We can better serve our customers while creating additional opportunities for employee success across our organization.

Speaker #3: The third category of our synergy capture plan focuses on building a more efficient organization that can support future growth. As we combine our operations, we will integrate Allison's corporate functions, eliminating redundancies and duplicative activities, and aligning our organizational structure with the needs of the combined business.

Speaker #3: We can better serve our customers while creating additional opportunities for employee success across our organization. Collectively, our three synergy capture categories will enhance our cost structure and cash flows, strengthen operational resilience, improve organizational agility, and position Allison to deliver sustained, long-term value for our stakeholders.

David Graziosi: Collectively, our three synergy capture categories will enhance our cost structure and cash flows, strengthen operational resilience, improve organizational agility, and position Allison to deliver sustained long-term value for our stakeholders. On the right side of the slide, you'll note the expected timing of synergy realization over the next few years. We expect to realize approximately 40% of our $120 million annual run rate synergy target by the end of 2027. Further, we expect to realize another 40% by the end of 2028, and full realization by the end of 2029. Importantly, the majority of our identified strategies are currently in various stages of execution. The underlying initiatives have been identified. Detail implementation plans have been developed, accountable owners have been assigned, and the necessary resource planning has been completed. Where capital investments are required to enable these initiatives, funding has already been appropriated, allowing execution to proceed without delay.

David Graziosi: This high level of execution provides a strong foundation for achieving our targeted timeline with a high degree of confidence. In addition, we continue to evaluate further opportunities that could provide incremental value beyond our current target as the integration teams work closely, collaborating on identifying additional efficiencies. I'll turn the call over to Scott for a review of Allison's Q2 2026 financial performance and full year 2026 guidance update. Scott?

Speaker #3: Now I'll turn the call over to Scott for a review of Allison's second-quarter 2026 financial performance and full-year 2026 guidance update. Scott?

Speaker #2: Thank you, Dave. And thanks to those of you joining us on the call. Please flip the slide nine of the presentation. As Dave covered in his prepared remarks, net sales in the second quarter increased 92 percent year over year, to 1 billion 566 million dollars.

Scott Mell: Thank you, Dave, and thanks to those of you joining us on the call. Please flip to slide nine of the presentation. As Dave covered in his prepared remarks, net sales in Q2 increased 92% year-over-year to $1,566,000,000. The year-over-year increase was driven by the addition of the Allison Off-Highway business unit, along with a 6% increase in the Allison Transmission business unit, with record quarterly net sales of $860 million. Validated Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $404 million, a $91 million increase year-over-year, representing a 25.8% margin. Q2 adjusted diluted EPS was $2.73, increasing 8% year-over-year. Cash generation remained exceptionally strong in Q2, with record quarterly adjusted free cash flow of $281 million, an 84% increase year-over-year.

Speaker #2: The year-over-year increase was driven by the addition of the Allison Off-Highway Business Unit, along with a 6 percent increase in the Allison Transmission Business Unit, with record quarterly net sales of 860 million dollars.

Speaker #2: Validated adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was 404 million dollars, a 91 million dollar increase year over year, representing a 25.8 percent margin. Second quarter adjusted diluted EPS was 2 dollars and 73 cents, increasing 8 percent year over year.

Speaker #2: Cash generation remained exceptionally strong in the second quarter, with record quarterly adjusted free cash flow of $281 million, an 84 percent increase year over year.

Speaker #2: Enabled by our disciplined operational execution, we delivered strong cash generation despite headwinds from higher steel and aluminum costs, as well as broader inflationary pressures.

Scott Mell: Enabled by our disciplined operational execution, we delivered strong cash generation despite headwinds from higher steel and aluminum costs, as well as broader inflationary pressures. Importantly, while commodity cost inflation is creating a near-term margin headwind, we ultimately recover a substantial portion of these higher costs from customers on a six to 12 month lag. Regarding capital allocation, I will briefly reiterate our priorities. First and foremost, we intend to fund the business for growth. In the near term, we will also continue to reduce debt to reach our near term leverage target of two times. During Q2, we remained committed to deleveraging by repaying the remaining $150 million of amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Excess cash will continue to be returned to shareholders through our quarterly dividend and share repurchases.

Speaker #2: Regarding capital allocation, I will briefly reiterate our priorities. First and foremost, we intend to fund the business for growth. In the near term, we will also continue to reduce debt to reach our near-term leverage target of 2x.

Speaker #2: During the second quarter, we remain committed to deleveraging by repaying the remaining $150 million of amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Excess cash will continue to be returned to shareholders through our quarterly dividend and share repurchases.

Speaker #2: During the second quarter, we repurchased $46 million of our common stock and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share. Before moving on, as a reminder, reconciliations for non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the appendix of the second quarter earnings presentation and earnings press release.

Before moving on, as a reminder, reconciliations for non-GAAP financial measures can be found in the appendix of the Q2 earnings presentation and earnings press release. You can find further detail on financial performance by segment on slide 10 of the presentation. There will also be more detail provided in our Form 10-Q to be published later this week. Please turn to slide 11 for our full year guidance update for 2026. Given our Q2 results and improving conditions across our end markets, we are increasing our full year 2026 guidance. For 2026 revenue, we expect consolidated net sales in the range of $5,800,000,000 to $6,000,000,000.

Speaker #2: Please turn to slide 11 for our full-year guidance update for 2026. Given our second quarter results, and improving conditions across our end markets, we are increasing our full-year 2026 guidance.

Speaker #2: For 2026 revenue, we expect consolidated net sales in the range of $5.8 billion to $6 billion. For earnings, we expect consolidated net income in the range of $600 million to $700 million, subject to the completion of purchase price accounting associated with the acquisition of the Off-Highway Business Unit.

Scott Mell: For earnings, we expect consolidated net income in the range of $600 million to $700 million, subject to the completion of purchase price accounting associated with the acquisition of the Off-Highway Business Unit. Our net income guidance for 2026 includes approximately $140 million of one-time pre-tax expenses associated with the separation, integration, and restructuring of the Allison Off-Highway Business Unit, including approximately $75 million of expenses related to the stepped-up basis in inventory. Despite these one-time costs, we expect the Allison Off-Highway acquisition to be accretive to net income and earnings per share in 2026. We expect consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $1,465,000,000 to $1,575,000,000. At the midpoint, this implies an approximate 26% Adjusted EBITDA margin.

Speaker #2: Our net income guidance for 2026 includes approximately 140 million dollars of one-time pre-tax expenses associated with the separation integration and restructuring of the Allison Off-Highway Business Unit, including approximately 75 million dollars of expenses related to the stepped-up basis and inventory.

Speaker #2: Despite these one-time costs, we expect the Allison Off-Highway acquisition to be a creative to net income and earnings per share in 2026. Further, we expect consolidated adjusted EBITDA in the range of 1 billion 465 million to 1 billion 575 million dollars.

Speaker #2: At the midpoint, this implies an approximate 26 percent adjusted EBITDA margin. For our 2026 cash flow guidance, we anticipate consolidated net cash, provided by operating activities, in the range of 1 billion 25 million to 1 billion 125 million dollars, consolidated capital expenditures in the range of 260 to 280 million dollars, including one-time separation and integration spending of approximately 30 million dollars, and consolidated adjusted net pardon me, consolidated adjusted pre-cash flow in the range of 745 to 865 million dollars.

Scott Mell: For our 2026 cash flow guidance, we anticipate consolidated net cash provided by operating activities in the range of $1,025,000,000 to $1,125,000,000, consolidated capital expenditures in the range of $260 to $280 million, including one-time separation and integration spending of approximately $30 million, and consolidated Adjusted Pre-Cash Flow in the range of $745 to $865 million. Please note that our consolidated net cash provided by operating activities guidance includes approximately $55 million of one-time cash outlays associated with our acquisition of the Allison Off-Highway Business Unit. This concludes our prepared remarks. Sherry, please open the call for questions.

Speaker #2: Please note that our consolidated net cash provided by operating activities guidance includes approximately $55 million of one-time cash outlays associated with our acquisition of the Allison Off-Highway Business Unit.

Speaker #3: As a reminder, please limit to one question. Our first question is from Rob Wertheimer with Melius Research. Please proceed.

Speaker #4: Thanks, and good afternoon. My question is basically I know we touched on this a bit last call, but on margin and the legacy business.

Rob Wertheimer: Thanks, good afternoon. My question is basically, I know we touched on this a bit last call, on margin in the legacy business. Do you feel like there's more inflation out there, more materials cost? Do you need to take more pricing to cover cost inflation and margin headwinds you've seen? Thank you.

Speaker #4: Do you feel like there's more inflation out there, more materials costs? Do you need to take more pricing to cover accounting cost inflation and margin headwinds you've seen?

Speaker #4: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Yeah, Rob, hi. It's Scott. So, certainly, looking at the legacy business, the year-over-year margin was compressed. A number of factors contributed to that—primarily, to your point, material costs.

Scott Mell: Rob. Hi, it's Scott. Certainly, looking at the legacy business, the year-over-year margin was compressed. A number of factors contributed to that, primarily, to your point, material costs. We had, I'll call it mid-teens year-over-year headwinds from material costs, aluminum and steel. You point out we do have recovery mechanisms in place, but as I mentioned on the call, there's a timing lag in those. What you're seeing in the quarter is really a reflection of some of the very quick increase, primarily in aluminum costs. If you look quarter-over-quarter, they're up almost 25%. We will recover those costs, some of those costs vis-a-vis our indexing, but obviously, that takes a bit of time. I don't know, Fred, if you have a question or response on the pricing.

Speaker #2: We had, I'll call it, mid-teens year-over-year headwinds from material costs—aluminum and steel. And you point out we do have recovery mechanisms in place, but as I mentioned on the call, there's a timing lag in those.

Speaker #2: So, what you're seeing in the quarter is really a reflection of some of the very quick increases, primarily in aluminum costs. If you look quarter over quarter, they're up almost 25%.

Speaker #2: And so, we were able to recover those costs—some of those costs—vis-à-vis our indexing, but obviously, that takes a bit of time. I don't know, Fred, if you have a question on the price, or a response on the pricing.

Speaker #4: Yeah, thanks. Thanks, Scott. Yeah, Rob, this is Fred. Relative to pricing, obviously we've secured meaningful pricing post-pandemic. The cost of the vehicles we go in continues to inflate up.

G. Frederick Bohley: Thanks, Scott. Rob, this is Fred. Relative to pricing, obviously we've secured meaningful pricing post-pandemic, and the cost of the vehicles we go in continue to inflate up the cost of the new emissions. We feel we're delivering a tremendous amount of value and are in a position where we can continue to get price above kind of the pre-pandemic levels, where we would average 50 to 75 basis points. We've got good visibility for obviously the balance of the year and a lot of the larger customers under long-term agreements going into 2027. Certainly, maintaining, improving our margins is critical to us, and we feel like we're very well-positioned to do that.

Fred Bohley: Thanks, Scott. Rob, this is Fred. Relative to pricing, obviously we've secured meaningful pricing post-pandemic, and the cost of the vehicles we go in continue to inflate up the cost of the new emissions. We feel we're delivering a tremendous amount of value and are in a position where we can continue to get price above kind of the pre-pandemic levels, where we would average 50 to 75 basis points. We've got good visibility for obviously the balance of the year and a lot of the larger customers under long-term agreements going into 2027. Certainly, maintaining, improving our margins is critical to us, and we feel like we're very well-positioned to do that.

Speaker #4: The cost of the new emissions, so we feel we're delivering a tremendous amount of value and are in a position where we can continue to get price above kind of the pre-pandemic levels, where we would average 50 to 75 basis points.

Speaker #4: We've got good visibility for, obviously, the balance of the year, and a lot of the larger customers are under long-term agreements going into 2027. So, certainly, maintaining and improving our margins is critical to us, and we feel like we're very well positioned to do that.

Speaker #3: Our next question is from Tim Thien with Raymond James. Please proceed.

Operator: Our next question is from Tim Thein with Raymond James. Please proceed.

Speaker #5: Thank you. Good afternoon. The question is just on the revenue guide. Maybe we could dig in a bit, in terms of what changed between the legacy Allison business versus Off-Highway.

Tim Thein: Thank you. Good afternoon. The question is just on the revenue guide. Maybe we could dig in a bit in terms of what changed between the legacy Allison business versus off-highway. As I think about just effectively the midpoint implies no change in terms of H1 to H2. If I look at current build rates, OEM build plans rather, for Class 8 vocational and medium up, call it circa 10% H2 over H1. I get that there's some seasonality in the off-highway business, but I guess I'm just trying to think through and maybe some of the moving pieces, relative to that midpoint, how we think about H2 versus the H1. Thank you.

Speaker #5: And as I think about just—effectively, the midpoint implies no change in terms of the first half to the second half. And if I look at current build rates—OEM build plans, rather—for Class 8 vocational and medium up, call it circa 10 percent, second half over first.

Speaker #5: And so, I get that there's some seasonality in the Off-Highway business, but I guess I'm just trying to think through it, and maybe some of the moving pieces relative to that midpoint—how we think about the second half versus the first.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Yeah, hi. Tim, that's a very good question. This is Scott. You're right. It's a bit of a tale of two cities. When you look at our four-year guide, we are expecting sequential improvement within the legacy transmission business, first half to second half.

Scott Mell: Hi, Tim. That's a very good question. This is Scott Mell. You're right. It's a bit of a tale of two cities when you look at our full-year guide. We are expecting sequential improvement within the legacy transmission business H1 to H2, again, driven by some of the macro factors that David Graziosi mentioned in his comments. On the other side of that, the H2 of the year for the new Allison Off-Highway business unit, as you pointed out, does have some seasonality associated with it, including the European business being shut down a bit next month or I guess this month now, then obviously the holidays. I think Craig Price and G. Frederick Bohley probably can speak a bit more in detail on their individual business units.

Speaker #2: Again, driven by some of the macro factors that Dave mentioned in his comments. On the other side of that, the second half of the year, for the new Off-Highway business unit, as you pointed out, does have some seasonality associated with it, including the European business being shut down a bit next month—or I guess this month now.

Speaker #2: And then, obviously, the holidays. But I think Craig and Fred probably can speak a bit more in detail on their individual business units.

Speaker #5: Yeah, so for the Off-Highway business, the third quarter is generally our weakest quarter in terms of revenue. As Scott alluded to, the European shutdown—almost half of our business comes out of Europe.

Craig Price: For the Allison Off-Highway business, the Q3 is generally our weakest quarter in terms of revenue. As Scott Mell alluded to, the European shutdown, almost half of our business comes out of Europe. That's impacting the Q3. We step up a little bit in the Q4, again, but still lower than the H1, driven by the end of year holiday period.

Speaker #5: So that's impacting the third quarter, and then we step up a little bit in the fourth quarter again, but still lower than the first half, driven by the end-of-year holiday period.

Speaker #4: Yeah, Tim. And this is Fred. I mean, obviously, strong Q2—total revenue was up 6 percent. Some of your questions were directed at North America On-Highway, where revenue was up 3 percent year-over-year, but probably more importantly, up 15 percent sequentially.

G. Frederick Bohley: Tim, this is G. Frederick Bohley. I mean, obviously, strong Q2. Total revenue up 6%. Some of your questions were directed at North America on-highway, where revenue was up 3% year-over-year, probably more importantly, up 15% sequentially. In fact, all of our end markets in the ATBU were up over 10% sequentially. Certainly nice to see that inflection. Obviously, the H1 of 2026 was always going to have the more difficult comps compared to the H1 of 2025. As we look at North America on-highway specifically, for us, Class 8 straight truck has continued to be steady. In the medium duty, we saw some pickup in the Q2, which was encouraging. That's really the first time we've seen any sort of pickup there. Obviously you have the emission changes going on.

Fred Bohley: Tim, this is G. Frederick Bohley. I mean, obviously, strong Q2. Total revenue up 6%. Some of your questions were directed at North America on-highway, where revenue was up 3% year-over-year, probably more importantly, up 15% sequentially. In fact, all of our end markets in the ATBU were up over 10% sequentially. Certainly nice to see that inflection.

That's really the first time we've seen any sort of pickup there. Obviously you have the emission changes going on.

Speaker #4: In fact, all of our end markets in the ATBU were up over 10 percent sequentially, so certainly nice to see that inflection. Obviously, the first half of 2026 was always going to have the more difficult comps.

Speaker #4: Compared to the first half of 2025. And then, as we look at North America, on Highway specifically, for us, Class 8 straight truck has continued to be steady.

Speaker #4: Medium duty—we saw some pickup in the second quarter, which was encouraging. That's really the first time we've seen any sort of pickup there.

Speaker #4: And obviously, you have the emission changes going on. So we are confident that we'll see sequential improvement in the second half of 2026 for our largest end market, North America on-highway.

G. Frederick Bohley: We are confident that we'll see sequential improvement in the H2 of 2026 for our largest end market, North America on-highway.

Fred Bohley: We are confident that we'll see sequential improvement in the H2 of 2026 for our largest end market, North America on-highway.

Speaker #3: Our next question is from Ian Safino with Oppenheimer & Company. Please proceed.

Operator: Our next question is from Ian Zaffino with Oppenheimer & Co.. Please proceed.

Speaker #6: Hey, good afternoon. This is Isaac Solomon on for Ian. Thanks for taking the question. I just wondered if you could provide some details on the Off-Highway business around price and volume performance in the quarter.

Isaac Solomon: Hey, good afternoon. This is Isaac Solomon on for Ian. Thanks for taking the question. Just wondering if you could provide some details on the off-highway business around price and volume performance in the quarter. Maybe any additional commentary you can provide on the margins in the business, as you capture synergies into 2027 and beyond. Thanks.

Isaac Sellhausen: Hey, good afternoon. This is Isaac Solomon on for Ian. Thanks for taking the question. Just wondering if you could provide some details on the off-highway business around price and volume performance in the quarter. Maybe any additional commentary you can provide on the margins in the business, as you capture synergies into 2027 and beyond. Thanks.

Speaker #6: And then maybe any additional commentary you can provide on the margins in the business as you capture synergies into 2027 and beyond. Thanks.

Speaker #5: So, I would say from the pricing side, obviously we don't have the same luxury or better position as the Transmission side, but, I would say, for us, price is not meaningful up or down.

Craig Price: I would say from the pricing side, obviously, we don't have the same luxury or position as the transmission side. I would say price for us is not meaningful up or down year-over-year for our business. From the margin profile, I think you can align it to the revenue. The H1 being slightly higher than the H2. As we continue to win new business as we go forward, we will expect to increase that area.

Speaker #5: Year over year, from our business, from the margin profile, I think you can align it to the revenue—the first half being slightly higher than the second half.

Speaker #5: But as we continue to win new business, as we go forward, we would expect to increase that area.

Speaker #2: Yeah, and I'll just add, Scott, I think for the Off-Highway business, there's a lot less volatility relative to material costs, just given the nature of that business's ability to pass those on in a more timely basis than what you have seen historically with the Transmission business.

Scott Mell: Yeah. I'll just add, it's Scott. I think for the off-highway business, there's a lot less volatility relative to material costs, just given the nature of that business's ability to pass those on a more timely basis than what you have seen historically with the transmission business. I'll just say, I think we are pleased with the margin performance for the off-highway business now that we've had it for 2 quarters. Obviously as we've talked about, we expect to realize synergies across the entirety of the enterprise. Some of those will impact and benefit the off-highway business, and we'll be talking more about that certainly as we get into next year and talk about expectations for 2027.

