Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ALSN), today reported first quarter net sales of $741 million, a 9 percent increase from the same period in 2022, and diluted EPS of $1.85, a 42 percent increase from the same period in 2022.
David S. Graziosi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Allison Transmission commented, “Our first quarter results for 2023 continue the trend of strong performance after a record year in 2022. Record quarterly net sales were achieved in the first quarter, demonstrating our value proposition and strength in our Service Parts, Support Equipment and Other and North America end markets. While the business environment remains challenging, we continued our cost mitigation and pricing actions as demonstrated through our gross margin expansion in the first quarter, increasing 145 basis points year over year.”
Graziosi continued, “Our strong operating performance has enabled the consistent execution of our capital allocation priorities, starting with investment in both our conventional products as well as our electric axle portfolio, which will drive growth for the business into the future. We also maintained our commitment to returning capital to shareholders through our share repurchase program and fourth consecutive annual increase to our quarterly dividend. During the first quarter, we increased our quarterly dividend by 10 percent to $0.23 per share and repurchased 1 percent of outstanding shares. As a result of sustained demand in our end markets, particularly in North America, and the continued execution of our growth initiatives, we are pleased to raise full year 2023 guidance.”

First Quarter Financial Results
Gross profit for the quarter was $361 million, an increase of 13 percent from $320 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 and higher direct material costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $87 million, an increase of $12 million from $75 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was principally driven by higher commercial activities spending and increased product warranty expense.
Engineering – research and development expenses for the quarter were $44 million, an increase of $1 million from $43 million for the same period in 2022.
Net income for the quarter was $170 million, an increase of 32 percent from $129 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was principally driven by higher gross profit.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $193 million, an increase of $31 million from $162 million for the same period in 2022. The increase was principally driven by higher gross profit partially offset by higher operating working capital requirements.
First Quarter Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $276 million, an increase of $32 million from $244 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.

2023 Guidance Update
Given first quarter 2023 results and current end markets conditions, we are raising our full year 2023 guidance. Allison expects 2023 Net Sales in the range of $2.9 to $3.0 billion, Net Income in the range of $550 to $600 million, Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1.01 to $1.09 billion, Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities in the range of $635 to $695 million, Capital Expenditures in the range of $125 to $135 million, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the range of $510 to $560 million.

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.
