Cummins Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results, Records Charges Associated with Electrolyzer Business Strategic Review

Key Terms

gaap financial

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.

ebitda financial

EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.

diluted eps financial

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 ebitda financial

Segment EBITDA measures how much profit a specific part of a company generates from its core operations, before accounting for interest, taxes and long-term accounting items like depreciation and amortization. Investors use it like inspecting a single slice of a pie to compare which business units are most profitable, track performance trends, and decide where to allocate capital because it highlights underlying operating results without financing or accounting differences.

non-cash charges financial

Non-cash charges are accounting entries that reduce reported profit without any immediate cash leaving the company, such as depreciation (spreading the cost of equipment over time), amortization (spreading intangible costs), share-based pay, or write-downs when an asset loses value. They matter to investors because they can make earnings look weaker even though the business still generates cash; comparing profits with cash flow helps reveal the company’s true financial strength, like accounting for a car’s wear-and-tear without paying for repairs today.

net income financial

Net income is the amount of money a company keeps after paying all its costs, interest, taxes and one-time charges — effectively the company’s profit “left over” at the end of a reporting period. Investors use it like a report card: it shows whether the business is generating real profit, influences earnings per share and dividend potential, and helps determine valuation and long-term financial health.

COLUMBUS, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) today reported fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results.

“Cummins delivered strong operational results in the fourth quarter and full year despite continued weakness in North America truck markets. Our Distribution and Power Systems segments achieved record full-year sales and profitability as a result of disciplined execution and robust demand for data center backup power,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Chair and CEO of Cummins. “In the fourth quarter, we recorded charges related to our electrolyzer business within the Accelera segment, reflecting actions taken as part of a strategic review initiated in response to shifts in hydrogen adoption expectations. These decisions were aimed at streamlining operations and reducing ongoing costs in light of the weaker outlook for demand.”

“2025 marked a historic year for Cummins as we made significant progress in advancing key strategic priorities while continuing to raise performance cycle over cycle. I am tremendously proud of our employees for their resiliency and commitment to delivering for our customers amid persistent market uncertainty and change. Our disciplined cost management, diversified portfolio and effective execution allowed us to deliver strong results despite this challenging environment,” concluded Rumsey.

Fourth quarter 2025 revenues of $8.5 billion increased 1% from the same quarter in 2024. Sales in North America decreased 2% while international revenues increased 5%.

Net income attributable to Cummins in the fourth quarter was $593 million, or $4.27 per diluted share, compared to $418 million, or $3.02 per diluted share, in 2024. The current quarter results include charges related to the electrolyzer business within Accelera of $218 million, or $1.54 per diluted share. The fourth quarter of 2024 included Accelera reorganization actions of $312 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, which were primarily non-cash charges.

EBITDA in the fourth quarter was $1.2 billion, or 13.5% of sales, compared to $1.0 billion, or 12.1% of sales, a year ago. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 and the fourth quarter of 2024 included the charges noted above.

Full-year 2025 revenues of $33.7 billion decreased 1% from 2024. Sales in North America decreased 3% and international revenues increased 2% compared to 2024.

Net income for the full year 2025 was $2.8 billion, or $20.50 per diluted share, compared to $3.9 billion, or $28.37 per diluted share, in 2024. 2025 results included charges related to the electrolyzer business within Accelera of $458 million, or $3.28 per diluted share. 2024 results included the gain related to the separation of Atmus, net of transaction costs and other expenses, of $1.3 billion, or $9.28 per diluted share; charges related to Accelera reorganization actions of $312 million, or $2.12 per diluted share; and first quarter restructuring expenses of $29 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.

EBITDA in 2025 was $5.4 billion, or 16.0% of sales, compared to $6.3 billion, or 18.6% of sales, a year ago. EBITDA for 2025 and 2024 included the gains and charges noted above.

2026 Outlook:

Based on its current forecast, Cummins projects full-year 2026 revenue to be in the range of up 3% to 8%, and EBITDA to be in the range of 17.0% and 18.0% of sales.

Cummins plans to continue generating strong operating cash flow and returns for shareholders and is committed to our long-term strategic goal of returning 50% of operating cash flow back to shareholders.

“In 2026, we anticipate that demand will be slightly better in the North America on-highway truck markets, particularly in the second half of the year, paired with continued strength in data center power generation markets. Cummins remains well-positioned to invest in future growth, deliver strong financial results and return cash to shareholders in 2026,” said Rumsey.

2025 Highlights:

• Cummins increased its common stock cash dividend for the 16th straight year and returned a total of $1,055 million to shareholders through dividends.
• Cummins introduced the much-anticipated B7.2 and X10 engines as part of our Cummins HELM™ platforms. Alongside the X15, the X10 and B7.2 provide customers with a power solution to meet their unique operational requirements while maintaining the performance and reliability for which Cummins is known. The B7.2 will feature a slightly higher displacement and is designed to be a global platform that creates flexibility for different applications and duty cycles. The X10 will replace both the L9 and X12 engine platforms to deliver a new level of performance, durability and efficiency for heavy and medium-duty customers. Both engines will be manufactured at Rocky Mount Engine Plant in North Carolina.
• In February, Cummins announced the acquisition of assets of First Mode, a leader in retrofit hybrid solutions for mining and rail operations. The acquisition included hybrid mining and rail product lines, and the full IP portfolio of hybrid powertrain solutions. This technology represents the first commercially available retrofit hybrid system for mining equipment, significantly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) while advancing decarbonization in operations.
• Jennifer Rumsey was named one of Barron’s Top CEOs of 2025. Jennifer was recognized for her visionary leadership and commitment to innovation and sustainability. The annual list features 26 leaders whose deft guidance has put their companies in a stronger competitive position.
• Cummins received several prestigious honors in 2025 recognizing the company’s commitment to its people, culture and innovation. Of note, Forbes named Cummins one of America’s Best Employers for Company Culture and one of America’s best Employers for Engineers. Military Friendly® recognized the company as a Top Military-Friendly Employer, and Cummins was named a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion for the fifth consecutive year with a score of 100 on the Disability Equality Index®. Additionally, Cummins earned the Gold Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health, received a Platinum Hermes Creative Award for its “It’s OK” campaign, and was recognized for product and technical excellence with a Gold Product of the Year Award for the Centum™ Series generators and Powertrain Magazine’s Alternative Engine of the Year Award for the next-generation X15 Off-Highway engine.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Information

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used in this release and is defined and reconciled to what management believes to be the most comparable GAAP measure in a schedule attached to this release, except for forward-looking measures of EBITDA where a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the non-cash items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measure. Cummins presents this information as it believes it is useful to understanding the Company's operating performance, and because EBITDA is a measure used internally to assess the performance of the operating units.

Webcast information

Cummins management will host a teleconference to discuss these results today at 10 a.m. EDT. This teleconference will be webcast and available on the Investor Relations section of the Cummins website at www.cummins.com.

ACCELERA ACTIONS

During the third quarter of 2025, in our Accelera segment, we observed rapidly deteriorating conditions in our electrolyzer markets and overall hydrogen markets, along with significant uncertainty in the alternative power markets resulting from reductions in government incentives. As a result, we determined that a triggering event occurred for our electrolyzer reporting unit, warranting an interim impairment test of goodwill and the related asset group. We also re-evaluated the recoverability of certain inventory in this business due to the declining customer demand, resulting in a $30 million excess and obsolete inventory write-down. We concluded that the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the carrying value of the related asset group and thus an impairment did not exist for the related long-lived assets. However, we determined that on a fair value basis our goodwill was fully impaired and recorded a charge of $210 million. The fair value of this reporting unit was determined using primarily a discounted cash flow model (a form of the income approach). This model incorporated a number of assumptions and judgements surrounding current market and economic conditions, internal forecasts of future business performance including short and long-term growth rates, earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA) margins and discount rates.

The continuing deterioration in the electrolyzer markets in the fourth quarter of 2025, prompted a strategic review of this business. As a result of these market conditions and the current business outlook, we intend to stop new commercial activity in the electrolyzer space, subject to information and consultation in accordance with local legal requirements. We will continue to fulfill existing customer commitments. As a result of this shift, we recorded several non-cash charges in the fourth quarter related to inventory write-downs along with intangible and fixed asset impairments. We also recorded severance of approximately $13 million and contract termination costs of $34 million. Total charges for the fourth quarter actions were $218 million, or $1.54 per diluted share.

The following table presents the impact of these actions on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income:

		Year ended
In millions		December 31, 2025				Statement of Net Income Location
Impairment of goodwill		$	210			Other operating expense, net
Inventory write-downs			119			Cost of sales
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and leases			55			Other operating expense, net
Contract termination costs			34			Cost of sales
Impairment of other intangible assets			27			Other operating expense, net
Severance			13			Cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and research, development and engineering expenses
Total		$	458

The majority of the $458 million is reflected in net cash provided by operating activities, as a change in inventory of $119 million and other, net of $292 million. Of the $458 million, $415 million were non-cash charges and the majority of the remaining $43 million cash charge will be paid during 2026. Of the total charges, approximately $445 million occurred in jurisdictions where we receive no tax benefits because of valuation allowances or the charges are attributable to nondeductible goodwill.

INCOME TAXES

On July 4, 2025, The Act was signed into law, enacting significant changes to U.S. federal income tax rules affecting corporations, such as the ability to immediately deduct domestic research and development costs, restoration of elective 100 percent bonus depreciation for qualified property and changes to the international tax provisions. Implementation of The Act resulted in an increase to tax expense of $39 million in the second half of 2025, primarily due to a reduction in the foreign income deduction and changes to the research and development tax credit. Additionally, certain provisions of The Act resulted in lower U.S. tax-related cash payments in 2025 and should result in lower U.S. tax-related payments for the next several fiscal years.

Our effective tax rate for 2026, excluding discrete items, is expected to approximate 24.0 percent.

Our effective tax rates for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, were 21.6 percent and 25.4 percent, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were 32.8 percent and 17.0 percent, respectively.

The three months ended December 31, 2025, contained net favorable discrete tax items of $69 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, primarily due to $39 million of favorable return to provision adjustments, $21 million of favorable adjustments for uncertain tax positions, $3 million of favorable adjustments for share-based compensation and $6 million of other favorable tax items.

The year ended December 31, 2025, contained net favorable discrete tax items of $75 million, or $0.54, per diluted share, primarily due to $51 million of favorable adjustments for uncertain tax positions and $15 million of favorable adjustments for share-based compensation, $7 million of favorable return to provision adjustments and $2 million of other favorable adjustments.

The three months ended December 31, 2024, contained net unfavorable discrete tax items of $7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, primarily due to $50 million of unfavorable adjustments related to Accelera strategic reorganization actions, partially offset by $34 million of favorable return to provision adjustments and net $9 million of other favorable adjustments.

The year ended December 31, 2024, contained net favorable discrete tax items primarily due to the $1.3 billion non-taxable gain on the Atmus split-off. Other discrete tax items were net favorable by $59 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, primarily due to $52 million of favorable return to provision adjustments, $22 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefits, $21 million of favorable adjustments related to audit settlements and $20 million of favorable adjustments from tax return amendments, partially offset by $50 million of unfavorable adjustments related to Accelera strategic reorganization actions and a net $6 million of other unfavorable adjustments.

Reconciliation of Non GAAP measures - Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA)

We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. We believe EBITDA excluding special items, as noted in the table below, is a useful measure of our operating performance. This statement excludes forward looking measures of EBITDA where a reconciliation to the corresponding accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of non-cash items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measure.

EBITDA is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may not be consistent with measures used by other companies. It should be considered supplemental data; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income. Below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Cummins Inc. to EBITDA for each of the applicable periods:
