ABB

INTERIM

REPORT

2022

In the fourth quarter

of 2022, we improved comparable

orders

and revenues, we increased

our Operational EBITA

by 16%,

raised our Operational

EBITA margin by

170 basis points and

lifted ROCE to 16.5%

for 2022,

to within our target range.

All in

all, this was a good

achievement in my view.

Customer activity improved

slightly or remained stable

in most

customer segments, except

for declines related to residential

construction and discrete

manufacturing.

The market outlook for

discrete manufacturing

remains solid, although

the fourth

quarter was adversely

impacted by customers

normalizing order

patterns following a

period of pre-ordering triggered

by the long

delivery lead times

in a strained value chain.

This weighed on

order intake in Robotics

& Discrete Automation,

while the other

three business areas

remained stable or

increased

comparable

orders. Revenues were

strong and increased by 3%

(16%

comparable). The Americas

region was the growth engine

for

orders, while Europe

reversed and Asia,

Middle East and Africa

remained overall largely

stable despite a decline

in China. The

escalating Covid-related

situation in China somewhat

slowed

down local business activity

towards the end of the period.

Our

priority is to keep our

people safe.

Our strong price execution

combined with increased volumes

supported the higher

gross margin and drove the

improvement

of 170 basis points

in the Operational EBITA

margin to 14.8%,

the strongest fourth

quarter margin in several years.

This

resulted in 2022

being a record year for

ABB,

in recent history,

with an Operational

EBITA margin

of 15.3%. We achieved

good

price management,

executed well on increased

volumes with

some additional support

from unusually low corporate

costs. I

am pleased how the divisions

managed challenges

like supply

chain constraints, a

tight labor market, Covid

-related lock downs

in China and a high

inflationary environment.

Cash flow of $687

million in the quarter

is the one area which

did not quite meet our

expectations as the depletion

of net

working capital was

slower than anticipated.

This will be an

important focus area

for us near term as

we deliver against our

high order backlog.

As earlier announced, the

finalization of the

Kusile-related issues

weighed on cash flow by

approximately

$315

million, while the closing of

the divestment of Power Grids

generated a net

cash contribution in investing

activities of $1.4

billion.

We remain committed

to our plans to separately

list our E-mobility

business,

subject to constructive

market conditions.

Meanwhile,

we have closed by

the end of January the pre

-IPO private

placement of approx

imately CHF525 million

for newly issued

shares to new minority

investors representing

approximately 20%

ownership of the

E-mobility business. The

proceeds will be used

to capture E-mobility’s

growth

potential through organic

and M&A investments

in hardware and

software.

Just after the close

of the fourth quarter,

we progressed with the

final part of our announced

divisional exits by signing

agreement to divest

the Power Conversion division

in the

Electrification business

area. From here on,

we will continue to

review our business portfolio

on a product group

level within our

current divisions.

One example is our decision

to initiate the exit

of the emergency lighting

business within the

Smart Buildings

division in the Electrification

business area during 2023.

By partnering with

the Swedish mining and

smelting company

Boliden to build a strategic

co-operation to use low

carbon

footprint copper in our

electromagnetic stirring

(EMS) equipment

and high-efficiency

electric motors, we took

another step towards

our 2030 target of having

a circular approach in

at least 80

percent of our products

and solutions. The aim is to

reduce

greenhouse gas

(GHG) emissions while driving

the transition to a

more circular economy.

Looking into 2023,

we currently do not ant

icipate a major set-back

in demand, although

the high inflationary environment

adds

uncertainty.

Comparable order growth,

at least in the first half of

the year, should

be somewhat hampered by

last year’s very high

order level coupled

with a normalization of customers’

order

pattern after a period of

pre-ordering in times of

a strained value

chain. I expect comparable

revenue growth to be above

5%,

supported by backlog

execution. Cash flow

should benefit from us

working down the net working

capital, and we should also

have

less adverse items

impacting comparability.

I view 2023 as a

good opportunity for

ABB to prove that we can

continuously

deliver an annual

Operational EBITA margin

of at least 15%.

Considering improving

performance, robust cash

flow and a solid

balance sheet, the

Board of Directors proposes

an ordinary

dividend of CHF0.84 per

share. Up from CHF0.82 in

the previous

year and in line with

the long-term ambition

of a rising sustainable

dividend per share

over time, while still prioritizing

a solid balance

sheet to support our

growth ambitions. We

plan to continue with

share buybacks for

full year of 2023.

Björn Rosengren

CEO

In the

first quarter of 2023

, we anticipate double-digit

comparable revenue

growth to support some improvement

the Operational EBITA

margin, year-on-year.

In full-year

2023, despite current market

uncertainty,

anticipate comparable

revenue growth to be

above 5% and we

expect to again achieve

our long-term target of

Operational

EBITA margin

of at least 15%.

CEO summary

Outlook

ABB

INTERIM

REPORT

2022

In the fourth quarter

order intake declined

by 8% (up 2%

comparable) year

-on-year to $7,620 million

with a favorable

development in most

of the process-related

segments, while

certain parts of the

short-cycle business declined

as customers

normalize order patterns.

