Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed July 31, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
PACCAR's second quarter 2025 10-Q shows a sharp earnings decline driven by weaker truck demand and margin pressure.
Q2 2025 net income was $723.8 milliona ($1.37 diluted EPS), down about 36% from $1.12 billion ($2.13) a year earlier. Net sales and revenues fell 14% to $7.51 billion, with Truck revenue down 20% to $5.24 billion on 19% fewer unit deliveries (39,300 vs. 48,400). Truck gross margin compressed to 8.7% from 15.0%, citing lower volume and price realization, higher material and content costs, and U.S. tariff costs.
Parts was the bright spot, with revenue up 3% to $1.72 billionb and a stable pre-tax return of about 24%. Financial Services continued to grow, with Q2 income before taxes up 11% to $123.2 million on a 9% rise in average earning assets. For the first six months, net income was $1.23 billion ($2.33 diluted EPS), versus $2.32 billion ($4.40) in 2024.
That result includes a $350.0 millionc pre-tax ($264.5 million after-tax) first-quarter charge for European Commission-related civil claims. Excluding the charge, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $1.49 billion ($2.83 per diluted share). Balance-sheet liquidity remains strong, with $8.46 billion in cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2025, though this is down about $1.38 billion from year-end 2024 after $1.92 billion in dividends.
Shareholders' equity rose to $18.94 billiond, and management kept its A+/A1 credit ratings. Looking ahead, management flagged tariff-driven uncertainty. It expects 2025 U.S./Canada heavy-duty retail sales of 230,000 to 260,000 units (vs. 268,100 in 2024) and Parts sales growth of 2% to 4%.
It also expects average Financial Services earning assets to grow 4% to 6%, and it guided capital investments of $750 to $800 million and R&D of $450 to $480 million. Credit quality is manageable: 30+ day delinquencies were 1.2% worldwide, though provisions for losses rose to $47.5 million for the first half from $27.8 million.

05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did PACCAR's earnings decline so much in Q2 2025?
Lower truck unit deliveries across all major markets, reflecting weaker retail demand and tariff-related uncertainty, drove the decline. Average truck prices were also lower due to a more competitive environment, while average truck costs rose from higher-content mix, product support accruals, and U.S. tariff costs. Truck gross margin fell to 8.7% from 15.0%, and Truck pre-tax income dropped 63% to $308.8 million.
Was the first-half 2025 net income affected by a one-time charge?
Yes. First-quarter 2025 included a $350.0 million pre-tax ($264.5 million after-tax) charge for civil litigation claims in Europe linked to the 2016 European Commission truck cartel settlement. Excluding this charge, adjusted first-half net income was $1.49 billion, or $2.83 per diluted share, compared with reported net income of $1.23 billion, or $2.33 per diluted share.
How is PACCAR's Financial Services segment performing?
Financial Services is growing steadily. Q2 2025 revenues rose 7% to $547.7 million and pre-tax income rose 11% to $123.2 million, driven by a larger loan and lease portfolio and higher yields. Average earning assets grew 9%, and PACCAR Financial Services' share of new PACCAR truck financing increased to 26.2%. Credit metrics held steady, with 30+ day delinquencies at 1.2%, although provisions for credit losses rose to $47.5 million for the first half.
What is management's outlook for the rest of 2025?
Management expects U.S. and Canada heavy-duty retail sales of 230,000 to 260,000 units in 2025, down from 268,100 in 2024. European over-16-tonne registrations are projected at 270,000 to 300,000 units. Parts sales are expected to grow 2% to 4%. Capital investments are guided to $750–800 million and R&D to $450–480 million. Management cautioned that tariff policy uncertainty could weaken economic conditions and reduce truck industry retail sales.
Is PACCAR's balance sheet and dividend still well supported?
Yes. Shareholders' equity increased to $18.94 billion at June 30, 2025, from $17.51 billion at year-end 2024. Cash and marketable securities totaled $8.46 billion, and the company has $5.10 billion of unused credit lines, including $4.00 billion of committed bank facilities. Dividends declared were $0.33 per share in Q2 (versus $0.30 a year earlier), and the company maintained A+/A1 investment-grade credit ratings. Cash and securities did decline about $1.38 billion in the first half, reflecting dividends and higher net debt repayment.
