処分活動。 2024年第2四半期に、私たちのスチームパワービジネスは、その一部の原子力事業を電力会社Electricité de France S.A.(EDF)に売却しました。この処分に関連して、私たちは6億ドルの純現金収益を受け取りましたが、これは通常の運転資本およびその他の決算後の調整の対象となります。その結果、私たちは、連結損益計算書のその他の収益(費用)-純額に記載された9億ドルの税前利益を認識しました。詳細については、連結された財務諸表の注釈3、15、16、19を参照してください。
Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gross profit was $1.1 billion and $1.1 billion for the three months ended and $4.0 billion and $3.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross margin was 12.4% and 12.7% for the three months ended and 16.3% and 13.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in gross profit for the quarter was due to an increase at Power due to Gas Power services from favorable volume, productivity, and price, which more than offset inflation; an increase at Electrification due to higher volume, price, and productivity at Grid Solutions; partially offset by a decrease at Wind, as a result of Offshore Wind incremental contract losses, partially offset by a gain recorded on the settlement of a previously canceled project and an increase in Onshore Wind through improved pricing. The increase in gross profit for the year was due to increases at Power and Electrification, due to the reasons described above, and at Wind, due to Onshore Wind through improved pricing and the impact of cost reduction activities, and a gain recorded on the settlement of a previously canceled project at Offshore Wind, partially offset by incremental contract losses at Offshore Wind.
Selling, General, and Administrative. Selling, general, and administrative costs were $1.2 billion and $1.1 billion for the three months ended and $3.4 billion and $3.6 billion for the nine months ended and comprised 13.8% and 13.8% of revenues for the three months ended and 13.8% and 15.5% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in costs for the quarter was attributable to labor inflation, higher corporate costs required to operate as a stand-alone public company, and separation costs, which more than offset cost reduction initiatives. The reduction in costs for the year was attributable to a $0.3 billion arbitration refund received in the second quarter of 2024, and cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by higher corporate costs required to operate as a stand-alone public company and separation costs.

2024 3Q FORM 10-Q 11
Restructuring Charges and Separation Costs. We continuously evaluate our cost structure and are implementing several restructuring and process transformation actions considered necessary to simplify our organizational structure. In addition, in connection with the Spin-Off, we incurred and will continue to incur certain one-time separation costs and recognized a benefit related to deferred intercompany profit upon GE retaining the renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments. See Note 23 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.
Interest and Other Financial Charges – Net. Interest and other financial charges – net was less than $0.1 billion and $0.1 billion in income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and less than $0.1 billion and $0.1 billion in expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The higher income in 2024 was primarily driven by a higher average balance of invested funds interest received from an arbitration refund during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The primary components of net interest and other financial charges are fees on cash management activities, interest on borrowings, and interest earned on cash balances and short-term investments.
Income Taxes. We recorded an income tax benefit on a pre-tax loss with an effective tax rate of 18.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a portion of the pre-tax loss providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions.
We recorded an income tax expense on pre-tax income with an effective tax rate of 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to losses providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions, partially offset by a pre-tax gain with an insignificant tax impact from the sale of a portion of Steam Power nuclear activities to EDF.
We recorded an income tax expense on a pre-tax loss in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to taxes in profitable jurisdictions and losses providing no tax benefit in other jurisdictions.
See Note 15 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY. Historically, we participated in cash pooling and other financing arrangements with GE to manage liquidity and fund our operations. As a result of completing the Spin-Off, we no longer participate in these arrangements and our Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are held and used solely for our own operations. Our capital structure, long-term commitments, and sources of liquidity have changed significantly from our historical practices. In connection with the Spin-Off, we received cash from GE of $0.8 billion through a cash contribution of $0.5 billion to fund future GE Vernova operations and a cash transfer of $0.3 billion restricted in connection with certain legal matters associated with legacy GE operations, such that our cash balance on the date of the completion of the Spin-Off was approximately $4.2 billion. As of September 30, 2024, our Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $7.4 billion, approximately $1.4 billion of which was held in countries where access to cash may be delayed due to various regulations (including $0.1 billion in Russia and Ukraine) and $0.5 billion was restricted use cash. During the third quarter of 2024, we received proceeds of $0.7 billion from the sale of a portion of our equity interest in GE Vernova T&D India Ltd (formerly known as GE T&D India Ltd). During the second quarter of 2024, our Steam Power business completed the sale of part of its nuclear activities to EDF. In connection with the disposition, we received net cash proceeds of $0.6 billion. During the second quarter of 2024, we also received a cash refund of $0.3 billion in connection with an arbitration proceeding. In addition, we have access to a $3.0 billion committed revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility). See “—Capital Resources and Liquidity—Debt” below for additional information. We believe our future cash flows generated from operations and committed credit facility will be responsive to the needs of our current and planned operations for at least the next 12 months.
Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows. The most significant source of cash flows from operations is customer-related activities, the largest of which is collecting cash resulting from equipment or services sales. The most significant operating uses of cash are to pay our suppliers, employees, tax authorities, and postretirement plans. We measure ourselves on a free cash flow* basis. We believe that free cash flow* provides management and investors with an important measure of our ability to generate cash on a normalized basis. Free cash flow* also provides insight into our ability to produce cash subsequent to fulfilling our capital obligations; however, free cash flow* does not delineate funds available for discretionary uses as it does not deduct the payments required for certain investing and financing activities.
We typically invest in property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) over multiple periods to support new product introductions and increases in manufacturing capacity and to perform ongoing maintenance of our manufacturing operations. We believe that while PP&E expenditures will fluctuate period to period, we will need to maintain a material level of net PP&E spend to maintain ongoing operations and growth of the business.

Cash from (used for) operating activities was $1.7 billion and $(0.7) billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cash from (used for) operating activities increased by $2.4 billion in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily driven by: higher net income (after adjusting for depreciation of PP&E, amortization of intangible assets, and (gains) losses on purchases and sales of business interests) of $1.3 billion, including the impact of a $0.3 billion cash refund we received in connection with an arbitration proceeding in the second quarter of 2024; an increase of $1.2 billion in accounts payable and equipment project payables, primarily due to lower disbursements, including reductions in prepayments; and an increase of $0.7 billion in contract liabilities and current deferred income, due to higher collections at Electrification and Power, and lower liquidations, including the settlement of a previously canceled project in 2024, at Wind; partially offset by a decrease in due to related parties of $(0.5) billion, primarily due to settlements of payables with GE prior to the Spin-Off in 2024.
Cash from operating activities of $1.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a $0.9 billion inflow from changes in working capital. The cash inflow from changes in working capital was primarily driven by: contract liabilities and current deferred income of $1.7 billion, driven by down payments and collections on several large projects in Grid Solutions at Electrification, and net collections at Power, partially offset by liquidations and the settlement of a previously canceled project at Wind; accounts payable and equipment project payables of $1.0 billion, due to material purchases outpacing disbursements, and reductions in prepayments; inventories of $(1.2) billion, primarily in Gas Power, to support fulfillment and deliveries expected in the fourth quarter of 2024 and in 2025; changes in due to related parties of $(0.4) billion, primarily due to settlements of payables with GE prior to the Spin-Off; and current contract assets of $(0.2) billion, driven by revenue recognition exceeding billings on our equipment and other service agreements in Electrification and Power.
Cash used for operating activities of $0.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included a less than $0.1 billion outflow from changes in working capital. The cash outflow from changes in working capital was primarily driven by: inventories of $(1.1) billion, primarily due to inventory build in Gas Power at Power; a decrease in accounts payable and equipment project payables of $(0.2) billion, driven by higher disbursements in Onshore Wind at Wind; contract liabilities and current deferred income of $1.0 billion as a result of project collections and down payments in Power and Electrification outpacing revenue recognition, partially offset by lower collections and higher revenue recognition in Wind; and current receivables of $0.2 billion, driven by collections outpacing billings primarily in Power and Wind.
Cash from (used for) investing activities was $0.1 billion and $(0.5) billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Cash from (used for) investing activities increased by $0.6 billion in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily driven by: net proceeds from principal business dispositions of $0.6 billion in the second quarter of 2024, as a result of our Steam Power business sale of part of its nuclear activities to EDF in our Power segment; and the nonrecurrence of the net impact of our acquisition of Nexus Controls and other investment sales of $0.2 billion in 2023; partially offset by a decrease in sales of and distributions from equity method investments of $(0.2) billion, primarily driven by our Financial Services business. Cash used for additions to PP&E and internal-use software, which is a component of free cash flow*, was $0.5 billion for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Cash from financing activities was $3.5 billion and $0.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash from financing activities increased by $2.8 billion in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily driven by: higher transfers from parent of $2.3 billion; and proceeds from the sale of an approximately 16% equity interest in GE Vernova T&D India Ltd, a power transmission and distribution solution provider, of $0.7 billion in the third quarter of 2024, which is reflected in All other financing activities. After the sale, we retained a controlling interest in GE Vernova T&D India Ltd.
Material Cash Requirements. In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts and commitments that oblige us to make payments in the future. Information regarding our obligations under lease and guarantee arrangements as well as our investment commitments is provided in Note 7 and Note 22 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as in Note 7 and Note 20 in the Notes to the audited combined financial statements included in the Information Statement. Additionally, we have material cash requirements related to our pension obligations as described in Note 13 to the audited combined financial statements included in the Information Statement.
Debt. As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $0.1 billion of total debt, excluding finance leases. We have a $3.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility to fund near-term intra-quarter working capital needs as they arise. In addition, we have a $3.0 billion committed trade finance facility (Trade Finance Facility, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Credit Facilities). The Trade Finance Facility has not been and is not expected to be utilized, and does not contribute to direct liquidity. We believe that our financing arrangements, future cash from operations, and access to capital markets will provide adequate resources to fund our future cash flow needs. For more information about these Credit Facilities, refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 2, 2024.
Credit Ratings and Conditions. GE historically relied on the debt capital markets to fund, among other things, a significant portion of its operations. We may continue to rely on capital markets in the future, and we have access to the Revolving Credit Facility to fund operations, as described above, to further support our liquidity needs. The cost and availability of any debt financing is influenced by our credit ratings and market conditions. Standard and Poor's Global Ratings (S&P) and Fitch Ratings (Fitch) have issued credit ratings for our Company. Our credit ratings as of the date of this filing are set forth in the following table.

We are disclosing our credit ratings to enhance understanding of our sources of liquidity and the effects of our ratings on our costs of funds and access to credit. Our ratings may be subject to a revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. For a description of some of the potential consequences of a reduction in our credit ratings, see the Risks Relating to Financial, Accounting, and Tax Matters section of Risk Factors in the Information Statement.
If GE Vernova is unable to maintain investment grade ratings, we could face significant challenges in being awarded new contracts, substantially increasing financing and hedging costs, and refinancing risks as well as substantially decreasing the availability of credit. The estimated liquidity impact in the event of a downgrade below investment grade was immaterial as of September 30, 2024.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk. We are exposed to market risk 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 trading activities. 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, the British pound sterling, the Brazilian real, and the Indian rupee. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations on earnings were less than $0.1 billion and $(0.1) billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The effects of foreign currency fluctuations on earnings were $(0.1) billion and $(0.2) billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. See Note 20 in the Notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements for further information. For more information about foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and commodity risk see the "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk" section of the Information Statement.
Parent Company Credit Support. To support GE Vernova in selling products and services globally, GE often entered into contracts on behalf of GE Vernova or issued parent company guarantees or trade finance instruments supporting the performance of its subsidiary legal entities transacting directly with customers, in addition to providing similar credit support for non-customer related activities of GE Vernova (collectively, the GE credit support). In connection with the Spin-Off, we are working to seek novation or assignment of GE credit support, the majority of which relates to parent company guarantees, associated with GE Vernova legal entities from GE to GE Vernova. For GE credit support that remained outstanding at the Spin-Off, GE Vernova is obligated to use reasonable best efforts to terminate or replace, and obtain a full release of GE’s obligations and liabilities under, all such credit support. Beginning in 2025, GE Vernova will pay a quarterly fee to GE based on amounts related to the GE credit support. GE Vernova will face other contractual restrictions and requirements while GE continues to be obligated under such credit support on behalf of GE Vernova. While GE will remain obligated under the contract or instrument, GE Vernova will be obligated to indemnify GE for credit support related payments that GE is required to make.
As of September 30, 2024, we estimated GE Vernova RPO and other obligations that relate to GE credit support to be approximately $21 billion, an over 60% reduction since year end and over 40% reduction since the Spin-Off, of which approximately $1 billion are financial guarantees. We expect approximately $12 billion of the RPO related to GE credit support obligations to contractually mature within five years from the date of the Spin-Off and credit support on financial guarantees to not exceed a year beyond separation. The underlying obligations are predominantly customer contracts that GE Vernova performs in the normal course of its business. We have no known instances historically where payments or performance from GE were required under parent company guarantees relating to GE Vernova customer contracts.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS. In November of 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments are intended to increase reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We have evaluated the impact of this guidance and do not expect a significant impact to our financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments require disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and further disaggregation of income taxes paid for individually significant jurisdictions. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the disclosures within our consolidated and combined financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES. To prepare our consolidated and combined financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, including our contingent liabilities, as of the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of our revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. We consider estimates to be critical (i) if we are required to make assumptions about material matters that are uncertain at the time of estimation or (ii) if materially different estimates could have been made or it is reasonably likely that the accounting estimate will change from period to period. Refer to the Critical Accounting Estimates and Note 2 to the audited combined financial statements included in the Information Statement for additional discussion of accounting policies and critical accounting estimates.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are supplemental measures of our performance and our liquidity that we believe help investors understand our financial condition and operating results and assess our future prospects. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measures, are important supplemental measures that exclude non-cash or other items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to our core operating results and the overall health of our company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors greater transparency to the information used by management for its operational decision-making and allow investors to see our results “through the eyes of management.” We further believe that providing this information assists our investors in understanding our operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance. When read in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as one basis for financial, operational, and planning decisions. Finally, these measures are often used by analysts and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry.
2024 3Q FORM 10-Q 14
Management recognizes that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes, thereby affecting their comparability from company to company. In order to compensate for these and the other limitations discussed below, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations below, and above with respect to free cash flow, and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. The reasons we use these non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures follow.
We believe the organic measures presented below provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency, which includes translational and transactional impacts, as these activities can obscure underlying trends.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA margin*, which are adjusted to exclude the effects of unique and/or non-cash items that are not closely associated with ongoing operations, provide management and investors with meaningful measures of our performance that increase the period-to-period comparability by highlighting the results from ongoing operations and the underlying profitability factors. We believe Adjusted organic EBITDA* and Adjusted organic EBITDA margin* provide management and investors with, when considered with Adjusted EBITDA* and Adjusted EBITDA margin*, a more complete understanding of underlying operating results and trends of established, ongoing operations by further excluding the effect of acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency, which includes translational and transactional impacts, as these activities can obscure underlying trends.
We believe these measures provide additional insight into how our businesses are performing on a normalized basis. However, Adjusted EBITDA*, Adjusted organic EBITDA*, Adjusted EBITDA margin* and Adjusted organic EBITDA margin* should not be construed as inferring that our future results will be unaffected by the items for which the measures adjust.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that (i) our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024, and (ii) no change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
Prior to April 2, 2024, GE Vernova relied on certain business processes and internal controls over financial reporting performed by GE. In connection with the Spin-Off, responsibility for these processes and internal controls were transferred from GE to GE Vernova personnel, including internal controls and processes related to information technology, treasury, human resources (including payroll and benefit plan administration), taxes, external financial reporting, legal, and oversight functions such as corporate governance. The Company has revised and adopted policies, procedures, and processes, as needed, to meet regulatory requirements applicable to a standalone public company and will continue to identify, document, and evaluate key controls to provide reasonable assurance that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. We are reporting the following matter in compliance with SEC requirements to disclose 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 associated with such order may be more than $300,000. Refer to Legal Matters in Note 22 to the consolidated and combined financial statements for additional information relating to legal matters.

2024 3Q FORM 10-Q 24
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization. On April 2, 2024 (the Distribution Date), General Electric Company, which now operates as GE Aerospace (GE or Parent) completed the previously announced spin-off (the Spin-Off) of GE Vernova (the Company, GE Vernova, our, we, or us). The Spin-Off was completed through a distribution of all the Company's outstanding common stock to holders of record of GE's common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2024 (the Distribution), which resulted in the issuance of approximately $274 million shares of common stock. As a result of the Distribution, the Company became an independent public company. Our common stock is listed under the symbol “GEV” on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with the Spin-Off, GE contributed cash of $515 million to GE Vernova to fund future operations and transferred restricted cash of $325 million to us such that the Company’s cash balance upon completion of the Spin-Off was approximately $4,200 million. See Note 22 for further information.
