- Power Group Segment Profit (Adjusted): Excludes expenses related to NuScale to differentiate engineering, procurement, and construction activities from research and development.
- Backlog and New Awards: The filing notes that these industry-standard measures are included in the press release but does not list the specific dollar amounts in this text.
