ABB

INTERIM

REPORT

2022

In the first quarter

we witnessed the start of

the war in Ukraine

– a human tragedy

– and consequently one

of our key priorities

was to ensure the safety

and wellbeing of our people.

In an

effort to support

the people of Ukraine, we

have made a

significant donation

to the International Committee

of the Red

Cross. Prior to suspending

the intake of any new orders

Russia it represented

only 1-2% of ABB revenues.

Customer activity was

strong throughout the

quarter, resulting

in the very high order

growth of 21% year

-on-year

(28% comparable).

Most major customer segments

and regions

developed favorably and

three out of four business

areas

reported high double

-digit growth. Notably,

the high order intake

was driven by high

general customer activity

and not by large

orders, and includes

a de-booking of approximately

$190 million

in Process Automation.

We saw an increase

in revenues which improved

by 1%

(7% comparable),

supported by a positive

development in all

business areas except

for Robotics & Discrete

Automation, which

was hampered by component

shortages. The order

backlog

increased to $18.9 billion at

the end of the period, up by

28%

year-on-year (32%

comparable). The zero-Covid

strategy in

China had no material

impact on our ability to fulfill

customer

deliveries in the

first quarter.

That said, we are monitoring

the

situation and although

difficult to quantify,

we do not rule out

somewhat of an

adverse near-term impact

on operations due to

the local lock-downs.

In total,

we achieved an Operational

EBITA margin of

14.3%.

Due to the support

from higher volumes

and successful pricing

activities we managed

to offset the adverse

impacts from cost

inflation,

primarily related to

raw materials, certain components,

logistics and tight labor

markets. In addition, the

result was

supported by low costs

in Corporate & Other.

As a reminder,

last year’s Operational

EBITA margin

of 13.8%, was positively

impacted by 30 basis

points from the recently

divested

Mechanical Power

Transmission business.

Looking at the

underlying operations,

I am pleased that we

were able to

slightly improve the

Operational EBITA

margin in the current

environment of inflation

and strained value chain.

This reflects

that our hard work

towards increased accountability,

transparency and speed

is yielding results.

Cash flow from operating

activities, amounted to

-$573 million.

As expected, it declined

compared with last year,

but the drop was sharper

than anticipated due

primarily to a

higher-than-expected

build-up of net working capital

to support

deliveries from the

order backlog.

Cash delivery will clearly

in focus going forward

and I expect a solid full

-year cash flow.

We made overall

good progress towards our 2030

sustainability

goals in 2021, as publicized

in our Sustainability Report

in March.

As an example, we

reduced our own CO2e

emissions by 39%, from

the 2019 baseline.

Additionally,

our products, services and

solutions sold last year

will enable our customers

to reduce their

CO2e emissions by

11.5 megatons

after the first year,

which is a

good start towards

our target of more than

100 megatons by 2030.

We made progress

with the portfolio activities.

We plan for an

exit of the Turbocharging

business, although the

geo-political

uncertainties caused

us to delay the final decision

on a spin-off

or sale to the second

quarter. Prepar

ing for the separation, we

launched the new company

name and brand – Accelleron.

For

the E-mobility business

our plan for a separate

listing during

the second quarter

remains

intact,

assuming constructive

market conditions.

I look forward to

the impacts of the leadership

exchange in

Electrification and Motion.

I have great confidence

in both Tarak

and Morten and expect

them to continue to improve

operational

performance for both

growth and profitability.

The change was

effective as of April

Finally,

I am pleased we announced

a continuation of share

buybacks of up to $3

billion, including the fulfillment

of the

promise to return the

remaining $1.2 billion

of proceeds related

to the divestment of

Power Grids. This new buyback

program

was launched on

April 1.

Björn Rosengren

CEO

In the

second quarter of 2022

, ABB anticipates the underlying

market activity to remain

broadly similar compared

with the prior

quarter.

Revenues in the second

quarter tend to be sequentially

stronger in absolute

terms, supporting a slight

sequential

margin increase,

assuming no escalation

of lock-downs in

China.

In full-year 2022

, we expect a steady margin

improvement

towards the 2023 target

of at least 15%, supported

increased efficiency

as we fully incorporate the

decentralized

operating model and performance

culture in all our divisions.

Furthermore, we expect

support from an anticipated

positive

market momentum

and our strong order backlog.

CEO summary

Outlook

ABB

INTERIM

REPORT

2022

Business momentum

in the first quarter was very

strong,

supported by most

major customer segments.

This generated a

strong positive order

development in all business

areas, despite

a smaller contribution

from large orders compared

with the prior

year and the order

de-booking to the amount

of $190 million in

the European region.

There were no unusual order

cancellations. Service-related

orders increased by

10%

(15%

comparable). In total, order

intake improved by

21% (28% comparable)

to $9,373 million, the highest

quarterly

level in recent years.

The positive development

was very strong in the segments

machine building,

food & beverage and

in general industries

well as in the automotive

segment due to broadly

accelerating

investments in the

EV segment.

In transport and infrastructure,

there was a very strong

order

development across

the renewables and e-mobility

business.

The buildings segment

improved in both the residential

and

non-residential segments.

In the marine segment a

positive

development was noted

for cruising as well as general

marine &

port demand. The process

-related business improved

across

the customer segments,

except for a stable

development in

power generation.

From a geographical

perspective, orders

increased by more

than 20% in all three

regions,

on a comparable basis.

Orders in

Europe increased by

14% (24% comparable).

Americas

improved by 29% (40%

comparable), supported by

a stellar

33% (46% comparable)

growth in the United States.

In Asia,

Middle East and

Africa orders increased by

22% (24%

comparable), with China

outperforming the region as

whole as it improved by

28% (26% comparable).

Compared with the

fourth quarter,

the level of component

constraints remained

broadly similar and as expected,

except

for a somewhat worse

than anticipated development

Robotics & Discrete

Automation where customer

deliveries

were delayed due to semiconductor

shortages. The sharp

revenue decline in

Robotics & Discrete Automation

was

however more than

offset by strong comparable

improvements

in the other business

areas. ABB Group revenues

increased by

1% (7% comparable)

$6,965 million, supported

by both volume growth and

good

pricing execution, but

adversely impacted by changed

exchange rates.

2022

Gross profit

Gross margin decreased

to 32.7%, a slight decline

20 basis points year

-on-year,

primarily due to the divestment

Mechanical Power

Transmission, but

to some extent also to

decline in Robotics

& Discrete Automation.

Gross profit improved

slightly by 1% to $2,

281 million.

Income from operations

amounted to $857 million,

improving by

$60 million,

or 8%. The improvement

was mainly driven by

operational performance,

lower restructuring charges

and changes

in obligations related

to divested businesses,

which more than

offset increased

acquisition-

and divestment-related

costs.

Operational

EBITA

Operational EBITA

of $997 million

was 4% higher (8% constant

currency) year-on-year,

with the increased profit

in Process

Automation as the main

driver. Profitability

in both Motion and

Process Automation

improved, while it declined

in Electrification

and Robotics & Discrete

Automation.

The Operational

EBITA margin

increased by 50

basis points to

14.3%, supported by higher

profitability in operations and

improved

Operational EBITA

in Corporate and

Other, which was

up by $69

million to -$32 million

Last year’s Operational EBITA

margin for the

first quarter was 13.8%,

positively impacted by 30

basis points from

the divested Mechanical

Power Transmission

business.

Earnings were positively

impacted by higher volumes

and

successful pricing activities,

which combined more than

offset the

adverse effects

from cost inflation primarily

related to raw materials,

certain components,

logistics and tight labor

market. Selling,

general and administrative

(SG&A) expenses decreased

slightly by

2% (up 2% in constant

currency),

the combined impact

from

increased sales cost

to support the high demand

environment and

a decrease in General

& Administrative expenses.

Net finance expenses

declined to $9 million

from $44 million,

primarily reflecting

lower foreign exchange

losses and lower

interest charges on

borrowings as well as a

reduction in certain

income tax-related

risks.

Income tax

Income tax expense

was $241 million with an effective

tax rate of

27.3%, including $61

million in negative tax impacts

related to the

separation of E-mobility

and Turbocharging businesses.

Net income and earnings

per share

Net income attributable

to ABB was $604 million and

increased 20%

from last year,

mainly due to increased

earnings in continuing

operations and lower

net finance expenses.

Consequently,

basic

earnings per share was

$0.31,

and increased from $0.25,

year-on-

year.

Earnings

ABB

INTERIM

REPORT

2022

Net working capital

amounted to $3,461 million,

increasing

both year-on-year from

$2,904 million and sequentially

from

$2,303 million.

The sequential increase

was driven primarily

by inventories to support

future deliveries to

the strong

market demand, as

well as receivables.

Net working capital

as a percentage of

revenues

was 12.1%.

Capital expenditures

Purchases of property,

plant and equipment and

intangible

assets amounted to

$187 million, somewhat higher

than

expected driven

mainly by Electrification and

Motion.

Net debt

amounted to $2,772 million

at the end of the

quarter,

and increased from $1,233

million, year-on-year.

Sequentially,

the net cash position

of $98 million changed

to a

net debt position, as

increased debt more than

offset

increased Cash & equivalents

including paid dividend.

Cash flows

Cash flow from operating

activities in continuing operations

was -$564 million and

declined year-on-year from

$523 million. The

quarterly year-on-year decline

was driven

by a higher build-up

of trade net working capital,

mainly

related to inventories

to support future deliveries

on the high

order intake as well

as receivables, but also by

higher pay-

out of incentives due

to the strong financial

performance in

2021. It also reflects

approximately $170 million

of cash

paid for income taxes relating

to the E-mobility and

Turbocharging separations

ABB expects a solid cash

flow

delivery in 2022.

Share buyback program

ABB launched a new

share buyback program

of up to $3 billion

on April 1. As part of

this program, ABB intends

to return to its

shareholders the remaining

$1.2 billion of the $7.8

were somewhat lower than

anticipated.

Profit

All divisions reported

double-digit Operational EBITA

margin

with both earnings

and profitability improvements

noted in

most divisions,

year-on-year. In

total, the business area’s

Operational EBITA

increased by 26

%, to $196 million, and

the Operational EBITA

margin improved

to 13.0% from

11.0%.

●

The earnings and margin

increases

were driven by higher

volumes and efficiency

measures,

which more than offset

cost inflation mainly

in freight and a slight negative

divisional mix.

●

Impacts on profitability

from component shortages

were

limited in the period, although

may increase as the year

progresses.

Orders and revenues

Order intake reached

the highest quarterly level

for several

years and amounted

to $1,308 million, up by 56%

(60%

comparable), year-on-year.

Revenues on the other hand

declined by 14% (12%

comparable) to $730

million, materially

hampered by component

shortages. Consequently,

order

backlog increased to

the high level of $2.5

billion, and although

the supply chain

is expected to remain strained,

the first quarter

should have marked

the low point for Robotics

& Discrete

Automation.

●

The steep order

growth was driven by very

strong momentum

in both Robotics and

Machine Automation with

contribution

from a strong base

business as well as from large

orders in

Robotics.

All customer segments

increased at a double-digit

growth rate,

with particularly strong momentum

in automotive

– driven by EV investments

in China, general industry

and

machine builders.

●

All major regions benefited

from a very strong order

momentum. Europe

increased by 40% (49% comparable)

and the Americas close

to doubled at 89%

(89%

comparable). Asia,

Middle East and Africa improved

by 67%

(66% comparable)

with China growth reported

at 96% (93%

comparable).

●

Revenues in both divisions

were adversely impacted by

delayed customer deliveries

due to component shortages,

primarily related

to semi-conductors. The supply

situation

deteriorated somewhat

sequentially.

Despite the protracted

delivery times, there

were no cancellations.

The COVID-

related lock-downs

in China had no significant

impact in the

first quarter,

but some effects on

the business area’s

operations are anticipated

in the second quarter

on the

Shanghai manufacturing

site.

Profit

Both profit and profitability

declined year-on-year due

to the

low volumes and cost

inflation linked to the

tight supply

chain. Operational

EBITA declined

by 53% with a margin

deterioration of 570

basis points.

●

In total, the decline

in volumes

triggered underabsorption

of fixed costs,

which combined with

cost inflation related

to freight and input

costs more than offset

the contribution

from cost measures and

positive price execution,

year-

on-year.

Quarterly highlights

●

ABB adopted the

United Nations (UN) Women’s

Empowerment Principles

to promote gender equality

and

women’s empowerment

in the workplace, marketplace

and

community.

As part of further promoting

an inclusive

culture,

more than 7,500 senior

managers at ABB have

taken part in unconscious

bias training.

●

ABB released its

Sustainability Report 2021, outlining

the

achievements of

the company under the

four pillars of its

ambitious 2030 sustainability

strategy.

Notably,

ABB made

strong progress on

its way towards reaching carbon

neutrality in its own

operations by 2030 as it

reduced its

CO2 emissions by

39 percent in 2021 vs. 2019.

●

ABB has entered into

an agreement with

leading global

transport solutions

provider, Scania,

to provide a

comprehensive range

of robotic solutions for

Scania’s new

capable of generating

3 megawatts (4,000

HP) of electrical power.

The aim is to

make zero-emission

hydrogen fuel cell technology

commercially available

for larger ships.

Story of the quarter

ABB published the

findings of a new global

study of

international business

and technology leaders

on industrial

transformation, looking

at the intersection of digitalization

and sustainability.

The study,

“Billions of better decisions:

industrial transformation’s

new imperative,” examines

the

current take-up of the

Industrial Internet of Things

(IoT) and

its potential for improving

energy efficiency,

lowering

greenhouse gas

emissions and driving change.

With more

than 70 percent of ABB’s

R&D resources dedicated

digital and software

innovations, and a robust

ecosystem of

digital partners, including

Microsoft, IBM and

Ericsson, the

company has established

a leading presence in

Industrial

IoT.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited)

─

Note 1

The Company and basis of presentation

ABB Ltd and its subsidiaries (collectively,

the Company) together form a leading global technology

company, connecting software

to its electrification, robotics,

automation and motion portfolio to drive performance to new

levels.

The Company’s Consolidated Financial Information is prepared

in accordance with United States of America generally accepted

accounting principles (U.S.

GAAP) for interim financial reporting. As such, the Consolidated

Financial Information does not include all the

information and notes required under U.S. GAAP

for

annual consolidated financial statements. Therefore, such financial

information should be read in conjunction with the audited

consolidated financial statements in

the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December

31, 2021.

The preparation of financial information in conformity with U.S. GAAP

requires management to make assumptions

and estimates that directly affect the amounts

reported in the Consolidated Financial Information. These accounting

assumptions and estimates include:

●

growth rates, discount rates and other assumptions used to determine

impairment of long-lived assets and in testing goodwill

for impairment,

●

estimates to determine valuation allowances for deferred tax assets

and amounts recorded for unrecognized tax benefits,

●

assumptions used in determining inventory obsolescence and net

realizable value,

●

estimates and assumptions used in determining the initial fair value

of retained noncontrolling interest and certain obligations

in connection with

divestments,

●

estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair values

of assets and liabilities assumed in business

combinations,

●

estimates of loss contingencies associated with litigation or

threatened litigation and other claims and inquiries, environmental

damages, product

warranties, self-insurance reserves, regulatory and other proceedings,

●

estimates used to record expected costs for employee severance

in connection with restructuring programs,

●

estimates related to credit losses expected to occur over

the remaining life of financial assets such as trade and other

receivables, loans and other

instruments,

●

assumptions used in the calculation of pension and postretirement

benefits and the fair value of pension plan assets, and

●

assumptions and projections, principally related to future material,

labor and project-related overhead costs, used in determining the

percentage-of-

completion on projects, as well as the amount of variable consideration

the Company expects to be entitled to.

The actual results and outcomes may differ from the Company’s

estimates and assumptions.

A portion of the Company’s activities (primarily long-term

construction activities) has an operating cycle that

exceeds one year. For classification

of current assets

and liabilities related to such activities, the Company elected to

use the duration of the individual contracts as

its operating cycle. Accordingly,

there are accounts

receivable, contract assets, inventories and provisions related to

these contracts which will not be realized within one

year that have been classified as current.

Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited Consolidated Financial

Information contains all necessary

adjustments to present fairly the financial position, results

of operations and cash flows for the reported periods. Management considers

all such adjustments to be of a normal recurring nature. The

Consolidated Financial

Information is presented in United States dollars ($)

unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, numbers presented

in the Consolidated Financial Information may

not add to the totals provided.

Q1 2022

FINANCIAL

INFORMATION

Note 2

Recent accounting pronouncements

Applicable for current periods

Business Combinations — Accounting for contract

assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers

In January 2022, the Company early adopted a new accounting

standard update, which provides guidance on the accounting for

revenue contracts acquired in a

business combination. The update requires contract assets

and liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized

and measured at the date of

acquisition in accordance with the principles for recognizing revenues

from contracts with customers.

The Company has applied this accounting standard update

prospectively starting with acquisitions closing after January 1, 2022.

Disclosures about government assistance

In January 2022, the Company adopted a new accounting standard

update,

which requires entities to disclose certain types of government

assistance. Under the

update, the Company is required to annually disclose (i) the

type of the assistance received, including any significant

terms and conditions, (ii) its related

accounting policy, and (iii) the effect

such transactions have on its financial statements. The Company

has applied this accounting standard update prospe

ctively.

This update does not have a significant impact on the Company’s

consolidated financial statements.

Applicable for future periods

Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial

reporting

In March 2020, an accounting standard update was issued

which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions

to the current guidance on contract

modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting

burdens

related to the expected market transition from the London

Interbank Offered Rate

(LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference

rates. This update, along with clarifications outlined

in a subsequent update issued in January

2021, can be adopted and applied no later than December 31,

2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company does

not expect this update to have a significant

impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3

Discontinued operations and assets held for sale

Divestment of the Power Grids business

On July 1, 2020, the Company completed the sale of 80.1 percent

of its Power Grids business to Hitachi Ltd (Hitachi).

The transaction was executed through the

sale of 80.1 percent of the shares of Hitachi Energy Ltd, formerly

Hitachi ABB Power Grids Ltd (“Hitachi Energy”).

Cash consideration received at the closing date

was $9,241 million net of cash disposed.

Further, for accounting purposes,

the 19.9 percent ownership interest retained by the Company

is deemed to have been

both divested and reacquired at its fair value on July 1, 2020 (see

Note 4).

At the date of the divestment, the Company recorded liabilities in discontinued

operations for estimated future costs and other cash payments

of $487 million for

various contractual items relating to the sale of the business

including required future cost reimbursements payable

to Hitachi Energy, costs to be

incurred by the

Company for the direct benefit of Hitachi Energy,

and an amount due to Hitachi Ltd in connection

with the expected purchase price finalization of the closing

debt

and working capital balances. From the date of the disposal

through March 31, 2022, $385 million of these liabilities had

been paid and are reported as reductions

in the cash consideration received, of which $21 million

and $44 million was paid during the three months

ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,

respectively. At

March 31, 2022,

the remaining amount recorded was $111

million.

Certain entities of the Power Grids business for which the legal

process or other regulatory delays resulted in the Company

not yet having transferred legal titles to

Hitachi were accounted for as being sold since control of the business

as well as all risks and rewards of the business

have been fully transferred to Hitachi

Energy. The proceeds for these entities

are included in the cash proceeds described above

and certain funds were placed in escrow pending completion

of the

transfer process. At both March 31, 2022, and December 31,

2021,

current restricted cash includes $12 million in respect

of these funds.

Upon closing of the sale, the Company entered into various

transition services agreements (TSAs). Pursuant to these

TSAs, the Company and Hitachi Energy

provide to each other, on an interim, transitional

basis, various services. The services

provided by the Company primarily include finance, information technology,

human resources and certain other administrative services.

Under the current terms, the TSAs will continue for up

to 3 years, and can only be extended on an

exceptional basis for business-critical services for an additional period which

is reasonably necessary to avoid a material adverse

impact on the business. In the

three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,

the Company has recognized within its continuing

operations, general and administrative expenses

incurred to

perform the TSA, offset by $38 million and $47 million, respectively,

in TSA-related income for such services that is reported

in Other income (expense).

Discontinued operations

As a result of the sale of the Power Grids business, substantially

all assets and liabilities related to Power Grids have

been sold. As this divestment represented

strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s

operations and financial results, the

results of this business were presented as discontinued

operations and the assets and liabilities were presented as held

for sale and in discontinued operations. After the

date of sale, certain business contracts in the

Power Grids business continue to be executed by subsidiaries

of the Company for the benefit/risk of Hitachi Energy

Assets and liabilities relating to, as well as

the

net financial results of, these contracts will continue to be

included in discontinued operations until they have been completed

or otherwise transferred to Hitachi

Energy.

In the table above, the “Purchase price for acquisitions”

and “Aggregate excess of purchase price over fair value of

net assets acquired” amounts for the three

months ended March 31, 2022, relate primarily to the acquisition

of InCharge Energy,

Inc. (In-Charge).

Acquisitions of controlling interests have been accounted for under the

acquisition method and have been included in the Company’s

Consolidated Financial

Statements since the date of acquisition.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions

as part of the purchase price allocation process

to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed

the acquisition date, the purchase price allocation for acquisitions

is preliminary for up to 12 months after the acquisition

date and is subject to refinement as more

detailed analyses are completed and additional information

about the fair values of the assets and liabilities becomes available.

Q1 2022

FINANCIAL

INFORMATION

On January 26, 2022, the Company increased its ownership in

In-Charge to a 60 percent controlling interest through a stock

purchase agreement. The resulting

cash outflows for the Company amounted to $135 million (net

of cash acquired of $4 million). The acquisition expands

the market presence of the E-mobility

Division, particularly in the North American market. In connection with

the acquisition, the Company’s pre-existing

13.2 percent ownership of In-Charge was

revalued to fair value and a gain of $32 million was recorded

in Other income (expense) in the three months ended March

31, 2022. The Company entered into an

agreement with the remaining noncontrolling shareholders allowing ei

ther party to put or call the remaining 40 percent

of the shares until 2027. The amount for

which either party can exercise their option is dependent on

a formula based on revenues and thus, the amount

is subject to change. As a result of this agreement,

the noncontrolling interest is classified as Redeemable noncontrolling

interest (i.e. mezzanine equity) in the Consolidated Balance

Sheets and was initially

recognized at fair value.

There were no significant business acquisitions for the three months

ended March 31, 2021.

Investments in equity-accounted companies

In connection with the divestment of its Power Grids business

to Hitachi (see Note 3), the Company retained a 19.

percent interest in the business and obtained

an option, exercisable with three-months’ notice commencing

April 2023, granting it the right to require Hitachi to purchase

this investment at fair value, subject to

a minimum floor price equivalent to a 10 percent discount compared

to the price paid for the initial 80.1 percent. The

Company has concluded that based on its

continuing involvement with the Power Grids business, including

membership in its governing board of directors,

it has significant influence over Hitachi Energy.

a result, the investment (including the value of the option)

is accounted for using the equity method.

At the date of the divestment of the Power Grids business,

the fair value of Hitachi Energy exceeded the book

value of the underlying net assets.

At March 31,

2022, and December 31, 2021,

the reported value of the investment in Hitachi

Energy includes $1,442 million and $1,474 million, respectively,

for the Company’s

amortizes its share of these differences

over the estimated remaining useful lives of the underlying

Note 6

Derivative financial instruments

The Company is exposed to certain currency,

commodity, interest rate and equity

risks arising from its global operating, financing and

investing activities. The

Company uses derivative instruments to reduce and manage the

economic impact of these exposures.

Currency risk

Due to the global nature of the Company’s operations, many

of its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk

in their operating activities from entering into

transactions in currencies other than their functional currency.

To manage such

currency risks, the Company’s policies require its

subsidiaries to hedge their

foreign currency exposures from binding sales and purchase

contracts denominated in foreign currencies. For forecasted foreign currency

denominated sales of

standard products and the related foreign currency denominated purchases,

the Company’s policy is to hedge up to a maximum of

100 percent of the forecasted

foreign currency denominated exposures, depending on the

length of the forecasted exposures. Forecasted

exposures greater than 12 months are not hedged.

Forward foreign exchange contracts are the main instrument used to

protect the Company against the volatility of future cash

flows (caused by changes in

exchange rates) of contracted and forecasted sales and purchases

denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, within

its treasury operations, the Company

primarily uses foreign exchange swaps and forward foreign exchange

contracts to manage the currency and timing mismatches

arising in its liquidity management

activities.

Commodity risk

Various commodity products

are used in the Company’s manufacturing activities.

Consequently it is exposed to volatility in future cash flows arising from

changes

in commodity prices. To

manage the price risk of commodities, the Company’s

policies require that its subsidiaries hedge the commodity

price risk exposures from

binding contracts, as well as at least 50 percent (up to a maximum

of 100 percent) of the forecasted commodity exposure over

the next 12 months or longer (up to

a maximum of 18 months). Primarily swap contracts are used to

manage the associated price risks of commodities.

