INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ALSN), today reported second quarter net sales of $1,566 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 26 percent and net cash provided by operating activities of $312 million.

David S. Graziosi, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allison commented, "In the Allison Transmission business unit, execution of our growth initiatives in the Defense end market and continued momentum in the North American truck market led to record quarterly net sales of $860 million for the second quarter. We also saw strong year over year growth in the Allison Off-Highway business unit, particularly in the Construction & Material Handling and Mining end markets as demand continues to rebound from trough levels. The Agriculture end market, although showing signs of recovery in certain segments and regions, has yet to inflect positively."

Graziosi continued, "The successful integration of the Allison Off-Highway business unit, including capturing planned synergies and realizing the strategic benefits of the combined operations, remains a top priority. At the same time, Allison continues to execute across both business units, converting improving demand conditions into strong cash generation, reflected in record quarterly adjusted free cash flow of $281 million in the second quarter. Alongside repurchasing $46 million of our common stock and paying a quarterly dividend, we also made additional progress toward our leverage target by repaying the remaining $150 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility."

Second quarter results include segment reporting for Allison Transmission, the Company's legacy business, excluding certain costs now accounted for within the Allison Central Group, and Allison Off-Highway, the business acquired from Dana Incorporated on January 1, 2026. The Allison Central Group is a centralized cost center which includes certain functional costs that support the Company's global operations.

Allison Consolidated Second Quarter Financial Results

Net sales for the quarter were $1,566 million, including the addition of $706 million in net sales for the Allison Off-Highway business unit.

Gross profit for the quarter was $515 million, an increase of $112 million from $403 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was principally driven by the addition of the Allison Off-Highway business unit. Gross margin for the quarter was 33 percent.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $168 million, an increase of $64 million from $104 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was principally driven by the addition of the Allison Off-Highway business unit. Selling general and administrative expenses for the second quarter include $9 million of one-time acquisition-related expenses.

Engineering – research and development expenses for the quarter were $56 million, an increase of $13 million from $43 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was principally driven by the addition of the Allison Off-Highway business unit, partially offset by reduced product initiatives spending in the Allison Transmission business unit.

Net income for the quarter was $181 million, a decrease of $14 million from $195 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was principally driven by increased operating costs due to the acquisition of the Allison Off-Highway business unit, including increased depreciation and amortization expense. The year over year decrease in net income was also driven by higher interest expense, net, and unrealized mark-to-market adjustments for marketable securities. The decrease in net income was partially offset by increased gross profit driven by the addition of the Allison Off-Highway business unit. Diluted EPS for the second quarter was $2.15, a year over year decrease of 6 percent.

Excluding the effect of certain non-cash, non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items, including the costs associated with the acquisition of the Allison Off-Highway business unit, adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $229 million for the second quarter and adjusted diluted EPS was $2.73, a year over year increase of 8 percent.

During the second quarter, Allison paid a quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share and repurchased $46 million of its common stock, with $1,125 million of authorization remaining under its stock repurchase program.

Allison Transmission Second Quarter Financial Highlights

Net sales for the quarter increased 6 percent from the same period in 2025, leading to record quarterly net sales of $860 million.

Gross profit for the quarter was $397 million, a decrease of $6 million from $403 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was principally driven by unfavorable direct material costs and higher manufacturing expense, partially offset by price increases on certain products. Gross margin for the second quarter was 46 percent.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $75 million, an increase of $3 million from $72 million for the same period in 2025 when adjusting for allocations of certain selling, general and administrative expenses to the Allison Central Group. The increase was principally driven by increased commercial activities spending.

Engineering – research and development expenses for the quarter were $41 million, a decrease of $2 million from $43 million for the same period in 2025. The decrease was principally driven by reduced product initiatives spending.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to: the significant costs we are expected to incur in connection with the integration of the Off-Highway Drive & Motion Systems business of Dana Incorporated (now referred to as the "Allison Off-Highway Business"); our ability to successfully integrate the Allison Off-Highway Business and its operations in the expected time frame; our ability to realize all of the anticipated benefits from the integration of the Allison Off-Highway Business and its operations and to effectively manage our expanded operations; our participation in markets that are competitive; our ability to prepare for, respond to and successfully achieve our objectives relating to technological and market developments, competitive threats and changing customer needs, including with respect to electric hybrid and fully electric commercial vehicles; increases in cost, disruption of supply or shortage of labor, freight, raw materials, energy or components used to manufacture or transport our products or those of our customers or suppliers, including as a result of geopolitical risks, natural disasters, extreme weather events, wars and public health crises such as pandemics; global economic volatility; general economic and industry conditions, including the risk of prolonged inflation and recession; labor strikes, work stoppages or similar labor disputes, which could significantly disrupt our operations or those of our principal customers or suppliers; the highly cyclical industries in which certain of our end users operate; uncertainty in the global regulatory and business environments in which we operate; the concentration of our net sales in our top five customers and the loss of any one of these customers; cybersecurity risks to our operational systems, security systems or infrastructure owned by us or our third-party vendors and suppliers; the failure of markets outside North America to increase adoption of fully automatic transmissions; the success of our research and development efforts, the outcome of which is uncertain; U.S. and foreign defense spending; risks associated with our international operations, including acts of war and increased trade protectionism and tariffs; the discovery of defects in our products, resulting in delays in new model launches, recall campaigns and/or increased warranty costs and reduction in future sales or damage to our brand and reputation; our ability to identify, consummate and effectively integrate acquisitions and collaborations; and risks related to our indebtedness.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains information about Allison's financial results and forward-looking estimates of financial results that are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP and, as calculated, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

We use adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales ("adjusted EBITDA margin") to measure our operating profitability. We believe that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide management, investors and creditors with useful measures of the operational results of our business and increase the period-to-period comparability of our operating profitability. Adjusted EBITDA margin is also used in the calculation of management's incentive compensation program. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin is net income or segment operating profit (loss) in the case of our segments and net income as a percent of net sales ("net income margin") or segment operating profit (loss) as a percent of net sales in the case of our segments, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and other adjustments as defined by the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 29, 2019, as amended, governing Allison Transmission, Inc.'s term loans and revolving credit facility. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

In addition, we believe adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders ("adjusted basic EPS") and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders ("adjusted diluted EPS") provide management, investors and creditors with useful measures of our core business performance and trends and increase the period-to-period comparability of our results of operations. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted net income, adjusted basic EPS and adjusted diluted EPS is net income, basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders ("basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders ("diluted EPS"), respectively. Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding the effect of certain non-cash, non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items such as: amortization related to acquired intangible assets, depreciation of the stepped-up basis in property, plant and equipment related to acquired assets, stepped-up basis in acquired inventory, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expenses, impairment charges, other one-off adjustments and the tax effect of the adjustments. Adjusted basic EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding and adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding.

We use adjusted free cash flow to evaluate the amount of cash generated by our business that, after the capital investment needed to maintain and grow our business and certain mandatory debt service requirements, can be used for repayment of debt, stockholder distributions and strategic opportunities, including investing in our business. We believe that adjusted free cash flow enhances the understanding of the cash flows of our business for management, investors and creditors. Adjusted free cash flow is also used in the calculation of management's incentive compensation program. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted free cash flow is net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities after cash used for additions of long-lived assets.
