Recent Developments
Current report
On June 11, 2025, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Dana to acquire the Acquired Off-Highway Business (the "Acquisition"). Also on June 11, 2025, in connection with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with a group of lenders (the "Lenders"), pursuant to which the Lenders committed to provide a 364-day senior unsecured bridge term loan facility (the “Bridge Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Bridge Facility aggregate commitment principal amount had been reduced to $500 million as a result of the issuance of $500 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.875% Senior Notes due December 2033 (“5.875% Senior Notes 2033”) and our election to voluntarily reduce the aggregate commitments under the facility.
Current report
On January 1, 2026, the Acquisition was completed for a purchase price of approximately $2,732 million, subject to certain adjustments, using a combination of cash on hand, the $500 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes 2033, $1,200 million of proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, and $300 million borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility. No amount was drawn from the Bridge Facility, and it was terminated upon the completion of the Acquisition.
Current report
As a result of the Acquisition, we now offer an expanded portfolio of drivetrain, motion and propulsion solutions, providing complementary product breadth and an enhanced ability to support customers across multiple end markets. The Acquired Off-Highway Business has historically served end markets with demand characteristics that differ from our traditional on-highway markets, contributing to a more diversified portfolio.
Current report
Following the Acquisition, we continue to operate under the Allison name, but our operations are now comprised of two business units: Allison Transmission and Allison Off-Highway Drive & Motion Systems. Business unit leadership is located globally, reflecting the international nature of our operations and the importance of local market insights, sourcing, production and customer support.
Current report
Allison Transmission offers more than 200 different models compatible with more than 500 combinations of engine brands, models and ratings, including diesel, gasoline, natural gas and other alternative fuels. In addition, Allison Transmission has developed thousands of proprietary calibrations available for use with our electronic control modules, enabling tailored performance across a broad range of customer applications.
Current report
Allison Off-Highway Drive & Motion Systems provides drivetrain and motion solutions for a wide range of mobile and stationary off-highway equipment. These solutions include optimized drivetrain systems, propulsion components and motion technologies designed for industries such as construction, agriculture, mining, material handling and other industrial applications. The portfolio encompasses systems that manage power conveyance to machines and power work functions, including axles, gearboxes, transmissions and related components, as well as motion systems tailored to customer performance and efficiency requirements across both conventional and electrified powertrains. The global engineering, manufacturing and service footprint of the Acquired Off-Highway Business supports localized responsiveness and technical support for customers in key off-highway end markets.
Current report
In 2026, we expect to have higher net sales driven by our North America On-Highway and Defense end markets and net sales for Allison Off-Highway Drive & Motion Systems driven by our Construction & Material Handling end market.
Current report
North America On-Highway end market net sales were down 12% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, principally driven by lower demand for medium-duty and class 8 vocational trucks, partially offset by price increases on certain products and market share gains for hybrid propulsion systems for transit buses.
Current report
Defense end market net sales were up 26% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, principally driven by increased demand for Tracked vehicle applications, price increases on certain products and the continued execution of our growth initiatives.

Loss associated with impairment of long-lived assets
Current report
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we recorded $29 million of losses associated with the impairment of long-lived assets related to the production of certain electrified products. See "Note 5. Property, Plant and Equipment” and "Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional details.
Current report
Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $92 million compared to $89 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 3%. The increase was principally driven by $5 million of increased interest expense from amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Bridge Facility.

Current report
On January 2, 2026, we entered into Amendment No. 5 (the "Amendment") to the Credit Agreement to provide for the Incremental Term Loan under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount equal to $1,200 million, which matures on January 2, 2033 (with a springing maturity to the maturity date of the Term Loan in the event that Term Loan matures on any date prior to January 2, 2033), and increased the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility by $250 million to an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000 million. The Amendment also extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility from March 13, 2029 to January 2, 2031. Additionally, on January 2, 2026, we borrowed $300 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds from the borrowings under the Incremental Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility were used to pay a portion of the consideration for the Acquisition and fees, costs and expenses related to the Acquisition.
Current report
In connection with the Acquisition, we entered into the Commitment Letter, which provided for up to $2,000 million of borrowing capacity under the Bridge Facility. As of December 31, 2025, the Bridge Facility aggregate commitment principal amount had been reduced to $500 million as a result of the issuance of our 5.875% Senior Notes 2033 and our election to voluntarily reduce the aggregate commitments under the facility. No amount was drawn from the Bridge Facility, and it was terminated upon completion of the Acquisition on January 1, 2026.
Current report
Generally, cash provided by operating activities has been adequate to fund our operations. We had significant liquidity, including $1,495 million of cash and cash equivalents and $745 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $5 million in letters of credit, as of December 31, 2025. On January 2, 2026, we entered into the Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which increased the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility by $250 million to an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,000 million, $300 million of which was borrowed to pay a portion of the consideration for the Acquisition and fees, costs and expenses related to the Acquisition. Following the closing of the Acquisition, we had $263 million of cash and cash equivalents and $695 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $5 million in letters of credit.
Current report
We elected to perform a Step 1 quantitative impairment analysis of goodwill in 2025, which indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, indicating no impairment. The fair value was determined utilizing a discounted cash flow model, which includes key assumptions, such as net sales growth derived from market information, industry reports, marketing programs and certain growth initiatives; operating margin improvements derived from cost reduction programs and fixed cost leverage driven by higher sales volumes; and a risk-adjusted discount rate. Events or circumstances that could unfavorably impact the key assumptions include lower net sales driven by market conditions, our inability to execute on marketing programs and/or growth initiatives, lower gross margins as a result of market conditions or failure to obtain forecasted cost reductions, or a higher discount rate as a result of market conditions. While unpredictable and inherently uncertain, management believes the forecast estimates were reasonable and incorporate assumptions that similar market participants would use in their estimates of fair value.
Current report
As a result of events and circumstances in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily deteriorating market conditions, we performed an impairment analysis on certain of our long-lived assets related to the production of certain electrified products. We used a market approach to determine the fair value of the assets, resulting in an $8 million and a $21 million impairment loss recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025 for tangible and intangible assets, respectively.

