January 29, 2019, Bellevue, Washington – “PACCAR reported record annual revenues and profitability in 2018 and has achieved an impressive 80 consecutive years of net income,” said Ron Armstrong, chief executive officer. “PACCAR’s financial results reflect the company’s premium-quality products and services, record heavy-duty truck market share in Europe, strong global truck markets, and record aftermarket parts results. I am very proud of our 28,000 employees who have delivered outstanding products and services to our customers.”

“The North American and European economies are projected to continue growing in 2019. Our customers are very profitable and benefiting from strong freight demand. Freight activity grew 6.6% percent in the U.S. in 2018, the highest growth in 20 years. Kenworth and Peterbilt’s 2019 build schedules are substantially full due to the robust orders. We expect 2019 to be another excellent year for PACCAR,” added Armstrong.

PACCAR achieved record quarterly revenues of $6.28 billion in the fourth quarter 2018, a 15% increase compared to the $5.45 billion reported in the same period in 2017. The company earned $578.1 million ($1.65 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2018. PACCAR earned $589.2 million ($1.67 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2017, including $173.4 million of net tax benefits resulting from changes to U.S. tax law. Excluding the one-time tax benefits, PACCAR reported adjusted net income (non-GAAP)¹ of $415.8 million ($1.18 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2017.

PACCAR achieved record revenues of $23.50 billion in 2018, a 21% increase compared to revenues of $19.46 billion in 2017.

PACCAR’s 2018 net income of $2.20 billion increased 47% compared to 2017 adjusted net income (non-GAAP)¹ of $1.50 billion ($4.26 per diluted share).

PACCAR declared cash dividends of $3.09 per share during 2018, a 41% increase compared to the $2.19 per share declared in 2017.

Highlights of PACCAR’s financial results during the fourth quarter of 2018 include:

“Strong GDP, industrial production and consumer spending growth in 2018 resulted in record freight tonnage, high fleet capacity utilization and record Kenworth and Peterbilt truck orders, deliveries and backlog,” said Preston Feight, PACCAR executive vice president. Class 8 truck industry retail sales in the U.S. and Canada were 285,000 units in 2018, 30% higher than the 218,000 vehicles sold in 2017. U.S. and Canada Class 8 truck industry retail sales are expected to increase to a range of 285,000-315,000 trucks in 2019.

European truck industry registrations above 16-tonnes were a robust 319,000 trucks in 2018. It is estimated that European truck industry registrations in the above 16-tonne market in 2019 will be another excellent year in the range of 290,000-320,000 trucks. “European transport activity and truck demand have been strong due to five consecutive years of steady European economic growth,” said Harry Wolters, DAF president. “DAF produced a record number of trucks and achieved record above 16-tonne market share of 16.6% in 2018. DAF trucks, including the DAF XF and CF ‘International Truck of the Year 2018,’ deliver premium quality, exceptional fuel efficiency and superior driver comfort for our customers.”

“PACCAR achieved excellent 2018 truck production and market share in Australia, Mexico, Taiwan and Brasil, delivering 17,300 trucks in these markets and surrounding regions,” said Gary Moore, PACCAR executive vice president. DAF Brasil was honored in 2018 by Fenabrave, Brasil’s industry dealer association, as Truck Brand of the Year for the third consecutive year.

PACCAR participated in the CES 2019 show in Las Vegas, Nevada this month. CES is one of the world’s largest showcases for technological innovation. PACCAR exhibited three zero emission vehicles: a battery electric Peterbilt Model 579EV; a battery electric Peterbilt Model 220EV; and a hydrogen fuel cell electric Kenworth T680 developed in collaboration with Toyota. These trucks are designed for a range of customer applications, including over-the-road transportation, port operations and urban distribution. PACCAR was the only commercial vehicle manufacturer displaying trucks at CES.

Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF are leaders in the development of alternative powertrain commercial vehicles. Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF are field-testing battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell and hybrid powertrain vehicles with customers in North America and Europe. “PACCAR is excited about the opportunity to create the next generation of powertrains that will continue the company’s environmental leadership and enhance our customers’ operations,” said Landon Sproull, PACCAR vice president.

Kyle Quinn, PACCAR chief technology officer, noted, “PACCAR is investing in next generation technology across its portfolio of industry-leading products and services. The PACCAR Innovation Center in Silicon Valley, California enhances the company’s access to emerging technologies and talent from around the world. CES is an outstanding forum to showcase PACCAR’s advanced engineering leadership.”

Annual revenues were a record $3.84 billion, 15% higher than the $3.33 billion in revenues in 2017. David Danforth, PACCAR vice president and PACCAR Parts general manager, noted, “PACCAR Parts’ revenue and profit growth has been driven by investments in distribution and technology, initiatives such as TRP all-makes parts, TRP stores and a growing population of Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF trucks, powered by PACCAR engines. PACCAR Parts’ excellent long-term profit growth has enhanced the stability of PACCAR’s earnings throughout the business cycle.”

PACCAR Parts’ 18 Distribution Centers (PDCs) support over 2,200 DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt dealer locations to deliver industry-leading customer service. PACCAR opened a new 160,000 square-foot distribution center in Toronto, Canada in 2018 to enhance parts availability for customers in eastern Canada.

PACCAR’s consistent long-term profits, strong balance sheet, and intense focus on quality, technology and productivity have enabled the company to invest $6.1 billion in new and expanded facilities, innovative products and new technologies during the past decade. Capital investments of $437.1 million and research and development expenses of $306.1 million in 2018 were invested in new vehicles and technologies, enhanced manufacturing and parts distribution facilities and innovative aftermarket support programs. George West, PACCAR vice president, said, “We are increasing our capital and research and development investments in 2019. Capital expenditures are projected to be $525-$575 million and research and development expenses are estimated to be $320-$350 million. PACCAR is investing for long-term growth in new truck models, integrated powertrains including zero emission electrification and hydrogen fuel cell technologies, enhanced aerodynamic truck designs, advanced driver assistance systems and truck connectivity, and expanded manufacturing and parts distribution facilities.”

“PFS’ excellent portfolio performance and increased earning assets contributed to very good results in 2018,” said Bob Bengston, PACCAR senior vice president. “Industry demand for used trucks in the U.S. is strong.

This earnings release includes “adjusted net income (non-GAAP)” and “adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP)”, which are financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), since they exclude the one-time tax benefit from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") in 2017. These measures differ from the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Management utilizes these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s performance and believes these measures allow investors and management to evaluate operating trends by excluding significant non-recurring items that are not representative of underlying operating trends.

Reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP measures of: adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP) are as follows:
