INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison Transmission Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ALSN), the largest global provider of commercial duty fully-automatic transmissions, today reported net sales for the third quarter of $493 million, an 11 percent decrease from the same period in 2014. The decrease in net sales was principally driven by lower demand in the global Off-Highway end markets partially offset by higher demand in the North America On-Highway end market and price increases on certain products.

Adjusted Net Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the quarter was $123 million, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $138 million for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $15 million. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the quarter was $174 million, or 35.3 percent of net sales, compared to $202 million, or 36.5 percent of net sales, for the same period in 2014. Adjusted Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the quarter was $142 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, compared to $164 million for the same period in 2014, or $0.91 per diluted share.

Lawrence E. Dewey, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Allison Transmission commented, "Allison's third quarter 2015 results are within the full year guidance ranges we provided to the market on July 27. Net sales in the North America On-Highway end market improved on a year-over-year basis for the ninth consecutive quarter. The year-over-year reductions in the global Off-Highway and Service Parts, Support Equipment & Other end markets net sales are consistent with the previously contemplated impact of lower energy and commodity prices. We anticipate no meaningful relief from the global Off-Highway end markets challenges in the fourth quarter and are affirming our full year net sales guidance of a decrease in the range of 6 to 8 percent year-over-year. Allison continued its prudent and well-defined approach to capital allocation during the third quarter by settling $181 million of share repurchases, paying a dividend of $0.15 per share and repaying $6 million of debt."

Third Quarter Highlights

North America On-Highway end market net sales were up 2 percent from the same period in 2014 principally driven by higher demand for Highway Series models and down 5 percent on a sequential basis principally driven by lower demand for Rugged Duty Series models.

North America Hybrid-Propulsion Systems for Transit Bus end market net sales were down 48 percent from the same period in 2014 principally driven by lower demand due to engine emissions improvements and non-hybrid alternatives that generally require a fully-automatic transmission (e.g. xNG) and down 40 percent sequentially principally driven by intra-year movement in the timing of orders.

North America Off-Highway end market net sales were down 60 percent from the same period in 2014 principally driven by lower demand from hydraulic fracturing applications and up 20 percent on a sequential basis principally driven by intra-year movement in the timing of orders.

Defense end market net sales were down 3 percent from the same period in 2014 principally driven by reductions in U.S. defense spending to longer term averages experienced during periods without active conflicts and up 17 percent sequentially principally driven by intra-year movement in the timing of orders.

Outside North America On-Highway end market net sales were down 8 percent from the same period in 2014 principally driven by lower demand in China partially offset by higher demand in Europe, and down 8 percent on a sequential basis principally driven by lower demand in Europe and India.

Outside North America Off-Highway end market net sales were down 78 percent from the same period in 2014 principally driven by lower demand in the energy sector and down 50 percent sequentially principally driven by lower demand in the energy and mining sectors.

Service Parts, Support Equipment & Other end market net sales were down 14 percent from the same period in 2014 principally driven by lower demand for North America service parts and up 9 percent on a sequential basis principally driven by higher demand for North America service parts.

Gross profit for the quarter was $236 million, a decrease of 9 percent from $259 million for the same period in 2014. Gross margin for the quarter was 47.9 percent, an increase of 100 basis points from a gross margin of 46.9 percent for the same period in 2014. The decrease in gross profit from the same period in 2014 was principally driven by decreased sales volume partially offset by price increases on certain products, favorable material costs and lower incentive compensation expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter were $87 million, a decrease of 1 percent from $88 million for the same period in 2014, principally driven by lower incentive and stock based compensation expense, and reduced global commercial spending activities partially offset by unfavorable product warranty adjustments.

Engineering – research and development expenses for the quarter were $24 million, a decrease of $1 million from $25 million for the same period in 2014, principally driven by lower incentive compensation expense.

Third Quarter Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted Net Income for the quarter was $123 million, compared to $138 million for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $15 million. The decrease was principally driven by decreased sales volume and unfavorable product warranty adjustments partially offset by price increases on certain products, favorable material costs, lower incentive and stock based compensation expense, reduced global commercial spending activities and decreased cash interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $174 million, or 35.3 percent of net sales, compared to $202 million, or 36.5 percent of net sales, for the same period in 2014. The decrease was principally driven by decreased sales volume and unfavorable product warranty adjustments partially offset by price increases on certain products, favorable material costs, lower incentive compensation expense and reduced global commercial spending activities.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the quarter was $142 million compared to $164 million for the same period in 2014, a decrease of $22 million. The decrease was principally driven by decreased net cash provided by operating activities and decreased excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation.

Full Year 2015 Guidance Update

We are affirming the full year 2015 guidance ranges released to the market on July 27: net sales decrease of 6 to 8 percent year-over-year, an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 34.75 to 35.75 percent, an Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $470 to $500 million, capital expenditures of $60 to $70 million and cash income taxes of $10 to $15 million.

Although we are not providing specific fourth quarter 2015 guidance, Allison does expect fourth quarter net sales to be lower than the same period in 2014. The anticipated year-over-year decrease in fourth quarter net sales is expected to occur due to lower demand in the global Off-Highway and Defense end markets.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks. Factors which may cause the actual results to differ materially from those anticipated at the time the forward-looking statements are made include, but are not limited to: risks related to our substantial indebtedness; our participation in markets that are competitive; the highly cyclical industries in which certain of our end users operate; the failure of markets outside North America to increase adoption of fully-automatic transmissions; the concentration of our net sales in our top five customers and the loss of any one of these; future reductions or changes in government subsidies for hybrid vehicles, U.S. defense spending; general economic and industry conditions; the discovery of defects in our products, resulting in delays in new model launches, recall campaigns and/or increased warranty costs and reduction in future sales or damage to our brand and reputation; our ability to prepare for, respond to and successfully achieve our objectives relating to technological and market developments and changing customer needs; risks associated with our international operations; labor strikes, work stoppages or similar labor disputes, which could significantly disrupt our operations or those of our principal customers; and other risks and uncertainties associated with our business described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that the expectations will be attained or that any deviation will not be material.
