Press Release

===== SIDA 2 =====

AB B  IN TE RIM RE P ORT  I Q2  20 24  2 
 
The second quarter was, in my view, another proof point 
that the operational changes from the introduction of the 
ABB Way in 2020 are making ABB a sustainably well-running 
company. We reached a new record-high Operational EBITA 
margin, good cash flow and we announced a somewhat 
more sizeable acquisition. Overall, I am pleased with the 
outcome.  
Comparable orders remained on par with last year’s high 
level, supported by strong improvements in both the 
Electrification and Process Automation business areas. This 
was however offset by weakness primarily in the Machine 
Automation and E-mobility businesses, as well as by a 
softening from a fairly challenging comparable in the 
Motion business area. We saw short-cycle orders improve, 
hence turning a corner after several quarters of decline. In 
the project- and systems-related businesses we see a 
continued solid underlying customer activity with an intact 
robust project pipeline. 
Revenues amounted to the high level of $8.2 billion, yet we 
still managed to deliver a positive book-to-bill of 1.02. With 
the first half of this year at 1.08 and the currently expected 
overall solid market environment, we feel confident in 
reaching a positive book-to-bill for 2024. Operational EBITA 
margin was 19.0%, supported by both higher volumes and 
positive price impacts, with the Corporate line items also 
contributing positively on aggregate. 
Free cash flow of $918 million improved from last year and 
the run-rate of $1.5 billion in the first half of the year leaves 
us in a good position to deliver on our annual ambition to 
be at least at a similar level as last year. 
Enabling a low-carbon society is at the core of ABB’s 
business, and we are pleased that our scope 1, 2 and 3 
targets for 2030 and 2050 were approved by the Science 
Based Target initiative (SBTi), in accordance with the Paris 
Agreement. We are committed to reduce our scope 1 and 2 
emissions by 80 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050. 
With our new scope 3 target of reducing absolute emissions 
by 25% from a 2022 baseline, we will increase our 
engagement with our value chain partners on 
decarbonization whilst providing products and solutions to 
our customers to enable them to scale-up renewables, 
increase energy efficiency, electrify processes and reduce 
emissions. 
One example of how we drive R&D towards energy efficient 
solutions, is the newly launched OmniCore control platform 
which enables robots to operate up to 25% faster and 
consume up to 20% less energy compared with the 
previous version. OmniCore enables management of 
motion, sensors and application equipment in a unique, 
single control architecture – one platform, and one 
language that integrates our complete range of leading 
hardware and software. 
 
As an extension of our R&D activities we invest in minority 
stakes in technology start-ups, which later may be fully 
integrated into the ABB family. For example, during the 
quarter we invested in two clean technology start-ups – 
Ndustrial and GridBeyond – offering AI powered solutions 
for real time optimized energy consumption for accelerated 
decarbonization as well as optimized distributed energy 
resources and industrial loads. 
It was very good to see the Electrification business area 
announcing a somewhat more sizeable acquisition. When 
the deal closes, the Smart Buildings division will expand its 
portfolio with the acquisition of Siemens’ Wiring 
Accessories business in China, which generated more than 
$150 million in revenues in 2023. The acquisition will 
broaden our market reach and complement the regional 
customer offering to a full range of safe and reliable smart 
buildings technology. 
Both myself and Morten – who soon assumes the role of 
ABB CEO – are thrilled about the internal appointments of 
Giampiero Frisio as the new President of the Electrification 
Business Area and Brandon Spencer as the new President of 
the Motion Business Area. Both are proven leaders with 
strong ABB Way leadership track records, driving profitable 
growth in two of our largest Divisions. 
I am very proud of having been a part of ABB. Above all I feel 
privileged to have gotten to know the people – a very 
capable and committed team with a passion for business. 
Leveraging the ABB Way operating model has contributed 
to bringing our financial performance towards a best-in-
class level, and fully integrating ABB sustainability as part of 
our core customer proposition as well as driving our own 
operations to being part of a low carbon industrial solution. 
When Morten takes over as CEO from next month, he will 
bring his vast experience of our leading technology and his 
customer understanding from his 25+ years in the ABB 
commercial front lines. I am confident that he will challenge 
the team to further refine the ABB Way for profitable and 
sustainable growth. As I retire from ABB, I wish all future 
success for the team. 
 
 
 
Björn Rosengren 
CEO 
 
In the third quarter of 2024, we anticipate a sequentially 
higher growth rate in comparable revenues and the 
Operational EBITA margin be around 18.5%, or slightly 
below. 
In full-year 2024, we expect a positive book-to-bill, 
comparable revenue growth to be about 5% and the 
Operational EBITA margin to be about 18%.
Outlook 
CEO summary

===== SIDA 3 =====

AB B  IN TE RIM RE P ORT  I Q2  20 24  3 
 
Order intake amounted to $8,435 million, representing a 
year-on-year decline of 3% (0% comparable). Strong 
order growth was recorded for both the Electrification 
and Process Automation business areas. This was 
however offset by weakness primarily in the discrete 
automation-related Machine Automation division and in 
the E-mobility business. Order intake in the Motion 
business area also declined from a fairly challenging 
comparable. Overall, there was a positive development 
in the short-cycle orders. The underlying business 
environment in the projects and systems businesses 
remained robust, although large order bookings 
declined from last year’s high level. 
The market environment in the Americas was strong, 
however order intake dropped by 6% (4% comparable) 
due to the impact of timing of large orders booked last 
year, mainly linked to the United States. Europe declined 
by 5% (4% comparable) mainly related to the weak 
demand in the machine builder segment in Robotics and 
Discrete Automation. Asia, Middle East and Africa 
improved year-on-year by 4% (9% comparable) on 
strong comparable development in countries like 
Australia and parts of the Middle East, offsetting the 
decline in China. The market environment in China is 
stabilizing, with both the Electrification and Motion 
business areas recording only low single-digit declines 
year-on-year. Sequentially, group orders remained 
stable in China.  
In transport & infrastructure, there were positive 
developments in marine, ports and rail.  
In the Industrial areas a particularly strong development 
was seen in data centers. 
Orders in the buildings segment improved overall, due 
to the combined impact from a positive development in 
the commercial area, most pronounced in the United 
States, while the residential segment was weak in all 
regions.  
In the robotics-related segments, orders declined in 
automotive but improved in general industry and 
consumer-related segments. The machine builder 
segment declined as customers normalized order 
patterns after earlier pre-buys and a softer underlying 
market. 
In the process-related areas, orders improved in power 
generation, chemicals, while customer activity remained 
broadly stable in oil & gas, with a negative order 
development in pulp & paper, metals and mining. 
Revenues of $8,239 million improved by 1% (4% com-
parable) mainly driven by volumes, but also by positive price 
developments. Execution of the strong order backlog, 
added to the broadly stable development in the short-cycle 
businesses.

Gross profit 
Gross profit increased by 10% (12% constant currency) year-on-
year to $3,174 million, reflecting a gross margin improvement 
of 310 basis points to 38.5%. Gross margin improved in three 
out of four business areas.  
Income from operations 
Income from operations amounted to $1,376 million and 
improved by 6% year-on-year. This was driven primarily by a 
stronger operational performance with some additional 
support from currency hedges year-on-year, which more than 
offset the impacts from higher restructuring expenses as well 
as gains and losses from sale of businesses. Margin on Income 
from operations was 16.7%, up by 80 basis points.  
 
Operational EBITA  
Operational EBITA improved by 10% year-on-year to $1,564 
million and the margin increased by 150 basis points to a new 
all-time-high of 19.0%. Contribution from operational leverage 
on higher volumes and a positive price impact more than 
offset the slightly higher expenses related to Research & 
development (R&D) and Selling general and administrative 
(SG&A) expenses. Operational EBITA in Corporate and Other 
amounted to -$67 million. The Corporate-related items netted 
out to a contribution of $20 million. This is the total of 
underlying Corporate operational expenses of approximately 
$55 million and positive impacts of about $75 million related 
to a reduction of a self-insurance provision and a provision 
reversal linked to the non-core business. The remaining -$87 
million relate to the E-mobility business, which recorded $48 
million of impairments primarily linked to inventories. The 
operational performance was hampered by the ongoing 
reorganization to ensure a more focused portfolio. 
Finance net 
Net finance income contributed to results with a positive $33 
million, an improvement from last year’s expense of $25 million. 
The year-on-year improvement is due to a combination of a 
lower net debt position and favorable mix of interest rates 
between borrowings and cash deposits.  
Income tax 
Income tax expense was $315 million with an effective tax rate 
of 22.2%, lowered by about 500 basis points due to a 
reassessment of certain tax risks.    
Net income and earnings per share 
Net income attributable to ABB was $1,096 million, representing 
an increase of 21% from last year, driven by improved operational 
performance, the contribution from net financial income and the 
lower tax rate. This resulted in basic earnings per share of $0.59, 
up from $0.49 in the last year period.

Net working capital 
Net working capital amounted to $3,607 million, 
decreasing year-on-year from $4,585 million as lower 
inventories, higher customer advances and higher 
accounts payable more than offset an increase in 
contract assets. Net working capital as a percentage of 
revenues1 was 11.2%, a decline from 14.7% one year ago, 
improving in virtually all key components of net working 
capital. 
Capital expenditures 
Purchases of property, plant and equipment and 
intangible assets amounted to $185 million.  
Net debt 
Net debt1 amounted to $2,480 million at the end of the 
quarter and decreased from $4,165 million year-on-year. 
The decrease was mainly driven by strong free cash flow. 
The sequential increase from $2,086 million was due 
mainly to the second portion of the dividend payment and 
the purchase of treasury stock, partially offset by strong 
operating cash flows.  
Cash flows 
Cash flow from operating activities was $1,067 million and 
increased year-on-year from $760 million. All business areas 
increased cash flow from operating activities, driven 
primarily by a lower build-up of net working capital year-on-
year, mainly related to inventories and trade receivables as 
well as to a sequential increase in accounts payables. 
Additional support stemmed from a slight increase in 
operational performance. 
Share buyback program 
A new share buyback program of up to $1 billion was 
launched on April 1, 2024, and will run to January 31, 2025. 
During the second quarter, ABB repurchased a total of 
3,754,257 shares for a total amount of approximately $190

Orders and revenues 
In a buoyant market environment, Electrification orders 
benefited from strong growth in the short-cycle 
businesses and solid underlying project- and systems-
related customer activity, although large order bookings 
softened somewhat from last year’s record-high level. 
Total order intake amounted to $4,073 million, up 3% 
(7% comparable) year-on-year. 
• Orders remained stable or increased in most 
customer segments with particular strength in data 
centers and infrastructure. The buildings segment 
also improved supported by a positive development in 
the commercial area driven by the United States, 
which more than offset weakness in the residential 
area.  
• From a geographical perspective comparable order 
intake improved in all three regions. Europe was up by 
5% (7% comparable) with growth in all the larger 
markets. Growth in the Americas was hampered by 
the timing of project orders booked in last year’s 
period and remained overall stable, (up 4% 
comparable) supported by the United States at 4% 
(8% comparable). In Asia, Middle East and Africa 
orders improved by 5% (12% comparable) with strong 
growth in countries like India. This offset a slight drop 
in China of 7% (3% comparable) year-on-year, with 
steady sequential market development.  
• Revenues increased by 2% (7% comparable) to an all-
time-high level of $3,809 million with stable to 
positive developments in all divisions. Growth was 
primarily due to higher volumes, with additional 
support from positive price impacts. 
 
Profit 
Record-high Operational EBITA of $887 million and an 
all-time-high Operational EBITA margin of 23.2%, up by 
210 basis points year-on-year. 
• Operational leverage on higher volumes and impact 
from continuous improvement measures were the 
key drivers to the higher margin, year-on-year. 
Additional support was derived from a positive price 
impact.  
• Margins improved in virtually all divisions.

Orders and revenues 
Motion recorded yet another quarter with order intake 
at the $2 billion level, with book-to-bill at 1.03. A positive 
development in the short-cycle orders was noted, while 
orders in the divisions more linked to project- and 
systems-related demand declined from last year’s 
record-high levels, although showing a stable trend 
compared with recent quarters. In total, order intake 
declined by 6% (4% comparable). 
• Order momentum was the strongest in the rail and 
power generation segments, with a positive 
development also in HVAC driven by commercial 
buildings. Oil & gas declined from last year’s high level 
and some slowness was noted in metals and 
chemicals.  
• Orders in Asia, Middle East and Africa improved by 1% 
(5% comparable) supported by a strong development 
in for example India, while China softened slightly by 
4% (1% comparable). Europe declined by 5% (4% 
comparable) and the Americas dropped by 13% (14% 
comparable) primarily due to the lower large order 
bookings, compared with last year. 
• Revenues amounted to $1,951 million and declined by 
2% (1% comparable) as support from execution of the 
order backlog and a positive price impact was more 
than offset by lower volumes in the short-cycle areas 
as the order improvement did not yet convert to 
revenues. 
Profit  
Operational EBITA of $388 million declined by 3% and 
the Operational EBITA margin softened by 50 basis 
points to 19.9%, year-on-year. 
• Operational leverage on the lower production volumes 
in the short-cycle businesses more than offset 
improved profitability in divisions linked to the 
project- and systems offering. 
• Positive pricing impacts were more than offset by the 
adverse mix effects triggered by a lower share of 
revenues stemming from the short-cycle businesses, 
and higher expenses related to R&D and SG&A, year-
on-year.

Order intake of $1,802 million increased by 8% (10% 
comparable) from last year’s low comparable and 
remained on par with recent quarters. Market activity 
remained buoyant with a robust and intact project 
pipeline. Book-to-bill was positive at 1.05. 
• Quarterly order intake can be volatile in Process 
Automation, and in the second quarter orders were 
particularly strong in the segments of marine, ports, 
and chemicals, while customer activity was broadly 
stable in oil & gas, with a negative order development 
in the areas of pulp & paper, metals and mining.  
• Revenues improved by 11% (12% comparable) to 
$1,717 million, supported by a stable to positive 
development in most divisions as the order backlog 
was executed, including a slight positive price 
impact. Strong growth in the service business also

This was another +15% margin quarter with Process 
Automation at 15.5%, up 10 basis points year-on-year.  
Operational EBITA improved by 10% and reached the

• Earnings were supported by the higher revenues on 
execution of the order backlog with a higher gross 
margin. These benefits were partially offset by a slight 
increase in SG&A expenses, which however declined 
slightly as percentage of revenues and a somewhat 
negative mix.

Orders and revenues 
Order intake decreased by 19% (17% comparable) to 
$688 million on strongly diverging market environments 
between the two divisions. 
• The Robotics division recorded a slight positive order 
growth, supported by a positive development in the 
segments of general industry and warehouse logistics 
linked to consumer industries. This was however 
partially offset by the negative development in 
automotive and electronics. Orders increased strongly 
in the Americas and declined at a single-digit rate in 
Asia, Middle East and Africa and Europe. Inventory 
levels in the channels are seemingly aligned with the 
current market situation. 
• Machine Automation orders declined sharply due to 
order normalization after earlier pre-buys, but also 
due to a softer underlying market. The division, which 
comprises approximately 1/3 of the business area 
revenues, is primarily exposed to the European 
market where the machine builder segment is 
expected to remain under pressure for the remainder 
of this year. 
• Revenues of $833 million represented a decline of 10% 
(8% comparable) from last year, driven by lower 
volumes. Revenues declined in both divisions as the 
positive order development in Robotics did not yet 
convert to revenues, and due to the market slowdown 
in Machine Automation.  
 
Profit 
Operational leverage on lower volumes put pressure on 
the Operational EBITA which declined by 34% to 
$93 million and the Operational EBITA margin which 
dropped by 420 basis points year-on-year to 11.1%. 
• Lower production volumes triggered underabsorption 
of fixed costs in both divisions, and the largest 
margin decline was recorded in Machine Automation.  
• Divisional mix had a negative impact on profitability 
as Machine Automation represented a lower share of 
revenues, compared with last year.  
• In expectations of a challenging near-term market, 
Machine Automation has initiated cost actions to 
defend future profitability. Benefits from these 
measures are expected to start coming through 
towards the end of this year.

