PACCAR Inc reported its financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2024, revealing a decline in net sales and revenues compared to the previous year. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, total net sales and revenues were $7,703.8 million, down from $8,232.3 million in Q3 2023. For the nine months, revenues decreased to $24,201.1 million from $24,723.7 million in the same period last year. The Truck segment, which accounted for 73% of revenues in Q3 2024, saw a significant drop in sales, with truck revenues falling to $6,030.8 million from $6,640.0 million in Q3 2023.
Despite the revenue decline, PACCAR's profitability showed resilience. Net income for Q3 2024 was $972.1 million, down from $1,228.5 million in Q3 2023, while net income for the nine months increased to $3,290.0 million from $3,183.5 million in the same period last year. Earnings per share for Q3 2024 were $1.85, compared to $2.35 in Q3 2023, but increased to $6.26 for the nine months, up from $6.08.
The Financial Services segment reported a revenue increase, with Q3 revenues rising to $536.1 million from $464.1 million in Q3 2023, driven by higher interest income from portfolio growth. However, income before income taxes for this segment decreased to $106.5 million in Q3 2024 from $133.8 million in Q3 2023.
PACCAR's strategic developments included the opening of a new 240,000 square-foot Parts Distribution Center in Massbach, Germany, aimed at enhancing parts delivery capabilities. The company also plans to invest between $600 million and $900 million in its battery joint venture, Amplify Cell Technologies, over the next few years.
In terms of financial health, PACCAR's total assets increased to $43.3 billion as of September 30, 2024, up from $40.8 billion at the end of 2023. The company maintained a strong liquidity position with cash and cash equivalents of $6.85 billion, despite a decrease from $7.18 billion at the end of 2023. The company also reported a significant increase in retained earnings, which rose to $18.61 billion from $15.78 billion at the end of 2023.
Overall, while PACCAR faced challenges in revenue generation, particularly in the Truck segment, it demonstrated solid profitability and continued investment in strategic initiatives.
