T O   O U R   S H A R E H O L D E R S

PACCAR is celebrating 112 years of success and delivered record revenues and excellent net profits to its 

shareholders in 2017 — the second best year in company history. This is a major milestone that was achieved by 

3

the steady and consistent leadership of the company and the unwavering commitment of all employees to exceed 

our customers’ expectations by delivering the highest quality products and services. PACCAR and its employees are 

proud of the remarkable achievement of 79 consecutive years of net profit. PACCAR has achieved excellent 

financial results by focusing on the premium quality segment of its industry — a notable record considering the 

cyclicality of the capital goods business. PACCAR is one of the leading technology companies worldwide, and 

innovation is a cornerstone of its success, as exemplified by the opening of the PACCAR Innovation Center in 

Silicon Valley. PACCAR continues to integrate new technology into its daily operations, including sophisticated 

holograms for design and diagnostics, increased robotics in truck manufacturing, enhanced algorithms in parts 

distribution and mobile apps for our financial services and leasing customers.

PACCAR’s excellent year in 2017 is due to many positive factors including record Kenworth and Peterbilt 

market share in North America and DAF’s strong performance in the European truck market. A record aftermarket 

parts business reflects new sales initiatives and a growing population of PACCAR vehicles and powertrain 

components. Customers renewed their fleets to take advantage of the reliability and operating efficiency of new 

DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks and to meet increasing freight demand. PACCAR’s financial results continue to 

benefit from global diversification, with dealers opening new service locations and PACCAR Parts launching several 

new distribution centers. The company has realized excellent synergies globally in product development, finance 

activities, purchasing and manufacturing.

  The enacted tax reduction legislation in the United States will generate positive results for PACCAR. The revised 

corporate tax rate is comparable to other leading OECD countries’ tax rates and will enable the transportation 

industry to update their fleets as a result of the accelerated depreciation enhancements. Our shareholders have 

enjoyed excellent returns, with steady regular dividend growth and increased shareholder value over the years.  

  The embedded principles of integrity, quality and consistency of purpose define the course in PACCAR’s 

operations. The proven business strategy — deliver technologically advanced premium products and provide an 

extensive array of tailored aftermarket customer services — enables PACCAR to pragmatically approach growth 

opportunities. 

I would like to thank the tens of thousands of employees whose hard work, ingenuity and drive for quality 

through the decades have enabled PACCAR to grow as a global technology company and deliver excellent results to 

our shareholders.

PACCAR had an excellent year in 2017, generating record revenues and industry-leading operating margins. 

4

Revenues climbed to $19.46 billion and net income was $1.68 billion, an after-tax return on revenue of 8.6%. Net 

income included $173.4 million of one-time net tax benefits resulting from the recent changes to the U.S. tax law.  

Excluding the one-time net tax benefit, PACCAR earned $1.50 billion in adjusted net income(1), the second highest in 

the company’s history.  The adjusted after-tax return on revenues was 7.7%(1).  The company has earned net income for 

79 consecutive years. 

PACCAR’s financial results reflect the company’s premium-quality products and services, a strong truck market in 

Europe, record Class 8 truck market share of 30.7% in the U.S. and Canada and record medium-duty truck deliveries, 

complemented by record aftermarket parts sales and good financial services results worldwide. Last year’s achievements 

reflect the efforts of PACCAR’s 25,000 outstanding employees delivering industry-leading product quality and 

innovation, and outstanding operating efficiency. PACCAR’s superior financial strength enabled the company to invest 

$697.8 million in capital projects and research and development in 2017 to enhance its manufacturing capability, 

expand its range of aerodynamic vehicles and powertrain components and strengthen its aftermarket capabilities. 

PACCAR delivered 158,900 trucks to its customers, the second highest in its history, and sold a record $3.33 billion of 

aftermarket parts. PACCAR’s excellent credit ratings of A+/A1 supported PACCAR Financial Services’ new loans and 

leases of $4.33 billion. Stockholders’ equity was a record $8.05 billion.  

  Class 8 truck industry retail sales in North America, including Mexico, were 244,000 vehicles in 2017 compared to 

243,000 the prior year. The European 16+ tonne market in 2017 increased to 306,000 vehicles compared to 303,000 in 

2016. Customers in North America and Europe are generating good profits due to strong freight tonnage, low fuel 

prices and the superior operating efficiency of Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF trucks.

PACCAR’s strong financial performance in 2017 benefited from PACCAR Parts’ record pre-tax profits of $614.2 

million and PACCAR Financial Services’ pre-tax profits of $264.0 million. After-tax return on beginning stockholders’ 

equity (ROE) was 24.7% in 2017. Excluding the one-time tax benefit, ROE was 22.2%(1). PACCAR’s long-term financial 

performance has enabled the company to distribute $5.1 billion in dividends during the last ten years. PACCAR’s average 

annual total stockholder return over the last fifteen years was 15.1% versus 9.9% for the S&P 500 Index.

INVESTING  FOR  THE  FUTURE — PACCAR’s consistent profitability, strong balance sheet and intense focus on 

quality, technology and productivity have allowed the company to invest $6.1 billion in the last decade in world-

class facilities, innovative products and new technologies. Productivity and efficiency improvements and capacity 

expansions in the last five years have enhanced the capability of the company’s manufacturing and parts facilities. 

In 2017, capital investments were $433.1 million and research and development expenses were $264.7 million. 

PACCAR expanded its vehicle product range, invested in truck and powertrain technologies that increase vehicle fuel 

efficiency and reliability, and enhanced its manufacturing and parts distribution facilities. The new DAF CF and XF, 

which earned the “International Truck of the Year 2018” award, the new Kenworth T880S set-forward front axle model, 

the expanded Peterbilt Model 520 cab configurations, and the PACCAR Automated Transmission in North America 

provide customers transportation solutions that deliver the lowest total cost of operation. PACCAR’s engine factories 

produced a record number of PACCAR MX-13 and MX-11 engines in 2017 and the company invested in additional 

engine manufacturing capacity. Kenworth and Peterbilt have installed nearly 160,000 PACCAR engines since the 

Mississippi engine factory began production in 2010. PACCAR investments in truck manufacturing capacity included 

(1) See page 46 for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. 

 
 
 
 
the $110 million DAF cab paint facility in Westerlo, Belgium and the 100,000 square-foot Peterbilt truck test facility in 

Denton, Texas.  Kenworth and Peterbilt are investing in additional robotic cab assembly capabilities to support the 

5

growing demand for their latest aerodynamic truck models. PACCAR is also investing in the development of zero 

emission electric and hydrogen fuel cell powertrains.

  The PACCAR Technical Center in Pune, India provides support to PACCAR’s global product and technology 

initiatives. In China, PACCAR expanded its purchasing activities and continued to examine opportunities to increase 

participation in the world’s largest truck market.  

CONTINUOUS  IMPROVEMENT — Six Sigma and lean process development are integrated into all business activities 

at PACCAR and have been adopted at hundreds of the company’s suppliers and many of the company’s dealers 

and customers. Six Sigma’s statistical methodology is critical in the development of new product designs, customer 

services and manufacturing processes. Six Sigma and other product and process enhancement capabilities are 

using advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence tools. Since 1997, PACCAR has delivered billions of dollars 

in Six Sigma savings in all facets of the company. Thousands of PACCAR’s employees have been trained in Six 

Sigma and have implemented over 42,000 projects. Six Sigma, in conjunction with PACCAR Supplier Quality, 

improve logistics performance and component quality from company suppliers.

INFORMATION  TECHNOLOGY — PACCAR’s Information Technology Division (ITD) and its 840 innovative 

employees are an important competitive asset for the company. ITD collaborates closely with all company 

businesses to develop and integrate software and hardware that enhances the quality and efficiency of all products 

and operations throughout the company. ITD’s leadership role is integral to the ongoing development of DAF 

Connect, Peterbilt SmartLINQ, and Kenworth TruckTech+ innovative truck connectivity solutions. The ITD team 

works closely with the truck divisions and suppliers to accelerate adoption of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems 

(ADAS) in PACCAR vehicles globally. DAF, Peterbilt and Kenworth are leaders in implementing autonomous 

driving technologies and demonstrating new technologies such as truck platooning.

TRUCKS — U.S. and Canadian Class 8 truck industry retail sales in 2017 were 218,000 units and the Mexican 

market totaled 26,000 units. The European Union (EU) industry 16+ tonne truck registrations were 306,000 units.

PACCAR’s Class 8 retail sales in the U.S. and Canada achieved a record market share of 30.7% in 2017, up from 

28.5% in 2016. Kenworth and Peterbilt both achieved a record Class 8 market share of 15.3% in 2017. DAF achieved a 

15.3% share in the 16+ tonne truck market in Europe in 2017 compared to 15.5% the prior year. Industry Class 6 and 

7 truck registrations in the U.S. and Canada were 81,000 units, down 5% from the previous year. In the EU, the 6 to 

16-tonne market was 53,000 units. PACCAR’s market share in the U.S. and Canada medium-duty truck segment was a 

record 17.1%. DAF’s share of the medium-duty truck market in Europe increased to 10.5%.  PACCAR delivered a 

record 29,700 medium-duty trucks to its customers in 2017.

  A tremendous team effort by the company’s engineering, purchasing, materials, production, accounting and field 

service employees achieved industry-leading truck, parts and other gross margins above 14% for the third consecutive 

year. A combination of new technology, process improvements, applied data analytics and collaboration with suppliers 

partially offset the effects of commodity cost increases.  PACCAR facilities established records for factory and 

distribution center efficiency.

PACCAR’s product innovation and manufacturing expertise continued to be recognized as the industry leader in 

2017. The PACCAR engine factory in Columbus, Mississippi earned the “2017 Quality Plant of the Year” award from 

 
 
Quality Magazine.  Peterbilt’s truck factory in Denton, Texas earned Frost and Sullivan’s “Manufacturing Leadership” 

6

awards in Operational Excellence and Engineering & Production Technology. Kenworth Chillicothe was recognized by 

the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency with its Silver Level award for exceptional achievements in environmental 

stewardship.  The DAF LF was awarded “Commercial Fleet Truck of the Year” in the U.K. and DAF Trucks was named 

“Truck Fleet Manufacturer of the Year” in the U.K.

PACCAR Mexico continued its strong sales performance, achieving a 35.2% Class 8 market share. PACCAR Mexico 

also expanded truck manufacturing capacity for the critically-acclaimed T680 and T880 models equipped with 

PACCAR MX engines.

PACCAR Australia achieved strong results in 2017 with combined Kenworth and DAF heavy-duty market share of 

22.9%. PacLease Australia continued to expand its operations offering customers Kenworth and DAF rental, full-service 

lease and contract maintenance programs tailored to their specific needs. Kenworth began producing the new T610 

model which combines state-of-the-art aerodynamics, a 12-inch wider cab and a luxurious interior to solidify 

Kenworth’s position as the market leader.  The T610 earned the “Good Design Award” in the Automotive and Transport 

category from Good Design Australia.

  DAF Brasil increased truck production and market share in 2017 and was honored by Fenabrave, the Brasil national 

truck dealer association, as the most desired truck brand in Brasil for the second consecutive year.

PACCAR  PARTS — PACCAR Parts had its fourth consecutive year of revenues over $3 billion and strong profits 

as dealers and customers accelerated adoption of innovative e-commerce platforms and global fleet service 

programs offering national pricing and centralized billing. PACCAR Parts is the primary source for aftermarket 

parts and services for PACCAR vehicles, as well as supplying its “TRP” branded parts for all makes of trucks, 

trailers and buses. PACCAR dealers expanded TRP aftermarket parts retail stores to 130 locations in 31 

countries. Over six million heavy-duty trucks operate in North America and Europe. The large vehicle parc and 

the growing number of PACCAR MX engines installed in Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks in North America 

create excellent demand for parts and service and moderate the cyclicality of truck sales.

PACCAR Parts expanded its facilities to enhance logistics performance to dealers and customers. PACCAR Parts 

opened new distribution centers in Panama City, Panama and Brisbane, Australia and began construction of a new 

160,000 square-foot distribution center in Toronto, Canada in 2017.  PACCAR Parts will begin a project to expand 

warehouse capacity in Las Vegas in 2018. 

FINANCIAL  SERVICES — PACCAR Financial Services’ (PFS) conservative business approach, coupled with PACCAR’s 

superb S&P credit rating of A+ and the strength of the dealer network, enabled PFS to earn pre-tax profits of $264.0 

million in 2017. PACCAR issued $1.63 billion in medium-term notes at attractive rates during the year. PFS has 

operations covering 24 countries on four continents. The global breadth of PFS and its rigorous credit application 

process support a record portfolio of 188,000 trucks and trailers, with record total assets of $13.20 billion. PACCAR 

Financial and PACCAR Leasing are the preferred funding sources for DAF, Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks, financing 

24.9% of dealer new truck sales in the markets where PFS operates in 2017. Strategically located used truck centers, 

interactive webcasts and targeted marketing enabled PFS to sell over 9,600 used trucks worldwide.

PACCAR Leasing (PacLease) represents one of the largest full-service truck rental and leasing operations in North 

America, Germany and Australia. PacLease placed nearly 6,200 new PACCAR vehicles in service, a 23% increase over 

2016.  The PacLease fleet totaled 38,000 vehicles at the end of 2017.

 
 
 
 
ENVIRONMENTAL  LEADERSHIP — PACCAR is a global environmental leader. All PACCAR manufacturing facilities have 

earned ISO 14001 environmental certification. The company’s manufacturing facilities enhanced their “Zero Waste to 

7

Landfill” programs during the year. PACCAR is a member of the CDP (formerly known as the Carbon Disclosure 

Project), which aligns corporate environmental goals with global, national and local “green” initiatives. PACCAR earned 

an excellent score of A-, placing it in the top 20% of the thousands of CDP reporting companies from around the world. 

A  LOOK  AHEAD — PACCAR’s 25,000 employees enable the company to distinguish itself as a global leader in the 

technology, capital goods, financial services and aftermarket parts businesses. The outlook for 2018 is very good in North 

America as the economy is expected to grow 2-3%. The European economy is expected to grow approximately 2%.

  The North American truck market in 2018 is expected to increase 10-20%, and the European truck market is 

forecast to be strong again in 2018 as anticipated economic growth will support heavy-duty truck demand. Current 

estimates for the 2018 Class 8 truck industry in the U.S. and Canada range from 235,000-265,000 units. Registrations 

for Class 6-7 trucks are expected to be between 80,000-90,000 vehicles. The European 16+ tonne truck market in 2018 

is estimated to be in the range of 290,000-320,000 trucks, while demand for medium-duty trucks should range from 

50,000-55,000 units.

PACCAR Parts’ industry-leading services and strong freight demand in North America and Europe should provide 

increased parts deliveries in the company’s aftermarket parts business. The PACCAR Financial portfolio is expected to 

continue to perform well due to growing economies in North America and Europe.

PACCAR’s industry-leading range of vehicles, modern high technology factories and superb customer service in 

parts and financial services provide an excellent foundation for future growth. PACCAR is well positioned and 

committed to generating the profitable results its shareholders expect.

Peterbilt achieved a record 15.3 percent Class 8 market share in 2017. Peterbilt 

produced its 1,000,000th truck in early 2018, highlighting 78 years of product quality 

9

and customer satisfaction. 

Peterbilt Denton began delivery of the innovative PACCAR Automated Transmission designed specifically 

for long haul heavy vehicles up to 110,000 pounds GVW. The PACCAR transmission is available for engine 

ratings up to 510 horsepower and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque. Peterbilt also introduced the PACCAR 20,000 lb. 

steer axle on Peterbilt Models 567, 520 and 348. This new steer axle provides superior durability in 

demanding vocational applications.   

Peterbilt’s Model 579 on-highway truck offers customers excellent performance due to the PACCAR 

powertrain integration and advanced aerodynamics. Peterbilt developed innovative new idle reduction 

technologies and enhanced adaptive cruise control to improve 

fuel economy by up to three percent. 

Peterbilt’s Class 8 trucks’ remote diagnostics system, 

SmartLINQ, is installed in over 50,000 connected vehicles, 

providing customers with remote diagnostic notifications.   

In 2017, real-time visibility to vehicle service intervals has 

enhanced vehicle productivity. 

  The Peterbilt Model 520 achieved market share of over 30 

percent in the low-cab-forward segment. Peterbilt introduced three new cab configurations for the Model 

520 that improved driver ergonomics for left- and right-hand steer configurations. The Model 520 

enhancements include new LED forward lighting, pantograph wipers and cab corner windows for improved 

visibility. Peterbilt Models 337 and 348 provide customers with collision avoidance and enhanced stability 

control technologies in the Class 6 and 7 markets.

Peterbilt partnered with the California Air Resources Board in the development of electric vehicles for 

logistics companies in port operations and refuse applications in urban centers. 

  The Peterbilt Denton factory increased truck production during the year in support of Peterbilt’s record   

Class 8 market share. Peterbilt earned “Manufacturing Leadership” awards in Engineering & Production 

Technology and Operational Excellence, and a “High Achiever” award for Customer Value from Frost and 

Sullivan’s Manufacturing Leadership Council.

Peterbilt added 25 dealerships, expanding its North American dealer network to a record 372 sales and   

service locations. 

The Peterbilt Model 567 provides customers with the rugged reliability that makes Peterbilt the “Class” of the industry. The advanced 

PACCAR Powertrain delivers industry leading performance and efficiency in challenging applications. The “Class” of the industry 

provides excellent reliability and low cost of operation for all customer operations.

Kenworth achieved a record market share of 15.3 percent in 2017 and introduced the 

PACCAR 12-speed Automated Transmission, expanding Kenworth’s PACCAR 

11

Powertrain offering.  The new Kenworth T880S set-forward front axle model provides 

superior payload, maneuverability and visibility for the vocational markets. 

  Kenworth “The World’s Best” on-highway T680 equipped with the PACCAR MX-13 engine partnered with  

the Department of Energy’s SuperTruck II program, focusing on next generation advancements in Class 8 freight 

efficiency through aerodynamics, enhanced powertrain and weight optimization. 

  The Kenworth T680 and T880 offer the PACCAR tandem axle rated at 40,000

pounds, the lightest and most efficient axle in its class. The vocational T880 added 

the PACCAR front axle in 20,000 and 22,000 pound ratings.

  Kenworth’s predictive cruise control and neutral coast technology delivers 

increased fuel efficiency for T680 and T880 customers. The technology optimizes

fuel economy by anticipating terrain changes through powertrain and cruise 

control algorithms integrated with satellite mapping.

The following line graph compares the yearly percentage change in the cumulative total stockholder return on the 
Company’s common stock, to the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor’s Composite 500 Stock Index 
and the return of the industry peer groups of companies identified in the graph (the “Peer Group Index”) for the 
last five fiscal years ended December 31, 2017. Standard & Poor’s has calculated a return for each company in the 
Peer Group Index weighted according to its respective capitalization at the beginning of each period with 
dividends reinvested on a monthly basis. Management believes that the identified companies and methodology 
used in the graph for the Peer Group Index provide a better comparison than other indices available. The Peer 
Group Index consists of AGCO Corporation, Caterpillar Inc., Cummins Inc., Dana Incorporated, Deere & 
Company, Eaton Corporation, Meritor Inc., Navistar International Corporation, Oshkosh Corporation, AB Volvo 
and CNH Industrial N.V. CNH Industrial N.V. is included from September 30, 2013, when it began trading on the

Truck Outlook
Truck industry retail sales in the U.S. and Canada in 2018 are expected to be 235,000 to 265,000 units compared to 
218,400 in 2017. In Europe, the 2018 truck industry registrations for over 16-tonne vehicles are expected to be 
290,000 to 320,000 units compared to 306,100 in 2017. In South America, heavy-duty truck industry sales were 
68,700 units in 2017 and in 2018 are estimated to be in a range of 65,000 to 75,000 units. 

Parts Outlook
In 2018, PACCAR Parts sales are expected to grow 5-8% compared to 2017 sales. 

Financial Services Outlook
Based on the truck market outlook, average earning assets in 2018 are expected to increase 2-4% compared to 2017. 
Current good levels of freight tonnage, freight rates and fleet utilization are contributing to customers’ profitability 
and cash flow. If current freight transportation conditions decline due to weaker economic conditions, then past due 
accounts, truck repossessions and credit losses would likely increase from the current low levels and new business 
volume would likely decline. 

Capital Spending and R&D Outlook
Capital investments in 2018 are expected to be $425 to $475 million, and R&D is expected to be $280 to $310 million. 
The Company is investing in new truck models, integrated powertrain, enhanced aerodynamic truck designs, advanced 
driver assistance and truck connectivity technologies, and expanded manufacturing and parts distribution facilities.

See the Forward-Looking Statements section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis for factors that may affect 
these outlooks.

The Company’s worldwide truck net sales and revenues increased to $14.77 billion in 2017 from $12.77 billion in 
2016, primarily reflecting higher truck deliveries in the U.S. and Canada, Europe and Australia. Truck segment 
income before income taxes in 2017 reflects higher truck deliveries, while pre-tax return on revenues were unchanged 
at the higher volumes due to a lower gross margin percentage. 

The major factors for the changes in net sales and revenues, cost of sales and revenues and gross margin between 
2017 and 2016 for the Truck segment are as follows:

•  Truck delivery volume, which resulted in higher sales and cost of sales, primarily reflects higher truck deliveries in 
the U.S. and Canada ($1,309.0 million sales and $1,104.3 million cost of sales) and Europe ($370.4 million sales 
and $312.2 million cost of sales).

•  Average truck sales prices increased sales by $121.6 million, primarily due to higher price realization in Europe 
($66.7 million) and the U.S. and Canada ($66.2 million), partially offset by lower price realization in Mexico 
($12.5 million).

•  Average cost per truck increased cost of sales by $100.5 million, reflecting higher material costs.
•  Factory overhead and other indirect costs increased $81.6 million, primarily due to higher salaries and related expenses 

($38.9 million), higher maintenance costs ($27.8 million) as well as higher depreciation expense ($12.7 million).

•  Operating lease revenues decreased by $28.1 million and cost of sales decreased by $25.2 million, reflecting higher 

revenues deferred and lower revenues recognized.

•  The currency translation effect on sales primarily reflects an increase in the value of the euro relative to the U.S. 

dollar, partially offset by a weaker British pound. The currency effect on cost of sales primarily reflects the 
stronger euro relative to the U.S. dollar.

•  Truck gross margins decreased to 11.5% in 2017 from 11.8% in 2016 primarily due to the factors noted above.

Truck selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for 2017 increased to $206.5 million from $202.5 million 
in 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher professional fees and salaries and related expenses, partially offset 
by lower sales and marketing expenses. As a percentage of sales, Truck SG&A decreased to 1.4% in 2017 from 1.6% 
in 2016 due to higher net sales.

•  Aftermarket parts sales volume increased by $270.0 million and related cost of sales increased by $183.6 million 

due to higher demand in all markets.

•  Average aftermarket parts sales prices increased sales by $45.9 million, reflecting higher price realization in the 

U.S. and Canada and Europe. 

•  Average aftermarket parts direct costs increased $37.5 million due to higher material costs.
•  Warehouse and other indirect costs increased $17.1 million, primarily due to higher salaries and related expenses 

to support the higher sales volume. 

•  The currency translation effect on sales primarily reflects an increase in the value of the euro relative to the U.S. 

dollar, partially offset by a weaker British pound. The currency effect on cost of sales primarily reflects the 
stronger euro relative to the U.S. dollar. 

•  Parts gross margins in 2017 decreased to 26.5% from 26.9% in 2016 due to the factors noted above. 

Parts SG&A expense for 2017 was $195.0 million compared to $191.7 million in 2016 primarily due to higher 
salaries and related expenses. As a percentage of sales, Parts SG&A was 5.9% in 2017, down from 6.4% in 2016, 
due to higher net sales.

New loan and lease volume was $4.33 billion in 2017 compared to $4.22 billion in 2016, primarily due to higher 
truck deliveries in 2017. PFS finance market share on new PACCAR truck sales was 24.9% in 2017 compared to 
26.7% in 2016.

PFS revenues increased to $1.27 billion in 2017 from $1.19 billion in 2016. The increase was primarily due to higher 
average operating lease earning assets, and higher used truck sales, partially offset by unfavorable effects of currency 
translation, which decreased PFS revenues by $.6 million in 2017. 

PFS income before income taxes decreased to $264.0 million in 2017 from $306.5 million in 2016, primarily due to 
lower results on returned lease assets, higher borrowing rates, a higher provision for losses on receivables, and the 
effects of translating weaker foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher average earning asset 
balances. The currency exchange impact decreased PFS income before income taxes by $1.2 million in 2017.

Included in Financial Services “Other Assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are used trucks held for 
sale, net of impairments, of $221.7 million at December 31, 2017 and $267.2 million at December 31, 2016. These 
trucks are primarily units returned from matured operating leases in the ordinary course of business, and also includes 
trucks acquired from repossessions or through acquisitions of used trucks in trades related to new truck sales.

The Company recognized losses on used trucks, excluding repossessions, of $45.1 million in 2017 compared to $16.4 
million in 2016, including losses on multiple unit transactions of $29.2 million in 2017 compared to $6.8 million in 
2016. Used truck losses related to repossessions, which are recognized as credit losses, were $5.1 million and $3.4 
million in 2017 and 2016, respectively.

•  Average finance receivables increased $89.1 million (excluding foreign exchange effects) in 2017 as a result of 

retail portfolio new business volume exceeding collections.

•  Average debt balances increased $130.6 million (excluding foreign exchange effects) in 2017. The higher average 
debt balances reflect funding for a higher average earning assets portfolio, which includes loans, finance leases, 
wholesale and equipment on operating lease. 

•  Higher portfolio yields (4.81% in 2017 compared to 4.77% in 2016) increased interest and fees by $5.3 million. 

The higher portfolio yields reflect higher lending volumes in North America which have higher market rates than 
Europe. 

•  Higher borrowing rates (1.7% in 2017 compared to 1.5% in 2016) were primarily due to higher debt market rates 

in North America, partially offset by lower debt market rates in Europe. 

•  The currency translation effects reflect a decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, 

primarily the Mexican peso and the British pound, partially offset by a strengthening euro.

•  A higher volume of used truck sales increased operating lease, rental and other revenues by $9.7 million and 

increased depreciation and other expenses by $8.5 million. 

•  Results on returned lease assets increased depreciation and other expenses by $31.0 million, primarily due to 

higher losses on sales of returned lease units. 

•  Average operating lease assets increased $223.8 million (excluding foreign exchange effects), which increased 

revenues by $56.5 million and related depreciation and other expenses by $47.9 million.

•  Revenue per asset increased $5.5 million primarily due to higher rental income. Cost per asset increased $5.1 

million due to higher depreciation expense, partially offset by lower vehicle operating expenses.

•  The currency translation effects reflect an increase in the value of foreign currencies, relative to the U.S. dollar, 

primarily the euro, partially offset by a weakening of the British pound.

The Company modifies loans and finance leases as a normal part of its Financial Services operations. The Company 
may modify loans and finance leases for commercial reasons or for credit reasons. Modifications for commercial 
reasons are changes to contract terms for customers that are not considered to be in financial difficulty. Insignificant 
delays are modifications extending terms up to three months for customers experiencing some short-term financial 
stress, but not considered to be in financial difficulty. Modifications for credit reasons are changes to contract terms 
for customers considered to be in financial difficulty. The Company’s modifications typically result in granting more 
time to pay the contractual amounts owed and charging a fee and interest for the term of the modification. When 
considering whether to modify customer accounts for credit reasons, the Company evaluates the creditworthiness of 
the customers and modifies those accounts that the Company considers likely to perform under the modified terms. 
When the Company modifies loans and finance leases for credit reasons and grants a concession, the modifications 
are classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDR).

*  Recorded investment immediately after modification as a percentage of the year-end retail portfolio balance.

In 2017, total modification activity decreased compared to 2016, reflecting lower volumes of refinancing for 
commercial reasons, primarily in the U.S. The decrease in modifications for insignificant delay reflects fewer fleet 
customers requesting payment relief for up to three months. Credit - TDR modifications decreased to $20.5 million 
in 2017 from $31.6 million in 2016 mainly due to the contract modifications for two fleet customers in 2016.

The following table summarizes the Company’s 30+ days past due accounts:

Accounts 30+ days past due were .5% at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, reflecting lower past dues in 
Europe as well as Mexico, Australia and other, offset by an increase in the U.S. and Canada. The Company continues 
to focus on maintaining low past due balances.

When the Company modifies a 30+ days past due account, the customer is then generally considered current under 
the revised contractual terms. The Company modified $.6 million and $2.6 million of accounts worldwide during the 
fourth quarter of 2017 and the fourth quarter of 2016, respectively, which were 30+ days past due and became 
current at the time of modification. Had these accounts not been modified and continued to not make payments, the 
pro forma percentage of retail loan and lease accounts 30+ days past due would have been as follows:

Modifications of accounts in prior quarters that were more than 30 days past due at the time of modification are 
included in past dues if they were not performing under the modified terms at December 31, 2017 and 2016. The 
effect on the allowance for credit losses from such modifications was not significant at December 31, 2017 and 2016. 

The Company’s 2017 and 2016 annualized pre-tax return on average earning assets for Financial Services was 2.2% 
and 2.6%, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to higher losses on used trucks in 2017.

Other
Other includes the winch business as well as sales, income and expenses not attributable to a reportable segment, 
including the EC charge and a portion of corporate expense. Other sales represent less than 1% of consolidated net 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
sales and revenues for 2017 and 2016. Other SG&A was $48.1 million in 2017 and $46.6 million in 2016. The 
increase in other SG&A was primarily due to higher labor related costs. 

35

Other income (loss) before tax was a loss of $37.1 million in 2017 compared to a loss of $873.3 million in 2016, 
which included the impact of the $833.0 million EC charge.

Investment income increased to $35.3 million in 2017 from $27.6 million in 2016, primarily due to higher average 
U.S. portfolio balances and higher yields on U.S. investments due to higher market interest rates. 

Income Taxes
In 2017, the effective tax rate was 22.9% compared to 53.8% in 2016. The lower rate is due to the 2017 one-time 
impact from the change in U.S. tax law as explained below, and the unfavorable 2016 impact of the one-time non-
deductible expense of $833.0 million for the EC charge.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted new federal income tax legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Tax Act”). 
The Tax Act lowered the U.S. statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, imposed a one-time transition tax on the 
Company’s foreign earnings, which previously had been deferred from U.S. income tax and created a modified 
territorial system. As a result, the Company recorded a provisional amount of $304.0 million of deferred tax benefits, 
due to the re-measurement of net deferred tax liabilities at the new lower statutory tax rate. In addition, the Company 
recorded a provisional amount of $130.6 million of tax expense on the Company’s foreign earnings, which previously 
had been deferred from U.S. income tax. These provisional amounts may change in 2018, as new information becomes 
available, as the Tax Act continues to be interpreted and as new technical guidance is issued. Based on the Company’s 
current operations, the Company does not expect its future foreign earnings will be subject to significant U.S. federal 
income tax as a result of the new modified territorial system. The Company’s effective tax rate for 2018 is estimated at 
23% to 25%, reflecting the reduced federal tax rate of 21% and other provisions of the Act.

In 2017, the improvement in domestic income before taxes was due to higher truck deliveries and improved 
aftermarket demand. Foreign income (loss) before taxes improved due to stronger truck and aftermarket demand as 
well as the 2016 impact of the $833.0 million EC charge.

The Company’s worldwide truck net sales and revenues decreased to $12.77 billion in 2016 from $14.78 billion in 
2015, primarily due to lower truck deliveries in the U.S. and Canada, partially offset by higher truck deliveries in 
Europe. Truck segment income before income taxes and pre-tax return on revenues decreased in 2016, reflecting the 
lower truck unit deliveries and lower margins.

•  Truck delivery volume reflects lower truck deliveries in the U.S. and Canada, which resulted in lower sales 

($2,276.0 million) and cost of sales ($1,954.1 million), partially offset by higher truck deliveries in Europe which 
resulted in higher sales ($413.3 million) and cost of sales ($320.5 million).

•  Average truck sales prices decreased sales by $147.8 million, primarily due to lower price realization in the U.S. 

and Canada ($108.9 million) and Europe ($26.3 million).

•  Average cost per truck decreased cost of sales by $110.5 million, primarily due to lower material costs. 
•  Factory overhead and other indirect costs decreased $35.6 million, primarily due to lower salaries and related 
expense ($24.7 million) and lower maintenance costs ($18.3 million), partially offset by higher depreciation 
expense ($8.3 million).

•  Operating lease revenues increased by $88.7 million and cost of sales increased by $87.4 million due to higher 

average asset balances.

•  Truck gross margins decreased to 11.8% in 2016 from 12.2% in 2015 due to the factors noted above. 

Truck selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for 2016 increased to $202.5 million from $192.6 million 
in 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries and related expenses. As a percentage of sales, Truck SG&A 
increased to 1.6% in 2016 compared to 1.3% in 2015, reflecting the lower sales volume.

The Company’s worldwide parts net sales and revenues decreased to $3.01 billion in 2016 from $3.06 billion in 2015, 
primarily due to lower aftermarket demand in North America and the effect of translating weaker foreign currencies 
into the U.S. dollar. The decrease in Parts segment income before income taxes and pre-tax return on revenues in 
2016 was primarily due to lower sales volume and margins in North America and the effect of translating weaker

New loan and lease volume was $4.22 billion in 2016 compared to $4.44 billion in 2015, primarily due to lower truck 
deliveries in the U.S. and Canada. PFS finance market share on new PACCAR truck sales was 26.7% in 2016 
compared to 25.9% in 2015. 

PFS revenues increased to $1.19 billion in 2016 from $1.17 billion in 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher 
average earning asset balances, partially offset by the effects of translating weaker foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar. 
The effects of currency translation lowered PFS revenues by $27.1 million for 2016. 

PFS income before income taxes decreased to $306.5 million in 2016 from $362.6 million in 2015, primarily due to 
lower results on returned lease assets, higher borrowing rates, the effects of translating weaker foreign currencies to 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
the U.S. dollar and a higher provision for losses on receivables, partially offset by higher average earning asset 
balances. The effects of currency translation lowered PFS income before income taxes by $9.7 million for 2016.

•  Average finance receivables decreased $43.9 million (excluding foreign exchange effects) in 2016 as a result of 

lower dealer wholesale financing, partially offset by loans and finance leases and retail portfolio volume exceeding 
collections.

•  Average debt balances decreased $9.0 million (excluding foreign exchange effects) in 2016. The lower average debt 
balances reflect lower funding requirements as the higher average earning asset portfolio (which includes loans, 
finance leases, wholesale and equipment on operating lease) was funded with retained equity. 

•  Lower portfolio yields (4.91% in 2016 compared to 4.92% in 2015) decreased interest and fees by $1.0 million. 

The lower portfolio yields reflect higher lending volumes in Europe at lower relative market rates. 

•  Higher borrowing rates (1.5% in 2016 compared to 1.4% in 2015) were primarily due to higher debt market rates 

in North America, partially offset by lower debt market rates in Europe. 

•  The currency translation effects reflect a decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

•  A higher volume of used truck sales increased operating lease, rental and other revenues by $3.2 million. 

Depreciation and other expenses increased by $5.2 million due to higher volume and impairments of used trucks 
reflecting lower used truck prices. 

•  Results on returned lease assets increased depreciation and other expenses by $19.2 million, primarily due to 

gains on sales of returned lease units in 2015 versus losses in 2016.

•  Average operating lease assets increased $178.3 million in 2016 (excluding foreign exchange effects), which 

increased revenues by $29.2 million and related depreciation and other expenses by $24.0 million.

•  Revenue per asset increased $11.8 million, primarily due to higher rental rates in Europe, partially offset by lower 

rental utilization and fuel surcharge revenue. Cost per asset increased $12.5 million, primarily due to higher 
depreciation expense in Europe. 

•  The currency translation effects reflect a decline in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, 

primarily the Mexican peso and British pound.

The provision for losses on receivables was $18.4 million in 2016, an increase of $6.0 million compared to 2015, 
reflecting higher losses in the oil and gas sector in the U.S. and Canada, partially offset by improved portfolio 
performance in Europe. 

The Company modifies loans and finance leases as a normal part of its Financial Services operations. The Company 
may modify loans and finance leases for commercial reasons or for credit reasons. Modifications for commercial 
reasons are changes to contract terms for customers that are not considered to be in financial difficulty. Insignificant 
delays are modifications extending terms up to three months for customers experiencing some short-term financial 
stress, but not considered to be in financial difficulty. Modifications for credit reasons are changes to contract terms 
for customers considered to be in financial difficulty. The Company’s modifications typically result in granting more 
time to pay the contractual amounts owed and charging a fee and interest for the term of the modification. When 
considering whether to modify customer accounts for credit reasons, the Company evaluates the creditworthiness of 
the customers and modifies those accounts that the Company considers likely to perform under the modified terms. 
When the Company modifies loans and finance leases for credit reasons and grants a concession, the modifications 
are classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDR).

In 2016, total modification activity increased compared to 2015, primarily reflecting higher volume of refinancings 
for commercial reasons, including a contract modification for one large customer in the U.S. The increase in 
modifications for insignificant delay reflects more fleet customers requesting payment relief for up to three months. 
Credit - no concession modifications increased primarily due to extensions granted to one customer in Australia.

Accounts 30+ days past due were .5% at December 31, 2016 and 2015, reflecting lower past dues in Europe offset by 
higher past dues in Mexico. The Company continues to focus on maintaining low past due balances.

When the Company modifies a 30+ days past due account, the customer is then generally considered current under 
the revised contractual terms. The Company modified $2.6 million of accounts worldwide during the fourth quarter 
of 2016 and the fourth quarter of 2015 which were 30+ days past due and became current at the time of 
modification. Had these accounts not been modified and continued to not make payments, the pro forma percentage 
of retail loan and lease accounts 30+ days past due would have been as follows:

Modifications of accounts in prior quarters that were more than 30 days past due at the time of modification are 
included in past dues if they were not performing under the modified terms at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The 
effect on the allowance for credit losses from such modifications was not significant at December 31, 2016 and 2015. 

The Company’s 2016 and 2015 annualized pre-tax return on average earning assets for Financial Services was 2.6% 
and 3.2%, respectively.

Other
Other includes the winch business as well as sales, income and expenses not attributable to a reportable segment, 
including the EC charge and a portion of corporate expense. Other sales represent less than 1% of consolidated net 
sales and revenues for 2016 and 2015. Other SG&A was $46.6 million in 2016 and $58.7 million in 2015. The 
decrease in SG&A was primarily due to lower salaries and related expenses and lower professional fees. Other income 
(loss) before tax was a loss of $873.3 million in 2016 compared to a loss of $43.2 million in 2015. The higher loss in

2016 was primarily due to the EC charge and lower pre-tax results from the winch business, which has been affected 
by lower oilfield related sales, partially offset by lower SG&A expense.

Investment income increased to $27.6 million in 2016 from $21.8 million in 2015, primarily due to higher yields on 
investments due to higher market interest rates and higher realized gains.

Income Taxes
In 2016, the effective tax rate increased to 53.8% from 31.4% in 2015, and substantially all of the difference in tax 
rates was due to the non-deductible expense of $833.0 million for the EC charge in 2016.

In 2016, the decline in income before income taxes and return on revenues for domestic operations was primarily 
due to lower revenues from truck operations. In 2016, the EC charge of $833.0 million resulted in a loss before 
income taxes and a negative return on revenues for foreign operations. Excluding the EC charge, foreign operations 
income before income taxes and return on revenues increased primarily due to higher revenues from European truck 
operations as a result of improved truck volumes and margins in Europe.

2017 Compared to 2016: 
Operating activities:  Cash provided by operations increased by $415.0 million to $2.72 billion in 2017. Higher 
operating cash flows reflect higher net income of $1.68 billion in 2017, compared to net income of $521.7 million in 
2016, which includes payment of the $833.0 million EC charge. In addition, there were higher cash inflows of $342.2 
million from accounts payable and accrued expenses as purchases of goods and services exceeded payments. The 
higher cash inflows were offset by wholesale receivables on new trucks of $673.6 million as originations exceeded 
cash receipts in 2017 ($272.0 million) compared to cash receipts exceeding originations in 2016 ($401.6 million). 
Additionally, there was a higher cash usage of $214.0 million from inventory due to $149.9 million in net inventory 
purchases in 2017 versus $64.1 million in net inventory reductions in 2016. Finally, there was a higher cash outflow 
for payment of income taxes of $160.0 million.

43

Investing activities:  Cash used in investing activities increased by $400.3 million to $1.96 billion in 2017 from $1.56 
billion in 2016. Higher net cash used in investing activities reflects $463.7 million in marketable debt securities as 
there was $190.8 million in net purchases of marketable debt securities in 2017 compared to $272.9 million in net 
proceeds from sales of marketable debt securities in 2016. In addition, there were higher net originations of retail 
loans and direct financing leases of $87.0 million in 2017 compared to 2016. The outflows were partially offset by 
lower cash used in the acquisitions of equipment for operating leases of $166.5 million.

Financing activities:  Cash used in financing activities was $393.8 million in 2017 compared to cash used in financing 
activities of $823.5 million in 2016. The Company paid $558.3 million in dividends in 2017 compared to $829.3 
million in 2016; the decrease of $271.0 million was primarily due to a lower special dividend paid in January 2017 
than the special dividend paid in January 2016. In 2016, the Company repurchased 1.4 million shares of common 
stock for $70.5 million, while there were no stock repurchases in 2017. In 2017, the Company issued $1.67 billion of 
term debt, increased its outstanding commercial paper and short-term bank loans by $352.1 million and repaid term 
debt of $1.90 billion. In 2016, the Company issued $1.99 billion of term debt, repaid term debt of $1.63 billion and 
reduced its outstanding commercial paper and short-term bank loans by $322.8 million. This resulted in cash 
provided by borrowing activities of $125.2 million in 2017, $78.3 million higher than the cash provided by 
borrowing activities of $46.9 million in 2016. 

2016 Compared to 2015:
Operating activities:  Cash provided by operations decreased by $255.2 million to $2.30 billion in 2016. Lower 
operating cash flows reflect lower net income of $521.7 million in 2016, which includes payment of the $833.0 
million EC charge, and higher pension contributions of $122.8 million. This was partially offset by $675.0 million 
from Financial Services segment wholesale receivables, whereby cash receipts exceeded originations in 2016 ($401.6 
million) compared to originations exceeding cash receipts in 2015 ($273.4 million). In addition, there was a lower 
cash outflow for payment of income taxes of $281.4 million.

Investing activities:  Cash used in investing activities decreased by $410.6 million to $1.56 billion in 2016 from $1.97 
billion in 2015. Lower net cash used in investing activities reflects $567.2 million from marketable debt securities as 
there was $272.9 million in net proceeds from sales of marketable debt securities in 2016 versus $294.3 million in net 
purchases of marketable debt securities in 2015 and higher net originations of retail loans and direct financing leases 
of $100.7 million. This was partially offset by higher cash used in the acquisitions of equipment for operating leases 
of $151.2 million and higher payments for property, plant and equipment of $88.5 million.

Financing activities:  Cash used in financing activities was $823.5 million in 2016 compared to cash used in financing 
activities of $196.5 million in 2015. The Company paid $829.3 million in dividends in 2016 compared to $680.5 
million in 2015; the increase of $148.8 million was primarily due to an increase for the 2015 special dividend paid in 
January 2016. In 2016, the Company issued $1.99 billion of term debt, repaid term debt of $1.63 billion and reduced 
its outstanding commercial paper and short-term bank loans by $322.8 million. In 2015, the Company issued $1.99 
billion of term debt, increased its outstanding commercial paper and short-term bank loans by $250.7 million and 
repaid term debt of $1.58 billion. This resulted in cash provided by borrowing activities of $46.9 million in 2016, 
$616.9 million lower than the cash provided by borrowing activities of $663.8 million in 2015. The Company 
repurchased 1.4 million shares of common stock for $70.5 million in 2016 compared to 3.8 million shares for $201.6 
million in 2015, a decline of $131.1 million.

44

Credit Lines and Other:
The Company has line of credit arrangements of $3.52 billion, of which $3.31 billion were unused at December 31, 
2017. Included in these arrangements are $3.0 billion of syndicated bank facilities, of which $1.0 billion expires in 
June 2018, $1.0 billion expires in June 2021 and $1.0 billion expires in June 2022. The Company intends to replace 
these credit facilities on or before expiration with facilities of similar amounts and duration. These credit facilities are 
maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for commercial paper borrowings and maturing medium-term 
notes. There were no borrowings under the syndicated bank facilities for the year ended December 31, 2017.

On September 23, 2015, PACCAR’s Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of the 
Company’s common stock, and as of December 31, 2017, $206.7 million of shares have been repurchased pursuant to 
the 2015 authorization.

At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and marketable debt 
securities of $1.84 billion and $1.33 billion, respectively, which are reinvested in foreign subsidiaries. The Company 
periodically repatriates foreign earnings. Dividends paid by foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. parent were nil, $.33 
billion and $.24 billion in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company believes that its U.S. cash and cash 
equivalents and marketable debt securities, future operating cash flow and access to the capital markets, along with 
periodic repatriation of foreign earnings, will be sufficient to meet U.S. liquidity requirements.

Truck, Parts and Other
The Company provides funding for working capital, capital expenditures, R&D, dividends, stock repurchases and 
other business initiatives and commitments primarily from cash provided by operations. Management expects this 
method of funding to continue in the future.

Investments for property, plant and equipment in 2017 increased to $425.7 million from $394.6 million in 2016, 
reflecting additional investments in the Company’s manufacturing facilities, new product development and enhanced 
aftermarket support. Over the past decade, the Company’s combined investments in worldwide capital projects and 
R&D totaled $6.11 billion, and have significantly increased the operating capacity and efficiency of its facilities and 
enhanced the quality and operating efficiency of the Company’s premium products. 

Capital investments in 2018 are expected to be $425 to $475 million, and R&D is expected to be $280 to $310 
million. The Company is investing in PACCAR’s new truck models, integrated powertrains, enhanced aerodynamic 
truck designs, advanced driver assistance and truck connectivity technologies, and expanded manufacturing and parts 
distribution facilities.

The Company conducts business in certain countries which have been experiencing or may experience significant 
financial stress, fiscal or political strain and are subject to the corresponding potential for default. The Company 
routinely monitors its financial exposure to global financial conditions, global counterparties and operating 
environments. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s exposures in such countries were insignificant.

Financial Services
The Company funds its financial services activities primarily from collections on existing finance receivables and 
borrowings in the capital markets. The primary sources of borrowings in the capital markets are commercial paper 
and medium-term notes issued in the public markets and, to a lesser extent, bank loans. An additional source of 
funds is loans from other PACCAR companies.

The Company issues commercial paper for a portion of its funding in its Financial Services segment. Some of this 
commercial paper is converted to fixed interest rate debt through the use of interest-rate swaps, which are used to 
manage interest-rate risk.

In November 2015, the Company’s U.S. finance subsidiary, PACCAR Financial Corp. (PFC), filed a shelf registration 
under the Securities Act of 1933. The total amount of medium-term notes outstanding for PFC as of December 31, 
2017 was $4.45 billion. The registration expires in November 2018 and does not limit the principal amount of debt 
securities that may be issued during that period. PFC intends to renew the registration in 2018.

As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s European finance subsidiary, PACCAR Financial Europe, had €1.34 billion 
available for issuance under a €2.50 billion medium-term note program listed on the Professional Securities Market 

of the London Stock Exchange. This program replaced an expiring program in the second quarter of 2017 and is 
renewable annually through the filing of new listing particulars.

45

In April 2016, PACCAR Financial Mexico registered a 10.00 billion peso medium-term note and commercial paper 
program with the Comision Nacional Bancaria y de Valores. The registration expires in April 2021 and limits the 
amount of commercial paper (up to one year) to 5.00 billion pesos. At December 31, 2017, 6.25 billion pesos were 
available for issuance. 

In the event of a future significant disruption in the financial markets, the Company may not be able to issue 
replacement commercial paper. As a result, the Company is exposed to liquidity risk from the shorter maturity of 
short-term borrowings paid to lenders compared to the longer timing of receivable collections from customers. The 
Company believes its cash balances and investments, collections on existing finance receivables, syndicated bank lines 
and current investment-grade credit ratings of A+/A1 will continue to provide it with sufficient resources and access 
to capital markets at competitive interest rates and therefore contribute to the Company maintaining its liquidity and 
financial stability. A decrease in these credit ratings could negatively impact the Company’s ability to access capital 
markets at competitive interest rates and the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity and financial stability. PACCAR 
believes its Financial Services companies will be able to continue funding receivables, servicing debt and paying 
dividends through internally generated funds, access to public and private debt markets and lines of credit.

Total cash commitments for borrowings and interest on term debt are $9.13 billion and were related to the Financial 
Services segment. As described in Note I of the consolidated financial statements, borrowings consist primarily of 
term notes and commercial paper issued by the Financial Services segment. The Company expects to fund its 
maturing Financial Services debt obligations principally from funds provided by collections from customers on loans 
and lease contracts, as well as from the proceeds of commercial paper and medium-term note borrowings. Purchase 
obligations are the Company’s contractual commitments to acquire future production inventory and capital 
equipment. Other obligations include deferred cash compensation.

This annual report 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 (“the Tax Act”) in 2017 and 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. In addition, the annual report includes the financial ratios noted below calculated 
based on non-GAAP measures.

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.

The Company, its competitors and industry in general are subject to various domestic and foreign requirements 
relating to the environment. The Company believes its policies, practices and procedures are designed to prevent 
unreasonable risk of environmental damage and that its handling, use and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances 
have been in accordance with environmental laws and regulations in effect at the time such use and disposal occurred. 

The Company is involved in various stages of investigations and cleanup actions in different countries related to 
environmental matters. In certain of these matters, the Company has been designated as a “potentially responsible 
party” by domestic and foreign environmental agencies. The Company has accrued the estimated costs to investigate 
and complete cleanup actions where it is probable that the Company will incur such costs in the future. Expenditures 
related to environmental activities in the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $1.9 million, $2.2 
million and $2.0 million, respectively. Management expects that these matters will not have a significant effect on the 
Company’s consolidated cash flow, liquidity or financial condition.

C R I T I C A L   A C C O U N T I N G   P O L I C I E S :

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note A of the consolidated financial statements. In the 
preparation of the Company’s financial statements, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, 
management uses estimates and makes judgments and assumptions that affect asset and liability values and the 
amounts reported as income and expense during the periods presented. The following are accounting policies which, 
in the opinion of management, are particularly sensitive and which, if actual results are different from estimates used 
by management, may have a material impact on the financial statements. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
48

Operating Leases
Trucks sold pursuant to agreements accounted for as operating leases are disclosed in Note E of the consolidated 
financial statements. In determining its estimate of the residual value of such vehicles, the Company considers the 
length of the lease term, the truck model, the expected usage of the truck and anticipated market demand. Operating 
lease terms generally range from three to five years. The resulting residual values on operating leases generally range 
between 30% and 60% of original equipment cost. If the sales price of the trucks at the end of the term of the 
agreement differs from the Company’s estimated residual value, a gain or loss will result. 

Future market conditions, changes in government regulations and other factors outside the Company’s control could 
impact the ultimate sales price of trucks returned under these contracts. Residual values are reviewed regularly and 
adjusted if market conditions warrant. A decrease in the estimated equipment residual values would increase annual 
depreciation expense over the remaining lease term. 

During 2017, market values on equipment returning upon operating lease maturity decreased, resulting in an 
increase in depreciation expense of $41.2 million. During 2016, market values on equipment returning upon 
operating lease maturity decreased, resulting in an increase in depreciation expense of $9.6 million. During 2015, 
market values on equipment returning upon operating lease maturity were generally higher than the residual values 
on the equipment, resulting in a reduction in depreciation expense of $5.8 million. 

At December 31, 2017, the aggregate residual value of equipment on operating leases in the Financial Services 
segment and residual value guarantee on trucks accounted for as operating leases in the Truck segment was $2.73 
billion. A 10% decrease in used truck values worldwide, if expected to persist over the remaining maturities of the 
Company’s operating leases, would reduce residual value estimates and result in the Company recording an average 
of approximately $78.1 million of additional depreciation per year.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses related to the Company’s loans and finance leases is disclosed in Note D of the 
consolidated financial statements. The Company has developed a systematic methodology for determining the 
allowance for credit losses for its two portfolio segments, retail and wholesale. The retail segment consists of retail 
loans and direct and sales-type finance leases, net of unearned interest. The wholesale segment consists of truck 
inventory financing loans to dealers that are collateralized by trucks and other collateral. The wholesale segment 
generally has less risk than the retail segment. Wholesale receivables generally are shorter in duration than retail 
receivables, and the Company requires periodic reporting of the wholesale dealer’s financial condition, conducts 
periodic audits of the trucks being financed and in many cases, obtains guarantees or other security such as 
dealership assets. In determining the allowance for credit losses, retail loans and finance leases are evaluated together 
since they relate to a similar customer base, their contractual terms require regular payment of principal and interest, 
generally over three to five years, and they are secured by the same type of collateral. The allowance for credit losses 
consists of both specific and general reserves. 

The Company individually evaluates certain finance receivables for impairment. Finance receivables that are 
evaluated individually for impairment consist of all wholesale accounts and certain large retail accounts with past due 
balances or otherwise determined to be at a higher risk of loss. A finance receivable is impaired if it is considered 
probable the Company will be unable to collect all contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled. In 
addition, all retail loans and leases which have been classified as TDRs and all customer accounts over 90 days past 
due are considered impaired. Generally, impaired accounts are on non-accrual status. Impaired accounts classified as 
TDRs which have been performing for 90 consecutive days are placed on accrual status if it is deemed probable that 
the Company will collect all principal and interest payments.

Impaired receivables are generally considered collateral dependent. Large balance retail and all wholesale impaired 
receivables are individually evaluated to determine the appropriate reserve for losses. The determination of reserves 
for large balance impaired receivables considers the fair value of the associated collateral. When the underlying 
collateral fair value exceeds the Company’s recorded investment, no reserve is recorded. Small balance impaired 
receivables with similar risk characteristics are evaluated as a separate pool to determine the appropriate reserve for 
losses using the historical loss information discussed below. 

The Company evaluates finance receivables that are not individually impaired on a collective basis and determines the 
general allowance for credit losses for both retail and wholesale receivables based on historical loss information, using 

past due account data and current market conditions. Information used includes assumptions regarding the likelihood 
of collecting current and past due accounts, repossession rates, the recovery rate on the underlying collateral based on 
used truck values and other pledged collateral or recourse. The Company has developed a range of loss estimates for 
each of its country portfolios based on historical experience, taking into account loss frequency and severity in both 
strong and weak truck market conditions. A projection is made of the range of estimated credit losses inherent in the 
portfolio from which an amount is determined as probable based on current market conditions and other factors 
impacting the creditworthiness of the Company’s borrowers and their ability to repay. After determining the 
appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses, a provision for losses on finance receivables is charged to income as 
necessary to reflect management’s estimate of incurred credit losses, net of recoveries, inherent in the portfolio.

49

The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated quarterly based on the most recent past due account information and 
current market conditions. As accounts become past due, the likelihood that they will not be fully collected increases. 
The Company’s experience indicates the probability of not fully collecting past due accounts ranges between 30% 
and 80%. Over the past three years, the Company’s year-end 30+ days past due accounts were 0.5% of loan and lease 
receivables. Historically, a 100 basis point increase in the 30+ days past due percentage has resulted in an increase in 
credit losses of 8 to 38 basis points of receivables. At December 31, 2017, 30+ days past dues were 0.5%. If past dues 
were 100 basis points higher or 1.5% as of December 31, 2017, the Company’s estimate of credit losses would likely 
have increased by a range of $6 to $30 million depending on the extent of the past dues, the estimated value of the 
collateral as compared to amounts owed and general economic factors. 

Product Warranty
Product warranty is disclosed in Note H of the consolidated financial statements. The expenses related to product 
warranty are estimated and recorded at the time products are sold based on historical and current data and reasonable 
expectations for the future regarding the frequency and cost of warranty claims, net of recoveries. Management takes 
actions to minimize warranty costs through quality-improvement programs; however, actual claim costs incurred could 
materially differ from the estimated amounts and require adjustments to the reserve. Historically those adjustments 
have not been material. Over the past three years, warranty expense as a percentage of Truck, Parts and Other net sales 
and revenues has ranged between 1.3% and 1.4%. If the 2017 warranty expense had been .2% higher as a percentage of 
net sales and revenues in 2017, warranty expense would have increased by approximately $36 million. 

Income Taxes 
Income taxes are disclosed in Note M of the consolidated financial statements. The Company calculates income tax 
expense on pre-tax income based on current tax law. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for future tax 
consequences on temporary differences between recorded amounts in the financial statements and their respective 
tax basis. The determination of income tax expense requires management estimates and judgement regarding the 
future outcomes of tax law issues included in tax returns and jurisdictional mix of earnings. The Company updates 
its assumptions on all of these factors each quarter as well as new information on tax laws and differences between 
estimated taxes and actual returns when filed. If the Company’s assessment of these matters changes, the effect is 
accounted for in earnings in the period the change is made.

Description of Operations:  PACCAR Inc (the Company or PACCAR) is a multinational company operating in 
three principal segments: (1) the Truck segment includes the design and manufacture of high-quality, light-, 
medium- and heavy-duty commercial trucks; (2) the Parts segment includes the distribution of aftermarket parts 
for trucks and related commercial vehicles; and (3) the Financial Services segment (PFS) includes finance and 
leasing products and services provided to customers and dealers. PACCAR’s finance and leasing activities are 
principally related to PACCAR products and associated equipment. PACCAR’s sales and revenues are derived 
primarily from North America and Europe. The Company also operates in Australia and Brasil and sells trucks and 
parts to customers in Asia, Africa, Middle East and South America.

Principles of Consolidation:  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 
wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are 
eliminated in consolidation. 

Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting 
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the 
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

Revenue Recognition: 
Truck, Parts and Other:  Substantially all sales and revenues of trucks and related aftermarket parts are recorded by 
the Company when products are shipped to dealers or customers, except for certain truck shipments that are 
subject to a residual value guarantee to the customer. Revenues related to these shipments are generally recognized 
on a straight-line basis over the guarantee period (see Note E). At the time certain truck and parts sales to a dealer 
are recognized, the Company records an estimate of any future sales incentive costs related to such sales. The 
estimate is based on historical data and announced incentive programs. In the Truck and Parts segments, the 
Company grants extended payment terms on selected receivables. Interest is charged for the period beyond standard 
payment terms. Interest income is recorded as earned. 

Financial Services:  Interest income from finance and other receivables is recognized using the interest method. Certain 
loan origination costs are deferred and amortized to interest income over the expected life of the contracts, generally 
36 to 60 months, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest method. For operating leases, rental 
revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rental revenues for the years ended December 31, 
2017, 2016 and 2015 were $760.9, $698.9 and $668.6, respectively. Depreciation and related leased unit operating 
expenses were $665.7, $581.7 and $536.2 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

Recognition of interest income and rental revenue is suspended (put on non-accrual status) when the receivable 
becomes more than 90 days past the contractual due date or earlier if some other event causes the Company to 
determine that collection is not probable. Accordingly, no finance receivables more than 90 days past due were 
accruing interest at December 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Recognition is resumed if the receivable becomes 
current by the payment of all amounts due under the terms of the existing contract and collection of remaining 
amounts is considered probable (if not contractually modified) or if the customer makes scheduled payments for 
three months and collection of remaining amounts is considered probable (if contractually modified). Payments 
received while the finance receivable is on non-accrual status are applied to interest and principal in accordance 
with the contractual terms.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:  Cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with a maturity at date of purchase of 
90 days or less.

Marketable Debt Securities:  The Company’s investments in marketable debt securities are classified as available-
for-sale. These investments are stated at fair value with any unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, included as a 
component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI). 

The Company utilizes third-party pricing services for all of its marketable debt security valuations. The Company 
reviews the pricing methodology used by the third-party pricing services, including the manner employed to collect 
market information. On a quarterly basis, the Company also performs review and validation procedures on the 
pricing information received from the third-party providers. These procedures help ensure that the fair value 
information used by the Company is determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.

The Company evaluates its investment in marketable debt securities at the end of each reporting period to 
determine if a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary. Realized losses are recognized upon management’s 
determination that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary. The determination of other-than-temporary 
impairment is a subjective process, requiring the use of judgments and assumptions regarding the amount and 
timing of recovery. The Company reviews and evaluates its investments at least quarterly to identify investments 
that have indications of other-than-temporary impairments. It is reasonably possible that a change in estimate 
could occur in the near term relating to other-than-temporary impairment. Accordingly, the Company considers 
several factors when evaluating debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment, including whether the decline 
in fair value of the security is due to increased default risk for the specific issuer or market interest-rate risk. 

In assessing default risk, the Company considers the collectability of principal and interest payments by monitoring 
changes to issuers’ credit ratings, specific credit events associated with individual issuers as well as the credit ratings 
of any financial guarantor, and the extent and duration to which amortized cost exceeds fair value. 

In assessing market interest-rate risk, including benchmark interest rates and credit spreads, the Company considers 
its intent for selling the securities and whether it is more likely than not the Company will be able to hold these 
securities until the recovery of any unrealized losses.

Receivables:   
Trade and Other Receivables:  The Company’s trade and other receivables are recorded at cost, net of allowances. At 
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, trade and other receivables include trade receivables from dealers and 
customers of $962.0 and $734.6 and other receivables of $165.9 and $127.6 relating primarily to value added tax 
receivables and supplier allowances and rebates. 

Finance and Other Receivables:   
Loans – Loans represent fixed or floating-rate loans to customers collateralized by the vehicles purchased and are 
recorded at amortized cost.

Finance leases – Finance leases are retail direct financing leases and sales-type finance leases, which lease equipment to 
retail customers and dealers. These leases are reported as the sum of minimum lease payments receivable and estimated 
residual value of the property subject to the contracts, reduced by unearned interest which is shown separately.

Dealer wholesale financing – Dealer wholesale financing is floating-rate wholesale loans to PACCAR dealers for new 
and used trucks and are recorded at amortized cost. The loans are collateralized by the trucks being financed.

Operating lease receivables and other – Operating lease receivables and other include monthly rentals due on 
operating leases, unamortized loan and lease origination costs, interest on loans and other amounts due within one 
year in the normal course of business.

Allowance for Credit Losses: 
Truck, Parts and Other:  The Company historically has not experienced significant losses or past due amounts on trade 
and other receivables in its Truck, Parts and Other businesses. Accounts are considered past due once the unpaid 
balance is over 30 days outstanding based on contractual payment terms. Accounts are charged-off against the 
allowance for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered uncollectible. The allowance for 
credit losses for Truck, Parts and Other was $1.5 and $1.7 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, 
respectively. Net charge-offs were $.1, $.1 and $.3 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

Financial Services:  The Company continuously monitors the payment performance of its finance receivables. For 
large retail finance customers and dealers with wholesale financing, the Company regularly reviews their financial 
statements and makes site visits and phone contact as appropriate. If the Company becomes aware of circumstances 
that could cause those customers or dealers to face financial difficulty, whether or not they are past due, the 
customers are placed on a watch list. 

