Cummins Reports First Quarter 2025 Results

• First quarter revenues of $8.2 billion; GAAP¹ Net Income of $824 million, or 10.1% of sales
• EBITDA in the first quarter was 17.9% of sales; Diluted EPS of $5.96

COLUMBUS, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) today reported results for the first quarter of 2025.

“The company delivered strong financial results in the first quarter of 2025 led by record performance in our Power Systems Segment,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Chair and CEO. “I want to thank our global employees for their commitment to delivering for our customers in an increasingly challenging environment. Due to growing economic uncertainty driven by tariffs we have withdrawn our full year forecast.”

First quarter revenues of $8.2 billion decreased 3% from the same quarter in 2024. Sales in North America decreased 1%, and international revenues decreased 5% due to lower demand in Latin America and Asia Pacific, partially offset by higher sales in China.

Net income attributable to Cummins in the first quarter was $824 million, or $5.96 per diluted share, compared to $2.0 billion, or $14.03 per diluted share, in 2024. The first quarter of 2024 included the gain related to the separation of Atmus, net of transaction costs and other expenses, of $1.3 billion, or $9.08 per diluted share, and restructuring expenses of $29 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the first quarter were $1.5 billion, or 17.9% of sales, compared to $2.6 billion, or 30.6% of sales, a year ago. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 included the gain and costs noted above.

2025 Outlook:

Due to growing economic uncertainty, the company is not providing an outlook for revenue or profitability for the remainder of 2025.

“While the outlook for the remainder of the year remains unclear, we remain confident in our position and that our Destination Zero strategy is the right one,” said Rumsey. “Cummins is in a strong position to navigate through economic uncertainty, and we look forward to reinstating our forecast when conditions allow.”

First Quarter 2025 Highlights:

• Cummins introduced the much-anticipated X10 as part of our Cummins HELM™ platforms. This engine replaces both the L9 and X12 engine platforms to deliver a new level of performance, durability and efficiency for heavy and medium-duty customers. Alongside the X15 and B Series, the X10 provides customers with a power solution to meet their unique operational requirements while maintaining the performance and reliability for which Cummins is known.
• Cummins also unveiled the new Cummins B7.2 diesel engine that brings the latest technology and advancements to one of our most proven platforms. The new engine will feature a slightly higher displacement and is designed to be a global platform which creates flexibility for different applications and duty cycles. Both the B7.2 and X10 engines will be manufactured at Rocky Mount Engine Plant in North Carolina and will go into production in North America in 2027.
• In February, Cummins announced the acquisition of assets of First Mode, a leader in retrofit hybrid solutions for mining and rail operations. The acquisition included hybrid mining and rail product lines, and the full technology portfolio which includes hydrogen and battery powertrain solutions. This technology represents the first commercially available retrofit hybrid system for mining equipment, significantly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) while advancing decarbonization in operations.
• Accelera™ by Cummins announced the supply of a 100-megawatt proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer system for bp’s Lingen green hydrogen project in Germany. The hydrogen-generation system will be the largest electrolyzer system assembled by Accelera to date and will be manufactured in Accelera’s new electrolyzer plant in Spain. Once fully commissioned in 2027, the 100 MW electrolyzer system will produce up to 11,000 tons of green hydrogen per year.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Information

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure used in this release and is defined and reconciled to what management believes to be the most comparable GAAP measure in a schedule attached to this release, except for forward-looking measures of EBITDA where a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of the non-cash items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measure. Cummins presents this information as it believes it is useful to understanding the Company's operating performance, and because EBITDA is a measure used internally to assess the performance of the operating units.

Webcast information

Cummins management will host a teleconference to discuss these results today at 10 a.m. EDT. This teleconference will be webcast and available on the Investor Relations section of the Cummins website at www.cummins.com.

EQUITY, ROYALTY AND INTEREST INCOME FROM INVESTEES

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income for the reporting periods was as follows:

INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for 2025, excluding discrete items, is expected to approximate 24.5 percent.

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were 23.9 percent and 8.7 percent, respectively.

The three months ended March 31, 2025, contained net favorable discrete tax items of $7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, primarily due to $8 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefits, partially offset by $1 million of other unfavorable tax items.

The three months ended March 31, 2024, contained favorable discrete tax items primarily due to the $1.3 billion non-taxable gain on the Atmus split-off. Other discrete tax items were $21 million favorable primarily due to adjustments related to audit settlements.

FINANCIAL MEASURES THAT SUPPLEMENT GAAP
(Unaudited)

Reconciliation of Non GAAP measures - Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA)

We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. We believe EBITDA excluding special items is a useful measure of our operating performance without regard to the impact of the gain recognized and the related costs for the divestiture of Atmus and restructuring actions. This statement excludes forward looking measures of EBITDA where a reconciliation to the corresponding accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) measures is not available due to the variability, complexity and limited visibility of non-cash items that are excluded from the non-GAAP outlook measure.

EBITDA is not in accordance with, or an alternative for, GAAP and may not be consistent with measures used by other companies. It should be considered supplemental data; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income. Below is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Cummins Inc. to EBITDA for each of the applicable periods:
