Cummins Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results, Incurs Charges Associated with Reorganization of Accelera

Fourth quarter revenues of $8.4 billion; GAAP1 Net Income of $418 million, or 4.9% of sales
EBITDA in the fourth quarter was 12.1% of sales; Diluted EPS of $3.02
Fourth quarter results include $312 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, of Accelera strategic reorganization actions, of which $305 million were non-cash charges
Full year 2024 revenues of $34.1 billion; GAAP1 Net Income of $3.9 billion, or 11.6% of sales
EBITDA for full year 2024 was 18.6% of sales; Diluted EPS of $28.37
Full year 2025 revenues expected to range from down 2% to up 3%; EBITDA expected to range between 16.2% and 17.2% of sales

COLUMBUS, IND. - Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2024 results.

“Cummins delivered strong operational results in the fourth quarter and achieved record full year revenues, net income, EBITDA and EPS, despite a decline in heavy duty truck demand in North America,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Chair and CEO of Cummins. “In the fourth quarter, we recorded charges related to the reorganization of our Accelera by Cummins segment. The charges were the result of a strategic review to streamline operations and focus investments, as the adoption of certain zero-emissions solutions has slowed in some regions around the world.”

“2024 marked a transformative year for Cummins as we made significant progress in advancing our Destination Zero strategy and delivered record results. I am tremendously proud of our employees for delivering innovative technologies for our customers, strengthening our position in key markets and achieving our financial performance targets,” concluded Rumsey.

Fourth quarter 2024 revenues of $8.4 billion decreased 1% from the same quarter in 2023. Sales in North America were flat while international revenues decreased 3%.

Net income attributable to Cummins in the fourth quarter was $418 million, or $3.02 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.4 billion, or $(10.01) per diluted share, in 2023. The current quarter results include Accelera reorganization actions of $312 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, which were primarily non-cash charges. The fourth quarter of 2023 included the recording of a charge related to the Settlement Agreements of $2.0 billion, or $13.76 per diluted share; costs related to the voluntary retirement and separation programs of $42 million, or $0.22 per diluted share; and costs related to the separation of Atmus of $33 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. The tax rate in the fourth quarter was
1


32.8% due primarily to non-deductible costs related to the Accelera reorganization actions.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the fourth quarter were $1.0 billion, or 12.1% of sales, compared to a loss of $878 million, or negative 10.3% of sales, a year ago. EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2023 included the costs noted above.

Full year 2024 revenues of $34.1 billion were flat to 2023. Sales in North America increased 1% and international revenues decreased 1% compared to 2023. 2023 included a full year of Atmus Filtration Technologies revenues, whereas 2024 included Atmus until final separation on March 18.

Net income for the full year 2024 was $3.9 billion, or $28.37 per diluted share, compared to $735 million, or $5.15 per diluted share, in 2023. 2024 results included the gain related to the separation of Atmus, net of transaction costs and other expenses, of $1.3 billion, or $9.28 per diluted share; charges related to Accelera reorganization actions of $312 million, or $2.12 per diluted share; and first quarter restructuring expenses of $29 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. Full year 2023 results included costs related to the Settlement Agreements of $2.0 billion, or $13.78 per diluted share; costs related to the separation of Atmus of $100 million, or $0.54 per diluted share; and costs related to the voluntary retirement and separation programs of $42 million, or $0.22 per diluted share. The tax rate in 2024 was 17.0%, primarily due to the non-taxable gain on the separation of Atmus partially offset by non-deductible costs related to the Accelera reorganization actions.

EBITDA in 2024 was $6.3 billion, or 18.6% of sales, compared to $3.0 billion, or 8.9% of sales, a year ago. EBITDA for 2024 and 2023 included the gains and costs noted above.

2025 Outlook:

Based on its current forecast, Cummins projects full year 2025 revenue to be in the range of down 2% to up 3%, and EBITDA to be in the range of 16.2% and 17.2% of sales.

Cummins plans to continue generating strong operating cash flow and returns for shareholders and is committed to our long-term strategic goal of returning 50% of operating cash flow back to shareholders.

“In 2025, we anticipate that demand will be slightly weaker in the North America on-highway truck markets, particularly in the first half of the year, but offset by strength in other key markets. Despite a relatively flat revenue forecast and relative weakness in the key North America truck markets, we expect to improve profitability and cash flow. Cummins remains well-positioned to deliver strong financial performance, invest in future growth and return cash to shareholders,” said Rumsey.

2024 Highlights:

Cummins increased its common stock cash dividend for the 15th straight year and returned a total of $969 million to shareholders through dividends.

Cummins finalized the complete separation of Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. through a share exchange offer which reduced Cummins’ shares outstanding by approximately 5.6 million shares.

Cummins introduced the Cummins HELM™ engine platforms. Applied across Cummins’ legendary B, X10 and X15-series engine portfolios, the HELM platforms provide customers
2


with the option to choose the fuel type – either advanced diesel or alternate fuels like natural gas and hydrogen – that best suits their business needs and offers the power customers expect – while also reducing emissions. In September, Cummins began full production of the X15N™ natural gas engine at the Jamestown Engine Plant in New York, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2024.

Cummins and Isuzu announced the launch of a new 6.7-liter engine designed for use in Isuzu’s new medium-duty truck lineup available in Japan and other global markets. Cummins also announced plans to launch a battery electric powertrain for Isuzu’s F-series in North America. Availability of the medium-duty truck is expected in 2026 and will include Accelera’s next generation lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology.

Accelera™ by Cummins, Daimler Trucks & Buses, PACCAR and EVE Energy completed the formation of their joint venture, Amplify Cell Technologies, to localize battery cell production and the battery supply chain in the United States. This strategic collaboration will advance zero-emissions technology for electric commercial vehicles and industrial applications. Amplify began construction of a 21-gigawatt hour (GWh) factory in Marshall County, Miss., with potential for further expansion as demand grows. The factory is expected to create more than 2,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs and is targeting the start of production in 2027.

Cummins Power Generation introduced four new generator sets to the award-winning Centum™ Series, two each powered by Cummins’ QSK50 and QSK78 engines. In response to high market demand, these new models have been engineered specifically for the most critical applications such as data centers, healthcare facilities and wastewater treatment plants. These products build on decades of experience meeting our customers' needs and deliver a step-change improvement in power density, assured reliability, sustainability and low emissions.

Cummins received several prestigious honors recognizing our focus on our people and our communities. Of note, we were named industry leader in the Commercial Vehicle and Machinery category for America’s Most JUST Companies list and a 2024 Handshake Early Talent Award winner for our role in shaping the workforce of the future. For the third consecutive year, Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) awarded Cummins a rating of AAA – the highest sustainability rating in the industry. Additionally, we were named a Veteran Friendly Employer by U.S. Veterans Magazine, a Top Company for Women to Work in Transportation, and ranked in the top 100 on Glassdoor’s Best Places to work in 2024.

3


Components Segment

Sales - $2.6 billion, down 17%
Segment EBITDA - $361 million, or 13.7% of sales compared to $406 million, or 12.7% of sales, which included $28 million of costs related to the separation of Atmus and $9 million of costs related to the 2023 voluntary retirement and separation programs.
Revenues in North America decreased by 12% and international sales decreased by 24% primarily due to the separation of Atmus and lower demand in heavy-duty truck markets.

Distribution Segment

Sales - $3.1 billion, up 13%
Segment EBITDA - $400 million, or 13.0% of sales, compared to $269 million, or 9.9% of sales
Revenues in North America increased 10% and international sales increased by 19% driven by increased demand for power generation products, particularly for data center applications, and pricing actions.

Power Systems Segment

Sales - $1.7 billion, up 22%
Segment EBITDA - $314 million, or 18.0% of sales, compared to $182 million, or 12.7% of sales
Revenues in North America increased 42% and international sales increased by 12% driven primarily by increased power generation demand, particularly for the data center market.

Accelera Segment

Sales - $100 million, up 23%
Segment EBITDA loss - $431 million, which includes $312 million of costs related to strategic reorganization actions.
Revenues increased due to higher eMobility demand. Beyond the expenses associated with the strategic reorganization actions, costs associated with the development of electric powertrains, fuel cells and electrolyzers, as well as products to support battery electric vehicles, are contributing to EBITDA losses.

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

ACCELERA STRATEGIC REORGANIZATION ACTIONS

In the fourth quarter of 2024, our Accelera segment underwent a strategic review to better streamline operations as well as pace and re-focus investments on the most promising paths as the adoption of certain zero emission solutions slows. This review resulted in decisions to consolidate certain manufacturing efforts, focus internal development efforts towards areas of differentiation while continuing to leverage partners and reduce our investments in certain technologies, joint ventures and markets. In addition, declining customer demand in certain key product lines caused us to re-evaluate the recoverability of certain inventory items. As a result of these actions, we recorded several non-cash charges in the fourth quarter related to inventory write-downs, intangible and fixed asset impairments and joint venture impairments. We also recorded severance of approximately $7 million. The following table presents the impact of asset write-downs and impairments on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income:

Year ended
In millionsDecember 31,

Statement of Net Income Location
Inventory write-downs$107 Cost of sales

Impairment of investments in equity method investees17 Equity, royalty and interest income from investees
SeveranceCost of sales and research, development and engineering expenses
Other36 Other operating expense, net and selling, general and administrative expenses
Total$312 

The majority of the $305 million non-cash charge is reflected in net cash provided by operating activities, as a change in inventory of $107 million and other, net of $171 million. Of the total charges, approximately $243 million occurred in jurisdictions where we receive no tax benefits because of valuation allowances, resulting in a $50 million unfavorable discrete tax item. In addition, these actions were considered a triggering event under GAAP which required us to perform an interim impairment test of our fuel cell and electrolyzer reporting unit. The results of this testing indicated that goodwill of this reporting unit was not impaired.

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 and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, were 32.8 percent and 17.0 percent, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, were negative 13.3 percent and 48.3 percent, respectively.
The three months ended December 31, 2024, contained net unfavorable discrete tax items of $7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, primarily due to $50 million of unfavorable adjustments related to Accelera strategic reorganization actions, partially offset by $34 million of favorable return to provision adjustments and net $9 million of other favorable adjustments.
The year ended December 31, 2024, contained net favorable discrete tax items primarily due to the $1.3 billion non-taxable gain on the Atmus split-off. Other discrete tax items were net favorable by $59 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, primarily due to $52 million of favorable return to provision adjustments, $22 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefits, $21 million of favorable adjustments related to audit settlements and $20 million of favorable adjustments from tax return amendments, partially offset by $50 million of unfavorable adjustments related to Accelera strategic reorganization actions and a net $6 million of other unfavorable adjustments.
The three months ended December 31, 2023, contained net unfavorable discrete tax items of $402 million, primarily due to $398 million related to the $2.0 billion charge from the Settlement Agreements and $4 million of net unfavorable other discrete items.
The year ended December 31, 2023, contained unfavorable net discrete items of $397 million, primarily due to $398 million in the fourth quarter related to the $2.0 billion charge from the Settlement Agreements, $22 million of unfavorable adjustments for uncertain tax positions and $3 million of net unfavorable other discrete tax items, partially offset by $21 million of favorable return to provision adjustments and $5 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefits.

FINANCIAL MEASURES THAT SUPPLEMENT GAAP

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, costs associated with the Accelera strategic reorganization actions, the Settlement Agreements, voluntary retirement and voluntary separation programs 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:
