    Answer

    CFO Timo Ihamuotila explained that for many products imported from Europe, there are no local U.S. alternatives, so price changes tend to affect the entire market.

    James Moore's questions to ABBNY leadership • Q3 2024

    Question

    Asked a series of strategic questions for the new CEO, including what needs to change, portfolio strategy (including a potential sale of Robotics), the breakdown of the data center business, and how the 'ABB Way' will be fine-tuned at the business line level.

    Answer

    Management detailed the data center business, highlighting strength in 'gray space' (switchgear) and 'white space' (UPS, PDUs). On strategy, the focus is on adding to the portfolio via M&A, not selling units like Robotics, whose performance they intend to improve. The 'ABB Way' will be driven deeper, applying strategic mandates (growth vs. profitability) at the business line level to increase accountability and performance.

    Question

    James Moore of Redburn Atlantic asked about the Robotics and Automation business, specifically questioning the timing of cost savings and the potential for the division to reach double-digit margins by year-end.

    Answer

    Executive Ann-Sofie Nordh explained that while cost savings have begun in the Machine Automation unit, their impact is being offset by low production volumes and resulting under-absorption. She anticipates customer inventory adjustments will conclude by the end of Q1 or early Q2, suggesting performance will remain weak in Q1. Executive Morten Wierod separately confirmed data center order growth was in the 30-40% range in Q4.

    Answer

    CFO Laurent Martinez identified two drivers for margin seasonality: more zero-percent margin sales in H1, which will weigh on the margin, and the typical acceleration of sales in H2. For Rolling Stock's strong Q1 growth, he cited a large step-up in the Americas (both North and South) and continued ramp-up of regional train projects in Continental Europe.

    Question

    James Moore asked for the completion percentage of customer settlement negotiations, the revenue phasing of the remaining challenging backlog, and a re-explanation of the EUR 199 million contract provision increase.

He noted that the trading of nonperforming projects would be slightly higher in H2 than H1.
