How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, non-gaap, diluted eps, purchase price accounting

4 terms

adjusted ebitda financial

"Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $400 million for the third quarter"

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.

non-gaap financial

"Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $400 million"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

View in glossary

diluted eps financial

"Diluted EPS for the third quarter was $2.30"

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.

purchase price accounting financial

"subject to the completion of purchase price accounting associated with the acquisition"

When one company buys another, purchase price accounting is the way the buyer re-records the acquired business’s assets and debts at current fair values and records any extra amount paid as goodwill. Think of it like buying a house with furniture: you reset the values of the house and contents on the buyer’s books and note any premium paid. This matters to investors because it changes reported assets, expenses and profits, which affect valuation, comparisons and future earnings expectations.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ALSN), today reported third quarter net sales of $1,534 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.1 percent and net cash provided by operating activities of $343 million and raised full year 2026 guidance.

David S. Graziosi, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allison commented, "Allison's third quarter results reflect continued strength across the majority of our end markets, supported by disciplined execution that maximized the benefits of higher volumes. Within the Allison Transmission business unit, demand accelerated for medium-duty and Class 8 vocational trucks, driving record quarterly revenue of $462 million in the North America On-Highway end market. Within the Allison Off-Highway business unit, momentum in the Mining end market remained robust, while the Construction & Material Handling end market delivered year over year growth across all regions, exceeding our expectations entering 2026. As anticipated, third quarter performance reflects customary seasonality for the business unit, including the impact of European holidays, and represents the softest quarter of the year. Conversely, demand within the Industrial and Agriculture end markets remained subdued, as ongoing geopolitical developments continue to temper customer purchasing activity."

Graziosi continued, "Favorable end markets demand conditions and operational execution drove strong cash generation in the third quarter, resulting in adjusted free cash flow of $278 million, up 51 percent year over year. Year to date, this cash generation has supported the repayment of over $400 million of debt, advancing the Company toward our leverage target. In addition to debt reduction, Allison remains committed to returning capital to shareholders through our quarterly dividend and share repurchase program. During the third quarter, Allison paid $23 million for its quarterly dividend and repurchased $57 million of common stock."

Third 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 Third Quarter Financial Results

Net sales for the quarter were $1,534 million, including the addition of $653 million in net sales for the Allison Off-Highway business unit.

Gross profit for the quarter was $505 million, an increase of $175 million from $330 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was principally driven by the addition of the Allison Off-Highway business unit and a $77 million increase in the Allison Transmission business unit. Gross margin for the quarter was 33 percent.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $142 million, an increase of $59 million from $83 million for the same period in 2025.

Engineering – research and development expenses for the quarter were $59 million, an increase of $16 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.

Net income for the quarter was $191 million, an increase of $54 million from $137 million for the same period in 2025. The increase was principally driven by increased gross profit from the addition of the Allison Off-Highway business unit, higher gross profit in the Allison Transmission business unit and lower acquisition-related expenses. The year over year increase in net income was partially offset by higher interest expense, net, a $17 million charge attributable to optimization activities within the Allison Off-Highway business unit and higher income tax expense.

Diluted EPS for the third quarter was $2.30, a year over year increase of 41 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 $241 million for the third quarter and adjusted diluted EPS was $2.90, a year over year increase of 59 percent.

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.
