PACCAR Financial Corp.

(Millions of Dollars)

PART I

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

GENERAL

PACCAR Financial Corp.

PACCAR Financial Corp. (the “Company”), a Washington corporation, was incorporated in 1961 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR Inc (“PACCAR”) to finance the sale of PACCAR products. In 2000, PACCAR transferred the stock of the Company to PACCAR Financial Services Corporation (“PFSC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR. In December 2011, PFSC was dissolved by means of a statutory merger with and into PACCAR Financial Corp. The merger was accounted for using the pooling of interest method because the Company and PFSC were under common control of PACCAR Inc. See Note A for further discussion.

The Company principally provides financing and leasing of PACCAR manufactured trucks and other transportation equipment sold through Kenworth’s and Peterbilt’s independent dealer network in the United States. The Company also finances dealer inventories of new and used transportation equipment. The Company’s PacLease division franchises Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships to engage in full-service and finance leasing. In selected markets, PacLease directly engages in full-service leasing with its customers through Company-owned stores and on a limited basis through Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships.

PACCAR

PACCAR has two principal industry segments: (1) design, manufacture and distribution of high-quality, light-, medium- and heavy-duty commercial trucks and related aftermarket parts and (2) finance and leasing services provided to customers and dealers. Light and medium-duty trucks have a gross vehicle weight (GVW) ranging from 16,000 to 33,000 lbs (Class 5 to 7) in North America and 6 to 15 metric tonnes in Europe. Heavy duty trucks have a GVW of over 33,000 lbs (Class 8) in North America and over 15 metric tonnes in Europe. PACCAR’s finance and leasing activities are principally related to PACCAR trucks and associated equipment. Other manufactured products include industrial winches.

PACCAR and its subsidiaries design and manufacture heavy-duty diesel trucks which are marketed under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF nameplates. These trucks, which are built in three plants in the United States, three in Europe and one each in Australia, Canada and Mexico, are used world-wide for over-the-road and off-highway hauling of freight, petroleum, wood products, construction and other materials. PACCAR competes in the North American Class 5 to 7 markets primarily with Kenworth and Peterbilt conventional models. These trucks are assembled at facilities in Ste. Therese, Canada and in Mexicali, Mexico, which are operated by PACCAR’s wholly-owned subsidiaries located in those countries. PACCAR competes in the European light/medium market with DAF cab-over-engine trucks assembled in the United Kingdom by Leyland, one of PACCAR’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. PACCAR has acquired land and has begun construction of a new DAF assembly plant in Ponta Grossa, Brasil. PACCAR expects to begin manufacturing DAF vehicles for sale in Brasil and other South American markets in 2013. Commercial trucks and related aftermarket parts comprise the largest segment of PACCAR’s business, accounting for 93.7% of total 2011 net sales and revenues.

Substantially all trucks and related aftermarket parts are sold to independent dealers. The Kenworth and Peterbilt nameplates are marketed and distributed by separate divisions in the U.S. and a foreign subsidiary in Canada. The Kenworth nameplate is also marketed and distributed by foreign subsidiaries in Mexico and Australia. The DAF nameplate is marketed and distributed by a foreign subsidiary headquartered in The Netherlands. The decision to operate as a subsidiary or as a division is incidental to PACCAR’s Truck Segment operations and reflects legal, tax and regulatory requirements in the various countries where PACCAR operates.

Aftermarket truck parts are sold and delivered to Kenworth’s and Peterbilt’s independent dealers through PACCAR’s parts distribution network. Parts are both manufactured by PACCAR and purchased from various suppliers. Aftermarket parts inventory levels are determined largely by anticipated customer demand and the need for timely delivery. As a percentage of total consolidated net sales and revenues, parts sales were 15.8% in 2011, 21.3% in 2010 and 23.4% in 2009.

There were four other principal competitors in the U.S. and Canada commercial truck market in 2011. PACCAR’s share of the U.S. and Canadian class 8 market was a record 28.1% of retail sales in 2011. In Europe there were six other principal competitors in the commercial truck market in 2011, including parent companies to two competitors of PACCAR in the United States. In 2011, DAF had a record 15.5% share of the Western and Central European heavy-duty market and a 8.9% share of the light/medium market. These markets are highly competitive in price, quality and service, and PACCAR is not dependent on any single customer for its sales. There are no significant seasonal variations in sales.

In addition to the Company, which provides financing, leasing and full-service truck leasing in the United States, PACCAR offers similar financing programs for PACCAR products through other wholly-owned finance subsidiaries in Mexico, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Continental Europe. PACCAR also conducts full-service leasing operations through wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada, Mexico and Germany.

PACCAR’s common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol PCAR. PACCAR and the Company are subject to the informational requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, in accordance therewith, file reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). All reports, proxy statements and other information filed by PACCAR and the Company with the Commission may be inspected and copied at the public reference facility maintained by the Commission at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549 or through the Commission’s internet site at www.sec.gov.

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

The Company operates primarily in the industry segment of finance and leasing services provided to customers and dealers in the United States for new Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks, used trucks, truck trailers and allied equipment. The Company’s PacLease division franchises Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships to engage in full-service and finance leasing. In selected markets, PacLease directly engages in full-service leasing with its customers through Company-owned stores and on a limited basis through Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships.

The Company conducts business with most Kenworth and Peterbilt dealers in the United States. The volume of the Company’s business is significantly affected by PACCAR’s sales of trucks to its dealers and competition from other financing sources.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company employed 406 full-time employees, none of whom are represented by a collective bargaining agent.

THE COMPANY’S PRODUCTS

The Company offers the following products to retail customers:

Retail Contracts and Loans The Company purchases contracts from dealers and receives assignments of the contracts and a first lien security interest in the vehicles financed (“Retail Contracts”). Certain Retail Contracts with third party leasing companies may also include an assignment to the Company of the related lease and rental payments due. Retail Contracts purchased by the Company have fixed or floating interest rates.

The Company also makes loans to the end users of the vehicles financed that are secured by a first lien security interest in the vehicles (“Loans”). Loans have fixed or floating interest rates.

Direct Financing Leases The Company offers direct financing lease contracts where it is treated as the owner of the equipment for tax purposes and generally retains the tax depreciation (“Direct Financing Leases”). The lessee is responsible for the payment of property and sales taxes, licenses, maintenance and other operating costs. The lessee is obligated to maintain the equipment and to insure the equipment against physical damage and liability losses.

Most of the Company’s Direct Financing Leases contain a Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause, which requires the lessee to guarantee to the Company a stated residual value upon disposition of the equipment at the end of the direct financing lease term.

Operating Leases The Company offers operating lease contracts (“Operating Leases”) where the Company owns the equipment. The lessee is responsible for the payment of property and sales taxes, licenses, maintenance and other operating costs. The lessee is obligated to maintain the equipment and to insure the equipment against casualty and liability losses.

At the end of the operating lease term, the lessee has the option to return the equipment to the Company or purchase the equipment at its fair market value.

Insurance The Company’s PacLease business offers physical damage and liability insurance on new and used trucks and trailers to its full-service lease customers. To limit its exposure the Company has acquired insurance coverage for losses above specified levels from a third party insurance carrier.

The Company offers the following products to Kenworth and Peterbilt dealers and PacLease franchisees:

Master Notes Master note contracts (“Master Notes”) are offered to select dealers for new and used trucks. Retail installment contracts originated by the dealer for new or used trucks which meet the Company’s requirement as to form, terms and creditworthiness for Retail Contracts are pledged to the Company as collateral for direct, full recourse loans by the Company to the dealer. Master Notes have fixed or floating interest rates.

Wholesale Contracts The Company provides wholesale financing for new and used truck inventories for dealers (“Wholesale Contracts”). Wholesale Contracts are secured by the inventories financed. The amount of credit extended by the Company for each truck is generally limited to the invoice price of new equipment and to the wholesale value of used equipment. Wholesale Contracts have floating interest rates.

Dealer Loans The Company makes secured loans to selected Peterbilt and Kenworth dealers (“Dealer Loans”). The purpose of these loans includes the financing of real estate, fixed assets, working capital and dealership acquisitions. Dealer Loans have fixed or floating interest rates.

Full-Service Leasing The Company also conducts full-service leasing operations under the PacLease trade name. Selected dealers are franchised to provide full-service leasing, which includes the equipment, maintenance, parts, taxes and licenses all in a combined contract with the customer. The Company provides the franchisees with equipment financing and managerial support. The Company also operates full-service lease outlets in selected markets on its own behalf.

Insurance The Company charges a fee to provide insurance coverage, through an unrelated regulated insurance carrier, on new trucks and used trucks inventory to dealers having Wholesale Contracts with the Company.

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION, PAST-DUE ACCOUNTS AND LOSS EXPERIENCE

Customer Concentration

The Company’s customers are concentrated in the transportation industry throughout the United States. The Company does not have contractual arrangements with any one party (customers, dealers and/or franchises) that account for 10% or more of Finance and Lease Receivables asset balances for the periods ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

The Company had contractual arrangements with one customer, Swift Transportation Corporation, that accounted for 11.6%, 11.4% and 11.8% of total Interest and Other Revenue for the periods ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Past-Due Receivables and Allowance for Losses

An account is considered past-due by the Company if any portion of an installment is due and unpaid for more than 30 days. In periods of adverse economic conditions, past-due levels, repossessions and credit losses generally increase.

The provision for losses on finance and other receivables is charged to income based on management’s estimate of incurred credit losses, net of recoveries, inherent in the portfolio. Receivables are charged off to the allowance for losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered uncollectible (generally upon repossession of the collateral).

For further discussion of the allowance for losses, see Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

COMPETITION AND ECONOMIC FACTORS

The commercial truck and trailer finance and leasing business is highly competitive among banks, commercial finance companies, captive finance companies and leasing companies. Some of these institutions have substantially greater financial resources than the Company and may borrow funds at lower rates.

The dealers are the primary source of contracts acquired by the Company. However, dealers are not required to obtain financing from the Company and they have a variety of other sources that may be used for wholesale and customer financing of trucks. Retail purchasers also have a variety of sources available to finance truck purchases.

The ability of the Company to compete in its market is principally based on the rates, terms and conditions that the Company offers dealers and retail purchasers, as well as the specialized services it provides. Rates, terms and conditions are based on the Company’s desire to provide flexible financing and services to satisfy dealer and customer needs, the ability of the Company to borrow funds at competitive rates and the Company’s need to earn an adequate return on its invested capital. The Company’s business is also affected by changes in market interest rates and used truck values, which in turn are related to general economic conditions, demand for credit, inflation and governmental policies. Seasonality is not a significant factor in the Company’s business.

The volume of receivables available to be acquired by the Company from dealers is largely dependent upon the number of Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks sold in the United States. Sales of medium- and heavy-duty trucks depend on the capital equipment requirements of the transportation industry, which in turn are influenced by growth and cyclical variations in the economy. Medium- and heavy-duty truck sales are also sensitive to economic factors such as fuel costs, interest rates, insurance premiums, federal excise and highway use taxes, taxation on the acquisition and use of capital goods, as well as government regulations.

REGULATION AND SIMILAR MATTERS

In certain states, the Company is subject to retail installment sales or installment loan statutes and related regulations, the terms of which vary from state to state. These laws may require the Company to be licensed as a sales finance company and may regulate disclosure of finance charges and other terms of retail installment contracts. The Company is subject to substantive state franchise regulations and federal and state uniform franchise disclosure laws in connection with the offering of PacLease full-service truck leasing and rental franchises to Kenworth and Peterbilt truck dealers. The Company also owns and operates several truck leasing and rental business locations, which are subject to applicable state licensing laws. The Company is also subject to certain provisions of federal law relating to non-discrimination in the granting of credit.

SOURCES OF FUNDS

The Company’s primary sources of funds are commercial paper and medium-term note borrowings in the public capital markets, collections on loans and leases, retained earnings and to a lesser extent borrowings from PACCAR, bank loans and capital contributions. The Company’s investment in additional receivables is dependent upon its ability to raise funds at competitive rates in the public and private debt markets. The receivables and leases that are financed are either fixed rate or floating rate with terms that generally range from 36 to 60 months.

To reduce the risk of changes in interest rates that could affect interest margins, the Company obtains funds with interest rate characteristics similar to the corresponding assets. Fixed rate assets are primarily funded with fixed and floating rate medium-term notes and commercial paper. Interest rate swaps are combined with commercial paper or floating rate medium-term notes to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt to achieve the Company’s match funding objectives. Floating rate assets are funded primarily with commercial paper with maturities of three months or less and floating rate medium-term notes.

As of December 31, 2011, the total notional principal amount of interest rate swap contracts outstanding was $1,182.0, all of which effectively resulted in a net fixed rate payment obligation. These swap contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

A portion of the Company’s fixed-rate term notes has been converted to variable-rate term notes using fair value hedges for interest rate risk. Fair value is determined using modeling techniques that include market inputs for interest rates. As of December 31, 2011, the total notional principal amount of fair value swap contracts outstanding was $75.0, all of which result in a net floating rate payment obligation.

The notional amounts are used to measure the volume of these contracts and do not represent exposure to credit loss. The permitted types of interest rate swap contracts, counterparties’ transaction limits and related approval authorizations have been established by the Company’s senior management and Board of Directors. The interest rate contracts outstanding are regularly reported to, and reviewed by, the Company’s senior management.

PACCAR Financial Corp.

(Millions of Dollars)

 

The Company participated with PACCAR and certain other PACCAR affiliates in syndicated credit facilities of $3,000 at December 31, 2011. Of this amount, $1,000 expires in June 2012, $1,000 expires in 2013 and $1,000 expires in 2016. PACCAR and the Company intend to replace these credit facilities as they expire with facilities of similar amounts. Credit facilities of $2,110 are available for use by the Company and/or PACCAR and certain other PACCAR affiliates. The remaining $890 is allocated to the following subsidiaries: $310 is available for use by PACCAR’s Canadian financial subsidiary, $210 is available for use by PACCAR’s United Kingdom financial subsidiary, $200 is available for use by PACCAR's Mexican financial subsidiaries and $170 is available for use by PACCAR’s Australian financial subsidiary. These credit facilities are used to provide backup liquidity for the Company’s commercial paper and maturing medium-term notes. The Company is liable only for its own borrowings under these credit facilities. There were no borrowings under these credit facilities in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had medium-term notes outstanding with a notional value of $1,350.0 under a shelf registration statement, of which $250.0 are due within 12 months. See “Note F – Borrowings” in the Notes to the Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s medium-term notes.

An indenture of the Company dated November 20, 2009 (Exhibit 4.1(a)) with respect to the Company’s medium-term notes, which are publicly issued from time to time, contains restrictions limiting secured debt which may be incurred by the Company and any subsidiary.

RELATIONSHIP WITH PACCAR AND AFFILIATES

General

The operations of the Company are fundamentally affected by its relationship with PACCAR. Sales of PACCAR products are the Company’s principal source of its financing business. The Company receives administrative support from and pays dividends to its parent company and periodically borrows funds from or lends money to PACCAR and/or its affiliates. The Company’s principal office is located in the corporate headquarters building of PACCAR (owned by PACCAR). The Company also leases office space from one facility owned by PACCAR and five facilities leased by PACCAR. Since the directors of the Company are all executives of PACCAR and PACCAR is the sole owner of the Company’s outstanding voting common stock, PACCAR can determine the course of the Company’s business.

Periodically, the Company makes loans to, borrows from and has intercompany transactions with PACCAR. The Company had $415.0 and $395.0 outstanding in loans due to PACCAR as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company had $170.1 and $195.2 outstanding in loans due from PACCAR as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company periodically loans funds to certain foreign finance and leasing affiliates of PACCAR. The Company had $219.6 and $197.6 outstanding in loans due from foreign finance and leasing affiliates of PACCAR as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These various affiliates have Support Agreements with PACCAR, similar to the Company’s Support Agreement with PACCAR described below. The foreign affiliates operate in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Mexico, Canada and Australia, and any resulting currency exposure is fully hedged. The foreign affiliates primarily provide financing and leasing of PACCAR-manufactured trucks and related equipment sold through DAF’s, Kenworth’s and Peterbilt’s independent dealer networks in Europe, Mexico, Canada and Australia. The Company will not make loans to the foreign affiliates in excess of the equivalent of $500.0 United States dollars, unless the amount in excess of such limit is guaranteed by PACCAR. The Company periodically reviews the funding alternatives for these affiliates, and these limits may be revised in the future.

PACCAR charges the Company for certain administrative services it provides. These costs were charged to the Company based upon the Company’s specific use of the services and PACCAR’s cost. Management considers these charges reasonable and similar to the costs that would be incurred if the Company were on a stand-alone basis. See “Note D – Transactions with PACCAR and Affiliates” in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Support Agreement

The Company and PACCAR are parties to a Support Agreement that obligates PACCAR to provide, when required, financial assistance to the Company to assure that the Company maintains a ratio of net earnings available for fixed charges to fixed charges (as defined in the Support Agreement) of at least 1.25 to 1 for any fiscal year. The Support Agreement also requires PACCAR to own, directly or indirectly, all outstanding voting stock of the Company. The required ratio was met for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 without assistance. See “Note D – Transactions with PACCAR and Affiliates” in the Notes to Financial Statements.

The Company and PACCAR may amend or terminate any or all of the provisions of the Support Agreement upon 30 days notice, with copies of the notice being sent to all nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”) which have issued ratings with respect to debt of the Company (“Rated Debt”). Such amendment or termination will be effective only if (i) two NRSROs confirm in writing that their ratings with respect to any Rated Debt would remain the same after such amendment or termination, or (ii) the notice of amendment or termination provides that the Support Agreement will continue in effect with respect to Rated Debt outstanding on the effective date of such amendment or termination unless such debt has been paid or defeased pursuant to the indenture or other agreement applicable to such debt, or (iii) the holders of at least two-thirds of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Rated Debt with an original maturity in excess of 270 days consent in writing to such amendment or termination, provided that the holders of Rated Debt having an original maturity of 270 days or less shall continue to have the benefits of the Support Agreement until the maturity of such debt.

The Support Agreement expressly states that PACCAR’s commitments to the Company thereunder do not constitute a PACCAR guarantee of payment of any indebtedness or liability of the Company to others and do not create rights against PACCAR in favor of persons other than the Company. There are no guarantees, direct or indirect, by PACCAR of payment of any indebtedness of the Company.

OTHER DISCLOSURES

The Company’s filings on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K and any amendments to those reports can be obtained through a link on the Company’s website, www.paccarfinancial.com, or PACCAR Inc’s website, www.paccar.com, free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after the report is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Commission. The information on the websites is not incorporated by reference into this report.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company is exposed to certain risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact to the Company’s financial condition and operating results, including:

Sales of PACCAR Products

The Company’s business is substantially dependent upon the sale of PACCAR products and its ability to offer competitive financing in the United States. Changes in the volume of sales of PACCAR products due to a variety of reasons could impact the level of business of the Company. Refer to the “Relationship with PACCAR and Affiliates” section in “Item 1 – Business” and “Note D – Transactions with PACCAR and Affiliates” in the Notes to the Financial Statements for further discussion regarding the Company’s relationship with PACCAR.

Liquidity Risks, Credit Ratings and Costs of Funds

Disruptions or volatility in U.S. financial markets could limit the Company’s sources of liquidity, or the liquidity of customers and dealers. A lowering of the Company’s credit ratings could increase the cost of borrowing and adversely affect access to capital markets. The Company obtains funds for its operations from commercial paper and medium-term note debt. If the markets for commercial paper and medium-term notes do not provide the necessary liquidity in the future, the Company may experience increased costs or may have to limit its financing of retail and wholesale assets.

Competitive Risk

The Company competes with banks, other commercial finance companies and financial services firms which may have lower costs of borrowing, higher leverage or market share goals that result in a willingness to offer lower interest rates, which may lead to decreased margins, lower market share or both. A decline in PACCAR’s truck unit sales and a decrease in truck residual values due to lower used truck pricing are also factors which may affect the Company.

