division Our key to success Peter Smits Safe Harbor Statement This presentation includes forward-looking information and statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about global economic conditions, the economic conditions of the regions and industries that are major markets for ABB Ltd. and ABB Ltd's lines of business. These expectations, estimates and projections are generally identifiable by statements containing words such as "expects", "believes", "estimates" or similar expressions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expectations include, among others, economic and market conditions in the geographic areas and industries that are major markets for abb's businesses, market acceptance of new products and services, changes in governmental regulations, interest rates, and fluctuation in currency exchange rates. Although ABB Ltd. believes that its expectations reflected in any such forward looking statement are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that those expectations will be achieved. 2 Outline o Business overview o Strategy o Targets o Operational priorities o Conclusions 3 Scope of Power Technologies ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Photographs] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- High Voltage Medium Voltage Power Distribution Utility Power Systems Products Products Transformers Transformers Automation Systems -------------------- --------------------- ---------------- ----------------- ------------------ --------------- o ABB is the world's no. 1 in power technologies o Global presence with about 42,000 employees in more than 70 countries 4 Business overview -------------------------- ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues split by Business Area -------------------------- ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12% Distribution Transformers (PTDT) o Products and services for power distribution and special applications up to 72,5 kV -------------------------- ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14% Medium Voltage Products (PTMV) o Products, modular solutions and service for power distribution from 1 to 50 kV -------------------------- ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15% Power Transformers (PTPT) o Power transformers, service and associated products from 72,5 to 1150 kV -------------------------- ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17% Utility Automation Systems (PTUA) o Power plant controls, network management, substation automation, water automation -------------------------- ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18% High Voltage Products (PTHV) o Products, modular solutions and service for power transmission from 50 to 800 kV -------------------------- ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 24% Power Systems (PTPS) o Transmission and distribution systems (AC & DC), substations, system retrofit, wind power -------------------------- ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9/2002 -------------------------- ------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 Business overview ------------------ -------------------- -
