GE Vernova Recommends Shareholders Reject “Mini-Tender” Offer by TRC Capital Investment Corporation

5 min read

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (May 10, 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced that it received notice of an unsolicited “mini-tender” offer by TRC Capital Investment Corporation (TRC Capital) to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of GE Vernova common stock, which represents approximately 0.4% of the shares outstanding, at a price of $155.00 per share in cash. TRC Capital’s offer price is 7.39% less than the $167.36 closing price per share of GE Vernova’s common stock on May 7, 2024, the last trading day before the mini-tender offer appears to have commenced.

GE Vernova does not endorse TRC Capital’s unsolicited mini-tender offer and recommends that GE Vernova shareholders not tender their shares in the offer because the offer is at a price below the current market price for GE Vernova’s shares. TRC Capital has included in the terms of its offer a condition that the closing price of GE Vernova’s shares must not decrease by more than 5%. As a result, unless TRC Capital decides to waive this condition, GE Vernova shareholders who tender their shares in the offer would receive a below-market price for GE Vernova’s shares through the tender offer. The offer is also subject to a number of other conditions.

GE Vernova is not affiliated or associated in any way with TRC Capital, its mini-tender offer or the offer documentation. TRC Capital has made many similar mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. Mini-tender offers seek to acquire not more than 5% of a company’s outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules that apply to offers for more than 5% of a company's outstanding shares.

The SEC has cautioned investors about mini-tender offers, stating that mini-tender offers “have been increasingly used to catch investors off guard,” and that investors “may end up selling their securities at below-market prices.” The SEC's guidance to investors on mini-tender offers is available at https://www.sec.gov/reportspubs/investor-publications/investorpubsminitendhtm.html.

Shareholders should obtain current market quotations for their shares, consult with their broker or financial advisor, and exercise caution with respect to TRC Capital’s mini-tender offer. GE Vernova recommends that shareholders who have not responded to TRC Capital’s offer take no action. Shareholders who have already tendered their shares may withdraw them at any time prior to 12:01 a.m. New York City time, on June 7, 2024, according to TRC Capital’s offering documents.

GE Vernova encourages brokers and dealers, as well as other market participants, to review the SEC's letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosure available at https://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm.

GE Vernova requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to TRC Capital’s mini-tender offer for shares of GE Vernova's common stock.

Fuel rods manufactured by GE Vernova’s Nuclear Fuel business to be evaluated at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

5 min read

WILMINGTON, N.C. (May 9, 2024) - High burnup fuel rods, manufactured by GE Vernova’s Nuclear Fuel business, Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF), have been delivered to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for examination after commercial operation. The rods completed three full cycles of operation at a U.S. nuclear power plant.

“This shipment of these rods is another milestone in the drive to develop the next generation of even safer and more reliable fuel,” said Mike Chilton, Executive Vice President, GNF. “We are proud to be part of this collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy to benefit the entire industry.”

“This fuel shipment to Oak Ridge National Laboratory is an important step in GNF’s efforts to commercialize their high burnup fuel,” said Frank Goldner, a nuclear engineer within DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy. “High burnup fuels are expected to enhance the performance of today’s reactors and will help us on our path to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.”

The fuel rods were manufactured at GNF’s Wilmington, NC facility. Evaluation of the rods will help provide GNF and DOE with valuable information about high burnup fuel, a key goal of DOE’s Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) program.

Higher burnup fuel is expected to further enhance nuclear safety by enabling fuel to remain in the reactor core for longer periods of time before it is removed for long-term storage. It is anticipated that fewer bundles will support improved fuel cycle economics and power uprates. The post-irradiation examinations performed by ORNL support GNF’s development, engineering and licensing efforts to ensure the continued safe and reliable performance of fuel under expanded operating conditions.

GE Vernova collaborates with TECO to enhance Taiwan's power grid with advanced STATCOM technology

7 min read
  • Groundbreaking of Taiwan Power Company’s key substations in central Taiwan, installed with GE Vernova’s advanced ±200 Mvar STATCOM systems

  • GE Vernova will deliver the STATCOM system and transformer solution, while TECO will manage civil work and overall site operations

  • STATCOM deployment will support Taiwan’s sustainable energy goals by facilitating the integration of more renewable energy, while enhancing grid stability

Changua County, TAIWAN (May 7, 2024) - GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business (NYSE:GEV), together with TECO Electric and Machinery Co (TECO) celebrated the ground breaking of the ZhangGong Step-up Substation and the YongXing Switchyard in central Taiwan in Changhua County. The substations, owned by Taiwan Power Company will be installed with two units of GE Vernova’s ±200 Mvar STATCOM (Static Synchronous Compensator) systems, following the closure of a deal between the company and TECO in early 2024.

GE Vernova plans to deliver the STATCOM system and transformer solution, while TECO will manage civil work and overall site operations. The STATCOMs installed at these substations, which are connected via a 161 kV transmission line, are intended to facilitate the integration of more renewable energy into the area, as well as other regions in Taiwan, while enhancing the overall stability of Taiwan’s grid.

Changhua County is a key hub for diverse renewable energy projects—solar, wind, and hydro power. Beyond renewables, the county is home to a number of major electronics manufacturers, as well as food processing and agricultural industries.1 With the increasing proportion of renewable energy, STATCOMs are expected to assume a crucial role in maintaining the stability of power flow within the region.

Mr. Pin Chang, President from Intelligence Energy Business Group of TECO said, “TECO has outstanding electromechanical technology and a proven track record in the field of electromechanical engineering. Through its collaboration with GE Vernova, we can enhance Taiwan's renewable power grid and ensure a more stable electricity supply.”

Shailesh Mishra, Regional Leader for GE Vernova’s Grid System Integration business in Asia Pacific, said, “We are honoured to contribute to Taiwan's renewable energy goals through the deployment of our advanced STATCOM technology. This collaboration with TECO underscores our commitment to sustainable energy solutions that drive positive change on a global scale.”

Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, produce power intermittently. Consequently, when renewable energy sources are not producing power, the power grid can become unbalanced. This volatility can lead to voltage fluctuations that potentially harm equipment and disrupt power supply. Here, the STATCOM, a type of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS), comes into play. By regulating voltage and reactive power, the STATCOM ensures the power grid's sustained reliability and efficiency, particularly when utilizing higher amounts of renewable energy.

GE Vernova releases AI-powered autonomous inspection software designed to transform energy asset inspections

7 min read
  • Autonomous Inspection is a cloud-based computer vision software program that leverages AI/ML algorithms to automate manual-intensive processes and help enable faster, safer, and more cost-effective inspections and monitoring

  • Brings visual data and insights to GE Vernova’s Asset Performance Management (APM) and helps accelerate progress on digital transformation and energy transition goals

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (May 2, 2024)GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV)—a global leader in electrification, decarbonization, and energy solutions—today announced the launch of Autonomous Inspection, a cloud-based computer vision software solution designed to automate the manual inspection and monitoring of industrial assets by utilizing image capture devices and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms. This new software integrates with select applications within GE Vernova’s Asset Performance Management (APM), a suite of software and services designed to help asset performance and operations and maintenance (O&M) efficiency across equipment, plant, and an entire fleet. Designed to be industry-agnostic, Autonomous Inspection can help users in energy generation and other industries access and act on visual data and insights within APM applications to improve asset and operational outcomes.

"In the energy industry, computer vision is not just about seeing, it’s about foresight. Autonomous Inspection is the eyes of our APM suite and is powered by AI technology that turns images into rich data that can help power insights to transform how we safeguard, optimize, and propel the future of energy," said Linda Rae, General Manager of GE Vernova’s Power & Energy Resources Software business. “Digitalizing operations has helped customers in quality, safety, and performance improvements, as well as emission management.”

Despite significant digital progress witnessed by the energy industry, traditional manual asset inspection processes often continue to slow momentum and pose challenges. They are often resource intensive, prone to safety risks and errors, and difficult to scale. Furthermore, they are fast becoming unsustainable due to the rapidly changing energy landscape with decentralization of assets due to renewables sources, workforce availability challenges, and tougher generation requirements.

Autonomous Inspection is designed to support and contribute to the digital transformation of the energy industry in multiple ways, including:

  • Accelerating operational excellence: By removing bottlenecks like manual-intensive and siloed inspection workflows through automation, a major oil and gas firm was able to reduce inspection review time for corrosion images from two weeks to 30 minutes using Autonomous Inspection during a pilot.[1]
  • Helping with safety and compliance: Workers need to perform inspections at elevated heights or near heated equipment that pose serious risks to personal safety. With Autonomous Inspection, cameras and AI/ML models can be used to reduce such safety risks. The technology can also lessen the need for inspection-specific travel, as gathered inspection data and insights can be accessed remotely over the cloud. A major European utility is using Autonomous Inspection to monitor critical electrical equipment like transformers and switchyards and facilitate their transition to a remote-enabled, safer, and more efficient asset inspection model.
  • Helping performance goals while transforming: It’s crucial for energy firms to meet their profitability goals while adapting to energy transition needs. According to John Villali, Senior Research Director for IDC Energy Insights, IDC, “Over 20% savings on O&M cost could be realized from leveraging autonomous visual asset inspections.” Autonomous Inspection automates the manual-intensive workflows to help workers save time and effort. It is designed to enable workers to detect defects faster and sends them alerts to enable earlier actions for improving asset uptime.

Additionally, Autonomous Inspection can be useful when it comes to inspecting geographically dispersed assets like solar and wind farms, where a manual inspection approach isn’t effective.

Designed as an industry-agnostic solution, Autonomous Inspection can serve applications in industries beyond energy generation. The cloud-based, AI-powered software has the capability to automate inspection and monitoring workflows, including automated image data collection, processing, integration, analysis, and management. It’s available for a range of use cases, including automated gauge reading, corrosion detection and severity classification, and thermal profiling of equipment. By leveraging computer vision, Autonomous Inspection tackles the traditional inspections bottleneck, enabling smarter, data-driven inspections and helping firms accelerate progress on digitalization and energy transitions goals.

6 min read

WILMINGTON, N.C. (April 29, 2024) - GE Vernova’s Nuclear business (NYSE: GEV), GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH), today announced that it is forming a group of qualified supply chain companies to advance the global deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR). The purpose of the supplier group is to help ensure a reliable, cost effective and innovative process for the manufacture and commercialization of the BWRX-300.

Suppliers who meet pre-defined criteria, customer requirements and demonstrate a willingness to invest in BWRX-300 supply chain capabilities are eligible for selection to the group. The first company to join the group is BWXT Canada Ltd. (BWXT Canada), a global leader in the design, manufacture and service of commercial nuclear components.

“Supplier collaboration is expected to help build capacity and support cost reduction, project schedule goals and scalability as we deploy the BWRX-300 globally,” said Jay Wileman, President & CEO, GEH. “We applaud BWXT Canada for standing firmly behind the BWRX-300 by making commitments and investing in its facilities and supply chain to be best positioned to compete for projects, further bolstering Ontario’s nuclear supply chain. Our collaboration with Ontario Power Generation strengthens Ontario’s position at the forefront of the nuclear industry, fostering economic growth and job creation.”

“We’re proud to spearhead supply chain support for the BWRX-300, as the first member of this exciting group of qualified companies,” said John MacQuarrie, president of BWXT Commercial Operations. “The anticipated global demand for nuclear power was a significant factor in our recent decision to expand our Cambridge manufacturing facility, where we design and manufacture large and heavy nuclear components. Our plans to increase the site’s manufacturing capacity by 50 percent for large components and to invest in advanced manufacturing equipment over the next few years will further position our business to help deliver the BWRX-300 and other reactor technologies for our customers around the world.”

“We are excited about the technical advancements and capacity that is expected to be unlocked through the BWRX-300 qualified supplier group,” said Maví Zingoni, CEO, GE Vernova’s power businesses. “We look forward to expanding the group of qualified suppliers to other companies who share a strong commitment to collaborate around a long-term vision for the deployment of the BWRX-300.”

Ontario Power Generation (OPG), GEH, AtkinsRéalis and Aecon Construction Group have entered into a contract to construct the first BWRX-300 at OPG’s Darlington site. The Province of Ontario is working with OPG on planning and licensing for three additional BWRX-300s at the Darlington site.

In the UK, the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero has awarded GEH a £33.6 million UK Future Nuclear Enabling Fund (FNEF) grant to help accelerate regulatory acceptance of the BWRX-300 which has entered the Generic Design Acceptance process. In Poland, the government has announced decisions-in-principle supporting the construction of 24 BWRX-300 SMRs at six sites.

The BWRX-300 is a key pillar of GE Vernova’s energy transition leadership. In addition to helping customers achieve decarbonization goals, the BWRX-300 is designed to reduce construction and operating costs. Specifically, the BWRX-300 leverages a unique combination of existing fuel, plant simplifications, proven components and a design based on an NRC-certified reactor design.

GE Vernova celebrates Earth Week in Algeria and around the World

5 min read
  • Tree planting at power plants in Algeria underlines GE Vernova’s commitment to long-term environmental sustainability and a lower-carbon future

ALGIERS, Algeria (April 27, 2024)GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) employees joined hands with customer teams to plant 150 trees at 10 power generation facilities across Algeria including Terga, Oumache, and Naama Combined Cycle Power Plants, among others. The activities were held in support of Earth Day. The tree planting was symbolic of not only team spirit and collaboration, but also the dedication of the participants to act as environmental custodians committed to protecting the planet for generations to come.

While Earth Day is observed on April 22, GE Vernova’s staff of more than 80,000 people extended the celebrations during April 20 – 27 not only in Algeria but also at scores of other sites around the world. The activities included community volunteer events such as park and beach clean-up drives, as well as daily acts of sustainability at home and the workplace, such as identifying and reducing wasteful energy use, decreasing consumption of single-use plastics, walking or cycling instead of driving, eating local produce, and much more. The initiatives demonstrate the significance GE Vernova places on environmental sustainability as it continues to lead the energy transition towards a lower-carbon future. The week’s activities also directly tied to GE Vernova’s ambitious target to reach carbon neutral operations for Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

GE Vernova spun-off from GE (NYSE: GE) and began trading as an independent company on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on April 2, 2024. With approximately 55,000 wind turbines and 7,000 gas turbines, GE Vernova's technology base helps generate about 30% of the world's electricity and has a meaningful role to play in the energy transition.

Joseph Anis, President and CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power business in Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), said, “Celebrating Earth Day through a week of service to our planet and communities is an annual tradition at GE Vernova. This year’s activities in observance of Earth Day were particularly special for us as they were our first as an independent company. We were honored to collaborate with our customers across Algeria to undertake tree planting drives, helping to both raise awareness on environmental issues today, and leave a legacy for tomorrow.”

GE Vernova has a strong history of contributing to the development of Algeria’s energy sector by providing power generation, transmission, distribution, and digital solutions. It employs over 300 people in Algeria and its investments in the country include GE Algeria Turbines (GEAT) – a joint venture with Sonelgaz that has manufactured skids and turbine auxiliaries, as well as rolled out gas turbines, steam turbines, and control systems. Sonelgaz and GE Vernova recently also announced the planned expansion of existing capabilities at GEAT to develop grid solutions, further demonstrating a shared commitment to accelerate sustainable energy development, localize industrial capabilities, and support national economic growth goals.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 

The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release are supplemental measures of our performance and our liquidity that we believe help investors understand our financial condition and operating results and assess our future prospects. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, are important supplemental measures that exclude non-cash or other items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and the overall health of our company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors greater transparency to the information used by management for its operational decision-making and allows investors to see our results “through the eyes of management.” We further believe that providing this information assists our investors in understanding our operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. When read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as one basis for financial, operational and planning decisions. Finally, these measures are often used by analysts and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. 

Management recognizes that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes, thereby affecting their comparability from company to company. In order to compensate for these and the other limitations discussed below, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations below and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures follow. Unless otherwise noted, tables are presented in U.S. dollars in millions, except for per-share amounts which are presented in U.S. dollars. Certain columns and rows within tables may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented in this report are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions. 

We believe the organic measures presented below provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, which includes translational and transactional impacts, as these activities can obscure underlying trends.

Organic revenues, EBITDA, and EBITDA Margin by Segment (non-GAAP)(a)Organic revenues (Non-GAAP)

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA margin*, which are adjusted to exclude the effects of unique and/or non-cash items that are not closely associated with ongoing operations provide management and investors with meaningful measures of our performance that increase the period-to-period comparability by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors. We believe Adjusted organic EBITDA* and Adjusted organic EBITDA margin* provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by further excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions and foreign currency, which includes translational and transactional impacts, as these activities can obscure underlying trends. 

We believe these measures provide additional insight into how our businesses are performing, on a normalized basis. However, Adjusted EBITDA*, Adjusted organic EBITDA*, Adjusted EBITDA margin* and Adjusted organic EBITDA margin* should not be construed as inferring that our future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measures adjust.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (non-GAAP)Adjusted Organic EBITDA and adjusted Organic EBITDA Margin (Non-GAAP)

We believe Adjusted net income* and Adjusted net income margin* provide investors with improved comparability of underlying operating results and a further understanding and additional transparency regarding how we evaluate our business. Adjusted net income* also provides management and investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of certain significant items on our earnings. Adjusted net income* excludes non-operating benefit income, certain tax expenses, and unique and/or non-cash items, that can have a material impact on our results. In addition, we may from time to time consider excluding other nonrecurring items to enhance comparability between periods. However, Adjusted net income* and Adjusted net income margin* should not be construed as inferring that our future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measures adjust.

(a) Consists of severance, facility closures, acquisition and disposition, and other charges associated with major restructuring programs. 
(b) Consists of gains and losses resulting from the purchases and sales of business interests and assets. 
(c) Primarily related to the expected return on plan assets, partially offset by interest cost. 

We believe Adjusted earnings (loss) per share* provides investors with improved comparability of underlying operating results and a further understanding and additional transparency regarding how we evaluate our business. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share* also provides management and investors with additional perspective regarding the impact of certain significant items on our per share earnings (loss). Adjusted earnings (loss) per share* excludes non-operating benefit income, certain tax expenses, and unique and/or non-cash items that can have a material impact on our results. In addition, we may from time to time consider excluding other nonrecurring items to enhance comparability between periods. However, Adjusted earnings (loss) per share* should not be construed as inferring that our future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measure adjusts.

(a) Consists of severance, facility closures, acquisition and disposition, and other charges associated with major restructuring programs. 
(b) Consists of gains and losses resulting from the purchases and sales of business interests and assets. 
(c) Primarily related to the expected return on plan assets, partially offset by interest cost. 
(d) Adjusted earnings (loss) per share* amounts are computed independently, and thus, the sum of per-share amounts may not equal the total. 

We believe that free cash flow* provides management and investors with an important measure of our ability to generate cash on a normalized basis. Free cash flow* also provides insight into our ability to produce cash subsequent to fulfilling our capital obligations; however, free cash flow* does not delineate funds available for discretionary uses as it does not deduct the payments required for certain investing and financing activities.

 

Free Cash Flow (Non-GAAP)

 

2024 GUIDANCE: POWER SEGMENT ORGANIC EBITDA MARGIN (NON-GAAP) 
We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measure for organic EBITDA margin* expansion for the Power segment in the 2024 outlook without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of foreign exchange rates.