We use Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“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 and Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales is Net income and Net income as a percent of net sales, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, amortization of intangible assets, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and other adjustments as defined by the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 29, 2019 as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), governing ATI's Term Loan facility in the amount of $514 million due March 2031 (“Term Loan”) and ATI’s revolving credit facility with commitments in the amount of $750 million due March 2029 ("Revolving Credit Facility" and, together with the Term Loan, the "Senior Secured Credit Facility"). Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of net sales is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales.

Short-term and long-term debt service liquidity requirements consist of $1 million of minimum required quarterly principal payments on ATI’s Term Loan through its maturity date of March 2031 and periodic interest payments on ATI’s Term Loan and the Senior Notes. There are no required quarterly principal payments on the Senior Notes. Long-term debt service liquidity requirements also consist of the payment in full of any remaining principal balance of ATI’s Term Loan and the Senior Notes upon their respective maturity dates.

We made $104 million and $7 million of principal payments on the Term Loan during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our ability to make payments on and refinance our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures and growth initiatives will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for a $750 million Revolving Credit Facility, net of an allowance for up to $75 million in outstanding letter of credit commitments. As of December 31, 2024, we had $744 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility, net of $6 million in letters of credit. As of December 31, 2024, we had no amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. If we have commitments outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility at the end of a fiscal quarter, the Senior Secured Credit Facility requires us to maintain a specified maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 5.50x. Additionally, within the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, a first lien net leverage ratio at or below 4.00x results in the elimination of excess cash flow payments on the Senior Secured Credit Facility for the applicable year. As of December 31, 2024, our first lien net leverage ratio was (0.23x). The Senior Secured Credit Facility also provides certain financial incentives based on our first lien net leverage ratio. A first lien net leverage ratio at or below 4.00x and above 3.50x results in a 25 basis point reduction to the applicable margin on the Revolving Credit Facility. A first lien net leverage ratio at or below 3.50x results in an additional 25 basis point reduction to the applicable margin on the Revolving Credit Facility. These reductions remain in effect as long as we achieve a first lien net leverage ratio at or below the related threshold.

Previous wording
Operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 generated $801 million of cash compared to $784 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was principally driven by higher gross profit, lower cash interest payments and lower cash income taxes, partially offset by higher operating working capital funding requirements, higher cash incentive compensation payments and non-recurring UAW contract signing incentive payments.
Current wording
Operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 generated $836 million of cash compared to $801 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was principally driven by lower cash income taxes, lower operating working capital funding requirements, UAW Local 933 contract signing incentives recognized in 2024 that did not reoccur in 2025 and decreased defined benefit pension plans funding payments, partially offset by lower gross profit, payments for expenses related to the Acquisition, lower cash interest received on interest rate swaps and higher cash incentive compensation payments.
Previous wording
Investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 used $147 million of cash compared to $129 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous wording
Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 used $427 million of cash compared to $332 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was principally driven by $97 million of increased payments on our long-term debt, $4 million of debt financing fees associated with the amendment of the Credit Agreement governing our Senior Secured Credit Facility and $4 million of increased dividend payments, partially offset by $9 million of lower stock repurchases under the Repurchase Program and a $4 million increase in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Current wording
Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 provided $57 million of cash compared to using $427 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was principally driven by $500 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes 2033 and $99 million of decreased payments on our long-term debt, partially offset by $74 million of higher stock repurchases under the Repurchase Program, $24 million of lower proceeds from the exercise of stock options, $8 million of increased debt financing fees primarily associated with the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes 2033 and the Bridge Facility and $5 million of higher taxes paid related to the net share settlement of equity awards.

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) authoritative accounting guidance on goodwill, we do not amortize goodwill but rather evaluate it for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances change that could cause goodwill to become impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is the same as our one operating and reportable segment. We do not aggregate any components into our reporting unit.

Other intangible assets have both indefinite and finite useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment, or more often if events or circumstances change that could cause intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to become impaired. After reviewing the various qualitative factors mentioned above, our annual 2024 indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests, as of October 31, 2024, indicated that the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets more likely than not exceeded their respective carrying values, indicating no impairment.
Current wording
Other intangible assets have both indefinite and finite useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment, or more often if events or circumstances change that could cause intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to become impaired. We elected to perform our annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests on October 31, 2025 and followed a similar multi-step impairment test that was performed on goodwill. Using the relief-from-royalty method under the income valuation approach, our 2025 annual trade name impairment test indicated that the fair value of the trade name exceeded its carrying value, indicating no impairment. Events or circumstances that could unfavorably impact the key assumptions included lower net sales driven by market conditions, our inability to execute on marketing programs and/or growth initiatives, lower gross margin as a result of market conditions or failure to obtain forecasted cost reductions, or a higher discount rate as a result of market conditions. While unpredictable and inherently uncertain, we believe the forecast estimates are reasonable and incorporate those assumptions that similar market participants would use in their estimates of fair value.
