“Q4 was a strong finish to a record year for ABB. We lead in markets with strong secular
trends and we will further build on our ABB Way operating model, which gives me confidence
in our updated financial targets and that 2026 will be yet another all-time-high result.”

PRESS RELEASE
===== SIDA 2 =====
AB B IN TE RIM RE P ORT I Q4 2 02 5 2
We ended the year on a high note and delivered the
strongest annual performance yet for ABB. The fourth
quarter was a landmark quarter as we for the first time
exceeded the $10 billion order level, at $10.3 billion. In
addition to a strong development in the base business,
orders were positively impacted by timing of large project
bookings. Overall, it was reassuring that the strong order
development was broad-based with double-digit growth
across all three business areas. So, while we delivered the
highest quarterly revenues on record, orders were even
higher, resulting in a book-to-bill of 1.14.
In my view, we perform well in overall favorable market
conditions. In addition to leveraging on strong comparable
growth, we generate internal efficiency gains which
successfully mitigate for example tariff and rising material
inflation. We grew operational EBITA by 19% and expanded
margins by 100 basis points.
I was pleased with the strong free cash flow of $1.5 billion in
the quarter. This led to us achieving our ambition to
improve annual free cash flow, which reached the record
level of $4.6 billion. It was also good to see our strong
return on capital employed at 25.3%.
In the Electrification business area, demand increased in all
customer segments, led by data centers which recorded a
very strong double-digit growth. Our medium voltage
power technology is at the forefront of the industry. One
example of how it puts us in a front-row position for future
data center architecture is the extended partnership with
Applied Digital where we introduce innovative power
designs for large-scale AI-ready data centers. Another
future potential demand driver is our cutting-edge direct
current (DC) and solid-state electronics technology. This
sits at the heart of our collaboration with NVIDIA where ABB
will support their 800 VDC architecture to accelerate the
development of gigawatt scale next-generation data
centers.
In the Motion business area, the strong order growth was
supported by continued high demand for rail projects, as
well as in the recently formed High Power division, along
with positive developments in the short-cycle demand for
both low voltage motors and drives. In the Automation
business area, we saw persistently strong activity related to
marine and ports, and the large Rotterdam port order is yet
another proof point of the unique customer value we
generate when combining know-how from across our three
business areas. Our solution will feature combined shore
power systems expected to be the world’s largest to date,
able to charge up to 32 container ships simultaneously
during loading and unloading operations. We also provide a
SCADA system to monitor and control the shore power
system while tracking energy usage for precise customer
billing.
We have also updated our financial targets, aiming for
strong growth, a higher profitability range and strong EPS
expansion with a good cash conversion. We raised our
ROCE ambition even as we pursue a higher pace of acquired
growth. In my view, these new targets are both ambitious
and realistic.
To achieve these updated long-term targets, we will further
enhance our operational accountability and speed as we
continue to build on the ABB Way operating model. Couple
this with overall strong external markets where we will
capitalize on our position within global trends of energy
expansion, the need for energy efficiency and the transition
to cleaner energy sources. I am confident in our market
position, our leading technology and our ability to help
customers become more productive and energy efficient. I
expect these factors to support our operational
performance in 2026 and long-term.
Based on our strong performance, the Board of Directors
has decided to propose an ordinary dividend of CHF0.94
per share, up from CHF0.90 in the previous year. We also
intend to launch a new share buyback program of up to $2.0
billion, running until January 27, 2027.
Morten Wierod
CEO
In the first quarter of 2026, we anticipate comparable
revenue growth in the 7% - 10% range. The operational
EBITA margin should increase year-on-year, excluding
the announced real estate gains in the first quarters of
2025 and 2026.
In full-year 2026, we expect a positive book-to-bill, and
comparable revenue growth in the range of 6% - 9%
year-on-year. The operational EBITA margin should
slightly improve year-on-year, even when excluding the
announced real estate gain in the first quarter of 2026.
CEO summary
Outlook
===== SIDA 3 =====
AB B IN TE RIM RE P ORT I Q4 2 02 5 3
Order intake was record-high at $10,316 million, up by 36%
(32% comparable). The very strong comparable growth
benefited from persistently strong overall market dynamics
with the added support from the timing of large project
orders. Total growth was additionally supported by
changes in foreign exchange rates. All three business areas
increased at a comparable double-digit rate, led by
exceptional growth of 49% (41% comparable) in
Automation and 36% (33% comparable) in Electrification
where the timing of several stand-out large orders
combined supported order intake by about $600 million in
each of the two business areas. In addition to the strong
development in the project business, the short-cycle and
services businesses both improved at a double-digit rate.
The order backlog reached $25,282 million, up by 27% (18%
comparable), year-on-year.
Orders in the Americas were up by 44% (43%
comparable), up 36% (25% comparable) in Europe and
up 24% (23% comparable) in Asia, Middle East and
Africa.
Orders increased sharply on continued favourable demand
related to the marine, ports and rail segments. Land-based
infrastructure demand benefited from upgrades of
electrical equipment for such as airports, tunnels etc.
In the industrial space, the utilities segment remains
strong. A buoyant data center market supported segment
orders to increase at a strong double-digit rate, supported
by timing of project orders.
The buildings segment improved, with a stable to positive
development in Europe and the United States more than
offsetting the general weakness in China.
Orders in the machine builder segment increased sharply
from a low comparable, but the absolute level remains
subdued in a continued challenging market.
The oil & gas segment remains generally solid, although
orders declined in the quarter. There was increased activity
among nuclear customers. Mining orders increased in a
generally capex-muted market environment.
Quarterly revenues were record-high at $9,052 million and
increased by 13%, supported by a strong 9% comparable
growth as well as 4% from changes in exchange rates.
Comparable growth was primarily due to higher volumes,
driven by higher short-cycle and service demand as well as
execution of the high order backlog. Additional contribution
derived from positive pricing at a low single-digit rate. All
three business areas recorded strong revenue growth, with
support from virtually all divisions. Revenues increased in all
regions, led by Europe at 21% (11% comparable) and the
Americas at 11% (10% comparable), with Asia, Middle East
and Africa improving by 8% (7% comparable) as a stable
comparable trend in China was more than offset by
strength in other parts of the region. Quarterly revenues
were the highest on record, but orders were even higher,
resulting in a book-to-bill of 1.14.

