Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Information (unaudited) Note 1 The Company and basis of presentation ABB Ltd and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) together form a leading global company in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve their performance while lowering environmental impact. The Company works with customers to engineer and install networks, facilities and plants with particular emphasis on enhancing efficiency, reliability and productivity for customer s who generate, convert, transmit, distribute and consume energy. The Company’s Interim 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 Interim 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, 2014. 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 Interim Consolidated Financial Information. The most significant, difficult and subjective of such accounting assumptions and estimates include: - assumptions and projections, principally related to future material, labor and project-related overhead costs, used in determining the percentage-of-completion on projects, - estimates of loss contingencies associated with litigation or threatened litigation and other claims and inquiries, environmental damages, product warranties, regulatory and other proceedings, - assumptions used in the calculation of pension and postretirement benefits and the fair value of pension plan assets, - recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities (including the measurement of uncertain tax positions), - growth rates, discount rates and other assumptions used in testing goodwill for impairment, - assumptions used in determining inventory obsolescence and net realizable value, - estimates and assumptions used in determining the fair values of assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, - growth rates, discount rates and other assumptions used to determine impairment of long-lived assets, and - assessment of the allowance for doubtful accounts. 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, inventories and provisions related to these contracts which will not be realized within one year that have been classified as current. In the opinion of management, the unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Information contains all necessary adjustments to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the reported interim periods. Management considers all such adjustments to be of a normal recurring nature. The Interim Consolidated Financial Information is presented in United States dollars ($) unless otherwise stated. Certain amounts have been reclassified from Other non-current assets to Long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2014, as a result of the early adoption of an accounting standard update on the presentation of debt issuance costs (see Note 2). In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows certain amounts reported for prior periods in the Interim Consolidated Financial Information have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications were within Net cash provided by operating activities. Note 2 Recent accounting pronouncements Applicable for current periods Simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs In April 2015, an accounting standard update was issued to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. Under the update, the Company presents debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability rather than as a non-current asset. The existing recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by this accounting standard update. The Company has elected to early adopt the updated accounting standard in the second quarter of 2015. In connection with the adoption of the updated accounting standard, deferred debt issuance costs of $26 million were reclassified from "Other non-current assets" to "Long-term debt" at December 31, 2014. Applicable for future periods Revenue from contracts with customers In May 2014, an accounting standard update was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenues from contracts with customers. The update, which supersedes substantially all existing revenue recognition guidance, provides a single comprehensive model for recognizing revenues on the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. Under the standard it is possible that more judgments and estimates would be required than under existing standards, including identifying the separate performance obligations in a contract, estimating any variable consideration elements, and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The update also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. 13 Q2 2015 | Financial Information

The update is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2017, and is to be applied either (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, with the option to elect certain defined practical expedients, or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the update recognized at the date of adoption in retained earnings (with additional disclosure as to the impact on individual financial statement lines affected). On July 9, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update (which would be effective for periods beginning January 1, 2018) on its consolidated financial statements. Disclosures for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent) In May 2015, an accounting standard update was issued regarding fair value disclosures for certain investments. Under the update, the Company would no longer categorize within the fair value hierarchy investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Rather, those disclosures are limited to investments for which the Company has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. This update is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted, and is applicable retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements. Note 3 Business divestments For both the six and three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded net gains of $130 million in “Other income (expense), net” and tax expense of $69 million in “Provision for taxes”, relating to the divestment of consolidated businesses. There were no significant amounts recognized in the six and three months ended June 30, 2015. Note 4 Cash and equivalents, marketable securities and short-term investments Current assets Cash and equivalents, marketable securities and short-term investments consisted of the following: June 30, 2015 ($ in millions) Cost basis Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Fair value Cash and equivalents Marketable securities and short-term investments Cash 1,690 1,690 1,690 – Time deposits 2,360 2,360 2,242 118 Other short-term investments 235 235 – 235 Debt securities available-for-sale: U.S. government obligations 136 2 (1) 137 – 137 Other government obligations 2 – – 2 – 2 Corporate 657 3 (1) 659 22 637 Equity securities available-for-sale 95 9 – 104 – 104 Total 5,175 14 (2) 5,187 3,954 1,233 December 31, 2014 ($ in millions) Cost basis Gross unrealized gains Gross unrealized losses Fair value Cash and equivalents Marketable securities and short-term investments Cash 2,218 2,218 2,218 – Time deposits 3,340 3,340 3,140 200 Other short-term investments 225 225 – 225 Debt securities available-for-sale: U.S. government obligations 135 2 (1) 136 – 136 Other government obligations 2 – – 2 – 2 Corporate 734 4 (1) 737 85 652 Equity securities available-for-sale 98 12 – 110 – 110 Total 6,752 18 (2) 6,768 5,443 1,325 Included in Other short-term investments at June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, are receivables of $229 million and $219 million, respectively, representing reverse repurchase agreements. These collateralized lendings, made to a financial institution, have maturity dates of less than one year. Non-current assets Included in “Other non-current assets” are certain held-to-maturity marketable securities. At June 30, 2015, the amortized cost, gross unrecognized gain and fair value (based on quoted market prices) of these securities were $ 92 million, $18 million and $110 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the amortized cost, gross unrecognized gain and fair value (based on quoted market prices) of these securities were $95 million, $14 million and $109 million, respectively. These securities are pledged as security for certain outstanding deposit liabilities and the funds received at the respective maturity dates of the securities will only be available to the Company for repayment of these obligations. 14 Q2 2015 | Financial Information 

Note 5 The Company is exposed to certain currency, commodity, interest rate and equity risks arising from its global Derivative financial instruments 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 the 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 the 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 are used to manage the interest rate 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 which entitle the Company to receive amounts equivalent to its obligations under the outstanding WARs. Volume of derivative activity +n 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 The gross notional amounts of outstanding foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives (whether designated as hedges or not) were as follows: Derivative commodity contracts The following table shows the notional amounts of outstanding commodity derivatives (whether designated as hedges or not), on a net basis, to reflect the Company's requirements in the various commodities: Type of derivative Unit Total notional amounts June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 June 30, 2014 Copper swaps metric tonnes 48,941 46,520 42,080 Aluminum swaps metric tonnes 5,792 3,846 3,646 Nickel swaps metric tonnes - -- 6 Lead swaps metric tonnes 15,350 6,550 4,725 Zinc swaps metric tonnes 175 200 150 Silver swaps ounces 1,488,132 1,996,845 1,958,563 Crude oil swaps barrels 125,700 128,000 113,000 Equity derivatives At June 30, 2015, December 31, 2014, and June 30, 2014, the Company held 45 million, 61 million and 54 million cash-settled call options indexed to ABB Ltd shares (conversion ratio 5:1) with a total fair value of $16 million, $33 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. Where such instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, 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. Any ineffectiveness in the hedge relationship, or hedge component excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, is recognized in earnings during the current period. At June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" included net unrealized losses of $19 million and $21 million, respectively, net of tax, on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. Of the amount at June 30, 2015, net losses of $10 million are expected to be reclassified to earnings in the following 12 months. At 15 Q2 2015 | Financial Information

June 30, 2015, the longest maturity of a derivative classified as a cash flow hedge was 51 months. The amount of gains or losses, net of tax, reclassified into earnings due to the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting and the amount of ineffectiveness in cash flow hedge relationships directly recognized in earnings were not significant in the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The pre-tax effects of derivative instruments, designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges, on "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" (OCI) and the Consolidated Income Statements were as follows: Type of derivative designated as a cash flow hedge Six months ended June 30, 2015 Gains (losses) recognized in OCI on derivatives (effective portion) Gains (losses) reclassified from OCI into income (effective portion) Gains (losses) recognized in income (ineffective portion and amount excluded from effectiveness testing) ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Foreign exchange contracts (16) Total revenues (24) Total cost of sales 5 Total revenues - Total cost of sales - Commodity contracts (2) Total cost of sales (4) Total cost of sales - Cash-settled call options (7) SG&A expenses(1) (4) SG&A expenses(1) - Total (25) (27) - Type of derivative designated as a cash flow hedge Six months ended June 30, 2014 Gains (losses) recognized in OCI on derivatives (effective portion) Gains (losses) reclassified from OCI into income (effective portion) Gains (losses) recognized in income (ineffective portion and amount excluded from effectiveness testing) ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Foreign exchange contracts (18) Total revenues - Total cost of sales 5 Total revenues - Total cost of sales - Commodity contracts (2) Total cost of sales (2) Total cost of sales - Cash-settled call options (18) SG&A expenses(1) (8) SG&A expenses(1) - Total (38) (5) - Type of derivative designated as a cash flow hedge Three months ended June 30, 2015 Gains (losses) recognized in OCI on derivatives (effective portion) Gains (losses) reclassified from OCI into income (effective portion) Gains (losses) recognized in income (ineffective portion and amount excluded from effectiveness testing) ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Foreign exchange contracts 6 Total revenues (11) Total cost of sales - Total revenues - Total cost of sales - Commodity contracts - Total cost of sales (1) Total cost of sales - Cash-settled call options (3) SG&A expenses(1) (1) SG&A expenses(1) - Total 3 (13) - Type of derivative designated as a cash flow hedge Three months ended June 30, 2014 Gains (losses) recognized in OCI on derivatives (effective portion) Gains (losses) reclassified from OCI into income (effective portion) Gains (losses) recognized in income (ineffective portion and amount excluded from effectiveness testing) ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Foreign exchange contracts (12) Total revenues (1) Total cost of sales 2 Total revenues - Total cost of sales - Commodity contracts 2 Total cost of sales (1) Total cost of sales - Cash-settled call options (14) SG&A expenses(1) (7) SG&A expenses(1) - Total (24) (7) - (1) SG&A expenses represent "Selling, general and administrative expenses". Net derivative losses of $21 million and $5 million, both net of tax, respectively, were reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" to earnings during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, net derivative losses of $10 million and $6 million, both net of tax, respectively, were reclassified from "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" to earnings. Fair value hedges To reduce its interest rate exposure arising primarily from its debt issuance activities, the Company uses 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". Hedge ineffectiveness of instruments designated as fair value hedges for the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, was not significant. 16 Q2 2015 | Financial Information

The effect of derivative instruments, designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, on the Consolidated Income Statements was as follows: Six months ended June 30, 2015 Type of derivative designated as a fair value hedge Gains (losses) recognized in income on derivatives designated as fair value hedges Gains (losses) recognized in income on hedged item Location ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Interest rate contracts Interest and other finance expense 2 Interest and other finance expense 1 Six months ended June 30, 2014 Type of derivative designated as a fair value hedge Gains (losses) recognized in income on derivatives designated as fair value hedges Gains (losses) recognized in income on hedged item Location ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Interest rate contracts Interest and other finance expense 53 Interest and other finance expense (52) Three months ended June 30, 2015 Type of derivative designated as a fair value hedge Gains (losses) recognized in income on derivatives designated as fair value hedges Gains (losses) recognized in income on hedged item Location ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Interest rate contracts Interest and other finance expense (29) Interest and other finance expense 32 Three months ended June 30, 2014 Type of derivative designated as a fair value hedge Gains (losses) recognized in income on derivatives designated as fair value hedges Gains (losses) recognized in income on hedged item Location ($ in millions) Location ($ in millions) Interest rate contracts Interest and other finance expense 31 Interest and other finance expense (30) Derivatives not designated in hedge relationships Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or do not qualify as either cash flow or fair value hedges are economic hedges used for risk management purposes. Gains and losses from changes in the fair values of such derivatives are recognized in the same line in the income statement as the economically hedged transaction. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, the Company is required to split and account separately for foreign currency derivatives that are embedded within certain binding sales or purchase contracts denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary and the counterparty.

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 reliability 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 (obs ervable quoted prices). Assets and liabilities valued using Level 1 inputs include 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 valuation 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, reverse repurchase agreements, certain debt securities that are not actively traded, interest rate swaps, commodity swaps, cash-settled call options, forward foreign exchange contracts, foreign exchange swaps and forwa rd 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 midmarket 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.  19 Q2 2015 | Financial Information

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 nonperformance 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). 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 There were no significant non-recurring fair value measurements during the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.  20 Q2 2015 | Financial Information