The Company modifies loans and finance leases in the normal course of its Financial Services operations. The Company 
may modify loans and finance leases for commercial reasons or for credit reasons. Modifications for commercial reasons 
are changes to contract terms for customers that are not considered to be in financial difficulty. Insignificant delays are 
modifications extending terms up to three months for customers experiencing some short-term financial stress, but not 
considered to be in financial difficulty. Modifications for credit reasons are changes to contract terms for customers 
considered to be in financial difficulty. The Company’s modifications typically result in granting more time to pay the 
contractual amounts owed and charging a fee and interest for the term of the modification.

When considering whether to modify customer accounts for credit reasons, the Company evaluates the creditworthiness 
of the customers and modifies those accounts that the Company considers likely to perform under the modified terms. 
When the Company modifies loans and finance leases for credit reasons and grants a concession, the modifications are 
classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDR). The Company does not typically grant credit modifications for 
customers that do not meet minimum underwriting standards since the Company normally repossesses the financed 
equipment in these circumstances. When such modifications do occur, they are considered TDRs.

On average, modifications extended contractual terms by approximately five months in 2017 and four months in 
2016 and did not have a significant effect on the weighted average term or interest rate of the total portfolio at 
December 31, 2017 and 2016.

The Company has developed a systematic methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses for its two 
portfolio segments, retail and wholesale. The retail segment consists of retail loans and direct and sales-type finance 
leases, net of unearned interest. The wholesale segment consists of truck inventory financing loans to dealers that 
are collateralized by trucks and other collateral. The wholesale segment generally has less risk than the retail 
segment. Wholesale receivables generally are shorter in duration than retail receivables, and the Company requires 
periodic reporting of the wholesale dealer’s financial condition, conducts periodic audits of the trucks being 
financed and in many cases, obtains guarantees or other security such as dealership assets. In determining the 
allowance for credit losses, retail loans and finance leases are evaluated together since they relate to a similar 
customer base, their contractual terms require regular payment of principal and interest, generally over three to five 
years, and they are secured by the same type of collateral. The allowance for credit losses consists of both specific 
and general reserves. 

The Company individually evaluates certain finance receivables for impairment. Finance receivables that are 
evaluated individually for impairment consist of all wholesale accounts and certain large retail accounts with past 
due balances or otherwise determined to be at a higher risk of loss. A finance receivable is impaired if it is 
considered probable the Company will be unable to collect all contractual interest and principal payments as 
scheduled. In addition, all retail loans and leases which have been classified as TDRs and all customer accounts over 
90 days past due are considered impaired. Generally, impaired accounts are on non-accrual status. Impaired 
accounts classified as TDRs which have been performing for 90 consecutive days are placed on accrual status if it is 
deemed probable that the Company will collect all principal and interest payments. 

Impaired receivables are generally considered collateral dependent. Large balance retail and all wholesale impaired 
receivables are individually evaluated to determine the appropriate reserve for losses. The determination of reserves 
for large balance impaired receivables considers the fair value of the associated collateral. When the underlying 
collateral fair value exceeds the Company’s recorded investment, no reserve is recorded. Small balance impaired 
receivables with similar risk characteristics are evaluated as a separate pool to determine the appropriate reserve for 
losses using the historical loss information discussed below.

The Company evaluates finance receivables that are not individually impaired on a collective basis and determines 
the general allowance for credit losses for both retail and wholesale receivables based on historical loss information, 
using past due account data and current market conditions. Information used includes assumptions regarding the 
likelihood of collecting current and past due accounts, repossession rates, the recovery rate on the underlying 
collateral based on used truck values and other pledged collateral or recourse. The Company has developed a range 
of loss estimates for each of its country portfolios based on historical experience, taking into account loss frequency 
and severity in both strong and weak truck market conditions. A projection is made of the range of estimated credit 
losses inherent in the portfolio from which an amount is determined as probable based on current market 
conditions and other factors impacting the creditworthiness of the Company’s borrowers and their ability to repay. 
After determining the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses, a provision for losses on finance 
receivables is charged to income as necessary to reflect management’s estimate of incurred credit losses, net of 
recoveries, inherent in the portfolio.

In determining the fair value of the collateral, the Company uses a pricing matrix and categorizes the fair value as Level 
2 in the hierarchy of fair value measurement. The pricing matrix is reviewed quarterly and updated as appropriate. The 
pricing matrix considers the make, model and year of the equipment as well as recent sales prices of comparable 
equipment sold individually, which is the lowest unit of account, through wholesale channels to the Company’s dealers 
(principal market). The fair value of the collateral also considers the overall condition of the equipment.

December  31,  2017,  2016  and  2015  (currencies  in  millions)

Accounts are charged-off against the allowance for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, they are 
considered uncollectible, which generally occurs upon repossession of the collateral. Typically the timing between 
the repossession and charge-off is not significant. In cases where repossession is delayed (e.g., for legal proceedings), 
the Company records a partial charge-off. The charge-off is determined by comparing the fair value of the 
collateral, less cost to sell, to the recorded investment.

59

Inventories:  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories in the U.S. is determined 
principally by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Cost of all other inventories is determined principally by the 
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Cost of sales and revenues include shipping and handling costs incurred to deliver 
products to dealers and customers.

Equipment on Operating Leases:  The Company’s Financial Services segment leases equipment under operating 
leases to its customers. In addition, in the Truck segment, equipment sold to customers in Europe subject to a 
residual value guarantee (RVG) by the Company is generally accounted for as an operating lease. Equipment is 
recorded at cost and is depreciated on the straight-line basis to the lower of the estimated residual value or 
guarantee value. Lease and guarantee periods generally range from two to five years. Estimated useful lives of the 
equipment range from four to nine years. The Company reviews residual values of equipment on operating leases 
periodically to determine that recorded amounts are appropriate.

Property, Plant and Equipment:  Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed 
principally by the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets. Certain 
production tooling is amortized on a unit of production basis.

Long-lived Assets and Goodwill:  The Company evaluates the carrying value of property, plant and equipment when 
events and circumstances warrant a review. Goodwill is tested for impairment at least on an annual basis. There were 
no significant impairment charges for the three years ended December 31, 2017. Goodwill was $117.4 and $103.0 at 
December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in value was mostly due to currency translation.

Product Support Liabilities:  Product support liabilities include estimated future payments related to product 
warranties and deferred revenues on optional extended warranties and repair and maintenance (R&M) contracts. 
The Company generally offers one year warranties covering most of its vehicles and related aftermarket parts. For 
vehicles equipped with engines manufactured by PACCAR, the Company generally offers two year warranties on the 
engine. Specific terms and conditions vary depending on the product and the country of sale. Optional extended 
warranty and R&M contracts can be purchased for periods which generally range up to five years. Warranty 
expenses and reserves are estimated and recorded at the time products or contracts are sold based on historical data 
regarding the source, frequency and cost of claims, net of any recoveries. The Company periodically assesses the 
adequacy of its recorded liabilities and adjusts them as appropriate to reflect actual experience. Revenue from 
extended warranty and R&M contracts is deferred and recognized to income generally on a straight-line basis over 
the contract period. Warranty and R&M costs on these contracts are recognized as incurred.

Derivative Financial Instruments:  As part of its risk management strategy, the Company enters into derivative 
contracts to hedge against interest rates and foreign currency risk. Certain derivative instruments designated as 
either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges are subject to hedge accounting. Derivative instruments that are not 
subject to hedge accounting are held as economic hedges. The Company’s policies prohibit the use of derivatives for 
speculation or trading. At the inception of each hedge relationship, the Company documents its risk management 
objectives, procedures and accounting treatment. All of the Company’s interest-rate and certain foreign-exchange 
contracts are transacted under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master agreements. Each 
agreement permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default and certain other termination events.  
For derivative financial instruments, the Company has elected not to offset derivative positions in the balance sheet 
with the same counterparty under the same agreements and is not required to post or receive collateral. Exposure 
limits and minimum credit ratings are used to minimize the risks of counterparty default. The Company’s 
maximum exposure to potential default of its swap counterparties is limited to the asset position of its swap 
portfolio. The asset position of the Company’s swap portfolio is $53.3 at December 31, 2017.

The Company uses regression analysis to assess effectiveness of interest-rate contracts on a quarterly basis. For 
foreign-exchange contracts, the Company performs quarterly assessments to ensure that critical terms continue to 
match. All components of the derivative instrument’s gain or loss are included in the assessment of hedge 
effectiveness. Gains or losses on the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are recognized in current earnings.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company determines that a derivative financial 
instrument has ceased to be a highly effective hedge.

Foreign Currency Translation:  For most of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional 
currency. All assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates and all income statement amounts are 
translated at the weighted average rates for the period. Translation adjustments are recorded in AOCI. The Company 
uses the U.S. dollar as the functional currency for all but one of its Mexican subsidiaries, which uses the local currency. 
For the U.S. functional currency entities in Mexico, inventories, cost of sales, property, plant and equipment and 
depreciation are remeasured at historical rates and resulting adjustments are included in net income.

Earnings per Share:  Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing earnings by the weighted average 
number of common shares outstanding, plus the effect of any participating securities. Diluted earnings per 
common share are computed assuming that all potentially dilutive securities are converted into common shares 
under the treasury stock method.

New Accounting Pronouncements:  In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued 
Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-02 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): 
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendment requires a 
reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) to retained earnings the difference between 
the historical corporate income tax rate and the newly enacted income tax rate resulting from the Tax Act. This 
ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual 
periods.  Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the Company estimates Retained earnings will increase and 
AOCI will decrease approximately $40 million with no impact to Stockholders’ Equity. The Company expects to 
early adopt this ASU in 2018.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-07 Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the 
Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. The amendment disaggregates 
the service cost component from non-service cost components of pension expense and prescribes where to present 
the various components of pension cost on the income statement. This ASU also allows only the service cost 
component to be eligible for capitalization, when applicable (e.g. as a cost of manufactured inventory or self-
constructed assets). The Company will adopt this ASU in January 2018 and accordingly will apply the income 
statement presentation of service and non-service components of pension expense retrospectively and the 
capitalization of service cost prospectively. Non-service components of pension expense (see Note L) are currently 
reported in Cost of sales and revenues and Selling, general and administrative expenses. Upon adoption of this ASU 
these costs will be reported in Truck, Parts and Other: Interest and other expenses, net.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other 
Than Inventory. The amendment in this ASU requires recognition of income tax consequences of an intra-entity 
transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Currently the recognition of current and 
deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer is recognized when the asset has been sold to an outside 
party. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods 
within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. This amendment should be applied on a modified 
retrospective basis with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of 
adoption. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017. The effect of the adoption reduced prepaid income 
taxes and retained earnings by $19.9. Because the corresponding deferred tax asset is not realizable, the Company 
recorded an offsetting valuation allowance. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of 
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendment in this ASU requires entities having financial assets 
measured at amortized cost to estimate credit reserves under an expected credit loss model rather than the current 
incurred loss model. Under this new model, expected credit losses will be based on relevant information about past 
events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect 
collectability. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods 
within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted, but not earlier than annual and interim periods beginning 
after December 15, 2018. This amendment should be applied on a modified retrospective basis with a cumulative 
effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently 
evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements.

December  31,  2017,  2016  and  2015  (currencies  in  millions)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which amends the existing accounting standards 
for leases. Under the new lease standard, lessees will recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually 
all leases (other than short-term leases). Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The ASU is effective for annual 
periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is 
permitted. This ASU requires leases to be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented 
using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated 
financial statements.

61

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends the existing 
accounting standards for revenue recognition. Under the new revenue recognition model, a company should 
recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the 
consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has 
subsequently issued several related ASUs to clarify the implementation guidance in ASU 2014-09. This standard may 
be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or modified retrospectively with a cumulative effect 
recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company will adopt this ASU on a modified retrospective basis 
on January 1, 2018. 

The most significant effect of the standard relates to trucks sold in Europe that are subject to a residual value 
guarantee (RVG) and are currently accounted for as an operating lease in the Truck, Parts and Other section of the 
Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets (see Note E). Under the new standard, revenues will be recognized 
immediately for certain of these RVG contracts that allow customers the option to return their truck and for which 
there is no economic incentive to do so. The Company expects the overall effects on revenues to not be significant, 
as the increase in revenues from immediate recognition will largely be offset by reduced amortization of RVG 
revenue that had been deferred under the prior standard. Upon adoption of the new standard, total RVG assets will 
decrease by approximately $497 million and the related liability will decrease by approximately $520 million. The 
cumulative effect adjustment will increase Retained earnings by approximately $17 million, net of tax. Also as 
required by the new standard, the Company will recognize an asset for the value of expected returned aftermarket 
parts which had previously been netted with the related liabilities. The new standard also requires new and 
expanded footnote disclosures. 

In addition to ASU 2016-16 disclosed above, the Company adopted the following standards effective January 1, 
2017, none of which had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The cost of marketable debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to 
maturity. Amortization, accretion, interest and dividend income and realized gains and losses are included in 
investment income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Gross realized gains 
were $1.4, $4.4 and $2.6, and gross realized losses were $.5, $.1 and $.8 for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 
and 2015, respectively.

Estimated residual values included with finance leases amounted to $340.9 in 2017 and $239.1 in 2016. Experience 
indicates substantially all of dealer wholesale financing will be repaid within one year. In addition, repayment 
experience indicates that some loans, leases and other finance receivables will be paid prior to contract maturity, 
while others may be extended or modified.

For the following credit quality disclosures, finance receivables are classified into two portfolio segments, wholesale 
and retail. The retail portfolio is further segmented into dealer retail and customer retail. The dealer wholesale 
segment consists of truck inventory financing to PACCAR dealers. The dealer retail segment consists of loans and

leases to participating dealers and franchises that use the proceeds to fund customers’ acquisition of commercial 
vehicles and related equipment. The customer retail segment consists of loans and leases directly to customers for 
the acquisition of commercial vehicles and related equipment. Customer retail receivables are further segregated 
between fleet and owner/operator classes. The fleet class consists of customer retail accounts operating more than 
five trucks. All other customer retail accounts are considered owner/operator. These two classes have similar 
measurement attributes, risk characteristics and common methods to monitor and assess credit risk.

Credit Quality:  The Company’s customers are principally concentrated in the transportation industry in 
North America, Europe and Australia. The Company’s portfolio assets are diversified over a large number of 
customers and dealers with no single customer or dealer balances representing over 5% of the total portfolio 
assets. The Company retains as collateral a security interest in the related equipment.

At the inception of each contract, the Company considers the credit risk based on a variety of credit quality factors 
including prior payment experience, customer financial information, credit-rating agency ratings, loan-to-value 
ratios and other internal metrics. On an ongoing basis, the Company monitors credit quality based on past due 
status and collection experience as there is a meaningful correlation between the past due status of customers and 
the risk of loss.

The Company has three credit quality indicators: performing, watch and at-risk. Performing accounts pay in 
accordance with the contractual terms and are not considered high-risk. Watch accounts include accounts 31 
to 90 days past due and large accounts that are performing but are considered to be high-risk. Watch accounts 
are not impaired. At-risk accounts are accounts that are impaired, including TDRs, accounts over 90 days past 
due and other accounts on non-accrual status. The tables below summarize the Company’s finance receivables 
by credit quality indicator and portfolio class.

There were $1.4 and $4.8 of finance receivables modified as TDRs during the previous twelve months that

Repossessions:  When the Company determines a customer is not likely to meet its contractual commitments, the 
Company repossesses the vehicles which serve as collateral for the loans, finance leases and equipment under 
operating leases. The Company records the vehicles as used truck inventory included in Financial Services Other 
assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balance of repossessed inventory at December 31, 2017 and 2016 
was $13.1 and $25.4, respectively. Proceeds from the sales of repossessed assets were $58.3, $51.7 and $48.0 for the 
years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These amounts are included in Proceeds from asset 
disposals in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Write-downs of repossessed equipment on operating leases 
are recorded as impairments and included in Financial Services Depreciation and other expenses on the 
Consolidated Statements of Income.

Interest paid on borrowings was $127.4, $108.2, and $101.3 in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the years 
ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company capitalized interest on borrowings of nil for all periods 
presented, in Truck, Parts and Other. 

The primary sources of borrowings in the capital markets are commercial paper and medium-term notes issued in 
the public markets, and to a lesser extent, bank loans. The medium-term notes are issued by PACCAR Financial 
Corp. (PFC), PACCAR Financial Europe and PACCAR Financial Mexico.

In November 2015, the Company’s U.S. finance subsidiary, PFC, filed a shelf registration under the Securities Act of 
1933. The total amount of medium-term notes outstanding for PFC as of December 31, 2017 was $4,450.0. The 
registration expires in November 2018 and does not limit the principal amount of debt securities that may be 
issued during that period. PFC intends to renew the registration in 2018. 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s European finance subsidiary, PACCAR Financial Europe, had €1,343.6 
available for issuance under a €2,500.0 medium-term note program listed on the Professional Securities Market of 
the London Stock Exchange. This program replaced an expiring program in the second quarter of 2017 and is 
renewable annually through the filing of new listing particulars.

In April 2016, PACCAR Financial Mexico registered a 10,000.0 peso medium-term note and commercial paper 
program with the Comision Nacional Bancaria y de Valores. The registration expires in April 2021 and limits the 
amount of commercial paper (up to one year) to 5,000.0 pesos. At December 31, 2017, 6,250.0 pesos remained 
available for issuance. 

The Company has line of credit arrangements of $3,520.0, of which $3,306.8 were unused at December 31, 2017. 
Included in these arrangements are $3,000.0 of syndicated bank facilities, of which $1,000.0 expires in June 2018, 
$1,000.0 expires in June 2021 and $1,000.0 expires in June 2022. The Company intends to replace these credit 
facilities on or before expiration with facilities of similar amounts and duration. These credit facilities are 
maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for commercial paper borrowings and maturing medium-term 
notes. There were no borrowings under the syndicated bank facilities for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company leases certain facilities and computer equipment under operating leases. Leases expire at various 
dates through the year 2026. At January 1, 2018, annual minimum rent payments under non-cancelable operating 
leases having initial or remaining terms in excess of one year are $23.0, $14.6, $10.3, $6.5, $4.4 and $2.6 thereafter. 
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, total rental expenses under all leases amounted to $30.1, 
$28.8 and $30.5, respectively.

At December 31, 2017, PACCAR had standby letters of credit and surety bonds totaling $26.3, from third party 
financial institutions, in the normal course of business, which guarantee various insurance, financing and other 
activities. At December 31, 2017, PACCAR’s financial services companies, in the normal course of business, had 
outstanding commitments to fund new loan and lease transactions amounting to $928.6. The commitments 
generally expire in 90 days. The Company had other commitments, primarily to purchase production inventory, 
equipment and energy amounting to $243.9, $71.6, $69.1, $62.3, $60.5 and nil for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 
beyond, respectively. 

The Company is involved in various stages of investigations and cleanup actions in different countries related to 
environmental matters. In certain of these matters, the Company has been designated as a “potentially responsible 
party” by domestic and foreign environmental agencies. The Company has an undiscounted accrual to provide for 
the estimated costs to investigate and complete cleanup actions where it is probable that the Company will incur 
such costs in the future. Expenditures related to environmental activities for the years ended December 31, 2017, 
2016 and 2015 were $1.9, $2.2 and $2.0, respectively. 

While the timing and amount of the ultimate costs associated with future environmental cleanup cannot be 
determined, management expects that these matters will not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated 
financial position.

In the first half of 2016, the Company recorded a charge of €752.7 ($833.0) in connection with an investigation by 
the European Commission (EC) of all major European truck manufacturers, including DAF Trucks N.V., its 
subsidiary DAF Trucks Deutschland GmbH (collectively, “DAF”) and the Company as their parent. On July 19, 
2016, the EC reached a settlement with DAF and the Company under which the EC imposed a fine of €752.7 
($833.0) for infringement of European Union competition rules. DAF paid the fine in August 2016. Following the 
EC settlement, claims and lawsuits have been filed against the Company, DAF and certain DAF subsidiaries and 
other truck manufacturers. Others may bring EC related claims and lawsuits against the Company or its

subsidiaries. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses, such claims and lawsuits will likely take a 
significant period of time to resolve, and it is not possible to estimate a range of potential loss. An adverse outcome 
of such proceedings could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

PACCAR is also a defendant in various other legal proceedings and, in addition, there are various other contingent 
liabilities arising in the normal course of business. After consultation with legal counsel, management does not 
anticipate that disposition of these various other proceedings and contingent liabilities will have a material effect on 
the consolidated financial statements.

Severance Costs:  The Company incurred severance expense in 2017, 2016 and 2015 of $.8, $2.0 and $3.3, 
respectively.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans:  The Company has several defined benefit pension plans, which cover a majority of its 
employees. The Company evaluates its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and considers changes based upon 
market conditions and other factors. 

The expected return on plan assets is determined by using a market-related value of assets, which is calculated based 
on an average of the previous five years of asset gains and losses. 

Generally, accumulated unrecognized actuarial gains and losses are amortized using the 10% corridor approach. The 
corridor is defined as the greater of either 10% of the projected benefit obligation or the market-related value of plan 
assets. The amortization amount is the excess beyond the corridor divided by the average remaining estimated service 
life of participants on a straight-line basis.

The Company funds its pensions in accordance with applicable employee benefit and tax laws. The Company 
contributed $70.6 to its pension plans in 2017 and $185.7 in 2016. The Company expects to contribute in the range 
of $70.0 to $100.0 to its pension plans in 2018, of which $21.2 is estimated to satisfy minimum funding 
requirements. Annual benefits expected to be paid beginning January 1, 2018 are $84.4, $87.1, $94.0, $99.9, $106.2 
and for the five years thereafter, a total of $609.7.

Plan assets are invested in global equity and debt securities through professional investment managers with the 
objective to achieve targeted risk adjusted returns and maintain liquidity sufficient to fund current benefit payments. 
Typically, each defined benefit plan has an investment policy that includes a target for asset mix, including maximum 
and minimum ranges for allocation percentages by investment category. The actual allocation of assets may vary at 
times based upon rebalancing policies and other factors. The Company periodically assesses the target asset mix by 
evaluating external sources of information regarding the long-term historical return, volatilities and expected future 
returns for each investment category. In addition, the long-term rates of return assumptions for pension accounting 
are reviewed annually to ensure they are appropriate. Target asset mix and forecast long-term returns by asset 
category are considered in determining the assumed long-term rates of return, although historical returns realized 
are given some consideration.

The fair value of mutual funds, common stocks and U.S. treasuries is determined using the market approach and is 
based on the quoted prices in active markets. These securities are categorized as Level 1. The fair value of debt 
securities is determined using the market approach and is based on the quoted market prices of the securities or 
other observable inputs. These securities are categorized as Level 2. 

The fair value of commingled trust funds is determined using the market approach and is based on the unadjusted 
net asset value (NAV) per unit as determined by the sponsor of the fund based on the fair values of underlying 
investments. These assets are collective investment trusts, and substantially all of these investments have no 
redemption restrictions or unfunded commitments. Securities measured at NAV per unit as a practical expedient are 
not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

On January 1, 2017, the Company changed the method used to estimate service cost and interest cost components of 
pension expense from a single weighted-average method, which is a single discount rate determined at the pension 
plans measurement date, to an individual spot rate approach, which applies specific spot rates along the yield curve 
to the relevant projected cash flows. This approach is a more precise measurement of net periodic benefit costs and 
does not impact the benefit obligation. The Company considers this a change in estimate inseparable from a change 
in accounting principle and is being accounted for prospectively. This change lowered net pension expense by 
approximately $15.0 in 2017.

Multi-employer Plans:  The Company participates in multi-employer plans in the U.S. and Europe. These are 
typically under collective bargaining agreements and cover its union-represented employees. The Company’s 
participation in the following multi-employer plans for the years ended December 31 are as follows:

The Company contributions shown in the table above approximates the multi-employer pension expense for each 
of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Metal and Electrical Engineering Industry Pension Fund is a multi-employer union plan incorporating all DAF 
employees in the Netherlands and is covered by a collective bargaining agreement that will expire May 31, 2018. The 
Company’s contributions were less than 5% of the total contributions to the plan for the last two reporting periods 
ending December 2017. The plan is required by law (the Netherlands Pension Act) to have a coverage ratio in excess 
of 104.3%. Because the coverage ratio of the plan was 101.5% at December 31, 2017, a funding improvement plan 
effective through 2026 is in place. The funding improvement plan includes a reduction in pension benefits and delays 
in future benefit increases. 

The Western Metal Industry Pension Plan is located in the U.S. and is covered by a collective bargaining agreement that 
will expire on November 1, 2020. In accordance with the U.S. Pension Protection Act of 2006, the plan was certified as 
critical (red) status as of December 31, 2017, and a funding improvement plan was implemented requiring additional 
contributions through 2022 as long as the plan remains in critical status. Contributions by the Company were 7% and 
8% of the total contributions to the plan for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

Other plans are principally located in the U.S. For the last two reporting periods, none were under funding 
improvement plans and Company contributions to these plans are less than 5% of each plan’s total contributions. 

There were no significant changes for the multi-employer plans in the periods presented that affected comparability 
between periods.

Defined Contribution Plans:  The Company maintains several defined contribution benefit plans whereby it 
contributes designated amounts on behalf of participant employees. The largest plan is for U.S. salaried employees 
where the Company matches a percentage of employee contributions up to an annual limit. The match was 5% of 
eligible pay in 2017, 2016 and 2015. Other plans are located in Australia, Brasil, Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium 
and Germany. Expenses for these plans were $37.9, $34.1 and $36.1 in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company’s tax rate is based on income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the 
Company operates. Tax law requires certain items to be included in the Company’s tax returns at different times 
than the items reflected in the Company’s financial statements. As a result, the Company’s annual tax rate reflected 
in its financial statements is different than that reported in its tax returns. Some of these differences are permanent, 
such as expenses that are not deductible in the Company’s tax return, and some differences reverse over time, such 
as depreciation expense. These temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company 
establishes valuation allowances for its deferred tax assets if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than 
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted new federal income tax legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Tax 
Act”). The Act lowered the U.S. statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%, imposed a one-time transition tax on 
the Company’s foreign earnings, which previously had been deferred from U.S. income tax and created a modified 
territorial system. As a result, the Company recorded a provisional amount of $304.0 of deferred tax benefits, due to 
the re-measurement of net deferred tax liabilities at the new lower statutory tax rate. In addition, the Company 
recorded a provisional amount of $130.6 of tax expense on the Company’s foreign earnings, which previously had 
been deferred from U.S. income tax. These provisional amounts may change in 2018, as new information becomes 
available, as the Tax Act continues to be interpreted and as new technical guidance is issued. The Company will

finalize certain tax positions upon filing its 2017 U.S. income tax returns. The Company will then conclude whether 
the associated provisional amounts require further adjustment. Based on the Company’s current operations, the 
Company does not expect its future foreign earnings will be subject to significant U.S. federal income tax as a result 
of the new modified territorial system.

As noted above, as of December 31, 2017, the Company has provided a U.S. transition tax of $130.6 on all of the 
Company’s foreign earnings. Included in domestic taxable income for 2016 and 2015 are $180.4 and $249.7 of 
foreign earnings, respectively, which are not indefinitely reinvested, for which domestic taxes of $7.1 and $12.2, 
respectively, were provided to account for the difference between the domestic and foreign tax rate on those earnings.

At December 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $399.4, of which $271.3 related to 
foreign subsidiaries and $128.1 related to states in the U.S. The related deferred tax asset was $94.6, for which a 
$78.3 valuation allowance has been provided. The carryforward periods range from three years to indefinite, subject 
to certain limitations under applicable laws. The future tax benefits of net operating loss carryforwards are 
evaluated on a regular basis, including a review of historical and projected operating results.

The tax effects of temporary differences representing deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

The Company had $22.9, $17.3 and $19.1 of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $16.8, $13.9 and $9.9 would 
impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, as of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 

The Company recognized $.2, $1.9 and $1.9 of income related to interest in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 
Accrued interest expense and penalties were $1.1, $.9 and $2.8 as of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. 
Interest and penalties are classified as income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income. 

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that approximately $1.8 of unrecognized tax benefits, resulting 
primarily from intercompany transactions, will be resolved within the next twelve months from Competent 
Authority negotiations between tax authorities of two jurisdictions. The Company does not expect the net impact 
of these negotiations to be material to its effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2017, the United States Internal 
Revenue Service has completed examinations of the Company’s tax returns for all years through 2012, with the 
exception of 2009 which remains subject to examination. The Company’s tax returns for other major jurisdictions 
remain subject to examination for the years ranging from 2008 through 2017.

As part of its risk management strategy, the Company enters into derivative contracts to hedge against interest rate 
and foreign currency risk.

Interest-Rate Contracts:  The Company enters into various interest-rate contracts, including interest-rate swaps and 
cross currency interest-rate swaps. Interest-rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed for floating rate or floating for

fixed rate interest payments based on the contractual notional amounts in a single currency. Cross currency 
interest-rate swaps involve the exchange of notional amounts and interest payments in different currencies. The 
Company is exposed to interest-rate and exchange-rate risk caused by market volatility as a result of its borrowing 
activities. The objective of these contracts is to mitigate the fluctuations on earnings, cash flows and fair value of 
borrowings. Net amounts paid or received are reflected as adjustments to interest expense.

79

At December 31, 2017, the notional amount of the Company’s interest-rate contracts was $2,878.4. Notional 
maturities for all interest-rate contracts are $978.5 for 2018, $911.2 for 2019, $436.9 for 2020, $392.3 for 2021, 
$126.8 for 2022, and $32.7 thereafter. 

Foreign-Exchange Contracts:  The Company enters into foreign-exchange contracts to hedge certain anticipated 
transactions and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, particularly the Canadian dollar, the euro, 
the British pound, the Australian dollar, the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso. The objective is to reduce 
fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. At December 31, 
2017, the notional amount of the outstanding foreign-exchange contracts was $480.4. Foreign-exchange contracts 
mature within one year.

Cash Flow Hedges:  Substantially all of the Company’s interest-rate contracts and some foreign-exchange contracts 
have been designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are 
recorded in AOCI to the extent such hedges are considered effective. Amounts in AOCI are reclassified into net 
income in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The maximum length of time over 
which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is 9.6 years. For the periods ended 
December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized no gains or losses on the ineffective portion.

The amount of gain recorded in AOCI at December 31, 2017 that is estimated to be reclassified into earnings in the 
following 12 months if interest rates and exchange rates remain unchanged is approximately $3.7, net of taxes. The 
fixed interest earned on finance receivables will offset the amount recognized in interest expense, resulting in a 
stable interest margin consistent with the Company’s risk management strategy.

The amount of gains or losses reclassified out of AOCI into net income based on the probability that the original 
forecasted transactions would not occur was nil for the year ended December 31, 2017, a loss of $.3 for the year 
ended December 31, 2016 and nil for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Economic Hedges:  For other risk management purposes, the Company enters into derivative instruments that do 
not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments are used to mitigate the risk of market volatility 
arising from borrowings and foreign currency denominated transactions. Changes in the fair value of economic 
hedges are recorded in earnings in the period in which the change occurs.

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs to valuation techniques used to measure 
fair value are either observable or unobservable. These inputs have been categorized into the fair value hierarchy 
described below.

Level 1 – Valuations are based on quoted prices that the Company has the ability to obtain in actively traded 
markets for identical assets or liabilities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and 
regularly available in an active market or exchange traded market, valuation of these instruments does not 
require a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 – Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for 
identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which 
all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuations are based on model-based techniques for which some or all of the assumptions are 
obtained from indirect market information that is significant to the overall fair value measurement and which 
require a significant degree of management judgment.

There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the 
year ended December 31, 2017. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the 
reporting period.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to measure fair value for assets and liabilities subject to 
recurring fair value measurements.

Marketable Securities:  The Company’s marketable debt securities consist of municipal bonds, government 
obligations, investment-grade corporate obligations, commercial paper, asset-backed securities and term deposits. 
The fair value of U.S. government obligations is determined using the market approach and is based on quoted 
prices in active markets and are categorized as Level 1. 

The fair value of U.S. government agency obligations, non-U.S. government bonds, municipal bonds, corporate 
bonds, asset-backed securities, commercial paper and term deposits is determined using the market approach and is 
primarily based on matrix pricing as a practical expedient which does not rely exclusively on quoted prices for a 
specific security. Significant inputs used to determine fair value include interest rates, yield curves, credit rating of 
the security and other observable market information and are categorized as Level 2. 

Derivative Financial Instruments:  The Company’s derivative contracts consist of interest-rate swaps, cross currency 
swaps and foreign currency exchange contracts. These derivative contracts are traded over the counter and their fair 
value is determined using industry standard valuation models, which are based on the income approach (i.e., 
discounted cash flows). The significant observable inputs into the valuation models include interest rates, yield 
curves, currency exchange rates, credit default swap spreads and forward rates and are categorized as Level 2.

Fair Value Disclosure of Other Financial Instruments

For financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value, the Company uses the following methods and 
assumptions to determine the fair value. These instruments are categorized as Level 2, except cash which is 
categorized as Level 1 and fixed rate loans which are categorized as Level 3.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:  Carrying amounts approximate fair value.

Financial Services Net Receivables:  For floating-rate loans, wholesale financing, and operating lease and other trade 
receivables, carrying values approximate fair values. For fixed rate loans, fair values are estimated using the income

lease receivables and related allowance for credit losses have been excluded from the accompanying table.

Debt:  The carrying amounts of financial services commercial paper, variable rate bank loans and variable rate term 
notes approximate fair value. For fixed rate debt, fair values are estimated using the income approach by 
discounting cash flows to their present value based on current rates for comparable debt.

The Company’s estimate of fair value for fixed rate loans and debt that are not carried at fair value was as follows:

PACCAR has certain plans under which officers and key employees may be granted options to purchase shares of the 
Company’s authorized but unissued common stock under plans approved by stockholders. Non-employee directors 
and certain officers may be granted restricted shares of the Company’s common stock under plans approved by 
stockholders. Options outstanding under these plans were granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value 
of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Options expire no later than ten years from the grant date and 
generally vest after three years. Restricted stock awards generally vest over three years or earlier upon meeting certain 
age and service requirements. 

The Company recognizes compensation cost on these options and restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis 
over the requisite period the employee is required to render service less estimated forfeitures based on historical 
experience. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance under these 
plans is 46.7 million shares, and as of December 31, 2017, the maximum number of shares available for future grants 
was 14.0 million. 

The estimated fair value of each option award is determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton 
option pricing model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free interest rate is based on the 
U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility. The 
dividend yield is based on an estimated future dividend yield using projected net income for the next five years, 
implied dividends and Company stock price. The expected term is based on the period of time that options granted 
are expected to be outstanding based on historical experience.

PACCAR operates in three principal segments: Truck, Parts and Financial Services. The Company evaluates the 
performance of its Truck and Parts segments based on operating profits, which excludes investment income, other 
income and expense, the EC charge, and income taxes. The Financial Services segment’s performance is evaluated 
based on income before income taxes. Geographic revenues from external customers are presented based on the 
country of the customer. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those applied in the 
consolidated financial statements as described in Note A.

Truck and Parts:  The Truck segment includes the design and manufacture of high-quality, light-, medium- and 
heavy-duty commercial trucks and the Parts segment includes the distribution of aftermarket parts for trucks and 
related commercial vehicles, both of which are sold through the same network of independent dealers. These 
segments derive a large proportion of their revenues and operating profits from operations in North America and 
Europe. The Truck segment incurs substantial costs to design, manufacture and sell trucks to its customers. The sale 
of new trucks provides the Parts segment with the basis for parts sales that may continue over the life of the truck, 
but are generally concentrated in the first five years after truck delivery. To reflect the benefit the Parts segment 
receives from costs incurred by the Truck segment, certain expenses are allocated from the Truck segment to the 
Parts segment. The expenses allocated are based on a percentage of the average annual expenses for factory 
overhead, engineering, research and development and SG&A expenses for the preceding five years. The allocation is 
based on the ratio of the average parts direct margin dollars (net sales less material and labor costs) to the total 
truck and parts direct margin dollars for the previous five years. The Company believes such expenses have been 
allocated on a reasonable basis. Truck segment assets related to the indirect expense allocation are not allocated to 
the Parts segment. 

Financial Services:  The Financial Services segment derives its earnings primarily from financing or leasing of 
PACCAR products and services provided to truck customers and dealers. Revenues are primarily generated from 
operations in North America and Europe. 

Other:  Included in Other is the Company’s industrial winch manufacturing business. Also within this category are 
other sales, income and expense not attributable to a reportable segment, including the EC charge and a portion of 
corporate expenses. Intercompany interest income on cash advances to the financial services companies is included 
in Other and was nil, $.4 and $.5 for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The management of PACCAR Inc (the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal 
control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable 
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external 
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent 
limitations. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may 
become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and 
procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based 

on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control–Integrated 
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). 
Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over 
financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.

Ernst & Young LLP, the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm that audited the financial statements 
included in this Annual Report, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting. The attestation report is included on page 89.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of PACCAR Inc

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 
We have audited PACCAR Inc’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria 
established in Internal Control–Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 
Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, PACCAR Inc (the Company) 
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, 
based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 

(United States) (PCAOB), the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PACCAR Inc as of December 31, 2017 
and 2016, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes and our report dated 
February 21, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and 
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm 
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with 
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange

and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial 
reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk 

that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control 
based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. 
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting 
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable 
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made 
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the 
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect 
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that 
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the 
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Company expects to continue paying regular cash dividends, although there is no assurance as to future 
dividends because they are dependent upon future earnings, capital requirements and financial conditions.

Interest-Rate Risks - See Note O for a description of the Company’s hedging programs and exposure to interest rate 
fluctuations. The Company measures its interest-rate risk by estimating the amount by which the fair value of 
interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, would change assuming 
an immediate 100 basis point increase across the yield curve as shown in the following table:

Currency Risks - The Company enters into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge its exposure to exchange 
rate fluctuations of foreign currencies, particularly the Canadian dollar, the euro, the British pound, the Australian 
dollar, the Brazilian real and the Mexican peso (see Note O for additional information concerning these hedges). Based 
on the Company’s sensitivity analysis, the potential loss in fair value for such financial instruments from a 10% 
unfavorable change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be a loss of $55.7 related to contracts 
outstanding at December 31, 2017, compared to a loss of $31.5 at December 31, 2016. These amounts would be 
largely offset by changes in the values of the underlying hedged exposures.
