ABB

INTERIM

REPORT

2024

My key take-aways

from the first quarter of

2024 are the better

than expected order

intake of $9 billion, positive

book-to-bill of

1.14 and record-high Operational

EBITA margin as

well as the

free cash flow of $551

million representing a strong

delivery for

a first quarter.

We published our sustainability

report,

where a

highlight was the proof

point of one of our core

customer value

propositions

- reduced greenhouse gas

(GHG) emissions. From

products sold in 2023,

and through their lifecycle,

we enabled

our customers to avoid

74 megatons of GHG emissions.

At the

current total of 139

megatons, we are on a

good path towards

our ambition of helping

customers avoid 600

megatons of CO

₂

emissions throughout

the lifetime of products sold

from 2022 to

2030.

As expected, orders declined

from last year’s record-high

comparable,

however the drop was

limited at 5% (4%

comparable). To

summarize the quarter,

we see a continued

high level of customer

activity in the project

and systems areas,

and I am encouraged

by the positive order development

Electrification’s

short-cycle businesses.

So, while ABB’s total

orders declined in the

first quarter,

I feel even more confident

about 2024 than

I did coming into the year.

It was impressive to see

new record-high order

intake in both

Electrification and Motion

business areas. Process

Automation

orders declined from

the all-time-high comparable,

but

remained fairly consistent

with strong recent quarterly

levels.

the start of this year,

we called the fourth quarter the

trough for

Robotics & Discrete

Automation order level.

This realized,

and

as expected order

intake increased sequentially

However, it

declined sharply year

-on-year on the back of customers

normalizing order patterns

after a pre-buy period.

Revenues remained stable

(up 2% comparable),

with

comparable growth

supported in equal parts by

price and

volumes. I was pleased

to see the positive gross

margin

improvement of

270 basis points to 37.3

%, supported by a

positive development

in all business areas.

A more efficient

execution of slightly

higher volumes and price

contributed to the

160 basis points

increase in Operational

EBITA margin to

the

new record-high of 17.9%.

In my view this is a good

sign that

there is still upside

potential in ABB and we can

make mid-term

improvements within

the new higher margin

target range

announced in November.

The strong cash

flow start to the year positions

us for what we

anticipate to be another

good annual free cash flow

delivery of

at least similar to last

year’s level. Using the cash

to expand

know-how and footprint

through acquisitions is

an important

path to creating long

-term shareholder value.

It was nice to see

the announced acquisition

of SEAM, which would add

energy

asset management

and advisory services to clients

across

industrial and commercial

building markets to the Electrification

Service division.

We have a good target pipeline,

including

some deals which are

slightly more sizeable

than most of the

recent announcements.

The share buyback program

is a tool

we use to distribute

residual excess cash, and

we announced

another annual program

of up to $1 billion which

launched on

April 1. The size of

the program is consistent

with last year’s,

although the time frame

for execution is shorter

as it runs until

the end of January

2025,

to align with the announcement

of Q4

2024 results and 2024

dividend proposal.

During the quarter

we announced my decision

to retire as CEO

from ABB. I remain

fully committed until the end

of July when

Morten Wierod takes

the reins, and thereafter

I will support the

transition in an advisory

role until the end of the

year. I am

happy to see Morten

take this step and I am confident

that the

ABB Way operating

model will be even

further engrained in our

ways of working under

his already proven leadership.

While we

regret to see him go,

I want to congratulate

Tarak

Mehta on his

new opportunity

outside of ABB. Tarak

has made an

outstanding contribution

to the success of our company

and I

wish him all the best

for this next step on his

journey. The

process to find new

leaders to the business

areas Electrification

and Motion is ongoing

and Morten looks to have

a full team in

place when he takes

office in August.

Björn Rosengren

CEO

In the

second quarter of 2024

, we anticipate a mid-single

-digit

comparable revenue

growth year-on-year and the

Operational

EBITA margin

to be slightly higher

than in the first quarter 2024.

In full-year 2024

, we expect a positive book

-to-bill, comparable

revenue growth to be

about 5% and the Operational

EBITA

margin to be about

18%.

CEO summary

Outlook

ABB

INTERIM

REPORT

2024

The first quarter order

intake of $8,974

million represents one of

the strongest quarterly

levels for ABB Group, yet

orders declined

by 5% (4% comparable)

from last year’s record-high. Two

business areas even

improved from last year’s all-time-highs

with Motion’s order

growth at 2% (1% comparable)

and

Electrification at a strong

6% (8% comparable).

In Electrification,

the year-on-year

improvement was supported

by a positive

development in both

the long- and short-cycle businesses.

Process Automation

the underlying market activity

remained

robust,

but year-on-year orders declined

by 20%

(20%

comparable) with growth

challenged by the record-high

comparable and

the timing of orders in the

current quarter.

Robotics & Discrete

Automation, orders declined

sharply by 30%

(30%

comparable) due to the

still on-going normalization

order patterns in discrete

automation and a softer

robotics

market.

Orders in the Americas

dropped by 3% (3% comparable)

as a

positive comparable development

in the United States was

offset by declines

elsewhere and mainly due

to the timing of

large orders. Europe

declined by 8% (9% comparable)

weighed

down by important

markets like Germany and

Italy.

Asia, Middle

East and Africa declined

by 4% (0% comparable)

where the

strong comparable

development in countries

like India, Japan

and Australia offset

a sharp decline in China.

In transport & infrastructure,

there were positive developments

marine, ports and rail

Industrial areas with particularly

strong development in

all regions

were utilities and datacenters.

Orders in the buildings

segment improved overall,

due to the

combined impact from

a positive development

in the commercial

area driven by the United

States, while the residential

segment

remained stable

in the US and softened

slightly in other regions.

In the robotics-related

segments, orders declined

in the

automotive,

general industry and consumer

-related segments.

The machine builder segment

declined as customers normalized

order patterns after

earlier pre-buys.

On a very challenging

comparable, orders declined

in the large

process-related segments

of oil & gas, pulp & paper

and mining.

However,

a positive development

was recorded in the still

less

sizeable low carbon-related

areas such as nuclear,

carbon capture,

hydrogen etc. The underlying

market sentiment remained

robust

across the board.

Revenues remained stable

(up 2% comparable) and amounted

$7,870

million. On a business area

level there were variances,

with

strong growth in

Electrification and Process

Automation, while

Motion and Robotics

& Discrete Automation declined.

Group

revenues were supported

by execution of the strong

order backlog

which more than offset

weakness in parts of

the short-cycle

businesses. In total,

price and volume contributed

in equal parts to

comparable growth.

2024

Gross profit

Gross profit increased

by 8% (9% constant currency)

$2,935

million, reflecting a gross

margin improvement of 270

basis

points to 37.3%. Gross margin

improved in all four business

areas.

Income from operations

amounted to $1,217 million

and improved

by 2% year-on-year.

Compared with the last year

period,

the

earnings improvement

was supported by a strong

er operational

performance partially

offset by higher expenses

related to the ABB

Way transformation

program and adverse currency

hedging

impacts. Margin on

Income from operations

was 15.5%, up by

30 basis points year

-on-year.

Operational EBITA

Despite limited revenue

growth, the Operational

EBITA improved

by 11%

year-on-year to $1,417

million and the margin increased

by 160 basis points

to a new all-time-high of 17.

9%. Contribution

from operational

leverage on slightly higher

volumes, a positive

price impact and effects

from continuous efficiency

measures more

than offset the higher

expenses related to labor

costs, Research &

development (R&D) and

Selling, general and administrative

(SG&A) expenses.

Operational EBITA in

Corporate and

Other

amounted to -$1

18 million, of which -$6

million related to the

underlying Corporate

costs. The remaining

-$54

million related to

the E-mobility business

where operational performance

was

hampered by the ongoing

reorganization to ensure

a more focused

portfolio, and some

inventory-related provisions.

While E-mobility

is on track towards

the improved portfolio, the

financial benefits will

not be visible until towards

the end of 2024.

Finance net

Net finance income

contributed with a positive

$20 million, an

improvement from

last year’s expense of $21

million.

The year-on-

year improvement

is due to a combination

of a lower net debt

position and favorable

mix of interest rates between

borrowings and

cash deposits.

Income tax

Income tax expense

was $339 million with an

effective tax rate of

27%. This is higher than

last year’s rate of 10%, which

was low due

to favorable resolution

of a prior year tax matter

relating to the

divestment of the

Power Grids business.

Net income and earnings

per share

Net income attributable

to ABB was $905 million,

representing a

reduction of 13% from

last year, as

the improved operational

performance this year

did not offset last

year’s positive benefits from

the low tax rate.

This resulted in basic earnings

per share of $0.49,

down from $0.56 in the

last year period.