Credit Risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of loss arising from the failure of a customer, dealer or counterparty to meet the terms of the loans, leases and derivative contracts with the Company. Although the financial assets of the Company are secured by underlying equipment collateral, in the event a customer cannot meet its obligations to the Company, there is a risk that the value of the underlying collateral will not be sufficient to recover the amounts owed to the Company, resulting in credit losses.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is subject to interest rate risks, because increases in interest rates can reduce demand for its products, increase borrowing costs and potentially reduce interest margins. The Company uses derivative contracts to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates.

Residual Value Risk

Residual value risk is the risk that the estimated residual value of leased assets established at lease origination, for the Company’s operating leases and certain direct financing leases, will not be recoverable when the leased asset is returned to the Company. When the market value of these leased assets at contract maturity or at early termination is less than its contractual residual value, the Company will be exposed to a greater risk of loss on the sales of the returned equipment. Refer to the Critical Accounting Policy on “Equipment on Operating Leases” in Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion regarding the Company’s exposure to residual value risk.

Accounting Estimates

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. Certain of these estimates, judgments and assumptions, such as residual values on operating leases, the allowance for credit losses and the provision for income taxes, are particularly sensitive. If actual results are different from estimates used by management, they may have a material impact on the financial statements.

Results of Operations

2011 Compared to 2010:

New Business Volume

New business volume in 2011 increased 89% from 2010 due to higher retail sales of PACCAR trucks in 2011 and higher finance market share. Equipment on operating lease new business volume in 2011 increased $305.5 from 2010. This increase was attributable to increased fleet business in 2011.

Net income

The Company’s net income was $68.0 in 2011 compared to $44.1 in 2010. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a higher operating lease margin of $21.2, a higher finance margin of $15.1 and a lower provision for credit losses of $14.6.

Revenue and Expenses

Interest and other revenue in 2011 increased $17.5 to $429.8 from $412.3 in 2010. The increase was due to higher operating lease and rental revenue, partially offset by declines in interest and fee income and lower used truck sales and other revenue.

Finance margin increased in 2011 compared to 2010 as summarized below:

Average finance receivables in 2011 increased as a result of new business volume exceeding collections. The reduction in average loan and direct finance lease yields in 2011 was due to lower market interest rates. The average yield in 2011 was 5.61%, down from 6.39% in 2010.

The increase in average debt balances in 2011 was due to an increase in the average asset portfolio of $178.2 resulting in higher funding requirements. Average borrowing rates in 2011 declined to 2.40% from 3.70% in 2010 primarily due to lower market interest rates.

Operating lease margin in 2011 increased compared to 2010 as summarized below:

Results on returned leased assets were higher in 2011 compared to 2010 due to stronger used truck values. Average operating lease assets increased due to a higher number of units on operating lease in 2011.

Used truck sales and other revenue and Cost of used truck sales and other expenses decreased in 2011 due to lower sales of used trucks acquired from PACCAR truck division customers as part of new truck sales packages.

The provision for losses on receivables in 2011 decreased to $2.5 from $17.1 in 2010 primarily due to improvements in the performance of the portfolio reflecting stronger freight demand.

The Company’s portfolio is concentrated with customers in the heavy and medium duty truck transportation industry. The portfolio is comprised of retail loans and leases, dealer wholesale financing and dealer master notes as follows:

     2011      2010

In 2011, charge offs, net of recoveries decreased $25.7 to $5.4 from $31.1 in 2010 due to improved economic conditions, higher used truck values and stronger underwriting practices, which resulted in fewer repossessions and a lower loss per repossession.

Retail loan and lease receivables past due over 30 days at December 31, 2011 was 1.32%, a decrease from 2.50% at December 31, 2010 and the lowest level since the second quarter of 2007. Included in the December 31, 2011 past-due percentage is 1.03% related to one large customer. Excluding that customer, the past due percentage would have been .29% at December 31, 2011, compared to .85% at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $18.2 of specific loss reserves for this large customer and other accounts considered at risk. The Company remains focused on minimizing past-due balances. The allowance for losses as a percentage of the total portfolio decreased to 1.61% at December 31, 2011 from 2.18% as of December 31, 2010, reflecting improved operating conditions and cash flows for its customers.

When the Company modifies a 30+ days past-due account, the customer is generally considered current under the revised contractual terms. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company modified $.2 of accounts that were 30+ days past-due that became current at the time of modification. Had these accounts not been modified and continued to not make payments, accounts 30+ days past-due of 1.32% at December 31, 2011 would have been 1.33%. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company modified $6.0 of accounts that were 30+ days past-due that became current at the time of modification. Had these accounts not been modified and continued to not make payments, accounts 30+ days past-due of 2.50% would have been 2.74%. Modifications of accounts in prior quarters that were more than 30 days past-due at the time of modification are included in past-dues as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 if they were not performing under the modified terms. The effect on the allowance for credit losses from such modifications was not significant at December 31, 2011 and 2010. See “Critical Accounting Policies”, “Note A – Significant Accounting Policies” and “Note B – Finance and Other Receivables” for additional discussion regarding the Allowance for Losses.

Retail loans, retail leases and dealer master notes increased to $1,840.2, $1,120.4 and $104.2, compared to $1,537.4, $958.4 and $70.4, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, due to new business volume exceeding collections.

Dealer wholesale financing balances increased to $576.5 at December 31, 2011 compared to $267.0 at December 31, 2010, as dealers increased new truck inventory to meet greater market demand.

The estimation methods and factors considered for determining the allowance during the periods included in this filing have been consistently applied and are discussed further under “Critical Accounting Policies”. There have been no significant changes in customer contract terms during the periods.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 39.5% for 2011, compared to 30.2% for 2010. The 2010 effective tax rate reflected a favorable effect from revaluation of net deferred tax liabilities due to a reduction in the estimated average state income tax rate in 2010.

New Business Volume

New business volume in 2010 increased 13% from 2009 due to higher retail sales of PACCAR trucks in 2010. Equipment on operating lease new business volume in 2010 decreased $163.9 from 2009. This decrease was attributable to decreased fleet business in 2010, as fewer large fleet customers entered into new lease agreements.

Net income

The Company’s net income was $44.1 in 2010 compared to $28.0 in 2009. The increase in net income was primarily the result of a lower provision for credit losses of $24.6 and higher operating lease margin of $8.6, partially offset by lower finance margin of $11.8 due to reduced receivable balances and higher selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.2.

Revenue and Expenses

Interest and other revenue in 2010 decreased $14.5 to $412.3 from $426.8 in 2009. The decrease was due to declines in interest and fee income, partially offset by higher operating lease and rental revenue and higher used truck sales and other revenue.

Finance margin decreased in 2010 primary due to lower interest and fee income, partially offset by lower interest and other borrowing costs. Interest and fee income declined due to lower average finance receivables and lower yields. Interest and other borrowing costs decreased primarily due to lower average debt balances and lower borrowing rates. Changes in finance margin are summarized as follows:

Retail loan and direct finance lease average earning assets declined as a result of collections exceeding new business volume. The reduction in average loan and direct finance lease yields in 2010 was due to lower market interest rates. The average yield in 2010 was 6.39%, down from 6.89% in 2009.

The decline in average debt balances of $387.2 was due to a reduction in the average asset portfolio of $493.2 resulting in lower funding requirements. Average borrowing rates in 2010 declined to 3.70% from 4.46% in 2009 primarily due to lower market interest rates.

Operating lease margin increased in 2010 primarily due to higher revenue attributable to higher average operating lease assets and reduced losses on returned lease assets. This was partially offset by higher depreciation expenses primarily due to higher average operating lease assets. Changes in operating lease margin are summarized as follows:

The provision for losses on receivables in 2010 decreased $24.6 from 2009 primarily due to improvements in the credit quality of the portfolio as well as a decline in the receivable balances.

The Company’s portfolio is concentrated with customers in the heavy and medium duty truck transportation industry. The portfolio is comprised of retail loans and leases, dealer wholesale financing and dealer master notes as follows:

In 2010, charge offs, net of recoveries decreased $22.5 to $31.1 from $53.6 in 2009 as a result of fewer repossessions and a lower loss per repossession, partially offset by a $8.7 charge off of a significant account considered to be uncollectible.

Retail loan and lease receivables past-due over 30 days was 2.50% at December 31, 2010, an increase from 1.93% at December 31, 2009. Included in the December 31, 2010 past-due percentage is 1.65% related to one large customer. Excluding that customer, the past-due percentage would have been .85% at December 31, 2010, compared to 1.93% at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $25.4 of specific loss reserves for this large customer and other accounts considered at risk. The Company continues to focus on reducing past-due balances. The allowance for losses as a percentage of the total portfolio decreased to 2.18% at December 31, 2010 from 2.43% as of December 31, 2009 reflecting improved operating conditions and cash flows for its customers.

Retail loans and dealer master notes decreased to $1,537.4 and $70.4, compared to $1,682.7 and $98.3, at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, due to collections exceeding new business volume.

Dealer wholesale financing balances decreased to $267.0 at December 31, 2010 compared to $275.7 at December 31, 2009, as dealers reduced new truck inventory balances.

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 30.2% for 2010, compared to 37.5% for 2009, reflecting a favorable effect from revaluation of net deferred tax liabilities due to a reduction in the estimated average state income tax rate in 2010.

Company Outlook

Average earning assets in 2012 are projected to grow due to new business financing from truck sales being greater than portfolio runoff. The Company’s customers are benefiting from increased freight tonnage, higher freight rates and fleet utilization that are contributing to improvements in customers’ profitability and cash flow. If current freight transportation conditions continue, past-due accounts, truck repossessions and net charge-offs in 2012 could be comparable to or improve slightly from 2011. See the Forward Looking Statement section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis for factors that may affect this outlook.

Funding and Liquidity

The Company’s debt ratings at December 31, 2011 are as follows:

 

     Standard         
     and Poor’s      Moody’s  

Commercial paper

     A-1         P-1   

Senior unsecured debt

     A+         A1   

Any 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.

The Company periodically registers debt securities under the Securities Act of 1933 for offering to the public. In November 2009, the Company filed a shelf registration statement to issue medium-term notes. The shelf registration statement expires in November 2012 and does not limit the principal amount of debt securities that may be issued during the period. The total notional amount of medium-term notes outstanding for the Company as of December 31, 2011 was $1,350.0.

PACCAR loaned the Company $20.0 during 2011 with an effective fixed interest rate of 2.99%, and $395.0 during 2009 with an effective fixed interest rate of 6.67%. Of the $415.0 in loans, $177.0 matured in February 2012, $20.0 matures in September 2012 and $218.0 matures in 2014.

The Company believes it will be able to fund receivables, service debt and meet its other payment obligations through internally generated funds, access to public and private debt markets, and advances from PACCAR.

The Company participated with PACCAR and certain other PACCAR affiliates in syndicated credit facilities of $3,000 at December 31, 2011. Of this amount, $1,000 expires in June 2012, $1,000 expires in 2013 and $1,000 expires in 2016. PACCAR and the Company intend to replace these credit facilities as they expire with facilities of similar amounts.

Credit facilities of $2,110 are available for use by the Company and/or PACCAR and certain other PACCAR affiliates. The remaining $890 is allocated to the following subsidiaries: $310 is available for use by PACCAR's Canadian financial subsidiary, $210 is available for use by PACCAR's United Kingdom financial subsidiary, $200 is available for use by PACCAR's Mexican financial subsidiaries and $170 is available for use by PACCAR’s Australian financial subsidiary.

These credit facilities are used to provide backup liquidity for the Company’s commercial paper and maturing medium-term notes. The Company is liable only for its own borrowings under these credit facilities. There were no borrowings under these credit facilities in the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company issues commercial paper for a portion of its funding. 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 the event of future 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 maturity of short-term borrowings paid to lenders compared to the timing of receivable collections from customers. The Company believes its cash balances and investments, syndicated bank lines, current investment-grade credit ratings of A+/A1 and its ability to borrow from PACCAR, if necessary, 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.

The following summarizes the Company's contractual cash commitments at December 31, 2011:

* Borrowings also include commercial paper.
** Includes interest on intercompany, fixed- and floating-rate term debt. Interest on floating-rate debt is based on the applicable market rates at December 31, 2011.

As described in “Note F – Borrowings” in the Notes to the Financial Statements, borrowings consist of medium-term notes and commercial paper. The Company has operating leases for office space, truck leasing facilities and office equipment.

In addition, the Company had loan and lease commitments of $274.1 expiring within one year. These commitments represent commitments to fund new retail loan and lease contracts.

Critical Accounting Policies:

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note A of the 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.

Operating Leases

The accounting for trucks sold pursuant to agreements accounted for as operating leases is discussed in Note C of the 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 50% of original equipment cost. If the sales price of the trucks at the end of the term of the agreement or early termination differs from the Company’s estimate, 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 2011, higher market values on trucks returning upon lease maturity and no impairments on existing operating leases resulted in no additional depreciation expense.

At December 31, 2011, the aggregate residual value of equipment on operating leases was $455.1. A 10% decrease in used truck values expected to persist over the remaining maturities of the Company’s operating leases would reduce residual value estimates and result in the Company recording approximately $11 of additional depreciation per year.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses related to the Company’s loans and finance leases is discussed in Note B of the financial statements. The Company determines the allowance for credit losses on retail and wholesale receivables based on historical loss information, using past-due account data, current market conditions and expectations about the future. The allowance for credit losses consists of both a specific reserve and a general reserve based on estimates, including assumptions regarding the likelihood of collecting current and past-due accounts, repossession rates and the recovery rate on the underlying collateral based on used truck values and other pledged collateral or recourse. The Company specifically evaluates large retail and wholesale accounts with past-due balances or that otherwise are deemed to be at a higher risk of credit loss. All other past-due customers and current accounts are evaluated as a group.

The Company has developed a range of specific loss estimates for each of its 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. The projected amount is then compared to the allowance for credit loss balance and an appropriate adjustment is made.

The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated quarterly based on the most recent information and expectations about the future. As accounts become past-due, the likelihood increases that they will not be fully collected. The Company’s experience indicates the probability of not fully collecting past-due accounts range between 20% and 80%. Over the past three years, the Company’s year-end 30+ days past-due accounts have ranged between 1.32% and 2.50% of year-end loan and lease receivables. Historically, a 100 basis point increase in the 30+ days past-due percentage has resulted in an increase in future credit losses of 10 to 35 basis points of average receivables. Past-dues were 1.32% at December 31, 2011. If past-dues were 100 basis points higher or 2.32% as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s estimate of future credit losses would likely have increased by approximately $1 to $8 depending on the extent of past-dues, the estimated value of the collateral as compared to amounts owed and general economic factors.

Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: national and local economic, political and industry conditions; changes in the levels of new business volume due to unit fluctuations in new PACCAR truck sales; changes in competitive factors; changes affecting the profitability of truck owners and operators; price changes impacting equipment costs and residual values; changes in costs and insufficient liquidity in the capital markets and availability of other funding sources; and legislation and governmental regulation.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risk and Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company issues various financial instruments that expose the Company to market risk associated with market interest rates. Policies and procedures have been established by the Company to manage these market risks through the use of various derivative financial instruments. The Company does not engage in derivatives trading, market-making or other speculative activities.

The following is a sensitivity analysis for the Company’s assets and liabilities that have interest rate risk. 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:

NOTE A – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Operations and Basis of Presentation: PACCAR Financial Corp. (the “Company”), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR Inc (“PACCAR”). The Company primarily provides financing of PACCAR-manufactured trucks and related equipment sold by authorized dealers. The Company also finances dealer inventories of transportation equipment and franchises Kenworth and Peterbilt dealerships to engage in full-service and finance leasing. The operations of the Company are fundamentally affected by its relationship with PACCAR. In 2000, PACCAR transferred the stock of the Company to PACCAR Financial Services Corporation (“PFSC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PACCAR. In December 2011, PFSC was dissolved by means of a statutory merger with and into PACCAR Financial Corp., making the Company a direct subsidiary of PACCAR Inc.

The merger was accounted for using the pooling of interest method because the Company and PFSC were under common control of PACCAR Inc. Under this method of accounting, the results and cash flows of the pre-merged Company and PFSC and their assets and liabilities are combined at the amounts at which they were previously recorded as if they had been part of the Company since the beginning of the periods shown. There was no material impact to the financial statements for all years presented.

Due to the nature of the Company’s business, customers are concentrated in the transportation industry throughout the United States. Generally, all receivables are collateralized by the equipment being financed. The risk of credit losses related to this concentration has been considered in establishing the allowance for losses.

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.

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 Kenworth and Peterbilt dealers for new and used trucks and are recorded at amortized cost. The loans are collateralized by the trucks being financed.

Interest and other – Interest and other receivables are interest on loans and leases and other amounts due within one year in the normal course of business.

Allowance for Losses:

The Company continuously monitors the payment performance of all its finance receivables. The Company evaluates its finance receivables collectively and, in some cases, individually. For large customers and dealers with wholesale financing, the Company regularly reviews their financial statements and makes site visits and phone contacts 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 may modify loans and finance leases for commercial reasons or for credit reasons for customers having difficulty making payments under the contract terms. When customer accounts are modified the Company thoroughly evaluates the creditworthiness of the customers and modifies accounts that the Company considers likely to perform under the modified terms. It is rare for the Company to grant credit modifications for customers that do not meet minimum underwriting standards since the Company normally repossesses the financed equipment in these circumstances. The Company’s credit modifications for customers that do not meet minimum underwriting standards are classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). On average, modifications extend contractual terms less than three months. Modifications did not have a significant effect on the weighted average term or interest rate of the portfolio. When granting modifications, the Company rarely forgives principal or interest or reduces interest rates.

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 includes retail loans and direct finance leases, net of unearned interest. The wholesale segment includes wholesale financing loans to dealers that are collateralized by the trucks being financed. The wholesale segment generally has less risk than the retail segment. Wholesale receivables are shorter in duration than retail receivables, and the Company requires monthly reporting of the wholesale dealer’s financial condition, conducts periodic audits of the trucks being financed and in many cases, obtains personal guarantees or other security such as dealership assets. The allowance for credit losses consists of both specific and general reserves.

The Company individually evaluates certain finance receivables for impairment. Finance receivables which are evaluated individually consist of customers on non-accrual status, all wholesale accounts, certain large retail accounts with past-due balances or that otherwise are determined to be at a higher risk of credit loss, and loans which have been modified as TDRs. A receivable is considered impaired if it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled. Large balance impaired receivables are individually evaluated to determine the appropriate reserve for losses. Small balance impaired receivables with similar risk characteristics are evaluated as a separate pool. Impaired receivables are considered collateral dependent. Accordingly, the evaluation of individual reserves is based on the fair value of the associated collateral (estimated sales proceeds less the costs to sell). When the underlying collateral fair value exceeds the Company’s loss exposure, no individual reserve is recorded. The Company uses a pricing model to assist in valuing the underlying collateral and categorizes the fair value as Level 2 in the hierarchy of fair value measurement. The pricing model is reviewed quarterly and updated as appropriate. The pricing model considers the make, model and year of the equipment as well as recent sales prices of comparable equipment. The fair value of the collateral is determined based on management’s evaluation of numerous factors such as the pricing model value, overall condition of the equipment, whether the Company will dispose of the equipment through wholesale or retail channels, as well as economic trends affecting used equipment values.

For retail finance receivables that are evaluated collectively, the Company determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical loss information, using general 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 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. The amount is then compared to the allowance for credit loss balance (after charge-offs for the current period) and an appropriate adjustment is made. In determining the general allowance for credit losses, 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 36 to 60 months and they are secured by the same type of collateral.

After determining the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses, the 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. Accounts are charged-off against the allowance for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered uncollectable (generally 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 partial charge-offs. The charge-off is determined by comparing the fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell, to the recorded investment.

Revenue Recognition: 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.

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, there were no finance receivables more than 90 days past due still accruing interest at December 31, 2011 or 2010. Recognition is resumed if the receivable becomes contractually 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 modified), or after the customer has made scheduled payments for three months and collection of remaining amounts is considered probable (if contractually modified). Payments received while the finance receivable is impaired or on non-accrual status are applied to interest and principal in accordance with the contractual terms.

The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of used trucks acquired from PACCAR truck division customers as part of new truck sales packages when invoiced and delivered to the customer.

Equipment on Operating Leases: Equipment on operating leases is recorded at cost and is depreciated on the straight-line basis to its estimated residual value. Residual values are reviewed regularly and adjusted if market conditions warrant.

Restricted Cash: Restricted cash consists of cash proceeds from the sale of eligible assets set aside for the acquisition of replacement assets under the Company’s like-kind exchange tax program. Restricted cash is classified within “Other Assets”. The changes in restricted cash balances are reflected as an investing activity in the Statement of Cash Flows as they relate to sales and purchases of revenue earning assets.

Derivative Financial Instruments: Derivative financial instruments are used to hedge exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. 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 inception of each hedge relationship, the Company documents its risk management objectives, procedures and accounting treatment.

The Company has elected not to offset derivative positions in the balance sheet with the same counterparty under master netting agreements. The Company is not required to post or receive collateral under these agreements. Exposure limits and minimum credit ratings are used to minimize the risks of counterparty default. The Company had no material exposures to default at December 31, 2011.

The Company uses regression analysis to assess effectiveness of interest-rate contracts on a quarterly basis. 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 currently in earnings. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company determines that a derivative financial instrument has ceased to be a highly effective hedge.

Income Taxes: The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of PACCAR. Income taxes for the Company are determined on a separate return basis, and any related tax liability is paid by the Company to PACCAR and any related tax benefit is paid by PACCAR to the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. ASU 2011-02 gives additional guidance to companies to assist in determining troubled debt restructurings. The Company adopted ASU 2011-02 in the third quarter of 2011; the implementation of this amendment resulted in additional disclosure (see Note B) but did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. While many of the amendments are clarifications to the existing guidance and are intended to align U.S. GAAP and IFRS, the ASU changes some fair value measurement principles and disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the impact of the ASU on its financial statements.

The FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, subsequently amended by ASU 2011-12 in December 2011. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2011. The new guidance requires entities to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in either a combined financial statement or in two separate but consecutive statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The Company is currently evaluating which method to adopt as required in 2012.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The ASU requires all entities with financial instruments and derivatives that are either offset on the balance sheet, or subject to a master netting arrangement, to provide expanded disclosures about the nature of the rights of offset. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will provide the expanded disclosures in 2013.

Impaired Loans

The Company’s impaired loans are segregated by portfolio class. A portfolio class of receivables is a subdivision of a portfolio segment with similar measurement attributes, risk characteristics and common methods to monitor and assess credit risk. The Company’s retail segment is subdivided into the fleet and owner/operator classes. Fleet consists of retail accounts with customers operating more than five trucks. All others are owner/operator.

Credit Quality

The Company's customers are principally concentrated in the transportation industry in the United States. 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 criteria, including prior payment experience, customer financial information, agency credit ratings, loan-to-value ratios and other internal metrics. On an ongoing basis, the Company monitors the credit exposure based on past-due status and collection experience as the Company has found 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 past-due and large high-risk accounts that 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 Company uses historical data and expectations about the future to estimate default rates for each credit quality indicator as of December 31, 2011.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company modifies loans and finance leases as a normal part of its operations. The Company’s modifications typically resulted in granting more time to pay the contractual amounts owed and charging a fee and additional interest for the modification. The Company rarely forgives principal or accrued interest and may require principal and accrued interest payments at the time of modification. When the Company modifies loans and finance leases for customers in financial difficulty and grants a concession, the modifications are classified as TDRs. For the year ended December 31, 2011, there was no change in the recorded investment for loans and leases modified as TDRs.

At modification date, the pre-and post-modification recorded investment balance was:

 

For the year ended December 31, 2011

   Fleet      Owner/
Operator
     Total  

Pre-and Post-Modification Recorded Investment

   $ 10.8       $ 2.1       $ 12.9   

The balance of TDRs was $11.4 and $2.1 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The recorded investment of finance receivables modified as TDRs during the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted (i.e., became more than 30 days past-due) in the year ended December 31, 2011 was nil for fleet and owner/operator. The TDRs that subsequently defaulted did not significantly impact the Company’s allowance for losses at December 31, 2011.

Repossessions

When the Company determines a customer is not likely to meet its contractual commitments, the Company repossesses vehicles which serve as collateral for loans, finance leases and equipment under operating lease. The Company records the repossessed vehicles as used truck inventory included in Other Assets on the Balance Sheets. The balance of repossessed inventory at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $1.0 and $1.0, respectively. Proceeds from the sales of repossessed assets were $16.9, $56.3, and $102.7 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These amounts are included in “Proceeds from disposal of equipment” on the Statements of Cash Flows.

Customer Concentration

The Company’s customers are concentrated in the transportation industry throughout the United States. The Company does not have contractual arrangements with any one party (customers, dealers and/or franchises) that account for 10% or more of Finance and Lease Receivables asset balances for the periods ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

The Company had contractual arrangements with one customer, Swift Transportation Corporation, that accounted for 11.6%, 11.4% and 11.8% of total Interest and Other Revenue for the periods ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Unamortized Loan Origination Costs

The unamortized loan origination costs at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $10.4 and $9.3, respectively. These amounts are included in “Other assets” on the Balance Sheets.

NOTE C – EQUIPMENT ON OPERATING LEASES

Terms of operating leases at origination and the related depreciation, generally range from three to seven years. The total future annual minimum rental payments to be received for equipment on non-cancelable operating leases beginning January 1, 2012 of $463.0 are due as follows: $174.0 in 2012; $131.0 in 2013; $97.1 in 2014; $45.6 in 2015 and $15.3 in 2016 and beyond. Depreciation expense related to equipment on operating leases was $147.1, $131.6, $121.4 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Substantially all equipment on operating leases is manufactured by PACCAR.

NOTE D – TRANSACTIONS WITH PACCAR AND AFFILIATES

The Company and PACCAR are parties to a Support Agreement that obligates PACCAR to provide, when required, financial assistance to the Company to ensure that the Company maintains a ratio of net earnings available for fixed charges to fixed charges (as defined in the Support Agreement) of at least 1.25 to 1 for any fiscal year. The required ratio for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was met without assistance. The Support Agreement also requires PACCAR to own, directly or indirectly, all outstanding voting stock of the Company.

