Strong financial trajectory from robust demand and better execution

NEW YORK (December 10, 2024) – GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV), a unique industry leader enabling customers to accelerate the energy transition, today hosts its 2024 Investor Update event to present its multi-year financial outlook and frame its capital allocation strategy.

“GE Vernova is well-positioned to lead as the investment supercycle for the energy transition gains momentum,” said GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik. “Robust demand for our technologies and services, along with better execution through our lean culture, is driving improved financial results. We are driving growth and innovation with $9 billion in cumulative capex and R&D investments planned through 2028, including an approximately 20 percent increase in R&D spend expected in 2025. With growing revenue, margins, and free cash flow, we are building on our strong foundation and deploying a disciplined capital allocation strategy for shareholder value creation.”

“We are executing our financial strategy, and we now expect to generate at least $14 billion in cumulative free cash flow by 2028,” said GE Vernova CFO Ken Parks. “Our large and growing backlog, with healthy margins from services and better equipment pricing, is fueling our trajectory as we raise our 2025 guidance and outlook by 2028. We remain committed to maintaining an investment grade balance sheet as we make organic investments, pursue targeted M&A, and return at least one third of cash generation to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.”

The reasons the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in this press release and GE Vernova's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and any updates or amendments it makes in future filings.

2024 Guidance and Outlook by 2028: Adjusted EBITDA margin*
We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures expectations and the corresponding GAAP financial measures for adjusted EBITDA margin* in the 2024 guidance and outlook by 2028 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of the costs and timing associated with potential restructuring actions and the impacts of depreciation and amortization.

2024 Guidance: Power segment organic EBITDA margin* expansion​
We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures expectations and the corresponding GAAP financial measure for Power segment organic EBITDA margin* expansion in the 2024 guidance without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of foreign exchange rates.

We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures expectations and the corresponding GAAP financial measure for free cash flow* in the 2024 and 2025 guidance without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing for capital expenditures.

2025-2028 Outlook: Cumulative Free cash flow*​
We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures expectations and the corresponding GAAP financial measure for cumulative free cash flow* for 2025 through 2028 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing for capital expenditures.

Risk and Reward: Meet a Nuclear Safety Engineer Whose Job Is to Predict Risks and Avoid Them

Henneke and team

This February, when the National Academy of Engineering named the 114 Americans it was elevating to engineering’s highest honor, it cited Dennis Henneke, of GE Vernova’s nuclear business, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, for an imposing achievement: “applying probabilistic risk assessment [PRA] to enhance nuclear reactor safety.” The achievement, a kind of engineering grand slam — arcane complexity and vital real-world importance — was not, Henneke says, the result of a lifelong, noble quest.

GE Vernova Foundation announces RENEW Skills Development Program to advance energy transition in Vietnam

10 min read
  • 750,000 USD investment in three-year skilling and upskilling program focused on the energy sector

  • Working with ASSIST and Electric Power University on new curricula and training

Hanoi, Vietnam (November 14, 2024) – As part of its ongoing efforts to support skills development, the GE Vernova Foundation was joined by Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST) and Electric Power University in Hanoi today to announce a 750,000 USD investment in the workforce supporting Vietnam’s energy sector.  The RENEW Skills grant which was awarded to ASSIST will create a three-year skilling and upskilling program focused on university and college students and current technicians with the goal of addressing the skilled labor needs across Vietnam’s renewable energy industry.

Within the next decade, one of the greatest challenges for the energy sector will be the increasing demand for workers with technical skills. The energy sector requires more highly skilled workers than other industries and the largest gap emerging in that workforce around the world is in vocational and technical roles. As Vietnam works to meet its 2050 Net Zero commitment, skilled workers and technicians will play a vital role in building a sustainable energy future. And because of that, and in alignment with the Just Energy Transition Partnership agreement announced in 2022, it is important to invest in new training and educational programs and drive awareness of these critical careers as Vietnam implements its Resource Mobilization Plan.

"Skills-based training is essential for driving the energy transition and advancing the technologies of the future," said Ramesh Singaram, Board Director, GE Vernova Foundation and President & CEO, Gas Power Asia, GE Vernova. "We are proud to collaborate with ASSIST on this important initiative in Vietnam. A skilled workforce is fundamental to a nation's economic growth and social progress. Through this program, we are excited to create new opportunities for economically disadvantaged communities, offering pathways to well-paying jobs that promote financial independence and support the well-being of workers, their families, and our world."

The RENEW Skills Development Program will focus on both the current workforce and the future generations of university and technical vocational college students, by providing access to new curricula and practical training focused on wind energy technology operations and maintenance, grid integration, and workplace safety. Five learning labs, including two Centers of Excellence will be established with educational partners and equipped with modern renewable energy technologies training equipment which will serve as hubs for course development, teacher capacity building and student training. The program anticipates reaching over 4,000 students and current technical workers over the next three years. 

“We are honored to partner with the GE Vernova Foundation and Electric Power University to equip current and future workers with the skills needed for the energy transition,” said Aru David, Regional Director, ASSIST. “At ASSIST, we are dedicated to contributing to inclusive skill development initiatives leading to job opportunities in Vietnam and across Asia. The RENEW Skills Program will not only provide hands-on training and access to modern renewable energy technologies but also ensure that these opportunities reach communities that need them most, helping to build a sustainable, inclusive workforce for Vietnam’s green future.”

Assoc. Prof. Dinh Van Chau, President of Electric Power University, stated that "Electric Power University is honored to collaborate with the GE Vernova Foundation and The Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST) in supporting the energy transition process in Vietnam. The RENEW Skills project provides significant opportunities for students, creating pathways to well-paying employment, particularly within Vietnam's energy sector.

GE Vernova has a long history and strong presence in Vietnam. There are over 1,100 employees in Vietnam who work closely with our customers locally and globally to support the country’s economy. With a robust footprint comprised of manufacturing facilities, repair and service centers, nearly 30% of Vietnam’s electricity needs are met through GE Vernova’s equipment and installed solutions today.

GE Vernova recognizes Vietnam’s unique energy resources and believes that a combination of gas and renewable energy generation is the most effective way to provide reliable energy and reduce carbon emissions. With its expertise in wind power and gas power generation technology, GE Vernova is dedicated to promoting the development of new energy sources and adjustable power solutions, an approach that aligns with Vietnam’s vision of building a new type of energy system that will enable the country to achieve carbon neutrality and create a sustainable, resilient power system for the future.

GE Vernova Foundation announces grants supporting global disaster relief

9 min read
  • $500,000 total in grants to the Spanish Red Cross, CARE, and Team Rubicon, to support recovery efforts in Spain, Vietnam, Poland, and the United States

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (November 14, 2024) – Taking action to help recovery efforts following natural disasters in Asia, Europe, and the United States, today the GE Vernova Foundation announced a total of $500,000 in donations to CARE, Team Rubicon and the Spanish Red Cross. The donations to CARE will support those affected by Typhoon Yagi in Vietnam, the country’s strongest typhoon in three decades, and Storm Boris, which caused extensive flooding in central Europe, with southwestern Poland being one of the hardest hit areas. The collaboration with Team Rubicon will aid families recovering from Hurricane Milton in Florida, which devastated large areas across the state, and the grant to the Spanish Red Cross will help recovery efforts in Spain following severe flooding in the province of Valencia.

“We are proud to work with three impactful organizations in CARE, Team Rubicon, and the Spanish Red Cross who are helping those in need following devastating storms across the globe,” said Kristin Carvell, President, GE Vernova Foundation and Chief Communications Officer, GE Vernova. “We have many employees in Vietnam, Poland, Florida, and Spain, and the GE Vernova Foundation will continue to support communities where our employees live and work.”

In Vietnam, CARE is supporting ongoing relief efforts following Typhoon Yagi, with this funding focusing on impacted families in two of the most affected communities of the Cao Bang Province: Phan Thanh and Dinh Phung. They are doing this by providing multi-purpose cash assistance, household kits, and renovation of school facilities. It is anticipated that the GE Vernova Foundation’s $100,000 in funding will support 300 families, or approximately 1,200 individuals in Vietnam. In Poland, CARE will support over 10 local aid distribution centers with much needed coordination and distribution and provide case management assistance to vulnerable populations not able to access aid, including Ukrainian refugees. It is estimated through these efforts the GE Vernova Foundation’s $100,000 in funding will support over 5,000 people.

“We are very grateful to the GE Vernova Foundation for helping CARE provide relief in communities that are bearing the brunt of the extreme weather events that climate change is making increasingly frequent,” said Deepmala Mahla, CARE’s Chief Humanitarian Officer. “CARE focuses on empowering communities through local partnerships, recognizing that local organizations understand the unique challenges and needs of their regions. Our humanitarian responses are culturally relevant and sustainable. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of aid but also builds local capacity, fostering long-term resilience in vulnerable communities.”

In Florida, Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves global communities before, during and after disasters and crises, will assist communities in some of the hardest hit areas impacting the most vulnerable populations. The $200,000 in funding from the GE Vernova Foundation will support Team Rubicon’s large-scale Greyshirt volunteer response involving removing debris, tarping roofs, clearing roads, and mucking and gutting flooded homes. These often high-cost and labor-intensive services are provided at no cost for survivors in areas most impacted by this storm.

"We are grateful for the support of the GE Vernova Foundation as our Greyshirt volunteers continue to serve those impacted by Hurricane Milton in Florida," said Jeff Byard, Vice President of Operations at Team Rubicon. "This investment in our mission enables Team Rubicon to stay in communities for longer, reaching more disaster survivors in need of assistance."

The Spanish Red Cross mobilized immediately following devastating floods across the hardest hit regions of Spain, including Comunidad Valenciana, Andalucía, Castilla la Mancha and Murcia. They have deployed emergency response teams in high-risk areas, setting up temporary shelters and caring for the most vulnerable, especially the elderly, and are distributing basic aid like food, water, blankets, hygiene kits and providing first aid and psychosocial support. The Spanish Red Cross has also mobilized an emergency childcare team to provide assistance to families in shelters. The GE Vernova Foundation’s $100,000 grant will support the Spanish Red Cross’ continued response to provide immediate needs throughout the impacted region.

“We are deeply grateful for the invaluable support of The GE Vernova Foundation during the DANA emergency,” said Jaime Gregori, Fundraising and Corporate Alliances Director, Spanish Red Cross. “Their generous contribution plays a crucial role in helping us to provide immediate relief and long-term recovery for affected communities.

Modernizing Iraq’s energy system while reducing carbon intensity

Share

The Besmaya power plant is the largest in Iraq. Recent upgrades there have resulted in greater fuel efficiency, increasing output while reducing emissions for the same level of power generation. In a country with a high carbon intensity for electricity, and where access to reliable electricity remains a priority, the project is a significant contribution to the modernization of Iraq’s energy system. We take a look at how it was delivered and the bigger implications for the energy transition in Iraq.
