1 NADA Commercial Truck Guide Industry Update 2014 Class 8 retail pricing may have found its ceiling Increased numbers of late-model trucks entering market Interest in high-mileage trucks increases in wholesale channel Demand for pre-dpf trucks makes investment worthwhile Medium duty segments showing continued strength Class 4 gradually recovering, Class 6 particularly strong in ch

2 Price Commercial Truck Guidelines 2014 TABLE OF CONTENTS Commercial Truck ket Trends... 2 Economic Data ATD/NADA Official Commercial Truck Guide Value Trends At NADA Used Car Guide COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS Summary The volume of trucks sold at auction roared back in ch after a mediocre start to the year, thanks to pent-up demand and the month s traditionally strong results. Volume through the retail channel increased mildly, potentially representing a return to monthover-month stability. Class 8 retail pricing on average is mildly down, suggesting that late-model trucks may have found their price ceiling. Class 8 wholesale pricing on average also ticked downward, driven by the continued increase in number of high-mileage trucks sold. In the medium duty market, Class 4 conventionals continue to gradually strengthen, while Class 6 conventionals turned in a very strong month. Major players in the new truck arena are making big bets on the used truck market, as a special commentary explores. Sleeper Tractors Retail Retail sales data submitted to NADA from dealers and Average Retail Price and Mileage: All Sleeper Tractors Under 1M Miles OEM s shows that the overall sleeper market in $60,000 Price Mileage 580,000 ch ticked mildly downward. $55, ,000 The average sleeper tractor retailed in ch was 77 months old, had 524,564 miles, and sold for $55,840. Compared to ruary, this truck was one month newer, had 4224 (or 0.8%) fewer miles, and worth $50, ,000 $386 (or 0.7%) less. Compared to ch 2013, this $30, ,000 $45, ,000 $40, ,000 $35, ,000 Mileage Source: ATD/NADA NADA Used Car Guide 8400 Westpark Drive McLean, VA nada.com/b2b 2

See Average Retail Price and Mileage graph. The year-over-year comparison provides a good example of how the market has shifted over this period, with the average used truck now worth over $5000 more retail despite identical age and mileage. As we ve stated, continued increases in our universal average are due mainly to an increased number of newer, lower-mileage trucks available to the secondary market. Trucks of 2011 vintage are now the most common sold retail, and 2012 s are slowly but surely coming on-line. In terms of mileage, trucks in the ,000 range have increased in recent months. See Monthly Retail Sales Volume graph. Based on this positive data, why did we say that the market ticked mildly downward? Because when viewed on an individual basis, most trucks declined slightly in ch. Essentially, the market is increasingly represented by newer trucks, which bolsters our universal average - but when viewed by model year, trucks are flat to slightly down. See Average Retail Price by Model Year graph. Spring market dynamics are still shaking out after an unusual winter, so we are not yet identifying a trend. We expect retail pricing in upcoming months to be stable to very mildly downward. Sleeper Tractors Wholesale The wholesale channel continues to be a story of two separate markets, with trucks with under 600,000 miles representing the late-model, higher-priced component and the segment represented by trucks with over 800,000 miles increasing in popularity. Volume and pricing for the high-mileage segment increased through the 1st quarter of 2014, which is a new development.

4 Price Jan-12 Price Commercial Truck Guidelines 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] On average, the typical used truck sold at auction or dealer-to-dealer in ch was 86 months old, had 699,500 miles, and brought $32,183. Month-over-month, this truck was 3 months older, had 23,965 (or 3.3%) fewer miles, and cost $492 (or 1.5%) more. Year-over-year, the average truck was 7 months newer, had 43,785 (or 5.9%) fewer miles, and cost $8452 (or 26.3%) more. See Average Wholesale Price and Mileage graph. The year-over-year increase is due mainly to a higher number of 2009 and 2010 model-year trucks moving through wholesale channels, their higher relative pricing comprising a larger proportion of the universal average this month. As for high-mileage trucks, buyers continue to pay more for trucks with over 800,000 miles, continuing a trend that began in the 1st quarter. In 2014 to date, trucks in this mileage group make up a larger proportion of the market than they did in These trucks are most commonly from the 2006 and 2007 model years, which are popular as the last of the pre- DPF models. Engines will need a major overhaul if they haven t had one already, but some buyers may consider this procedure worth the investment, since the market for pre-dpf trucks with remaining useful life remains healthy outside of coastal/port regions. Anecdotal evidence suggests this activity is most common in the long & tall segment, but our data indicates aerodynamic models are also contributing to this trend. See Average Wholesale Price and Number of Trucks Sold graph. Average Wholesale Price and Mileage: All Sleeper Tractors Under 1M Miles $45,000 $40,000 $35,000 $30,000 $25,000 $20,000 $15,000 $10,000 Given this dynamic, dealers may want to revisit their aged, high-mileage inventory, as there may be more buyers out there now than in previous months. Establishing a relationship with a high-mileage truck broker or buyer could pay off in inventory $5,000 reduction and potentially increased comfort with high-mileage trade-ins. $0 Source: NADA and AuctionNet 2 per.

5 Price Price Commercial Truck Guidelines 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] We will continue to monitor this segment to determine whether these results are evidence of a long-term trend or merely a short-term anomaly following the unusual start to the year. Stay tuned. Competitive Comparison This month, we return to our benchmark 4-year-old comparison of aerodynamic models sold through the retail channel. As always, the comparison is limited to trucks equipped with big-bore or proprietary engines. As you can see, pricing for these trucks followed the broader market, staying similar to ruary or ticking mildly downward. See Average Retail Price 4 Year- Old Sleeper Tractors graph. The Freightliner Cascadia continues to lead the aerodynamic segment, retaining that position even after moving slightly downward this month. The 386, T660, and T700 returned very similar results monthover-month, and are positioned essentially equally in the marketplace. In the late-model market, there does not appear to be a clear difference between wide cab trucks, such as the T700 and 730/780, and narrow cab trucks, such as the T660 and 386. The moderately increased versatility of the narrower cab design is likely counterbalanced by the increased interior space of the wide-cab trucks, at least for units with remaining useful life in a long-haul role. A difference may become more apparent as trucks accumulate mileage and are placed in more local/ regional roles. Average Retail Price - 4-Year-Old Sleeper Tractors Adjusted for Mileage For trucks that typically trail the segment average, an increased number of MaxxForceequipped ProStars were sold in ch, placing downward pressure on that model s average. As experience with the 2011 iteration of the MaxxForce engine grows, $90,000 $80,000 $70,000 $60,000 $50,000 $40,000 $30,000 Source: ATD/NADA Avg. for All Trucks 2 per. Mov. Avg. (VNL 730/780) 2 per.

6 Price Commercial Truck Guidelines 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] marketplace confidence appears to be improving, judging by increased volume and pricing stability. As for other models, the 630/670 was stable month-over-month, and the limited build of s resulted in no reported sales in ch. Medium Duty Class 4 Conventionals The Class 4 Conventional segment showed strength in ch, with average wholesale pricing for 4-7 yearold units coming in at $17,581 - $2487 (or 14.1%) higher than last month, and $3274 (or 18.6%) higher than ch Average mileage was 98,745 16,499 (or 14.3%) lower than ruary, and 9492 (or 8.8%) lower than ch See graph. On a quarter vs. quarter basis, Q saw higher pricing than Q4 2013, at $16,005 vs. $13,322, respectively. Mileage in Q was mildly lower than the previous quarter, at 105,307 vs. 108,282. Q was slightly better than Q1 2013, with a $776 (or 4.8%) improvement in price despite a 6708 (or 6.4%) increase in mileage.

(Class 4 Mileage) 140, , ,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 Mileage This higher pricing is encouraging, but keep in mind the moderately lower mileage this month is partly responsible. Also, and more importantly, the volume of trucks reported sold in this cohort has remained in the unit range each month, down about 25 units from the 2012 average. Given these results, we continue to view the Class 4 segment as gradually improving. As this segment touches a wide variety of economic segments, we expect results in upcoming months to roughly track the gradual improvement in the domestic economy overall. Medium Duty Class 6 Conventionals Since January, we ve been reporting on the extremely low number of model year Class 6 Conventionals sold. Along with that low volume has come historically high pricing. In ch, the average 4-7 year-old Class 6 Conventional sold wholesale for $25,014 this highest average price in at least six years. Mileage was moderately low, at NADA Used Car Guide 8400 Westpark Drive McLean, VA nada.com/b2b 6

7 Price Commercial Truck Guidelines 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] 136,871, continuing a trend begun in January. See graph. Given the low monthly volume of this cohort, it is useful to look at quarterly results for a basis of comparison. Average price for the first quarter of 2014 was $24,005 a whopping $8028 (or 33.4%) higher than 4Q Lower average mileage this quarter was largely responsible for the price difference, coming in 23,015 (or 13.4%) lower than last quarter. Year-over year, Q was $7798 (or 32.5%) higher on price, and 35,663 (or 19.5%) lower on mileage. The Class 6 market is now priced higher than the previous post-recession peak in early Average Wholesale Price and Mileage: 4-7 Year-Old Class 6 Conventionals $30,000 $25,000 $20,000 $15,000 $10,000 $5,000 $0 Sources: ATD/NADA and AuctionNet 2 per. Mov. Avg. (Class 6 Price) 2 per. Mov. Avg. (Class 6 Mileage) 250, , , ,000 50,000 0 Mileage Lower average mileage is the main factor behind the higher pricing. At the same time, a deeper dive into the data suggests that trucks at given mileage points are bringing moderately higher pricing in the current period. As such, our confidence in the strength of the Class 6 market is increasing. Special Commentary: Major Players Betting Big on Used Trucks Recently, two of the nation s largest sources of new and used trucks, Rush Enterprises and Penske, opened brick-and-mortar locations dedicated solely to used trucks. Rush currently operates one Rig Tough used truck location, and is planning to open an unknown number of additional locations this year. Penske Used Trucks currently has two locations, and plans to open two more by the end of For entities with access to the necessary capital, a major investment in used truck infrastructure makes sense. Late-model trucks are selling for historically high prices, and increased numbers of these trucks have been entering the secondary market due to the return to normal build rates and shorter trade cycles. In addition, competition between OEM s for new truck business will likely provide additional late-model trade-ins. NADA Used Car Guide 8400 Westpark Drive McLean, VA nada.com/b2b 7

8 Jan-12 Apr Jun Aug Oct Dec Apr Jun Aug Oct Dec Count Commercial Truck Guidelines 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] In general, dedicated used truck locations provide enhanced visibility among end users, extend services to areas otherwise not served by a dealer group, and ensure that a used truck is marketed on its own merits as opposed to merely being a component of a new truck deal. Looking specifically at Penske, this move represents a shift from their traditional wholesale model towards the retail channel, providing the end user with medium and heavy trucks ready for immediate purchase. In terms of Rush, the move provides potential customers increased access to trucks returning from trade in the near future. In both cases, an expected increase in volume of tradeins is an underlying rationale. In terms of the customer base, customer analytics have become extremely advanced thanks to better understanding of big data, and major operators like Penske and Rush are surely among the most-savvy when it comes to taking advantage of all the predictive tools available. According to ATD 20 Group data, used trucks represent a higher margin than new trucks as a percentage of gross. Establishing physical outlets for used trucks indicates a realization that there will be more iron to move, and there is money to be made doing it. Sales Volume As predicted, ch s retail volume was slightly higher than ruary s. ch came in at 6.3 trucks retailed per rooftop 0.2 higher than ruary. See Average Number of Used Trucks graph. Average Number of Used Trucks Retailed per Rooftop ch is traditionally a high-volume month, and the remaining pent-up demand from the winter likely contributed to sales. Thanks to fewer external factors suppressing demand, we expect increased stability in volume in upcoming months Source: ATD/NADA NADA Used Car Guide 8400 Westpark Drive McLean, VA nada.com/b2b 8

9 Jan-10 Jan-11 Jan-12 Total Sales Commercial Truck Guidelines 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] On the wholesale side, pent-up demand following the rough winter combined with timing of our data collection processes resulted in a massive increase in number of trucks reported sold in ch. In fact, this month represented the highest volume reported since of Month-over-month, ch s total of 4183 trucks was higher than ruary s by 1202 (or 28.7%). Year-overyear, ch 2014 was 1109 (or 26.5%) higher. See Total Wholesale Sales graph. Due to the timing of our data collection processes, we received one additional week of sales in ch compared to ruary. However, even if we split that extra week evenly between ruary and ch, ch still comes out ahead by almost 12%. That additional volume is explained by typical early-spring seasonality amplified by the severe winter. Volume will likely return closer to the 2013 average, and we expect auction activity in 2014 to proceed moderately higher than last year. Conclusion In the retail channel, Class 8 sleepers have likely seen the last of their appreciation. Pricing should remain at or mildly off record highs in upcoming months as more latemodel trucks become available. In the wholesale channel, increased interest in highmileage trucks is the new dynamic. In the medium duty sector, Class 4 conventionals are in recovery, albeit a very gradual one. Class 6 s may finally be coming back, although we will need another month of sales not impacted by winter weather to gain confidence in that assertion.

10 Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Prior-Month Change (thousands) Jan Jan Jan Jan Jan Unemployment Rate (%) Percent Change from Preceding Commercial Truck Guidelines 2014 [ ECONOMIC TRENDS ] Growth in the U.S. economy slowed dramatically to just 0.1% in the January-ch quarter amid a particularly harsh winter, according to the Commerce Department. The latest GDP figure was down from 2.6% growth in the fourth quarter of last year and represents the weakest growth since the end of The Bureau of Economic Analysis said a drop in exports and business investment especially on transportation equipment, computers and peripherals and a fall in housing construction tied to the weather were major factors. While worse than expected, the sharp downturn is likely to be temporary as growth rebounds with warmer weather. In contrast, people are still buying things. Growing at a 3% annual pace, consumer spending continues to be a bright spot. In particular, consumers shelled out more money on health care. The Bureau of Economic Analysis noted that the health care increase was driven primarily by the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Consumers also spent more on utilities likely because of the cold temperatures, but they cut back on clothing, household furnishings and eating out at restaurants. Auto sales jumped 8.5% in April compared with the same month a year ago, the best April sales increase in nine years. According to the Labor Department, the unemployment rate plunged to 6.3% in April from 6.7% in ch to reach its lowest level since tember This happened for two reasons; employers added 288,000 jobs to payrolls, the most Real Gross Domestic Product Percent change from preceding period (%, SAAR) Source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis Quarter Unemployment and Labor Participation Rates Seasonally Adjusted Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Participation Rate Monthly Change in Nonfarm Payrolls Seasonally Adjusted Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Month Unemployment Rate Month Labor Participation Rate (%) NADA Used Car Guide 8400 Westpark Drive McLean, VA nada.com/b2b 10
