The global shift towards a variety of energy sources, evolving and increased environmental regulations and requirements, and climate

change effects, present both challenges and opportunities that may impact our business. See Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for further information

about these risks.

COMPETITION. We believe GE Vernova's businesses' ability to supply the electric power industry with a broad array of advanced

technologies for an intelligent, sustainable power system that help customers accelerate the energy transition is a key differentiator among

various of our competitors. Due to increasing demand exceeding available capacity for products and services that supply the electrical

power industry, we face growing competition from emerging threats. The continuing ability to reduce cycle times and ensure available

capacity is expected to allow us to remain competitive as demand for our products and services grows significantly. In addition, continued

investment in our products and services and emerging technologies is necessary for us to successfully compete and deliver economic

value and performance to our customers through efficiency, reliability, and affordability.

Our businesses operate in highly competitive markets. We compete based on product performance, quality, branding, service and/or price

across the industries and geographies served. Various companies compete with us across single or multiple products and services.

Key Power segment competitors include Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi Power, Westinghouse, Framatome, and Rolls-Royce.

Key Wind segment competitors include Vestas, Siemens-Gamesa, and Nordex.

Key Electrification segment competitors include Hitachi Energy, Siemens Energy, Siemens, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi Electric, and

ABB.

SEGMENTS**.** We report three business segments that are aligned with the nature of equipment and services they provide, specifically

Power, Wind, and Electrification.

Power. Our Power segment serves power generation, industrial, government, and other customers worldwide with products and services

related to energy production. Our products and technologies harness resources such as natural gas, oil, diesel, water, and nuclear to

produce electric power and include gas and steam turbines, full balance of plant, upgrade, and service solutions.

Gas Power - offers a wide spectrum of heavy-duty and aeroderivative gas turbines for utilities, independent power producers, and

numerous industrial applications, ranging from small, mobile power to utility scale power plants. Gas Power also delivers maintenance and

service solutions across total plant assets and over their operational lifecycle.

Nu**clear Power - provides nuclear technology solutions for boiling water reactors including reactor design, reactor fuel and support services,

and the design and development of small modular reactors through joint ventures with Hitachi, Ltd.

Hydro Power - provides a portfolio of solutions and services for hydropower generation for both large hydropower plants and small

hydropower solutions.

Steam Power - offers a comprehensive range of steam turbine technologies and services primarily for nuclear power plants in North

America and coal-fired power plants, helping our customers deliver reliable energy, and supporting coal-fired plant customers transitioning

to a lower-carbon future.

We believe that gas power plays an essential role in the energy transition, serving as a fundamental source of reliable and dispatchable

power. Despite evolving market factors related to the energy transition, such as increased renewable energy penetration and new climate

change-related legislation and policies, we anticipate the gas power industry will grow over the next decade. We expect gas power

generation to increase at low-single digit rates, playing a critical role supporting load growth, maintaining grid stability, and energy security.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, GE Vernova's gas turbine installed base utilization was flat compared to the same period last

year. Growth in Asia from fewer outages and more HA units commissioned and higher utilization in the United States (U.S.) were offset by

Europe where increased nuclear, hydro, and renewable energy drove lower gas operations in the year. Global electricity demand increased

by low-single digits.

As of December 31, 2024, our fundamentals remained strong with approximately $73.4 billion in remaining performance obligations (RPO)

and a gas turbine installed base of approximately 7,000 units with approximately 1,700 units under long-term service agreements and an

average remaining contract life of approximately 10 years. As of December 31, 2024, we had 32 HA-Turbines in RPO, 30 being installed

and commissioned, and 115 HA-Turbines in our installed base with approximately 2.9 million operating hours.

We maintain a strong focus on our underwriting discipline and risk management to secure deals that meet our financial hurdles and ensure

we deliver confidently for our customers. Operating in emerging markets presents uncertainties in deal closures due to financing and other

complexities. Given the long-cycle nature of our business and the ongoing challenges from inflationary pressures, our Power segment has

proactively implemented lean initiatives to sustain cost productivity, collaborated closely with suppliers, and adjusted product and service

pricing in line with market demand, inflation, and industry dynamics.

We continue to invest in new product development. In Nuclear Power, we have an agreement with a customer for the deployment of small

modular nuclear reactor (SMR) technology, making it the first commercial contract of its kind in North America. SMRs have the potential to

reduce nuclear power plant costs and cycle times through their standardized and modularized design. In Gas Power, we are committed to

long-term investments to meet our growing demand from our customers by enhancing production capacity at existing factories to address

the increasing need for both equipment and services. We continue to invest in technologies and decarbonization pathways to deliver lower

carbon-emitting and more reliable power. In the fourth quarter, we secured an agreement in the United Kingdom for one of the world's first

commercial-scale gas-fired power stations with carbon capture, aiming to capture up to 2 million tons of CO2 annually and contributing to

the United Kingdom's net-zero goals. We are committed to advancing decarbonization technologies that we believe will provide our

customers with options for more renewable and more dependable energy.

2024 FORM 10-K 6

Wind. Our Wind segment includes our wind generation technologies, inclusive of onshore and offshore wind turbines and blades. In our

Wind segment, we engineer, manufacture, and commercialize wind turbines, an important technology playing a role in the energy transition

as we seek to decarbonize the world's energy sector.

Onshore Wind - delivers wind turbines, technology, and services for the onshore wind power industry by focusing on work-horse products in

select geographies, while continuing to innovate the technology to create wind turbines suitable for various markets and environmental

conditions. Our workhorse products include our 2.8-127m, 3.6-154m, and 6.1-158m onshore units. Wind services assist customers in

improving cost, capacity, and performance of their assets over the lifetime of their fleets, utilizing digital infrastructure to monitor, predict,

and optimize wind farm energy performance.

Offshore Wind - provides offshore wind power technologies and wind farm development for the offshore wind power sector. Our workhorse

product in the offshore market is our Haliade-X 220m offshore unit.

LM Wind Power - designs, produces, and tests wind turbine blades.

As we focus on providing carbon-free electricity reliably and at scale, we have simplified our segment management structure and portfolio

of product offerings, focusing on fewer and more reliable workhorse products. Our workhorse products account for approximately 70% of

our equipment RPO at December 31, 2024. Included in our RPO are services agreements on approximately 23,000 of our onshore wind

turbines, from an installed base of approximately 57,000 units.

At Onshore Wind, we are focused on improving our overall fleet availability. We are reducing product variants and deploying repairs and

other corrective measures across the fleet. Concurrently, we intend to operate in fewer geographies and focus on those geographic regions

that align better with our products and supply chain footprint, positioning our workhorse products to targeted countries. Our volume mix has

shifted towards the U.S., currently representing approximately 75% of Onshore Wind's equipment RPO, while our international volume has

become smaller and more profitable. Specifically in the U.S., the IRA introduced new, and extended existing, tax incentives, significantly

improving project economics for our customers and turbine producers. Our projects in the U.S. generally benefit from incentives available to

our customers and broadly available IRA incentives. We will continue to monitor government actions for any changes that could adversely

impact the market for wind turbine manufacturers. Finally, we are continuing our restructuring program to reduce our operating costs and

are seeing the benefits both operationally and financially.

At Offshore Wind, we continue to experience pressure related to our product and project costs and execution timelines, as we deliver on

our existing backlog. We are committed to driving quality improvements, installation efficiencies, and cost productivity. Similar to Onshore

Wind, we have embarked on a restructuring program to reduce our operating costs.

Electrification. Our Electrification segment includes grid solutions, power conversion, solar and storage solutions, which we collectively

refer to as Electrification Systems, and Electrification Software, that provide products and services required for the transmission,

distribution, conversion, storage, and orchestration of electricity from point of generation to point of consumption. Several of the key

offerings in this segment, for example, include our high-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) products, power transformers,

switchgear, and our grid automation related products and services.

Grid Solutions - enables power utilities and industries worldwide to effectively manage electricity from the point of generation to

consumption, helping the reliability, efficiency, and resiliency of the grid. Offerings include a comprehensive portfolio of equipment,

hardware, protection and control, automation, and digital services. Grid Solutions also addresses the challenges of the energy transition by

safely and reliably connecting intermittent renewable energy generation to transmission networks.

Power Conversion - applies the science and systems of power conversion to provide motors, generators, automation, and control

equipment, and drives for energy intensive industries such as marine, oil and gas, mining, rail, metals, and test systems.

Solar & Storage Solutions - provides integration of renewable energies that drive stability to the grid and integrates storage and renewable

energy generation sources.

Electrification Software - supports the transmission, distribution, conversion, storage, and orchestration of electricity from point of

generation to point of consumption.

We continue to experience robust demand for our systems, equipment, and services. Demand remains strong for large scale transmission-

related equipment to interconnect renewables and move bulk power. We also continue to benefit from higher growth in orders from other

transmission activities within our Grid Solutions business.

Our Grid Solutions business is positioned to support grid expansion and modernization needs globally. We participate in the onshore

interconnection sector and the rapidly growing offshore interconnection sector with new products and technology. We have developed and

seek to continue developing new technologies with the intention of solving for a denser, more resilient, stable, and efficient electric grid with

lower future greenhouse gas emissions.

We adjust pricing and contractual terms of our products and services based on demand, inflation, and industry dynamics. Customer lead-

times have increased as a result of demand outstripping supply, though we are proactively managing this by deploying lean initiatives to

reduce lead-times and drive cost productivity. In addition, we are making investments to expand our capacity and capabilities to support this

continued growth while benefiting from synergies across our Electrification businesses.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. GE Vernova’s R&D efforts focus on driving the energy transition. We are engineering the

technologies, forging the partnerships, and delivering innovations to electrify and decarbonize the world. We expect to invest approximately

$5 billion of cumulative R&D from 2025 through 2028 across our businesses. Approximately half of this R&D is focused on continuously

2024 FORM 10-K 7

industrializing existing products and supporting our installed base for this decade. The other half is focused on long-term innovation to

deliver our next generation of differentiated products.

R&D is performed within each of our businesses, and at multiple locations around the world, including at our research facilities in

Niskayuna, New York and Bangalore, India, which we refer to collectively as Advanced Research. Advanced Research partners with our

businesses on programs to create the technology breakthroughs that will feed our future product roadmaps. They are guided by our

customers’ demands for sustainable, affordable, resilient, and secure energy. Additionally, Advanced Research partners with other

established and start-up companies and educational institutions to incubate and commercialize new technology and launch new

businesses in markets that are key to the energy transition but go beyond GE Vernova’s core businesses.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. We have a substantial portfolio of intellectual property (IP) assets, registered and unregistered, that

protect both our investments in R&D across our businesses as well as our products and services. To protect our innovation, we rely on a

variety of IP rights and data protection measures, as well as monitor the activities of third parties to ensure that unauthorized use of IP does

not go unremedied.

Patents are an important part of our IP strategy. They protect our inventions around the world. We shape and reposition our patent portfolio

to cover emerging and other technologies that drive our core businesses. Software, which is important to all of our businesses, but is

especially central to the IP position of the Electrification businesses, is protected by a combination of copyrights, patents, and contractual

protections.

We protect our trade secrets and confidential know-how by actively enforcing our internal policies for data classification and protection and

by requiring and enforcing specific innovation and proprietary information agreements and non-disclosure agreements. We also utilize

contemporary cybersecurity tools and systems, as well as physical security measures, that safeguard our most valuable data from insider

threats and third-party concentrated efforts to misappropriate our IP. See Item 1C. "Cybersecurity" for further information.

While our patents and other IP protections are important to our operations, we do not consider any single IP asset or group of assets to be

of material significance to any of our financial segments or our businesses as a whole. However, we believe that we derive a sustained

competitive advantage both from our IP portfolio as well as technical know-how embedded in our products and manufacturing techniques

developed over decades. We further believe that our understanding of our customers’ needs, technology expertise, and manufacturing

know-how are critical to our business.

In addition to our IP portfolio, we have a license to use certain IP from GE Aerospace, including the GE name and the GE Monogram. The

license applies to our products and services, as well as to natural extensions and evolutions thereof. See “Certain Relationships and

Related Person Transactions—Agreements with GE—Agreements Governing Intellectual Property” in our information statement dated

March 8, 2024, which was attached as Exhibit 99.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K furnished with the SEC on March 8, 2024 (the

Information Statement).

GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN. Annually, we purchase approximately $20 billion in materials and components sourced from over 100

countries. We face various supply chain challenges, many of which are industry-wide or arise from geopolitical and economic conditions

beyond our control. These include global conflicts, global economic trends, geopolitical dynamics like sanctions, tariffs and other trade

tensions, inflation, logistics issues, human rights landscape shifts, and regulatory changes. Additionally, potential disruptions such as

natural disasters and other extreme weather conditions, global pandemics, and cyber-attacks could significantly impact our operations,

financial performance, and ability to meet customer commitments.

To address these challenges, we maintain strong supplier relationships and prioritize opportunities to localize our supply chain to serve our

distinct geographies, while at the same time allowing us to maintain a globally diverse supply chain for operational resiliency. Our risk-

based supplier onboarding process involves thorough due diligence, focusing on performance, labor standards, ethical sourcing, and

human rights, supported by an audit program. We are expanding these efforts to consider environmental impact and environmental, social

and governance (ESG) regulations, along with alignment to our GE Vernova sustainability framework.

Internally, we manage risks through cyber mitigation, business continuity planning, and crisis management. We have developed cross-

business councils for supply chain and procurement to proactively share best practices around supply chain resiliency. We are also

enhancing our risk management tools to leverage technology for better market trend analysis and risk mitigation concerning commodity

pricing, availability, lead-times, country specific tariff impacts, and ESG compliance. Specifically, to minimize inflationary impacts, we have a

sourcing process to monitor commodity price fluctuations across the ferrous, non-ferrous, precious metals, and energy commodities. We

continue to employ and evolve lean practices across our operations to enhance safety, quality, and delivery performance, building new

capabilities to scale our supply chain aligned to our business growth.

related to:

• protection of the environment and use of natural resources;

• occupational health and safety;

• the use, management, release, storage, transportation, remediation, and disposal of, and exposure to, hazardous substances and

waste;

• our products, including the use of certain chemicals in our products and production processes;

• emissions to air and water; and

• climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.

EHS laws vary by jurisdiction and have become increasingly stringent over time. These requirements impose certain responsibilities on our

business, including the obligation to install pollution control technologies and obtain and maintain various environmental permits, the cost of

which may be substantial. Satisfying such local EHS requirements is often a minimum requirement for us, and we commit extensive

resources to maintaining our compliance with these requirements. For example, by applying our enterprise standards and core

requirements everywhere (except where local regulations are more stringent), we often go beyond local compliance requirements,

especially where local standards are weak or lacking. Safety is incorporated into our lean operating method and we prioritize safeguarding

our employees and contractors. We also enhance our internal enterprise standards and core requirements regularly through a culture of

continuous improvement and documenting opportunities to improve through internal and external audits.

Our EHS management system includes measures to verify that we are monitoring adherence to GE Vernova EHS standards and regulatory

requirements through audits and inspections. Operations are assessed on a regular basis as part of our management of change (MOC)

process to mitigate safety risks. EHS operational reviews at both the business and GE Vernova level address progress on program

execution as well as strategy discussions related to emerging EHS risks.

REGULATION**.** We are a manufacturer and servicer of energy products, a participant in the energy supply chain, a large publicly traded

U.S. corporation that operates globally, a government contractor, and an employer of a large global workforce. As such, our businesses and

operations are affected by global laws, regulations, and standards that impact each of these capacities.

• Manufacturer and Servicer.** Our production cycle and products are subject to global regulations, such as permitting, quality

controls, environmental and eco-design regulations, health and safety regulations, export control laws, product specifications,

market-related policies, and distribution regulations in countries in which our products are manufactured or sold. We maintain

processes and procedures that comply with such applicable global laws and regulations as they pertain to the various stages of

2024 FORM 10-K 9

our production life cycle, including the development of our products. Our ability to design, market, sell, and distribute our products

globally depends upon our compliance with laws and regulations in each jurisdiction.

We design and manufacture sophisticated, innovative products and services for the energy sector, which are subject to EHS and

sustainability regulations. These regulations, such as the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals

(REACH) regulation of the European Union (EU), include those governing chemicals and components used or generated by

products or manufacturing processes, such as per/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), contained in components and products

sourced in connection with manufacturing and services operations. In addition, some of our operations involve the handling, use,

transportation, and disposal of radioactive and hazardous materials, including nuclear fuel, nuclear power devices and their

components. We are subject to international, federal, state, and local regulations governing the handling, use, transportation, and

disposal of such materials.

Some of our businesses are subject to product regulatory regimes specific to their sector. In particular:

◦Nuclear. Our nuclear products and technologies are regulated through country-specific laws and regulations and are

subject to various safety-related requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, the Department of Energy, and the

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). In the U.S., the NRC oversees the licensing, permitting, and decommissioning of

nuclear sites. Our Nuclear business’s standard process is to work with the national regulatory commissions in order to

comply with all aspects of regulations from permitting at the time of site selection to decommissioning requirements at the

end of life.

◦Offshore Wind. The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) is a U.S. federal agency that

oversees the safe and environmentally responsible exploration and development of U.S. offshore energy resources. Our

Offshore Wind business is subject to BSEE regulatory oversight and enforcement in connection with the Vineyard Wind

offshore wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts. For Vineyard Wind, we are the manufacturer and supplier of our newly

developed Haliade-X 220m wind turbines (Haliade-X). In July 2024, a wind turbine blade event occurred at the Vineyard

Wind offshore wind farm as a result of a manufacturing deviation. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for further information. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the

authority that oversees health and safety issues in the offshore energy sector in England, Wales, and Scotland. The

Marine Management Organisation (MMO) oversees environmental issues affecting the offshore energy sector in the

United Kingdom. Our Offshore Wind business is subject to HSE and MMO regulatory oversight and enforcement in

connection with the Dogger Bank offshore wind farm off the coast of England. For Dogger Bank, we are the manufacturer

and supplier of our Haliade-X.

◦Electrification Software. Our Electrification Software business builds software and solutions that enable our customers to

use data and technology to, among other things, orchestrate reliable and efficient power transmission and delivery.

Beyond delivering innovative solutions that ensure grid resiliency such as GridOS, our Electrification Software business

has made significant investments in compliance programs and security systems, allowing our products and services to

comply with the applicable privacy, data, and cybersecurity regulations.

◦Financial Services. In connection with certain business activities, an entity of our Financial Services business has

registered with the SEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (Advisers Act),

and another entity has become a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (Exchange

Act), and a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) member firm. These registered entities are subject to a

number of laws and regulations from the SEC, FINRA, and state securities regulators, as applicable, which impose

various compliance, disclosure, qualification, recordkeeping, reporting, and other requirements. In addition, under the

Advisers Act, our registered investment adviser entity has fiduciary duties to its clients, is subject to restrictions on its

ability to engage in principal and agency cross transactions, and may be inspected by the SEC to determine whether we

are conducting our activities in compliance with applicable law.

• Participant in the Global Energy Supply Chain.** As a participant in the global energy supply chain, our businesses and

operations must comply with global sanctions regimes, as well as an increasing number of global laws and regulations that extend

to our sourcing, purchasing, and life cycles. Our import activities are governed by the unique customs laws and regulations in each

of the countries where we operate. Pursuant to their laws and regulations, governments may impose economic sanctions against

certain countries, persons, and entities that may restrict or prohibit transactions involving such countries, persons, and entities,

which may limit or prevent our conduct of business in certain jurisdictions. The scope of these regulations extends to product

circularity and extended producer responsibility, sustainability disclosure requirements such as the EU Corporate Sustainability

Reporting Directive (CSRD), carbon emissions (including the EU Carbon Board Adjustment Mechanism), labor and employment,

deforestation (such as the EU Deforestation Act), human rights due diligence, modern slavery, forced labor, child labor, supply

chain due diligence including the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and whistleblower directives. In

addition to complying with such regulations with respect to our own operations, a growing number of sourcing regulations apply

these regulatory requirements across our full value chain, including global regulations about human rights and environmental due

diligence conducted with respect to suppliers.

• Government Contractor.** Many of our sales are made to U.S. or foreign governments, regulated entities such as public utilities,

state-owned companies, and other public sector customers. These types of sales often entail additional compliance obligations,

such as public procurement laws. For example, a bidder may be required to demonstrate that it has been active as a local

registered company or has sufficient capitalization or technical qualifications. For contracts with the U.S. federal government, with

certain exceptions, we must comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and applicable agency rules, regulations governing

Federal Financial Assistance Agreements, rules and regulations issued by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs,

the Procurement Integrity Act, the Buy American Act, the Trade Agreements Act, and/or presidential executive orders. The U.S.

federal government could invoke the Defense Production Act, requiring that we accept and prioritize contracts for materials

deemed necessary for national defense, regardless of loss in revenue incurred on such contracts. From time to time, we may also

need to comply with the EU’s Foreign Subsidies Regulation, which imposes mandatory notification and approval requirements on

companies bidding on large public tenders in the EU.

2024 FORM 10-K 10

• Global, Publicly Traded Energy Company.** As a publicly traded company in the U.S, we are subject to the laws and regulations

of the SEC as well as the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, on which our common stock is listed**.** As a global enterprise

operating in over 100 countries, we must abide by laws and regulations applicable to entities across many jurisdictions, including

those governing antitrust and competition, as well as:

◦Cybersecurity, Data Privacy, and Artificial Intelligence. We are subject to rapidly evolving laws and regulations governing

cybersecurity and data privacy in many jurisdictions, including those imposed by federal and state regulators in the U.S.,

such as the Federal Trade Commission and state agencies, and the General Data Protection Regulation in Europe. As

artificial intelligence (AI) is an emerging area, we expect to see increased legislation, such as the EU Artificial Intelligence

Act, and additional regulatory obligations across the jurisdictions in which we operate.

◦Anti-bribery and Anti-corruption. The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the United Kingdom (U.K.) Bribery Act of

2010, the Brazil Clean Companies Act, China’s Unfair Competition Law, India’s Prevention of Corruption Act, and similar

anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws in other jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from

making improper payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.

• Employer.** As an employer of full-time, part-time, seasonal, unionized and non-unionized labor, we are required to create

compensation programs, employment policies, and other administrative programs that comply with the laws of multiple countries.

In addition, there are diverse global regulations regarding our independent and third-party contractor workforce. Our operations

are subject to global labor and employment laws, including minimum wage and living wage laws and directives, wage and hour

laws, health and safety laws such as Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), immigration laws, and laws relating

to minimum age child labor, modern slavery, and forced labor. Federal and local labor laws also govern our interactions with

employee-representative organizations around the world. We also have significant obligations and liabilities with respect to our

postretirement benefit plans, including pension, healthcare, and life insurance benefits obligations, all of which are subject to

applicable laws and regulations.

These laws and regulations are subject to change at any time. We make the necessary adjustments to our processes in order to maintain

compliance with the regulatory environment impacting all aspects of our businesses. Complying with requirements can impose significant

costs, especially in jurisdictions where we do not have a significant physical presence. See Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for further information

regarding risks and costs associated with such compliance.

SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS

An investment in our company is subject to a number of risks. These risks relate to our business and strategy, industry dynamics, laws and

regulations, the Spin-Off, our common stock, and the securities market. Any of these risks and other risks as more fully described below

under this Item 1A. "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K could materially and adversely affect our business,

results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made in

this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

• We provide complex and specialized products, solutions, and services, and we could be adversely affected by actual or perceived

quality issues or safety failures.

• If our ongoing efforts to achieve our anticipated operational cost savings and implement initiatives to control or reduce our

operating costs are not successful, our financial results and cash flows may be adversely affected.

• Significant disruptions in our supply chain, including the high cost or unavailability of raw materials, components, and products

essential to our business, and significant disruptions to our manufacturing and production facilities and distribution networks could

adversely affect our future financial results and our ability to execute our operations on a timely basis.

• Our failure to manage customer relationships and customer contracts could adversely affect our financial results.

• Our ability to maintain our investment grade credit ratings could affect our ability to access capital, could increase our interest

rates, and could limit our ability to secure new contracts or business opportunities.

• The strategic priorities and financial performance of many of our businesses are subject to market and other dynamics related to

decarbonization, which can pose risks in addition to opportunities.

• Policies may alter the demand mix for our products in unfavorable ways, and any reductions or the elimination of governmental

incentives or policies that support renewable energy could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations,

cash flows, financial condition, and prospects.

• Our business is exposed to risks associated with the volatile global economic environment and geopolitical conditions.

• We operate in highly competitive environments. Our failure to compete successfully could adversely affect our results of

operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

• Our business strategy may include acquisitions, investments, joint ventures, partnerships, or divestitures to support our growth

and financial performance, and our failure to successfully execute these transactions could adversely affect our business.

• There are risks associated with our joint venture arrangements, consortiums, and similar collaborations with third parties for

certain projects, which could impose additional costs and obligations on us.

• Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and introduce new technologies.

2024 FORM 10-K 11

• Failure to meet ESG (including sustainability) expectations or standards or achieve our ESG goals could adversely affect our

business, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

• Our operations are subject to various EHS laws and regulations, and potential litigation, and non-compliance with, or liabilities

under, such laws and regulations could result in substantial costs, fines, sanctions, claims, additional regulatory oversight,

suspension of operations, and reputational harm.

• We are subject to laws and regulations governing government contracts, public procurement, and government reimbursements in

many jurisdictions, and the failure to comply could adversely affect our business.

• If we are unable to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to execute our business strategy effectively

and our operations and financial results could be adversely affected.

• We may be unable to obtain, maintain, protect, or effectively enforce our IP rights.

• Increased cybersecurity requirements, vulnerabilities, threats, and more sophisticated and targeted computer crimes pose a risk to

our systems, networks, products, solutions, services, and data, as well as our reputation, which could adversely affect our

business.

• Failure to comply with evolving data privacy and data protection laws and regulations or to otherwise protect personal information

in the jurisdictions in which we operate, may adversely impact our business and financial results.

• Volatility in currency exchange rates may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

• We may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the Spin-Off.

• Our stock price may fluctuate significantly.

You should carefully consider the following risks and other information set forth in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in evaluating GE

Vernova and GE Vernova’s common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks and uncertainties we face.

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we presently deem less significant may also adversely affect our

business.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Our Industry

Risks Relating to Operations and Supply Chain

We provide complex and specialized products, solutions, and services, and we could be adversely affected by actual or

perceived quality issues or safety failures. We produce highly sophisticated and leading-edge products and provide specialized

solutions and services for complex technology and engineered products and projects, including both products and software. Many of our

products, solutions, and services involve complex industrial machinery or infrastructure projects, such as gas turbines, onshore and

offshore wind turbines, grid infrastructure, or nuclear power generation. A serious product or execution failure could result in a range of

adverse outcomes, including injuries or death, widespread power outages, suspension of power production, installation or fleet delivery

delays, environmental impacts, or similar systemic issues and could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial

position, cash flows, and results of operations. Actual or perceived design, production, performance, or other quality issues related to new

product introductions or existing product lines have resulted and can result in direct warranty, maintenance, and other claims for damages,

including costs associated with project delays, repairs, or replacements, some of which have been and can in the future be for significant

amounts. For example, during the summer of 2024, a wind turbine blade event occurred, related to a manufacturing deviation, at the

Vineyard Wind offshore wind farm where we are the manufacturer and supplier of our newly developed Haliade-X 220m wind turbines

(Haliade-X). See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Offshore Wind" for

additional information. Quality issues can also result in reputational harm to our business with a potential loss of attractiveness of our

products, solutions, and services to new and existing customers. A widespread fleet issue could result in revenue loss while the associated

product is suspended from operation. This risk is pronounced in connection with the introduction of new technology. For example, due to

the difficulties associated with scaling up production of new products and components, the challenges of servicing our substantial installed

fleet of onshore wind turbines and the difficulties of servicing our offshore wind turbines, a widespread fleet product quality issue with our

wind turbines could cause us to inc

We may be impacted by material changes in EHS regulations or subject to substantial liability for environmental impacts, both of which may

require increased capital expenditures. We may also be subject to increasingly stringent environmental standards in the future, particularly

as greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change regulations and initiatives increase and EHS laws and regulations grow in number and

complexity. Such laws and regulations may impose additional liability on industrial manufacturers for the use or generation of chemicals,

such as per/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), contained in components and products sourced in connection with manufacturing and

services operations, and if adopted, may create additional liability, impact product design, manufacturing, and/or servicing and negatively

affect financial results. Environmental laws also generally impose liability for investigation, remediation, and removal of hazardous materials

and other waste products on property owners and those who dispose of materials at waste sites, whether or not the waste was disposed of

legally at the time in question. Some environmental laws provide for joint and several or strict liability for remediation of releases of

hazardous substances, which could result in us incurring a liability for environmental damage without regard to our negligence or fault.

Such laws and regulations could expose us to liability arising out of the conduct of operations or conditions caused by others, or for our acts

which were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time the acts were performed.

2024 FORM 10-K 21

Our nuclear operations expose us to various additional environmental, regulatory, and financial risks, including:

• potential liabilities relating to harmful effects on the environment and human health resulting from nuclear operations and the

storage, handling and disposal of radioactive materials;

• unplanned expenditures relating to maintenance, operation, security, defects, upgrades and repairs required by the NRC and

other government agencies;

• limitations on the amounts and types of insurance commercially available to cover losses that might arise in connection with

nuclear operations; and

• potential liabilities arising out of a nuclear, radiological or criticality incident, whether or not it is within our control.

Our nuclear operations are subject to various safety-related requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, the Department of Energy, and

the NRC. In the event of non-compliance, these agencies might increase regulatory oversight, impose fines or shut down our operations,

depending upon the assessment of the severity of the situation. Revised security and safety requirements promulgated by these agencies

could necessitate substantial capital and other expenditures. In addition, we must comply with and are affected by laws and regulations

relating to the award, administration, and performance of U.S. Government contracts. Government contract laws and regulations affect how

we do business with our customers and, in some instances, impose added costs on our business. A violation of specific laws and

regulations could result in the imposition of fines and penalties or the termination of our contracts or debarment from bidding on contracts.

We may be subject to periodic claims, litigation, regulatory proceedings, and enforcement actions, which may adversely affect

our business and financial performance. From time to time, we are involved in claims, lawsuits, regulatory proceedings, investigations,

and enforcement actions brought or threatened against us in the ordinary course of business. Our business is subject to the risk of claims

involving current and former employees, affiliates, subcontractors, suppliers, competitors, stockholders, government regulatory agencies or

others through private actions, class actions, whistleblower claims, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions, investigations, or other

proceedings. Additionally, we have had, and expect in the future to have, customers who assert contractual or other claims related to the

performance or design of our products, timeliness of delivery or other aspects of our commercial relationships. Given the nature of our

business, which often involves large projects and long-term commercial relationships, such claims, whether asserted in commercial

discussions, litigation or other types of proceedings, can be for significant amounts.

Global enforcement of anti-corruption laws, such as the FCPA, has increased substantially in recent years, with more frequent voluntary

self-disclosure by companies, aggressive investigations (including coordinated investigations across countries and governmental

authorities) and enforcement proceedings by U.S. and non-U.S. governmental agencies, and assessment of significant civil and criminal

fines, penalties, and other sanctions against companies and individuals. We may face liability under anti-corruption laws based upon

actions or inactions even when they are not subject to our control. Our global activities can also subject us to legacy legal proceedings and

legal compliance risks that relate to claimed anti-competitive conduct or improper payments of certain companies we acquire during the

pre-acquisition periods. Such investigations or government scrutiny may also impact our ability to participate in various governmental

financing programs and could limit our access to project financing from multilateral development banks and the World Bank.

