Cummins Inc., headquartered in Columbus, United States, recently released its financial results for the first quarter of 2025. Despite a challenging economic environment, the company reported a strong performance, driven by record results in its Power Systems Segment. Cummins reported revenues of $8.2 billion for Q1 2025, a 3% decrease from the previous year. The company's net income was $824 million, with a significant decrease in EBITDA primarily due to restructuring expenses and the absence of certain gains from the previous year.
During the quarter, Cummins introduced the X10 engine and the B7.2 diesel engine, both set to be manufactured in North Carolina and expected to go into production in North America in 2027. The company also acquired assets from First Mode, expanding its offerings in hybrid solutions, including hydrogen powertrains. Additionally, Accelera™ by Cummins will supply a 100-megawatt electrolyzer system for a green hydrogen project in Germany, aiming to produce up to 11,000 tons of green hydrogen annually by 2027.
Cummins' strategic initiatives include its Destination Zero strategy, navigating economic uncertainties, and expressing confidence in its long-term direction. Although the full-year forecast for 2025 has been withdrawn, Cummins remains focused on its goals. Chair and CEO Jennifer Rumsey emphasized the company's global employee commitment and performance in the Power Systems Segment.
Looking ahead, Cummins is not providing specific guidance for the remainder of 2025 but remains dedicated to its long-term strategy and preparedness for economic challenges.