Speaker #2: And I'll just say, I think we are pleased with the margin performance for the Off-Highway business now that we've had it for two quarters.

Speaker #2: And obviously, as we've talked about, we expect to realize synergies across the entirety of the enterprise. Some of those will impact and benefit the Off-Highway business, and we'll be talking more about that, certainly, as we get into next year and start talking about expectations for 2027.

Speaker #3: Our next question is from Jerry Revage with Wells Fargo. Please proceed. Jerry, please check and see if your line is muted.

Operator: Our next question is from Jerry Revich with Wells Fargo. Please proceed. Jerry, please check and see if your line is muted.

Speaker #6: There it is. Thank you. Good afternoon, and congratulations on a nice quarter. I wanted to ask about the sources of cost savings, which seem pretty procurement-heavy. I'm wondering, how has the source of opportunity evolved versus maybe a year ago?

Jerry Revich: There it is. Thank you. Good afternoon, and congratulations on that nice quarter. I want to ask the sources of cost savings, pretty procurement heavy. I'm wondering how has the source of the opportunity evolved versus maybe a year ago, can we just talk about just the pieces that you folks have highlighted over the course of the calls, if you think about what 2027 might look like. Fred, you spoke about price costs in the core business, 50 to 75 basis points. We spoke about the synergy benefit about 50 basis points. Anything else that we need to keep in mind, market agnostic as we think about the business 2027 versus 2026? Thanks.

Speaker #6: And then, can we just talk about the pieces that you folks have highlighted over the course of the call as we think about what 2027 might look like?

Speaker #6: So Fred, you spoke about price costs in the core business—50 to 75 basis points. We spoke about the synergy benefit, about 50 basis points.

Speaker #6: Anything else that we need to keep in mind, market-agnostic, as we think about the business in '27 versus '26? Thanks.

Speaker #5: This is Jerry. This is Fred. Let me hit on pricing. Historically, pre-pandemic, the ATBU would get 50 to 75 basis points. We have very, very high-level confidence that we'll secure more than that level in 2027.

G. Frederick Bohley: Jerry, this is Fred. Let me hit on pricing. Historical pre-pandemic, the ATBU would get 50 to 75 basis points. We have very high level confidence that we'll secure more than that level in 2027.

Fred Bohley: Jerry, this is Fred. Let me hit on pricing. Historical pre-pandemic, the ATBU would get 50 to 75 basis points. We have very high level confidence that we'll secure more than that level in 2027.

Speaker #4: On the, Jerry, it's Dave on the value capture questions you have there. So very briefly, in terms of what—the comments I've provided—if you compare that, certainly our expectations going into the acquisition, diligence, or otherwise, I would say overall it's relatively consistent with what we laid out here this afternoon in terms of contributions between the three categories.

David Graziosi: Jerry, it's Dave. On the value capture questions you had there. Very briefly, in terms of the comments I provided. If you compare that to certainly our expectations going into the acquisition diligence or otherwise, I would say overall, it's relatively consistent with what we've laid out here this afternoon in terms of contributions between the three categories. I would also offer, as the teams have been working together across the BUs as well as their group team as well. For us, it's also become clearer in terms of what our initial expectations were and overall capabilities of the organization. I would tell you that our ability to react to issues, whether those are some of the geopolitical events, developments, expectations, uncertainties has really changed for us vis-a-vis the acquisition, and I think our expectations going in were certainly high.

Dave Graziosi: Jerry, it's Dave. On the value capture questions you had there. Very briefly, in terms of the comments I provided. If you compare that to certainly our expectations going into the acquisition diligence or otherwise, I would say overall, it's relatively consistent with what we've laid out here this afternoon in terms of contributions between the three categories.

Speaker #4: I would also offer, as the teams have been working together across the BUs as well as with the group team, for us, it's also become clearer in terms of what our initial expectations were and the overall capabilities of the organization.

Speaker #4: I would tell you that our ability to react to issues, whether those are some of the geopolitical events, developments, expectations, or uncertainties, has really changed for us.

Speaker #4: Vis-à-vis the acquisition—and I think our expectations going in were certainly high—but I would tell you, in terms of the teams working together and being able to react very quickly from a regional perspective with the footprint that we now have, it is frankly beyond what we were expecting.

David Graziosi: I would tell you, in terms of the teams working together, being able to react very quickly from a regional perspective with the footprint that we now have is frankly beyond what we were expecting. Unfortunately, given some developments in the Middle East that everybody is familiar with, I think that's allowed us to have an opportunity to further test those capabilities. I would say the team has done a phenomenal job there. That being said, the $120 million is our annual run rate target, as we've talked about many times. Certainly as we're getting further into this, and it was in the prepared comments at the end, it would not surprise us if there's more opportunity there. It's really a question of getting the teams together to get some things done.

Certainly as we're getting further into this, and it was in the prepared comments at the end, it would not surprise us if there's more opportunity there. It's really a question of getting the teams together to get some things done.

Speaker #4: So unfortunately, given some developments in the Middle East that everybody is familiar with, I think that's allowed us to have an opportunity to further test those capabilities.

Speaker #4: And I would say the team has done a phenomenal job there. That being said, the $120 million is our annual run rate target, as we've talked about many times.

Speaker #4: Certainly, as we're getting further into this—and it was in the prepared comments at the end—but it would not surprise us if there's more opportunity there.

Speaker #4: It's really a question of getting the teams together to get some things done. There are a number of activities that are very time-sensitive, related to transition agreements, etc., and getting all that done.

David Graziosi: There's a number of activities that are very time sensitive related to transition agreements, et cetera, getting all that done. It's a very heavy level of work this year for the team. In other words, I think we would be probably further along in some other areas, trying to get some of this foundational work behind us is taking up a fair bit of time. Thus the timeline that I laid out, the 40/40 balance and then the 20, is really our current view. Again, I think we're certainly very pleased with where we've landed so far and look forward to providing further updates as we get towards the end of the year and certainly with our 2027 guidance at that point.

Dave Graziosi: There's a number of activities that are very time sensitive related to transition agreements, et cetera, getting all that done. It's a very heavy level of work this year for the team.

Speaker #4: It's a very heavy level of work this year for the team. So, in other words, I think we would be probably further along in some other areas, but trying to get some of this foundational work behind us is taking up a fair bit of time.

Speaker #4: So, thus, the timeline that I laid out—the 40/40 balance and then the 20—is really our current view. But, again, I think we're certainly very pleased with where we've landed so far and look forward to providing further updates as we get towards the end of the year, and certainly with our 2027 guidance at that point.

Speaker #3: Our next question is from Tammy Zakaria with J.P. Morgan. Please proceed.

Operator: Our next question is from Tami Zakaria with JPMorgan. Please proceed.

Speaker #7: Hey, good afternoon. Thank you so much. I wanted to get some clarity on two things. One, is the midpoint of your revenue guide, I think, up $150 million?

Tami Zakaria: Hey, good afternoon. Thank you so much. I wanted to get some clarity on two things. One is the midpoint of your revenue guide is I think up $150 million. Could you clarify how much of that is driven by improvement in your outlook for on-highway versus off-highway in the back half of this year? The second point is, do you have any synergies baked into this new EBITDA guidance that you have?

Speaker #7: Could you clarify how much of that is driven by improvement in your outlook for on-highway versus off-highway in the back half of this year?

Speaker #7: And then the second point is: Do you have any synergies baked into this new EBITDA guidance that you have?

Speaker #2: Yeah. Hey Tammy, it's Scott. I would tell you that the preponderance of the increase in the midpoint for the full year is driven by a more optimistic look on the Allison Transmission business unit, just given some of the first half performance we've seen.

Scott Mell: Yeah. Hi, Tami, it's Scott. I would tell you that the preponderance of the increase in the midpoint for the full year is driven by a more optimistic look on the Allison Transmission business unit, just given some of the H1 performance we've seen and what we're seeing and hearing more recently from some of our customers. I would describe the outlook for the Allison Off-Highway business unit to be the same, more or less as what we guided to, the same but maybe slightly up to what we guided to in February. The biggest component of it is coming out of the Allison Transmission business unit. With regards to the synergies for the full year, the short answer, there's no material or meaningful synergies built into the EBITDA guide for the full year. What you're seeing there from the increase is really around incremental volume and

Speaker #2: And what we're seeing and hearing more recently from some of our customers, I would describe the outlook for the Off-Highway business unit to be more or less the same as what we guided to—the same, maybe slightly up, to what we guided to in February. But the biggest component of it is coming out of the Transmission business unit. With regards to the synergies for the full year, the short answer is there's no material or meaningful synergies built into the EBITDA guide for the full year.

Scott Mell: With regards to the synergies for the full year, the short answer, there's no material or meaningful synergies built into the EBITDA guide for the full year. What you're seeing there from the increase is really around incremental volume and management of operating costs is driving that increase.

Speaker #2: What you're seeing there from the increase is really around incremental volume, and then management of operating costs is driving that increase.

David Graziosi: management of operating costs is driving that increase.

Speaker #3: Our next question is from Angel Castillo with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed.

Operator: Our next question is from Angel Castillo with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed.

Speaker #8: Hi. Thanks for taking my question and congrats on the strong quarter here. I just wanted to ask a little bit bigger picture on the EPA '27 proposal—just whether there's any implications, or if you're hearing anything, in terms of underlying demand and how that will unfold in the second half of '26 versus '27.

Angel Castillo: Hi. Thanks for taking my question, and congrats on the strong quarter here. Just wanted to ask a little bit bigger picture on the EPA 2027 proposal, just whether there's any implications, were you hearing anything in terms of underlying demand and how that will unfold kind of H2 2026 versus 2027, just as it pertains to customer demand for potential pre-buy versus just waiting and getting the current engine next year? Just anything that you're hearing from customers there, also would love to hear maybe a little bit more color on what you're seeing in your defense segment, which continues to be pretty strong, and what you expect there.

Speaker #8: Just as it pertains to customer demand, for potential pre-buy versus just waiting and getting the current engine next year, is there anything that you're hearing from customers there? And then also, we'd love to hear maybe a little bit more color on what you're seeing in your defense segment, which continues to be pretty strong, and what you expect there.

Speaker #4: Angel, let's stay—let me tackle your EPA question, and Fred can address your defense question. So, as you referenced, early last month the EPA released their proposal that everybody was waiting for, frankly.

David Graziosi: Angel, it's Dave. Let me tackle your EPA question, and Fred can address your defense question. As you referenced, early last month, the EPA released their proposal that everybody was waiting for, frankly. The outcome of that was largely, I think, as the market had expected. With the, I think, the most relevant change in there really being the emissions warranty periods, that was purported to be a pretty significant cost driver. With that, in terms of your question, frankly, all of the OEMs are still assessing the EPA proposal as well as you can imagine, their supply base, including us, in terms of expected reactions there. The OEMs are speaking with end users and fleets, et cetera, and so forth.

Dave Graziosi: Angel, it's Dave. Let me tackle your EPA question, and Fred can address your defense question. As you referenced, early last month, the EPA released their proposal that everybody was waiting for, frankly. The outcome of that was largely, I think, as the market had expected. With the, I think, the most relevant change in there really being the emissions warranty periods, that was purported to be a pretty significant cost driver.

The OEMs are speaking with end users and fleets, et cetera, and so forth.

Speaker #4: The outcome of that was largely, I think, as the market had expected. So, I think the most relevant change in there really being the emissions warranty periods—that was purported to be a pretty significant cost driver.

Speaker #4: So with that, in terms of your question, frankly, all of the OEMs are still assessing the EPA proposal, as well as, you can imagine, their supply base—including us—in terms of expected reactions there. The OEMs are speaking with end users and fleets, etc., and so forth.

Speaker #4: So, the short answer to all that is there will have to be some trade-offs at the end-user level between the non-compliance penalties, presumably, and what the expected cost is for the 2027 vehicles, if you will.

David Graziosi: The short answer to all that is there'll have to be some trade-offs at the end user level between the non-compliance penalties, presumably, and what the expected cost is for the 2027 vehicles, if you will. That's really yet to be, I would say, fully understood by the OEMs in terms of market pricing for 2027 vehicles, et cetera. Having said all of that, as our team does, we're in constant contact with OEMs and fleets. Certainly look forward to providing an update here with the comment period, as you know, still open for the EPA proposal. A lot of things out there that may impact, ultimately, the balance of 2026 volumes as well as the overall outlook as we get into 2027.

Speaker #4: There are a lot of things out there that may ultimately impact the balance of 2026 volumes, as well as the overall outlook as we get into 2027.

Speaker #4: But to Fred's earlier comments, we continue to see steady—regardless, frankly, of what the EPA has proposed—steady Class 8 vocational market and some improvement in medium-duty. And I think overall, with the continued availability of '26 engines, if you will, that really is, I think, intended to mitigate ultimately the impact.

David Graziosi: To Fred's earlier comments, we continue to see a steady, regardless, frankly, of what the EPA has proposed, steady Class 8 vocational market and some improvement in medium duty. I think overall, with the continued availability of 2026 engines, if you will, that really is, I think, intended to mitigate, ultimately, the impact. Unlike some prior emissions changes that I'm sure you're familiar with, the magnitude of those versus what's being proposed ultimately here are very different.

Dave Graziosi: To Fred's earlier comments, we continue to see a steady, regardless, frankly, of what the EPA has proposed, steady Class 8 vocational market and some improvement in medium duty. I think overall, with the continued availability of 2026 engines, if you will, that really is, I think, intended to mitigate, ultimately, the impact. Unlike some prior emissions changes that I'm sure you're familiar with, the magnitude of those versus what's being proposed ultimately here are very different.

Speaker #4: So, unlike some prior emissions changes that I'm sure you're familiar with, the magnitude of those versus what's being proposed here are ultimately very different.

Speaker #4: The other reality is that, this late into the year in terms of build schedules, it becomes, I think, relatively challenging for the industry players to make significant changes. And I think at least the public OEM comments for this quarter would certainly imply relatively full order books, which then also would tell us there's a limited amount of ability to change or, frankly, add significantly into what their '26 build plans are for the second half.

David Graziosi: The other reality is that this late into a year in terms of build schedules, it becomes, I think, relatively challenging for the industry players to make significant changes. I think at least the public OEM comments for this quarter would certainly imply relatively full order books, which then also would tell us there's a limited amount of ability to change or frankly add significantly into what their 2026 build plans are for the second half.

Speaker #8: Yeah. Angel, and this is Fred. Relative to the defense end market, obviously we've seen very strong performance year to date. On a year-over-year basis, we're up 60% from a revenue standpoint.

G. Frederick Bohley: Yeah, Angel, this is Fred. Relative to the defense end market, obviously very strong performance year to date. On a year-over-year basis, up 60% from a revenue standpoint. We've announced numerous wins, most of those outside North America, including the three that we highlighted in our prepared remarks. Very good visibility for the balance of the year. Expect H2 to look a lot like H1. Really looking out into 2027, pretty much full order board. These are long lead products. We're launching new products into the space, our 3040 MX, our 4040 MX. Very excited about those. We've announced opportunities in Poland with the Borsuk, Turkey with the Korkut, within India. Again, very good outlook. The investments that we've made are coming to fruition. We're very bullish on the end market.

Fred Bohley: Yeah, Angel, this is Fred. Relative to the defense end market, obviously very strong performance year to date. On a year-over-year basis, up 60% from a revenue standpoint.

Speaker #8: And we've announced numerous wins, most of those outside North America, including the three that we highlighted in our prepared remarks. Very good visibility for the balance of the year.

Speaker #8: Expect H2 to look a lot like H1. And really, looking out into 2027, pretty much a full order board—these are long lead products. We're launching new products into the space.

Speaker #8: Our 30-40 MX or 40-40 MX—we're very excited about those. And we've announced opportunities in Poland, with the Brazil, Turkey with the Korkut, within India.

Speaker #8: So again, very good outlook. The investments that we've made are coming to fruition, and we're very, very bullish on the end market.

Speaker #3: Our final question is from Kyle Mendes with Citigroup. Please proceed.

Operator: Our final question is from Kyle Menges with Citigroup. Please proceed.

Speaker #5: Thank you. I just wanted to follow up on the pricing discussion a little bit. I understand the confidence in getting some price next year above the pre-pandemic level, and I'm just trying to understand how much of that is just pricing from pass-through mechanisms to offset quite elevated material costs versus, I guess, more real price increases. I understand you usually pass on about 75% of raw material costs, so are you also confident you can get enough price to be price-cost positive and offset the other 25% of raw materials that's not automatically passed through?

Kyle Menges: Thank you. I just wanted to follow up on the pricing discussion a little bit. I understand the confidence in getting some price next year above the pre-pandemic level, just trying to understand how much of that is just pricing from pass-through mechanisms to offset quite elevated material costs versus, I guess, more real price increases. I understand you usually pass on about 75% of raw material costs. Are you also confident you can get enough price to be price cost positive and offset the other 25% of raw materials that's not automatically passed through?

Speaker #8: Hi, Kyle. This is Fred. I would say that the comments relative to pricing were really focused on true commercial pricing relative to the long-term agreements that we have in place.

G. Frederick Bohley: Fred. I would say the comments relative to pricing were really focused on true commercial pricing relative to the long-term agreements that we have in place. Definitely, there will be the benefit of the commodity passthroughs. Obviously, we're still looking to see how the full year shakes out from a raw material pricing standpoint and what the assumptions look like out into 2027. Scott mentioned it, the bulk of this is on somewhere from a six-month to a 12-month lag. Back to the basis of your question, from a price cost standpoint, it's something we're very focused on and are really looking to continue to drive margins and think about the guide. We came out at the midpoint, I think of 25% margins. We're up to 25.8. We've got $120 million of synergies identified. That's another 200 basis points across the combined company.

Fred Bohley: Fred. I would say the comments relative to pricing were really focused on true commercial pricing relative to the long-term agreements that we have in place. Definitely, there will be the benefit of the commodity passthroughs. Obviously, we're still looking to see how the full year shakes out from a raw material pricing standpoint and what the assumptions look like out into 2027.

Speaker #8: Definitely, there will be the benefit of the commodity pass-throughs. Obviously, we're still looking to see how the full year shakes out from a raw material pricing standpoint and what the assumptions look like out into 2027.

Speaker #8: Scott mentioned it. The bulk of this is on somewhere from a six-month to a 12-month lag. So, back to your—the basis of your question—from a price/cost standpoint, I mean, it's something we're very focused on and are really looking to continue to drive margins. And think about the guide—we came out at the midpoint, I think, of 25% margins.

Speaker #8: We're up to 25.8. We've got $120 million of synergies identified. That's another 200 basis points across the combined company. So, there are numerous activities we're working on from a cost standpoint to offset what are some pretty meaningful inflation pressures that we've seen.

G. Frederick Bohley: There's numerous activities we're working on from a cost standpoint to offset what are some pretty meaningful inflation pressures that we've seen.

Fred Bohley: There's numerous activities we're working on from a cost standpoint to offset what are some pretty meaningful inflation pressures that we've seen.

Speaker #3: We have reached the end of our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the floor back over to Dave for closing remarks.
