Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. reported full year 2025 net sales of $3 billion with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 37.5% and net cash provided by operating activities of $836 million.
David S. Graziosi, chair, president and chief executive officer of Allison, commented, “Although 2025 presented meaningful macroeconomic challenges, we remained disciplined and focused on the factors within our control. With a prioritization of cost management and execution aligned with end markets demand conditions, our full year results demonstrate the resilient earnings power of our business in difficult and uncertain operating environments. For the full year, we achieved an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 37.5% and generated Adjusted free cash flow of $661 million.”
Graziosi continued, “Earlier this year, we announced the completion of our acquisition of Dana’s Off-Highway business, a transformational moment in Allison history. With the combination of these two industry-leading businesses, we have significantly expanded both our presence in the global mobility market and our portfolio of high-quality and reliable products, creating a platform that will continue to deliver strong financial performance from both organic and inorganic growth. While completing this acquisition last year, we remained committed to our capital allocation priorities, including repurchasing $328 million of our common stock, representing 4% of outstanding shares.”
Full Year & Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights*
Net sales for the year were $3,010 million. Year over year results were led by:

Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Gross profit for the quarter was $354 million, a decrease of $19 million from $373 million for the same period in 2024.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $110 million, an increase of $26 million from $84 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was principally driven by the Dana Off-Highway business acquisition-related expenses of approximately $26 million.
Engineering – research and development expenses for the quarter were $44 million, a decrease of $10 million from $54 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was principally driven by reduced product initiatives spending to align costs and programs across the business with end markets demand conditions.
Net income for the quarter was $99 million, a decrease of $76 million from $175 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was principally driven by a $29 million loss associated with impairment of long-lived assets and $26 million of expenses related to the acquisition of Dana’s Off-Highway business and lower gross profit.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $243 million, an increase of $32 million from $211 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was principally driven by lower cash income taxes, reduced engineering – research and development spending and lower operating working capital funding requirements, partially offset by lower gross profit and payments for the Dana Off-Highway business acquisition-related expenses.
