On December 17, 2018, ABB announced an agreed sale of its Power Grids business. Consequently, the results of the Power Grids business are presented as discontinued operations.
“We have made good progress in 2019, gradually reducing stranded costs as part of the Power Grids carve-out process, steadily working through non-core and other legacy issues that hinder performance of the group and realizing savings through our ABB-OS simplification program,” said Timo Ihamuotila, CFO of ABB.
