BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“PACCAR achieved very good revenues and increased net income by 24% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the preceding quarter,” said Preston Feight, chief executive officer. “Build rates increased during the quarter due to strong orders as customers benefited from PACCAR’s industry-leading trucks and improved freight rates. I am very proud of our employees and dealers who delivered these trucks and transportation solutions to our customers.”

Global Truck Markets
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. “Customers are benefiting from higher freight rates due to constrained industry freight capacity. Fleet age has increased as well, providing an opportunity for customers to refresh their fleets with newer, more fuel-efficient trucks,” said John Rich, PACCAR executive vice president and chief technology officer. “On July 9, the U.S. EPA provided helpful clarification of emissions regulations that will be beneficial to customers as they make truck purchasing decisions for the second half of this year and 2027.”
Peterbilt proudly unveiled in the second quarter the Freedom 250 Special Edition Model 589 truck, honoring America’s historic 250th birthday. This truck delivers the superior quality and pride of ownership that Peterbilt customers expect, with a red, white and blue design that celebrates freedom and the open road.
European truck industry registrations in the above 16-tonne segment are estimated to be in a range of 290,000–330,000 vehicles this year. “DAF trucks are delivering the highest fuel efficiency and best-in-class driver comfort in the industry due to their innovative, aerodynamic design,” shared Jim Walenczak, DAF president. In the second quarter, DAF Trucks was named ‘Truck Manufacturer of the Year’ by the leading British Motor Trader magazine at its prestigious Commercial Industry Awards ceremony in the U.K.
The South American above 16-tonne truck market is estimated to be in the range of 100,000–110,000 trucks this year. “South American customers appreciate Kenworth and DAF’s industry-leading product quality, complemented by outstanding aftermarket support including PACCAR Parts, PACCAR Financial Services and premium dealerships,” said Lance Walters, PACCAR vice president.
PACCAR Parts Achieves Record Quarterly Revenues
PACCAR Parts earned pre-tax income of $417.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $416.5 million earned in the same period last year. PACCAR Parts achieved record revenues of $1.75 billion in the second quarter, compared to $1.72 billion reported in the same period last year. First half 2026 revenues were $3.46 billion, compared to $3.41 billion in the same period last year. PACCAR Parts achieved pre-tax profit of $819.3 million in the first six months of 2026, compared to $843.0 million in the first six months of 2025.
“The improved North American freight market will increase our customers’ truck utilization, which will deliver increased parts and service business,” said Bryan Sitko, PACCAR vice president and PACCAR Parts general manager. “PACCAR Parts’ performance reflects investments in new parts distribution centers, transportation solutions such as Managed Dealer Inventory and Fleet Services, and a growing number of PACCAR trucks with PACCAR powertrains in operation.”
PACCAR Parts’ 21 global parts distribution centers, with over 4 million square feet, support more than 2,000 DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt sales, parts and service locations, and more than 350 TRP stores. These independent, well-capitalized dealers provide outstanding service to customers, complementing the premium quality of DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt vehicles.

PFS reported first half revenues of $1.09 billion compared to $1.08 billion in the first half of 2025. “PFS achieved good first half results due to its steady finance margins and an improving used truck market,” said Craig Gryniewicz, PACCAR vice president.
PFS has a portfolio of 222,000 trucks and trailers, with total assets of $22.3 billion. PacLease, a major full-service truck leasing company in North America, Europe and Australia with a fleet of 37,000 vehicles, is included in this segment. “PACCAR’s excellent 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.

| SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION | ||||||
| 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. | ||||||
|
||||||
| Reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP measures to adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP) are as follows: | ||||||