Net working capital

amounted to $3,588 million,

decreasing

year-on-year from $4,164

Net debt

amounted to $2,086 million

at the end of the quarter

and decreased from $3,826

The

sequential increase

Cash flows

Cash flow from operating

activities was $726

million,

representing a steep

year-on-year increase

from

$282 million. Three

The increase was driven

by better

to recent

quarters. Book-to-bill

was positive at 1.06.

●

On a very challenging

comparable, orders declined

in the

large process-related

segments oil & gas, pulp

& paper

and mining. However,

a positive development

was

recorded for ports and

in the less sizeable low

carbon-

related areas such

as nuclear, carbon

capture, hydrogen

etc. The underlying market

sentiment remained robust

across the board.

●

On execution of the

high order backlog, revenues

increased strongly

at 11% (12%

comparable) and

amounted to $1,601

million with a positive contribution

from all divisions,

supported by strong contribution

from

the service business

Profit

With support from all

divisions, the Operational

EBITA

margin improved by 140

basis points to the

new record-

high level of 15.6%

and the Operational EBITA

improved by

23% to $253

million.

●

Profitability was supported

by the mix in execution

of the

order backlog which host

a higher gross margin, whilst

keeping SG&A expenses

on a stable percentage

revenues.

●

A slight positive price

impact offset increased

salary-

related expenses, year

-on-year.

●

Operational EBITA

margin improved in

all divisions with

all now in the “teens”

margin range.

INTERIM

REPORT

2024

Orders and revenues

As anticipated, order

intake improved from

the fourth quarter,

with the strongest increase

recorded in the Robotics division.

However,

total orders declined

by 30% (30% comparable)

from last year’s high comparable

and amounted to $701

million.

●

Orders declined

at a double-digit rate in both divisions,

although more pronounced

in Machine Automation.

●

The

Robotics

demand declined

in all customer segments

year-on-year.

The sequential pattern

was encouraging and

inventory levels in the

channels did seemingly

align with the

current market situation

towards the end of quarter.

●

Machine Automation

customers held

off placing orders

while awaiting deliveries

from the recent pre-buy period.

Order backlog remains

high and supports

deliveries into the

latter part of the summer.

●

From a geographical

perspective, orders in

the Americas

declined by 24%

(26% comparable).

The decline in Europe

was 31% (32% comparable).

In Asia, Middle East and

Africa

orders

declined by 32% (28%

comparable), hampered

China being down

by 46%

(43% comparable).

●

Revenues of $864

million represented a decline

of 8% (7%

comparable) from last

year, including

a positive price impact.

This is the combined

effect of a strong

increase in the Machine

Automation division

executing the order backlog;

and a decline in

the larger robotics division

where the order backlog has

normalized and the

short-cycle business was under

pressure.

Profit

Operational leverage

on lower volumes put

pressure on the

Operational EBITA

which declined by

19%

to $113

million and the

Operational EBITA

margin which dropped

by 170 basis points year-

on-year to 13.2%.

●

A solid execution of

higher volumes resulted

in improved

profitability in the

Machine Automation business.

This was

however more than

offset by lower production

volumes

triggering underabsorption

of fixed costs in the short

-cycle

Robotics business.

●

positive price contribution

from order backlog deliveries

and

the efficiency

measures activated as a response

to the soft

market climate broadly

offset adverse impacts

from increased

labor,

Events from the Quarter

●

ABB and CERN, the

European Laboratory

for Particle

Physics, have collaborated

on a strategic research

partnership to enhance

energy efficiency

in cooling and

ventilation systems

at CERN’s particle physics

institute in

Geneva, Switzerland.

Through energy efficiency

audits,

they identified a 17.4%

energy-saving potential across

fleet of 800 motors.

This translates to annual energy

savings of up to 31 gigawatt

-hours (GWh) - enough

power over 18,000

European households and

avoid 4

kilotonnes of CO

₂

emissions. The initiative

surpassed

CERN’s goal of reducing

cooling and ventilation

energy

use by 10-15%.

●

SEV, the

main electricity supplier

in the Faroe Islands,

contracted ABB to enhance

grid stability during the

transition to green energy.

ABB is providing synchronous

condenser (SC) technology

to stabilize the power grid

fossil-fueled plants

are phased out in favor

of renewable

generation. The latest

SC will be deployed on

the island

of Borðoy where

it will reinforce the local electricity

supply

for around 5,000 people.

●

ABB will deliver

a shore-to-ship power supply solution

allowing DEME’s diverse

fleet to avoid emissions

when

berthed in the port

of Vlissingen, the Netherlands.

The

technology supports

DEME’s long-term decarbonization

strategy,

providing flexibility

to adapt to changing grid

capabilities. ABB will install

shore power for suitably

equipped vessels calling

at Vlissingen’s

DEME base by

the end of 2024,

as part of a government-supported

initiative stimulating the

use of shore power facilities

Dutch seaports. Connecting

to shore power while

at berth

is expected to become

mandatory at main EU ports

from

2030 under FuelEU Maritime

regulations.

●

ABB Electrification’s

facility in Vaasa

has achieved a 1,400t

e reduction in Scope

1 & 2 emissions since

2019. This

progress is driven by

a company-wide culture of

sustainability,

employee-led energy savings,

and

investment in renewable

energy sourcing. The

teams at

ABB Vaasa

have contributed over

100 energy-saving ideas,

resulting in a 20

percent reduction in consumption

(equivalent to 1,082

MWh) since 2019. Automation,

smart

energy solutions, and

a commitment to net

zero have

played pivotal roles.

ABB Vaasa, a

global center for

electrical low-voltage

switches and protection

relays,

exemplifies empowered

employees leading the way

toward

sustainability.

●

In March,

ABB teams across the

world celebrated

International Women’s

Day and Women’s

History Month

with numerous events,

mentor programs, panel

discussions, networking

sessions and campaigns

that

highlighted the importance

of gender equality,

whilst

promoting initiatives

to foster inclusion in the

workplace and

society at large.

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 technology

leader in electrification and automation, enabling a more sustainable

and

resource-efficient future. The Company’s solutions connect

engineering know-how and software to optimize how things

are manufactured, moved, powered, and

operated.

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, 2023.

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:

●

estimates to determine valuation allowances for deferred tax assets

and amounts recorded for unrecognized tax benefits,

●

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,

●

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,

●

assumptions and projections, principally related to future material,

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

percentage-of-

completion on projects where revenue is recognized over time,

as well as the amount of variable consideration the

Company expects to be entitled to,

●

assumptions used in the calculation of pension and postretirement

benefits and the fair value of pension plan assets,

●

estimates used to record expected costs for employee severance

in connection with restructuring programs,

●

assumptions used in determining inventory obsolescence and net

realizable value,

●

growth rates, discount rates and other assumptions used to determine

impairment of long-lived assets and in testing goodwill

for impairment,

●

estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair values

of assets and liabilities assumed in business

combinations, and

●

estimates and assumptions used in determining the initial fair value

of retained noncontrolling interests

and certain obligations in connection with

divestments.

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.

Certain amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Information for

prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the

current year’s presentation.

Change in accounting policy

Effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed

the presentation of discontinued operations

in its statement of cas

flows to an alternate allowable

policy. As a result, the

total cash flows for operating, investing

and financing activities from discontinued

operations are no longer shown separately but

instead all cash flows in discontinued operations

are presented within each line item as appropriate

in the statement of cash flows. As

this presentation

change represents a change in accounting

policy, all prior periods presented

have been reclassified to conform to the

current period presentation and

there was no material impact

for the three months ended March 31,

2023.

Q1 2024 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 2

Recent accounting pronouncements

Applicable for current periods

Improvements to reportable segment disclosures

In January 2024, the Company adopted an accounting standard

update which requires the Company to disclose additional reportable

segment information

primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses

and extending certain annual disclosure requirements

to a quarterly frequency.

The

update will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented

in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements

and then commencing from the first

quarter of 2025, in its interim consolidated financial information.

Other than these additional disclosures,

this update does not have a significant impact on the

Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Applicable for future periods

Improvements to Income tax disclosures

In December 2023, an accounting standard update was issued which

requires the Company to disclose additional information

related to income taxes. Under the

update, the Company is required to annually disclose by jurisdiction

(i) additional disaggregated information within the

tax rate reconciliation and (ii) income taxes

paid. This update is effective for the Company prospectively,

with retrospective adoption permitted, for annual

periods beginning January 1, 2025. The Company

currently evaluating the impact of adopting this update on

its consolidated financial statements.

Q1 2024 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

─

Note 4

Derivative financial instruments

The Company is exposed to certain currency,

commodity and interest rate risks arising from its global

operating, financing and investing activities. The Company

uses derivative instruments to reduce and manage the economic

impact of these exposures.

Currency risk

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

of its subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk

in their 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 purchas

es, 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.

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 accou

nting.

Foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives

The gross notional amounts of outstanding foreign exchange and

interest rate derivatives (whether designated as hedges

or not) were as follows:

primarily copper, silver,

steel and

aluminum. The following table shows the notional amounts of outstanding

derivatives (whether designated as hedges or not), on

a net basis, to reflect the

Company’s requirements for these commodities:

Cash flow hedges

As noted above, the Company mainly uses forward foreign exchange

contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk

of its operations and commodity swaps to

manage its commodity risks. 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, 2024 and 2023, 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.

The effect of derivative instruments, designated and qualifying

as fair value hedges, on the Consolidated Income

Statements was as follows:

Q1 2024 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Derivatives not designated in hedge relationships

Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or do not

qualify as either cash flow or fair value hedges

are economic hedges used for risk management

purposes. Gains and losses from changes in the fair values

of such derivatives are recognized in the same line in the

income statement as the economically

hedged transaction.

Furthermore, under certain circumstances, the Company

is required to split and account separately for foreign currency

derivatives that are embedded within

certain binding sales or purchase contracts denominated

in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary

and the counterparty.

The gains (losses) recognized in the Consolidated Income Statements

on derivatives not designated in hedging relationships

were as follows:

Note 5

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 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 of

those inputs. The Company has categorized its financial assets

and liabilities and non-financial assets measured at

fair value within this hierarchy based on

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

Q1 2024 FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in

estimating fair values of financial assets

and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

●

Securities in “Marketable securities and short-term investments”:

If quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets

are available, these are

considered Level 1 inputs; however,

when markets are not active, these inputs are

considered Level 2. If such quoted market prices are not

available,

fair value is determined using market prices for similar assets

or present value techniques, applying an 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. 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

There were no significant non-recurring fair value measurements

during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and

2023.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in

estimating fair values of financial instruments carried

on a cost basis:

●

Cash and equivalents (excluding securities with original maturities

up to 3 months), Restricted cash, 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).

Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s right to receive

consideration for work completed but for which no invoice

has been issued at the reporting date.

Contract assets are transferred to receivables when rights

to receive payment become unconditional. Management expects

that the majority of the amounts will be

collected within one year of the respective balance sheet date.

Contract liabilities primarily relate to up-front advances received on

orders from customers as well as amounts invoiced

to customers in excess of revenues

recognized predominantly on long-term projects. Contract liabilities

are reduced as work is performed and as revenues are recognized

had unsatisfied performance

obligations totaling $22,015 million and, of this amount, the Company

expects to fulfill approximately 61 percent of the obligations

in 2024, approximately

23 percent of the obligations in 2025 and the balance thereafter.

Supplier finance programs

The Company has several supplier finance programs, all with similar

characteristics, with various financial institutions acting

as paying agent. These programs

allow qualifying suppliers access to bank facilities which permit earlier

payment at a cost to the supplier.

The Company’s payment terms related to suppliers’

finance programs are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions

to sell amounts under the arrangements and are typically consistent

with local market practices.

Outstanding supplier finance obligations are included in “Accounts

payable, trade” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets

and are reported as operating or investing

(if capitalized) activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows

when paid. At March 31, 2024, and December

31, 2023, the total obligation outstanding

under supplier finance programs amounted to $442 million and

$415 million, respectively.

Commitments and contingencies

Contingencies—Regulatory, Compliance

and Legal

Regulatory

Based on findings during an internal investigation, the Company

self-reported to the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC)

and the Department of Justice (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 SIU 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 made a provision

approximately $325 million which was recorded in Other income (expense),

net, during the third quarter of 2022. In December

2022, the Company settled with the

SEC and DoJ as well as the authorities in South Africa and Switzerland.

In March 2024, the Company settled its final pending

matter with the authorities in

Germany. The Company does not

believe that it will need to record any additional provisions

for this matter.

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, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the Company had

aggregate liabilities of $92 million and $101

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

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, 2024, and December 31, 2023, were not

significant.

The Company is party to various guarantees providing financial

or performance assurances to certain third parties. These guarantees,

which have various

maturities up to 2032, mainly consist of performance guarantees

whereby (i) the Company guarantees

the performance of a third party’s product or service

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

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

Company guarantees not only its own

performance but also the work of third parties. Such guarantees

may include guarantees that a project will be

completed within a specified time. If the third party

does not fulfill the obligation, the Company will compensate the

guaranteed party in cash or in kind. The original

maturity dates for the majority of these

performance guarantees range from one to ten years.

In conjunction with the divestment of the high-voltage cable

and cables accessories businesses, the Company has

entered into various performance guarantees

with other parties with respect to certain liabilities of the

divested business. At March 31, 2024, and December 31,

2023, the maximum potential payable under

these guarantees amounts to $843 million and $874 million, respectively,

and these guarantees have various original maturities

ranging from five to ten years.

The Company retained obligations for financial and performance guarantees

related to its former Power Grids business

(reported as discontinued operations prior

to its sale to Hitachi Ltd in 2020), which at both March

31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, have been fully

indemnified by Hitachi Ltd. These guarantees, having

various maturities up to 2032, primarily consist of bank guarantees,

standby letters of credit, business performance guarante

es and other trade-related guarantees,

the majority of which have original maturity dates ranging from

one to ten years. The maximum amount payable under

these guarantees at both March 31, 2024,

and December 31, 2023, was approximately $2.2 billion.

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 March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the total outstanding

performance bonds aggregated to $3.2 billion and $3

.1 billion, respectively. There

have

been no significant amounts reimbursed to financial institutions

under these types of arrangements in the three

months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

if any, as compared to those

forecasted at the beginning of the year and each interim period

thereafter.

The effective tax rate of 27.1 percent in the three months

ended March 31, 2024, was higher than the effective

tax rate of 10.1 percent in the three months ended

March 31, 2023,

primarily due to a net benefit of $206 million realized

on a favorable resolution of an uncertain tax position

in the three months ended March 31,

2023. The release of the corresponding provision resulted in

an increase of $0.11 in earnings

per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended

March 31,

2023.

Note 13

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 renewable power

solutions, modular substation

packages, distribution automation products, switchboards 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

networks.

The products and services are currently delivered through five

operating Divisions: Distribution Solutions, Smart Power,

Smart Buildings, Installation Products and Service, as

well as, prior to its sale in July 2023, the

Power Conversion Division.

●

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 140

years of cumulative experience in electric

powertrains, Motion combines domain expertise and technology

to deliver the optimum solution for a wide range of applications

in all industrial

segments. In addition, Motion, 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.

●

Process Automation:

offers a broad range of industry-specific,

integrated automation, electrification and digital solutions,

as well as lifecycle services for

the process,

hybrid and marine industries. The product portfolio includes

control technologies, industrial software, advanced

analytics, sensing and

measurement technology, and marine

propulsion systems. In addition,

Process Automation offers a comprehensive range

of services,

from repair to

advanced digital capabilities such as remote monitoring, preventive

maintenance, asset performance management, emission

monitoring and

cybersecurity.

The products, systems and services are delivered through four operating

Divisions: Energy Industries, Process Industries, Marine &

Ports and Measurement & Analytics.

●

Robotics & Discrete Automation:

delivers its products, solutions and services

through two operating Divisions. Robotics provides industrial and

collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robotics, mapping and

navigation solutions, robotic solutions, field services,

spare parts and digital services.

Machine Automation specializes in automation solutions based

on its programmable logic controllers (PLC), industrial

PCs (IPC), servo motion,

transport systems and machine vision. Both divisions offer

software across the entire life cycle, including

engineering and simulation software as well as

a comprehensive range of digital solutions.

Corporate and Other:

Corporate includes headquarter costs, the Company’s

corporate real estate activities and Corporate Treasury

while Other includes the E-

mobility operating segment, other non-core operating activities as

well as the operating activities of certain divested businesses.

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),

●

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

on assets and liabilities held for sale,

if any),

●

acquisition- and divestment-related expenses and integration costs,

●

certain other non-operational items, as well as

●

foreign exchange/commodity timing differences in income

from operations consisting of: (a) unrealized gains

and losses on derivatives (foreign

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

gains and losses on derivatives where the underlying hedged

transaction has not yet been

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

(and related assets/liabilities).

Certain other non-operational items generally includes certain regulatory,

compliance and legal costs, certain asset write downs/impairments

and certain other fair

value changes, as well as other items which are determined

by management on a case-by-case

basis.

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, 2024 and 2023, as well as total assets at March 31,

2024, and December 31, 2023.

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 related financial information

prepared in accordance with U.S.

GAAP. Therefore

these measures should not be viewed in

isolation but considered together with the

Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited) prepared in accordance

with U.S. GAAP as of and for

the three months ended March 31,

2024.

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.

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.

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.