The carrying amounts of short -term debt and current maturities of long-term debt, excluding capital lease obligations, approximate their fair values. - Long-term debt (excluding capital lease obligations): Fair values of outstanding bonds are determined using quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs), if available. For other bonds 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). - Non-current deposit liabilities in “Other non-current liabilities”: The fair values of non-current deposit liabilities are determined using a discounted cash flow methodology based on risk-adjusted interest rates (Level 2 inputs). 21 Q2 2015 | Financial Information

Note 7 Commitments and contingencies Contingencies—Environmental The Company is engaged in environmental clean-up activities at certain sites arising under various United States and other environmental protection laws and under certain agreements with third parties. In some cases, these environmental remediation actions are subject to legal proceedings, investigations or claims, and it is uncertain to what extent the Company is actually obligated to perform. Provisions for these unresolved matters have been set up if it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The lower end of an estimated range is accrued when a single best estimate is not determinable. The required amounts of the provisions may change in the future as developments occur. If a provision has been recognized for any of these matters, the Company records an asset when it is probable that it will recover a portion of the costs expected to be incurred to settle them. Management is of the opinion, based upon information presently available, that the resolution of any such obligation and non-collection of recoverable costs would not have a further material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is involved in the remediation of environmental contamination at present or former facilities, primarily in the United States. The clean-up of these sites involves primarily soil and groundwater contamination. A significant portion of the provisions in respect of these contingencies reflects the provisions of acquired companies. Environmental provisions included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows: ($ in millions) June 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Other provisions 31 37 Other non-current liabilities 97 109 Total 128 146 Provisions for the above estimated losses have not been discounted as the timing of payments cannot be reasonably estimated. Contingencies—Regulatory, Compliance and Legal Antitrust In April 2014, the European Commission announced its decision regarding its investigation of anticompetitive practices in the cables industry and granted the Company full immunity from fines under the European Commission’s leniency program. In December 2013, the Company agreed with the Brazilian Antitrust Authority (CADE) to settle its ongoing investigation into the Company’s involvement in anticompetitive practices in the cables industry and the Company agreed to pay a fine of approximately 1.5 million Brazilian reals (equivalent to approximately $1 million on date of payment). The Company’s cables business remains under investigation for alleged anticompetitive practices in certain other jurisdictions. An informed judgment about the outcome of these remaining investigations or the amount of potential loss or range of loss for the Company, if any, relating to these remaining investigations cannot be made at this stage. In Brazil, the Company’s Gas Insulated Switchgear business is under investigation by the CADE for alleged anticompetitive practices. In addition, the CADE has opened an investigation into certain other power businesses of the Company, including flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) and power transformers. An informed judgment about the outcome of these investigations or the amount of potential loss or range of loss for the Company, if any, relating to these investigations cannot be made at this stage. With respect to those aforementioned matters which are still ongoing, management is cooperating fully with the antitrust authorities. General In addition, 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 various legal proceedings, investigations, and claims that have not yet been resolved. With respect to the above mentioned regulatory matters and commercial litigation contingencies, the Company will bear the costs of the continuing investigations and any related legal proceedings. Liabilities recognized At June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the Company had aggregate liabilities of $158 million and $147 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 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 material 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.