When looking through

the adverse impact from

changes in

exchange rate, orders

remained stable or increased

in three out

of four business

areas. Robotics & Discrete

Automation

declined due to a normalization

of customers’ order patterns

following a period of pre

-buying due to a strained supply

chain

which extended delivery

lead times. This was predominantly

related to the machine

builder segment, while robotics

demand

remained broadly stable

year-on-year.

The automotive segment

improved on EV-related

investments,

while softening demand

was noted in the robotics

consumer

related segments.

In transport & infrastructure,

there was a positive development

in marine & ports and

renewables. In buildings

there was

weakness in residential

-related demand, while

commercial

construction was robust.

Demand in the process

-related business was robust

in refining,

and held up well also

for oil & gas, water

& wastewater,

power

generation and pulp

& paper.

Slightly softer momentum

was noted in metals,

where

customers seemingly

are concerned about

elevated energy

prices.

The strongest order

momentum was reported

in the Americas

on an increase of 10%

(15% comparable), supported

by a

strong development

in the US in all business areas.

Orders in

Europe decreased

by 17% (5% comparable),

including a

double-digit decline noted

in the large German

market. Asia,

Middle East and

Africa reported a decline of

15% (2%

comparable), including

a decline of 22% (12% comparable)

China. Some softening

of demand in China was

noted towards

the end of the quarter,

coinciding with the local

intensifying of

the Covid situation.

A strong momentum in

deliveries, including a good

release from

the order backlog, resulted

in revenues increasing by

3% (16%

comparable) to $7,824

million. Impacts from strong

increases in

both volume and price

more than offset adverse

effects from

changes in exchange

rates and portfolio changes,

with

contribution from all

business areas. So far,

the ABB operations

in China have maintained

production at close to

normal level

without any major impact

from the intensified

Covid-related

situation.

2022

Gross profit

Gross profit increased

strongly by 11

(22%

constant currency) to

$2,658 million, supported

by a significant gross

margin

improvement of

230 basis points to 34.0

%. Gross margin improved

materially in all business

areas.

Income from operations

amounted to $1,185 million,

declining by

60% (56% constant

currency). Compared with

last year, earnings

were significantly supported

by the improved operational

performance, with some

additional tailwind from

a net positive

impact related to the non

-core business. This was however

than offset by the

impact of streamlining the

business portfolio, as

last year’s period included

the $2.2 billion book gain

related to the

completion of the divestment

of the Mechanical Power

Transmission

division.

Operational EBITA

Significant contribution

from successful price

management and

good operational execution

of increased volumes

were key drivers

to the improvement

in Operational EBITA.

The strong price

execution more than offset

inflationary impacts in commodities,

freight and labor.

Selling, general and administrative

expenses

declined in relation

to revenues. The operational

improvements

more than offset

the adverse impact from changes

in exchange

rates, resulting in an

Operational EBITA of

$1,146 million, an

increase of 16% (28%

local currency) year-on-year.

Operational

EBITA in Corporate

and Other improved by

$36 million

to -$72 million.

Net finance expenses

Net finance expense

was $1 million compared

with $26 million a

year ago. The primary

driver for the unusually

low quarterly amount

was a reversal of interest

charges related to

income tax risks.

Income tax

Income tax expense

was $29 million with an effective

tax rate of

2.4%, including approximately

20% impact from a release

valuation allowances

on deferred tax assets

due mainly to an

improved business

performance in the US, as

well as

approximately 3% impact

from a favorable resolution

of certain prior

year tax matters.

Net income and earnings

per share

Net income attributable

to ABB was $1,132 million

and decreased by

57%, as the last year period

included the book gain

on the

divestment of the

Mechanical Power Transmission

division. This

resulted in basic earnings

per share of $0.61,

a decline from $1.34

last year.

Earnings

ABB

INTERIM

REPORT

2022

Net working capital

amounted to $3,216 million,

increasing

year-on-year from $2,303

million but declining sequentially

from $3,407 million. The sequential

decrease reflects the

total impact from higher

trade payables and other current

liabilities offset

by the increase in receivables

triggered by

high revenue growth and

higher inventories.

That said,

inventory volumes

declined sequentially,

however changes

in exchange rates inflated

the total.

Net working capital as a

percentage of revenues

was 11.1%.

Capital expenditures

Purchases of property,

plant and equipment and

intangible

assets amounted to

$259 million.

Net debt

amounted to $2,779 million

at the end of the

quarter,

and increased from a net

cash position of $98 million,

year-on-year.

Sequentially,

it declined from $4,117

million,

mainly due to the $1.4

billion net proceeds received

from the

sale of our remaining

19.9% equity stake in

the Hitachi

Energy joint venture

in December.

Cash flows

Cash flow from operating

activities was $687

million and

declined year-on-year

from $1,020 million. An

improvement in

underlying operational

performance was more

than offset by a

lower reduction in net

working capital, mainly

due to the

increase in trade receivables

and a less favorable

timing of

payments of trade payables,

despite stronger inventory

management. In addition,

the current quarter

was adversely

impacted by the

cash outflow from the earlier

announced Kusile

settlement

of approximately $315 million,

while the prior year

included approximately

$300 million cash paid for

income taxes

related to the sale of

the Mechanical Power Transmission

business.

Share buyback program

ABB launched a new

share buyback program

of up to $3 billion

on April 1, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022,

we have returned

approximately $0.5

billion (approximately 18

million shares) in

excess of the planned

return of the Power Grids

proceeds,

which were fully

returned during the third

quarter.

During the

fourth quarter,

10,320,000 shares were

repurchased on the

second trading line

for approximately $300

million. The total

number of ABB Ltd’s

issued shares is 1,964,745,075

after the

Orders and revenues

Demand was stable

or improved in most customer

segments

year-on-year,

except for in residential

building.

Order intake

amounted to $3,565

million and including the adverse

impact

from changes in exchange

rates it declined by 2%

(up 6%

comparable).

●

Customer activity in

the Americas was very

strong driven by

the US order increase

of 25%, year-on-year.

Order intake in

Europe and Asia,

Middle East and Africa declined

by 17%

and 14% respectively,

but the comparable drop

of 4% in both

regions was materially

softer. As the

quarter progressed,

business activity

in China was increasingly

hampered by the

intensifying Covid-related

situation.

●

A smooth supply chain

supported order backlog deliveries,

solid current demand

in the flow-business and

strong price

execution all contributed

to the high revenue growth

of 6%

(16% comparable)

to $3,663 million. The positive

development was broad

across the divisions.

●

Division Smart Building

has decided to exit

its emergency

lighting business as

the strategic fit with energy

distribution

and home & building automation

is limited. This business

generates revenues

of approximately $160 million,

and the

divestment process

will be initiated in the coming

months.

●

Just after the close

of the fourth quarter,

an agreement was

signed to divest the

Power Conversion division

for $505 million in

cash. The deal is expected

to close in the second half

of 2023.

●

As from the first

quarter 2023 and in preparation

of a planned

separate listing, the

E-mobility division will no

longer be reported

as part of Electrification,

but as a sub-segment

in Corporate and

other.

Profit

By leveraging on high

comparable growth, the

Operational EBITA

increased by 13%,

significantly offsetting

the adverse impacts from

changes in exchange

rates. Operational EBITA

margin improved by

90 basis points to 15.7%,

despite a slightly negative

divisional and

geographical mix in

revenues.

●

Benefits from a strong

price execution were

a key driver to the

earnings improvement

and more than offset

year-on-year cost

increases related to

raw materials, freight and

labor.

●

Strong execution of

increased volumes improved

cost absorption

in production overall.

●

The higher volumes

and pricing more than offset

a somewhat

adverse divisional mix

triggered by higher system

-related

deliveries as Distribution

Solutions executed the order

backlog,

as well as some

margin pressure related to

lower volumes in

parts of the high

REPORT

2022

Orders and revenues

Order intake amounted

to $1,649 million and declined

by 11%

(0% comparable). The

development was hampered

by fewer

project orders received

although the product business

improved at a mid-single

digit rate.

●

Orders in Europe declined

by 26% (15% comparable)

from a high comparable

last year when a large Traction

order was booked.

The Americas declined

by 7% (up 5%

comparable) supported

primarily by the drives business,

which more than offset

a somewhat weaker momentum

the US motor business.

Asia, Middle East and Africa

had

the strongest momentum

at 5% (16% comparable)

including China at a

low single-digit growth rate.

Momentum in China

was somewhat impacted by

the

intensified Covid-related

situation.

●

Solid execution of the

order backlog contributed

to the

strong volume growth

in revenues which in total

improved

by 6% (20% comparable).

Comparable growth was

the

strongest in the syste

ms-related business.

Profit

Strong operational

execution of increased volume

and

pricing triggered a 130

basis point improvement

in the

Operational EBITA

margin to 17.4%. Business

performance

strongly outweighed

the adverse changes in exchange

rates, resulting in earnings

increase of 14% (26% in

local

currency).

●

Strong pricing contributed

materially to comparable

growth, and more than

offset the adverse impacts

from

cost inflation in commodities

and labor.

●

An improved supply

chain facilitated volumes

being

released from the order

backlog which triggered

improved

cost absorption in production,

year-on-year.

Orders and revenues

Robust customer activity

supported a solid order

momentum in

all divisions on a comparable

basis, although this

was more

than offset by changes

in exchange rates and business

portfolio

which resulted in a

total order decline

of 8% (up 11%

comparable).

●

Customer activity was

particularly strong in marine

& ports,

mining and refining

and renewables, but held up

well also for

oil & gas, pulp & paper,

water & wastewater and power

generation. Slightly

softer momentum was

noted in metals,

where customers seemingly

are concerned about

elevated

energy prices. Service

orders decreased by

21% (up 4

comparable) with the

total order decline weighed

down

primarily by portfolio changes

on the back of the spin

-off of

Accelleron.

●

The growth engine

for orders was the Americas

which

improved by 11%

(22%

comparable). Europe declined

by 9%

(up 15%

comparable).

Asia, Middle East and

Africa dropped

by 21% (2% comparable),

impacted by a high comparable

due to a larger order

booked last year.

In China, only a slight

slow-down in business

activity due to the escalating

Covid-

related situation was noted

towards the end of the quarter.

●

There was a good flow

of customer deliveries in virtually

all

divisions, although

revenue growth declined

in total by 14%

(up 6% comparable) hampered

by the very high base level

last year’s quarter,

changes in exchange rates

as well as the

absence of the exited

Accelleron business

in the fourth

quarter 2022.

