Filed May 7, 2014For Securities:PCAR

Summary

PACCAR Inc (PCAR) reported strong financial results for the first quarter of 2014, driven by increased net sales and revenues, particularly in the Truck and Parts segments. Net income rose to $273.9 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, a significant increase from $236.1 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, in the same period of 2013. This growth was fueled by higher truck deliveries in the U.S. and improved aftermarket parts demand. The company also demonstrated robust financial services performance, with revenues remaining stable and income before taxes showing a healthy increase, supported by improved finance and lease margins and a lower provision for losses. PACCAR's outlook for the full year 2014 remains positive, with expectations for increased truck industry retail sales in the U.S. and Canada and modest growth in parts aftermarket sales, although European truck registrations are projected to be lower than in 2013.

Frequently Asked Questions

Revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in truck deliveries, especially in the U.S., and higher aftermarket parts demand across North America and Europe. Improved price realization for trucks in Europe, particularly with higher-content Euro 6 emission vehicles, also contributed significantly.

The Financial Services segment showed stable revenues of $293.7 million but experienced a 7% increase in income before taxes to $85.5 million. This improvement was mainly due to higher finance and lease margins and a lower provision for losses on receivables, despite slightly lower yields.

PACCAR anticipates U.S. and Canada heavy-duty truck industry retail sales to be between 220,000 and 240,000 units in 2014, an increase from 2013, driven by fleet replacement and improving economic sectors. However, European truck registrations for vehicles over 16 tonnes are expected to be lower, between 200,000 and 230,000 units, compared to 240,800 in 2013.
