 ABB Asea Brown Boveri Ltd - Archived 9/2002
ABB serves manufacturing, process and consumer industries, utilities, and the oil and gas sector.  ABB divested its share of ABB Alstom Power to Alstom of France and finalized the sale of its nuclear activities, completing its exit from the large-scale power generation field.
ABB and Alstom merged most of their respective power generation activities to create the joint 50-50 company in June 1999.  After obtaining regulatory approvals for the divestment of its 50 percent to Alstom, ABB received an undisclosed cash payment reflecting the valuation of its share as well as outstanding issues between ABB and Alstom.
ABB posted net income of $1.4 billion on sales of 22.9 billion for 2000.  The lower income in 1997 was due to a restructuring charge of $903 million taken in late 1997.  Latest year statistics are provided below.  2000 figures have not been restated to conform to the company’s current presentation.
