Cummins Inc. reported results for the third quarter of 2025.
“Cummins delivered strong operating results in the third quarter, driven by profitable growth in our Power Systems and Distribution segments, due in part to continued rising demand for backup power for data centers. Effective cost management across the company helped navigate through the anticipated sharp decline in the North American truck market,” said Jennifer Rumsey, chair and CEO. “During the quarter, we recorded non-cash charges related to our electrolyzer business within the Accelera segment, reflecting policy-driven shifts in hydrogen adoption expectations. Due to the significantly weaker prospects for demand, we are undertaking a strategic review of the electrolyzer business.”
Third quarter revenues of $8.3 billion decreased 2% from the same quarter in 2024. Sales in North America declined 4%, and international revenues increased 2% due to higher demand in China and Europe.
Net income attributable to Cummins in the third quarter was $536 million, or $3.86 per diluted share, compared to $809 million, or $5.86 per diluted share, in 2024. The current quarter results include Accelera non-cash charges of $240 million, or $1.73 per diluted share. The tax rate in the third quarter was 32.7% due primarily to non-deductible costs related to Accelera non-cash charges and $36 million or $0.26 per diluted share of tax costs related to the implementation of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the third quarter were $1.2 billion, or 14.3% of sales, compared to $1.4 billion, or 16.4% of sales, a year ago. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 included the costs noted above.
2025 Outlook:
Cummins will not be providing an outlook for revenue or profitability for the remainder of 2025.
“While uncertainty in a number of our end markets persists, our strong third quarter results are a testament to our diversified portfolio, effective cost discipline and commitment to delivering for our customers,” said Rumsey. “Cummins continues to operate from a position of strength as we navigate this dynamic environment, and we look forward to reinstating our financial guidance in February when we provide our outlook for 2026.”