Profit

Through improved

operational performance

in virtually all

divisions the business

area managed to almost

fully offset the

adverse margin impact

stemming from the exit

of the high-

margin Accelleron

business,

resulting in an Operational

EBITA

margin of 13.2%.

●

Gross margin improvement

was the main contributor

to strong

operational performance

supported by growth

in the digital

businesses and better

project execution.

The now exited Accelleron

business supported last

year’s

margin by 160 basis points.

INTERIM

REPORT

2022

Orders and revenues

Following a period

of elevated order levels

when customers

pre-ordered in response

to a strained supply chain,

growth in

the fourth quarter was

impacted by a normalization

of order

patterns in anticipation

of shorter delivery lead

times. Order

intake

declined by 27% (19% comparable).

●

The order decline from

a very high comparable

last year was

significant in the

Machine Automation division,

while Robotics

reported a virtually

stable development for

comparable

orders.

●

There were positive

developments

in the automotive and

electronics segments.

The adverse impact from

the order

normalization pattern

was predominantly noted in

the

machine builder

segment but also to some

extent in general

industry and areas

of food and beverage, pharmaceuticals

well as consumer packaged

goods.

●

Order intake declined

in all regions at a double-digit

rate,

hampered by the broad

adverse development in

Machine

Automation.

●

Improved access to

components supported

a release of

volumes from the order

backlog resulting in the

high revenue

growth of 12% (23% comparable),

with strong contribution

from both divisions.

The order backlog of $2.7

billion

facilitates near-term revenue

generation.

Profit

Operational EBITA

doubled year

-on-year and amounted

$125 million, supported

by higher production output

which

triggered a 590 basis

point margin improvement

to 14.0%.

●

Significantly higher

volumes in production improved

cost

absorption and were

the main driver in the strong

earnings increase.

●

Contribution from strong

price development

more than

offset cost inflation

in commodities and labor.

●

Earnings benefitted

from a slight positive product

mix

impact stemming from higher

share of revenues from

the

high margin product

business.

Quarterly highlights

●

ABB is working with Boliden,

the Swedish mining and

smelting company,

to build a strategic co-operation

to use

low carbon footprint

copper in its electromagnetic

stirring

(EMS) equipment and

high-efficiency electric

motors. The

aim is to reduce

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

while

driving the transition

to a more circular economy

●

ABB has been selected

to deliver the shaft generator

system with permanent

magnet technology for the

first

dedicated CO

-storage vessels

ever to be built. Due for

delivery in 2024,

the two vessels will support

the Northern

Lights carbon capture

and storage (CCS) project

transporting greenhouse

gas from industrial emitters to

onshore terminal in

Øygarden, Norway.

From there, the

will be delivered

by pipeline to dedicated

reservoirs

2,600 meters under

the seabed in the North

Sea for

permanent storage.

●

ABB launched in

December its new Abilities campaign

internally,

with a focus on supporting

employees with

physical, mental or

cognitive and emotional

challenges so

that they have equal access

to resources that can empower

them in their professional

and personal lives.

●

Every year,

the Society of Women

Engineers (SWE)

organizes the world’s

largest conference for

women in

engineering and

technology.

The conference took place

Houston, Texas,

at the end of October

and brought

together over 16,000

attendees from around

the world.

ABB is proud to be

a part of SWE’s Corporate

Partnership

Council, which annually

sponsors over 120 employees

with

global SWE memberships,

and subsequently supports

SWE’s mission

towards gender parity in

the workplace, a

goal that aligns closely

with ABB’s own strategy

for diversity

& inclusion.

Story of the quarter

●

The Energy Efficiency

Movement, which counts

ABB as a

member, published

the “Industrial energy efficiency

playbook” including 10

actions that a business

can take to

improve its energy

efficiency,

reduce energy costs and

lower emissions. Industry

is the world’s largest

consumer

of electricity,

natural gas and coal,

according to the IEA,

accounting for 42%

of total electricity demand.

This

energy consumption carries

high costs in the current

inflationary environment.

The Movement’s

recommendations range

from carrying out energy

audits

to right-sizing industrial

machines that are often

too big

for the job at hand,

which wastes energy.

Moving data

from on-site servers and

into the cloud could help

save

around 90%

of the energy consumed

by IT systems.

Speeding up the

transition from fossil fuels,

by electrifying

industrial fleets switching

gas boilers to heat pumps

using well-maintained

heat exchangers will also

offer

efficiencies.

Q4 outcome

●

54% reduction of CO

₂

e emissions in own operations

mainly by

shifting to green electricity and

a reduction of sulfur hexafluoride

gas (SF6) emissions in our operations

●

29% year-on-year decrease

in LTIFR due

to a decrease in

incidents in absolute numbers.

●

1.5%-points increase in share of women

in senior management,

demonstrating progress towards

our target.

During Q4 2022

●

On December 28, ABB announced

it had completed the

previously announced

divestment to Hitachi, Ltd.

(Hitachi) of

its remaining 19.9

equity stake in the Hitachi

Energy joint

venture that was

formed from ABB’s Power

Grids business in

2020, with Hitachi holding

a stake of 80.1%. Through

the

divestment, ABB has

realized a net positive

cash inflow of

approximately $1.4

billion in the fourth quarter

2022.

●

On December

2, ABB announced that

it had reached a full

and final settlement

with the National Director

of Public

Prosecution in South

Africa, the U.S. Department

Justice, the U.S. Securities

and Exchange Commission,

and the Office of

the Attorney General of

Switzerland

related to the legacy

Kusile project in South Africa,

awarded

in 2015. The settlements

total approximately $32

million

primarily accounted

for in ABB’s third quarter

2022 financial

results and include

the expected exposure to

the German

case.

●

On October 3, ABB announce

that Accelleron Industries

AG (formerly ABB Turbocharging)

had

started trading on

SIX Swiss Exchange

in Zurich, marking the

completion of

Accelleron’s spin

-off from ABB.

After Q4 2022

●

On January 20, ABB announced

it had reached an agreement

to sell its Power

Conversion division to AcBel

Polytech Inc. for

$505 million in cash.

The transaction is subject

to regulatory

approvals and is expected

to be completed in the second

half

of 2023. Upon closing,

ABB expects to record a

small non-

operational book

gain in Income from operations

on the sale.

●

On February 1, ABB announced

its E-mobility business

had

signed an agreement

with four minority investors to

raise an

additional CHF325 million

in funds in exchange

for

approximately 12%

shareholding in the company.

The

transaction represents

the final part of ABB E-mobility

’s pre-

IPO funding tranche

through newly issued shares

Through the

private placement,

a total of approximately

CHF525 million has

been raised for approximately

20% shareholding in

ABB’s E-

mobility,

which will be used to continue

the execution of its

growth strategy,

driven by both organic

and M&A investments

in hardware and software.

●

On February 2, ABB announced

the nomination of Denise C.

Johnson, group president

of Caterpillar Inc, as a new

member

for election at the company’s

upcoming Annual General

Meeting (AGM) on March

23, 2023. At the same time,

current

member Satish Pai

will step down from the

Board.

In 2022, demand for

ABB’s offering increased

strongly year-

on-year, supported

by most customer segments

and across

all regions. Orders

amounted to $33,988

million and improved

by 7% (16% comparable).

Revenues amounted

to $29,446 million up

by 2% (12%

comparable), year-on-year.

Customer deliveries were

impacted by component

constraints in the first half,

but

shortages progressively

eased throughout the

year. As a

result, the book-to-bill ratio

amounted to 1.15 in 2022.

Income from operations

amounted to $3,337 million

down

from $5,718 million

in the year-earlier period. Results

in 2022

included a charge triggered

by the exit of the legacy

full-train

retrofit business

in non-core operations as

well as a provision

related to the legacy

Kusile project in South Africa

awarded in

2015. Results in 2021

included a book gain

of $2.2 billion

related to the divestment

of the Mechanical Power

Transmission

business.

Operational EBITA

improved by 9%

year-on-year to

$4,510 million and

the Operational EBITA

margin increased

110

basis points to 15.3%, achieving

the margin target of at

least 15% already one

year earlier than expected.

Performance

was driven by the positive

impacts from strong pricing

execution

and higher volumes,

which more than offset

cost inflation in raw

materials, freight and

labor. Additionally,

Corporate and Other

Operational EBITA

improved by $169

million to -$169 million,

partly due to higher

real estate gains and a better

non-core

result.

The net finance expenses

declined $39 million to $58

million,

roughly offsetting

the decline in non-operational

pension credits

of $51 million to $115

million compared to the

same period last

year.

Income tax expense

was $757 million with a

tax rate of

22.3%, including approximately

3% net adverse impact

primarily related

to adverse impacts from non-deductible

non-operational charges

as well as a positive impact

to a release of a valuation

allowance on deferred tax

assets

due to the

improved business performance

mainly related

to the US.

Net income attributable

to ABB was $2,475 million

and

decreased by 46%.

Basic earnings per share

was $1.30

and decreased by 43%.

Both measures were adversely

impacted by the

charges triggered by the exit

of the legacy

full-train retrofit business

in non-core operations

as well as

the provision related

to the legacy Kusile project and

include

a book gain related

to the divestment of the

Mechanical

Power Transmission

business in 2021.

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, 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:

●

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 used to record expected costs for employee severance

in connection with restructuring programs,

●

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,

●

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.

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

prospectively.

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 subsequent updates issued during

January 2021 and December 2022, can be adopted and applied

no later than December 31, 2024, with early

adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt

this update during the second half of 2023 and does

not expect this update to have a significant impact on its consolidated

financial statements.

Disclosure about supplier finance program obligations

In September 2022, an accounting standard update was issued which

requires entities to disclose information related to supplier

finance programs. Under the

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

terms of the program, (ii) the amount of the supplier

finance obligations outstanding and where

those obligations are presented in the balance sheet at the reporting

date, and (iii) a rollforward of the supplier finance obligation

program within the reporting

period. This update is effective for the Company

retrospectively for all in-scope transactions for annual periods

beginning January 1, 2023, with the exception

the rollforward disclosures,

which are effective prospectively for annual periods

beginning January 1, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company

does not

expect this update to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial

statements.

The total outstanding supplier finance obligation included

in “Accounts

payable, trade” in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31,

2022, amounted to $477 million.

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

was deemed to have

been both divested and reacquired at its fair value on July

1, 2020.

