FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. The public communications and SEC filings of GE Vernova Inc. (the Company, GE Vernova, our, we or us) may contain statements related to future, not past, events. These forward-looking statements often address our current expected future business and financial performance and condition based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "see," "will," "would," "estimate," "forecast," "target," "preliminary," "range," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain, such as the benefits we expect from our lean operating model, including cost and operational efficiencies and improvements; our expectations regarding the energy transition; the demand for our products and services, their role in the energy transition and our ability to meet those demands; our expectations of future increased business, revenues and operating results; our ability to innovate and anticipate and address customer demands; our underwriting and risk management; our ability to manage inflationary pressures; benefits we expect to receive from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA); our acquisitions and dispositions; our investments in new product development, joint ventures and other collaborations with third parties; our restructuring program to reduce operational costs; our ability to novate or assign credit support provided by General Electric Company; litigation, arbitration and governmental proceedings involving us; the sufficiency and expected uses of our cash, liquidity, and financing arrangements; and our credit ratings. Any forward-looking statement in this report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Although we believe that the forward-looking statements contained in this report 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, 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 product or safety failures related to our complex and specialized products, solutions, and services, the time required to address them, costs associated with related project delays, repairs or replacements, and the impact of any contractual claims for damages or other legal claims asserted in connection therewith, some of which may be for significant amounts, on our financial results, competitive position or reputation;
•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 any 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, which depends on many factors, including the ability to obtain any required permits, licenses, and registrations;
•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, environmental, health and safety laws, and 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 being sustained for our securities or significant volatility in our stock price; and
•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 elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and 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 attached as Exhibit 99.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 8, 2024 (the Information Statement), 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 us 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 may be required by law or regulation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A). The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated and combined financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and corresponding notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes to be relevant to understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The below discussion should be read alongside the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our audited combined financial statements and corresponding notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Information Statement. 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. Unless otherwise noted, statements related to changes in operating results relate to the corresponding period in the prior year.
In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated and combined financial data but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section for the reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
TRANSITION TO STAND-ALONE COMPANY
Financial Presentation Under GE Ownership. We completed our separation from General Electric Company (GE), which now operates as GE Aerospace, on April 2, 2024 (the Spin-Off). In connection with the Spin-Off, GE distributed all of the shares of our common stock to its shareholders and we became an independent company. Historically, as a business of GE, we relied on GE to manage certain of our operations and provide certain services, the costs of which were either allocated or directly billed to us. Accordingly, our historical costs for such services may not necessarily reflect the actual expenses we would have incurred, or will incur, as an independent company and may not reflect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had we been a separate, stand-alone company during the historical periods presented. See Note 1 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.
Production Tax Credit Investments. Our Financial Services business offers a wide range of financial solutions to customers and projects that utilize our Power and Wind products and services. These solutions historically included making minority investments in projects, often through common or preferred equity investments where we generally seek to exit as soon as practicable once a project achieves commercial operation. Many such investments are in renewable energy U.S. tax equity vehicles that generate various tax credits, including production tax credits (PTCs), which can be used to offset an equity partner’s tax liabilities in the U.S. and support the overall target return on investment. In connection with the Spin-Off, GE retained all renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments of $1.2 billion and any tax attributes from historical tax equity investing activity. We will manage these investments under the Framework Investment Agreement. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2024, in connection with GE retaining the renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments, we recognized a $0.1 billion benefit, recorded in Cost of equipment, related to deferred intercompany profit from historical equipment sales to the related investees. See Notes 11, 21 and 23 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.
DISPOSITION AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY. During the second quarter of 2024, our Steam Power business completed the sale of part of its nuclear activities to Electricité de France S.A. (EDF). In connection with the disposition, we received net cash proceeds of $0.6 billion, which is subject to customary working capital and other post-closing adjustments. As a result, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $0.9 billion recorded in Other income (expense) – net in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). See Notes 3, 15, 16 and 19 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.
In the second quarter of 2023, our Gas Power business acquired Nexus Controls, a business specializing in aftermarket control system upgrades and controls field services. See Note 8 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.
2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 4
ARBITRATION REFUND. In June 2024, we received $306 million in cash, which represented the return of cash payments we previously made relating to two partial withdrawal liability assessments issued by a multiemployer pension plan (Fund) to which we contribute, plus interest on such amounts. We challenged the assessments in arbitration, but under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), we were required to make monthly payments from May 2019 to September 2023 while the matter was arbitrated. In December 2023, an arbitrator ruled that we were exempt from the alleged liability, a decision that was appealed in January 2024 in a federal court. The arbitration award triggered a legal obligation for the Fund to return the payments to us with interest, which it did in June 2024. For the period, $254 million of cash, constituting the payments previously made to the Fund, was recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expenses and $52 million of cash, constituting interest on such amounts, was recorded in Interest and other financial charges – net in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). As this dispute is not yet resolved, we cannot predict its ultimate resolution, including whether we will retain the funds following all final appeals, whether we are entitled to additional interest, or whether the Fund may contend it is owed interest if it prevails.
VINEYARD WIND OFFSHORE WIND FARM. We are the manufacturer and supplier of turbines and blades and the installation contractor for Vineyard Wind 1 offshore wind farm in the Atlantic Ocean (Vineyard Wind), at which we have installed 24 of 62 Haliade-X 220m wind turbines to date. Subsequent to the period covered by this report, a wind turbine blade event occurred at Vineyard Wind. Debris from the blade was released into the Atlantic Ocean and some has washed ashore on nearby beaches. On July 15, 2024, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) issued a suspension order to cease power production and the installation of new wind turbines at the project site, pending an investigation of the event.
As of the date of the filing of this report, we are currently engaged in a root cause analysis of the incident. We do not have an indication as to when BSEE will modify or lift its suspension order. Under our contractual arrangement with the developer of Vineyard Wind, we may receive claims for damages, including liquidated damages for delayed completion, and other incremental or remedial costs. These amounts could be significant and adversely affect our cash collection timelines and contract profitability. We are currently unable to reasonably estimate what impact the event, any potential claims, or the related BSEE order would have on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

(a)The computation of earnings (loss) per share for all periods through April 1, 2024 was calculated using 274 million common shares that were issued upon Spin-Off and excludes Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests. For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the Company participated in various GE stock-based compensation plans. For periods prior to the Spin-Off, there were no dilutive equity instruments as there were no equity awards of GE Vernova outstanding prior to Spin-Off.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, operating income (loss) was $0.5 billion, a $0.9 billion increase, primarily due to an increase in segment results at Power of $0.1 billion, primarily at Gas Power services due to volume, price and productivity, which more than offset the impact of inflation, and improvements in Gas Power equipment profitability; at Wind of $0.1 billion, primarily due to Onshore Wind through improved pricing and the impact of cost reduction activities, and fewer losses recognized in Offshore Wind; and at Electrification of $0.1 billion, primarily due to higher volume, productivity, and price at Grid Solutions; as well as $0.3 billion received related to an arbitration refund and a $0.1 billion benefit related to deferred intercompany profit that was recognized upon GE retaining the renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments in connection with the Spin-Off.
Net income (loss) was $1.3 billion, a $1.4 billion increase in net income for the quarter, primarily due to an increase in the operating income (loss) of $0.9 billion and an increase in other income of $0.7 billion driven by a $0.9 billion pre-tax gain from the sale of a portion of Steam Power nuclear activities to EDF, partially offset by an increase in provision for income taxes of $0.2 billion.
Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA margin* were $0.5 billion and 6.4%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.3 billion and 3.9%, respectively, primarily driven by increases in segment results in Power, Wind, and Electrification.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, operating income (loss) was $0.2 billion, a $1.0 billion increase, primarily due to an increase in segment results at Power of $0.3 billion, primarily attributable to Gas Power, where higher volume, favorable pricing, and increased productivity more than offset the impact of inflation; at Wind of $0.2 billion, primarily due to improved pricing and the impact of cost reduction activities at Onshore Wind, and fewer losses recognized at Offshore Wind; and at Electrification of $0.2 billion, primarily due to higher volume, productivity, and price at Grid Solutions; as well as $0.3 billion received related to an arbitration refund and a $0.1 billion benefit related to deferred intercompany profit that was recognized upon GE retaining the renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments in connection with the Spin-Off.
Net income (loss) was $1.2 billion, a $1.7 billion increase in net income for the period, primarily due to an increase in the operating income (loss) of $1.0 billion and an increase in other income of $0.8 billion driven by a $0.9 billion pre-tax gain from the sale of a portion of Steam Power nuclear activities to EDF, partially offset by an increase in provision for income taxes of $0.3 billion.
Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA margin* were $0.7 billion and 4.6%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $0.7 billion and 4.5%, respectively, primarily driven by increases in segment results in Power, Wind, and Electrification.

POWER. We believe gas power plays a critical role in the energy transition, offering a fundamental foundation of reliable and dispatchable power. Although market factors related to the energy transition, such as greater renewable energy penetration and the adoption of climate change-related legislation and policies continue to evolve, we expect the gas power market to grow over the next decade. We foresee gas power generation continuing to grow low single digits, which will play an indispensable role in ensuring grid stability and energy security. We remain focused on our underwriting discipline and risk management to ensure we are securing deals that meet our financial hurdles, where we have high confidence in delivering for our customers.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, GE Vernova's gas turbine utilization was flat compared to the same period last year. Growth in Asia from fewer outages and more HA units commissioned, and flat utilization in the U.S. suppressed by increased outage activity were offset by Europe where increased nuclear, hydro, and renewable energy drove lower gas operations in the quarter. Global electricity demand increased by mid-single digits. The demand for gas equipment and services remains robust in our Gas Power business.
As we work in emerging markets, there could be uncertainty in the timing of deal closures due to financing and other complexities. Power has proactively managed the impact of inflationary pressure by deploying lean initiatives to drive cost productivity measures, collaborating with our suppliers and adjusting the pricing of our products and services. Given the long-cycle nature of the business, we expect the impact of inflation will continue to be challenging and we will continue to take actions to manage it.
We continue to invest in new product development. In Nuclear Power, we have an agreement with a customer for the deployment of small modular nuclear reactor technology, the first commercial contract in North America, with the potential to enable reductions in nuclear power plant costs and cycle times. In Gas Power, we continue to invest for the long-term, including decarbonization pathways that will provide customers with cleaner, more reliable power. As of June 30, 2024, our fundamentals remained strong with approximately $69.5 billion in RPO and a gas turbine installed base of approximately 7,000 units with approximately 1,700 units under long-term service agreements with an average remaining contract life of approximately 10 years. As of June 30, 2024, we had 32 HA-Turbines in RPO, 30 being installed and commissioned, and 100 HA-Turbines in our installed base with approximately 2.5 million operating hours.

WIND. In our Wind segment, we create value by engineering, manufacturing, and commercializing wind turbines, an important technology playing a role in the energy transition as we seek to decarbonize the world's energy sector. As we focus on providing carbon-free electricity reliably and at scale, we have simplified our senior management structure and portfolio of product offerings, focusing on fewer and more reliable workhorse products. Workhorse products, which include our 2.8-127m, 3.6-154m, and 6.1-158m onshore units, and our Haliade-250m offshore units, account for approximately 70% of our equipment RPO in Onshore Wind and Offshore Wind at June 30, 2024. Included in our RPO are services agreements on approximately 24,000 of our onshore wind turbines, from an installed base of approximately 56,000 units.
At Onshore Wind, we are focused on improving our overall fleet availability. We are reducing product variants and deploying repairs and other corrective measures across the fleet. Concurrently, we intend to operate in fewer geographies and focus on those geographic regions that align better with our products and supply chain footprint, positioning our workhorse products to targeted markets. Our volume mix has shifted towards the U.S., currently representing 75% of Onshore Wind's equipment RPO, while our international volume has become smaller and more profitable. Specifically in the U.S., the IRA introduced new, and extended existing, tax incentives for at least 10 years, significantly improving project economics for our customers and turbine producers. Our projects in the U.S. generally benefit from incentives available to our customers and broadly available IRA incentives. Finally, we are continuing our restructuring program to reduce our operating costs and are seeing the benefits both operationally and financially.
The offshore wind industry currently faces challenges as companies attempt to increase output and reduce cost. In our Offshore Wind business, we continue to experience pressure related to our product and project costs as we deliver on our existing backlog. Although we are deploying countermeasures to combat these pressures and are committed to driving productivity and cost improvement for our new larger turbines, changes in execution timelines or other adverse developments likely could have an adverse effect on our cash collection timelines and contract profitability, and could result in further losses beyond the amounts that we currently estimate.

ELECTRIFICATION. We continue to experience robust demand for our systems, equipment, and services across all businesses. Demand remains strong for large scale transmission-related equipment to interconnect renewables and move bulk power. We also benefited from higher growth in orders from other transmission activities within our Grid Solutions business.
Our Grid Solutions business is positioned to support grid expansion and modernization needs globally. We participate in the onshore interconnection market and the rapidly growing offshore renewable interconnection market with new products and technology supporting a 2 GW HVDC solution standard and are developing new technology, such as grid-forming static synchronous compensators and SF6-free switchgears, that solves for a denser, more resilient, stable, and efficient electric grid with lower future greenhouse gas emissions.

OTHER INFORMATION.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit was $1.7 billion and $1.1 billion for the three months ended and $2.9 billion and $2.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross margin was 20.7% and 14.1% for the three months ended and 18.4% and 13.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in gross profit was due to an increase at Power due to an increase in Gas Power services from higher outages and favorable price, an increase in Electrification due to higher volume, productivity, and price at Grid Solutions, and an increase in Wind through improved pricing and the impact of cost reduction activities at Onshore Wind.
Selling, General, and Administrative. Selling, general, and administrative costs were $0.9 billion and $1.3 billion for the three months ended and $2.1 billion and $2.5 billion for the six months ended and comprised 11.4% and 15.7% of revenues for the three months ended and 13.8% and 16.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The reduction in costs was attributable to a $0.3 billion arbitration refund and ongoing cost reduction initiatives in each of the businesses, partially offset by higher corporate costs required to operate as a stand-alone public company.
Restructuring Charges and Separation Costs. We continuously evaluate our cost structure and are implementing several restructuring and process transformation actions considered necessary to simplify our organizational structure. In addition, in connection with the Spin-Off, we incurred certain separation costs and recognized a benefit related to deferred intercompany profit upon GE retaining the renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments. See Note 23 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.
Interest and Other Financial Charges – Net. Interest and other financial charges – net was less than $0.1 billion in income for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and less than $0.1 billion in expense for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The higher income in 2024 was primarily driven by interest received from an arbitration refund and a higher average balance of invested funds during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The primary components of net interest and other financial charges are fees on cash management activities, interest on borrowings, interest earned on cash balances and short-term investments.

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate was 20.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a lower effective tax rate on a foreign pre-tax gain from the sale of a portion of Steam Power nuclear activities to EDF, partially offset by losses providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions, and an increase in income tax expense due to the reduction of certain U.S. tax attributes that are not part of the Company's stand-alone operations.
Our effective tax rate was 22.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to losses providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions, partially offset by a pre-tax gain with an insignificant tax impact from the sale of a portion of Steam Power nuclear activities to EDF.
We recorded an income tax expense on a pre-tax loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 due to taxes in profitable jurisdictions and losses providing no tax benefit in other jurisdictions.
See Note 15 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY. Historically, we participated in cash pooling and other financing arrangements with GE to manage liquidity and fund our operations. As a result of completing the Spin-Off, we no longer participate in these arrangements and our Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are held and used solely for our own operations. Our capital structure, long-term commitments, and sources of liquidity have changed significantly from our historical practices. In connection with the Spin-Off, we received cash from GE of $0.8 billion through a cash contribution of $0.5 billion to fund future GE Vernova operations and a cash transfer of $0.3 billion restricted in connection with certain legal matters associated with legacy GE operations, such that our cash balance on the date of the completion of the Spin-Off was approximately $4.2 billion. As of June 30, 2024, our Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $5.8 billion, approximately $1.0 billion of which was held in countries where access to cash may be delayed due to various regulations (including $0.1 billion in Russia and Ukraine) and $0.4 billion was restricted use cash. During the second quarter of 2024, our Steam Power business completed the sale of part of its nuclear activities to EDF. In connection with the disposition, we received net cash proceeds of $0.6 billion. During the second quarter of 2024, we also received a cash refund of $0.3 billion in connection with an arbitration proceeding. In addition, we have access to a $3.0 billion committed revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility). See “—Capital Resources and Liquidity—Debt” below for additional information. We believe our future cash flows generated from operations, and committed credit facility will be responsive to the needs of our current and planned operations for at least the next 12 months.
Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows. The most significant source of cash flows from operations is customer-related activities, the largest of which is collecting cash resulting from equipment or services sales. The most significant operating uses of cash are to pay our suppliers, employees, tax authorities, and postretirement plans. We measure ourselves on a free cash flow* basis. 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.
We typically invest in property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) over multiple periods to support new product introductions and increases in manufacturing capacity and to perform ongoing maintenance of our manufacturing operations. We believe that while PP&E expenditures will fluctuate period to period, we will need to maintain a material level of net PP&E spend to maintain ongoing operations and growth of the business.

Cash from (used for) operating activities was $0.5 billion and $(1.0) billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cash from (used for) operating activities increased by $1.5 billion in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily driven by: higher net income (after adjusting for depreciation of PP&E, amortization of intangible assets, and (gains) losses on purchases and sales of business interests) of $0.9 billion, including the impact of a $0.3 billion cash refund we received in connection with an arbitration proceeding in the second quarter of 2024; and an increase of $0.8 billion in contract liabilities and current deferred income, due to higher collections at Onshore Wind and lower liquidations at Offshore Wind in Wind, and higher collections at Electrification; partially offset by current contract assets of $(0.4) billion, driven by higher revenue recognition compared to billings in Offshore Wind, and on our long-term service agreements in Power.
Cash from operating activities of $0.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 included a $0.3 billion inflow from changes in working capital. The cash inflow from changes in working capital was primarily driven by: contract liabilities and current deferred income of $1.6 billion, driven by down payments and collections on several large projects in Grid Solutions at Electrification, and net collections at Power; current receivables of $0.7 billion, driven by collections outpacing billings, primarily at Wind and Power, and the benefits arising from the IRA related to advanced manufacturing credits of $0.2 billion; accounts payable and equipment project accruals of $0.1 billion, due to higher volume than disbursements in Power, partially offset by Wind and Electrification; inventories of $(1.3) billion, primarily in Gas Power at Power and Onshore Wind at Wind, to support fulfillment and deliveries expected in the second half of 2024; current contract assets of $(0.4) billion, driven by revenue recognition exceeding billings in our Offshore Wind business at Wind, and on our long-term service agreements in Power; and changes in due to related parties of $(0.4) billion, primarily due to settlements of payables with GE prior to the Spin-Off.

2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 11
Cash used for operating activities of $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included a $0.1 billion outflow from changes in working capital. The cash outflow from changes in working capital was primarily driven by: inventories of $1.2 billion, due to inventory build in Onshore Wind and Offshore Wind at Wind and Gas Power at Power; partially offset by contract liabilities and current deferred income of $(0.8) billion as a result of project collections and down payments in Power, Wind, and Electrification outpacing revenue recognition; and current receivables of $(0.3) billion, driven by collections outpacing billings primarily in Gas Power at Power and Onshore Wind at Wind.
Cash from (used for) investing activities was $0.3 billion and $(0.4) billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cash from (used for) investing activities increased by $0.7 billion in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily driven by: net proceeds from principal business dispositions of $0.6 billion in the second quarter of 2024, as a result of our Steam Power business sale of part of its nuclear activities to EDF in our Power segment; and the nonrecurrence of the net impact of our acquisition of Nexus Controls and other investment sales of $0.2 billion in 2023; partially offset by higher cash used for additions to PP&E and internal-use software of $(0.1) billion; and an increase in net purchases of equity method investments of $(0.1) billion, primarily driven by higher contributions to investments at our Financial Services business. Cash used for additions to PP&E and internal-use software, which is a component of free cash flow*, was $0.4 billion and $0.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cash from financing activities was $2.9 billion and $0.9 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, inclusive of $3.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, of transfers from parent.
Material Cash Requirements. In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts and commitments that oblige us to make payments in the future. Information regarding our obligations under lease and guarantee arrangements as well as our investment commitments is provided in Note 7 and Note 22 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as in Note 7 and Note 20 in the Notes to the audited combined financial statements included in the Information Statement. Additionally, we have material cash requirements related to our pension obligations as described in Note 13 to the audited combined financial statements included in the Information Statement.
Debt. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $0.1 billion of total debt, excluding finance leases. We have a $3.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility to fund near-term intra-quarter working capital needs as they arise. In addition, we have a $3.0 billion committed trade finance facility (Trade Finance Facility, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Credit Facilities). The Trade Finance Facility is not expected to be utilized and will not provide us with direct liquidity. We believe that our financing arrangements, future cash from operations, and access to capital markets will provide adequate resources to fund our future cash flow needs. For more information about these Credit Facilities, refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 2, 2024.
Credit Ratings and Conditions. GE historically relied on the debt capital markets to fund, among other things, a significant portion of its operations. We may continue to rely on capital markets in the future, and we have access to the Revolving Credit Facility to fund operations, as described above, to further support our liquidity needs. The cost and availability of any debt financing is influenced by our credit ratings and market conditions. Standard and Poor's Global Ratings (S&P) and Fitch Ratings (Fitch) have issued credit ratings for our Company. Our credit ratings as of the date of this filing are set forth in the following table.
| S&P | Fitch | |||||||
| Outlook | Stable | Stable | ||||||
| Long term | BBB- | BBB | ||||||
We are disclosing our credit ratings to enhance understanding of our sources of liquidity and the effects of our ratings on our costs of funds and access to credit. Our ratings may be subject to a revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. For a description of some of the potential consequences of a reduction in our credit ratings, see the Risks Relating to Financial, Accounting, and Tax Matters section of Risk Factors in the Information Statement.
If GE Vernova is unable to maintain investment grade ratings, we could face significant challenges in being awarded new contracts, substantially increasing financing and hedging costs, and refinancing risks as well as substantially decreasing the availability of credit. The estimated liquidity impact in the event of a downgrade below investment grade was immaterial as of June 30, 2024.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk. We are exposed to market risk primarily from the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. These exposures are managed and mitigated with the use of financial instruments, including derivatives contracts. We apply policies to manage these risks, including prohibitions on speculative trading activities. As a result of our global operations, we generate and incur a significant portion of our revenues and expenses in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Such principal currencies include the euro, the British pound sterling, the Brazilian real, and the Indian rupee. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations on earnings were $0.1 billion for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. See Note 20 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information. For more information about foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and commodity risk see the "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk" section of the Information Statement.

Parent Company Credit Support. To support GE Vernova in selling products and services globally, GE often entered into contracts on behalf of GE Vernova or issued parent company guarantees or trade finance instruments supporting the performance of its subsidiary legal entities transacting directly with customers, in addition to providing similar credit support for non-customer related activities of GE Vernova (collectively, the GE credit support). In connection with the Spin-Off, we are working to seek novation or assignment of GE credit support, the majority of which relates to parent company guarantees, associated with GE Vernova legal entities from GE to GE Vernova. For GE credit support that remained outstanding at the Spin-Off, GE Vernova is obligated to use reasonable best efforts to terminate or replace, and obtain a full release of GE’s obligations and liabilities under, all such credit support. Beginning in 2025, GE Vernova will pay a quarterly fee to GE based on amounts related to the GE credit support. GE Vernova will face other contractual restrictions and requirements while GE continues to be obligated under such credit support on behalf of GE Vernova. While GE will remain obligated under the contract or instrument, GE Vernova will be obligated to indemnify GE for credit support related payments that GE is required to make.
As of June 30, 2024, we estimated GE Vernova RPO and other obligations that relate to GE credit support to be approximately $29 billion, an over 50% reduction since year end and over 20% reduction since the Spin-Off, of which approximately $1 billion are financial guarantees. We expect approximately $16 billion of the RPO related to GE credit support obligations to contractually mature within five years from the date of the Spin-Off and credit support on financial guarantees to not exceed a year beyond separation. The underlying obligations are predominantly customer contracts that GE Vernova performs in the normal course of its business. We have no known instances historically where payments or performance from GE were required under parent company guarantees relating to GE Vernova customer contracts.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. For a discussion of recently issued accounting standards, see Note 2 to the audited combined financial statements included in the Information Statement.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES. To prepare our consolidated and combined financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, including our contingent liabilities, as of the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of our revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. We consider estimates to be critical (i) if we are required to make assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time of estimation or (ii) if materially different estimates could have been made or it is reasonably likely that the accounting estimate will change from period to period. Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Note 2 to the audited combined financial statements included in the Information Statement for additional discussion of accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 above with respect to free cash flow, 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.
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.

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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that (i) our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024, and (ii) no change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
Prior to April 2, 2024, GE Vernova relied on certain business processes and internal controls over financial reporting performed by GE. In connection with the Spin-Off, responsibility for these processes and internal controls were transferred from GE to GE Vernova personnel, including internal controls and processes related to information technology, treasury, human resources (including payroll and benefit plan administration), taxes, external financial reporting, legal, and oversight functions such as corporate governance. The Company has revised and adopted policies, procedures and processes, as needed, to meet regulatory requirements applicable to a standalone public company and will continue to identify, document, and evaluate key controls to provide reasonable assurance that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. We are reporting the following matter in compliance with SEC requirements to disclose administrative proceedings arising under laws that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment where a governmental authority is a party and that involve potential monetary sanctions of $300,000 or greater. In March 2024, one of our Australian subsidiaries received notice from the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) of its intention to issue infringement notices imposing administrative fines on the subsidiary for importing equipment containing SF6 gas without an equipment license, as required by local law related to synthetic greenhouse gas management and seek a court order to impose civil penalties for delinquent reporting under such law. The applicable local law regulates the import to Australia of synthetic greenhouse gases in equipment, including certain of our switchgear products, and our subsidiary had neglected to renew the import license required under the law. We responded to DCCEEW, and following discussions with the agency, have paid approximately $0.3 million in fines to date in connection with the infringement notices. Discussions with DCCEEW regarding a court-issued civil penalty order are pending. Refer to Legal Matters in Note 22 to the consolidated and combined financial statements for additional information relating to legal matters.

2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 22
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization. On April 2, 2024 (the Distribution Date), General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace (GE or Parent) completed the previously announced spin-off (the Spin-Off) of GE Vernova (the Company, GE Vernova, our, we, or us). The Spin-Off was completed through a distribution of all the Company's outstanding common stock to holders of record of GE's common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2024 (the Distribution), which resulted in the issuance of approximately 274 million shares of common stock. As a result of the Distribution, the Company became an independent public company. Our common stock is listed under the symbol “GEV” on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with the Spin-Off, GE contributed cash of $515 million to GE Vernova to fund future operations and transferred restricted cash of $325 million to us such that the Company’s cash balance upon completion of the Spin-Off was approximately $4,200 million. See Note 22 for further information.
In connection with the Spin-Off, GE Vernova entered into several agreements with GE, including a separation and distribution agreement that sets forth certain agreements with GE regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Spin-Off, including the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities, and establishes certain rights and obligations between the Company and GE, including procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters. Other agreements we entered into that govern aspects of our relationship with GE following the Spin-Off include:
•Transition Services Agreement – governs all matters relating to the provision of services between the Company and GE on a transitional basis. The services the Company receives include support for digital technology, human resources, supply chain, finance, and real estate services, among others, that are generally intended to be provided for a period no longer than two years following the Spin-Off.
•Tax Matters Agreement – governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between the Company and GE with respect to all tax matters (excluding employee-related taxes covered under the Employee Matters Agreement), in addition to certain restrictions which generally prohibit us from taking or failing to take any action in the two-year period following the Distribution that would prevent the Distribution from qualifying as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including limitations on our ability to pursue certain strategic transactions. The agreement specifies the portion of tax liability for which the Company will bear contractual responsibility, and the Company and GE will each agree to indemnify each other against any amounts for which such indemnified party is not responsible.
•Certain other agreements related to employee matters, trademark license, intellectual property, real estate matters, and framework investments.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Company, GE Vernova, our, we, and us, refer to (i) GE’s renewable energy, power, and digital businesses prior to the Spin-Off and (ii) GE Vernova Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Spin-Off.
Basis of Presentation. For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the unaudited combined financial statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of GE, including the historical cost basis of assets and liabilities comprising the Company, as well as the historical revenues, direct costs, and allocations of indirect costs attributable to the operations of the Company, using the historical accounting policies applied by GE. The unaudited combined financial statements do not purport to reflect what the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, or cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods prior to the Spin-Off.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information related to our significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited combined financial statements, corresponding notes, and significant accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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 SEC on March 8, 2024 (the Information Statement). The information presented in tables throughout the footnotes is presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions.
All intercompany balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in the consolidated and combined financial statements. As described in Note 24, transactions between the Company and GE have been included in these consolidated and combined financial statements. Certain financing transactions with GE are deemed to have been settled immediately through Net parent investment in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position and are accounted for as a financing activity in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows as Transfers from (to) Parent.
2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 23
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Estimates and Assumptions. The preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future, economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the consolidated and combined financial statements. We believe these assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances, and although our current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
NOTE 3. DISPOSITIONS AND BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE . During the second quarter of 2024, our Steam Power business completed the sale of part of its nuclear activities to Electricité de France S.A. (EDF). In connection with the disposition, we received net cash proceeds of $639 million, subject to customary working capital and other post-close adjustments. As a result, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $853 million (after-tax gain of $845 million), recorded in Other income (expense) – net in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). See Notes 15, 16 and 19 for further information.
The major components of assets and liabilities of the business held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position are summarized as follows:

Sales of customer receivables. From time to time, the Company sells current or long-term receivables to third parties in response to customer-sponsored requests or programs, to facilitate sales, or for risk mitigation purposes. The Company sold current customer receivables to third parties and subsequently collected $550 million and $501 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Within these programs, primarily related to our participation in customer-sponsored supply chain finance programs in Wind, the Company has no continuing involvement, fees associated with the transferred receivables are covered by the customer, and cash is received at the original invoice due date. Included in the sales of customer receivables in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $77 million in our Gas Power business within our Power segment, primarily for risk mitigation purposes.

NOTE 7. LEASES. Our operating lease liabilities, included in and in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position, were $693 million and $718 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

We assess the possibility that a reporting unit’s fair value has been reduced below its carrying amount due to the occurrence of events or circumstances between annual impairment testing dates. In the second quarter of 2024, we did not identify any reporting units that required an interim impairment test.
Intangible assets. All intangible assets are subject to amortization. Intangible assets decreased $117 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of amortization. Amortization expense was $63 million and $68 million in the three months ended and $126 million and $123 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 9. CONTRACT AND OTHER DEFERRED ASSETS & CONTRACT LIABILITIES AND DEFERRED INCOME.
Contract assets reflect revenue recognized on contracts in excess of billings based on contractual terms. Contract liabilities primarily represent cash received from customers under ordinary commercial payment terms in advance of delivery of equipment orders or servicing of customers’ installed base.
Contract and other deferred assets increased $357 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the timing of revenue recognition ahead of billing milestones on equipment and other service agreements and increased contractual service agreement assets related to our Gas Power business within our Power segment. Contract liabilities and deferred income increased $1,482 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to new collections received in excess of revenue recognition at Power, Wind, and Electrification. Net contractual service agreements increased primarily due to revenues recognized of $2,537 million, partially offset by billings of $2,300 million and net unfavorable changes in estimated profitability of $89 million.
2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 25
Revenue recognized related to the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was approximately $5,283 million and $4,960 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Contract modifications could affect both the timing to complete as well as the amount to be received as we fulfill the related remaining performance obligations.
NOTE 10. CURRENT AND ALL OTHER ASSETS. All other current assets primarily include financing receivables, prepaid taxes and deferred charges, and derivative instruments (see Note 20). All other current assets increased $112 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. All other assets primarily include pension surplus, long-term receivables (see Note 4), and prepaid taxes and deferred charges. All other assets increased $252 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increases in pension assets and prepaid taxes and deferred charges.

Defined Contribution Plan. Following the Spin-Off, GE Vernova now sponsors a defined contribution plan for its eligible U.S. employees that is similar to the corresponding GE-sponsored defined contribution plan that was in effect prior to the Spin-Off. Expenses associated with their participation in GE Vernova's plan beginning on April 2, 2024 and in GE's plan through April 1, 2024 and during 2023 represent the employer contributions for GE Vernova employees and were $45 million and $40 million for the three months ended and $81 million and $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 14. CURRENT AND ALL OTHER LIABILITIES . All other current liabilities primarily include liabilities related to employee compensation and benefits, equipment projects and other commercial liabilities, product warranties (see Note 22), restructuring liabilities (see Note 23), liabilities related to business disposition activities, and indemnifications in connection with the Spin-Off (see Note 22). All other current liabilities increased $293 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to liabilities related to business disposition activities and indemnification liabilities, partially offset by decreases in employee compensation and benefit liabilities. All other liabilities primarily include liabilities related to product warranties (see Note 22), legal liabilities (see Note 22), asset retirement obligations (see Note 22), operating lease liabilities (see Note 7), equipment projects and other commercial liabilities, and indemnifications in connection with the Spin-Off (see Note 22). All other liabilities increased $260 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in indemnification liabilities.
NOTE 15. INCOME TAXES. The Company’s income tax provision through March 31, 2024 was prepared based on a separate return basis. Following the Spin-off, the Company's income tax provision is prepared on a stand-alone basis.
Our effective tax rate was 20.1 % for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a lower effective tax rate on a foreign pre-tax gain from the sale of a portion of Steam Power nuclear activities to EDF, partially offset by losses providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions, and an increase in income tax expense due to the reduction of certain U.S. tax attributes that are not part of the Company's stand-alone operations.
Our effective tax rate was 22.1 % for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to losses providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions, partially offset by a pre-tax gain with an insignificant tax impact from the sale of a portion of Steam Power nuclear activities to EDF.
We recorded an income tax expense on a pre-tax loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 due to taxes in profitable jurisdictions and losses providing no tax benefit in other jurisdictions.
The Company's portion of income taxes for U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions prior to the separation were deemed settled at the date of the Spin-Off. We recognized $287 million of foreign deferred tax liabilities transferred from GE related to separation activities. Refer to Note 1 for further information relating to the Tax Matters Agreement.
The OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (Pillar 2) that has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 countries. During 2023, many countries took steps to incorporate Pillar 2 model rule concepts into their domestic laws. Although the model rules provide a framework for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact Pillar 2 slightly differently than the model rules and on different timelines and may adjust domestic tax incentives in response to Pillar 2. Accordingly, we continue to evaluate the potential consequences of Pillar 2 on our longer-term financial position. In 2024, we expect to incur insignificant tax expenses in connection with Pillar 2.

NOTE 17. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION . We grant stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance share units (PSUs) to employees under the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors approves grants under the LTIP. Under the LTIP, we are authorized to issue up to approximately 25 million shares. We record compensation expense for awards expected to vest over the vesting period. We estimate forfeitures based on experience and adjust expense to reflect actual forfeitures. When options are exercised, RSUs vest, and PSUs are earned, we issue shares from authorized unissued common stock.
Stock options provide awardees the opportunity to purchase shares of GE Vernova common stock in the future at the market price of our common stock on the date the award is granted (the strike price). The options become exercisable over the vesting period, typically becoming fully vested in either 3 or 4 years from the date of grant, and generally expire 10 years from the grant date if not exercised. RSUs entitle the awardee to receive shares of GE Vernova common stock upon vesting. PSUs entitle an awardee to receive shares of GE Vernova common stock upon certification by the Company's Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the level of performance achievement of the applicable performance metrics over a defined performance period. We value stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, RSUs using the market price of our common stock on the grant date, and PSUs using the market price of our common stock on the grant date and a Monte Carlo simulation as needed based on performance metrics.
The following tables provide the weighted average fair value of options, RSUs, and PSUs granted to employees during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and the related stock option valuation assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model.

For new awards granted in 2024, the expected volatility was derived from a peer group’s blended historical and implied volatility as GE Vernova does not have sufficient historical volatility based on the expected term of the underlying options. The expected term of the stock options was determined using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate was determined using the implied yield currently available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the options.

(a) On April 2, 2024, the Company began trading as an independent, publicly traded company under the stock symbol “GEV” on the New York Stock Exchange. The shares outstanding as of April 2, 2024 pertain to GE equity-based awards issued by GE in prior periods to employees of the Company that were converted to GE Vernova equity-based awards as part of the Spin-Off. The conversion to GE Vernova awards was considered a modification of the original award. Incremental fair value recognized was immaterial.
Total outstanding target PSUs as of June 30, 2024 were 1,162 thousand shares with a weighted average fair value of $142.60 . The intrinsic value and weighted average vesting period of PSUs outstanding were $199 million and 1.9 years, respectively.
Share-based compensation expense is recognized within Cost of equipment, Cost of services, Selling, general, and administrative expenses, and Research and development expenses, as appropriate, in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss).

NOTE 20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Loans and Other Receivables. The Company’s financial assets not carried at fair value primarily consist of loan receivables and non-current customer and other receivables. The net carrying amount was $498 million and $328 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The estimated fair value was $495 million and $324 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. All of these assets are considered to be Level 3.
Derivatives and Hedging. Our primary objective in executing and holding derivatives is to reduce the earnings and cash flow volatility associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices over the terms of our customer contracts. These hedge contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price movements. The Company does not enter into or hold derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.
We use foreign currency contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows related to forecasted revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities. These contracts are generally to ten months in duration but with maximum remaining maturities of up to 15 years as of June 30, 2024.
Cash Flow Hedges. The total amount in AOCI related to cash flow hedges was a net $77 million gain as of June 30, 2024, of which a net gain of $34 million related to our share of AOCI recognized at our non-consolidated joint ventures. We expect to reclassify $51 million of pre-tax net losses associated with designated cash flow hedges to earnings in the next 12 months, contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. The Company reclassified net gains (losses) from AOCI into earnings of $(9 ) million and $(6 ) million for the three months ended and $(22 ) million and $(11 ) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the maximum length of time over which we are hedging forecasted transactions was approximately 11 years.
Net Investment Hedges. We enter into foreign exchange forwards designated as the hedging instruments in net investment hedging relationships in order to mitigate the foreign currency risk attributable to the translation of the Company’s net investment in certain non USD-functional subsidiaries and/or equity method investees. The total amount in AOCI related to net investment hedges was a net gain of $34 million as of June 30, 2024.

The amount excluded for cash flow hedges was a gain (loss) of $10 million and $(5 ) million for the three months ended and $11 million and $(9 ) million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This amount is recognized in Sales of equipment, Sales of services, Cost of equipment, and Cost of services in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss).
NOTE 21. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES . In our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position, we have assets of $77 million and $122 million and liabilities of $119 million and $156 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, from consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs). These entities were created to help our customers facilitate or finance the purchase of GE Vernova equipment and services, and to manage our insurance exposure through an insurance captive, and have no features that could expose us to losses that would significantly exceed the difference between the consolidated assets and liabilities.
Our investments in unconsolidated VIEs were $114 million and $1,323 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Of these investments, $59 million and $1,272 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were owned by our Financial Services business. At December 31, 2023, these investments were substantially all related to renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments that were subsequently retained by GE in connection with the Spin-Off. See Note 11 for further information. Our maximum exposure to loss in respect of unconsolidated VIEs is increased by our commitments to make additional investments in these entities described in Note 22.
NOTE 22. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES, PRODUCT WARRANTIES, AND OTHER LOSS CONTINGENCIES
Commitments. We had total investment commitments of $70 million and unfunded lending commitments of $68 million at June 30, 2024. The commitments primarily consist of obligations to make investments or provide funding by our Financial Services and Gas Power businesses. See Note 21 for further information.
Guarantees. As of June 30, 2024, we were committed under the following guarantee arrangements:
2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 33
Credit support. We have provided $726 million of credit support on behalf of certain customers or associated companies, predominantly joint ventures and partnerships, using arrangements such as standby letters of credit and performance guarantees, and a line of credit to support our consolidated subsidiaries. The liability for such credit support was $6 million. In addition, prior to the Spin-Off, GE provided parent company guarantees to GE Vernova in certain jurisdictions. See Note 24 for further information.
Indemnification agreements. We have $905 million of indemnification commitments, including obligations arising from the Spin-Off, our commercial contracts, and agreements governing the sale of business assets, for which we recorded a liability of $698 million. The liability is primarily associated with cash and deposits of which $325 million is cash transferred to the Company from GE as part of the Spin-Off that is restricted in connection with certain legal matters related to legacy GE operations. The liability reflects the use of these funds to settle any associated obligations and the return of any remaining cash to GE in a future reporting period once resolved. In addition, the liability includes $303 million of indemnifications in connection with agreements entered into with GE related to the Spin-Off, including the tax matters agreement.
Product Warranties. We provide for estimated product warranty expenses when we sell the related products. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, mostly historical claims experience, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. The liability for product warranties was $1,292 million and $1,414 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Legal Matters. In the normal course of our business, we are involved from time to time in various arbitrations, class actions, commercial litigation, investigations, and other legal, regulatory, or governmental actions, including the significant matters described below that could have a material impact on our results of operations. In many proceedings, including the specific matters described below, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss, and accruals for legal matters are not recorded until a loss for a particular matter is considered probable and reasonably estimable. Given the nature of legal matters and the complexities involved, it is often difficult to predict and determine a meaningful estimate of loss or range of loss until we know, among other factors, the particular claims involved, the likelihood of success of our defenses to those claims, the damages or other relief sought, how discovery or other procedural considerations will affect the outcome, the settlement posture of other parties, and other factors that may have a material effect on the outcome. For these matters, unless otherwise specified, we do not believe it is possible to provide a meaningful estimate of loss at this time. Moreover, it is not uncommon for legal matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be continuously evaluated.
Alstom Legacy Legal Matters. In November 2015, we acquired the power and grid businesses of Alstom, which prior to the acquisition was the subject of significant cases involving anti-competitive activities and improper payments. The estimated liability balance was $327 million and $393 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, for legal and compliance matters related to the legacy business practices that were the subject of cases in various jurisdictions. Allegations in these cases relate to claimed anti-competitive conduct or improper payments in the pre-acquisition period as the source of legal violations or damages. Given the significant litigation and compliance activity related to these matters and our ongoing efforts to resolve them, it is difficult to assess whether the disbursements will ultimately be consistent with the estimated liability established. The estimation of this liability may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes inherent in litigation and investigations of this nature, and at this time we are unable to develop a meaningful estimate of the range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond the amount of this estimated liability. Factors that can affect the ultimate amount of losses associated with these and related matters include formulas for determining disgorgement, fines and/or penalties, the duration and amount of legal and investigative resources applied, political and social influences within each jurisdiction, and tax consequences of any settlements or previous deductions, among other considerations. Actual losses arising from claims in these and related matters could exceed the amount provided.
In June 2024, we executed a settlement agreement with the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by The Ministry of Energy (MOE) in connection with certain Alstom steam power construction projects with Saudi Electric Company (SE) won between 1998 and 2008. In November 2015, prior to its acquisition by GE, Alstom had paid a fine and pled guilty to charges brought by the U.S. Department of Justice under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including in relation to conduct related to two of these SE steam power projects. In December 2015, following the acquisition of Alstom by GE, SE contacted GE seeking recompense for alleged reputational damage and in December 2021, the Saudi Arabia National Anti-Corruption Commission became involved and initiated an investigation. The settlement of approximately $267 million consists of $141 million in cash payments to the MOE and the remainder as a credit note to SE, and releases GE Vernova, GE and their respective affiliates from civil and criminal liabilities related to this matter after the settlement obligations are met. Approximately $62 million of the cash settlement was paid in the second quarter and the remainder will be payable quarterly through September 2026.
Environmental and Asset Retirement Obligations. Our operations involve the use, disposal, and cleanup of substances regulated under environmental protection laws and nuclear decommissioning regulations. We have obligations for ongoing and future environmental remediation activities and may incur additional liabilities in connection with previously remediated sites. Additionally, like many other industrial companies, we and our subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits related to alleged worker exposure to asbestos or other hazardous materials. Liabilities for environmental remediation, nuclear decommissioning, and worker exposure claims exclude possible insurance recoveries.
It is reasonably possible that our exposure will exceed amounts accrued. However, due to uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology, and information related to individual sites and lawsuits, such amounts are not reasonably estimable. Our reserves related to environmental remediation and worker exposure claims recorded in All other liabilities were $136 million and $127 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
2024 2Q FORM 10-Q 34
We record asset retirement obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets as a liability in the period in which the obligation is incurred and its fair value can be reasonably estimated. These obligations primarily represent nuclear decommissioning, legal obligations to return leased premises to their initial state, or dismantle and repair specific alterations for certain leased sites. The liability is measured at the present value of the obligation when incurred and is adjusted in subsequent periods. Corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the related long-lived assets and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. Our asset retirement obligations were $588 million and $581 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are recorded in All other liabilities in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position. Of these amounts, $522 million and $519 million were related to nuclear decommissioning obligations. Changes in the liability balance due to settlement, accretion, and revisions in fair value were not material for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
NOTE 23. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND SEPARATION COSTS
Restructuring and Other Charges. This table is inclusive of all restructuring charges and the charges are shown below for the business where they originated. Separately, in our reported segment results, major restructuring programs are excluded from measurement of segment operating performance for internal and external purposes; those excluded amounts are reported in Restructuring and other charges.

