Allison Transmission Announces Third Quarter 2014 Results
The increase in net sales was principally driven by the continued recoveries in the North America On-Highway and Off-Highway end markets, and higher demand in the Service Parts, Support Equipment & Other end market partially offset by previously contemplated reductions in U.S. defense spending.

Third Quarter Highlights
North America On-Highway end market net sales were up 21 percent from the same period in 2013 and up 5 percent on a sequential basis principally driven by higher demand for Rugged Duty Series models.
North America Hybrid-Propulsion Systems for Transit Bus end market net sales were up 53 percent from the same period in 2013 principally driven by intra-year movement in the timing of orders, and down 18 percent sequentially.
North America Off-Highway end market net sales were up 233 percent from the same period in 2013 and up 30 percent on a sequential basis principally driven by higher demand from hydraulic fracturing applications.
Defense end market net sales were down 33 percent from the same period in 2013 principally driven by previously considered reductions in U.S. defense spending to longer term averages experienced during periods without active conflicts, and down 29 percent sequentially principally driven by the recognition of previously deferred revenue commensurate with the shipment of certain tracked transmissions at the request of the U.S. government in the second quarter of 2014.
Outside North America On-Highway end market net sales were up 4 percent from the same period in 2013 reflecting improved demand in all regions other than

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Allison expects net sales to be higher than the same period in 2013. The anticipated year-over-year increase in fourth quarter net sales is expected to be principally driven by higher demand in the North America On-Highway and Off-Highway end markets partially offset by lower demand in the Outside North America On-Highway and North America Hybrid-Propulsion Systems for Transit Bus end markets.