In respect of the above 22 Q2 2015 | Financial Information

guarantees, the carrying amounts of liabilities at June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, were not significant. Performance guarantees Performance guarantees represent obligations where the Company guarantees the performance of a third party’s product or service according to the terms of a contract. 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. Performance guarantees include surety bonds, advance payment guarantees and standby letters of credit. The significant performance guarantees are described below. The Company retained obligations for guarantees related to the Power Generation business contributed in mid -1999 to the former ABB Alstom Power NV joint venture (Alstom Power NV). The guarantees primarily consist of performance guarantees and other miscellaneous guarantees under certain contracts such as indemnification for personal injuries and property damages, taxes and compliance with labor laws, environmental laws and patents. These guarantees have no fixed expiration date. In May 2000, the Company sold its interest in Alstom Power NV to Alstom SA (Alstom). As a result, Alstom and its subsidiaries have primary responsibility for performing the obligations that are the subject of the guarantees. Further, Alstom, the parent company and Alstom Power NV, have undertaken jointly and severally to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any claims arisi ng under such guarantees. Management’s best estimate of the total maximum potential amount payable of quantifiable guarantees issued by the Company on behalf of its former Power Generation business was $65 million at both June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014. The Company has not experienced any losses related to guarantees issued on behalf of the former Power Generation business. The Company is engaged in executing a number of projects as a member of consortia that include third parties. In certain of these cases, the Company guarantees not only its own performance but also the work of third parties. The original maturity dates of these guarantees range from one to six years. At June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the maximum potential amount payable under these guarantees as a result of third-party non-performance was $148 million and $156 million, respectively. Financial guarantees and commercial commitments Financial guarantees represent irrevocable assurances that the Company will make payment to a beneficiary in the event that a third party fails to fulfill its financial obligations and the beneficiary under the guarantee incurs a loss due to that failure. At June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the Company had a maximum potential amount payable of $74 million and $72 million, respectively, under financial guarantees outstanding. Of these amounts, $12 million at both June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, was in respect of guarantees issued on behalf of companies in which the Company formerly had or has an equity interest. The guarantees outstanding have various maturity dates up to 2020. 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. There have been no significant amounts reimbursed to financial institutions under these types of arrangements in the six and three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Indemnification guarantees The Company has indemnified certain purchasers of divested businesses for potential claims arising from the operations of the divested businesses. To the extent the maximum potential loss related to such indemnifications could not be calculated, no amounts have been included under maximum potential payments in the table above. Indemnifications for which maximum potential losses could not be calculated include indemnifications for legal claims. The significant indemnification guarantees for which maximum potential losses could be calculated are described below. The Company issued to the purchasers of Lummus Global guarantees related to assets and liabilities divested in 2007. The maximum potential amount payable relating to this business, pursuant to the sales agreement, at each of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, was $50 million. Product and order-related contingencies The Company calculates its provision for product warranties based on historical claims experience and specif ic review of certain contracts.

The Company expects to make contributions totaling approximately $238 million and $16 million to its defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively, for the full year 2015. Note 9 Stockholders’ equity In September 2014, the Company announced a share buyback program for the purchase of up to $4 billion of its own shares over a period ending no later than September 2016. The Company intends that approximately three quarters of the shares to be purchased will be held for cancellation (after approval from shareholders) and the remainder will be purchased to be available for delivery to employees under its employee share programs. Shares acquired for cancellation are acquired through a separate trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange (on which only the Company can purchase shares), while shares acquired for delivery under employee share programs are acquired through the ordinary trading line. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, under the announced share buyback program, the Company purchased 35.4 million shares for cancellation and 8.7 million shares to support its employee share programs, of which 18.1 million shares and 4.6 million shares, respectively, were purchased in the three months ended June 30, 2015. In the six and three months ended June 30, 2015, these transactions resulted in an increase in “Treasury stock” of $952 million and $500 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, under this program, the Company has purchased a total of 61.4 million shares for cancellation and 15.5 million shares to support its employee share programs. 24 Q2 2015 | Financial Information

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. Like-for-like growth rates also adjust for changes in our business portfolio. The adju stment 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 like-for-like growth rate. In addition, certain other portfolio changes which do not qualify as divestments are treated in a similar manner to divestments. We do not adjust for portfolio changes where the business acquired or divested has annual revenues of less than $50 million.

 Operational EPS Definition Operational EPS Operational EPS is calculated as Operational net income divided by the weighted-average number of shares used in determining basic earnings per share. Operational net income Operational net income is calculated as Net income attributable to ABB adjusted for the net -of-tax impact of: (i) restructuring and restructuring-related expenses, (ii) gains and losses from sale of businesses, acquisition -related expenses and certain non -operational items, (iii) 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), and (iv) acquisition-related amortization. Acquisition-related amortization Amortization expense on intangibles arising upon acquisitions. Adjusted Group effective tax rate The Adjusted Group effective tax rate is computed by dividing the provision for income taxes by income from continuing operations before taxes. The calculation excludes the amount of gains and losses from sale of businesses and the related provision for income taxes. Constant currency Operational EPS adjustment In cQPPGEVKQP YKVJ #$$oU 2015-2020 targets, Operational EPS growth is measured assuming 2014 as the base year and uses constant exchange rates. We compute the constant currency operational net income for all periods using the relevant monthly exchange rates which were in effect during 2014 and any income difference is divided by the relevant weighted-average number of shares outstanding to identify the constant currency Operational EPS adjustment.
