Summary
PACCAR Inc's (PCAR) Q2 2014 report shows a solid increase in net income and revenues year-over-year, driven by improved truck sales in the U.S. and Canada, and strong performance in the Parts and Financial Services segments. Net sales rose to $4.57 billion, and net income climbed to $319.2 million ($0.90 per diluted share) from $291.6 million ($0.82 per diluted share) in the prior year's second quarter. The company saw growth in its Truck segment due to higher delivery volumes in North America and increased price realization for higher-content Euro 6 vehicles in Europe. The Parts segment benefited from robust aftermarket demand, while the Financial Services segment experienced growth in average earning assets, leading to higher revenues and income. Management highlights positive industry outlooks for truck sales in the U.S. and Canada for the remainder of 2014, although European registrations are expected to be slightly lower.
