Current report

In September 2025, we recorded $240 million of non-cash charges in our electrolyzer business for our Accelera segment. See NOTE 14, “GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT AND INVENTORY WRITE-DOWN,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementsfor additional information.

Current report

In September 2025, we repaid our $500 million 0.75 percent senior notes, due in 2025, using cash on hand. See NOTE 9, “DEBT,” to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementsfor additional information.

Current report

•Power Systems segment sales increased 18 percent primarily due to higher demand in power generation markets, especially in North America, India and China.

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $135 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and decreased 0.3 points as a percentage of net sales versus the comparable period in 2024. The decreases were mainly due to lower compensation expenses.

Current report

Research, development and engineering expenses decreased $61 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and decreased 0.1 points as a percentage of net sales versus the comparable period in 2024. The decreases were mainly due to lower compensation expenses.

Current report

The three months ended September 30, 2024, contained net favorable discrete tax items of $36 million, primarily due to $20 million of favorable adjustments from tax return amendments, $15 million of favorable return to provision adjustments and $2 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefits, partially offset by $1 million of other unfavorable adjustments.

Current report

Engine segment sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025, decreased $308 million versus the comparable period in 2024. The following were the primary drivers by market:

Current report

These decreases were partially offset by the following increases:

Current report

•Light-duty automotive sales increased $188 million primarily due to higher pick-up demand, especially in North America, and non-tariff pricing mainly related to the launch of updated engine products, partially offset by the absence of a customer agreement recorded in the third quarter of 2024 providing for a price adjustment for certain units sold beginning January 1, 2024.

Current report

Power Systems segment sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased $869 million versus the comparable period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to increased power generation sales of $591 million mainly due to higher demand in North America and China.

Current report

•Changes in government policies (such as reduced incentives, delayed infrastructure mandates, or revised emissions standards) may impact Accelera’s ability to compete, scale, or recover investments in zero-emission technologies. The reduction of government incentives in the US to support the adoption of hydrogen fuel, along with slower than expected market development in some international markets, has contributed to lower expectations for demand for our electrolyzer products. In the third quarter, we recorded non-cash charges for goodwill impairment and inventory write-downs related to the electrolyzer business. Due to the significantly weaker prospects for demand, management is actively pursuing a strategic review of the business, which may result in additional charges in future periods.

Current report

•Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emissions, including greenhouse gas (GHG) standards set by the EPA and fuel consumption standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). To comply with these regulations, we utilize banking and trading of regulatory compliance credits. In June 2025, NHTSA published an interpretive rule questioning the current regulatory framework of allowing credits as a compliance vehicle. In July 2025, the EPA published a proposed rule that would repeal GHG emissions standards and thus remove the requirement for vehicle and engine manufacturers to measure, control and report these emissions from vehicles. If both regulatory agencies finalize their indicated proposals, we will no longer utilize emission compliance credits on future engines sales and the credits would have minimal, if any, value to us. While the rules will likely be subject to legal challenges, in the period the rule is finalized, we could be required to incur a non-cash expense up to the value of our existing credits, which was $149 million at September 30, 2025.

Current report

•The prevailing regulatory landscape has created uncertainty regarding the future of the North American emissions regulations for 2027.

Previous report

In the first six months of 2025, we entered into a series of interest rate lock agreements including 5-year and 10-year locks, with notional amounts totaling $200 million and $500 million, respectively, to reduce variability of cash flows of interest payments on debt forecasted to be issued in 2025 to replace our senior notes at maturity and for other general purposes. In the second quarter of 2025, with the issuance of senior unsecured notes, we settled all $700 million of interest rate lock agreements. The immaterial net losses from settlement will be amortized over the remaining term of the related debt. See NOTE 13, "DERIVATIVES," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementsfor additional information.

Previous wording

As disclosed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we operate our business on a global basis and changes in international, national and regional trade laws, regulations and policies affecting and/or restricting international trade, including higher tariffs and trade disruptions (such as embargoes, sanctions and export controls), could adversely impact the demand for our products and our competitive position. The uncertain tariff environment, marked by the U.S. imposition of tariffs on certain countries, followed by the imposition of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods and services by certain countries has introduced significant market volatility and raised concerns about potential economic impacts. Our primary risks include reduced global movement of goods impacting freight activity, increased costs for suppliers and end-users and uncertainty around the availability of supply, all of which could contribute to a decline in business confidence, a reduction in demand for our products and increased product costs. Our tariff related costs increased during the second quarter. We have and continue to look for ways to mitigate these costs including discussions with our suppliers, sourcing alternatives and agreements with our customers to recover these costs. The financial impact of tariffs, net of mitigation actions, was immaterial to our profitability and operating cash flows in the second quarter of 2025. We expect tariff-related costs and recoveries to increase from second quarter levels, assuming that the current level of tariffs remain in place. The continued tariff costs, the effectiveness of our mitigation efforts and the resulting market volatility could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in the future. We will continue work to minimize the related impacts to our business to the extent possible. See the "OUTLOOK" section for a discussion of the potential tariff impacts for the remainder of 2025.