In connection with the Spin-Off, GE Vernova entered into several agreements with GE, including a separation and distribution agreement that sets forth certain agreements with GE regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Spin-Off, including the transfer of assets and assumption of liabilities, and establishes certain rights and obligations between the Company and GE, including procedures with respect to claims subject to indemnification and related matters. Other agreements we entered into that govern aspects of our relationship with GE following the Spin-Off include:
•Transition Services Agreement – governs all matters relating to the provision of services between the Company and GE on a transitional basis. The services the Company receives include support for digital technology, human resources, supply chain, finance, and real estate services, among others, that are generally intended to be provided for a period no longer than two years following the Spin-Off.
•Tax Matters Agreement – governs the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations between the Company and GE with respect to all tax matters (excluding employee-related taxes covered under the Employee Matters Agreement), in addition to certain restrictions which generally prohibit us from taking or failing to take any action in the two-year period following the Distribution that would prevent the Distribution from qualifying as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including limitations on our ability to pursue certain strategic transactions. The agreement specifies the portion of tax liability for which the Company will bear contractual responsibility, and the Company and GE will each agree to indemnify each other against any amounts for which such indemnified party is not responsible.
•Certain other agreements related to employee matters, trademark license, intellectual property, real estate matters, and framework investments.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the Company, GE Vernova, our, we, and us, refer to (i) GE’s renewable energy, power, and digital businesses prior to the Spin-Off and (ii) GE Vernova Inc. and its subsidiaries following the Spin-Off.
Basis of Presentation. For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the unaudited combined financial statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of GE, including the historical cost basis of assets and liabilities comprising the Company, as well as the historical revenues, direct costs, and allocations of indirect costs attributable to the operations of the Company, using the historical accounting policies applied by GE. The unaudited combined financial statements do not purport to reflect what the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, or cash flows would have been had the Company operated as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods prior to the Spin-Off.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information related to our significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited combined financial statements, corresponding footnotes, and significant accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2023, included 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). The information presented in tables throughout the footnotes is presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying numbers in millions.
All intercompany balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in the consolidated and combined financial statements. As described in Note 24, transactions between the Company and GE have been included in these consolidated and combined financial statements. Certain financing transactions with GE are deemed to have been settled immediately through Net parent investment in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position and are accounted for as a financing activity in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows as Transfers from (to) Parent.
For periods prior to the Spin-Off, the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position reflects all of the assets and liabilities of GE that are specifically identifiable as being directly attributable to the Company, including Net parent investment as a component of equity. Net parent investment represents GE’s historical investment in the Company and includes accumulated net income and losses attributable to the Company, and the net effect of transactions with GE and its subsidiaries.
2024 3Q FORM 10-Q 25
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Estimates and Assumptions. The preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates based on assumptions about current, and for some estimates, future, economic and market conditions which affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the consolidated and combined financial statements. We believe these assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances, and although our current estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, determining revenues from contracts with customers, recoverability of inventory, long-lived assets and investments, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, income taxes and related valuation allowances, accruals for contingencies including legal, indemnifications, product warranties, and environmental, actuarial assumptions used to determine costs of pension and postretirement benefits, valuation and recoverability of receivables, valuation of derivatives, and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of acquisitions.
Revenues from the Sale of Equipment. Sales of equipment includes the sales of gas turbines, wind turbines and repower units, and other power generation equipment related to energy production.
Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time. We recognize revenue on agreements for the sale of customized goods including power generation equipment and long-term construction contracts on an over-time basis as we customize the customer’s equipment during the manufacturing or integration process and obtain right to payment for work performed.
We recognize revenue as we perform under the arrangements using the percentage of completion method, which is based on our costs incurred to date relative to our estimate of total expected costs and the transaction price to which we expect to be entitled. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is expected that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Some of our contracts with customers for the sale of equipment contain clauses for the payment of liquidated damages related to milestones established for on-time delivery or meeting certain performance specifications. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the probability and magnitude of liquidated damages. This is factored into our estimate of variable consideration using the expected value method taking into consideration progress towards meeting contractual milestones, specified liquidated damages rates, if applicable, and history of paying liquidated damages to the customer or similar customers. Our estimate of costs to be incurred to fulfill our promise to a customer is based on our history of manufacturing or constructing similar assets for customers and is updated routinely to reflect changes in quantity or cost of the inputs. In certain projects, such as new product introductions, the underlying technology or promise to the customer is unique to what we have historically promised and reliably estimating the total cost to fulfill the promise to the customer requires a significant level of judgment. Where the profit from a contract cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is only recognized equaling the cost incurred to the extent that it is probable that the costs will be recovered. We provide for a potential loss on these agreements when it is expected that we will incur such loss.
During the third quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of changes in product and project cost estimates, we recorded incremental contract losses for certain Offshore Wind contracts of $676 million. Further changes in our execution timelines or other adverse developments could result in further losses beyond the amounts that we currently estimate.
Our billing terms for these over-time contracts are generally based on achieving specified milestones. The differences between the timing of our revenue recognized (based on costs incurred) and customer billings (based on contractual terms) results in changes to our contract asset or contract liability positions. See Note 9 for further information.
For further information on our significant accounting policies, please refer to the Information Statement.
NOTE 3. DISPOSITIONS AND BUSINESSES HELD FOR SALE. 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 $639 million, subject to customary working capital and other post-close adjustments. As a result, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $853 million (after-tax gain of $845 million), recorded in Other income (expense) – net in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). See Notes 15, 16 and 19 for further information.
The major components of assets and liabilities of the business held for sale in the Company’s Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position are summarized as follows:

We assess the possibility that a reporting unit’s fair value has been reduced below its carrying amount due to the occurrence of events or circumstances between annual impairment testing dates. In the third quarter of 2024, we did not identify any reporting units that required an interim impairment test.
Intangible assets. All intangible assets are subject to amortization. Intangible assets decreased $173 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily as a result of amortization. Amortization expense was $63 million and $58 million in the three months ended and $188 million and $181 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 9. CONTRACT AND OTHER DEFERRED ASSETS & CONTRACT LIABILITIES AND DEFERRED INCOME.
Contract assets reflect revenue recognized on contracts in excess of billings based on contractual terms. Contract liabilities primarily represent cash received from customers under ordinary commercial payment terms in advance of delivery of equipment orders or servicing of customers’ installed base.
Contract and other deferred assets increased $250 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to the timing of revenue recognition ahead of billing milestones on equipment and other service agreements. Contract liabilities and deferred income increased $1,860 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to new collections received in excess of revenue recognition at Power and Electrification, partially offset by revenue recognition and the settlement of a previously cancelled contract at Wind of $402 million. Net contractual service agreements decreased primarily due to billings of $3,673 million and net unfavorable changes in estimated profitability of $135 million, partially offset by revenues recognized of $3,710 million.
Revenue recognized related to the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of the year was approximately $7,761 million and $6,911 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligation. As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of the contracted revenues allocated to our unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations were $117,746 million. We expect to recognize revenue as we satisfy our remaining performance obligations as follows:
(1)Equipment-related remaining performance obligations of $42,069 million of which 46%, 70%, and 91% is expected to be recognized within 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively, and the remaining thereafter.
(2)Services-related remaining performance obligations of $75,678 million of which 17%, 52%, 78%, and 91% is expected to be recognized within 1, 5, 10, and 15 years, respectively, and the remaining thereafter.
Contract modifications could affect both the timing to complete as well as the amount to be received as we fulfill the related remaining performance obligations.
NOTE 10. CURRENT AND ALL OTHER ASSETS. All other current assets primarily include prepaid taxes and deferred charges, derivative instruments (see Note 20), and assets held for sale. All other current assets increased $198 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in assets held for sale. All other assets primarily include pension surplus, long-term receivables (see Note 4), taxes receivable, and prepaid taxes and deferred charges. All other assets increased $530 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to increases in long-term receivables and pension assets.

Defined Contribution Plan. Following the Spin-Off, GE Vernova now sponsors a defined contribution plan for its eligible U.S. employees that is similar to the corresponding GE-sponsored defined contribution plan that was in effect prior to the Spin-Off. Expenses associated with their participation in GE Vernova's plan beginning on April 2, 2024 and in GE's plan through April 1, 2024 and during 2023 represent the employer contributions for GE Vernova employees and were $29 million and $27 million for the three months ended and $110 million and $98 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
NOTE 14. CURRENT AND ALL OTHER LIABILITIES. All other current liabilities primarily include liabilities related to employee compensation and benefits, equipment projects and other commercial liabilities, product warranties (see Note 22), liabilities related to business disposition activities, and restructuring liabilities (see Note 23). All other current liabilities increased $973 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to liabilities related to business disposition activities, equipment projects and other commercial liabilities as a result of incremental contract losses at Wind, and increases in employee compensation and benefit liabilities. All other liabilities primarily include liabilities related to uncertain and other income taxes, product warranties (see Note 22), legal liabilities (see Note 22), asset retirement obligations (see Note 22), operating lease liabilities (see Note 7), equipment projects and other commercial liabilities, and indemnifications in connection with the Spin-Off (see Note 22). All other liabilities increased $268 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in indemnification liabilities.
NOTE 15. INCOME TAXES. The Company’s income tax provision through March 31, 2024 was prepared based on a separate return basis. Following the Spin-off, the Company's income tax provision is prepared on a stand-alone basis.
We recorded an income tax benefit on a pre-tax loss with an effective tax rate of 18.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a portion of the pre-tax loss providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions.
We recorded an income tax expense on pre-tax income with an effective tax rate of 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to losses providing no tax benefit in certain jurisdictions, partially offset by a pre-tax gain with an insignificant tax impact from the sale of a portion of Steam Power nuclear activities to EDF.
We recorded an income tax expense on a pre-tax loss in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to taxes in profitable jurisdictions and losses providing no tax benefit in other jurisdictions.
The Company's portion of income taxes for U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions prior to the separation were deemed settled at the date of the Spin-Off. We recognized $287 million of foreign deferred tax liabilities transferred from GE related to separation activities. Refer to Note 1 for further information relating to the Tax Matters Agreement.
The OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (Pillar 2) that has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 countries. During 2023, many countries took steps to incorporate Pillar 2 model rule concepts into their domestic laws. Although the model rules provide a framework for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact Pillar 2 slightly differently than the model rules and on different timelines and may adjust domestic tax incentives in response to Pillar 2. Accordingly, we continue to evaluate the potential consequences of Pillar 2 on our longer-term financial position. In 2024, we expect to incur insignificant tax expenses in connection with Pillar 2.

Common Stock. 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. On April 2, 2024, there were $274,085,523 shares of GE Vernova common stock outstanding. On September 30, 2024, there were $275,627,753 shares of GE Vernova common stock outstanding.
NOTE 17. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION. We grant stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance share units (PSUs) to employees under the 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors approves grants under the LTIP. Under the LTIP, we are authorized to issue up to approximately 25 million shares. We record compensation expense for awards expected to vest over the vesting period. We estimate forfeitures based on experience and adjust expense to reflect actual forfeitures. When options are exercised, RSUs vest, and PSUs are earned, we issue shares from authorized unissued common stock.
Stock options provide awardees the opportunity to purchase shares of GE Vernova common stock in the future at the market price of our common stock on the date the award is granted (the strike price). The options become exercisable over the vesting period, typically becoming fully vested in either 3 or 4 years from the date of grant, and generally expire 10 years from the grant date if not exercised. RSUs entitle the awardee to receive shares of GE Vernova common stock upon vesting. PSUs entitle an awardee to receive shares of GE Vernova common stock upon certification by the Company's Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the level of performance achievement of the applicable performance metrics over a defined performance period. We value stock options using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, RSUs using the market price of our common stock on the grant date, and PSUs using the market price of our common stock on the grant date and a Monte Carlo simulation as needed based on performance metrics.
The following tables provide the weighted average fair value of options, RSUs, and PSUs granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the related stock option valuation assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model.

For new awards granted in 2024, the expected volatility was derived from a peer group’s blended historical and implied volatility as GE Vernova does not have sufficient historical volatility based on the expected term of the underlying options. The expected term of the stock options was determined using the simplified method. The risk-free interest rate was determined using the implied yield currently available for zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term approximating the expected life of the options.

(a) 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 shares outstanding as of April 2, 2024 pertain to GE equity-based awards issued by GE in prior periods to employees of the Company that were converted to GE Vernova equity-based awards as part of the Spin-Off. The conversion to GE Vernova awards was considered a modification of the original award. Incremental fair value recognized was immaterial.
Total outstanding PSUs as of September 30, 2024 were 1,080 thousand shares with a weighted average fair value of $120.33. The intrinsic value, and weighted average vesting period of PSUs outstanding were $275 million and 1.8 years, respectively.
Share-based compensation expense is recognized within Cost of equipment, Cost of services, Selling, general, and administrative expenses, and Research and development expenses, as appropriate, in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). Pre-tax share based compensation expense since the Spin-Off for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $104 million.

NOTE 18. EARNINGS PER SHARE INFORMATION. On April 2, 2024, there were approximately $274 million shares of GE Vernova common stock outstanding. The computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for all periods through April 1, 2024 was calculated using $274 million common shares and is net of Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests. For periods prior to the Spin-Off, there were no dilutive equity instruments as there were no equity awards of GE Vernova outstanding prior to the Spin-Off. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, and performance share units is reflected in the denominator for diluted EPS using the treasury stock method.

NOTE 20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Loans and Other Receivables. The Company’s financial assets not carried at fair value primarily consist of loan receivables and non-current customer and other receivables. The net carrying amount was $265 million and $328 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The estimated fair value was $265 million and $324 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. All of these assets are considered to be Level 3.
Derivatives and Hedging. Our primary objective in executing and holding derivatives is to reduce the earnings and cash flow volatility associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices over the terms of our customer contracts. These hedge contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price movements. The Company does not enter into or hold derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.
We use foreign currency contracts to reduce the volatility of cash flows related to forecasted revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities. These contracts are generally one to ten months in duration but with maximum remaining maturities of up to 15 years as of September 30, 2024.
Cash Flow Hedges. The total amount in AOCI related to cash flow hedges was a net $57 million gain as of September 30, 2024, of which a net gain of $35 million related to our share of AOCI recognized at our non-consolidated joint ventures. We expect to reclassify $61 million of pre-tax net losses associated with designated cash flow hedges to earnings in the next 12 months, contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. The Company reclassified net gains (losses) from AOCI into earnings of $2 million and $(19) million for the three months ended and $(20) million and $(30) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the maximum length of time over which we are hedging forecasted transactions was approximately 11 years.
Net Investment Hedges. We enter into foreign exchange forwards designated as the hedging instruments in net investment hedging relationships in order to mitigate the foreign currency risk attributable to the translation of the Company’s net investment in certain non USD-functional subsidiaries and equity method investees. The total amount in AOCI related to net investment hedges was a net gain of $29 million as of September 30, 2024.

The amount excluded for cash flow hedges was a gain (loss) of $1 million and $1 million for the three months ended and $12 million and $(8) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This amount is recognized in Sales of equipment, Sales of services, Cost of equipment, and Cost of services in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss).
NOTE 21. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES. In our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position, we have assets of $70 million and $122 million and liabilities of $127 million and $156 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, from consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs). These entities were created to help our customers facilitate or finance the purchase of GE Vernova equipment and services, and to manage our insurance exposure through an insurance captive, and have no features that could expose us to losses that would significantly exceed the difference between the consolidated assets and liabilities.
Our investments in unconsolidated VIEs were $115 million and $1,323 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Of these investments, $59 million and $1,272 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, were owned by our Financial Services business. At December 31, 2023, these investments were substantially all related to renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments that were subsequently retained by GE in connection with the Spin-Off. See Note 11 for further information. Our maximum exposure to loss in respect of unconsolidated VIEs is increased by our commitments to make additional investments in these entities described in Note 22.
NOTE 22. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES, PRODUCT WARRANTIES, AND OTHER LOSS CONTINGENCIES
Commitments. We had total investment commitments of $71 million and unfunded lending commitments of $108 million at September 30, 2024. The commitments primarily consist of obligations to make investments or provide funding by our Financial Services and Gas Power businesses. See Note 21 for further information.
Guarantees. As of September 30, 2024, we were committed under the following guarantee arrangements:
Credit support. We have provided $654 million of credit support on behalf of certain customers or associated companies, predominantly joint ventures and partnerships, using arrangements such as standby letters of credit and performance guarantees, and a line of credit to support our consolidated subsidiaries. The liability for such credit support was $6 million. In addition, prior to the Spin-Off, GE provided parent company guarantees to GE Vernova in certain jurisdictions. See Note 24 for further information.
Indemnification agreements. We have $755 million of indemnification commitments, including obligations arising from the Spin-Off, our commercial contracts, and agreements governing the sale of business assets, for which we recorded a liability of $555 million. The liability is primarily associated with cash and deposits, of which $325 million relates to cash transferred to the Company from GE as part of the Spin-Off that is restricted in connection with certain legal matters related to legacy GE operations. The liability reflects the use of these funds to settle any associated obligations and the return of any remaining cash to GE in a future reporting period once resolved. In addition, the liability includes $151 million of indemnifications in connection with agreements entered into with GE related to the Spin-Off, including the Tax Matters Agreement.
Product Warranties. We provide for estimated product warranty expenses when we sell the related products. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, mostly historical claims experience, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. The liability for product warranties was $1,342 million and $1,414 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
2024 3Q FORM 10-Q 35
Legal Matters. In the normal course of our business, we are involved from time to time in various arbitrations, class actions, commercial litigation, investigations, and other legal, regulatory, or governmental actions, including the significant matters described below that could have a material impact on our results of operations. In many proceedings, including the specific matters described below, it is inherently difficult to determine whether any loss is probable or even reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss, and accruals for legal matters are not recorded until a loss for a particular matter is considered probable and reasonably estimable. Given the nature of legal matters and the complexities involved, it is often difficult to predict and determine a meaningful estimate of loss or range of loss until we know, among other factors, the particular claims involved, the likelihood of success of our defenses to those claims, the damages or other relief sought, how discovery or other procedural considerations will affect the outcome, the settlement posture of other parties, and other factors that may have a material effect on the outcome. For these matters, unless otherwise specified, we do not believe it is possible to provide a meaningful estimate of loss at this time. Moreover, it is not uncommon for legal matters to be resolved over many years, during which time relevant developments and new information must be continuously evaluated.
Alstom Legacy Legal Matters. In November 2015, we acquired the power and grid businesses of Alstom, which prior to the acquisition was the subject of significant cases involving anti-competitive activities and improper payments. The estimated liability balance was $327 million and $393 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, for legal and compliance matters related to the legacy business practices that were the subject of cases in various jurisdictions. Allegations in these cases relate to claimed anti-competitive conduct or improper payments in the pre-acquisition period as the source of legal violations or damages. Given the significant litigation and compliance activity related to these matters and our ongoing efforts to resolve them, it is difficult to assess whether the disbursements will ultimately be consistent with the estimated liability established. The estimation of this liability may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes inherent in litigation and investigations of this nature, and at this time we are unable to develop a meaningful estimate of the range of reasonably possible additional losses beyond the amount of this estimated liability. Factors that can affect the ultimate amount of losses associated with these and related matters include formulas for determining disgorgement, fines and/or penalties, the duration and amount of legal and investigative resources applied, political and social influences within each jurisdiction, and tax consequences of any settlements or previous deductions, among other considerations. Actual losses arising from claims in these and related matters could exceed the amount provided.
In June 2024, we executed a settlement agreement with the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by The Ministry of Energy (MOE) in connection with certain Alstom steam power construction projects with Saudi Electric Company (SE) won between 1998 and 2008. In November 2015, prior to its acquisition by GE, Alstom had paid a fine and pled guilty to charges brought by the U.S. Department of Justice under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, including in relation to conduct related to two of these SE steam power projects. In December 2015, following the acquisition of Alstom by GE, SE contacted GE seeking recompense for alleged reputational damage and in December 2021, the Saudi Arabia National Anti-Corruption Commission became involved and initiated an investigation. The settlement of approximately $267 million consists of $141 million in cash payments to the MOE and the remainder as a credit note to SE, and releases GE Vernova, GE and their respective affiliates from civil and criminal liabilities related to this matter after the settlement obligations are met. Approximately $62 million of the cash settlement was paid in the second quarter and the remainder will be payable through September 2026.
Environmental and Asset Retirement Obligations. Our operations involve the use, disposal, and cleanup of substances regulated under environmental protection laws and nuclear decommissioning regulations. We have obligations for ongoing and future environmental remediation activities and may incur additional liabilities in connection with previously remediated sites. Additionally, like many other industrial companies, we and our subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits related to alleged worker exposure to asbestos or other hazardous materials. Liabilities for environmental remediation, nuclear decommissioning, and worker exposure claims exclude possible insurance recoveries.
It is reasonably possible that our exposure will exceed amounts accrued. However, due to uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology, and information related to individual sites and lawsuits, such amounts are not reasonably estimable. Our reserves related to environmental remediation and worker exposure claims recorded in All other liabilities were $138 million and $127 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
We record asset retirement obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets as a liability in the period in which the obligation is incurred and its fair value can be reasonably estimated. These obligations primarily represent nuclear decommissioning, legal obligations to return leased premises to their initial state, or dismantle and repair specific alterations for certain leased sites. The liability is measured at the present value of the obligation when incurred and is adjusted in subsequent periods. Corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying value of the related long-lived assets and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. Our asset retirement obligations were $622 million and $581 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are recorded in All other current liabilities and All other liabilities in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position. Of these amounts, $544 million and $519 million were related to nuclear decommissioning obligations. Changes in the liability balance due to settlement, accretion, and revisions in fair value were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

In addition to the continued impacts of ongoing initiatives, restructuring primarily included exit activities associated with previously announced plans across our Wind businesses, primarily reflecting the selectivity strategy to operate in fewer markets and to simplify and standardize product variants. The estimated cost of this multi-year restructuring program was approximately $600 million, with the majority recognized in 2023. This plan was expanded during the third quarter of 2023 to include the consolidation of the global footprint and related resources at our Power businesses to better serve our customers. In the third quarter of 2024, in order to transform and optimize our global footprint, we announced the restructuring of our Hydro Power business, as a result we recognized $146 million of charges, which primarily relates to a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of property, plant and equipment. See Note 6 for further information.
Separation Costs. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company recognized separation costs (benefits) of $27 million and $(64) million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). Separation costs (benefits) include system implementations, advisory fees, one-time stock option grant, and other one-time costs, which are primarily recorded in Selling, general, and administrative costs. In addition, in connection with GE retaining certain renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments as part of the Spin-Off, the Company recognized a $136 million benefit in the second quarter related to deferred intercompany profit from historical equipment sales to the related investees, recorded in Cost of equipment. See Note 11 for further information.
NOTE 24. RELATED PARTIES
Aero Alliance. Aero Alliance is our joint venture with Baker Hughes Company that supports our customers through the fulfillment of aeroderivative engines, spare parts, repairs, and maintenance services. Purchases of parts and services from the joint venture were $131 million and $108 million for the three months ended and $494 million and $382 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company owed Aero Alliance $58 million and $34 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. These amounts have been recorded in Due to related parties on the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Financial Position.
Financial Services Investments. Our Financial Services business invests in project infrastructure entities where we do not hold a controlling financial interest. These entities generally purchase equipment from our Wind and Power segments, and we have recognized revenues of $34 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $4 million and $176 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for sales to these entities. Revenues for sales to these entities for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were not significant as GE retained the renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments. See Note 11 for further information.
Corporate Allocations. Prior to the Spin-Off, GE historically provided the Company with significant corporate, infrastructure, and shared services. Some of these services continue to be provided by GE to the Company on a temporary basis following the Spin-Off under the Transition Services Agreement. Accordingly, for periods prior to the Spin-Off, certain GE corporate costs have been charged to the Company based on allocation methodologies as follows:
2024 3Q FORM 10-Q 37
a.Centralized services such as public relations, investor relations, treasury and cash management, executive management, security, government relations, community outreach, and corporate internal audit services were charged to the Company on a pro rata basis of GE’s estimates of each business’s usage at the beginning of the fiscal year and were recorded in Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Costs of $14 million and $52 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, were recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). Costs allocated to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were not significant as GE Vernova had established standalone capabilities for such services.
b.Information technology, finance, insurance, research, supply chain, human resources, tax, and facilities activities were charged to the Company based on headcount, revenue, or other allocation methodologies. Costs for these services of $175 million and $539 million were charged to the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Costs for these services of $100 million were charged to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Such costs are primarily included in Selling, general, and administrative expenses and Research and development expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss).
c.Costs associated with employee medical insurance totaling $33 million and $92 million were charged for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Costs associated with employee medical insurance totaling $30 million were charged to the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Costs were charged to the Company based on employee headcount and are recorded in Cost of equipment, Cost of services, Selling, general, and administrative expenses, or Research and development expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss) based on the employee population.
Additionally, GE granted various employee benefits to its employees, including prior to the Spin-Off to those of the Company, under the GE Long-Term Incentive Plan. These benefits primarily included stock options and restricted stock units. Compensation expense associated with this plan was $29 million and $88 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Compensation expense associated with this plan was $34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Such expense is included primarily in Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). These costs were charged directly to the Company based on the specific employees receiving awards.
Finally, while GE’s third-party debt had not been attributed to the Company, GE allocated a portion of interest expense related to its third-party debt for funding provided by GE to the Company for certain investments held by Financial Services. The interest was allocated based on the GE-funded ending net investment position each reporting period. Interest allocated was $9 million and $28 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Interest allocated was $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Such expense is included in Interest and other financial charges – net in the Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss).
Management believes that the expense and cost allocations were determined on a basis that is a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Company. The amounts that would have been, or will be incurred, on a stand-alone basis could materially differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, difference in management judgment, a requirement for more or fewer employees, or other factors. Management does not believe, however, that it is practicable to estimate what these expenses would have been had the Company operated as an independent entity, including any expenses associated with obtaining any of these services from unaffiliated entities. In addition, the future results of operations, financial position, and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein.
Parent Company Credit Support. GE provided the Company with parent credit support in certain jurisdictions. To support the Company in selling products and services globally, GE often entered into contracts on behalf of GE Vernova or issued parent company guarantees or trade finance instruments supporting the performance of what were subsidiary legal entities transacting directly with customers, in addition to providing similar credit support for some non-customer related activities of GE Vernova. There are no known instances historically where payments or performance from GE were required under parent company guarantees relating to GE Vernova customer contracts.
Transfer of Tax Credits to GE. Under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which went into effect in 2023, we generate advanced manufacturing credits in our Wind business. These credits are transferable and are not reliant on a tax liability to be realized. We recognized advance manufacturing credits of $91 million and $82 million for the three months ended and $165 million and $174 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. During the first quarter of 2024, we received cash of $249 million from GE for credits generated since the credits became available in 2023.