The Company also obtained a put option, exercisable

with three-months’ notice commencing in

April 2023. The combined fair value of the retained investment

and the related put option amounted to $1,779 million

and was recorded as both an equity-method

investment and as part of the proceeds for the sale of the

entire Power Grids business (see Note 4).

In connection with 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. In October 2021, the Company

and Hitachi concluded an agreement to settle the various amounts

owing by the Company.

The

net difference between the agreed amounts and the amounts

initially estimated by the Company was recorded

in 2021 in discontinued operations as an

adjustment to “Change to net gain recognized on sale

of the Power Grids business” in the table below.

During the year and three months ended December

31,

2022, total cash payments of $102 million (excluding payments

related to the guarantees, see Note 10), and $11

million, respectively, were made

in connection

with these liabilities. During the year and three months ended

December 31, 2021, total cash payments (including the amounts

paid under the settlement

agreement) of $364 million and $281 million, respectively,

were made in connection with these liabilities.

At December 31, 2022, the remaining amount recorded

was $53 million.

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

year and three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company

has recognized within its continuing operations, general

and administrative expenses incurred to

perform the TSAs, offset by $162 million and $47

million, respectively, in TSA-related

income for such services that is reported in Other income

(expense), net.

the year and three months ended December 31, 2021,

Other income (expense) included $173 million

and $46 million, respectively, of

TSA-related income for such

services.

Discontinued operations

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

all Power Grids-related assets and liabilities 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 operations for this business have been

presented as

discontinued operations and the assets and liabilities are presented

as held for sale and in discontinued operations

for all periods presented. Certain of the

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 year

ended December 31, 2022, relate primarily to the acquisition of InCharge

Energy, Inc. (In-Charge)

and in the year ended December 31, 2021, relate primarily

the acquisition of ASTI Mobile Robotics Group (ASTI).

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.

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

In-Charge to a 60 percent controlling interest

through a stock purchase agreement. In-Charge

headquartered in Santa Monica, USA, and is a provider of

turn-key commercial electric vehicle charging hardware and

software solutions. The resulting cash

outflows for the Company amounted to $134

million (net of cash acquired of $4 million). The acquisition

expands the market presence of the E-mobility

Division of

its Electrification operating segment,

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),

net” in the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company entered into an agreement with the remaining noncontrolling

shareholders allowing either 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.

On August 2, 2021, the Company acquired the shares

of ASTI. ASTI is headquartered in Burgos, Spain, and

is a global autonomous mobile robot (AMR)

manufacturer. The resulting cash outflows

for the Company amounted to $186 million (net of cash

acquired). The acquisition expands the Company’s

robotics and

automation offering in its Robotics & Discrete Automation

operating segment.

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.

FINANCIAL

INFORMATION

Business divestments and spin-offs

On September 7, 2022, the shareholders approved the spin-off

of the Company’s Turbocharging Division

into an independent, publicly traded company,

Accelleron

Industries AG (Accelleron), which was completed through the

distribution of common stock of Accelleron to the stockholders

of ABB on October 3, 2022. As a

result of the spin-off of this Division, the Company distributed

net assets of $272 million, net of amounts

attributable to noncontrolling interests of $12 million,

which

was reflected as a reduction in Retained earnings. In addition,

total accumulated comprehensive income of $95

million, including the cumulative translation

adjustment, was reclassified to Retained earnings. Cash and cash

equivalents distributed with Accelleron was $172 million.

The results of operations of the Turbocharging Division,

are included in the continuing operations of the Process

Automation operating segment for all periods

presented through to the spin-off date. In the year

and three months ended December 31, 2022,

“Income continuing operations before taxes”,

included income of

$134 million and $1 million, respectively,

from this Division. In the year and three months ended

December 31, 2021, “Income continuing operations

before taxes”,

included income of $186 million and $53 million, respectively,

from this Division. In anticipation of the spin-off,

the Company granted to a subsidiary of

Accelleron

access to funds in the form of a short-term intercompany

loan.

At the spin-off date, this loan,

having a principal amount of 300 million Swiss

francs ($306 million at

the date of spin-off), was due to ABB and subsequently

collected in October 2022.

In the year and three months ended December 31, 2021,

the Company received proceeds (net of transactions

costs and cash disposed) of $2,958 million and

$2,865 million, respectively, relating to

divestments of consolidated businesses and recorded gains of

$2,193 million and $2,184 million, respectively

in “Other

income (expense), net” on the sales of such businesses.

These are primarily due to the divestment of the Company’s

Mechanical Power Transmission Division

(Dodge) to RBC Bearings Inc. Certain amounts included in

the net gain for the sale of the Dodge business

are estimated or otherwise subject to change in value

and, as a result, the Company may record additional adjustments

to the gain in future periods which are not expected to have

a material impact on the

consolidated financial statements. In the year and three months

ended December 31, 2021, “Income from continuing operations

before taxes”, included net income

of $115 million and $9 million, respectively,

from the Dodge business which, prior to its sale was

part of the Company’s Motion operating segment.

Investments in equity-accounted companies

In connection with the divestment of its Power Grids business

to Hitachi in 2020 (see Note 3), the Company

retained a 19.9 percent interest in the business.

For

accounting purposes the 19.9 percent interest was deemed to

have been both divested and reacquired, with a fair

value at the transaction date of $1,661 million.

The fair value was based on a discounted cash flow model

considering the expected results of the future business operations

of Hitachi Energy and using relevant

market inputs including a risk-adjusted weighted-average cost

of capital.

The Company also 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. This option was

initially valued at $118 million using

a standard option pricing model with inputs considering the

nature of the investment and the expected period until

option

exercise. As this option is not separable from the investment the

value has been combined with the value of the underlying investment

and is accounted for

together. Hitachi also

received a call option requiring the Company

to sell the remaining 19.9 percent interest in Hitachi

Energy at any time at a price consistent

with what was paid by Hitachi to acquire the initial 80.1 percent

or at fair value, if higher.

In September 2022, the Company and Hitachi agreed terms to sell

the Company’s remaining investment in Hitachi

Energy to Hitachi and simultaneously settle

certain outstanding contractual obligations relating to the initial sale

of the Power Grids business, including certain

indemnification guarantees (see Note 10).

The

sale of the remaining investment was completed in December 2022,

resulting in net cash proceeds of $1,552

million and a gain of $43 million which was recorded

in “Other income (expense), net”.

In July 2020, the Company concluded that based on its continuing

involvement with the Power Grids business, including

the membership in its governing board of

directors, it had significant influence over Hitachi Energy.

As a result, the investment (including the value

of the option) was accounted for using the equity method

through the date of its sale in December 2022.

The carrying value of the Company’s investments in equity-accounted

companies and respective percentage of ownership

is as follows:

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

interest rate derivatives (whether designated as

hedges or not) were as follows:

primarily copper, silver 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:

At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company held 8 million

and 9 million cash-settled call options indexed to

ABB Ltd shares (conversion ratio 5:1) with a total

fair value of $15 million and $29 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 year and three months ended December

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 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 valuati

on 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”:

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

for observable price changes.

The Company reassesses at each reporting period whether these

investments continue to qualify for this treatment. Durin

the year ended December 31, 2022

and 2021,

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

net”, net fair value gains of $52 million and

$108 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 of which net loss of $4 million and

net gain of $2 million were recognized in the three months

ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The fair values were determined using Level

inputs. The carrying values of these investments, carried

at fair value on a non-recurring basis, at December

31, 2022 and 2021,

totaled $106 million and

$169 million, respectively.

Apart from the transactions above, there were no additional significant

non-recurring fair value measurements during the

year ended December 31, 2022 and

2021.

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, 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).

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

In addition to the amounts

presented as Contract liabilities in the table above, $59 million

are non-current and are included in Other non-current liabilities

in the Balance Sheet.

due 2028,

and the 4.375% USD Notes,

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 bonds, due 2027

with a coupon of 0.75 percent 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 the date

of issuance).

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

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 Instruments, 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). Interest rate swaps have been used

to modify the characteristics of the EUR 700 million

Instruments, due 2024. After considering the impact of these interest

rate swaps, these Instruments effectively become floati

ng rate obligations.

In October 2022, the Company issued the following CHF bonds: (i)

CHF 150 million of 2.1

percent bonds, due 2025, and (ii) CHF

150 million of 2.375 percent

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

and in December 2022 this matter was closed without action

by the DOJ as part of the Kusile settlement.

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

made a provision of 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. The matter is still

pending with the authorities in Germany,

but 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had aggregate

liabilities of $86 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

scenario”, and do not reflect management’s expected

outcomes.

Maximum potential payments include amounts in both continuing and discontinued operations.

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 December 31,

2022 and 2021, amounted to $1 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the

maximum potential payable under these

guarantees amounts to $843 million and $911

million, respectively, and

these guarantees have various maturities ranging from five to

ten years.

The Company retained obligations for financial, performance

and indemnification guarantees related to the sale of the

Power Grids business (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, (increasing

from 80.1 percent at December 31, 2021, to 100 percent at December

31, 2022). 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 these guarantees at December 31, 2022 and 2021,

is approximately $3.0 billion and

$3.2 billion, respectively. On completing

the sale of the Company’s remaining 19.9

percent interest in Hitachi Energy to Hitachi,

the Company also settled certain

existing indemnification guarantees that were due to be settled concurrent

with such transaction. As a result, in the year and

three months ended December 31,

2022, the Company recorded $136 million of cash outflows for

the settlement of these liabilities (recorded in discontinued

operations).

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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the total outstanding performance

bonds aggregated to $2.9 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively

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 year and three months ended December 31,

2022 and 2021.

reversed a provision of $61 million it had previously

recorded relating to one of its divested

businesses based on a settlement proposal issued by the ruling court

As the provision related to a customer contractual obligation,

the adjustment was reported

as an increase in Sales of products and resulted in an increase

in earnings per share (basic and diluted) of $0.03 for both the

year and three months ended

December 31, 2022.

In addition, as this amount relates

to a divested business, it has been excluded from the Company’s

Income taxes

The effective tax rate of 22.3 percent in year ended December

31, 2022, was higher than the effective tax

rate of 18.3 percent in the same period in 2021, primarily

because 2021 includes a non-taxable gain in connection with

the sale of the Dodge business while 2022 included

impacts of changes in valuation allowances

primarily a positive impact from a reversal of a valuation allowance

in the Americas for $208 million (recorded in the fourth

quarter) offset partially by the negative

impact of non-deductible regulatory penalties in connection with the

Kusile project.

Employee benefits

The Company operates defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution

in accordance with local regulations

and practices. At December

31, 2022, the Company’s most significant

defined benefit pension plans are in Switzerland as well as

in Germany, the United

Kingdom, and the United States. These plans cover a large portion

of the Company’s employees and

provide benefits to employees in the event of death,

disability, retirement, or termination of

employment. Certain of these plans are multi-employer

plans. The Company also operates other postretirement benefit

plans including postretirement health care benefits and other

employee-related benefits for active employees including

long-service award plans. The

measurement date used for the Company’s employee benefit

plans is December 31. The funding policies of the Company’s

plans are consistent with the local

government and tax requirements.

Stockholder's

equity

At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) on March

24, 2022, shareholders approved the proposal of the

Board of Directors to distribute 0.82

Swiss

francs per share to shareholders. The declared dividend amounted

to $1,700 million, with the Company disburs

ing a portion in March and the remaining amounts

in April.

In March 2022, the Company completed the share buyback

program that was launched in April 2021. This program was executed

on a second trading line on the

SIX Swiss Exchange. Through this program, the Company purchased

a total of 90 million shares for approximately

$3.1 billion, of which 31 million shares were

purchased in the first quarter of 2022 (resulting in an

increase in Treasury stock of $1,089 million).

At the 2022 AGM, shareholders approved the cancellation

88 million shares which had been purchased under the share buyback

programs launched in July 2020 and April 2021.

The cancellation was completed in the

second quarter of 2022, resulting

in a decrease in Treasury stock

of $2,876 million and a corresponding total decrease in Capital stock,

Additional paid-in capital

and Retained Earnings.

Also in March 2022, the Company announced a new share buyback

program of up to $3 billion. This program, which was

launched in April 2022, is being executed

on a second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange and is planned

to run until the Company’s 2023 AGM. Through

this program, the Company purchased, from

the program’s launch in April 2022 to December 31,

2022, 60 million shares, resulting in an increase in Treasury

stock of $1,753 million.

In addition to the share buyback programs, the Company

purchased 20 million of its own shares on the open market

in 2022, mainly for use in connection with

its

employee share plans, resulting in an increase in Treasury

stock of $660 million.

In 2022, the Company delivered, out of treasury stock,

16 million shares in connection with its Management Incentive Plan.

In November 2022, the Company received gross proceeds

of 203 million Swiss francs ($216 million) through

a private placement of shares in its ABB E-Mobility

subsidiary, ABB E-mobility Holding Ltd

(ABB E-Mobility),

reducing the Company's

beneficial ownership in the subsidiary from 100 percent to 92 percent. This

resulted in an increase in Additional paid-in capital of $120 million.

Subsequent event

In January 2023, the Company signed an agreement to increase

the amount of funding raised through the private placement

of shares in ABB E-mobility,

increasing the total funding by an additional 325 million Swiss

francs. The transaction is scheduled to be closed in the beginning

of February 2023 and, after

completion of this transaction, the Company will have a beneficial

ownership in ABB E-Mobility of 81 percent.

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

Note 17

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 networks.

The products and services are

delivered through seven operating Divisions: Distribution Solutions,

Smart Power, Smart Buildings, E-Mobility,

Installation Products, Power Conversion

and 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.

Q4 2022

FINANCIAL

INFORMATION

●

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 and Measurement

& Analytics,

as well as, prior to its spin-off in October 2022, the Turbocharging

Division (Accelleron).

●

Robotics & Discrete Automation:

delivers its products, solutions and services

through two operating Divisions: Robotics and Machine Automation.

Robotics includes industrial robots, autonomous mobile robotics,

software, robotic solutions, 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 year and three months

ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, as well as

total assets

at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

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

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/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.

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.

EBITA to Net Income and Operational

INFORMATION

Return on Capital employed (ROCE)

Definition

Return on Capital employed (ROCE)

Return on Capital employed is calculated as Operational EBITA

after tax, divided by the average of the period’s

opening and closing Capital employed,

adjusted to

reflect impacts from the timing of significant acquisitions/divestments

occurring during the period.

Capital employed

Capital employed is calculated as the sum of Adjusted total fixed

assets and Net working capital (as defined above).

Adjusted total fixed assets

Adjusted total fixed assets is the sum of (i) property,

plant and equipment, net, (ii) goodwill, (iii) other

intangible assets, net, (iv) investments in equity-accounted

companies,

and (v) operating lease right-of-use assets,

less (vi) deferred tax liabilities recognized in certain

acquisitions.

Notional tax on Operational EBITA

The Notional tax on Operational EBITA

is computed using the adjusted group effective tax

rate multiplied by Operational EBITA.

Adjusted Group effective tax rate

The Adjusted Group effective tax rate is computed by

dividing an adjusted income tax expense by an

adjusted pre-tax income. Certain amounts recorded

income before taxes and the related income tax expense (primarily

due to gains and losses from sale of businesses

and in 2022, regulatory penalties in connection

with the Kusile project)

are removed from the reported amounts when computing

these adjusted amounts. Certain other amounts recorded in

income tax expense

are also excluded from the computation to determine the Adjusted

Group effective tax rate.
