Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow, diluted EPS, segment operating profit, +2 more

6 terms

adjusted EBITDA financial

"reported first quarter net sales of $1,406 million with adjusted EBITDA margin of 26 percent"

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

adjusted free cash flow financial

"Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the quarter was $103 million."

Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.

diluted EPS financial

"Diluted EPS of $1.33, Adjusted Diluted EPS of $2.57, up 6% year over year"

Diluted earnings per share (EPS) shows how much profit a company makes for each share of stock, assuming all possible shares from stock options or convertible securities are used. It provides a more conservative estimate than basic EPS, accounting for potential share increases that could dilute ownership. Investors use diluted EPS to get a clearer picture of a company's true profitability on a per-share basis.

segment operating profit financial

"Segment operating profit was $252 million, or 34 percent of net sales, for the first quarter."

Segment operating profit is the profit generated by a specific business unit or division from its normal activities, measured before interest, taxes and often before corporate-level allocations or one-time items. It shows how well a particular part of a company turns sales into operating earnings, helping investors compare which divisions are healthy or efficient — like checking how one store in a chain performs independently of the whole company.

revolving credit facility financial

"enabled us to repay $150 million of amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility."

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

net leverage financial

"as we progress toward our 2.0x net leverage target with prudent balance sheet management"

Net leverage measures how many years it would take for a company to pay off its outstanding debt using its annual operating cash flow, after subtracting cash on hand from total debt. Think of it like a household’s mortgage balance minus savings divided by yearly income; a lower number means the company is in a safer position to handle debt, while a higher number signals greater financial risk and potential pressure on profits or growth.

Graziosi continued, "During the first quarter, we announced the seventh consecutive annual increase to our quarterly dividend and repurchased more than $20 million of our common stock, demonstrating Allison's consistent commitment to returning cash to shareholders as part of our capital allocation priorities. Also during the quarter, as we progress toward our 2.0x net leverage target with prudent balance sheet management, our strong cash flow generation enabled us to repay $150 million of amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility."

Allison Consolidated First Quarter Financial Results

Net sales for the quarter were $1,406 million, including the addition of $673 million in net sales for the Allison Off-Highway business unit.

Gross profit for the quarter was $406 million, an increase of $28 million from $378 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 decreased gross profit in the Allison Transmission business unit.

Gross margin for the quarter was 29 percent.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $157 million, an increase of $70 million from $87 million for the same period in 2025.

Engineering – research and development expenses for the quarter were $54 million, an increase of $12 million from $42 million for the same period in 2025.

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 property, plant and equipment related to the stepped-up basis of acquired assets, step-up in basis of 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.
