What's Driving ALSN's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

44/44 datapoints verified

AI-extracted from Allison Transmission Holdings Inc's 10-Q filed 2026-05-07 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Allison completed Dana off-highway acquisition on Jan 1, 2026 for $2.6B, expanding to two segments; Q1 revenue surged 83% to $1.4B despite Allison Transmission segment decline.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $1,406M+83% YoY

Allison Transmission$733M-4% YoY

Lower demand in North America On-Highway, offset by 64% growth in Defense end market from increased tracked vehicle demand.

Allison Off-Highway$673MN/A (newly acquired Jan 1, 2026)

Acquired business comprised of Construction & Material Handling ($227M), Agriculture ($154M), Industrial ($90M), Mining ($50M), and Service Parts ($152M).

Largest Expense Items

Cost of sales$1,000M+158% YoY

$623M attributable to Allison Off-Highway including $63M stepped-up basis inventory and $13M depreciation; remainder from lower material costs offset by unfavorable direct material costs in Allison Transmission.

Interest expense, net$61M+190% YoY

Driven by $16M from Incremental Term Loan, $7M from 5.875% Senior Notes 2033, $6M bridge facility fees, and $5M lower interest income.

$56M from Allison Off-Highway including $21M amortization; remainder from $8M Acquisition-related costs and higher incentive compensation.

Engineering — research and development$54M+29% YoY

$15M from Allison Off-Highway; remaining decrease from reduced product initiatives in Allison Transmission.

Margins: Gross profit margin contracted 20.4 percentage points to 29% from 49%, primarily due to Allison Off-Highway's lower-margin product mix, $63M stepped-up inventory basis, and lower Allison Transmission sales offset by price increases. Operating margin fell to 14% from 33% YoY due to acquisition-related costs and integration expenses.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • North America On-Highway revenue declined 14% ($60M) to $375M, reflecting weaker medium-duty and class 8 vocational truck demand—a core legacy market.
  • Allison Off-Highway segment posted $21M operating loss in Q1 2026 (pro-forma Q1 2025 net income $89M) due to $63M inventory step-up and $21M intangible amortization, signaling significant purchase accounting headwinds.
  • Total debt increased to $4.3B from $2.9B at year-end 2025 due to $1.2B Incremental Term Loan, $500M Senior Notes 2033, and $300M revolver borrowing for acquisition funding; first lien net leverage 1.29x.
  • Integration and Acquisition-related expenses totaled $17M in Q1 2026; company expects integration costs to continue impacting near-term profitability.
  • Defense end market surged 64% to $87M driven by tracked vehicle demand and price increases, offsetting broader market weakness and providing growth visibility.

AI Insight: ALSN Financial Trends

Q1 2026 revenue nearly doubled to $1,406M following a debt-funded acquisition, but net income fell to $99–$112M range as leverage surged to $4,267M total debt.

Revenue jumped from $737M in Q4 2025 to $1,406M in Q1 2026, likely acquisition-driven, but operating margin compressed sharply to ~13.9% from ~23.2% in Q2 2024.

Net income deteriorated from $200M peak in Q3 2024 to $99M in Q4 2025 and only partially recovered to $112M in Q1 2026 despite surging revenue.

Total debt nearly doubled from $2,415M in Q3 2025 to $4,267M in Q1 2026, while equity grew modestly to $1,903M, implying a debt-to-equity ratio above 2.2x.

Operating cash flow remained relatively stable at $156M–$243M across recent quarters, providing a partial offset to elevated leverage.

Total debt surged $1,852M in a single quarter to $4,267M — monitor whether acquisition synergies can restore operating margins and accelerate debt paydown.

Operating income dropped to $171M in Q4 2025 and $195M in Q1 2026 vs. $263M in Q2 2024 — margin recovery trajectory is a critical inflection point.

Q1 2026 operating cash flow fell to $156M from $243M in Q4 2025 — watch whether FCF generation can support the materially higher debt service burden.

AI Insight: ALSN Ratio Trends

Operating margin collapsed to 13.9% in Q1 2026 — the lowest in the visible dataset — while D/E spiked back to 2.24, erasing two years of deleveraging progress.

Operating margin fell sharply from 32.5% in Q1 2025 to 13.9% in Q1 2026, a 18.6pp year-over-year deterioration.

Net profit margin dropped from 25.1% in Q1 2025 to 8.0% in Q1 2026, the weakest quarterly reading in the dataset.

ROIC contracted from 24.4% in Q1 2025 to 12.6% in Q1 2026, cutting return on invested capital by nearly half in four quarters.

D/E ratio declined steadily from 1.63 in Q2 2024 to 1.31 in Q3 2025, before reversing sharply to 2.24 in Q1 2026.

D/E jumped from 1.31 in Q3 2025 to 2.24 in Q1 2026 — a 0.93pp reversal that erases all deleveraging since Q2 2024.

ROA fell to 5.1% in Q1 2026, the lowest quarterly reading shown; monitor whether asset base expansion or earnings weakness is the primary driver.

TTM metrics closely mirror Q1 2026 lows, suggesting deterioration is not purely seasonal — watch Q2 2026 for stabilization signals.
