Net sales remained relatively flat at $8.456B compared to $8.431B in the prior year, with organic growth offset by the divestiture of Atmus. The divestiture of Atmus had a negative impact on revenue growth for the quarter.
Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. increased to $809M from $656M YoY, primarily driven by a $1.3B gain from the Atmus divestiture. Excluding this gain, underlying profitability was more moderate.
Gross margin increased to $2.171B from $2.071B YoY, representing a 1.1 percentage point increase as a percentage of sales. This improvement was driven by favorable pricing and higher volumes, partially offset by the Atmus divestiture and increased compensation expenses.
