GE Vernova raises multi-year financial outlook, doubles dividend and increases buyback authorization

Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA margin financial

Adjusted EBITDA margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core operations, expressed as a percentage of its total revenue, after removing certain one-time or unusual expenses and income. It helps investors understand the company's true earning ability from regular business activities, making it easier to compare performance over time or with other companies. Think of it as measuring the efficiency of a business in turning sales into profits, excluding irregular adjustments.

free cash flow financial

Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.

organic revenue financial

Organic revenue is the sales a company generates from its regular business activities after stripping out extra effects like revenue added or lost from buying or selling other businesses and from currency swings. Think of it as measuring how much a store’s own customers increased spending, not growth from opening new stores or temporary price moves; investors use it to judge the true strength and sustainability of a company’s core demand.

segment EBITDA margin financial

Segment EBITDA margin measures how much profit a particular business unit or product line generates from its own revenue after subtracting the direct operating costs, but before interest, taxes and certain accounting charges. Think of it like the share of each dollar from one shop in a chain that remains after paying the shop’s day-to-day expenses; investors use it to compare efficiency across parts of a company and to judge which units drive value or pose risk.

non-GAAP financial measures financial

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

remaining performance obligation (RPO) financial

The remaining performance obligation (RPO) is the value of goods or services a company has contractually promised to deliver in the future but has not yet completed. Think of it as a confirmed backlog or a prepaid order book: it shows revenue that’s likely to flow in later periods and gives investors a clearer view of near-term sales visibility, revenue sustainability, and potential fulfillment or timing risks.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV), a unique industry leader enabling customers to accelerate the energy transition, today hosts its 2025 Investor Update event to present its 2026 financial guidance and update its outlook by 2028, as well as provide commentary on key longer-term trends.

“At GE Vernova, we are in the early chapters of an incredible value creation opportunity with a stronger financial trajectory ahead,” said GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik. “Electric power will be critical to unlocking economic growth in the decades ahead and we are well-positioned with our large installed base and platform of advanced solutions to serve this growing, long-cycle market. We will deliver value in the short term, but I’m most excited about our long-term potential as we focus on value-accretive capital allocation to drive growth and innovation while delivering shareholder returns. We are executing efficiently, and there is more to come as we enter 2026 with significant momentum.”

“We are executing our financial strategy, and we now expect to generate at least $22 billion in cumulative free cash flow by 2028,” said GE Vernova CFO Ken Parks. “Our large and growing backlog, with healthy margins from services and better equipment pricing, is furthering our momentum into 2026 and driving our increased outlook by 2028. We remain committed to maintaining an investment grade balance sheet as we make organic investments, pursue targeted M&A, and return at least one third of cash generation to shareholders through our higher dividend and increased share repurchase program.”

We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures expectations and the corresponding GAAP financial measure for free cash flow* in the 2025 and 2026 guidance and outlook for cumulative free cash flow* from 2025 through 2028 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of timing for capital expenditures.

2025 and 2026 Guidance: Power and Electrification organic revenue*
We cannot provide a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures expectations and the corresponding GAAP financial measure of Power and Electrification organic revenue* for 2025 and 2026 without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of foreign exchange rates.
