“Second-quarter 2022 results demonstrate solid year-over-year performance. Net sales growth of 10% was once again surpassed by diluted earnings per share growth of 25%,” Allison Chairman and CEO David Graziosi said in a release. “Per-share returns in excess of net sales and net income growth are driven by Allison’s disciplined and well-defined approach to capital allocation. In spite of a challenging environment, the Allison team continues to deliver balanced execution, while driving multiyear growth initiatives across all of our end markets.”
Adjusted free cash flow for the quarter was $36 million, a decrease of $59 million from $95 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease reflected lower net cash provided by operating activities partially offset by lower capital expenditures.
In North America, its largest market, on-highway revenue increased to $340 million in the second quarter compared with $302 million a year earlier, and reflected continued strength in customer demand for last-mile delivery, regional haul and vocational trucks, according to the company. Off-highway revenue rose to $20 million compared with $9 million a year earlier. Defense revenue fell to $29 million compared with $48 million a year earlier.
On-highway revenue from outside North America was $105 million compared with $98 million a year earlier. Off-highway revenue was $32 million compared with $18 million.
In the quarter, its service parts, support equipment and other segment increased revenue to $138 million compared with $128 million in the 2021 period.