Events from the Quarter 
 
• ABB’s science-based targets have received approval 
from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), 
demonstrating that the company’s ambitions and 
methodology align with the latest climate science and 
the Paris Agreement. By 2030, ABB aims to reduce 
absolute scope 1 & 2 CO₂e emissions by 80% 
compared to 2019 and reduce absolute scope 3 
emissions by 25% from a 2022 baseline. Looking 
ahead to 2050, ABB strives for a 100% reduction in 
scope 1 & 2 CO₂e emissions compared to 2019 and a 
90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions from 
the 2022 baseline. 
 
• Red Eléctrica, the company responsible for Spain’s 
electricity system, has awarded ABB four contracts for 
synchronous condensers. ABB’s technology will help 
strengthen the electricity grid, improve supply quality, 
and support the energy transition in the Canary and 
Balearic Islands allowing further progress in the 
integration of renewable energies. The project aligns 
with Spain’s 2021–2030 Integrated National Energy 
and Climate Plan, aiming for reduced greenhouse gas 
emissions and increased renewable energy 
penetration. 
 
• ABB has introduced a groundbreaking feature to its 
Routing Services portfolio. The new solution 
optimizes both the vessel’s route and speed 
simultaneously, factoring in anticipated weather 
conditions. By using real-time data such as 
meteorological information, daily hire costs, fuel 
costs, and user-defined performance models, it 
recommends adjustments like slowing down to avoid 
rough weather or speeding up to stay ahead. This 
innovative approach minimizes fuel consumption, 
reduces emissions, and enhances overall efficiency 
during voyages. 
 
• During the quarter, ABB’s Installation Products division 
launched an innovative cable protection system, the 
PMA® EcoGuard™ PA6, crafted from discarded ocean 
fishing nets highlighting its focus on further improving 
the circularity of its products. By using 50% recycled 
polyamide primarily sourced from recovered fishing 
nets, ABB addresses marine pollution while reducing 
energy and water consumption during production. The 
EcoGuard PA6 allows for a 30% reduction of upstream 
Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of net 
freshwater use compared to conventional products. 
 
• ABB celebrated Pride Month in June. The month 
featured discussions on diverse topics such as coming 
out stories, supporting transitioning employees, 
ensuring safe travel, moving from bystander to 
upstander, enhancing recruitment inclusivity, and 
building psychological safety in leadership roles. These 
initiatives underscore ABB's dedication to creating a 
workplace where every voice is heard and valued.

• On June 10, ABB announced it had filed to voluntarily 
deregister and suspend SEC reporting obligations. 
The deregistration and termination of its reporting 
obligations is expected to become effective 90 days 
after the filing, unless withdrawn by the Company or 
objected to by the SEC. The Company will continue to 
comply with its financial reporting and other 
obligations pursuant to applicable stock exchange 
listing rules – in particular the Listing Rules of SIX 
Swiss Exchange and the Nasdaq Stockholm Rulebook. 
• On May 23, ABB announced the appointment of 
Giampiero Frisio as the new President of its 
Electrification Business Area and Brandon Spencer as 
the new President of its Motion Business Area. Both 
will take over their new roles and join ABB’s Executive 
Committee on August 1, 2024. 
• On April 1, ABB launched its previously announced 
new share buyback program of up to $1 billion. Based 
on the current ABB share price this represents a

In the first six months of 2024, the overall order intake 
declined slightly on a high comparable. Weakness was 
noted in the short-cycle businesses and primarily linked 
to the buildings segment and discrete automation. 
Market environment remained buoyant in the project-

Electrification business area, with declines most 
pronounced in Robotics and Discrete Automation. 
Orders amounted to $17,409 million and were down 4% 
versus the prior year (2% comparable), with growth 
adversely impacted by the timing of large orders 
booked which benefited the year-earlier period.   
Revenues were supported by execution of the large order 
backlog and amounted to $16,109 million, up by 1% (3% 
comparable), overall implying a book-to-bill of 1.08. 
Income from operations amounted to $2,593 million, up 
4% year-on-year. This increase can be attributed to an 
improved operational performance which more than 
offset the adverse impacts from higher expenses related 
to restructurings, gains and losses from sale of 
businesses and ABB Way transformation activities.  
Operational EBITA increased by 10% year-on-year to 
$2,981 million, and the Operational EBITA margin 
improved by 150 basis points to 18.4%. The increase 
was driven by improvements in the Electrification and 
Process Automation business areas, which more than 
offset declines elsewhere. The main drivers of the 
margin expansion were operating leverage on higher 
volumes as well as the impacts from implemented price 
increases while expenses related to SG&A remained 
broadly stable. Corporate and Other Operational EBITA 
amounted to -$185 million. This includes a loss of  
$141 million that can be attributed to the E-mobility 
business, which was negatively affected by the ongoing 
reorganization to ensure a more focused portfolio, and 
impairments mainly linked to inventories. 
Net finance contributed to results with $53 million, an 
improvement from last year’s expense of $46 million. 
The year-on-year improvement is due to a combination 
of a lower net debt position and favorable mix of 
interest rates between borrowings and cash deposits. 
Income tax expense was $654 million reflecting a tax 
rate of 24.5%, positively impacted by 270 basis points 
due to a reduction in certain tax risks.   
Net income attributable to ABB was $2,001 million, up 
from $1,942 million year-on-year. Basic earnings per 
share was $1.09, representing an increase of 4% 
compared with the prior year.

13 Q2 2024 FINANCIAL INFORMATION  
— 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited) 
 
 
─ 
Note 1 
The Company and basis of presentation 
ABB Ltd and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) together form a technology leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more 
sustainable and resource-efficient future. The Company’s solutions connect engineering know -how and software to optimize how things are 
manufactured, moved, powered, and operated. 
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Information is prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted a ccounting principles 
(U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting. As such, the Consolidated Financial Information does not include all the informa tion and notes required under 
U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. Therefore, such financial information should be read in conjunction w ith the audited 
consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December  31, 2023. 
The preparation of financial information in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make assumptions and estimates t hat 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 rece ivables, loans and 
other instruments, 
• estimates of loss contingencies associated with litigation or threatened litigation and other claims and inquiries, environme ntal 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 interest s and certain obligations in connection 
with divestments. 
The actual results and outcomes may differ from the Company’s estimates and assumptions.  
A portion of the Company’s activities (primarily long-term construction activities) has an operating cycle that exceeds one year. For classification of 
current assets and liabilities related to such activities, the Company elected to use the duration of the individual contract s as its operating cycle. 
Accordingly, there are accounts receivable, contract assets, inventories and provisions related to these contracts which will  not be realized within 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, nu mbers 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. 
 
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 imp acts on the trend of 
net income, cash flows or liquidity for previously issued annual financial statements.  
 
Change in accounting policy  
Effective January  1, 2024,  the Company changed the presentation of discontinued operations in its statement of cash flows to an alternate 
allowable policy. As a result, the total cash flows for operating, investing and financing activities from discontinued operations are no longer 
show n separately but instead all cash flows in discontinued operations are present ed within each line item  as appropriate in the statement of 
cash flow s. As this presentation c hange represents a chang e in accounting policy, all prior periods presented have been rec lassified to conform 
to the current period presentation  and there was no material impact for the six and three months ended June  30, 2023 .

Note 2 
Recent accounting pronouncements 
Applicable for current periods 
Improvements to reportable segment disclosures  
In January 2024, the Company adopted an accounting standard update which requires the Company to disclose additional reportable segment 
information primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and extending certain annual disclosure  requirements to a 
quarterly frequency. The update will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the Company’s 2024 annual consolidated financial statements 
and then commencing from the first quarter of 2025, in its interim consolidated financial information. Other than these additional disclosures, this 
update does not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements . 
Applicable for future periods 
Improvements to Income tax disclosures 
In December 2023, an accounting standard update was issued which requires the Company to disclose additional information rela ted 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. This update is effective for the Company prospectively, with retrospective adoption permitted, for annual periods beginning 
January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 
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 operatin g activities from entering 
into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. To manage such currency risks, the Company’s policies r equire its subsidiaries to 
hedge their foreign currency exposures from binding sales and purchase contracts denominated in foreign currencies. For forec asted foreign currency 
denominated sales of standard products and the related foreign currency denominated purchases, the Company’s policy is to hed ge up to a maximum 
of 100 percent of the forecasted foreign currency denominated exposures, depending on the length of the forecasted exposures. Foreca sted exposures 
greater than 12 months are not hedged. Forward foreign exchange contracts are the main instrument used to protect the Company against the vol atility 
of future cash flows (caused by changes in exchange rates) of contracted and forecasted sales and purchases denominated in fo reign currencies. In 
addition, within its treasury operations, the Company primarily uses foreign exchange swaps and forward foreign exchange cont racts 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 fu ture cash flows arising 
from changes in commodity prices. To manage the price risk of commodities, the Com pany’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 tim e, the 
Company uses instruments such as interest rate swaps, interest rate futures, bond futures or forward rate agreements to manag e 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 acco unting. 
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, 2024 December 31, 2023 June 30, 2023 
 Foreign exchange contracts 13,924 12,335 14,256 
 Embedded foreign exchange derivatives 1,131 1,137 1,374 
 Cross-currency interest rate swaps 857 886 868 
 Interest rate contracts 1,071 1,606 2,198 
 
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 bas is, 
to reflect the Company’s requirements for these commodities: 
 Type of derivative Unit Total notional amounts at 
   June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 June 30, 2023 
 Copper swaps metric tonnes 29,453 35,015 32,894 
 Silver swaps ounces 1,754,340 2,359,363 1,726,172 
 Steel swaps metric tonnes 16,738 10,206 11,158 
 Aluminum swaps metric tonnes 5,125 5,900 5,950 
 
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, th e effective portion of 
the changes in their fair value is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and subsequently reclassified into earnin gs 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, 2024 and 2023, 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 swap s 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.

Note 6 
Fair values 
The Company uses fair value measurement principles to record certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis an d, 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 i nclude 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 transactio n 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 liabilit ies 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 unobser vable. An observable input 
is based on market data obtained from independent sources, while an unobservable input reflects the Company’s assumptions abo ut 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 fr om 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 unobs ervable portion of 
the adjustment or the unobservable input to the valuation model is significant, in which case the fair value measurement woul d be classified as 
Level 3. Assets and liabilities valued or disclosed using Level 2 inputs include investments in certain funds, certain debt s ecurities 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 financi al 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.

20 Q2 2024 FINANCIAL INFORMATION  
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 a ppropriate 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, 2024 and 2023.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in estimating fair values of financial instruments carried on a cost b asis: 
• Cash and equivalents (excluding securities with original maturities up to 3  months), Restricted cash, 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 1,118 1,090 1,010 
 Contract liabilities 2,973 2,844 2,394 
 
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:

Commitments and contingencies 
Contingencies—Regulatory, Compliance and Legal 
Regulatory 
Based on findings during an internal investigation, the Company self -reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of 
Justice (DoJ), in the United States, to the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in South Africa as well as to 
various authorities in other countries potential suspect payments and other compliance concerns in connection with some of th e Company’s dealings 
with Eskom and related persons. Many of those parties have expressed an interest in, or commenced an investigation into, thes e matters and the 
Company is cooperating fully with them. The Company paid $104  million to Eskom in December 2020 as part of a full and final settlement with Eskom 
and the SIU relating to improper payments and other compliance issues associated with the Controls and Instrumentation Contra ct, and its Variation 
Orders for Units 1 and 2 at Kusile. The Company made a provision of approximately $325  million which was recorded in Other income (expense), net, 
during the third quarter of 2022. In December 2022, the Company settled with the SEC and D oJ as well as the authorities in South Africa and Switzerland. 
In March 2024, the Company settled its final pending matter with the authorities in Germany. The Company does not believe tha t it will need to record 
any additional provisions for this matter. 
General 
The Company is aware of proceedings, or the threat of proceedings, against it and others in respect of private claims by cust omers and other third 
parties with regard to certain actual or alleged anticompetitive practices. Also, the Company is subject to other claims and legal proceedings, as well as 
investigations carried out by various law enforcement authorities. With respect to the above -mentioned claims, regulatory matters, and any related 
proceedings, the Company will bear the related costs, including costs necessary to resolve them.  
Liabilities recognized 
At June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had aggregate liabilities of $80 million and $101 million, respectively, included in Other provisions 
and Other non‑current liabilities, for the above regulatory, compliance and legal contingencies, and none of the individual liabilities rec ognized was 
significant. As it is not possible to make an informed judgment on, or reasonably predict, the outcome of certain matters and  as it is not possible, based 
on information currently available to management, to estimate the maximum potential liability on other matters, there could b e adverse outcomes 
beyond the amounts accrued. 
Guarantees  
General 
The following table provides quantitative data regarding the Company’s third -party guarantees. The maximum potential payments represent a 
“worst-case scenario”, and do not reflect management’s expected outcomes.  
 Maximum potential payments ($ in millions) June 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 
 Performance guarantees 3,342 3,451 
 Financial guarantees 22 94 
 Total(1) 3,364 3,545 
(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, 2024, and 
December 31, 2023, were not significant. 
The Company is party to various guarantees providing financial or performance assurances to certain third parties. These guar antees, which have 
various maturities up to 2034, 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 pro ject 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, the Company has entered into various performance 
guarantees with other parties with respect to certain liabilities of the divested business. At  June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the maximum 
potential payable under these guarantees amounts to $840 million and $874 million, respectively, and these guarantees have various original maturities 
ranging from five to ten years. 
The Company retained obligations for financial and performance guarantees related to its former Power Grids business (reporte d as discontinued 
operations prior to its sale to Hitachi Ltd in 2020), which at both June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, have been fully indemnified by Hitachi Ltd. These 
guarantees, having various maturities up to 203 4, 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 paya ble under 
these guarantees at June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, is approximately $2.1 billion and $2.2 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 per formance bonds in the 
event that the Company does not fulfill its contractual obligations. The Company would then have an obligation to reimburse t he financial institution for 
amounts paid under the performance bonds. At June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the total outstanding performance bonds aggregated to  
$3.3 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively. There have been no significant amounts reimbursed to financial institutions under these types of arran gements 
in the six and three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Income taxes 
In calculating income tax expense, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon the facts and cir cumstances 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 24.5 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2024, was higher than the effective tax rate of 19.0 percent in the six months 
ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a net benefit of $206 million realized on a favorable resolution of an uncertain tax position in the six months ended 
June 30, 2023, partially offset by 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. The former resulted in an increase of $0.11 in earnings per share (basic and diluted) for the six months 
ended June 30, 2023, while the latter resulted in an increase of $0.04 in earnings per share (basic and diluted) for the six and three months ended 
June 30, 2024.

on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Through this program, the Company purchased a total of 21 million shares for approximately $0.8 billion, of which 4 million 
shares were purchased in the first quarter of 2024 (resulting in an increase in Treasury stock of $187 million). 
Also in March 2024, the Company announced a new share buyback program of up to $ 1 billion. This program, which was launched in April 2024, is being 
executed on a second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange and is planned to run until January 2025. Through this program, the Company purchased,

the E-mobility operating segment, 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 inc ome 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. 
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 t he 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. 
The following tables present disaggregated segment revenues from contracts with customers, Operational EBITA, and the reconciliations of 
consolidated Operational EBITA to Income from continuing operations before taxes for the six and three months ended June  30, 2024 and 2023, as well

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, 2024.  
 
Comparable growth rates  
Growth rates for certain key figures may be presented and discussed on a “comparable” basis. The comparable growth rate measu res growth on a 
constant currency basis. Since we are a global company, the comparability of our operating results reported in U.S. dollars i s 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 calculat ed as follows: where the 
results of any business acquired or divested have not been consolidated and reported for the entire duration of both the curr ent and comparable 
periods, the reported key figures of such business are adjusted to exclude the relevant key figures of any corresponding quar ters 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 cust omer 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 ad just 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 g rowth rate.

36 Q2 2024 FINANCIAL INFORMATION  
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 Compan y 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.
