NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization. On April 2, 2024, General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace (GE or Parent) completed the previously
announced spin-off (the Spin-Off) of GE Vernova Inc. (the Company, GE Vernova, our, we, or us). See Note 1 and Note 24 in the Notes to
our audited consolidated and combined financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2024 for further information. Our common stock is listed under the symbol "GEV" on the New York Stock Exchange.
GE Vernova is a global leader in the electric power industry, with products and services that generate, transfer, orchestrate, convert, and
store electricity. We design, manufacture, deliver, and service technologies to create a more reliable and sustainable electric power system,
enabling electrification and decarbonization, underpinning the progress and prosperity of the communities we serve. We report our financial
results across three business segments:
•Our Power segment includes design, manufacture, and servicing of gas, nuclear, hydro, and steam technologies, providing a
critical foundation of dispatchable, flexible, stable, and reliable power.
•Our Wind segment includes our wind generation technologies, inclusive of onshore and offshore wind turbines and blades.
•Our Electrification segment includes grid solutions, power conversion and storage, and electrification software technologies
required for the transmission, distribution, conversion, storage, and orchestration of electricity from point of generation to point of
consumption. Effective January 1, 2025, our Power Conversion and Solar & Storage Solutions business units within our
Electrification segment were combined to form a new business unit, Power Conversion & Storage. Historical financial information
presented within this report conforms to the new business unit structure within the Electrification segment.
Basis of Presentation. For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the unaudited combined financial statements have been 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 note 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 consolidated and combined financial
statements, corresponding notes, and significant accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2024. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation. The information
presented in tables throughout the notes 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. 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. Within the caption Increase (decrease) in accounts payable and equipment project payables
in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows, the increase (decrease) in due to related parties, which primarily included
transactions with GE, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, was (365) million.
For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position reflects all of the assets and liabilities of
GE that are specifically identifiable as being directly attributable to the Company, including Net parent investment as a component of equity.
Net parent investment represents GE’s historical investment in the Company and includes accumulated net income and losses attributable
to the Company, and the net effect of transactions with GE and its subsidiaries.
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.
Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, determining revenues from contracts with customers, recoverability of inventory, long-lived
assets and investments, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, income taxes and
related valuation allowances, accruals for contingencies including legal, indemnifications, product warranties, and environmental, actuarial
assumptions used to determine costs of pension and postretirement benefits, valuation and recoverability of receivables, valuation of
derivatives, and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of acquisitions.

December 31, 2024.
