CEO summary

I am pleased with what we achieved in the second quarter of 2025, and one of the highlights was the record-high order intake of \$9.8 billion, up 16% (14% comparable). It was particularly encouraging to see that the positive development was broad-based across all four business areas, a majority of customer segments, all three geographical regions and in both the short-cycle and project-related businesses. In my view, this signals a robust general trading environment. Order growth was especially strong in the Process Automation business area where a large order of approximately \$600 million net was booked. Our book-to-bill was strong at 1.10 and notably it was positive also without the specific large order booking which supported comparable order growth by about 7%.

Sequentially, the trading environment remained largely unchanged, with similar uncertainty linked to potential impacts from trade tariffs.

Broadly in line with our expectations, revenues increased by 8% (6% comparable) year-on-year, supported by three out of four business areas. Revenues in Robotics & Discrete Automation was hampered by weakness in the Machine Automation division where last year's comparable was supported by a stronger order backlog.

Operational EBITA was up by 9% and the margin improvement of 20 basis points to 19.2% was even a bit better than originally expected. Margins increased in both the Electrification and Process Automation business areas, and Motion remained virtually stable. This combined operational improvement offset the year-on-year headwind from margin pressure in Robotics & Discrete Automation linked to the Machine Automation division, as well as the year-on-year headwind of 30 basis points from last year's positive non-repeat in Corporate & other.

We continue to achieve high Return on capital employed and at 23.1% we added to our streak of delivering well above our long-term target. Free cash flow of \$845 million was slightly softer than last year as increased earnings were more than offset by the impacts from the growth-related buildup of net working capital and the planned increase in capex spend. Our usual pattern suggests a stronger cash

delivery in the second half of the year, and we remain confident in our ambition to improve from last year's annual level.

During the quarter we were recognized by TIME Magazine as one of the top 15 most sustainable companies in the world, across all industries. I view it as a testament to the success of our strategic approach of embedding sustainability into our operations, based on accountability and transparency.

Another highlight in the quarter was the launch of three new robot families, aiming to further strengthen our Robotics business' leading position in China. This enables us to support industries and customers to automate with new mid-market value propositions, and it is the result of our full local-for-local value chain. In April, we announced our plans to spin-off our Robotics division as a separately listed company. The carve-out for a distribution as a dividend-in-kind during the second quarter of 2026 is progressing as planned.

Also, I am excited about the Electrification business area launching the next generation of their technology-leading air circuit breaker, the SACE Emax 3. This is the world's first cybersecurity SL2-certified air circuit breaker. As evidence of our strategy of embedded software, the Emax 3 includes sensing, intelligence and advanced algorithms to improve energy security resilience of power systems in critical infrastructure, such as data centers, factories, hospitals and airports.

Morten Wierod CEO

Outlook

In the third quarter of 2025, we anticipate comparable revenue growth to be at least in the mid-single digit range, and the Operational EBITA margin to remain broadly stable year-on-year; however acknowledging the uncertainty for the global business environment.

In full-year 2025, we expect a positive book-to-bill, comparable revenue growth in the mid-single digit range and the Operational EBITA margin to improve year-on-year, however acknowledging the uncertainty for the global business environment.

Orders and revenues

In addition to a generally robust market environment, with a positive development in short-cycle and projectrelated businesses as well as service, the record-high order intake was supported by the booking of a very large order in the Process Automation business area. This is a multi-year order and contributed approximately \$600 million net. For the Group, the positive order development was broad-based, supported by the majority of customer segments and all three regions. In total, orders increased by 16% (14% comparable) to \$9,785 million.

In the Americas orders were up by 27% (28% comparable), with the mid-single digit growth in base orders further fuelled by large bookings. Orders in Europe, were up by 12% (6% comparable). Asia, Middle East and Africa improved by 7% (6% comparable) including a positive development of 4% (2% comparable) in China.

In transport & infrastructure, the trading environment was strong in marine and ports. The market remains strong in rail, although quarterly orders declined due to timing of order placements. Land transport infrastructure benefited from upgrades of electrical equipment.

In the industrial areas a particularly strong development was seen in utilities. The general market sentiment in

the data center segment was very strong and orders increased by double-digits year-on-year.

Orders in the buildings segment improved as weakness in China was more than offset by favorable developments in other regions driven by the commercial sector, while the residential sector declined with regional variances.

In the robotics-related segments, we saw delays in investment decisions by customers due to tariff-related uncertainty. Orders declined in most customer segments outside of consumer electronics. Orders in the machine builder segment increased sharply from a low level, however the absolute order level remained subdued. We anticipate absolute orders to increase sequentially in both the robotics and the machine builder segments.

Orders improved in the mining segment despite a cautious underlying market. Oil & Gas remained broadly stable while declines were noted in pulp & paper and chemicals.

Revenues improved in three out of four business areas and amounted to \$8,900 million, up by 8% (6% comparable). This was supported by backlog execution as well as positive developments in the short-cycle and service businesses. Higher volumes was the main driver of the revenue growth, with some added support from slightly positive pricing.

Earnings

Gross profit

Gross profit increased by 8% (6% constant currency) year-onyear to \$3,574 million, reflecting a gross margin of 40.2%, up 10 basis points year-on-year. Gross margin improved in three out of four business areas.

Income from operations

Income from operations amounted to \$1,573 million and improved by 14% year-on-year. This improvement was driven mainly by a stronger business performance, lower Restructuring-related expenses and the positive year-on-year impact from Sales of businesses where this year's positive contribution compares to a recorded loss in the previous year. In total, the Income from operations margin was 17.7% and improved by 100 basis points.

Operational EBITA

Operational EBITA increased by 9% year-on-year to \$1,708 million, resulting in a 20 basis points margin improvement to 19.2%. This represents improved business performance supported by higher volumes, slightly positive pricing and improved efficiency. These combined positive impacts offset the higher expenses related to Sales, General & Administrative (SG&A) and headwind of 30 basis points year-on-year from

lower positive non-repeats in Corporate & other. Operational EBITA in Corporate and Other amounted to -\$96 million. Underlying corporate costs were \$54 million while the Emobility business reported a loss of \$42 million as the operational performance was hampered by low volumes.

Finance net

Net finance income contributed to results with a positive \$25 million, just below last year's income in the same period of \$33 million.

Income tax

Income tax expense was \$426 million, and the effective tax rate was 26.4%.

Net income and earnings per share

Net income attributable to ABB was \$1,151 million, representing an increase of 5% year-on-year, mainly helped by the impact of improved business performance, partially offset by the higher tax rate year-on-year. Basic earnings per share increased by 6% to \$0.63, up from \$0.59 in the last year period.

Balance sheet & Cash flow

Trade net working capital1

Trade net working capital amounted to \$5,104 million, increasing year-on-year from \$4,825 million. The increase was mainly driven by changes in exchange rates with the increase in receivables and a decrease in trade payables being largely offset by reduction of inventory and higher customer advances. The average trade net working capital as a percentage of revenues1 was 14.1% which declined from 15.6% one year ago.

Capital expenditures

Purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets during the second quarter amounted to \$224 million, higher than last year's \$185 million.

Net debt

Net debt1 amounted to \$3,701 million at the end of the quarter and increased from \$2,480 million year-on-year. The sequential increase from \$1,460 million in the first quarter was mainly due to the dividend distribution and share buyback activity as well as foreign currency impacts.

Cash flows

Cash flow from operating activities during the second quarter was \$1,059 million, which is broadly in line with last year's \$1,067 million as the impact of stronger earnings was offset mainly by growth-related buildup of Net working capital. Free cash flow amounted to \$845 million and the decline from last year's \$918 million was mainly due to the planned higher capex spend.

Share buyback program

A share buyback program of up to \$1.5 billion was launched on February 10, 2025. During the second quarter, ABB repurchased a total of 7,936,678 shares for a total amount of approximately \$430 million. ABB's total number of issued shares, including shares held in treasury, amounts to 1,843,899,204.

Electrification

Orders and revenues

In a robust business environment, new quarterly alltime-highs were achieved for both order intake and revenues. The strong development was supported by improvements across the portfolio in services, shortcycle and systems-related businesses. Book-to-bill was positive at 1.04.

  • Order intake increased by 11% (9% comparable) yearon-year, with a positive development in most customer segments. Momentum was particularly strong for both the medium- and low voltage offering linked to the utilities segment, and for the service business as a whole. A positive development was noted also in commercial buildings, while residential declined with regional variances. Orders in the data center segment improved at a double-digit rate. Investments in the areas of electronics, semiconductors and pharmaceutical also supported order growth.
  • Orders improved in all three regions. The Americas increased by 9% (10% comparable) with a strong development of 13% (13% comparable) in the United States. Europe was up by 13% (6% comparable)

despite a slight decline in the large German market. Asia, Middle East and Africa improved by 13% (11% comparable) with China at 4% (0% comparable) and improvement in several of the mid-sized markets.

• Revenues of \$4,331 million increased by 14% (11% comparable), improving in all divisions. Higher volumes was the main driver to comparable growth with solid execution of the order backlog mainly linked to the medium voltage and power protection offering as well as good customer activity in the short-cycle business. Price was slightly positive.

Profit

A historical first was achieved with Operational EBITA above the \$1 billion mark, increasing by 16% to \$1,033 million, resulting in a margin improvement of 70 basis points to 23.9%.

• The margin improvement was primarily supported by operational leverage on higher volumes and improved operational efficiency.

Motion

Orders and revenues

On orders of \$2,112 million this was yet another quarter above the \$2 billion mark. Growth turned positive year-onyear at 5% (3% comparable) after four quarters in decline, with an increase in the short-cycle businesses more than offsetting the impact from lower large order bookings.

  • Orders increased in the segments of HVAC for commercial buildings, water & wastewater, power generation and food & beverage. A stable trend was noted for oil & gas, while weakness was seen in the process related segments of chemicals, pulp & paper and metals. Rail declined, but mainly due to timing of orders.
  • Orders improved in the Americas by 14% (14% comparable), with the strong improvement of 27% (26% comparable) in the United States positively impacted by timing of orders booked. Europe was up by 1% (-5% comparable). Timing of large order bookings in the prior year limited regional growth in Asia, Middle East and Africa to 0% (0% comparable), although orders in China increased by 9% (9% comparable).

Process Automation

Orders and revenues

Quarterly order intake of \$2,620 million is the highest on record and firmly extends the streak of positive bookto-bill to 19 consecutive quarters. Order intake increased by 45% (40% comparable) and book-to-bill was 1.45.

  • The strong order growth was supported by the booking of a large order which contributed approximately \$600 million net, with deliveries stretching over a multi-year period. Notably, in a firm market environment, orders increased also when excluding the specific large order booking, which supported comparable order intake by about 32%.
  • The market profile was similar to recent quarters, with the strongest customer activity linked to the segments of marine and port automation & electrification, with added support from a positive development in the short-cycle product business – albeit from a low comparable. Orders increased in the mining segment, where the general business environment otherwise remained relatively cautious.

Orders in the oil & gas segment increased, while the more muted process industry related areas were pulp & paper and chemicals.

• Revenues were mainly supported by execution of the project order backlog. The volume increase was the key driver to the year-on-year growth of 5% (2% comparable), for total revenues of \$1,804 million.

Profit

Operational EBITA of \$290 million was up by 10%, representing a 40 basis points improvement in Operational EBITA margin to 15.9%. All divisions delivered at least at the mid-teens margin level.

• Operational EBITA margin improved or remained stable in the project- and systems-related businesses which executed the order backlog with high gross margin. This was partially offset by the product business where profitability softened year-on-year due to revenues being hampered by customers' inventory adjustments.

Robotics & Discrete Automation

Orders and revenues

Business area orders improved by 6% (4% comparable) from last year's low level, to \$729 million. The slight sequential decline in the second quarter is a recurring order pattern.

  • Weaker orders in the Robotics division were due to customers applying a wait-and-see stance on the back of continued uncertainties linked to potential tariffs. This hampered order intake in most customer segments, except for a positive development in consumer electronics. We anticipate orders to increase sequentially.
  • Orders in the Machine Automation division increased sharply from last year's low level. However, the order level remains subdued as customers cautiously balance new ordering with inventory levels. We anticipate absolute orders to increase sequentially.
  • As expected, there was a sequential increase in revenues for the business area, but on a year-on-year basis revenues declined by 2% (5% comparable) to \$813 million. The two divisions show diverging

patterns, with increased volumes in Robotics, while volumes declined sharply in Machine Automation due to less support from the order backlog.

Profit

Impact from operational leverage on significantly lower volumes in the Machine Automation division put pressure on Operational EBITA which declined by 20% to \$74 million. The Operational EBITA margin dropped by 200 basis points year-on-year to 9.1%.

  • In Robotics, both earnings and margin improved slightly year-on-year as the division continued to deliver a double-digit profitability level.
  • Machine Automation delivered a slight loss as savings from cost measures did not offset the adverse impacts from low utilization rates in production as revenues declined.

  • On May 30, ABB announced that ABB's Board of Directors approved to cancel 16,715,684 shares of ABB Ltd repurchased under ABB's 2024 share buyback program. The cancellation of shares was published in the commercial register in May.

The new total number of issued shares and votes of ABB Ltd is 1,843,899,204, compared with 1,860,614,888 before cancellation.

At the end of May, the company's holding of own shares amounted to 15,199,042, which corresponds to 0.82 percent of the total number of issued shares in the company. This includes 9,304,359 shares purchased for capital reduction.

After Q2 2025

• On July 2, ABB Robotics division announced it has launched three new robot families to strengthen its robotics leadership position in China. The extended customer offering helps new industries and customers automate with new mid-market value propositions as we build on our full local value chain in China of manufacturing, research and development to deliver groundbreaking solutions for our customers in businesses of all sizes.

First six months of 2025

In the first six months of 2025, the overall order intake increased significantly, supported by a large order of approximately \$600 million net in the Process Automation business area. A positive development was noted in service and short-cycle as well as projectrelated businesses. Orders increased in three business areas and remained virtually stable in Motion. Overall, orders in the first six months amounted to \$18,998 million and were up 9% (9% comparable), year-on-year.

Revenues were supported by execution of the large order backlog with some additional support from the short-cycle businesses and amounted to \$16,835 million, up by 5% (5% comparable), overall implying a book-tobill of 1.13.

Income from operations in the first half of 2025 amounted to \$3,140 million, significantly up 21% yearon-year. This increase was mainly driven by an improved operational business performance with additional support from lower expenses related to restructurings and gains from sale of businesses after a loss was recorded in the prior year.

Operational EBITA increased by 11% year-on-year to \$3,305 million, and the Operational EBITA margin improved by 130 basis points to 19.7%. The increase was driven by improvements in the Electrification, Motion and Process Automation business areas, as well as lower losses in the E-mobility business. Moreover, an operational net gain of approximately \$140 million relating to a real estate sale in Corporate and Other had a positive impact. This was partially offset by an earnings decline in the Robotics & Discrete Automation business area which continued to be hampered by

adverse impacts from still low utilization rates in production in the Machine Automation division. The main drivers of the margin expansion were operating leverage on higher volumes, slightly positive pricing and improved operational efficiency. Expenses in SG&A increased compared to the prior year period. Corporate and Other Operational EBITA amounted to -\$74 million. This includes a loss of \$89 million that can be attributed to the E-mobility business, which was negatively affected by low volumes and the ongoing reorganization to ensure a more focused portfolio.

Net finance contributed to results with \$32 million, below last year's income of \$53 million. The lower income year-on-year is due to higher interest charges on income tax contingencies, offset partially by lower interest charges on debt. Income tax expense was \$895 million reflecting a tax rate of 28.0%. The increase in tax rate can be attributed to a reduction in certain tax risks which positively impacted the prior year period by 270 basis points.

Net income attributable to ABB was \$2,253 million, up from \$2,001 million year-on-year. Basic earnings per share was \$1.23, representing an increase of 13% compared with the prior year period.

See Notes to the Consolidated Financial Information

─ Note 1

The Company and basis of presentation

ABB Ltd and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) together form a global technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable and resource-efficient future. By connecting its engineering and digitalization expertise, ABB helps industries run at high performance, while becoming more efficient, productive and sustainable so they outperform.

The Company's Consolidated Financial Information is prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting. As such, the Consolidated Financial Information does not include all the information and notes required under U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. Therefore, such financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company's Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The preparation of financial information in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates that directly affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Information. These accounting assumptions and estimates include:

  • estimates to determine valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and amounts recorded for unrecognized tax benefits,
  • estimates related to credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of financial assets such as trade and other receivables, loans and other instruments,
  • estimates of loss contingencies associated with litigation or threatened litigation and other claims and inquiries, environmental damages, product warranties, self-insurance reserves, regulatory and other proceedings,
  • assumptions and projections, principally related to future material, labor and project-related overhead costs, used in determining the percentage-of-completion on projects where revenue is recognized over time, as well as the amount of variable consideration the Company expects to be entitled to,
  • assumptions used in the calculation of pension and postretirement benefits and the fair value of pension plan assets,
  • estimates used to record expected costs for employee severance in connection with restructuring programs,
  • assumptions used in determining inventory obsolescence and net realizable value,
  • growth rates, discount rates and other assumptions used to determine impairment of long-lived assets and in testing goodwill for impairment,
  • estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair values of assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, and
  • estimates and assumptions used in determining the initial fair value of retained noncontrolling interests and certain obligations in connection with divestments.

The actual results and outcomes may differ from the Company's estimates and assumptions.

For classification of certain current assets and liabilities, the Company has elected to use the duration of individual contracts as its operating cycle. Accordingly, there are contract assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, inventories and provisions related to these contracts which will not be realized within one year that have been classified as current. Long-term system integration activities comprise the majority of the Company's activities which have an operating cycle in excess of one year that have been classified as current.

Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited Consolidated Financial Information contains all necessary adjustments to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the reported periods. Management considers all such adjustments to be of a normal recurring nature. The Consolidated Financial Information is presented in United States dollars (\$) unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, numbers presented in the Consolidated Financial Information may not add to the totals provided.

Certain amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Information for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation, as mentioned below in this Note.

Change in accounting policy

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company changed its accounting policy related to the functional classification of information system expenses in the income statement. Previously, the Company allocated information system expenses in the income statement to the functional area based on a headcount approach while, in connection with this change, information systems expenses are allocated to the relevant income statement caption based on the nature of the underlying system.

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect this accounting policy change. In connection with this change, the Company recorded a cumulative-effect reduction of \$69 million to the balance of Retained earnings on January 1, 2023, representing the impact of the policy change on Inventories and the related deferred tax balance. The effect on Net income for the years 2023 and 2024 was not considered significant and therefore no changes have been recorded.

As a result, the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts at December 31, 2024, for Inventories, Deferred taxes (asset), and Retained earnings have changed from \$5,859 million, \$1,341 million and \$20,717 million, respectively, to \$5,768 million, \$1,363 million and \$20,648 million, respectively.

The following table details the reclassification of information systems expenses within the Consolidated Income Statement:

Six months ended June 30, 2024 Three months ended June 30, 2024
(\$ in millions) Before After Before After
Cost of sales of products 8,415 8,204 4,270 4,163
Cost of services and other 1,585 1,538 795 773
Selling, general and administrative expenses 2,806 3,101 1,425 1,573
Non-order related research and development expenses 727 690 364 345

Warranty provision split

In 2025, the Company split the amount previously reported in Provision for warranties into current and non-current components and retroactively recast the amounts for all periods presented. The balance at December 31, 2024, which was previously recorded on a combined basis, of \$1,248 million has been reclassified into Provisions (\$686 million) and Other non-current liabilities (\$562 million). See Note 10 - Commitments and contingencies for additional information.

Adjustment related to prior periods

In the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a cumulative correction to certain reserves for self-insurance. The correction in this liability resulted in a \$58 million reduction in Total cost of sales in the Interim Consolidated Income Statement for the three months ended June 30, 2024, and is included in Corporate and Other Operational EBITA. The Company evaluated the impact of the correction on both a quantitative and qualitative basis under the guidance of ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and determined that there were no material impacts on the trend of net income, cash flows or liquidity for previously issued annual financial statements.

Note 2

Recent accounting pronouncements

Applicable for current periods

Improvements to Income tax disclosures

In January 2025, the Company adopted an accounting standard update which requires the Company to disclose additional information related to income taxes. Under the update, the Company is required to annually disclose by jurisdiction (i) additional disaggregated information within the tax rate reconciliation and (ii) income taxes paid. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update prospectively or retrospectively on its consolidated financial statements. Apart from the additional disclosure requirements, this update does not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Applicable for future periods

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, an accounting standard update was issued which requires the Company to disclose additional information for certain types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, presented in each relevant income statement expense caption (such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses). This update is effective for the Company prospectively, with retrospective adoption permitted, for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3

Acquisitions and divestments

Acquisition of controlling interests

Acquisitions of controlling interests were as follows:

Six months ended June 30, Three months ended June 30,
(\$ in millions, except number of acquired businesses) 2025 2024 2025 2024
Purchase price for acquisitions (net of cash acquired)(1) 551 104 10 75
Aggregate excess of purchase price over
fair value of net assets acquired(2) 436 89 10 60
Number of acquired businesses 4 3 1 1

(1) Excluding changes in cost- and equity-accounted companies.

(2) Recorded as goodwill.

In the table above, the "Purchase price for acquisitions" and "Aggregate excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired" in the six months ended June 30, 2025, relate primarily to the acquisitions of Sensorfact BV and the Siemens Wiring Accessories Business in China.

Acquisitions of controlling interests have been accounted for under the acquisition method and have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

On February 3, 2025, the Company acquired all of the shares of Sensorfact BV. Sensorfact BV, headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, offers a scalable software as a service (SaaS) solution that helps small and medium sized enterprises use AI in their operations and energy management to lower costs and increase efficiency. The cash outflows to complete the transaction amounted to \$148 million (net of cash acquired). This acquisition will expand the Company's portfolio of energy management solutions that use big data and AI within its Electrification segment.

On March 3, 2025, the Company acquired through numerous share and asset purchases all of the assets, liabilities and business activities of the Siemens Wiring Accessories Business in China. The Siemens Wiring Accessories Business offering, which distributes throughout China, includes wiring accessories, smart home systems, smart door locks and further peripheral home automation products. The cash outflows to complete the transaction amounted to \$380 million (net of cash acquired). This acquisition will broaden the market reach of the Company's Electrification segment and complement the segments' regional customer offering within smart buildings.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the purchase price allocation for acquisitions is preliminary for up to 12 months after the acquisition date and is subject to refinement as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information about the fair values of the assets and liabilities becomes available.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company is exposed to certain currency, commodity and interest rate risks arising from its global operating, financing and investing activities. The Company uses derivative instruments to reduce and manage the economic impact of these exposures.

Currency risk

Due to the global nature of the Company's operations, many of its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk in their operating activities from entering into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To manage such currency risks, the Company's policies require its subsidiaries to hedge their foreign currency exposures from binding sales and purchase contracts denominated in foreign currencies. For forecasted foreign currency denominated sales of standard products and the related foreign currency denominated purchases, the Company's policy is to hedge up to a maximum of 100 percent of the forecasted foreign currency denominated exposures, depending on the length of the forecasted exposures. Forecasted exposures greater than 12 months are not hedged. Forward foreign exchange contracts are the main instrument used to protect the Company against the volatility of future cash flows (caused by changes in exchange rates) of contracted and forecasted sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, within its treasury operations, the Company primarily uses foreign exchange swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts to manage the currency and timing mismatches arising in its liquidity management activities.

Commodity risk

Various commodity products are used in the Company's manufacturing activities. Consequently, it is exposed to volatility in future cash flows arising from changes in commodity prices. To manage the price risk of commodities, the Company's policies require that its subsidiaries hedge the commodity price risk exposures from binding contracts, as well as at least 50 percent (up to a maximum of 100 percent) of the forecasted commodity exposure over the next 12 months or longer (up to a maximum of 18 months). Primarily swap contracts are used to manage the associated price risks of commodities.

Interest rate risk

The Company has issued bonds at fixed rates. Interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps are used to manage the interest rate and foreign currency risk associated with certain debt and generally such swaps are designated as fair value hedges. In addition, from time to time, the Company uses instruments such as interest rate swaps, interest rate futures, bond futures or forward rate agreements to manage interest rate risk arising from the Company's balance sheet structure but does not designate such instruments as hedges.

Volume of derivative activity

In general, while the Company's primary objective in its use of derivatives is to minimize exposures arising from its business, certain derivatives are designated and qualify for hedge accounting treatment while others either are not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting.

Foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives

The gross notional amounts of outstanding foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives (whether designated as hedges or not) were as follows:

Type of derivative Total notional amounts at
(\$ in millions) June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 June 30, 2024
Foreign exchange contracts 17,003 12,800 13,924
Embedded foreign exchange derivatives 1,547 1,159 1,131
Cross-currency interest rate swaps 938 833 857
Interest rate contracts 1,762 1,510 1,071

Derivative commodity contracts

The Company uses derivatives to hedge its direct or indirect exposure to the movement in the prices of commodities which are primarily copper, silver, steel and aluminum. The following table shows the notional amounts of outstanding derivatives (whether designated as hedges or not), on a net basis, to reflect the Company's requirements for these commodities:

Type of derivative Unit Total notional amounts at
June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 June 30, 2024
Copper swaps metric tonnes 35,997 40,699 29,453
Silver swaps ounces 2,430,081 2,648,681 1,754,340
Steel swaps metric tonnes 18,144 20,185 16,738
Aluminum swaps metric tonnes 4,700 4,525 5,125

Cash flow hedges

As noted above, the Company mainly uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk of its operations and commodity swaps to manage its commodity risks. The Company applies cash flow hedge accounting in only limited cases. In these cases, the effective portion of the changes in their fair value is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same line item and in the same period as the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were no significant amounts recorded for cash flow hedge accounting activities.

Fair value hedges

To reduce its interest rate exposure arising primarily from its debt issuance activities, the Company uses interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps. Where such instruments are designated as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of these instruments, as well as the changes in the fair value of the risk component of the underlying debt being hedged, are recorded as offsetting gains and losses in Interest and other finance expense.

The effect of derivative instruments, designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, on the Consolidated Income Statements was as follows:

Six months ended June 30, Three months ended June 30,
(\$ in millions) 2025 2024 2025 2024
Gains (losses) recognized in Interest and other finance expense:
Interest rate contracts Designated as fair value hedges (1) 10 4 (3)
Hedged item 1 (10) (4) 4
Cross-currency interest rate swaps Designated as fair value hedges 2 (5) 3 (2)
Hedged item 6 (2) 3

Derivatives not designated in hedge relationships

Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or do not qualify as either cash flow or fair value hedges are economic hedges used for risk management purposes. Gains and losses from changes in the fair values of such derivatives are recognized in the same line in the income statement as the economically hedged transaction.

Furthermore, under certain circumstances, the Company is required to split and account separately for foreign currency derivatives that are embedded within certain binding sales or purchase contracts denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary and the counterparty.

The gains (losses) recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements on derivatives not designated in hedging relationships were as follows:

Close-out netting agreements provide for the termination, valuation and net settlement of some or all outstanding transactions between two counterparties on the occurrence of one or more pre-defined trigger events.

Although the Company is party to close-out netting agreements with most derivative counterparties, the fair values in the tables above and in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, have been presented on a gross basis.

The Company's netting agreements and other similar arrangements allow net settlements under certain conditions. At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:

Fair values

The Company uses fair value measurement principles to record certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis and, when necessary, to record certain non-financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, as well as to determine fair value disclosures for certain financial instruments carried at amortized cost in the financial statements. Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include foreign currency, commodity and interest rate derivatives, as well as available-for-sale securities. Non-financial assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include long-lived assets that are reduced to their estimated fair value due to impairments.

Fair value is the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation techniques including the market approach (using observable market data for identical or similar assets and liabilities), the income approach (discounted cash flow models) and the cost approach (using costs a market participant would incur to develop a comparable asset). Inputs used to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities are defined by a three-level hierarchy, depending on the nature of those inputs. The Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets measured at fair value within this hierarchy based on whether the inputs to the valuation technique are observable or unobservable. An observable input is based on market data obtained from independent sources, while an unobservable input reflects the Company's assumptions about market data.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

  • Level 1: Valuation inputs consist of quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities (observable quoted prices). Assets and liabilities valued using Level 1 inputs include exchange‑traded equity securities, listed derivatives which are actively traded such as commodity futures, interest rate futures and certain actively traded debt securities.
  • Level 2: Valuation inputs consist of observable inputs (other than Level 1 inputs) such as actively quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in inactive markets and inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, or inputs derived from other observable data by interpolation, correlation, regression or other means. The adjustments applied to quoted prices or the inputs used in valuation models may be both observable and unobservable. In these cases, the fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 unless the unobservable portion of the adjustment or the unobservable input to the valuation model is significant, in which case the fair value measurement would be classified as Level 3. Assets and liabilities valued or disclosed using Level 2 inputs include investments in certain funds, certain debt securities that are not actively traded, interest rate swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps, commodity swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign exchange swaps and forward rate agreements, time deposits, as well as financing receivables and debt.

Level 3: Valuation inputs are based on the Company's assumptions of relevant market data (unobservable input).

Whenever quoted prices involve bid-ask spreads, the Company ordinarily determines fair values based on mid-market quotes. When determining fair values based on quoted prices in an active market, the Company considers if the level of transaction activity for the financial instrument has significantly decreased or would not be considered orderly. In such cases, the resulting changes in valuation techniques would be disclosed. If the market is considered disorderly or if quoted prices are not available, the Company is required to use another valuation technique, such as an income approach.

Recurring fair value measures

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

June 30, 2025
(\$ in millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total fair value
Assets

Liabilities
Derivative liabilities—current in "Other current liabilities" 143 143
Derivative liabilities—non-current in "Other non-current liabilities" 276 276
Total 419 419

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

  • Securities in "Marketable securities and short-term investments": If quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets are available, these are considered Level 1 inputs; however, when markets are not active, these inputs are considered Level 2. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined using market prices for similar assets or present value techniques, applying an appropriate risk-free interest rate adjusted for non-performance risk. The inputs used in present value techniques are observable and fall into the Level 2 category.
  • Derivatives: The fair values of derivative instruments are determined using quoted prices of identical instruments from an active market, if available (Level 1 inputs). If quoted prices are not available, price quotes for similar instruments, appropriately adjusted, or present value techniques, based on available market data, or option pricing models are used. The fair values obtained using price quotes for similar instruments or valuation techniques represent a Level 2 input unless significant unobservable inputs are used.

Non-recurring fair value measures

There were no significant non-recurring fair value measurements during the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Disclosure about financial instruments carried on a cost basis

The fair values of financial instruments carried on a cost basis were as follows:

(excluding finance lease obligations) 265 188 77 265
Long-term debt (excluding finance lease obligations) 6,486 6,012 551 6,563

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair values of financial instruments carried on a cost basis:

• Cash and equivalents (excluding securities with original maturities up to 3 months) and Marketable securities and short-term investments (excluding securities): The carrying amounts approximate the fair values as the items are short-term in nature or, for cash held in banks, are equal to the deposit amount.

• Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt (excluding finance lease obligations): Short-term debt includes commercial paper, bank borrowings and overdrafts. The carrying amounts of short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, excluding finance lease obligations, approximate their fair values.

• Long-term debt (excluding finance lease obligations): Fair values of bonds are determined using quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs), if available. For bonds without available quoted market prices and other long-term debt, the fair values are determined using a discounted cash flow methodology based upon borrowing rates of similar debt instruments and reflecting appropriate adjustments for non-performance risk (Level 2 inputs).

Contract assets and liabilities

The following table provides information about Contract assets and Contract liabilities:

(\$ in millions) June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024 June 30, 2024
Contract assets 1,301 1,115 1,118
Contract liabilities 3,354 2,969 2,973

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company's right to receive consideration for work completed but for which no invoice has been issued at the reporting date. Contract assets are transferred to receivables when rights to receive payment become unconditional. Management expects that the majority of the amounts will be collected within one year of the respective balance sheet date.

Contract liabilities primarily relate to up-front advances received on orders from customers as well as amounts invoiced to customers in excess of revenues recognized predominantly on long-term projects. Contract liabilities are reduced as work is performed and as revenues are recognized.

The significant changes in the Contract assets and Contract liabilities balances were as follows:

Six months ended June 30,
2025 2024
Contract Contract Contract Contract
(\$ in millions) assets liabilities assets liabilities
Revenue recognized, which was included in the Contract liabilities balance at Jan 1, 2025/2024 (1,246) (1,084)
Additions to Contract liabilities - excluding amounts recognized as revenue during the period 1,415 1,301
Receivables recognized that were included in the Contract assets balance at Jan 1, 2025/2024 (544) (516)

The Company considers its order backlog to represent its unsatisfied performance obligations. At June 30, 2025, the Company had unsatisfied performance obligations totaling \$24,975 million and, of this amount, the Company expects to fulfill approximately 46 percent of the obligations in 2025, approximately 32 percent of the obligations in 2026 and the balance thereafter.

Note 8

Supplier finance programs

The Company has several supplier finance programs, all with similar characteristics, with various financial institutions acting as paying agent. These programs allow qualifying suppliers access to bank facilities which permit earlier payment at a cost to the supplier. The Company's payment terms related to suppliers' finance programs are not impacted by the suppliers' decisions to sell amounts under the arrangements and are typically consistent with local market practices. Outstanding supplier finance obligations are included in Accounts payable, trade in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reported as operating or investing (if capitalized) activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows when paid. At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total obligation outstanding under supplier finance programs amounted to \$468 million and \$435 million, respectively.

Note 9

Debt

The Company's total debt at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, amounted to \$8,813 million and \$6,945 million, respectively.

Short-term debt 322 83
Current maturities of long-term debt 236 210
Total 558 293

Short-term debt primarily represented issued commercial paper and short-term bank borrowings from various banks. At June 30, 2025, \$225 million was outstanding under the \$2 billion Euro-commercial paper program, no amount was outstanding under this program at December 31, 2024.

Long-term debt

The Company's long-term debt at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, amounted to \$8,255 million and \$6,652 million, respectively.

Commitments and contingencies

Contingencies—Regulatory, Compliance and Legal

General

The Company is subject to proceedings, litigation or threatened litigation and other claims and inquiries related to various regulatory, commercial and other matters. The Company assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the provision required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each individual issue, with assistance, when necessary, from internal and external legal counsel and technical experts.

At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had aggregate liabilities of \$48 million and \$83 million, respectively, included in Provisions and Other non‑current liabilities, for the regulatory, compliance and legal contingencies, and none of the individual liabilities recognized was significant. As it is not possible to make an informed judgment on, or reasonably predict, the outcome of certain matters and as it is not possible, based on information currently available to management, to estimate the maximum potential liability on other matters, there could be adverse outcomes beyond the amounts accrued.

Guarantees

General

The following table provides quantitative data regarding the Company's third-party guarantees. The maximum potential payments represent a "worst-case scenario", and do not reflect management's expected outcomes.

Maximum potential payments (\$ in millions) June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Performance guarantees 2,114 2,299
Financial guarantees 20 22
Total(1) 2,134 2,321

(1) Maximum potential payments include amounts in both continuing and discontinued operations.

The carrying amount of liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets reflects the Company's best estimate of future payments, which it may incur as part of fulfilling its guarantee obligations. In respect of the above guarantees, the carrying amounts of liabilities at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, were not significant.

The Company is party to various guarantees providing financial or performance assurances to certain third parties. These guarantees, which have various maturities up to 2049, mainly consist of performance guarantees whereby (i) the Company guarantees the performance of a third party's product or service according to the terms of a contract and (ii) as member of a consortium/joint-venture that includes third parties, the Company guarantees not only its own performance but also the work of third parties. Such guarantees may include guarantees that a project will be completed within a specified time. If the third party does not fulfill the obligation, the Company will compensate the guaranteed party in cash or in kind. The original maturity dates for the majority of these performance guarantees range from one to ten years.

In conjunction with the divestment of the high-voltage cable and cables accessories businesses in 2017, the Company has entered into various performance guarantees with other parties with respect to certain liabilities of the divested business. At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the maximum potential payable under these guarantees amounts to \$845 million and \$747 million, respectively, and these guarantees have various original maturities up to ten years.

The Company retained obligations for financial and performance guarantees related to its former Power Grids business (reported as discontinued operations prior to its sale to Hitachi Ltd in 2020), which at both June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, have been fully indemnified by Hitachi Ltd. These guarantees, having various maturities up to 2049, primarily consist of bank guarantees, standby letters of credit, business performance guarantees and other trade-related guarantees, the majority of which have original maturity dates ranging from one to ten years. The maximum amount payable under these guarantees at June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, is approximately \$0.9 billion and \$1.1 billion, respectively.

Commercial commitments

In addition, in the normal course of bidding for and executing certain projects, the Company has entered into standby letters of credit, bid/performance bonds and surety bonds (collectively "performance bonds") with various financial institutions. Customers can draw on such performance bonds in the event that the Company does not fulfill its contractual obligations. The Company would then have an obligation to reimburse the financial institution for amounts paid under the performance bonds. At June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the total outstanding performance bonds aggregated to \$3.5 billion and \$3.2 billion, respectively. There have been no significant amounts reimbursed to financial institutions under these types of arrangements in the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Product and order-related contingencies

The Company calculates its provision for product warranties based on historical claims experience and specific review of certain contracts. The reconciliation of the Provisions for warranties, including guarantees of product performance, was as follows:

(\$ in millions) 2025 2024
Balance at January 1, 1,248 1,210

"Other non-current liabilities" — non-current liabilities 639 574
Provisions for warranties - Total 1,372 1,212

Note 11

Income taxes

In calculating income tax expense, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and circumstances known at each interim period. On a quarterly basis, the actual effective tax rate is adjusted, as appropriate, based upon changed facts and circumstances, if any, as compared to those forecasted at the beginning of the year and each interim period thereafter.

The effective tax rate of 28.0 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2025, was higher than the effective tax rate of 24.5 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a net benefit of \$72 million from a partial reversal of an uncertain tax position related to the reassessment of certain tax risks in the six months ended June 30, 2024. This resulted in an increase of \$0.04 in earnings per share (basic and diluted) for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024.

Employee benefits

The Company operates defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plans, and termination indemnity plans, in accordance with local regulations and practices. At June 30, 2025, the Company's most significant defined benefit pension plans are in Switzerland as well as in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These plans cover a large portion of the Company's employees and provide benefits to employees in the event of death, disability, retirement, or termination of employment. Certain of these plans are multi-employer plans. The Company also operates other postretirement benefit plans including postretirement health care benefits and other employee-related benefits for active employees including long-service award plans. The postretirement benefit plans are not significant. The measurement date used for the Company's employee benefit plans is December 31. The funding policies of the Company's plans are consistent with the local government and tax requirements.

Net periodic benefit cost of the Company's defined benefit pension plans consists of the following:

(\$ in millions) Defined pension benefits

Stockholders' equity

At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on March 27, 2025, shareholders approved the proposal of the Board of Directors to distribute 0.90 Swiss francs per share to shareholders. The declared dividend amounted to \$1,867 million, and was paid in the second quarter of 2025.

In February 2025, the Company announced the completion of its \$1 billion share buyback program that was launched in April 2024. This program was executed on a second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Also in February 2025, the Company launched a new share buyback program of up to \$1.5 billion, as announced in late January 2025. This program, which is being executed on a second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange, is planned to run until January 2026. Under these buyback programs, the Company purchased approximately 14 million shares in the six months ended June 30, 2025, resulting in an increase in Treasury stock of \$746 million.

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company cancelled 17 million shares which had been purchased under its share buyback program. This resulted in a decrease in Treasury stock of \$894 million and a corresponding total decrease in Capital stock, Additional paid-in capital and Retained earnings.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period, assuming that all potentially dilutive securities were exercised, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities comprise outstanding written call options, and outstanding options and shares granted subject to certain conditions under the Company's share-based payment arrangements.

Note 16

Operating segment data

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using the information outlined below. The Company is organized into the following segments, based on products and services: Electrification, Motion, Process Automation and Robotics & Discrete Automation. The remaining operations of the Company are included in Corporate and Other.

Effective January 1, 2025, the Company changed its accounting policy related to the functional classification of information system expenses in the income statement. Under the new policy, information systems expenses are now allocated to the relevant income statement caption based on the nature of the underlying system and the Total segment assets of each individual operating segment have been retroactively restated for the impact of the policy change on Inventories and the related deferred tax balance (see Note 1). The segment information for the six and three months ended June 30, 2024, and at December 31, 2024, has been recast to reflect this change.

A description of the types of products and services provided by each reportable segment is as follows:

• Electrification: manufactures and sells electrical products and solutions which are designed to provide the efficient and reliable distribution of electricity from source to socket. The portfolio of increasingly digital and connected solutions includes renewable power solutions, modular substation packages, distribution automation products, switchboards and panelboards, switchgear, UPS solutions, circuit breakers, measuring and sensing devices, control products, wiring accessories, enclosures and cabling systems and intelligent home and building solutions, designed to integrate and automate lighting, heating, ventilation, security and data communication networks. The products and services are delivered through five operating Divisions: Distribution Solutions, Smart Power, Smart Buildings, Installation Products and Service.

  • Motion: designs, manufactures, and sells drives, motors, generators and traction converters that are driving the low-carbon future for industries, cities, infrastructure and transportation. These products, digital technology and related services enable industrial customers to increase energy efficiency, improve safety and reliability, and achieve precise control of their processes. Building on over 140 years of cumulative experience in electric powertrains, Motion combines domain expertise and technology to deliver the optimum solution for a wide range of applications in all industrial segments. In addition, Motion, along with its partners, has a leading global service presence. Through June 30, 2025, these products and services are delivered through seven operating Divisions: Large Motors and Generators, IEC LV Motors, NEMA Motors, Drive Products, System Drives, Service and Traction. Effective July 1, 2025, the Large Motors and Generators and System Drives divisions will merge to form the High Power division.
  • Process Automation: offers a broad range of industry-specific, integrated automation, electrification and digital solutions, as well as lifecycle services for the process, hybrid and marine industries. The product portfolio includes control technologies, industrial software, advanced analytics, sensing and measurement technology, and marine propulsion systems. In addition, Process Automation offers a comprehensive range of services, from repair to advanced digital capabilities such as remote monitoring, preventive maintenance, asset performance management, emission monitoring and cybersecurity. The products, systems and services are delivered through four operating Divisions: Energy Industries, Process Industries, Marine & Ports and Measurement & Analytics.
  • Robotics & Discrete Automation: delivers its products, solutions and services through two operating Divisions. Robotics provides industrial and collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robotics, mapping and navigation solutions, robotic solutions, field services, spare parts and digital services. Machine Automation specializes in automation solutions based on its programmable logic controllers (PLC), industrial PCs (IPC), servo motion, transport systems and machine vision. Both divisions offer software across the entire life cycle, including engineering and simulation software as well as a comprehensive range of digital solutions.

Corporate and Other: Corporate includes headquarter costs, the Company's corporate real estate activities and Corporate Treasury while Other includes the E-mobility operating segment and other non-core operating activities as well as the operating activities of certain divested businesses.

The primary measure of profitability on which the operating segments are evaluated is Operational EBITA, which represents income from operations excluding:

  • amortization expense on intangibles arising upon acquisition (acquisition-related amortization),
  • restructuring, related and implementation costs,
  • changes in the amount recorded for obligations related to divested businesses occurring after the divestment date (changes in obligations related to divested businesses),
  • gains and losses from sale of businesses (including fair value adjustment on assets and liabilities held for sale, if any),
  • acquisition- and divestment-related expenses and integration costs,
  • certain other non-operational items, as well as
  • foreign exchange/commodity timing differences in income from operations consisting of: (a) unrealized gains and losses on derivatives (foreign exchange, commodities, embedded derivatives), (b) realized gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged transaction has not yet been realized, and (c) unrealized foreign exchange movements on receivables/payables (and related assets/liabilities).

Certain other non-operational items generally includes certain regulatory, compliance and legal costs, certain asset write downs/impairments and certain other fair value changes, as well as other items which are determined by management on a case-by-case basis.

For all operating segments, the primary performance measure the CODM uses to allocate resources (including capital expenditure and financial resources) and assess performance as part of the monthly business review process is Operational EBITA. As part of this review process, current year-to-date budget-to-actual variances are provided (inclusive of key deviations) along with forecasted annual expectations and plans to address any negative variances. Operational EBITA is also used to assess segment performance against targets set in the annual incentive plans as part of the compensation of the Company's employees.

The CODM primarily reviews the results of each segment on a basis that is before the elimination of profits made on inventory sales between segments. Segment results below are presented before these eliminations, with a total deduction for intersegment profits to arrive at the Company's consolidated Operational EBITA. Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for as if the sales and transfers were to third parties, at current market prices.

For a category of expense to be classified as a significant segment expense, it must be significant to the segment, regularly provided to or easily computed from information regularly provided to the CODM and included in the primary measure of profitability. Significant segment expenses include Operational cost of sales, Operational selling, general and administrative expenses, and Operational non-order related research and development costs, which respectively are comprised of Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding bad debt expense), and Non-order related research and development costs, with each of these expense categories being adjusted to exclude any costs incurred on behalf of other segments and any relevant non-operational items (as defined above).

Other segment items represent Other income (expense) excluding its respective components of non-operational items (as defined above), bad debt expense, and foreign exchange/commodity timing differences in total revenues.

The following tables present disaggregated segment revenues from contracts with customers, significant segment expenses, and Operational EBITA for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Q2 2025 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

— Supplemental Reconciliations and Definitions

The following reconciliations and definitions include alternative performance measures which ABB uses to supplement its Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited) which is prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). Certain of these financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP.

While ABB's management believes that the measures herein are useful in evaluating ABB's operating results, this information s hould be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance wit h U.S. GAAP. Therefore these measures should not be viewed in isolation but considered together with the Consolidated Financial Informatio n (unaudited) prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as of and for the six and three months ended June 30, 2025.

Effective January 1, 2025, ABB changed its accounting policy related to the functional classification of its information system expenses in the income statement. As a result, the consolidated financial statements for 2024 and 2023 have been retroactively restated to reflect this accounting policy change. See Note 1 - The Company and basis of presentation for details.

Comparable growth rates

Growth rates for certain key figures may be presented and discussed on a "comparable" basis. The comparable growth rate measures growth on a constant currency basis. Since we are a global company, the comparability of our operating results reported in U.S. dollars is affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We calculate the impacts from foreign currency fluctuations by translating the current-year periods' reported key figures into U.S. dollar amounts using the exchange rates in effect for the comparable periods in the previous year.

Comparable growth rates are also adjusted for changes in our business portfolio. Adjustments to our business portfolio occur due to acquisitions, divestments, or by exiting specific business activities or customer markets. The adjustment for portfolio changes is calculated as follows: where the results of any business acquired or divested have not been consolidated and reported for the entire duration of both the current and comparable periods, the reported key figures of such business are adjusted to exclude the relevant key figures of any corresponding quarters which are not comparable when computing the comparable growth rate. Certain portfolio changes which do not qualify as divestments under U.S. GAAP have been treated in a similar manner to divestments. Changes in our portfolio where we have exited certain business activities or customer markets are adjusted as if the relevant business was divested in the period when the decision to cease business activities was taken. We do not adjust for portfolio changes where the relevant business has annualized revenues of less than \$50 million.

The following tables provide reconciliations of reported growth rates of certain key figures to their respective comparable growth rate.

Operational EBITA as % of operational revenues (Operational EBITA margin)

Definition

Operational EBITA margin

Operational EBITA margin is Operational EBITA as a percentage of operational revenues.

Operational EBITA

Operational earnings before interest, taxes and acquisition-related amortization (Operational EBITA) represents Income from operations excluding:

  • acquisition-related amortization (as defined below),
  • restructuring, related and implementation costs,
  • changes in the amount recorded for obligations related to divested businesses occurring after the divestment date (changes in obligations related to divested businesses),
  • gains and losses from sale of businesses (including fair value adjustment on assets and liabilities held for sale, if any),
  • acquisition- and divestment-related expenses and integration costs,
  • certain other non-operational items, as well as
  • foreign exchange/commodity timing differences in income from operations consisting of: (a) unrealized gains and losses on derivatives (foreign exchange, commodities, embedded derivatives), (b) realized gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged transaction has not yet been realized, and (c) unrealized foreign exchange movements on receivables/payables (and related assets/liabilities).

Certain other non-operational items generally includes certain regulatory, compliance and legal costs, certain asset write downs/impairments and certain other fair value changes, as well as other items which are determined by management on a case-by-case basis.

Operational EBITA is our measure of segment profit but is also used by management to evaluate the profitability of the Company as a whole.

Acquisition-related amortization

Amortization expense on intangibles arising upon acquisitions.

Restructuring, related and implementation costs

Restructuring, related and implementation costs consists of restructuring and other related expenses, as well as internal and external costs relating to the implementation of group-wide restructuring programs.

Operational revenues

The Company presents operational revenues solely for the purpose of allowing the computation of Operational EBITA margin. Operational revenues are Total revenues adjusted for foreign exchange/commodity timing differences in total revenues of: (i) unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, (ii) realized gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged transaction has not yet been realized, and (iii) unrealized foreign exchange movements on receivables (and related assets). Operational revenues are not intended to be an alternative measure to Total revenues, which represent our revenues measured in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Return on Capital employed (ROCE)

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company modified its definition of Return on Capital employed (ROCE) to utilize a four-quarter average of Capital employed in place of a simple average of the annual period's opening and closing Capital employed. The change to an averaging method allows for a comparable ratio that can be presented quarterly compared to our previous annual disclosure. In addition, a fixed notional tax rate (subject to review for significant changes) is used. The new definition is provided below.

Definition

Return on Capital employed (ROCE)

Return on Capital employed (ROCE) is calculated as Operational EBITA after tax for the trailing twelve months divided by the average of the opening and closing Capital employed for each of the four quarters during the trailing twelve-month period (4-quarter average).

Capital employed

Capital employed is calculated as the sum of Adjusted total fixed assets and Net working capital (as defined above).

Adjusted total fixed assets

Adjusted total fixed assets is the sum of (i) property, plant and equipment, net, (ii) goodwill, (iii) other intangible assets, net, (iv) investments in equity-accounted companies, (v) operating lease right-of-use assets, and (vi) fixed assets included in assets held for sale, less (vii) deferred tax liabilities recognized in certain acquisitions.

Notional tax on Operational EBITA

The Notional tax on Operational EBITA is computed using a consistent notional tax rate, approximately representative of the Company's weightedaverage global tax rate, multiplied by Operational EBITA. The notional tax rate is subject to adjustment for significant changes in the Company's weighted-average global tax rate.
