PACCAR INC Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2016

Filed May 4, 2016For Securities:PCAR

Summary

PACCAR Inc reported a net loss of $594.6 million ($1.69 per diluted share) for the first quarter of 2016, a significant decline compared to a net income of $378.4 million ($1.06 per diluted share) in the same period of 2015. This loss was primarily driven by a non-recurring charge of $942.6 million related to a European Commission investigation into anti-competitive practices in the truck manufacturing industry. Excluding this charge, adjusted net income was $348.0 million ($.99 per diluted share). Consolidated net sales and revenues decreased to $4.30 billion from $4.83 billion year-over-year. The Truck segment experienced a revenue decrease of 13%, largely due to lower truck deliveries in North America, although this was partially offset by higher sales in Europe. The Parts segment saw a 4% revenue decline, primarily in North America, while the Financial Services segment reported a 2% revenue increase due to higher average earning assets, despite lower yields. The company's outlook anticipates lower truck industry sales in the U.S. and Canada for 2016, but projects an increase in European truck registrations.
