combination of robust organic growth, innovation-led differentiation, and a reaffirmed guidance signals underlying business health. But sustained attention on margin performance and cash conversion will be crucial, especially as tariff impacts rise in late 2025.
As always, understanding the balance between revenue momentum, profitability, and innovation will be central for those considering GE HealthCare’s trajectory as it navigates a complex, tariff-charged global landscape.
