PACCAR Launches Silicon Valley Innovation Center

PACCAR’s Innovation Center will include state-of-the-art laboratory and workshop facilities, and office space.”

Research and Development and Capital Investments

PACCAR’s excellent long-term profits, strong balance sheet, and intense focus on quality, technology and productivity have enabled the company to invest $6.2 billion in capital projects, innovative products and new technologies during the past decade. “Capital of $375-$425 million and R&D expenses of $250-$270 million are being invested this year in new product development, enhanced manufacturing facilities and aftermarket support programs,” said George West, PACCAR vice president.

PACCAR’s Dynacraft division will construct a new 130,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in McKinney, Texas in 2018. Dynacraft manufactures high-quality components and subassemblies, such as battery cables, doors and air conditioning modules for Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks. The Dynacraft facility will support Peterbilt’s operations in Denton, Texas and manufacture PACCAR’s 20,000 lb. front axle for installation in Kenworth and Peterbilt Class 8 vehicles in North America.

PACCAR Leasing, a major full-service truck leasing company in North America and Europe with a fleet of 36,000 vehicles, is included in this segment.

Kenworth and Peterbilt vehicle resale values continue to command a 10-20 percent premium over competitors’ trucks.”

“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 24 countries on four continents,” said Todd Hubbard, PACCAR vice president and PACCAR Financial Corp. president. “We have excellent access to the commercial paper and medium-term note markets, allowing PFS to profitably support the sale of PACCAR trucks.”

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
 
 

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 non-recurring European Commission charge in 2016. 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 a significant non-recurring charge that is 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:
