CINCINNATI, Ohio – GE Aerospace announced robust financial results for the second quarter of 2025, with significant increases in both revenue and orders, signaling continued strong demand in the commercial aviation sector.
The company reported total revenues of $11.0 billion in the second quarter, a 21% increase from the same period last year. Adjusted revenues, a key measure of underlying performance, also saw a substantial rise of 23% to $10.2 billion. New orders for the quarter reached $11.7 billion, a year-over-year increase of 28%, reflecting ongoing strong demand for the company’s engines and services.
The Commercial Engines & Services (CES) division was a key driver of this growth, with profit margins expanding by 50 basis points to 27.9%. CES now expects to deliver high-teens revenue growth and $8.0 to $8.2 billion of operating profit in 2025, representing roughly $1 billion of operating profit improvement year-over-year. CES expects low-double-digit revenue growth through 2028, with profit growth from higher services volume offsetting headwinds from GE9X costs and research and development spending.
The Defense & Propulsion Technologies (DPT) division reported orders of $2.9 billion for the second quarter, an increase of 24% year-over-year. Revenue hit $2.6 billion, a 7% increase compared to the second quarter of 2024. DPT experienced a slight contraction in margins of 20 basis points, as operating profit margins dropped from 14.3% to 14.1%. For 2025, management expects to see revenues grow 5-10% and for profits to reach $1.1-$1.3 billion.
