Cummins Inc. (CMI - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2025 earnings of $6.43 per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.99 and increased from $5.26 recorded in the corresponding quarter of 2024. Higher-than-expected sales in the Distribution and Power Systems segments resulted in the outperformance. Cummins’ revenues totaled $8.64 billion, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8.47 billion but declined from $8.8 billion recorded in the year-ago quarter.
In the reported quarter, sales in the Engine segment were down 8% year over year to $2.90 billion. The metric also missed our estimate of $2.91 billion. Sales in North America and International markets decreased 8% and 7% year over year, respectively, due to weaker on-highway demand in the United States and Mexico. The segment’s EBITDA fell to $400 million (accounting for 13.8% of sales) from $445 million (14.1% of sales) in the year-ago period and missed our estimate of $428.4 million.
Sales in the Distribution segment totaled $3 billion, which rose 7% year over year and topped our projection of $2.83 billion. Sales in North America rose 9% due to increased demand for power generation products, while international sales rose by 4%. The segment’s EBITDA came in at $445 million (14.6% of sales), which increased from the year-ago quarter’s $314 million (11.1% of sales) and surpassed our estimate of $366 million.
Sales in the Components segment totaled $2.7 billion, down 9% from the prior-year quarter. Sales also missed our estimate of $2.74 billion. Revenues in North America decreased 15% and international sales were flat due to weaker on-highway demand in the United States. The segment’s EBITDA was $397 million (14.7% of sales), lower than the year-ago figure of $406 million (13.6% of sales). The metric, however, topped our estimate of $373.6 million.
Sales in the Power Systems segment rose 19% from the year-ago quarter to $1.9 billion and beat our estimate of $1.64 billion. While North America sales grew 23%, international sales rose 16% due to increased demand for power generation. The segment’s EBITDA rose to $430 million (22.8% of sales) from $301 million (18.9% of sales) and beat our estimate of $327.6 million.
Sales in the Accelera segment came in at $105 million, which fell 5% from the year-ago level and lagged our estimate of $112.5 million. The segment incurred a pretax loss of $100 million, narrower than our estimate of a loss of $102.5 million. Investment in zero-emission contributed to the EBITDA losses.
