October 25, 2011, Bellevue, Washington PACCAR reported strong quarterly revenues and net income for the third quarter of 2011.  PACCARs third quarter revenues of $4.26 billion were the highest quarterly revenues in company history, said Mark Pigott, chairman and chief executive officer.  Increased truck deliveries, higher aftermarket sales and a growing financial services business worldwide contributed to increased profits.  Our customers in North America are benefiting from increased freight tonnage and higher fleet utilization which are driving the replacement of their aging fleets, resulting in increased demand for PACCAR products and services.  European truck registrations have improved versus 2010, but recent Eurozone economic uncertainties have resulted in lower industry truck orders.  I am very proud of our 23,000 employees who have delivered industry leading products and services to our customers worldwide.

PACCARs excellent balance sheet, including $2.73 billion in manufacturing cash and marketable securities, and operating cash flow of over $1.15 billion in 2011 have enabled ongoing investments which extend PACCARs geographic presence, enhance operating efficiency and support the development of innovative new products.  These investments will contribute to the companys long-term growth, said Pigott.  Suppliers performance has improved significantly as they have invested in capacity and production efficiency to meet increased market demand.

PACCAR earned $281.6 million ($.77 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2011, a 135% increase, compared to the $119.9 million ($.33 per diluted share) earned in the third quarter last year.  Third quarter net sales and financial services revenues were a record $4.26 billion compared to $2.54 billion in 2010.  Net sales and financial services revenues for the first nine months of 2011 were $11.50 billion compared to $7.24 billion in the prior year.  For the first nine months of 2011, PACCAR reported net income of $714.6 million ($1.95 per diluted share) more than double the $287.8 million ($.79 per diluted share) earned in the first nine months of 2010.
