Summary

PACCAR Inc (PCAR) reported its second-quarter and first-half results for 2017, showing increased revenues driven by higher truck and parts sales. Net income for the second quarter was $373.0 million ($1.06 per diluted share), compared to $481.3 million ($1.37 per diluted share) in the prior year, which included a favorable adjustment for a European Commission charge. For the first six months, net income was $683.3 million ($1.94 per diluted share), a significant improvement from a net loss of $113.3 million in the same period of 2016, which was heavily impacted by the aforementioned European Commission charge. The Truck segment saw increased deliveries, particularly in the U.S. and Canada, and the Parts segment achieved record sales. However, the Financial Services segment experienced a decline in income before taxes due to lower results on returned lease assets and higher borrowing rates, alongside a decrease in new loan and lease volume. The company also highlighted ongoing investments in R&D and capital expenditures for future growth and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

The primary driver for the year-over-year decrease in net income for the second quarter of 2017 was the favorable $109.6 million adjustment to the European Commission (EC) charge that was recorded in the second quarter of 2016. Excluding this one-time item, the underlying operational performance showed strength with record parts sales and higher truck deliveries.

The Truck segment revenue increased due to higher deliveries, especially in North America. The Parts segment achieved record sales, showing strong aftermarket demand. However, the Financial Services segment saw a decrease in income before taxes, primarily due to lower returns on leased assets and higher borrowing costs. The 'Other' segment, which includes the winch business and corporate expenses, also reported a loss, impacted by the absence of the prior year's favorable EC adjustment.

PACCAR anticipates that U.S. and Canada heavy-duty truck retail sales in 2017 will be in the range of 200,000 to 220,000 units, compared to 215,700 units in 2016. In Europe, registrations for vehicles over 16 tonnes are expected to be between 290,000 and 310,000 units, compared to 302,500 in 2016. South American heavy-duty truck sales are estimated between 55,000 and 60,000 units, versus 56,500 in 2016.