Gross profit
Gross profit increased by 23% (17% constant currency) year-
on-year to $3,658 million, reflecting a gross margin of 40.4%,
up 310 basis points. Gross margin improved in all business
areas.
Income from operations
Income from operations amounted to $1,505 million and
increased by 38% year-on-year. The increase was mainly driven
by the positive impacts from improved operational business
performance and Foreign exchange timing differences, while
the prior year was also negatively impacted by fair value
adjustments of equity investments. The Income from
operations margin was 16.6% and improved by 290 basis
points.
Operational EBITA
Operational EBITA increased by 19% year-on-year to $1,588
million, reflecting a 100 basis points margin improvement to
17.6%. Higher profitability was primarily due to operational
leverage on higher volumes. The impacts from positive pricing
and improved operational efficiency more than offset the
increase in expenses related to commodities and tariffs,
Research and Development (R&D), Selling, general &
administrative (SG&A) as well as Corporate expenses. SG&A
decreased slightly in relation to revenues to 19.5% from last
year’s 19.6%. Operational EBITA in Corporate and other
amounted to -$197 million compared with last year’s
-$160 million. This is the total of Underlying corporate costs of
$164 million which includes Stranded costs of $30 million, and a
loss of $33 million in the E-mobility business.
Finance net
Net finance income contributed to results with a positive
$48 million, representing a lower income compared with last
year’s $56 million.
Income tax
Income tax expense was $292 million and the effective tax rate
was 18.6%, in line with the historical pattern of a low tax rate
in the fourth quarter.
Net income and earnings per share
Net income attributable to ABB was $1,273 million,
representing an increase of 29% year-on-year, driven by the
impact from improved business performance more than
compensating for a slightly lower contribution from net
finance and lower net income in discontinued operations.
Basic earnings per share increased by 30% to $0.70, up from
$0.54 in the previous year period.