Due to the inherent uncertainties associated with the resolution of claims, litigation, regulatory proceedings, investigations, and

enforcement actions, it is often difficult to accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such actions or proceedings. The outcome of such

claims, actions, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings, is often difficult to assess or quantify, as plaintiffs or regulatory agencies may

seek injunctive relief or recovery of very large or indeterminate amounts, and the magnitude of the potential loss may remain unknown for

substantial periods of time or until the time of a final judgment, award, order or settlement. Given that our business involves large scale

infrastructure projects and products and service contracts with a long duration, we are involved in commercial litigation or disputes from

time to time where the initial amounts claimed by counterparties have been and may be large, even if ultimately our liability or settlement

amounts to resolve such claims is significantly lower. In addition, plaintiffs in many types of actions may seek punitive damages, civil

penalties, consequential damages or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief.

Activist stockholders advocating for certain governance or strategic changes may also bring actions against us. These proceedings or

actions could result in substantial cost and may require us to devote substantial resources to defend ourselves and distract our

management from the operation of our business.

While we maintain insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and

is subject to various exclusions as well as caps on amounts recoverable. We may therefore incur significant expenses defending any such

suit or government charge and may be required to pay amounts or otherwise change our operations in ways that could adversely affect our

results of operations, and cash flows, and financial condition. For further information on material pending legal proceedings, see Note 22 in

the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements.

We are subject to antitrust and competition laws that can result in sanctions and conditions on the way we conduct our business.

We are subject to antitrust and competition laws, which generally prohibit certain types of conduct deemed to be anti

the Spin-Off.

GE Vernova has processes for assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity risks that are built into our risk management program

and IT functions. These processes are designed to help protect our information assets from internal and external cyber threats, protect

employee information from unauthorized access or attack, and secure our networks, systems, and products. We have developed and

implemented a cybersecurity framework intended to assess, identify, and manage risks from threats to the security of our information,

systems, products, and networks using a risk-based approach. The framework is informed in part by industry standards such as the

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and International Organization for Standardization 27001

(ISO 27001) Framework. This approach does not imply that GE Vernova meets all technical standards, specifications, or requirements

under the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or ISO 27001.

2024 FORM 10-K 32

Our key cybersecurity processes include:

• Risk-based controls for information systems and information on our network.** We seek to maintain an IT infrastructure that

implements physical, administrative, and technical controls that are calibrated based on risk and designed to protect the

confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our information systems and information stored on the Company’s networks, including

customer information, employee information, IP, and proprietary information.

• Cybersecurity incident response plan and testing.** We have a cybersecurity incident response plan and a dedicated team to

respond to cybersecurity incidents. When a cybersecurity incident occurs or a vulnerability is identified, GE Vernova has cross-

functional teams that are responsible for leading the initial assessment of priority and severity. External experts may also be

engaged as appropriate. GE Vernova’s cybersecurity team assists in responding to incidents depending on severity levels and

seeks to improve our cybersecurity incident management plan through periodic tabletops or simulations at the enterprise and

business levels.

• Training.** We provide security awareness training to help employees understand their information protection and cybersecurity

responsibilities. We also provide additional role-based training to applicable employees based on customer requirements,

regulatory obligations, and industry risks.

• Supplier risk assessments.** We have implemented a third-party risk management process that includes expectations regarding

information protection and cybersecurity. That process, among other things, provides for GE Vernova to perform cybersecurity

assessments on certain suppliers based on their risk profile and a related rating process. GE Vernova also seeks contractual

commitments from key suppliers to appropriately secure and maintain their IT systems and protect our information that is

processed on their systems.

• Third-party assessments.** We have third-party cybersecurity companies engaged to periodically assess GE Vernova’s

cybersecurity posture and assist in identifying and remediating risks from cybersecurity threats.

GE Vernova considers cybersecurity, along with other top risks, within our enterprise risk management framework. The enterprise risk

management framework includes internal reporting at the enterprise level with consideration of key risk indicators, trends, and

countermeasures for cybersecurity and other types of significant risks. GE Vernova does not believe that there are currently any known

incidents from cybersecurity threats that are reasonably likely to materially affect GE Vernova or its business strategy, results of operations,

or financial condition. As is the case for all large, global companies, we face certain ongoing risks from cybersecurity threats that, if

realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or

financial condition. See Item 1A. "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Technology and Intellectual Property" for further information about these

risks. We outsource certain cybersecurity functions and will continue to look for opportunities to utilize managed security service providers.

In addition, we collaborate with GE Aerospace on certain cybersecurity functions and will continue to do so during a transition period

following our Spin-Off. These arrangements increase our overall cyber risk given the degree of our interconnectedness with these third

parties and the potential impact on our outsourced functions that could be caused by an attack on them.

The Audit Committee of the GE Vernova’s Board of Directors is responsible for board-level oversight of cybersecurity risk, and the Audit

Committee reports back to the full Board about this and other areas within its responsibility. As part of its oversight role, the Audit

Committee receives reporting about GE Vernova’s practices, programs, notable threats or incidents, and other developments related to

cybersecurity throughout the year, including through periodic updates from our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). The Audit

Committee also receives information about cybersecurity risks as part of GE Vernova’s enterprise risk management framework and

reporting. In addition to receiving reports from the Audit Committee, the Board also periodically receives direct reports from the CISO on the

Company's cybersecurity risk management.

GE Vernova’s CISO reports to GE Vernova’s Chief Information Officer and leads our overall cybersecurity function. The CISO has over 20

years of experience in managing and leading IT or cybersecurity teams and participates in various cyber security organizations. The CISO

collaborates with business unit CISOs to identify and analyze cybersecurity risks to GE Vernova; consider industry trends; implement

controls, as appropriate and feasible, to mitigate these risks; and enable business leaders to make risk-based business decisions that

implicate cybersecurity considerations. The CISO meets with senior leadership to review and discuss GE Vernova’s cybersecurity program,

including emerging cyber risks, threats, and industry trends. The CISO also supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate

cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, including by collaborating with internal security personnel and business

stakeholders, and incorporating threat intelligence and other information obtained from governmental, public, or private sources to inform

our cybersecurity technologies and processes.

and 95 countries. Approximately 85% of the sites are leased and 15% are owned. GE Vernova periodically reviews the portfolio of facilities

for opportunities to optimize and best align our footprint needs.

Within this portfolio of properties, GE Vernova's subsidiaries operate 91 manufacturing sites, 18 of which are located in the U.S. and 73 are

located internationally. The manufacturing facilities are used by GE Vernova's segments as follows:

2024 FORM 10-K 33

The locations of GE Vernova's manufacturing locations by geographic region are as follows:

In addition to the manufacturing facilities described above, GE Vernova maintains many offices, warehouses, and distribution facilities

globally.

Many of our facilities serve several of our businesses and may be used for multiple purposes, such as for administration, sales, research,

laboratory matters, manufacturing, and service operations. We consider our facilities suitable and adequate for their respective purposes

and do not anticipate difficulty in renewing existing leases as they expire or finding alternative facilities if necessary.

administrative proceedings arising under laws that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment where a governmental authority

is a party and that involve potential monetary sanctions of $300,000 or greater. In March 2024, one of our Australian subsidiaries received

notice from the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) of its intention to issue

infringement notices imposing administrative fines on the subsidiary for importing equipment containing SF6 gas without an equipment

license, as required by local law related to synthetic greenhouse gas management and seek a court order to impose civil penalties for

delinquent reporting under such law. The applicable local law regulates the import to Australia of synthetic greenhouse gases in equipment,

including certain of our switchgear products, and our subsidiary had neglected to renew the import license required under the law. We

responded to DCCEEW, and following discussions with the agency, paid approximately $0.3 million in fines in connection with the

infringement notices during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Discussions with DCCEEW regarding a court-issued civil penalty order

are pending and we expect additional fines and related costs associated with such order may be more than $300,000. See Note 22 in the

Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for additional information relating to legal matters.

PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

GE Vernova common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "GEV." As of January 15, 2025, there were

approximately 175,000 stockholders of record.

The annual changes for the four-quarter period shown in the above graph are based on the assumption that $100 had been invested in GE

Vernova common stock, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (S&P 500) and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Industrials Stock Index (S&P

Industrial) on April 2, 2024, and that all quarterly dividends were reinvested. On April 2, 2024, the Company began trading as an

independent, publicly traded company under the stock symbol “GEV” on the New York Stock Exchange. The cumulative dollar returns

shown on the graph represent the value that such investments would have had on the date indicated.

On December 10, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a $0.25 per share quarterly dividend on the outstanding common stock of the

Company, which we paid on January 28, 2025 to stockholders of record as of December 20, 2024. The Company currently expects

quarterly dividends to continue in future periods, although they remain subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors.

The payment of future dividends, if any, will be based on several factors, including the Company’s financial performance, outlook and

liquidity.

PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS. On December 10, 2024, we

announced that the Board of Directors had authorized up to $6 billion of common stock repurchases. We repurchased 8 thousand shares

for $3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2024 under this authorization.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction

with our consolidated and combined financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting

principles (GAAP), and corresponding notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following discussion and analysis

provides information that management believes to be relevant to understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the

Company for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Unless otherwise noted, tables are presented in U.S. dollars in millions,

except for per-share amounts which are presented in U.S. dollars. Certain columns and rows within tables may not add due to the use of

rounded numbers. Percentages presented in this report are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions. Unless otherwise noted,

statements related to changes in operating results relate to the corresponding period in the prior year. Refer to the "Management's

2024 FORM 10-K 35

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in the Information Statement for discussions of results

for the years ended December 31, 2023 versus 2022.

In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated and combined financial

data but not presented in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP

financial measures” under SEC rules. For the reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most

directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see "—Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

TRENDS AND FACTORS IMPACTING OUR PERFORMANCE. We believe our performance and future success depends on a

number of factors that present significant opportunities for us but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in

Item 1A. "Risk Factors."

Our worldwide operations are affected by regional and global factors impacting energy demand, including industry trends like

decarbonization, an increasing demand for renewable energy alternatives, and changes in broader economic and geopolitical conditions.

These trends, along with the growing focus on the digitization and sustainability of the electricity infrastructure, drive growth across each of

our business segments. We believe that our industry-defining technologies and commitment to innovation position us well to capitalize on

these long-term trends:

• Demand growth for electricity generation – Significant investment, infrastructure, and supply diversity will be essential to help meet

forecasted energy demand growth arising from population and global economic growth.

• Decarbonization – The urgency to combat climate change is fueling technology advancements that improve the economic viability and

efficiency of renewable energy alternatives and facilitate the transition to a more sustainable power sector.

• Evolving generation mix – The power industry is shifting from coal generation to more electricity generated from zero- or low-carbon

energy sources, and an evolving balance of generation sources will be necessary to maintain a reliable, resilient and affordable

system.

*•*Energy resilience & security – Threats and challenges from extreme weather events, cyber-attacks, and geopolitical tensions have

increased focus on the strength and resilience of power generation and transmission and reinforced the need for a diversified mix of

energy sources.

• Grid modernization and investment – Increased demand and the integration of advanced generation and storage solutions drive the

need to update aging infrastructure with new grid integration and automation solutions.

• Regulatory and policy changes – Government policies and regulations, such as carbon pricing, renewable energy mandates, and

subsidies for renewable energy technologies, can significantly impact the power generation landscape. Staying ahead of regulatory

changes and adapting to new compliance requirements is crucial for maintaining a competitive advantage.

• Financial and investment dynamics – Access to capital and investment trends in the energy sector can influence the development and

deployment of new power generation projects. Understanding market dynamics and securing funding are key to progressing strategic

initiatives.

TRANSITION TO STAND-ALONE CO****MPANY

Financial Presentation Under GE Ownership. We completed our separation from General Electric Company (GE), which now operates

as GE Aerospace, on April 2, 2024 (the Spin-Off). In connection with the Spin-Off, GE distributed all of the shares of our common stock to

its stockholders and we became an independent company. Historically, as a business of GE, we relied on GE to manage certain of our

operations and provide certain services, the costs of which were either allocated or directly billed to us. Accordingly, our historical costs for

such services may not necessarily reflect the actual expenses we would have incurred, or will incur, as an independent company and may

not reflect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows had we been a separate, stand-alone company during the historical

periods presented. See Note 1 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.

Stand-Alone Company Expenses. As a result of the Spin-Off, we are subject to the requirements of the federal and state securities laws

and stock exchange requirements. We have established additional procedures and practices as a stand-alone public company. As a result,

we are incurring additional costs related to external reporting, internal audit, treasury, investor relations, corporate governance, and stock

administration.

Production Tax Credit Investments. Our Financial Services business offers a wide range of financial solutions to customers and projects

that utilize our Power and Wind products and services. These solutions historically included making minority investments in projects, often

through common or preferred equity investments where we generally seek to exit as soon as practicable once a project achieves

commercial operation. Many such investments are in renewable energy U.S. tax equity vehicles that generate various tax credits, including

production tax credits (PTCs), which can be used to offset an equity partner’s tax liabilities in the U.S. and support the overall target return

on investment. In connection with the Spin-Off, GE retained all renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments of $1.2 billion and any tax

attributes from historical tax equity investing activity. We manage these investments under the Framework Investment Agreement with GE.

Additionally, during the second quarter, in connection with GE retaining the renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments, we recognized a

$0.1 billion benefit, recorded in Cost of equipment, related to deferred intercompany profit from historical equipment sales to the related

investees. See Notes 11, 21 and 23 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.

DISPOSITION ACTIVITY**.** During the second quarter of 2024, our Steam Power business completed the sale of part of its nuclear

activities to Electricité de France S.A. (EDF). In connection with the disposition, we received net cash proceeds of $0.6 billion, which is

subject to customary working capital and other post-closing adjustments. As a result, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.0 billion recorded

in Other income (expense) – net in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). See Notes 3, 15, 16 and 19 in the Notes

to the consolidated and co

primarily from the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. These exposures are

managed and mitigated with the use of financial instruments, including derivatives contracts. We apply policies to manage these risks,

including prohibitions on speculative activities.

Foreign Exchange Risk. As a result of our global operations, we generate and incur a significant portion of our revenues and expenses in

currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Such principal currencies include the euro and British pound sterling. We are also exposed to the risk

of changes in foreign exchange rates due to our net investment in foreign operations. The effects from the foreign currency exchange rate

fluctuations on the translation of net amounts to the U.S. dollar, the reporting currency, are reflected in our equity position. See Note 2 in the

Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information regarding our net gains (losses) from foreign currency

transactions.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measure

2024 FORM 10-K 48

Foreign exchange rate risk is managed with a variety of techniques, including selective use of derivatives. It is our policy to minimize

currency exposures by conducting operations either within functional currencies or using the protection of hedging strategies. A 10%

increase in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar would have decreased our net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 by

approximately $0.1 billion. This analysis considered the net currency exposure of foreign currency denominated monetary items and

hedging instruments.

Interest Rate Risk. We are subject to interest rate risks in the ordinary course of our business. The level of our interest rate risk is

dependent on our debt exposure and capital structure and is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. Historical

fluctuations in interest rates have not been significant for us; however, this may vary in the future as our capital structure changes.

Commodity Risk**.** Our operations require the use of various commodities. Fluctuations in the prices and availability of these commodities

can impact our cost of equipment sold and thus our profitability. To mitigate this risk, we have implemented various strategies, including

commercial actions, diversification of supplier base, and derivative instruments. We continuously monitor our exposure to commodity price

fluctuations and adjust our risk management strategies as necessary.

See Note 20 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information regarding our risk exposures, our

use of derivatives, and the effects of this activity on our consolidated and combined financial statements.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of GE Vernova Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated and combined statements of financial position of GE Vernova Inc. and subsidiaries (the

"Company") as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the related consolidated and combined statements of income (loss), comprehensive

income (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes

(collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the

financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the

three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the

Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting

Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.

federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to

obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The

Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our

audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an

opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or

fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the

amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant

estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits

provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was

communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to

the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit

matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical

audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Sales of services - Revenue recognition on certain Power long-term service agreements - Refer to Note****s 2 and 9 t****o the financial

statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company enters into long-term service agreements with customers within its Power segment. These agreements require the Company

to provide preventative and routine maintenance services, outage services, and stand-by “warranty-type” services, which generally range

from 5 to 25 years. Revenue for these agreements is recognized using the percentage of completion method, based on costs incurred

relative to total estimated costs over the contract term. As part of the revenue recognition process, the Company estimates both customer

payments that are expected to be received and costs to perform maintenance services over the contract term. Key assumptions within

those estimates that require significant judgment from management include: (a) how the customer will utilize the assets covered over the

contract term, (b) the expected timing and extent of future maintenance and outage services, (c) the future cost of materials, labor, and

other resources, and (d) forward looking information concerning market conditions.

Given the complexity involved with evaluating the estimates, which includes significant judgment necessary to estimate future costs,

auditing management’s key assumptions within the estimates required a high degree of auditor judgment and extensive audit effort,

including the involvement of professionals with specialized skills and industry knowledge.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our auditing procedures over the estimates and key assumptions described above related to the amount and timing of revenue recognition

of the long-term service agreements, within the Power segment, included the following, among others:

• We evaluated management’s risk assessment process through observation of key meetings, including inspection of

documentation, addressing contract status and current market conditions.

• We evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of management’s methods and key assumptions to develop cost estimates,

including expected timing and extent of future maintenance and outage services as well as the future cost of materials, labor and

other resources, all of which impact contract margin.

• We tested management’s utilization assumptions for timing and extent of future maintenance and overhaul services projected for

the contract term by comparing current estimates to historical information and forward-looking market conditions.

2024 FORM 10-K 50

• We tested management’s process for estimating the timing and amount of costs associated with maintenance, outage, and other

major events throughout the contract term, including comparing estimates to historical cost experience, performing a retrospective

review, performing analytical procedures, and utilizing specialists to evaluate engineering studies used by the Company to

estimate the useful life of capital parts of certain installed equipment.

Management’s Discussion of Financial Responsibility. Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated and

combined financial statements and related information that are presented in this report. The consolidated and combined financial

statements, which include amounts based on management’s estimates and judgments, have been prepared in conformity with U.S.

generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company designs and maintains accounting and internal control systems to provide reasonable assurance that assets are

safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that the financial records are reliable for preparing consolidated and

combined financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. These systems are enhanced by policies and procedures, an

organizational structure providing division of responsibilities, careful selection and training of qualified personnel, and a program of internal

audits.

The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors, meets periodically with management,

internal auditors, and our independent registered public accounting firm to ensure that each is meeting its responsibilities and to discuss

matters concerning internal controls and financial reporting. Deloitte and Touche LLP and the internal auditors each have full and free

access to the Audit Committee.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. This Annual Report does not include a report of

management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of our registered public accounting
