Allison Transmission Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Results

INDIANAPOLIS, February 16, 2022 – Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ALSN)

David S. Graziosi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Allison Transmission commented, “2021 was another notable year for Allison’s growth objectives. Net sales accelerated in the fourth quarter, largely driven by a strong recovery to pre-pandemic levels in the Outside North America On-Highway end market. In fact, fourth quarter net sales were up sequentially across all of our end markets, as our global customers and partners worked diligently to meet global demand. I am proud of the Allison team’s continued execution and strong performance, and excited about the future, as we continue to fund growth initiatives that will drive further success and are aligned with our long-term strategy of continuous global market leadership expansion.”

Graziosi continued, “We recently announced an investment in Autotech Ventures, a venture capital firm that’s helping to pave the way for the next frontier of mobility. Autotech invests in and provides consulting services to early-stage transport technology start-ups focused on connectivity, autonomy, sharing, electrification and digitization in the transport tech space. This partnership will significantly enhance our efforts to identify strategic opportunities and continue investing in innovative companies.

Lastly, our prudent and well-defined approach to capital allocation continues to have a meaningful impact on earnings per share. In 2021, we settled over $500 million of share repurchases, representing 12 percent of shares outstanding as of December 31, 2020. During each of the last five years we have repurchased on average, 10 percent of outstanding shares annually, while simultaneously increasing EPS by more than 200 percent in aggregate.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Highlights

Year-over-year results were led by a 38 percent increase in net sales in the Outside North America On-Highway end market principally driven by strong customer demand in Asia and the persistent execution of growth initiatives. Year-over-year results were further led by a $26 million increase in net sales in the North America Off-Highway end market driven by improving demand for hydraulic fracturing applications, a $24 million increase in net sales in the Outside North America Off-Highway end market driven by higher demand in the energy, mining and construction sectors and a 19 percent increase in net sales in the Service Parts, Support Equipment and Other end market principally driven by increased demand for North America On-Highway service parts and global support equipment, and price increases on certain products.

Net sales for the quarter were $644 million. Net income for the quarter was $118 million. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $1.15.