In addition to the continued impacts of ongoing initiatives, restructuring primarily included exit activities associated with the plan announced in October 2022 to undertake a restructuring program across our Wind businesses, primarily reflecting the selectivity strategy to operate in fewer markets and to simplify and standardize product variants. The estimated cost of this multi-year restructuring program was approximately $600 million, with the majority recognized in the first half of 2023. This plan was expanded during the third quarter of 2023 to include the consolidation of the global footprint and related resources at our Power businesses to better serve our customers.
Separation Costs. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company recognized separation costs (benefits) of $(91 ) million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). Separation costs (benefits) include system implementations, advisory fees, one-time stock option grant, and other one-time costs, which are primarily recorded in Selling, general, and administrative costs. In addition, in connection with GE retaining certain renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments as part of the Spin-Off, the Company recognized a $136 million benefit related to deferred intercompany profit from historical equipment sales to the related investees, recorded in Cost of equipment. See Note 11 for further information.

Aero Alliance. Aero Alliance is our joint venture with Baker Hughes Company that supports our customers through the fulfillment of aeroderivative engines, spare parts, repairs, and maintenance services. Purchases of parts and services from the joint venture were $212 million and $156 million for the three months ended and $363 million and $273 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company owed Aero Alliance $44 million and $34 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts have been recorded in Due to related parties on the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position.
Prolec GE. Prolec GE is our joint venture with Xignux, which manufactures a wide range of transformers available for generation, transmission, and distribution applications. To fund a historical acquisition, Prolec GE issued notes that included certain change in control provisions that allowed the note holders to accept prepayment of such notes by Prolec GE as a result of the GE Vernova Spin-Off. If some or all of the note holders accepted to receive prepayment of the outstanding notes, Prolec GE would have needed to refinance the notes. The Company may have been required to provide financing to Prolec GE to satisfy the prepayment conditions if other refinancing options had not been obtained prior to the note holders calling such notes. Prolec GE was able to refinance the notes that were subject to prepayment, thereby relieving GE Vernova of its funding commitment.
Financial Services Investments. Our Financial Services business invests in project infrastructure entities where we do not hold a controlling financial interest, including renewable tax equity vehicles. These entities generally purchase equipment from our Wind and Power segments, and we have recognized revenues of $121 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $4 million and $142 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for sales to these entities. Revenues for sales to these entities for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were no t significant as GE retained the renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments. See Note 11 for further information.
Corporate Allocations. Prior to the Spin-Off, GE historically provided the Company with significant corporate, infrastructure, and shared services. Some of these services continue to be provided by GE to the Company on a temporary basis following the Spin-Off under the Transition Services Agreement. Accordingly, for periods prior to the Spin-Off, certain GE Corporate Costs have been charged to the Company based on allocation methodologies as follows:
a.Centralized services such as public relations, investor relations, treasury and cash management, executive management, security, government relations, community outreach, and corporate internal audit services were charged to the Company on a pro rata basis of GE’s estimates of each business’s usage at the beginning of the fiscal year and were recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Costs of $19 million and $39 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, were recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). Costs allocated to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were no t significant as GE Vernova had established standalone capabilities for such services.
b.Information technology, finance, insurance, research, supply chain, human resources, tax, and facilities activities were charged to the Company based on headcount, revenue, or other allocation methodologies. Costs for these services of $181 million and $364 million were charged to the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Costs for these services of $100 million were charged to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Such costs are primarily included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses and Research and development expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss).
c.Costs associated with employee medical insurance totaling $31 million and $59 million were charged for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Costs associated with employee medical insurance totaling $30 million were charged to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Costs were charged to the Company based on employee headcount and are recorded in Cost of equipment, Cost of services, Selling, general, and administrative expenses, or Research and development expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss) based on the employee population.
Additionally, GE granted various employee benefits to its employees, including prior to the Spin-Off to those of the Company, under the GE Long-Term Incentive Plan. These benefits primarily included stock options and restricted stock units. Compensation expense associated with this plan was $26 million and $59 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Compensation expense associated with this plan was $34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Such expense is included primarily in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). These costs were charged directly to the Company based on the specific employees receiving awards.
Finally, while GE’s third-party debt had not been attributed to the Company, GE allocated a portion of interest expense related to its third-party debt for funding provided by GE to the Company for certain investments held by Financial Services. The interest was allocated based on the GE-funded ending net investment position each reporting period. Interest allocated was $10 million and $19 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Interest allocated was $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Such expense is included in Interest and other financial charges – net in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss).
Management believes that the expense and cost allocations were determined on a basis that is a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Company. The amounts that would have been, or will be incurred, on a stand-alone basis could materially differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees, or other factors. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the Company operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position, and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.

Parent Company Credit Support. GE provided the Company with parent credit support in certain jurisdictions. To support the Company in selling products and services globally, GE often entered into contracts on behalf of GE Vernova or issued parent company guarantees or trade finance instruments supporting the performance of what were subsidiary legal entities transacting directly with customers, in addition to providing similar credit support for some non-customer related activities of GE Vernova. There are no known instances historically where payments or performance from GE were required under parent company guarantees relating to GE Vernova customer contracts.