Trade net working capital1
Trade net working capital amounted to $4,059 million, up
slightly year-on-year from $3,967 million. The increase was
primarily driven by impacts from changes in foreign
exchange rates which more than offset the reduction of
inventories and higher trade payables, in local currencies.
The average trade net working capital as a percentage of
revenues1 was 13.0%, a reduction from 14.3% one year
ago.
Capital expenditures
Purchases of property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets for continuing operations during the
fourth quarter amounted to $409 million, higher than last
year’s $271 million. For ABB Group, the total cash outflow
on a combined basis amounted to $451 million, higher
than last year’s $283 million.
Net debt
Net debt1 amounted to $1,683 million at the end of the
quarter and increased from $1,280 million, with the year-
on-year increase mainly due to impacts of changes in
exchange rates. The sequential decrease from $2,690
million in the third quarter was mainly due to the strong
cash generation in operations which more than offset the
adverse impact from higher spend on acquisitions.
Cash flows
Cash flow from operating activities during the fourth
quarter was $1,949 million, an increase of 27% from last
year’s $1,537 million. Contribution to the strong cash flow
derived from stronger earnings as well as a reduction in Net
working capital, mainly linked to contribution from
inventories and trade payables and timing of accrued
expenses. Free cash flow amounted to $1,517 million, and
improved from last year’s $1,295 million, despite the higher
capex spend.
Share buyback program
A share buyback program of up to $1.5 billion was launched
on February 10, 2025. During the fourth quarter, ABB
repurchased a total of 3,099,590 shares for a total amount
of approximately $224 million. At the end of the fourth
quarter, ABB’s total number of issued shares, including
shares held in treasury, amounts to 1,843,899,204.

Orders and revenues
For the first time, quarterly order intake exceeded the
$5 billion mark. This was achieved through a strong
performance in a buoyant market environment, with
additional benefit from timing of large project bookings.
In total, orders increased by 36% (33% comparable) to
$5,323 million.
• Several large data center project orders, each exceeding
the $100 million mark, boosted orders by approximately
$600 million combined.
• Double-digit order growth across the project, service
and short-cycle businesses. Strong orders outpaced
record-high revenues, resulting in a book-to-bill of 1.13,
increasing the order backlog by 26% (21% comparable)
to $9.4 billion.
• All customer segments improved, led by exceptional
growth in data centers. The increase in buildings was
driven by the commercial segment where the US
improved, Europe remained stable and China declined.
Other areas of strength were utilities and land
transport infrastructure such as airports, rail, tunnels.
• The Americas increased by 55% (55% comparable) with
particular support from the timing of large orders in the
United States. Europe was up by 17% (7% comparable).
Asia, Middle East and Africa improved by 22% (19%
comparable) with improvements in countries like India
and Australia more than offsetting weakness in China.
• Revenues exceeded expectations and increased 16%
(12% comparable) with a positive development in all
divisions. Strong comparable revenues were primarily
driven by higher volumes across short-cycle, service,
and project businesses. Total growth was further
supported by favorable changes in exchange rates of
3%, with a slight added contribution from portfolio
changes.
Profit
Operational EBITA reached $1,062 million and increased
sharply by 23%, representing a 130 basis points expansion
in margin, year-on-year.
• Profit increased primarily due to operational leverage
on higher volumes and improved productivity in
operations. These combined benefits more than offset
higher spend on raw materials – mainly linked to rising
copper and silver prices as well as tariffs, SG&A and
higher investments in R&D.

Orders and revenues
Order intake totaled $2,189 million, up 17% (13%
comparable) year-on-year, sustaining the high order levels
achieved in recent quarters. Comparable growth was broad-
based across all divisions and regions, with additional
growth contribution from favourable changes in exchange
rates.
• The rail segment showed persistently strong customer
activity with increased orders. HVAC linked to commercial
buildings also improved. Power generation made strong
progress, supported by grid modernization and
distributed energy systems. Food & beverage, marine and
mining showed positive development. Chemicals
contributed positively in the quarter, in an otherwise
muted market environment. Oil & gas and pulp & paper
weighed on order intake.
• The Americas was up 26% (25% comparable), with
strong improvement of 30% (29% comparable) in the
United States. Europe increased 16% (6% comparable)
and Asia, Middle East and Africa was up by 9% (9%
comparable), with China at 16% (14% comparable).
• All-time-high revenues totaled $2,260 million, up by 11%
(6% comparable). The main driver to comparable growth
was higher volumes, further supported by positive
pricing. Additional contribution derived from changes in
exchange rates as well as from portfolio changes,
including the acquisition of Gamesa Electric in Spain,
completed in early December.
Profit
Operational EBITA improved by 8% to $412 million, however
the margin of 18.3% softened by 40 basis points year-on-
year, with broadly similar impacts from:
• Lower profitability in the recently formed High Power
division where some operational inefficiencies hampered
margin.
• The acquired business Gamesa Electric is currently
making a slight loss and diluted the Motion Operational
EBITA margin by approximately 20 basis points, with one
month included in results. It is expected to be dilutive for
the full year 2026.

Orders and revenues
Strong comparable order growth was driven by an overall
robust market environment outside of the discrete
segment, with the added contribution from timing of
project orders. Total growth was further supported by
favorable changes in exchange rates and increased by
49% (41% comparable) to the new record order level of
$2,817 million.
• Several large project orders linked to the marine and
ports segment, each valued at the $100+ million mark,
boosted orders by close to $600 million combined. On a
strong book-to-bill of 1.26, the order backlog reached
$10.1 billion, up by 33% (23% comparable).
• Persistently high customer activity was linked to marine
and port automation and electrification. Orders from
machine builders also increased sharply from a very low
comparable, albeit the absolute level remains subdued.
Customer activity in the oil & gas segment is solid,
although quarterly orders declined. Mining orders
increased in an otherwise capex muted market
environment. Activity among nuclear customers
increased.
• The strong revenue growth of 14% was generated by a
positive year-on-year development across divisions.
Comparable growth of 9% was mainly due to higher
volumes with added support from changes in exchanges
rates, as well as a favorable price impact. The volume
increase derived from execution of the strong order
backlog and a positive development in both the service
and the short-cycle product businesses.
As earlier announced, this was the first quarter the
financial results of the Machine Automation division were
presented as part of the Automation business area.
Profit
Strong gross margin improvement with added support from
stringent SG&A cost management drove Operational EBITA
margin up by 150 basis points to 13.9%. This represents an
earnings increase of 27% to $311 million.
• Key levers to the gross margin increase of 140 basis points
were operational benefits from higher volumes with some
positive pricing, as well as productivity enhancements.

decarbonization and digital transformation. Acting as
a central intelligence hub, it unifies data from building
systems to improve performance, reduce energy use,
and enhance occupant experience.
• With a strategic investment in OctaiPipe, a UK-based
innovator in AI-driven software for optimizing data
center cooling systems, ABB will partner to equip data
center operators with intelligent tools to achieve
substantial energy savings, strengthen operational
resilience, and meet the growing demands for
sustainability and transparency. The transaction
consists of ABB taking a minority stake in OctaiPipe
and will bring a major advancement: an on-premises
AI solution that enables up to 30 percent energy
savings in cooling, with very short payback periods
and rapid deployment - without the need for new
hardware.
• The Canadian Space Agency awarded ABB a contract to
carry out the conceptual development for a component of
the High-altitude Aerosols, Water Vapour and Clouds
(HAWC) satellite mission – a Canadian-led initiative
focused on advancing climate science and environmental
monitoring. In addition, ABB will support further
technology development activities to be defined over the
course of the project. Through its role, ABB helps to
refine global climate monitoring capabilities. The HAWC
mission aims to deliver essential data to enhance
forecasting of severe and extreme weather events,
improve climate modeling, support air quality
assessments, and aid in tracking natural disasters such
as wildfires, volcanic eruptions and intense rainfall.
• ABB celebrated Abilities, which highlights both visible and
invisible disabilities and promotes practical inclusion
through webinars, workshops, and panel discussions.
From its award-winning Rehab on Wheels initiative –
India’s first mobile rehabilitation unit developed with the
Association of People with Disability – to “Senti come mi
sento” (“Feel How I Feel”) in Italy, activities focus on
breaking down barriers to access and understanding. By
bringing rehabilitation to underserved communities and
immersing teams in the lived experience of multiple
sclerosis, the programs foster empathy, awareness, and a
more inclusive culture grounded in real human
experience.

During Q4 2025
• On October 8, 2025, ABB announced it had signed an
agreement to divest its Robotics division to SoftBank
Group for an enterprise value of $5.375 billion, and
therefore was not pursuing its earlier intention to
spin-off the business as a separately listed company.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals
and further customary closing conditions and is
expected to close in mid-to-late 2026.
• On October 8, 2025, ABB announced that Sami Atiya,
President Robotics & Discrete Automation business
area and Member of the Executive Committee, will
step down from the Executive Committee at the end
of 2025 and leave ABB by the end of 2026 in line with
the announced divestment of the Robotics division.
• On October 16, 2025, ABB announced that CFO, Timo
Ihamuotila, will step down from the Executive
Committee effective February 1, 2026, and leave ABB
at the end of 2026. Timo will be succeeded by the
internal candidate Christian Nilsson who joined ABB
in 2017 as CFO of the Electrification business area.
• On November 19, 2025 ABB announced updated
financial targets at the Capital Markets Day. This
included upgrading Operational EBITA margin target
to 18-22 percent with newly introduced targets per
business area; ROCE target raised to >20 percent.
Organic and acquired revenue growth targets
confirmed; Earnings Per Share target confirmed and
free cash flow conversion to net income target
updated to >95 percent to reflect expected strong
growth.
After Q4 2025
• On January 28, 2026, ABB announced that it has
completed the sale of a commercial property in
Zurich, Switzerland. Consequently, a pre-tax
operational gain of ~CHF290 million will be recorded
in the first quarter of 2026.
2025 was a new record year for ABB, with strong orders,
increases across most lines of the income statement
and all-time-high cash delivery.
Order intake increased 17% (15% comparable) year-on-
year to $36,765 million, supported by all three business
areas. There was a positive development across most
customer segments, led by particular strength in data
centers, marine, ports, utilities and land-based
infrastructure such as tunnels and airports, which
benefited from electrical upgrades. On the muted side,
there were the process industry-related areas such as
pulp & paper, chemicals and mining.
Revenues improved by 9% (7% comparable) to $33,220
million supported by a positive development across the
project, service and short-cycle businesses. Revenues
were at an all-time-high, but orders were even higher,
resulting in a book-to-bill 1.11. The order backlog
amounted to $25.3 billion, up by 27% (18% comparable),
year-on-year.
Income from operations amounted to $6,047 million,
significantly up 28% year-on-year, resulting in a margin
of 18.2%. The increase was mainly driven by the positive
impacts from improved operational business
performance, with further support from foreign
exchange timing differences, while the prior year was
also negatively impacted by fair value adjustments of
assets and liabilities held for sale and equity
investments.
Operational EBITA increased by 13% to $6,314 million.
The higher result was due to the improved business
performance more than offsetting higher expenses
linked to Corporate & other. Moreover, an operational
net gain of approximately $140 million relating to a real
estate sale in Corporate and Other had a positive
impact.
The Operational EBITA margin improved by 80 basis
points to 19.0% with the main drivers being operating
leverage on higher volumes, positive pricing and
improved operational efficiency. Corporate and other
Operational EBITA amounted to -$499 million. This
includes a loss of $148 million attributed to the
E-mobility business and Stranded costs of $123 million
linked to the ongoing divestment of the Robotics
business.
Net finance contributed to results with $117 million,
below last year’s income of $132 million. Income tax
expense was $1,570 million reflecting a tax rate of
25.2%.
Net income attributable to ABB was $4,734 million, up
from $3,935 million in the prior year period. Basic
earnings per share was $2.59, representing an increase
of 21%.

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 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 a ccounting 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 w ith 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 t hat directly affect the
amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Information. These accounting assumptions and estimates incl ude:
• estimates to determine valuation allowances for deferred tax assets and amounts recorded for unrecognized tax benefits,
• assumptions used in the determination of corporate costs directly attributable to discontinued operations,
• 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, and
• estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair values of assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations .
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 contr acts as its operating cycle.
Accordingly, there are contract assets and liabilities, accounts receivable, inventories and provision s 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 adjustm ents 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 provid ed.
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.
Discontinued operations
In October 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to divest its Robotics division to SoftBank Group Corp. The divestment is expected to be
completed in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. As this divestment represents a strategic shift
that will have a major effect on the operations and financial results of the Company, the results of operations for this busi ness have been presented as
discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 3 f or details). Financial information and disclosures for prior periods have been retroactively
recast to give effect to the discontinued operations presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts and disclosures in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements relate to the continuing operations of the Company.
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, representing the impact of the policy
change on Inventories and the related deferred tax balance. The effect on Net income for 2024 was not considered significant and therefore no changes
have been recorded.

reclassified into Provisions ($651 million), Other non-current liabilities ($551 million) and in Assets held for sale and in discontinued operations, current
($35 million) and non-current ($11 million). See Note 11 - Commitments and contingencies for additional information.
In addition, in 2025, the Company reorganized its operating segments and reclassified the prior period to conform to the curr ent year’s presentation.

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 update will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the Company’s 2025 annual consolidated
financial statements. Apart from the additional disclosure requirements, this update does not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
Measurement of credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets
In July 2025, an accounting standard update was issued which provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expe cted credit losses on
current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from revenues generated from contracts with customers . The Company early adopted this
accounting standard update in October 2025. 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 ea ch relevant income statement
expense caption (such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses). This update is effective for the Compa ny 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.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal -Use Software
In September 2025, an accounting standard update was issued related to accounting for internal -use software costs. This update modernizes the
guidance for accounting for software costs , aligning the accounting model with how software is developed today , by removing all references to project
stages and clarifying the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. This update is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods
beginning January 1, 2028, and may be applied (i) prospectively, (ii) retrospectively, or (iii) utilizing a modified transition approach . Early adoption is
permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on its consolidated
financial statements.

Discontinued operations
In October 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to divest its Robotics division to SoftBank Group Corp., valuing the b usiness at approximately
$5.4 billion. The business also includes certain investments and real estate properties which were previously reported within Corp orate and Other. The
divestment is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions , as well as the
completion of certain legal entity reorganizations expected to be finalized before the sale.
As this planned divestment represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financi al results, the results of
operations for this business have been presented as discontinued operations and the assets and liabiliti es, along with the related investments and real
estate assets previously included in Corporate and Other, are reflected as held-for-sale for all periods presented.
In addition, amounts relating to stranded corporate costs have been separately disclosed as a component of Corporate and Othe r (see Note 17).
Stranded costs represent allocated overhead and other management costs which were previously included in the measure of segment profit
(Operational EBITA) for the Robotics division within the former Robotics & Discrete Automation operating segment but are not directly attributable to
the discontinued operation and thus do not qualify to be recorded as part of income from discontinued operations.
Operating results of the discontinued operations are summarized as follows:
Year ended Three months ended
($ in millions) Dec. 31, 2025 Dec. 31, 2024 Dec. 31, 2025 Dec. 31, 2024
Total revenues 2,331 2,267 581 594

Income tax expense (83) (78) (17) (19)
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax 174 226 6 47
Of the total Income from discontinued operations before taxes in the table above, $ 173 million and $226 million in the year ended December 31, 2025 and
2024, respectively, and $6 million and $47 million in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are attributable to the Company,
while the remainder is attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Income from discontinued operations before taxes excluded stranded costs which were previously allocated to the Robotics divi sion. As a result, in the
year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, $123 million and $123 million, respectively, and for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
$30 million and $31 million, respectively, of allocated overhead and other management costs which were previously included in the measure of segm ent
profit for the Robotics division are now reported as part of Corporate and Other. In the table above, Net interest and other finance expense in the year
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, includes $29 million and $30 million, respectively, and in the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
includes $7 million and $6 million, respectively, of interest expense which has been recorded on an allocated basis in accordance with the Company’s
accounting policy. In addition, as required by U.S. GAAP, subsequent to October 5, 2025, (the date of approval by the Board of Directors authorizing the
sale of the Robotics division) the Company has not recorded depreciation or amortization on the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
reported as discontinued operations.
The Company also has retained obligations (primarily for environmental and taxes) related to other businesses disposed or otherwise exited tha t
qualified as discontinued operations. Changes to these retained obligations are also included in Income from discontinued ope rations, net of tax.

On December 1, 2025, the Company acquired, through numerous share and asset purchases , all of the assets, liabilities and business activities of the
power electronics business of Gamesa Electric in Spain. Gamesa’s power electronics business focuses on electrical products fo r power conversion,
including Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind converters, industrial battery energy storage system s (BESS) and utility-scale solar power
inverters. The cash outflows to complete the transaction amounted to $ 81 million (net of cash acquired). This acquisition will expand the existing power
conversion product and service offering within the Company’s Motion segment.
On October 1, 2024, the Company acquired all the shares of the Födisch Group. The Födisch Group is a worldwide provider of advanced meas urement
and analytical solutions for the energy and industrial sectors. The cash outflows to complete the transaction amounted to $ 287 million (net of cash
acquired). This acquisition enhances the Automation segment offering in continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) and bol sters its
competitiveness in technology and innovation in this segment.
While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to value assets ac quired 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.

Business divestments
In November 2024, the Company together with the Niedax Group formed Abnex Inc. (Abnex), a new joint venture company where each party has joint
control. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company contributed its North American cable tray business to Abnex in return for a 5 0 percent
ownership interest in the new joint venture. The transaction was recorded as a sale of its North American cable tray business, for which the Company
recorded a gain of $72 million, in Other income (expense), net, with a separate acquisition at fair value of the 50 percent investment in Abnex, amounting
to $124 million and accounted for using the equity method . The results of operations of the North American cable tray business are included in the
continuing operations of the Electrification operating segment for all periods presented through to the date of transfer.
In September 2024, the Company and the noncontrolling shareholders of InCharge Energy Inc. (In-Charge), a subsidiary entirely within its E-mobility
Division, came to a definitive agreement to terminate their respective put and call options by settling the contracts on a net basis. T his agreement,
completed in November 2024, resulted in the Company returning a portion of its shares to In -Charge, thereby reducing its direct ownership to
approximately 46 percent and thus losing control. This transaction was treated similar to a business divestment and with a separate re -acquisition at
fair value of the 46 percent investment (amounting to $69 million) accounted for using the equity method. The Company recorded a loss of $88 million,
representing the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of this business , in Other income (expense), net, in connection with the loss of
control. The fair value adjustment on this business was determined using Level 3 inputs and based on a discounted cash flow model considering the
expected future results of this business. The loss is based on the net assets of the business at the time of the deemed sale.
Investments in equity-accounted companies
In connection with the establishment of the Joint Venture with the Niedax Group in November 2024, the Company obtained a 50 percent interest in
Abnex, the resulting new joint venture entity. For accounting purposes, the acquisition of the 50 percent interest had a fair value at the transaction date
of $124 million. The fair value was based on a discounted cash flow model considering the expected results of the future business ope rations of Abnex
and using relevant market inputs including a risk-adjusted weighted-average cost of capital. As Abnex is jointly owned and controlled by ABB and the
Niedax Group, the investment is accounted for using the equity method.
In November 2024, the reduction in the Company’s share ownership and simultaneous loss of control of In -Charge resulted in, for accounting purposes, a
separate acquisition of a 46 percent interest in this company. The fair value of this investment at the t ransaction date amounted to $69 million and is
accounted for using the equity method.

Note 6
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 operates programs to hedge the
foreign currency exposures from forecasted cash flows, committed orders and project -related exposures. 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 pr imarily 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 f uture cash flows arising
from changes in commodity prices. To manage the price risk of commodities, the Company operates programs t o hedge the forecasted commodity
exposure and project-related exposures. 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 mana ge 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 busines s, certain derivatives are
designated and qualify for hedge accounting treatment while others either are not designated or do not q ualify 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) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024

Embedded foreign exchange derivatives 1,640 1,153
Cross-currency interest rate swaps 940 833
Interest rate contracts 1,644 1,510
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:

20 Q4 2025 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Cash flow hedges
As noted above, the Company mainly uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk of its operati ons 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 subsequen tly reclassified into earnings in the same line item
and in the same period as the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. For the year and three months ended December 31, 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 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 losse s in Interest and other finance expense.
The effect of derivative instruments, designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, on the Consolidated Income Statements w as as follows:
Year ended December 31, Three months ended December 31,

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 econo mic hedges used for risk
management purposes. Gains and losses from changes in the fair values of such derivatives are recognized i n 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 deriva tives that are embedded
within certain binding sales or purchase contracts denominated in a currency other than the functional curr ency of the subsidiary and the counterparty.

Note 7
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 inc luding 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 unobser vable. 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 measuremen t 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 woul d be classified as
Level 3. Assets and liabilities valued or disclose d 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 which require significant judgement or estimation (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 ch anges 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.

23 Q4 2025 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 fo r similar
instruments or valuation techniques represent a Level 2 input unless significant unobservable inputs are used.
Non-recurring fair value measures
In the year and three months ended December 31, 2025, there were no significant non‑recurring fair value measurements. In the year and three months
ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $88 million and $73 million, respectively, in fair value adjustments of equity investments. This
primarily related to an impairment recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2024, of the Company’s investment in Northvolt AB. In the year
ended December 31, 2024, the Company also recognized $113 million of fair value adjustments on assets and liabilities held for sale, primarily related to
the fair value adjustment of In-Charge for $88 million (see Note 4). There were no other significant non-recurring fair value measurements during the
year and three months ended December 31, 2024.

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) 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 ad justments for non-performance risk
(Level 2 inputs).

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
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 tech nical experts.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had aggregate liabilities of $ 25 million and $72 million, respectively, included in Provisions and Other
non‑current liabilities, for the regulatory, compliance and legal contingencies, and none of the individual liabilities recognize d was significant. As it is not
possible to make an informed judgment on, or reasonably predict, the outcom e 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 outco mes 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) December 31, 2025 December 31, 2024
Performance guarantees 1,926 2,299
Financial guarantees 18 22
Total(1) 1,944 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 amo unts of liabilities at December 31, 2025 and 2024,
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 2032, 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, the maximum
potential payable under these guarantees amounts to $681 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 (reporte d as discontinued
operations prior to its sale to Hitachi Ltd in 2020), which at both December 31, 2025 and 2024, have been fully indemnified by Hitachi Ltd. These
guarantees, having various maturities up to 2032, 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 December 31, 2025 and 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. Customer s 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 t he financial institution for
amounts paid under the performance bonds. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the total outstanding performance bonds aggregated to $3.6 billion and
$3.2 billion, respectively, of which $0.1 billion and $0.1 billion, respectively, relate to discontinued operations. There have been no significant amounts
reimbursed to financial institutions under these types of arrangements in the year and three months ended December 31, 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 cert ain contracts. The
reconciliation of the Provisions for warranties, including guarantees of product performance, was as follows:

Note 12
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 25.2 percent in the year ended December 31, 2025, was higher than the effective tax rate of 24.3 percent in the year ended
December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2024. This resulted in an increase of $0.04 in earnings per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended
December 31, 2024.

Employee benefits
The Company operates defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plans, and termination indemnity plans, in a ccordance with local
regulations and practices. At December 31, 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 employ ee benefit plans is
December 31. The funding policies of the Company’s plans are consistent with the local government and tax requi rements.
In August 2025, the Trustees of the U.K. pension plan entered into two buy -in agreements with a third-party insurance company. The buy-in
arrangements are insurance contracts providing substantially all future benefit plan payments to the U.K. pension plan partic ipants. However, the
primary benefit obligation remains with the Company. As part of the buy -in agreements, U.K. pension plan assets were transferred to the insurer in
exchange for the insurance contracts at the effective dates of the buy -in agreements. The insurance contracts remain assets of the U.K. pension plan
and are considered Level 3 investments. No cash contribution was required to be made by the Company for the insurance contrac ts. The buy-in
arrangements also allow for the possible future conversion int o buy-out arrangements where the insurance company would assume full responsibility
for the U.K. pension plan pension obligations, at which time the Company would derecognize the assets and liabilities of the pension plan and realize a
settlement loss or gain as a component of the net periodic benefit cost.
The following tables include amounts relating to defined benefit pension plans for both continuing and discontinued operations.

Corporate and Other: Corporate includes headquarter costs, the Company’s corporate real estate activities and Corporate Treasury while Other inclu des
the E-mobility operating segment and other non-core operating activities as well as the operating activities of certain divested businesses and stranded
corporate costs related to the planned divestment of the Robotics division.
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.
For all operating segments, the primary performance measure the CODM uses to allocate resources (including capital expenditur e and financial
resources) and assess performance as part of the monthly business review process is Operational EBITA. As part of t his 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 an y
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 pro fits 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 profitabilit y. 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, gener al 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.

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 with 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 year and three months ended December 31, 2025.
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 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 t he 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 chan ges 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 curr ent and comparable
periods, the reported key figures of such business are adjusted to exclu de 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 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.

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 h edged 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.
