NADA Commercial Truck Guide Industry Update March 2014 Average retail sleeper pricing sets another record Severe weather likely behind unusual results in many segments Special Study: Effect of Emissions Mandates on the Used Truck Market Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014 TABLE OF CONTENTS Commercial Truck Market Trends ............................................................................................... 2 Economic Data ............................................................................................................................. 11 ATD/NADA Official Commercial Truck Guide Value Trends ........................................................ 15 At NADA Used Car Guide ............................................................................................................. 16 COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS Summary Increased numbers of newer trucks continue to enter the retail and wholesale channels, providing buyers with better access to the low-mileage iron they demand. Severe weather likely kept many buyers away from the auctions in January, resulting in anomalous results in medium duty and sleeper segments. Used truck pricing could be impacted by upcoming rounds of fuel economy mandates, as a special study explores. Continued volatility in sales volume is expected to subside in the second quarter as winter draws to a close. Sleeper Tractors – Retail January’s universal average set yet another record, coming in at $56,488. This is the highest figure we’ve recorded since our current data analysis processes were introduced in mid-2007. Low mileage was a factor - at 520,764 - but this figure was less than 1% lower than other recent low months. Age was identical to December, at 77 months. Month-over-month, January was $2292 (or 4.1%) higher on price and 7284 (or 1.4%) lower on mileage. Year-over-year, January 2014 was $7770 (or 13.8%) higher than January 2013 on price, and 21,840 (or 4.0%) lower on mileage. See the “Average Retail Price and Mileage” graph for detail. NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide 2 Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] The bulk of the retail sleeper market is represented by model years 2007-2011. 2007’s remain popular as the last of the pre-DPF trucks, and units with attractive mileage will continue to hold their value for as long as they remain available. The first of the DPF trucks - 2008’s – have depreciated the most of recent model years, but even their roughly $415 or 1%/month depreciation is low by historical standards. 2009’s have seen essentially no depreciation over the past year. 2010’s – the first trucks to feature SCR hit a low point in May of 2013, then started to appreciate, and are currently selling for the same prices they were last summer. 2011’s are the major factor in the retail market at present, outselling other model years for the second month in a row. With average mileage for 2011’s just below 400,000, demand remains strong, and supply is still inadequate despite the increased volume. As for the newest trucks, 2012’s continue to enter the market in greater numbers, and are selling for more than their 2011 counterparts did this time last year. 2013’s are Average Retail Price by Model Year - All Sleeper Tractors Under 1M Miles Adjusted for Mileage $100,000 $90,000 $80,000 still too rare to be a notable factor at present. See $70,000 “Average Retail Price by Model Year” graph for detail. $60,000 2007 2008 2009 $50,000 We see little change in these trends over the next two 2010 $40,000 2011 quarters. 2012’s could place very mild downward $30,000 2012 pricing pressure on late-model trucks as they enter the market in greater numbers, but it is also possible $20,000 $10,000 Source: ATD/NADA $0 demand will remain strong enough to absorb this supply with no impact to pricing. The bottom line is dealers can be confident in the value of their late-model inventory in the upcoming months. Sleeper Tractors – Wholesale Auctions appear to have been impacted by January’s severe weather, with buyers snapping up mainly the most desirable iron and leaving the rest in the cold. Trucks sold through wholesale channels in January were much younger and lower-mileage than in earlier months. Specifically, the average sleeper tractor sold in January was 72 months old, had 623,844 miles, and brought $38,549. This average truck was a notable 11 months younger than NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide 3 Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] its December counterpart, and a whopping 28 Average Wholesale Price and Mileage: All Sleeper Tractors Under 1M Miles months younger than January 2013. In terms of $45,000 mileage, January’s average was 19,781 (or 3.1%) $40,000 lower than December, and a substantial 91,502 (or $35,000 12.8%) lower than January 2013. This much newer and lower-mileage mix caused January’s pricing to 700000 650000 $30,000 $25,000 600000 $20,000 550000 come in $7771 (or 20.2%) higher than December’s, $15,000 and $14,751 (or 38.3%) higher than January 2013.

The main factor behind $60,000 this shift was an unusually high proportion of trucks $50,000 30 with 400-500,000 miles, largely of the 2011 model $40,000 25 year (see “Average Wholesale Price and Number of $30,000 20 Trucks Sold” graph for detail).

To this end, January’s results – while extreme – reinforced the trend towards 60 decreased marketplace tolerance for trucks with over 40 600,000 miles. At the same time, once severe winter 20 weather subsides, we expect averages to return closer to the recent trend.

As such, we now consider model $80,000 -year 2011 trucks four years old. The big story, then, $70,000 is how much more money four-year-old trucks are Adjusted for Mileage $60,000 $50,000 bringing now than they did at this time in 2013 and $40,000 2012 (as well as earlier years not included in the $30,000 graph). A very favorable supply/demand relationship $20,000 for low-mileage trucks is the primary factor at work $10,000 here. See the “Average Retail Price by Model Year” Avg. for all Trucks 2 per. Mov.

In terms of competitive positioning, there was Average Retail Selling Price of 4-Year-Old Sleeper Tractors essentially no change – all models brought solid $90,000 pricing in January. The T2000 will no longer be $80,000 included in future updates because the 2010 model $70,000 year should have been the last for that model. We say Adjusted for Mileage $60,000 $50,000 “should have been” because Kenworth did not build $40,000 any SCR-equipped T2000’s, but we nonetheless $30,000 2 per. Mov. Avg. (T2000) received a small number of T2000 sales labeled as $20,000 2 per. Mov. Avg. (387) 2011’s. As these sales did not include VINs with which Avg. for all Trucks 2 per. Mov. Avg. (VNL 630/670) $10,000 2 per. Mov. Avg. (ProStar) Source: ATD/NADA $0 to verify model year, we believe they were actually 2010’s. Next month, we will include the T700. Medium Duty—Class 3-4 Cabovers As mentioned, severe weather likely put a damper on auction activity in January. This factor manifested itself in an unusually low number of Class 3-4 cabovers reported sold. The few that sold had much higher than average mileage, resulting in lower average pricing. We consider this month an outlier, and will refrain from assigning much meaning to its results. Nonetheless, here are the stats for January: Average wholesale price came in at $8450, NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide 5 Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] $3092 (or 26.8%) lower than December, and $6767 Average Wholesale Price and Mileage: 4-7 Year-Old Class 3-4 Cabovers (or 44.5%) lower than January 2013. Mileage, at $20,000 180,000 $18,000 160,000 $16,000 140,000 160,466, was 46,509 (or 29.0%) higher than December, and 59,641 (or 37.2%) higher than January $14,000 2013. See associated graph for detail. $12,000 We expect a return to more typical figures as we exit the 1st quarter. Medium Duty—Class 4 Conventionals Unlike cabovers and heavier GVW conventionals, 120,000 100,000 $10,000 80,000 $8,000 60,000 $6,000 40,000 $4,000 $2,000 2 per. Mov. Avg. (Price) 20,000 2 per. Mov. Avg. (Mileage) Sources: ATD/NADA and AuctionNet $0 0 lighter GVW conventionals sold in normal numbers in January. Class 4’s are more heavily exposed to the consumer/end-user market than their heavier GVW counterparts, so it is possible that the superior performance of this segment indicates stronger demand. Supporting this observation was a nice month-over -month uptick in pricing. Average Wholesale Price and Mileage: 4-7 Year-Old Class 4 Conventionals Specifically, the average wholesale selling price of a 4- $25,000 140000 7 year-old Class 4 conventional in January was $15,618 - $2884 (or 18.5%) higher than December, and $114 (or 0.7%) higher than January 2013. 120000 $20,000 100000 $15,000 80000 Average mileage, at 102,391, was 771 (or 0.8%) higher than December, and 10,726 (or 10.5%) higher than January 2013. See associated graph for detail. 40000 $5,000 2 per. Mov. Avg. (Class 4 Price) There is still no shortage of supply of trucks with over 100,000 miles in this segment. In addition, end users 60000 $10,000 Sources: ATD/NADA and AuctionNet 20000 2 per. Mov. Avg. (Class 4 Mileage) $0 0 confident in their job or business outlook are largely shopping for new trucks. At the same time, used trucks with mileage in the low-6 figures still have plenty of remaining life, and are at an attractive price point. It is likely that future performance of this segment will reflect the slow but steady growth of the economy overall. Medium Duty—Class 6 Conventionals Like cabovers, heavier-GVW conventionals saw a steep decline in volume in January. NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide 6 Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] Unlike cabovers, trucks that did sell had lower-than-average mileage. This performance is logical, as only the most desirable trucks would be expected to sell in a low-volume month. As with cabovers, we consider January’s result an Average Wholesale Price and Mileage: 4-7 Year-Old Class 6 Conventionals anomaly, so we do not read too much into the $25,000 250000 $20,000 200000 $15,000 150000 $10,000 100000 results. With this in mind, the average 4-6 year-old Class 6 conventional sold wholesale in January brought $23,473, which is $5602 (or 23.9%) higher than December, and $8591 (36.6%) higher than January 2013. Mileage, at 123,022, was 39,015 (or 24.1%) lower than December, and 61,170 (or 33.2%) $5,000 50000 2 per. Mov. Avg. (Class 6 Price) Sources: ATD/NADA and AuctionNet lower than January 2013. See associated graph for 2 per. Mov. Avg. (Class 6 Mileage) $0 0 detail. Again, January’s results were not indicative of a shifting market. Previous months suggest mildly higher demand for trucks with mileage in the low to mid 100s, and we will stick with that observation for now. Sales Volume Unusual month-over-month swings in volume of Average Number of Used Trucks Retailed per Rooftop trucks retailed continued in January, heading back 8.0 down after December’s increase. Dealers sold 5.3 7.0 trucks per rooftop in January, down 1.0 trucks (or 6.0 15.9%) from December, and also down 1.0 trucks 5.0 from January 2013 (see “Average Number of Used 4.0 Trucks Retailed” graph for detail). Two of the major 3.0 factors likely contributing to volatility in late 2013 – 2.0 political budgetary dysfunction and uncertainty 1.0 regarding tax benefits – are no longer primary 0.0 Source: ATD/NADA factors. However, severe weather is every bit the factor it has been in recent months, and will continue to be into the 2nd quarter. As such, we expect monthly swings in volume to continue into spring. NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide 7 Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] In the wholesale channel, January’s volume was Total Wholesale Sales Reported to NADA moderately better than December’s, but still well off 6000 the calendar-year 2013 average (see “Total 2010 Total: 42,320 2011 Total: 29,282 2012 Total: 34,275 2013 Total: 39,179 5000 Wholesale Sales Reported to NADA” graph for detail). As in the retail channel, we place primary blame on the weather, with similar improvements forecast as 4000 3000 we exit the 1st quarter. 2000 Special Study: How will Upcoming Emissions 1000 Mandates Impact the Used Truck Market? Sources: ATD/NADA and AuctionNet 0 By now you’re well aware of President Obama’s announcement that he will direct the EPA and DOT to set the next (post-2018) round of medium and heavy truck fuel economy and emissions standards. The first round of standards was finalized in September 2011, and trucks meeting those standards are just now going into production. This study examines the impact of 2002-2014 standards on selling price, and provides a look at how the used truck market could perform post 2014. If you regularly read Guidelines or subscribe to our used truck values, you know that used Class 8 pricing is currently at historically-high levels. A major reason for this market dynamic is the high price of new trucks. In 2002, truck buyers learned the phrase, “emissions escalator.” An emissions escalator is simply a surcharge buyers pay for engines that meet current standards. According to a recent NADA/ATD Report (available free at http://www.nadafrontpage.com), the cumulative effect of the 2004-2010 emissions mandates on the price of a new truck was over $20,000. In other words, a new truck sold in 2012 cost over $20,000 more than it did before the requirements were in place (in real dollars). And pricing has increased further since the report was published. These price increases have pushed many buyers to late-model, low-mileage used trucks as a substitute for new. At roughly $56,000, the average sleeper tractor with mileage in the low-500,000s is about one-third the MSRP of a new truck. Granted, most buyers pay substantially less than MSRP. But even at half the price of new, the difference is compelling. On the supply side, thanks to the Great Recession and the 2007 pre-buy, a historically NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide 8 Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] low number of new trucks were built for model years 2008-2011. This dynamic resulted in a tight supply of iron entering the secondary market as trade-ins. With buyers looking for late-model trucks to substitute for expensive new iron, pricing for low- to averagemileage trucks surpassed pre-recession levels in mid-2011, and has continued accelerating through the present time. The current average retail price of roughly $56,000 is 14% higher than the pre-recession peak in mid-2008. And this average truck now has mileage in the low-500,000s, as opposed to the mid-400,000s of 2008. So buyers are paying more for trucks with higher mileage. Marketplace acceptance of new technologies will determine whether these conditions continue. Historically, each new generation of emissions control technology has been met with trepidation. The new truck pre-buy in 2002 advance of the introduction of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) technology was a major market development, as was the pre-buy of 2006 in advance of the introduction of Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). On the other hand, pre-buy activity was mild to nonexistent in advance of the most recent Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, due mainly to sluggish market conditions, increased comfort level with this technology, and promised fuel mileage improvements. Pre-buys didn’t just artificially and temporarily increase demand for new trucks – they also increased demand for late-model used trucks to use as a “bridge” until each new technology had been on the market long enough to work out any bugs. Fortunately, reliability concerns seem to have been largely alleviated with the SCR generation. Also, thanks to much better advance notice of upcoming standards, truckmakers will have more time to develop and test new technologies. These factors, combined with the increased fuel economy of each upcoming step, suggest a pre-buy on the level of 2002 or 2006 is unlikely going forward. On the supply side, thanks to the more typical build rate of 2012-2014 model year trucks – along with a return to 3-5 year trade cycles - we expect a moderately increased number of late-model trucks entering the secondary market in upcoming years. However, this increased supply should be balanced by the likely ongoing increases in new truck pricing, which will keep many buyers in the used market. For fleets and successful operators who can afford it, a new truck will provide real fuel economy NADA Used Car Guide | 8400 Westpark Drive | McLean, VA 22102 | 800.544.6232 | nada.com/b2b © 2014 NADA Used Car Guide 9 Commercial Truck Guidelines | March 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] benefits. For other buyers, late-model used trucks will remain a popular substitute, helping to absorb any increased supply. Conclusion Expect continued volatility in volume along with anomalous results in pricing for the remainder of the winter, due mainly to extreme weather conditions keeping buyers home. The exception will be for sleeper tractors with under 600,000 miles, which will remain a sure bet regardless of external factors.

The declining rate has been a mix of middling job creation and labor force participation that has languished around 35-year lows. At the same time, long-term unemployment remains a major structural impediment, making the Fed's final decision on interest rates likely more reliant on an arbitrary qualitative impression of economic health. The number of people without jobs for 27 weeks or longer grew 203,000 to 3.8 million—a group that now represents fully 37% of the unemployed.
