similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about the benefits GE Vernova Inc. (the

Company, GE Vernova, our, we, or us) expects from our lean operating model; our expectations regarding the energy transition; the

demand for our products and services; our expectations of future increased business, revenues, and operating results; our ability to

innovate and anticipate and address customer demands; our ability to increase production capacity, efficiencies, and quality; our

underwriting and risk management; the experiences we believe we are gaining across our Haliade-X backlog related to installation

spending; government policies that further or limit the global energy transition; our expected cash generation; our capital allocation

framework, including share repurchases and dividends; our restructuring programs and strategies to reduce operational costs; our ability to

novate or assign credit support provided by General Electric Company; disputes, litigation, arbitration, and governmental proceedings

involving us; the sufficiency and expected uses of our cash, liquidity, and financing arrangements; and our credit ratings.

Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations, are based on judgments and assumptions, are inherently uncertain and are

subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially

from current expectations. Some of the risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those

expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following:

  • Our ability to successfully execute our lean operating model;

  • Our ability to innovate and successfully identify and meet customer demands and needs;

  • Our ability to successfully compete;

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

essential to our business;

  • Significant disruptions to our manufacturing and production facilities and distribution networks;

  • Changes in government policies and priorities that reduce funding and demand for energy equipment and services;

  • Shifts in demand, market expectations, and other dynamics related to energy, electrification, decarbonization, and sustainability;

  • Global economic trends, competition, and geopolitical risks, including conflicts, trade policies, and other constraints on economic

activity;

  • Product quality issues or product or safety failures related to our complex and specialized products, solutions, and services;

  • Our ability to obtain required permits, licenses, and registrations;

  • Our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel;

  • Our ability to develop, deploy, and protect our intellectual property rights;

  • Our capital allocation plans, including the timing and amount of any dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions, organic

investments, and other priorities;

  • Our ability to successfully identify, complete, integrate, and obtain benefits from any acquisitions, joint ventures and other

investments;

  • The price, availability, and trading volumes of our common stock;

  • Downgrades of our credit ratings or ratings outlooks;

  • The amount and timing of our cash flows and earnings;

  • Our ability to meet our sustainability goals;

  • The impact from cybersecurity or data security incidents;

  • Changes in law, regulation, or policy that may affect our businesses and projects, or impose additional costs;

  • Natural disasters, weather conditions and events, public health events, or other emergencies;

  • Tax law and policy changes;

  • Adverse outcomes in legal, regulatory, and administrative proceedings, actions, and disputes; and

  • Other changes in macroeconomic and market conditions and volatility.

These or other uncertainties may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking

statements, and these and other factors are more fully discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including in Item 1A. "Risk

Factors" and Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," as may be updated from

time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings and as posted on our website at www.gevernova.com/investors/fls.

We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements except as may be required by law or regulation.
