Filed November 1, 2021For Securities:PCAR

Summary

PACCAR Inc's (PCAR) Q3 2021 filing shows a notable increase in net sales and revenues for the first nine months, driven by strong performance in both the Truck and Parts segments. While the third quarter saw a slight decrease in truck revenues year-over-year, this was primarily attributed to industry-wide semiconductor chip shortages impacting deliveries. However, the Parts segment achieved record sales, demonstrating robust demand across all markets. The Financial Services segment also reported record revenues and a significant increase in income before taxes, benefiting from improved used truck results and higher finance and lease margins. Despite the headwinds in truck deliveries due to supply chain issues, PACCAR demonstrated resilience with overall revenue growth for the nine-month period. The company is actively investing in new truck models, including zero-emission powertrains and advanced technologies, indicating a strategic focus on future growth and innovation. The financial position remains solid, with ample liquidity to support ongoing operations and capital allocation strategies.
