CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (September 12, 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) Chief Executive Officer, Scott Strazik, will present today at the 12th Annual Morgan Stanley Laguna conference in Laguna Beach, California at 8:10 AM PDT.  Strazik will discuss the company’s strategic progress and the robust demand for power generation, services, and grid equipment.

As part of today’s event, GE Vernova reaffirms its full year 2024 financial guidance, with revenue trending towards the higher end of $34-$35 billion, adjusted EBITDA margin* of 5%-7%, and free cash flow* of $1.3-$1.7 billion. The company expects incremental strength in its Power and Electrification segments, with both trending towards the higher end of EBITDA margin guidance, to offset additional costs in its Wind segment, due to the recent Offshore Wind blade events.

For third quarter 2024, GE Vernova still expects solid year-over-year organic revenue* growth with adjusted EBITDA* now relatively flat versus prior year, as a result of the additional Offshore Wind costs. The Wind segment is now expected to generate an approximately $300 million EBITDA loss in the third quarter 2024 given these costs, despite Onshore Wind delivering a fifth straight quarter of profitability. The company expects the Wind segment to be modestly profitable in the fourth quarter.

Additional updates Strazik will share include how Power is expanding capacity to enable delivery of 70 to 80 heavy duty gas turbine units annually starting in 2026, compared to the recent average of approximately 55 shipments annually. Given the strong demand for grid equipment, GE Vernova expects the Electrification equipment backlog¹ to more than triple by year end 2024, compared to the $6.4 billion backlog at year end 2022.

Finally, GE Vernova will host an investor event on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, in New York City, to provide an update on the company’s financial outlook and capital allocation strategy.
