Allison Transmission Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results

  • Net sales of $736 million, up 4% year over year
  • Net Income of $158 million, up 14% year over year
  • Diluted EPS of $1.76, up 21% year over year

Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ALSN), today reported third quarter net sales of $736 million, a 4 percent increase from the same period in 2022 and diluted EPS of $1.76, a 21 percent increase from the same period in 2022.

David S. Graziosi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Allison Transmission commented, “Allison’s third quarter 2023 results demonstrate the sustained strength in our North America On-Highway and Service Parts end markets and the continued focus of our team to drive operational and financial performance. We continue to realize solid year over year EBITDA growth, up 9 percent on net sales growth of 4 percent. The increase in net sales was also surpassed by an even stronger increase in diluted EPS, up 21 percent. Furthermore, our team’s efforts toward price realization and cost mitigation drove gross margin expansion of 230 basis points year over year.”

Graziosi continued, “During the third quarter, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share and repurchased $20 million of shares of our common stock. Allison remains committed to our capital allocation priorities by investing in the business while returning capital to shareholders, with nearly 4 percent of shares outstanding repurchased in 2023. Given third quarter results and current end markets conditions, we are reaffirming our full year 2023 guidance provided to the market on July 27.”

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

Net sales for the quarter were $736 million. Year over year results were improved by:

  • A $36 million increase in net sales in the North America On-Highway end market principally driven by strength in customer demand for Class 8 vocational and medium-duty trucks and price increases on certain products,
  • A $14 million increase in net sales in the Service Parts, Support Equipment and Other end market principally driven by strength in North America On-Highway service parts and support equipment and price increases on certain products, and
  • An $8 million increase in net sales in the Defense end market principally driven by increased demand for Tracked and Wheeled vehicle applications.

Net income for the quarter was $158 million. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $1.76. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the quarter was $267 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $212 million. Adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the quarter was $182 million.

Third Quarter Financial Results

Gross profit for the quarter was $357 million, an increase of $29 million from $328 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in gross profit was principally driven by price increases on certain products, partially offset by higher manufacturing expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $86 million, an increase of $8 million from $78 million for the same period in 2022.

Engineering – research and development expenses for the quarter were $49 million, an increase of $2 million from $47 million for the same period in 2022.

Net income for the quarter was $158 million, an increase of 14 percent from $139 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was principally driven by higher gross profit partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expense.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $212 million, an increase of $5 million from $207 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was principally driven by higher gross profit partially offset by higher cash income taxes.

Third Quarter Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $267 million, an increase of $22 million from $245 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was principally driven by higher gross profit partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter was $182 million, flat from the same period in 2022 driven by increased net cash provided by operating activities offset by increased capital expenditures.

2023 Guidance Update

Given third quarter results and current end markets conditions, we are reaffirming our full year 2023 guidance provided to the market on July 27. Allison expects 2023 Net Sales in the range of $2.96 to $3.04 billion, Net Income in the range of $575 to $625 million, Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.05 to $1.11 billion, Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities in the range of $675 to $725 million, Capital Expenditures in the range of $125 to $135 million, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the range of $550 to $590 million.

Our 2023 net sales guidance reflects higher customer demand in the Global On-Highway and Service Parts, Support Equipment & Other end markets, price increases on certain products and the continued execution of growth initiatives.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains information about Allison’s financial results and forward-looking estimates of financial results which are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Such non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled to their closest 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales to measure our operating profitability. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales 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 and comparability with other companies. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales is also used in the calculation of management’s incentive compensation program. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA is Net income. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales is Net Income as a percent of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as the earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and other adjustments as defined by Allison Transmission, Inc.’s, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

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 the 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 additions of long-lived assets.