Periodically, the Company makes loans to, borrows from and has intercompany transactions with PACCAR. In addition, the Company periodically loans funds to certain foreign finance and leasing affiliates of PACCAR. These various affiliates have Support Agreements with PACCAR, similar to the Company’s Support Agreement with PACCAR. The foreign affiliates operate in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Mexico, Canada and Australia, and any resulting currency exposure is fully hedged. The foreign affiliates primarily provide financing and leasing of PACCAR-manufactured trucks and related equipment sold through DAF’s, Kenworth’s and Peterbilt’s independent dealer networks in Europe, Mexico, Canada and Australia. The Company will not make loans to the foreign affiliates in excess of the equivalent of $500.0 United States dollars, unless the amount in excess of such limit is guaranteed by PACCAR. The Company periodically reviews the funding alternatives for these affiliates, and these limits may be revised in the future.

PACCAR loaned the Company $20.0 during 2011 with an effective fixed interest rate of 2.99%, and $395.0 during 2009 with an effective fixed interest rate of 6.67%. Of the $415.0 in loans, $177.0 matured in February 2012, $20.0 matures in September 2012 and $218.0 matures in 2014. The Company recognized interest expense on these borrowings of $26.9, $26.4 and $21.7 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash paid for interest on these borrowings was $26.4, $25.9 and $12.6 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Amounts outstanding at December 31, 2011 and 2010, including foreign finance affiliates operating in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Mexico, Canada and Australia, are summarized below:

PACCAR charges the Company for certain administrative services it provides. These costs were charged to the Company based upon the Company's specific use of the services and PACCAR's cost. Management considers these charges reasonable and similar to the costs that would be incurred if the Company were on a stand-alone basis. Fees for services of $1.9, $.9 and $5.0 in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were charged to the Company. The Company records the investment as additional paid-in capital.

Dividends in the amount of $117.0 and $90.0 were declared and paid to PACCAR in 2011 and 2009, respectively. No dividends were declared in 2010.

The Company’s principal office is located in the corporate headquarters building of PACCAR (owned by PACCAR). The Company also leases office space from one facility owned by PACCAR and five facilities leased by PACCAR.

The Company’s employees and PACCAR employees are covered by a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by PACCAR. The assets and liabilities of the plan are reflected in the financial statements of PACCAR. PACCAR contributes to the plan and allocates the expenses to the Company based principally on the number of eligible plan participants. Expenses for the defined benefit pension plan were $1.9, $1.5 and $1.5 for years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Company employees and PACCAR employees are also covered by a defined contribution plan, sponsored by PACCAR. Expenses incurred by the Company for the defined contribution plan were $1.0, $.5 and $.4 for years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE E – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Interest rate contracts 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. The Company is exposed to interest 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 the fair value of borrowings. Net amounts paid or received are reflected as adjustments to interest expense. The notional amount is used to measure the volume of these contracts and does not represent exposure to credit loss. In the event of default by the counterparty, the risk in these transactions is the fair value of replacing the interest rate contract at current market rates.

At December 31, 2011, the notional amount of these contracts totaled $1,257.0 with amounts expiring over the next six years. Notional maturities for all interest rate contracts are $204.0 for 2012, $456.5 for 2013, $404.5 for 2014, $150.0 for 2015 and $22.0 for 2016 and $20.0 for 2017. The majority of these contracts are floating to fixed swaps that effectively convert an equivalent amount of commercial paper and other variable rate debt to fixed rates.

The following table presents the balance sheet locations and fair value of derivative financial instruments:

Cash Flow Hedges

Substantially all of the Company’s interest rate contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. The Company uses regression analysis to assess the effectiveness of hedges. The change in variable cash flow method or the hypothetical derivative method is used to measure ineffectiveness of interest rate contracts designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent such hedges are considered effective. Gains or losses on the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are recognized currently in earnings and were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. The maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is 6.5 years.

Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified into net income in the same period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Net realized gains and losses from interest rate contracts are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. Of the $7.9, net of tax, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2011, $4.8, net of tax, is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the following 12 months. 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 interest rate risk management strategy.

The following table presents the pre-tax effects of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges recognized into accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and into the Statements of Income.

NOTE I – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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. The hierarchy of fair value measurements is 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. The Company has no financial instruments valued under Level 1 criteria.

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. The Company has no financial instruments valued under Level 3 criteria.

Derivative contracts are measured on a recurring basis. Impaired loans and used trucks held for sale are measured on a non-recurring basis. These assets and liabilities are outlined in the table below:

 

Level 2

   December 31
2011
     December 31
2010
 

Assets:

     

Impaired loans

   $ 13.7       $ 19.2   

Used trucks held for sale

        2.3   

Derivative contracts

        2.1   

Liabilities:

     

Derivative contracts

   $ 13.0       $ 17.8   

Impaired Loans: Impaired loans are considered collateral dependent. Accordingly, the evaluation of individual reserves is based on the fair value of the associated collateral (estimated sales proceeds less the costs to sell). The valuation of the collateral is described below in used trucks held for sale.

Used Trucks Held for Sale: The carrying amount of used trucks held for sale is written down as necessary to reflect their fair value less costs to sell. The Company determines the fair value of used trucks from a pricing model, which is based on the market approach. The significant observable inputs into the valuation model are recent sales prices of comparable units, the condition of the vehicles and the number of similar units to be sold. These assets, which are shown in the above table only when they are carried at fair value, are categorized as Level 2 and are included in “Other assets” on the Balance Sheets.

 

44


Table of Contents

PACCAR Financial Corp.

(Millions of Dollars)

 

Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate contracts and are carried at fair value. These derivative contracts are over the counter and their fair value is determined using industry standard valuation models, which are based on the income approach. The significant inputs into the valuation models include market inputs such as interest rates and credit default swap spreads. These contracts are categorized as Level 2 and are included in “Other assets” and “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other” on the Balance Sheets.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to determine the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value as described below:

Cash: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets is stated at fair value.

Net Receivables: For floating rate loans, wholesale financing, and interest and other receivables, fair values approximate carrying values. For fixed rate loans that were not impaired, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on current rates for comparable loans. Finance lease receivables and the related loss provisions have been excluded from the accompanying table.

Commercial Paper and Medium-Term Notes: The carrying amounts of the Company’s commercial paper and floating-rate medium-term notes approximate their fair value. A portion of the Company’s fixed-rate term notes has been converted to variable-rate term notes using fair value hedges for interest rate risk. Fair value of fixed-rate term notes is determined using modeling techniques that include market inputs for interest rates.

Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other: Carrying amounts approximate fair value and have been excluded from the accompanying table.

Fixed-rate loans and debt that are not carried at approximate fair value are as follows:

The registrant has not had any disagreements with its independent auditors on accounting or financial disclosure matters.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2011 (“Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures in place at the Company are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company has no subsidiaries), in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining satisfactory 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, 2011, 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. Based on this assessment, we concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.
