Acquisition

NOTE B. ACQUISITION

On January 1, 2026, the Company completed the Acquisition for a purchase price of $2,628 million, subject to certain adjustments, using a combination of cash on hand, $500 million of proceeds from the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes due December 2033 ("5.875% Senior Notes 2033") by Allison Transmission, Inc. ("ATI"), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, proceeds from borrowings under an incremental term loan facility under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 29, 2019, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”), in an aggregate principal amount equal to $1,200 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) and $300 million of borrowings under ATI's revolving credit facility with commitments in the amount of $1,000 million due January 2031 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In connection with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a commitment letter with a group of lenders (the "Lenders"), pursuant to which the Lenders committed to provide a 364-day senior unsecured bridge term loan facility (the “Bridge Facility”), in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000 million. As of December 31, 2025, the Bridge Facility aggregate commitment principal amount had been reduced to $500 million as a result of the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes 2033 and the Company's election to voluntarily reduce the aggregate commitments under the Bridge Facility. No amount was drawn from the Bridge Facility and it was terminated upon the completion of the Acquisition on the Closing Date.

The Allison Off-Highway business is a leading provider of drivetrain and propulsion solutions. For segment reporting purposes, the Acquired Off-Highway Business comprises the entire Allison Off-Highway segment. The Company accounted for the Acquisition in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance on business combinations. The results of Allison Off-Highway have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the Closing Date. See "Note T. Segment Information” for more details regarding Allison Off-Highway's results.

On January 1, 2026, the Company transferred $2,664 million of cash consideration to Dana based on the preliminary closing statement, of which $2 million was attributed to the effective settlement of the pre-existing accounts payable balance. The cash portion of the purchase price was subject to adjustment based upon the final calculation of the acquired cash, indebtedness and working capital, as defined by the Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended, with Dana, as of the Closing Date. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a subsequent $34 million decrease to the purchase price and received a cash payment from Dana of $34 million to reflect the net deficiency in cash, indebtedness and working capital, resulting in a final purchase price of $2,628 million.

Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their respective fair values as of the Closing Date. The process of estimating the fair values of certain tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation, including adjustments made during the quarter (measurement period adjustments) with corresponding changes to goodwill (dollars in millions):

(a)
The changes in the estimated fair values are primarily to better reflect market participant assumptions about facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date. The measurement period adjustments resulted in an $8 million net decrease to goodwill and did not have a material impact on the Company's earnings. The measurement period adjustments did not result from intervening events subsequent to the acquisition date.

 

The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition are subject to further change as the Company performs additional reviews of the assumptions utilized and as additional information related to the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and tax implications thereon is assessed during the measurement period (up to one year from the Closing Date). Any such further adjustments will be accounted for prospectively. The final purchase accounting will be completed within the one-year measurement period following the Closing Date of the Acquisition.

The Company measured contract assets and contract liabilities acquired by applying the revenue recognition principles in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") authoritative guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. Consequently, contract liabilities recorded as of the Closing Date represent the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations.

As of the Closing Date, contract liabilities totaling $31 million and no material contract assets were recognized as part of the Acquisition purchase price allocation. These amounts approximate those recognized by Dana prior to the Acquisition, reflecting the Company’s application of the related FASB authoritative guidance.

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. An estimated $81 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The allocation of goodwill to reporting units has not been completed as of June 30, 2026. The goodwill

recognized is primarily attributable to expected future economic benefits, including the value of the assembled workforce, anticipated customer demand, continued development of acquired technologies, and operational synergies from the integration with Allison Transmission.

The estimated fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired (all considered Level 3 measurements), their weighted-average useful lives, the related valuation methodology and key assumptions are as follows (dollars in millions):

Included in the Company's results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were net sales of $706 million and $1,379 million, respectively, and $47 million and $26 million, respectively, of operating profit related to Allison Off-Highway. The Company recognized $9 million and $26 million of Acquisition-related expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and $15 million and $24 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, which were recorded in Selling, general and administrative in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and primarily consisted of consulting and legal fees.

Supplemental Pro-Forma Information (unaudited)

The following table presents supplemental pro-forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2025. These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and are based upon currently available information. The primary adjustments reflected in the pro-forma results relate to increased interest expense for debt used to fund the Acquisition, inclusion of Acquisition-related costs and the impact of purchase accounting adjustments primarily related to amortization of intangibles, depreciation of fixed assets and inventory step-up. Pre-Acquisition net sales and net income amounts for the Acquisition were derived from the books and records of the Acquired Off-Highway Business prepared prior to the Acquisition, are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of future operations or of the results that would have been achieved had the Acquired Off-Highway Business been combined with the Company during the pre-Acquisition period presented.
