Insights

PACCAR’s Q1 2026 shows solid profitability, strong cash generation, and ongoing heavy investment despite softer truck sales.

PACCAR delivered Q1 2026 net income of $605.3 million on revenues of $6.78 billion. Revenue declined from $7.44 billion a year earlier as truck sales fell, but earnings benefited from the absence of a large prior-year litigation charge and continued strength in Parts and Financial Services.

Truck pretax profit dropped to $176.2 million from $364.9 million, while Parts and Financial Services together contributed over $517 million of pretax income. Operating cash flow was a robust $971.8 million, supporting capital spending of $135.5 million and R&D of $109.1 million. Stockholders’ equity increased to $19.76 billion as of March 31, 2026.

Management projects 2026 industry Class 8 truck sales in the U.S. and Canada of 230,000–270,000 units and European above 16-tonne registrations of 280,000–320,000 units. The company highlights investments in next generation internal combustion, hybrid and battery-electric powertrains and its autonomous vehicle platform, indicating continued strategic focus on advanced technologies.

"PACCAR’s production backlog is increasing due to stronger demand"
Pretax income financial
"PACCAR Parts achieved quarterly pretax income of $402.3 million"
Pretax income is the profit a company generates after paying all operating costs, interest, and other expenses but before income taxes are deducted. It matters to investors because it reveals the company's underlying earning power without the distortion of different tax rates or one-time tax items, acting like a pre-tax paycheck that helps compare performance across firms and assess ability to cover debt and return cash to owners.
Medium-term notes financial
"PFS has excellent access to the debt markets, issuing $400 million in medium-term notes during the first quarter of 2026"
Medium-term notes are debt securities issued by companies, banks or governments that promise to pay interest and return principal at a set date a few years out—typically longer than short-term bills but shorter than long-term bonds. For investors they act like staggered IOUs that provide predictable income and help diversify holdings, but they carry credit and interest-rate risk and can affect a portfolio’s cash flow and stability depending on the issuer’s creditworthiness and the note’s term.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

PACCAR Achieves Good Financial Performance

April 28, 2026, Bellevue, Washington – “PACCAR reported good revenues and increased net income in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter last year,” said Preston Feight, chief executive officer. “These results were generated by strong PACCAR Parts and Financial Services results and growth in the truck businesses. PACCAR’s production backlog is increasing due to stronger demand. I am very proud of our employees and dealers who have delivered outstanding trucks and transportation solutions to our customers.”

PACCAR achieved quarterly revenues of $6.78 billion in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $7.44 billion reported in the same period in 2025. The company reported net income of $605.3 million ($1.15 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $505.1 million ($.96 per diluted share), which included a $264.5 million after-tax charge related to civil litigation in Europe, in the first quarter of last year.

 

Highlights – First Quarter 2026

Highlights of PACCAR’s financial results during the first quarter of 2026 include:

Consolidated revenues of $6.78 billion.
Net income of $605.3 million.

Global Truck Markets

Kevin Baney, PACCAR president, said, “The U.S. and Canada truck market has enjoyed a positive inflection as customers benefit from higher freight rates due to reduced trucking industry capacity. Customer demand is improving despite fuel and other operating cost volatility as customers now have a better understanding of the 2027 emissions cost impact.” U.S. and Canada Class 8 truck industry retail sales are estimated to be in a range of 230,000-270,000 trucks in 2026.

 

European truck industry registrations for the above 16-tonne market in 2026 are projected to be in a range of 280,000-320,000 trucks. “The aerodynamic and spacious DAF trucks offer industry-leading fuel efficiency and driver comfort to customers,” said Harald Seidel, DAF president. “In the first quarter, DAF Trucks introduced new DAF XG and XG+ Electric trucks. The DAF XF Electric truck was recognized as the ‘2026 Eco-Friendly Truck of the Year’ by the prestigious National Transport Awards program in Spain.”


The South American above 16-tonne truck market is projected to be in the range of 100,000-110,000 trucks in 2026. “Kenworth and DAF trucks are renowned for their durability and advanced engineering, making them best-in-class for the challenging duty cycles of South America,” said Lance Walters, PACCAR vice president. “Customers value Kenworth and DAF’s strong aftermarket parts and service dealer network, which enhances uptime and profitability.”

 

Kenworth Introduces C580 Heavy-Duty Vocational Truck

Kenworth unveiled the new Kenworth C580 truck at the CONEXPO trade show in Las Vegas, reinforcing Kenworth’s leadership position in the heavy-duty vocational segment. The C580 is designed to meet the most demanding vocational applications, such as mining and off-highway petroleum field work. The C580 combines proven durability with the modern comfort and technology of Kenworth’s latest cab platform. Production of the C580 is scheduled to begin in January 2027.

DAF Launches Battery-Electric Vocational Trucks

DAF Trucks has expanded its range of battery-electric trucks to include multiple axle tractor and rigid models for specific vocational applications such as construction. The new chassis models are available for the XD and XF Electric – ‘International Truck of the Year 2026’ – and for the larger XG and XG+ Electric, which feature the most spacious cabs in the European truck market.

 

DAF XD, XF, XG and XG+ Electric trucks provide zero emissions ranges of up to 300 miles, depending on the application duty cycle and the number of battery packs. Customers benefit from DAF’s close collaboration with leading bodywork manufacturers throughout Europe, so that vocational bodies can be easily mounted on the chassis.

PACCAR Parts achieved quarterly pretax income of $402.3 million, compared to $426.5 million earned in the first quarter of 2025. Bryan Sitko, PACCAR vice president and PACCAR Parts general manager, said, “PACCAR Parts provides aftermarket parts and transportation solutions that deliver greater uptime and profitability for customers.

PACCAR Financial Services Achieves Strong Quarterly Profits

PACCAR Financial Services (PFS) achieved pretax income of $115.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $121.1 million earned in the first quarter of 2025. First quarter 2026 revenues were $542.2 million compared to $528.0 million in the same quarter of last year. “PFS achieved strong quarterly results due to its high quality portfolio,” said Craig Gryniewicz, PACCAR vice president. “PFS is a leader in the market with its superior Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF products, innovative technologies that provide seamless credit application and loan processing, and its support of customers in all phases of the business cycle.”

PFS has a portfolio of 221,000 trucks and trailers, with total assets of $22.3 billion. PacLease, a major full-service truck leasing company in North America and Europe with a fleet of approximately 37,000 vehicles, is included in this segment. “PACCAR’s strong balance sheet, complemented by its A+/A1 credit ratings, enables PFS to offer competitive retail financing to Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF dealers and customers in 26 countries on four continents,” said Terren Drake, PACCAR Financial Corp. president. “PFS has excellent access to the debt markets, issuing $400 million in medium-term notes during the first quarter of 2026.”

Capital and R&D Investments in Products, Technologies and Facilities

PACCAR’s consistent long-term profits, strong balance sheet, and focus on quality, technology, and innovation have enabled the company to invest $9.3 billion in world-class facilities, next generation products, and state-of-the-art technologies during the past decade. PACCAR invested $135.5 million in capital projects and $109.1 million in research and development expenses in the first quarter of 2026. Brice Poplawski, senior vice president and chief financial officer, said, “Capital expenditures are projected to be in the range of $725-$775 million and research and development expenses are estimated to be in the range $450-$500 million in 2026. PACCAR is increasing its investment in next generation internal combustion, hybrid and battery-electric powertrains, integrated connected vehicle services, expanded manufacturing capabilities, and the PACCAR autonomous vehicle platform, that will create value for our customers.”

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

(Unaudited)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Adjusted net income (non-GAAP)” and “adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP)” are financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), since they exclude a charge for EC-related claims. 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On July 19, 2016, the European Commission (EC) concluded its investigation of all major European truck manufacturers and reached a settlement with the Company. Following the settlement, legal proceedings seeking damages were filed against all major European truck manufacturers. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $600.0 ($446.4 after-tax) for the estimable total cost. Several courts have issued judgments; some have been favorable while others have been unfavorable and have been appealed. The Company has settled with the majority of claimants and continues to pursue appropriate resolutions. Due to higher settlement costs, the Company updated its estimate and recorded an additional pre-tax charge of $350.0 ($264.5 after-tax) for the total estimable remaining costs in Interest and other (income) expenses, net in the first quarter of 2025.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Company utilizes these non-GAAP measures to allow investors and management to evaluate operating trends by excluding a significant charge that is not representative of company performance.
