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 allow 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.

(a) Includes intersegment sales of $166 million and $103 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(a) Includes intersegment sales of $483 million and $414 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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, when considered with Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA margin*, 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.

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.

2025 GUIDANCE: FREE CASH FLOW (NON-GAAP) 
We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measure expectations and the corresponding GAAP financial measure for free cash flow* in the 2025 guidance without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing for capital expenditures.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measure

Em novembro deste ano, a matriz elétrica brasileira atingiu o marco de mais de 228 GW em capacidade instalada, sendo uma das maiores e mais diversificadas globalmente. A participação de fontes de energia renováveis ​​como hidrelétrica, eólica, solar e biomassa, respondem por mais de 90% do total, fazendo do Brasil o país do G20 que possui a matriz elétrica com maior uso de energias renováveis, de acordo com estudo da Ember Climate. 

Essa realidade é bastante favorável para o país, principalmente no contexto da transição energética, que almeja ajudar no combate às alterações climáticas resultantes do aquecimento global. Uma das maneiras de limitar esse aquecimento é justamente por meio da descarbonização, ponto fundamental da transição.

No Brasil, o setor de energia não é o principal emissor de carbono. De acordo com um estudo da Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (EPE), em 2022, estima-se que a produção e o uso de energia tenham correspondido a apenas 24% das emissões brasileiras de gases de efeito estufa (GEE), número explicado pela matriz energética diversificada e com ampla participação de fontes renováveis. Contudo, a descarbonização do setor elétrico é chave tanto para reduzir ainda mais sua participação direta nas emissões, quanto para apoiar os demais setores que precisam de eletrificação e descarbonização, como o setor de transporte, unindo esforços para ajudar a combater o aquecimento global.

Diante disso, o crescimento de fontes como a eólica e a solar segue como um dos principais pilares da descarbonização, inserindo ainda mais energia renováve na matriz que apoiará as demandas por uma eletrificação eficiente e sustentável. Há algumas décadas, essas fontes – até então consideradas alternativas – ainda não figuravam nas estatísticas de geração de energia com os primeiros projetos sendo iniciados apenas no final dos anos 2000. Hoje, a realidade é bem diferente, e essas mesmas fontes já respondem por mais de 20% da matriz elétrica brasileira, número que deve chegar aos 23% em 2028, segundo a projeção do Operador Nacional do Sistema (ONS).

INTEGRAÇÃO É CHAVE PARA A DESCARBONIZAÇÃO

Espera-se que o crescimento da geração eólica e solar continue especialmente considerando os objetivos da transição energética. Contudo, esse crescimento vem acompanhado de grandes desafios, dada a intermitência característica dessas fontes, por exemplo, considerando que há períodos nos quais os ventos não estão soprando com todo seu potencial e o sol deixa de incidir sobre os parques solares.

Para equilibrar o sistema, outras fontes entram em ação e destacam a importância de seu papel ao complementar a rede elétrica conforme a demanda, fornecendo energia despachável. Uma dessas fontes é a hidráulica, que detém a maior participação na matriz elétrica do país, sendo sua principal fonte de energia renovável há décadas e uma grande aliada da transição energética. Cláudio Trejger, CEO da unidade de Hydro Power para a América Latina, alerta para o fato de que as usinas hidrelétricas brasileiras estão operando há décadas e é fundamental investir também na modernização delas. Esse tipo de serviço ajuda a prolongar a vida útil desses ativos, melhorando a eficiência e otimizando a utilização do recurso hídrico disponível para atender à demanda de eletricidade no país. “Existe uma grande oportunidade para aumentar a potência em várias usinas, porém as geradoras não têm explorado esta possibilidade, pois aguardam a revisão das regras vigentes. A modernização ajuda a aumentar a eficiência e tornar a usina estar disponível por mais tempo, oferecendo maior segurança ao fornecimento de energia. Para isso, nossos times trabalham integrando serviços e tecnologias para otimizar as operações de hidrelétricas como no caso da maior atualização tecnológica da Itaipu Binacional (segunda maior usina hidrelétrica do mundo), e do projeto de modernização da Usina Hidrelétrica de São Simão. Também gostaria de destacar a possibilidade de implantar Usinas Reversíveis, tecnologia oferecida pela GE Vernova, e que pode assumir um importante papel no programa de transição energética do país”, disse Cláudio.

Outra fonte que também tem a capacidade necessária de despacho para complementar as fontes intermitentes e apoiar a atuação da fonte hidráulica, em especial quando o país enfrenta crises hídricas, é o gás natural. Daniel Meniuk, VP de Serviços para América Latina para Gas Power, afirma que “no Brasil, as termelétricas modernas a gás natural, como as usinas do Complexo Azulão e Porto de Sergipe I, fazem a diferença ao ajudar a complementar e a manter nossa rede estável, oferecendo energia segura, confiável e cada dia mais sustentável dada a melhoria constante da tecnologia utilizada." Segundo ele, além de fornecer uma fonte confiável e complementar à geração renovável, as emissões de turbinas a gás podem ser ainda mais reduzidas no futuro usando hidrogênio como combustível e tecnologias de captura de carbono. "No portfólio da GE Vernova, já temos turbinas a gás natural capazes de queimar hidrogênio, de acordo com a demanda do cliente e a infraestrutura da planta. Um exemplo disso ocorre na planta DeBary da Duke Energy, que deve se tornar uma das primeiras usinas de energia em operação comercial a produzir, armazenar e queimar 100% por volume de hidrogênio verde para aplicações relacionadas aos picos de energia", conclui.

MAIS QUE UMA GERAÇAO EFICIENTE, ESTABILIDADE NA ENTREGA

Se a integração de diferentes fontes precisa ser muito bem orquestrada para permitir o crescimento sustentável das fontes renováveis sem prejudicar o abastecimento de energia, gerenciar a qualidade da operação da rede, com foco na estabilidade e segurança da rede elétrica, também é fundamental.

“A rede elétrica é uma das invenções humanas mais complexas que existem. E quando a gente tem mais eólica e solar entrando, a gente tem flutuações de rede e, consequentemente na qualidade da energia que está sendo entregue em todo o país. Por isso, essa rede tem que ser monitorada e condicionada”, afirma Renato Yabiku, CTO para América Latina na unidade de Power Conversion. “A GE Vernova traz um portfólio completo de soluções (hardwares e softwares), desde a geração até a parte de estabilização, seja por meio de programas de orquestração da rede. Como exemplo, destaco os compensadores síncronos, equipamentos que servem justamente para aumentar a capacidade e a estabilidade do Sistema Interligado Nacional (SIN), oferecendo maior qualidade e segurança à transmissão de energia elétrica mesmo em condições adversas. Essa tecnologia ajuda a evitar interrupções e apagões e complementa outras como o STATCOM,  que é uma espécie de inversor conectado à rede para dar potência de forma reativa, contribuindo para a estabilização”, explica.

Nesse sentido, Sergio Binda, Líder de Grid Automation para a GE Vernova na América Latina, reforça que a empresa também possui soluções digitais e integradas com poder de computação aumentada, desenvolvidas para gerenciar a rede, visando maior segurança, confiabilidade, capacidade e resiliência na transmissão de energia. “Quando pensamos em uma solução para a rede, inclusive visando a estabilização, existem tecnologias para dar respostas a eventos como uma falha ou um curto-circuito. Esses pacotes de software, como o GridOS e GridBeats, por exemplo, oferecem modelos adequados para cada um dos equipamentos”, afirma. Binda ainda destaca que essas soluções próprias trazem mais valor e uma resposta mais assertiva e segura para aqueles que geram energia e operam o sistema.

DE OLHO NO FUTURO: INTEGRAÇÃO E NOVAS TECNOLOGIAS

Com base em mais de 130 anos de experiência e um portfólio completo de soluções em geração, transmissão, armazenamento de energia, além de softwares e outras tecnologias digitais focadas em eletrificação e descarbonização, a GE Vernova está posicionada de forma única para acelerar a transição energética. Atualmente, sua base tecnológica instalada ajuda a gerar cerca de um quarto da energia no mundo, posicionando a empresa como líder em toda a cadeia de valor da indústria de energia.

De olho no futuro e ciente da importância de desenvolver novas tecnologias que acompanhem a demanda do planeta por energia confiável, acessível e sustentável, a empresa investe aproximadamente US$ 1 bilhão anualmente em Pesquisa & Desenvolvimento. Além disso, trabalha para que a atuação das diferentes áreas da empresa sob os segmentos de Power, Wind e Electrification, facilitem a integração de tecnologias para solucionar os desafios do setor elétrico no Brasil e ao redor do mundo, contribuindo de forma decisiva para a transição energética global.

Last April, GE Vernova launched as a standalone company with a mission to electrify and decarbonize the world. The catalyst behind the change the company is creating is its 75,000-strong global team — their ideas, their energy, and their commitment. Meet a dozen of the people who helped GE Vernova get off to a running start.

The Enlightener: Vera Silva

“In my mind, there are no two letters that better embody the spirit of innovation — and have always embodied the spirit of innovation, in the past and the future of this country — than ‘GE,’” said Scott Strazik, CEO of GE Vernova, as his company officially completed its spin-off from the GE Corporation in April. In the eight months since, GE Vernova has continued to make good on its commitment to electrify and decarbonize the world. As the company looks forward to another year leading the energy transition, here’s a glance back at the biggest milestones of 2024.

Yesterday, GE Vernova hosted its 2024 Investor Update event in New York City. Given our strong financial trajectory from robust customer demand and better execution, we raised our 2025 guidance and our outlook by 2028. We also framed our capital allocation strategy, announcing that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend and approved an initial share repurchase authorization.

Teesside, the urban region perched on the muddy banks of the River Tees in northeast England, used to be a global beacon of industry. In the mid-19th century, the port of Middlesbrough forged its reputation as “Ironopolis,” boasting nearly 100 blast furnaces that roared away round the clock.

NEW YORK (December 10, 2024) – GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a $0.25 per share quarterly dividend and approved an initial $6 billion share repurchase authorization. The quarterly dividend will be payable on January 28, 2025, to shareholders of record as of December 20, 2024.

Future dividend declarations will be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be based on GE Vernova’s earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, prospects, and other factors. The share repurchase authorization has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

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.”

Financial Outlook
Today, GE Vernova reaffirms its 2024 revenue and free cash flow* guidance and narrows its 2024 adjusted EBITDA margin* guidance range. The company also raises its multi-year financial outlook, previously presented at its Investor Day in March 2024.

(a - Compound annual growth rate through 2028; 2025 is the base year
(b - Represents the expected free cash flow* conversion by 2028

Multi-Year Segment Financial Outlook
GE Vernova also reaffirms its 2024 segment guidance and provides additional multi-year guidance.

Capital Allocation
GE Vernova’s strategic principles for capital allocation include incremental organic investments to drive profitable growth, returning at least one third of cash generation to shareholders, and targeted, bolt-on mergers and acquisitions along with select next-generation technology investments. The GE Vernova Board of Directors has declared a $0.25 per share quarterly dividend, payable on January 28, 2025 to shareholders of record as of December 20, 2024, and approved an initial $6B share repurchase authorization.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this document, the Company sometimes uses information derived from consolidated financial data but not presented in its financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement the Company’s GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure. 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.

2024 and 2025 Guidance: 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 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.
