ABB completes EPC business model change
ABB完成工程總承包商業(yè)模式變革

December 20, 2017 - ABB today announced actions across three divisions to complete the business model change for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) as it ends its transition year 2017. These decisions are fully in line with ABB’s strategy to shift the center of gravity towards strengthened competitiveness, higher growth segments and lower risk.

2017年12月20日——ABB今天宣布在其2017轉(zhuǎn)型年結(jié)束前，在三個(gè)事業(yè)部完成工程總承包（EPC）的商業(yè)模式變革。這些決定完全符合ABB把重心轉(zhuǎn)向增強(qiáng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力、提高增長(zhǎng)區(qū)間和降低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的戰(zhàn)略。

In the Power Grids division, ABB has signed an agreement to form a joint venture with SNC-Lavalin for electrical substation EPC projects; SNC-Lavalin will have majority and controlling interest. The new entity will leverage ABB’s power technology leadership and SNC-Lavalin project expertise to capture opportunities for profitable growth. These actions complement the ongoing ”Power Up” program; as part of this program, ABB started to shift its focus towards solutions and service-based customer offerings.

在電網(wǎng)業(yè)務(wù)部，ABB已經(jīng)簽署了與SNC-Lavalin合資建設(shè)變電站EPC項(xiàng)目的協(xié)議，SNC-Lavalin將擁有多數(shù)控股權(quán)。新公司將利用ABB的電力技術(shù)領(lǐng)先地位和SNC-Lavalin項(xiàng)目專(zhuān)業(yè)知識(shí)來(lái)抓住盈利增長(zhǎng)良機(jī)。這些措施補(bǔ)充了正在進(jìn)行的“Power Up”計(jì)劃。作為該計(jì)劃的一部分，ABB開(kāi)始將重點(diǎn)轉(zhuǎn)向解決方案和基于服務(wù)的客戶服務(wù)。

In the Industrial Automation division, ABB has previously announced the oil & gas EPC joint venture with Arkad Engineering and Construction Ltd., a fully integrated EPC contractor for the energy sector based in Saudi Arabia; the closing of the transaction is now expected by December 31, 2017.

在工業(yè)自動(dòng)化部門(mén)，ABB先前宣布與沙特阿拉伯的能源全面整合EPC承包商Arkad工程建設(shè)有限公司組建油氣EPC合資公司。該交易預(yù)計(jì)在2017年12月31日前完成。

ABB’s current oil & gas EPC business will be transferred into the new JV company, in which, Arkad will have majority and controlling interest. The new JV company, Arkad-ABB S.p.A., will provide the full range of integrated EPC services for oil & gas plants. It will build on more than 50 years of experience in oil & gas EPC and the successful delivery of more than 300 projects globally.

ABB目前的油氣EPC業(yè)務(wù)將轉(zhuǎn)移到新的合資公司，其中Arkad將擁有多數(shù)控股權(quán)益?；?0多年的石油天然氣總承包經(jīng)驗(yàn)和全球300多個(gè)項(xiàng)目的成功交付，新合資公司Arkad-ABB S.p.A.將為石油和天然氣工廠提供全面的綜合EPC服務(wù)。

In the Robotics and Motion division, ABB has decided to wind down its turnkey full train retrofit business, beyond meeting current contractual commitments. Robotics and Motion will continue its strong role as innovation partner for the rail industry.

在機(jī)器人和運(yùn)動(dòng)業(yè)務(wù)部，ABB已經(jīng)決定放棄現(xiàn)有合同承諾之外的一攬子全列車(chē)改造業(yè)務(wù)。 機(jī)器人和運(yùn)動(dòng)業(yè)務(wù)部將繼續(xù)是鐵路行業(yè)強(qiáng)大的創(chuàng)新合作伙伴。

“We are taking decisive actions to complete our EPC business model change as we end our transition year. These actions are in line with our strategy to shift our center of gravity towards strengthened competitiveness, higher growth segments and lower risk,” said ABB CFO Timo Ihamuotila “We will book the related charges in Q4 2017 and report the divisions starting in 2018 excluding these legacy businesses.”

“我們正在采取果斷行動(dòng)，在我們結(jié)束轉(zhuǎn)型年之際完成EPC商業(yè)模式的變革。這些措施符合我們把重心轉(zhuǎn)向增強(qiáng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力、提高增長(zhǎng)區(qū)間和降低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的戰(zhàn)略。” ABB首席財(cái)務(wù)官Timo Ihamuotila表示，“我們將把相關(guān)變化納入2017年第四季度財(cái)報(bào)，并從2018年開(kāi)始將這些遺留業(yè)務(wù)在財(cái)報(bào)里面剝離。”

The fourth quarter 2017 results of Power Grids and Robotics and Motion are each expected to be impacted by approximately $75 million on operational EBITA. The transfer of the turnkey oil & gas EPC business into the JV with Arkad is expected to result in a non-operational pre-tax charge to net income of approximately $75 million.

預(yù)計(jì)2017年第四季度電網(wǎng)業(yè)務(wù)部以及機(jī)器人和運(yùn)動(dòng)業(yè)務(wù)部的業(yè)績(jī)將各自獲得利息、稅收和攤銷(xiāo)前的營(yíng)業(yè)收入約達(dá)7500萬(wàn)美元。將交鑰匙石油和天然氣EPC業(yè)務(wù)轉(zhuǎn)讓給與Arkad的合資企業(yè)預(yù)計(jì)將帶來(lái)約7500萬(wàn)美元的非營(yíng)業(yè)性稅前收益。
