Filed November 4, 2016For Securities:PCAR

Summary

PACCAR Inc (PCAR) reported a decrease in net sales and revenues for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. This decline was primarily attributed to lower truck volumes in North America, although this was partially offset by increased truck sales in Europe. The company also faced a significant non-recurring charge of $833.0 million related to a European Commission settlement, which substantially impacted net income for the nine-month period. Despite the revenue decline, PACCAR demonstrated strong operational performance in its Parts and Financial Services segments. The Parts segment saw a slight decrease in sales but maintained healthy margins, while the Financial Services segment reported stable revenues and managed its portfolio effectively. The company continues to invest in R&D and capital expenditures, focusing on new product development and manufacturing enhancements to drive future growth and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary driver for the decrease in net sales and revenues was lower truck volumes, particularly in North America. This was partially offset by increased truck sales in Europe.

The European Commission charge of $833.0 million, recorded in the first nine months of 2016, significantly reduced the reported net income for that period. This charge is non-recurring and non-tax-deductible. Excluding this charge, the adjusted net income for the nine-month period shows a more representative view of the underlying operational performance.

The Financial Services segment showed a decrease in income before taxes, influenced by factors such as lower results on returned lease assets, higher borrowing rates, and an increased provision for losses on receivables. However, revenues remained relatively stable, with higher average earning assets partially offsetting currency translation effects and lower yields.

For 2017, PACCAR estimates U.S. and Canada Class 8 truck industry retail sales to be in the range of 200,000 to 230,000 units. In Europe, for the over 16-tonne truck market, sales are projected to be in the range of 260,000 to 290,000 units.