Interest rate risk

The Company has issued bonds at fixed rates. Interest rate swaps

and cross-currency interest rate swaps are used to manage

the interest rate and foreign

currency risk associated with certain debt and generally such

swaps are designated as fair value hedges. In addition, from time

to time, the Company uses

instruments such as interest rate swaps, interest rate futures, bond

futures or forward rate agreements to manage interest

rate risk arising from the Company’s

balance sheet structure but does not designate such instruments

as hedges.

Equity risk

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the fair value of

its warrant appreciation rights (WARs)

issued under its management

incentive plan. A WAR gives its

holder the right to receive cash equal to the market price of

an equivalent listed warrant on the date of exercise. To

eliminate such risk, the Company has

purchased cash-settled call options, indexed to the shares of the

Company, which entitle the Company

to receive amounts equivalent to its obligations

under the

outstanding WARs.

Volume of derivative activity

In general, while the Company’s primary objective in

its use of derivatives is to minimize exposures arising from

its business, certain derivatives are designated

and qualify for hedge accounting treatment while others either are

not designated or do not qualify for hedge accounting.

Foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives

At March 31, 2022, December 31, 2021, and March 31, 2021,

the Company held 9 million, 9 million and 18 million

cash-settled call options indexed to ABB Ltd

shares (conversion ratio 5:1) with a total fair value of $20

million, $29 million and $30 million, respectively.

Cash flow hedges

As noted above, the Company mainly uses forward foreign exchange

contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk

of its operations, commodity swaps to

manage its commodity risks and cash-settled call options to

hedge its WAR liabilities. The Company applies cash

flow hedge accounting in only limited cases. In

these cases, the effective portion of the changes in their

fair value is recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive

loss” and subsequently reclassified into

earnings in the same line item and in the same period as

the underlying hedged transaction affects

earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2022

and

2021, there were no significant amounts recorded for cash

flow hedge accounting activities.

Fair value hedges

To reduce its interest

rate exposure arising primarily from its debt issuance activities,

the Company uses interest rate swaps

and cross-currency interest rate

swaps. Where such instruments are designated as fair value hedges,

the changes in the fair value of these instruments,

as well as the changes in the fair value of

the risk component of the underlying debt being hedged, are recorded

as offsetting gains and losses in “Interest

and other finance expense”.

Note 7

Fair values

The Company uses fair value measurement principles to record certain

financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis

and, when necessary,

to record certain

non-financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis,

as well as to determine fair value disclosures for certain financial

instruments carried at amortized cost

in the financial statements. Financial assets and liabilities recorded

at fair value on a recurring basis include foreign currency,

commodity and interest rate

derivatives, as well as cash-settled call options and available-for-sale

securities. Non-financial assets recorded at fair value

on a non-recurring basis include

long-lived assets that are reduced to their estimated fair value due

to impairments.

Fair value is the price that would be received when selling an

asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction

between market participants at the

measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company

uses various valuation techniques including the market

approach (using observable market data for

identical or similar assets and liabilities), the income approach (discounted

cash flow models) and the cost approach (using costs

a market participant would incur

to develop a comparable asset). Inputs used to determine the fair

value of assets and liabilities are defined by a three-level

hierarchy, depending on the nature

those inputs. The Company has categorized its financial assets

and liabilities and non-financial assets measured at

fair value within this hierarchy based on

whether the inputs to the valuation technique are observable or unobservable.

An observable input is based on market data obtained from

independent sources,

while an unobservable input reflects the Company’s

assumptions about market data.

The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1:

Valuation inputs consist

of quoted prices in an active market for identical

assets or liabilities (observable quoted prices). Assets

and liabilities valued

using Level 1 inputs include exchange

‑

traded equity securities, listed derivatives

which are actively traded such as commodity futures, interest

rate

futures and certain actively traded debt securities.

Level 2:

Valuation inputs consist

of observable inputs (other than Level 1 inputs)

such as actively quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices

in inactive

markets and inputs other than quoted prices such

as interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, or inputs derived from

other observable data by

interpolation, correlation, regression or other means. The adjustments

applied to quoted prices or the inputs used in valuation

models may be both

observable and unobservable. In these cases, the fair value measurement

is classified as Level 2 unless the unobservable portion

of the adjustment or

the unobservable input to the valuation model is significant,

in which case the fair value measurement would be

classified as Level 3. Assets and

liabilities valued or disclosed using Level 2 inputs include investments

in certain funds, certain debt securities that are not actively

traded, interest rate

swaps, cross-currency interest rate swaps, commodity

swaps, cash-settled call options, forward foreign exchange

contracts, foreign exchange swaps and

forward rate agreements, time deposits, as well as financing receivables

and debt.

Level 3:

Valuation inputs are based on

the Company’s assumptions of relevant market

data (unobservable input).

Whenever quoted prices involve bid-ask spreads, the Company

ordinarily determines fair values based on mid-market

quotes. However, for the purpose of

determining the fair value of cash-settled call options serving

as hedges of the Company’s management incentive

plan, bid prices are used.

When determining fair values based on quoted prices

in an active market, the Company considers if the

level of transaction activity for the financial instrument

has

significantly decreased or would not be considered orderly.

In such cases, the resulting changes in valuation

techniques would be disclosed. If the market is

considered disorderly or if quoted prices are not available, the Company

is required to use another valuation technique, such

as an income approach.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in

estimating fair values of financial assets

and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

●

Securities in “Marketable securities and short-term investments”

and “Other non-current assets”:

If quoted market prices in active markets for identical

assets are available, these are considered Level 1 inputs; however,

when markets are not active, these inputs

are considered Level 2. If such quoted

market prices are not available, fair value is determined using

market prices for similar assets or

present value techniques, applying an appropriate risk-

free interest rate adjusted for non-performance risk. The inputs

used in present value techniques are observable and fall

into the Level 2 category.

●

Derivatives

: The fair values of derivative instruments are determined using

quoted prices of identical instruments from an

active market, if available

(Level 1 inputs). If quoted prices are not available, price quotes

for similar instruments, appropriately adjusted, or present

value techniques, based on

available market data, or option pricing models are used. Cash

-settled call options hedging the Company’s WAR

liability are valued based on bid prices

of the equivalent listed warrant. The fair values obtained using price

quotes for similar instruments or valuation techniques

represent a Level 2 input

unless significant unobservable inputs are used.

Non-recurring fair value measures

The Company elects to record private equity investments without readily

determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, adjusted by

observable price changes.

The Company reassesses at each reporting period whether these

investments continue to qualify for this treatment. During the

three months ended March 31,

2022 and 2021,

the Company recognized, in Other income (expense), net

fair value gains of $29 million and $10 million, respectively,

related to certain of its

private equity investments based on observable market price changes

for an identical or similar investment of the same

issuer. The fair values were determined

using level 2 inputs. The carrying values of investments, carried at

fair value on a non-recurring basis, at March 31,

2022, and December 31, 2021, totaled

$226 million and $228 million, respectively.

Apart from the transactions above, there were no additional significant

non-recurring fair value measurements during the

three months ended March 31, 2022 and

2021.

on a cost basis:

●

Cash and equivalents (excluding securities with original maturities

up to 3 months), Restricted cash, current

and non-current, and Marketable securities

and short-term investments (excluding securities):

The carrying amounts approximate the fair values as the

items are short-term in nature or, for cash

held in banks, are equal to the deposit amount.

●

Short-term debt and current maturities of long-term debt (excluding

finance lease obligations):

Short-term debt includes commercial paper,

bank

borrowings and overdrafts. The carrying amounts of short-term

debt and current maturities of long-term debt, excluding

finance lease obligations,

approximate their fair values.

●

Long-term debt (excluding finance lease obligations):

Fair values of bonds are determined using quoted market

prices (Level 1 inputs), if available. For

bonds without available quoted market prices and other long-term

debt, the fair values are determined using a discounted cash flow

methodology

based upon borrowing rates of similar debt instruments and reflecting

appropriate adjustments for non-performance risk

(Level 2 inputs).

Prior to completing a cash tender offer in November 2020, the original principal amount outstanding,

on each of the 3.8% USD Notes,

due 2028,

and the 4.375% USD Notes,

due

2042, was USD 750 million.

In March 2022, the Company issued the following CHF bonds

(i) CHF 275 million of zero interest bonds, due 2023, and (ii) CHF

425 million of 0.75 percent bonds,

due 2027 with interest payable annually in arrears. The aggregate

net proceeds of these CHF bond issues,

after discount and fees, amounted to CHF 699 million

(equivalent to approximately $751 million on date of issuance).

Also in March 2022, the Company issued the following EUR notes,

both due in 2024, (i) EUR 700 million,

paying interest annually in arrears at a fixed rate of

0.625 percent per annum, and (ii) EUR 500 million floating

rate notes,

paying interest quarterly in arrears at a variable rate of

70 basis points above the 3-month

EURIBOR. In relation to these EUR Notes, the Company recorded net

proceeds (after the respective discount and premium,

as well as fees) of EUR 1,203 million

(equivalent to $1,335 million on the date of issuance).

In line with the Company’s policy of reducing its currency

and interest rate exposures, interest rate swaps have been used to

modify the characteristics of the

CHF 425 million Bonds, due 2027, and the EUR 700 million Notes,

due 2024. After considering the impact of these

interest rate swaps, the CHF 425 million

Bonds

and EUR 700 million Notes, effectively become floating rate

obligations.

Commitments and contingencies

Contingencies—Regulatory, Compliance

and Legal

Regulatory

As a result of an internal investigation, the Company self-reported

to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)

and the Department of Justice (DoJ) in the

United States as well as to the Serious Fraud Office (SFO)

in the United Kingdom concerning certain of its past dealings

with Unaoil and its subsidiaries, including

alleged improper payments made by these entities to third parties.

In May 2020, the SFO closed its investigation, which

it originally announced in February 2017,

as the case did not meet the relevant test for prosecution.

The Company continues to cooperate with the U.S.

authorities as requested. At this time, it is not

possible for the Company to make an informed judgment about

the outcome of this matter.

Based on findings during an internal investigation, the Company

self-reported to the SEC and the DoJ, in the United

States, to the Special Investigating Unit (SIU)

and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA)

in South Africa as well as to various authorities in

other countries potential suspect payments and other compliance

concerns in connection with some of the Company’s dealings

with Eskom and related persons. Many of those parties

have expressed an interest in, or

commenced an investigation into, these matters and the Company is

cooperating fully with them. The Company paid $104

million to Eskom in December 2020 as

part of a full and final settlement with Eskom and the Special Investigating

Unit relating to improper payments and other compliance

issues associated with the

Controls and Instrumentation Contract, and its Variation

Orders for Units 1 and 2 at Kusile. The Company

continues to cooperate fully with the authorities in their

review of the Kusile project and is in discussions with them regarding

a coordinated resolution. Although the Company believes

that there could be an unfavorable

outcome in one or more of these ongoing reviews, at this time

it is not possible for the Company to make

an informed judgment about the possible financial impact.

Q1 2022

FINANCIAL

INFORMATION

General

The Company is aware of proceedings, or the threat of proceedings,

against it and others in respect of private claims by

customers and other third parties with

regard to certain actual or alleged anticompetitive practices.

Also, the Company is subject to other claims and legal proceedings,

as well as investigations carried

out by various law enforcement authorities. With respect to the

above-mentioned claims, regulatory matters,

and any related proceedings, the Company will bear

the related costs, including costs necessary to resolve

them.

Liabilities recognized

At March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had

aggregate liabilities of $106 million and $104 million,

respectively, included in “Other

provisions”

and “Other non

‑

current liabilities”, for the above regulatory,

compliance and legal contingencies, and none of the individual liabilities

recognized was significant. As

it is not possible to make an informed judgment on, or reasonably

predict, the outcome of certain matters

and as it is not possible, based on information currently

available to management, to estimate the maximum potential

liability on other matters, there could be adverse outcomes beyond

the amounts accrued.

Guarantees

General

The following table provides quantitative data regarding the

Company’s third-party guarantees. The maximum

potential payments represent a “worst-case

The carrying amount of liabilities recorded in the Consolidated

Balance Sheets reflects the Company’s best estimate of

future payments, which it may incur as

part

of fulfilling its guarantee obligations. In respect of the above guarantees,

the carrying amounts of liabilities at March

31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, amounted

to $148 million and $156 million, respectively,

the majority of which is included in discontinued operations

The Company is party to various guarantees providing financial

or performance assurances to certain third parties. These guarantees,

which have various

maturities up to 2035, mainly consist of performance guarantees

whereby (i) the Company guarantees

the performance of a third party’s product or service

according to the terms of a contract and (ii) as member

of a consortium/joint-venture that includes third parties, the

Company guarantees not only its own

performance but also the work of third parties. Such guarantees

may include guarantees that a project will be completed

within a specified time. If the third party

does not fulfill the obligation, the Company will compensate the

guaranteed party in cash or in kind. The original

maturity dates for the majority of these

performance guarantees range from one to ten years.

In conjunction with the divestment of the high-voltage cable

and cables accessories businesses, the Company has

entered into various performance guarantees

with other parties with respect to certain liabilities of the

divested business. At March 31, 2022, and December 31,

2021, the maximum potential payable under

these guarantees amounts to $891 million and $911

million, respectively, and these

guarantees have various original maturities ranging from five

to ten years.

The Company retained obligations for financial, performance

and indemnification guarantees related to the Power Grids

business sold on July 1, 2020 (see Note 3

for details). The performance and financial guarantees have been

indemnified by Hitachi, at the same proportion of its ownership

in Hitachi Energy Ltd

(80.1 percent). These guarantees, which have various maturities

up to 2035, primarily consist of bank guarantees, standby

letters of credit,

business performance

guarantees and other trade-related guarantees, the majority of which

have original maturity dates ranging from one to ten years.

The maximum amount payable

under the guarantees at March 31, 2022, and December 31,

2021, is approximately $3.1 billion and $3.2 billion,

respectively, and the carrying

amounts of liabilities

(recorded in discontinued operations) at March 31, 2022, and

December 31, 2021, amounted to $134 million and

$136 million, respectively.

Commercial commitments

In addition, in the normal course of bidding for and executing certain

projects, the Company has entered into standby

letters of credit, bid/performance bonds

and

surety bonds (collectively “performance bonds”) with various

financial institutions. Customers can draw on such

performance bonds in the event that the Company

does not fulfill its contractual obligations. The Company would

then have an obligation to reimburse the financial institution

for amounts paid under the performance

bonds. At both March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the

total outstanding performance bonds aggregated to

$3.6 billion, of each of these amounts, $0.1

billion

relates to discontinued operations. There have been no significant

amounts reimbursed to financial institutions

under these types of arrangements in the three

months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Product and order-related contingencies

The Company calculates its provision for product warranties

based on historical claims experience and specific review

of certain contracts. The reconciliation of the

“Provisions for warranties”, including guarantees of product performance,

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income by the

weighted-average number of shares outstanding during

the period. Diluted earnings per share is

calculated by dividing income by the weighted-average number

of shares outstanding during the period, assuming that

all potentially dilutive securities were

exercised, if dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities comprise outstanding

written call options, and outstanding options and

shares granted subject to certain

conditions under the Company’s share-based payment arrangements.

Note 15

Operating segment data

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is the Chief

Executive Officer. The CODM

allocates resources to and assesses the performance

of each operating

segment using the information outlined below. The

Company is organized into the following segments, based

on products and services: Electrification, Motion,

Process Automation, and Robotics & Discrete Automation. The remaining

operations of the Company are included in Corporate

and Other.

A description of the types of products and services

provided by each reportable segment is as follows:

●

Electrification:

manufactures and sells electrical products and solutions

which are designed to provide safe, smart and

sustainable electrical flow from

the substation to the socket. The portfolio of increasingly digital and

connected solutions includes electric vehicle

charging infrastructure, renewable

power solutions, modular substation packages, distribution

automation products, switchboard and panelboards, switchgear,

UPS solutions, circuit

breakers, measuring and sensing devices, control products,

wiring accessories, enclosures and cabling systems

and intelligent home and building

solutions, designed to integrate and automate lighting, heating,

ventilation, security and data communication network

s. The products and services are

delivered through seven operating Divisions: Distribution Solutions,

Smart Power, Smart Buildings, E-Mobility,

Installation Products, Power Conversion

and Electrification Service.

●

Motion:

designs, manufactures, and sells drives, motors, generators

and traction converters that are driving the low-carbon future

for industries, cities,

infrastructure and transportation. These products, digital technology

and related services enable industrial customers to increase

energy efficiency,

improve safety and reliability, and achieve

precise control of their processes. Building on over 130

years of cumulative experience in electric

powertrains, the Business Area combines domain expertise and

technology to deliver the optimum solution for a wide range

of applications in all

industrial segments. In addition, the Business Area, along with

its partners, has a leading global service

presence. These products and services are

delivered through seven operating Divisions: Large Motors and

Generators, IEC LV Motors,

NEMA Motors, Drive Products, System Drives, Service

and

Traction,

as well as, prior to its sale in November 2021, the Mechanical

Power Transmission Division.

●

Process Automation:

develops and sells a broad range of industry-specific,

integrated automation, electrification and digital

systems and solutions, as

well as digital solutions, lifecycle services, advanced industrial analytics

and artificial intelligence applications and suites for

the process, marine and

hybrid industries. Products and solutions include control technologies,

advanced process control software and manufacturing execution

systems,

sensing, measurement and analytical instrumentation, marine

propulsion systems and turbochargers. In addition,

the Business Area offers a

comprehensive range of services ranging from repair to advanced services

such as remote monitoring, preventive maintenance,

asset performance

management, emission monitoring and cybersecurity

services. The products, systems and services

are delivered through five operating Divisions:

Energy Industries, Process Industries, Marine & Ports,

Turbocharging, and Measurement & Analytics

●

Robotics & Discrete Automation:

delivers its products, solutions and services

through two operating Divisions: Robotics and Machine Automation.

Robotics includes industrial robots, software, robotic solutions

and systems, field services, spare

parts, and digital services. Machine Automation

specializes in solutions based on its programmable logic

controllers (PLC), industrial PCs (IPC), servo motion, transport

systems and machine vision.

Both Divisions offer engineering and simulation software

as well as a comprehensive range of digital solutions.

Corporate and Other:

includes headquarter costs,

the Company’s corporate real estate activities, Corporate Treasury

Operations, historical operating activities of

certain divested businesses and other non-core operating activities.

The primary measure of profitability on which the operating segments

are evaluated is Operational EBITA, which

represents income from operations excluding:

●

amortization expense on intangibles arising upon acquisition (acquisition

-related amortization),

●

restructuring, related and implementation costs,

●

changes in the amount recorded for obligations related to

divested businesses occurring after the divestment date (changes

in obligations related to

divested businesses),

●

changes in estimates relating to opening balance sheets of acquired

businesses (changes in pre-acquisition estimates),

●

gains and losses from sale of businesses (including fair value adjustment

on assets and liabilities held for sale),

●

acquisition- and divestment-related expenses and integration costs,

●

other income/expense relating to the Power Grids joint venture,

●

certain other non-operational items, as well as

●

foreign exchange/commodity timing differences in income

from operations consisting of: (a) unrealized gains

and losses on derivatives (foreign

exchange, commodities, embedded derivatives), (b) realized

gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged

transaction has not yet been

realized, and (c) unrealized foreign exchange movements on receivables/payables

(and related assets/liabilities).

Certain other non-operational items generally includes certain regulatory,

compliance and legal costs, certain asset write downs/impairments

and certain other fair

value changes, as well as other items which are determined

by management on a case-by-case

basis.

The CODM primarily reviews the results of each segment on

a basis that is before the elimination of profits

made on inventory sales between segments. Segment

results below are presented before these eliminations, with a total deduction

for intersegment profits to arrive at the Company’s

consolidated Operational EBITA.

Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for as if

the sales and transfers were to third parties, at current

market prices.

The following tables present disaggregated segment revenues from

contracts with customers,

Operational EBITA, and the reconciliations

of consolidated

Operational EBITA to Income from continuing

operations before taxes for the three months ended March

31, 2022 and 2021, as well as total assets at March 31,

2022, and December 31, 2021.

Supplemental Reconciliations

and Definitions

The following

reconciliations

and definitions

include

measures

which ABB

uses to

supplement

its Consolidated

Financial

Information

(unaudited)

which is

prepared

in accordance

with

United

States

generally

accepted

accounting

principles

(U.S.

GAAP).

Certain

of these

financial

measures

are, or

may be,

considered

non-GAAP

financial

measures

as defined

in the

rules of

the U.S.

Securities

and Exchange

Commission

(SEC).

While

ABB’s

management

believes

that the

non-GAAP

financial

measures

herein

are useful

in evaluating

ABB’s

operating

results,

this information

should

be considered

as supplemental

in nature

and not

as a substitute

for the

financial

information

prepared

in accordance

with U.S.

GAAP.

Therefore

these

measures

should

not be

viewed

in isolation

but considered

together

with

the Consolidated

Financial

Information

(unaudited)

prepared

in accordance

with

U.S. GAA

as of and

for the

three

months

ended

March 31,

2022.

Comparable growth rates

Growth rates for certain key figures may be presented and discussed

on a “comparable” basis. The comparable growth rate measures growth on

a constant

currency basis. Since we are a global company,

the comparability of our operating results reported

in U.S. dollars is affected by foreign

currency exchange rate

fluctuations. We calculate the impacts from foreign currency

fluctuations by translating the current-year periods’ reported key

figures into U.S. dollar amounts using

the exchange rates in effect for the comparable periods

in the previous year.

Comparable growth rates are also adjusted for changes

in our business portfolio. Adjustments to our business

portfolio occur due to acquisitions, divestments,

by exiting specific business activities or customer markets. The adjustment

for portfolio changes is calculated as follows: where

the results of any business

acquired or divested have not been consolidated and reported for the

entire duration of both the current and comparable

periods, the reported key figures of such

business are adjusted to exclude the relevant key figures

of any corresponding quarters which are not comparable when

computing the comparable growth rate.

Certain portfolio changes which do not qualify as divestments under

U.S. GAAP have been treated in a similar manner to

divestments. Changes in our portfolio

where we have exited certain business activities or customer markets

are adjusted as if the relevant business

was divested in the period when the decision to

cease business activities was taken. We do not adjust

for portfolio changes where the relevant business

has annualized revenues of less than $50 million.

The following tables provide reconciliations of reported growth rates

of certain key figures to their respective comparable growth

rate.

INFORMATION

Operational EBITA as

% of operational revenues (Operational EBITA margin)

Definition

Operational EBITA margin

Operational EBITA margin is Operational

EBITA as a percentage of

operational revenues.

Operational EBITA

Operational earnings before interest, taxes and acquisition-related

amortization (Operational EBITA)

represents Income from operations excluding:

●

acquisition-related amortization (as defined below),

●

restructuring, related and implementation costs,

●

changes in the amount recorded for obligations related to divested

businesses occurring after the divestment date (changes

in obligations related to

divested businesses),

●

changes in estimates relating to opening balance sheets of acquired

businesses (changes in pre-acquisition estimates),

●

gains and losses from sale of businesses (including fair

value adjustment on assets and liabilities held for sale),

●

acquisition- and divestment-related expenses and integration costs,

●

other income/expense relating to the Power Grids joint venture,

●

certain other non-operational items, as well as

●

foreign exchange/commodity timing differences in income

from operations consisting of: (a) unrealized gains

and losses on derivatives (foreign

exchange, commodities, embedded derivatives), (b) realized

gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged

transaction has not yet been

realized, and (c) unrealized foreign exchange movements on receivables/p

ayables (and related assets/liabilities).

Certain other non-operational items generally includes certain regulatory,

compliance and legal costs, certain asset impairments

and certain other fair value

changes, as well as other items which are determined by management

on a case-by-case basis.

Operational EBITA is our measure of

segment profit but is also used by management to

evaluate the profitability of the Company as a whole.

Acquisition-related amortization

Amortization expense on intangibles arising upon acquisitions.

Restructuring, related and implementation costs

Restructuring, related and implementation costs consists

of restructuring and other related expenses, as well as internal and external

costs relating to the

implementation of group-wide restructuring programs.

Other income/expense relating to the Power Grids joint

venture

Other income/expense relating to the Power Grids joint venture

consists of amounts recorded in Income from continuing

operations before taxes relating to the

divested Power Grids business including the income/loss under the

equity method for the investment in Hitachi Energy

Ltd. (Hitachi Energy), amortization of

deferred brand income as well as changes in value of other

obligations relating to the divestment.

Operational revenues

The Company presents operational revenues solely for the purpose

of allowing the computation of Operational EBITA

margin. Operational revenues are Total

revenues adjusted for foreign exchange/commodity timing differences

in total revenues of: (i) unrealized gains and losses

on derivatives, (ii) realized gains and

losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged transaction

has not yet been realized, and (iii) unrealized foreign

exchange movements on receivables (and

related assets). Operational revenues are not intended to be an

alternative measure to Total

revenues, which represent our revenues measured

in accordance

with U.S. GAAP.
