Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this release and certain of our other public communications and SEC filings may constitute “forward-looking statements” that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are based on our current assumptions regarding future business and financial performance and condition. These statements by their nature address matters that are uncertain to different degrees, such as our expected future business and operating results and opportunities; our progress as an independent company; the increased demand for our products and services, the roles we expect them to play in the energy transition and our ability to meet those demands and execute those roles; our business strategy and the benefits we expect to realize; our expected operational improvements; our expectations regarding the energy transition; our investments; our expected cash generation; our capital allocation strategies; and our commitment to maintaining an investment grade rated balance sheet. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” and similar expressions, may identify such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement in this release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this release are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results, cash flows, or results of operations and could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements, including but not limited to:

  • Changes in macroeconomic and market conditions and market volatility, including risk of recession, inflation, supply chain constraints or disruptions, interest rates, the value of securities and other financial assets, oil, natural gas and other commodity prices and exchange rates, and the impact of such changes and volatility on the Company’s business operations, financial results and financial position;
  • Global economic trends, competition and geopolitical risks, including impacts from the ongoing geopolitical conflicts (such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and conflict in the Middle East), demand or supply shocks from events such as a major terrorist attack, natural disasters or actual or threatened public health pandemics or other emergencies, or an escalation of sanctions, tariffs or other trade tensions, and related impacts on our supply chains and strategies;
  • Actual or perceived quality issues or safety failures related to our complex and specialized products, solutions and services;
  • Market developments or customer actions that may affect our ability to achieve our anticipated operational cost savings and implement initiatives to control or reduce operating costs;
  • Significant disruptions in the Company’s supply chain, including the high cost or unavailability of raw materials, components, and products essential to our business, and significant disruptions to our manufacturing and production facilities and distribution networks;
  • Our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel;
  • Our ability to obtain, maintain, protect and effectively enforce our intellectual property rights;
  • Our capital allocation plans, including the timing and amount of dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions, organic investments, and other priorities;
  • Downgrades of our credit ratings or ratings outlooks, or changes in rating application or methodology, and the related impact on the Company’s funding profile, costs, liquidity and competitive position;
  • Shifts in market and other dynamics related to electrification, decarbonization or sustainability;
  • The amount and timing of our cash flows and earnings, which may be impacted by macroeconomic, customer, supplier, competitive, contractual and other dynamics and conditions;
  • Actions by our joint venture arrangements, consortiums, and similar collaborations with third parties for certain projects that result in additional costs and obligations;
  • Any reductions or modifications to, or the elimination of, governmental incentives or policies that support renewable energy and energy transition innovation and technology;
  • Our ability to develop and introduce new technologies to meet market demand and evolving customer needs;
  • Changes in law, regulation or policy that may affect our businesses, such as trade policy and tariffs, regulation and incentives related to sustainability, climate change (including the impact or status of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 and other policies), environmental, health and safety laws, and the effects of tax law changes;
  • Our ability and challenges to manage the transition as a newly stand-alone public company or achieve some or all of the benefits we expect to achieve from such transition;
  • The risk of an active trading market not developing or being sustained or significant volatility in our stock price;
  • The impact related to information technology, cybersecurity or data security breaches at GE Vernova or third parties.

These or other uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements, and these and other factors are more fully discussed in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections included in our information statement dated March 8, 2024, which was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 8, 2024 as may be updated from time to time in our SEC filings and as posted on our website at www.gevernova.com/investors/fls. There may be other factors not presently known to GE Vernova or which we currently consider to be immaterial that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement that we make. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements except as required by applicable law or regulation. This press release also includes certain forward-looking projected financial information that is based on current estimates and forecasts. Actual results could differ materially.
