Cummins delivered strong operating results and returned $519 million to shareholders in the first quarter of 2026; raises full-year outlook
•First-quarter revenues of $8.4 billion; GAAP1 Net Income of $654 million, or 7.8% of sales
•EBITDA2 in the first quarter was 15.4% of sales; Diluted EPS of $4.71
•First-quarter results include $199 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, of charges related to completing the sale of our low-pressure fuel cell business and related customer obligations for this business
•Full-year revenues are expected to range from up 8% to up 11%, an improvement from prior guidance of up 3% to 8%
•EBITDA is now expected to be in the range of 17.75% to 18.50%, an increase from previous guidance of 17.0% to 18.0%
COLUMBUS, IND. – Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) today reported results for the first quarter of 2026.
“Cummins delivered strong results in the first quarter, led by record performance in our Power Systems segment. Our teams executed with discipline to meet continued strong demand for data center backup power and North America truck markets began to improve from a cyclical low,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Chair and CEO of Cummins. “We also recorded charges related to the sale of our low-pressure fuel cell business, reflecting lower hydrogen adoption expectations and our continued commitment to focusing investments and reducing losses within the Accelera segment.”
First-quarter 2026 revenues of $8.4 billion increased 3% from the same quarter in 2025. Sales in North America decreased 6% while international revenues increased 16%, primarily due to stronger demand in China.
Net income attributable to Cummins in the first quarter was $654 million, or $4.71 per diluted share, compared to $824 million, or $5.96 per diluted share, in 2025. The current quarter results include charges related to the sale of our low-pressure fuel cell business of $199 million, or $1.44 per diluted share.
EBITDA in the first quarter was $1.3 billion, or 15.4% of sales, compared to $1.5 billion, or 17.9% of sales, a year ago. EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 included the charges noted above.
2026 Outlook:
Based on its current forecast, Cummins is raising its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to be up 8% to 11%, due to stronger demand across several markets, particularly North America on-highway and power generation. EBITDA is expected to be in the range of 17.75% to 18.50%, up from our prior guidance of 17.0% to 18.0%, excluding the charges related to the sale of the fuel cell business in the first quarter.
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.
“We raised our 2026 outlook for revenue and profitability as demand strengthens across several key markets. We see North America on-highway markets improving, while demand for data center power generation across a range of our products continues to outpace expectations. Through the remainder of 2026, we are well-positioned to deliver strong financial performance, invest in future growth and return cash to shareholders,” said Rumsey.
First Quarter 2026 Highlights:
•Mack Trucks announced the integration of the Cummins X10 engine into the Mack Granite Chassis. This milestone reflects the strong collaboration between the Mack and Cummins teams and a shared commitment to delivering reliable, high-performing solutions for vocational customers. The X10 is well-suited for demanding work applications, and its integration into the Granite platform will provide customers with a compelling option in the vocational truck segment.
•In February, Cummins announced the deployment of the world’s first commercial hybrid-electric ultra-class mining truck in production at Caserones, an open pit copper-molybdenum mine in Tierra Amarilla, Chile, owned by Lundin Mining. The pilot marks Cummins’ first deployment of a retrofitted 300-ton Komatsu mining haul truck into daily operation using a retrofit hybrid solution powered by its First Mode technology. The project aligns with Cummins’ Destination Zero strategy to support customers through the energy transition by delivering solutions that improve efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions today.
•Cummins received several prestigious honors recognizing the company’s commitment to its people, culture and innovation. Of note, Cummins was named to Ethisphere’s 2026 World’s Most Ethical Companies® list and recognized as a platinum employer on the Where you Work Matters list. Heavy Duty Trucking also recognized several Cummins technologies, including its versatile medium-duty engine portfolio and Acumen advanced computing module, in their 2026 Top 20 Products awards, which highlight innovation and real-world business value for fleets.

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
Cummins management will host a teleconference to discuss these results today at 10 a.m. EDT. This teleconference will be webcast and available on the Investor Relations section of the Cummins website at www.cummins.com. Participants wishing to view the visuals available with the audio are encouraged to sign-in a few minutes prior to the start of the teleconference.

INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for 2026, excluding discrete items, is expected to approximate 23.0 percent.
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were 27.2 percent and 23.9 percent, respectively.
The three months ended March 31, 2026, had an unfavorable discrete tax impact due to the $199 million loss on sale of business and settlement of current and future customer obligations for which no tax benefit was recognized. Other discrete items were net favorable by $7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
The three months ended March 31, 2025, contained net favorable discrete tax items of $7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, primarily due to $8 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefits, partially offset by $1 million of other unfavorable adjustments.

Reconciliation of Non GAAP measures - Earnings or losses before interest expense, 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, as noted in the table below, is a useful measure of our operating performance. 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 our 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:
