Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ALSN), a leader in the design and manufacture of conventional and electrified vehicle propulsion solutions, has experienced significant financial success and growth, as evidenced by recent earnings reports and strategic initiatives. Alongside these achievements, a pertinent aspect of their corporate structure is the compensation packages awarded to their senior executives, which reflect the company's performance and strategic emphasis.
The compensation of key figures at Allison has varied over the past few years, mirroring both personal performance and broader company success. In the 2024 fiscal year, John M. Coll, the Senior Vice President of Global Marketing, Sales, and Service, received total compensation of approximately $2.78 million. This package comprised a base salary of $520,839, stock awards totaling $713,504, and incentive plan compensation of $1.17 million, among other benefits.[^1]
In contrast, the compensation awarded to David S. Graziosi, the Chair, President, and CEO in 2021 was significantly higher. Graziosi's total compensation reached $8.53 million, including a hefty $3.77 million in stock awards and $2.56 million from the company's incentive plan, complemented by a base salary of $970,000.[^2]
Similarly, G. Frederick Bohley, another pivotal figure serving as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Treasurer, saw his compensation grow from $2.2 million in 2019 to more than $3.15 million in 2022, driven by increased stock and incentive awards.[^3][^4]
These executive packages are reflective not only of the individuals' impacts on Allison’s strategic goals but also of the company’s robust financial performance. For example, Allison recently disclosed record net sales for 2024, totaling $3.2 billion—a 6% increase from the previous year—and a record diluted EPS of $8.31, a 12% improvement year-over-year.[^5] Furthermore, the company’s share price has seen volatile movement, recently trading at $85.94 while still presenting an appealing PE ratio of 10.34, which suggests potential undervaluation considering its earnings.[^6]
Special shareholders' initiatives accompany these record results. Allison announced an 8% increase in its quarterly dividend and a $1 billion increase to its stock repurchase authorization, indicating confidence in sustained financial strength and shareholder value—a critical factor of influence on executive compensation structures.[^7]
In sum, Allison Transmission's executive compensations are intricately tied to both individual performance and the company's flourishing financial metrics. By aligning executive incentives with organizational success, Allison not only motivates its leaders but also reinforces a culture of performance-driven growth that underpins its market trajectory.
