PACCAR Forms Battery Joint Venture
PACCAR, Cummins, Daimler Truck and EVE Energy are partnering to create state of the art commercial vehicle battery cell production in the United States. The joint venture partners expect growing demand for zero emissions vehicles throughout the decade. The planned battery factory will provide cost effective scale and industry leading battery cell technology, which will benefit commercial vehicle customers in North America. The total investment is expected to be in the range of $2-$3 billion for the 21-gigawatt hour (GWh) factory. “PACCAR is committed to producing electric batteries to benefit customers’ operational and environmental goals,” said John Rich, PACCAR vice president and chief technology officer.

The LFP battery cells produced by the joint venture will offer several advantages including lower cost, longer life, enhanced safety and excellent performance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION |
RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES |
This earnings release includes “adjusted net income (non-GAAP)” and “adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP)”, which are financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), since they exclude a charge for EC-related claims. These measures differ from the most directly comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
Adjustment for the EC-related claims relates to a pre-tax charge of $600.0 million ($446.4 million after-tax) for estimable total costs recorded in Interest and other expenses (income), net in the first quarter 2023.
Management utilizes these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company’s performance and believes these measures allow investors and management to evaluate operating trends by excluding a significant non-recurring charge that is not representative of underlying operating trends.
Reconciliations from the most directly comparable GAAP measures to adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and adjusted net income per diluted share (non-GAAP) are as follows:
