Management remarks
Call period: 2026 Q2 · 2026-08-04
Guidance: Mark Smith: For Components, we expect 2026 revenues to be up 8% to 13%, up from our prior outlook of growth of 7.5% at the midpoint due to stronger demand for trucks in North America and stronger demand in on- and off-highway markets in China.Demand and orders: Jennifer Rumsey: Industry demand for medium- and heavy-duty trucks in China was 378,000 units, an increase of 24% from last year, driven by strong export demand, particularly in Africa and Southeast Asia as well as improving domestic replacement demand and increase in battery electric-powered trucks. Our sales in units, including joint ventures, were 53,000 units, an increase of 2%.Margins: Mark Smith: Gross margin for the quarter was $2.5 billion or 26.1% of sales, up from $2.3 billion or 26.4% last year.Analyst Q&A
Analyst Steven Fisher asked: Just on the power side of things, the incremental margins seem to be better than the 25% to 30% expectations that you've talked about. I'm just curious kind of what's surprising you there? Management Mark Smith answered: I think the main driver has probably been stronger demand in China, which helps on the JV earnings side. But overall, not a big surprise. It's really just -- it's a question of efficiency during the ramp-up and how well we work with the supply chain, the pricing set. So I think generally, things have been going well there. There is going to be a step-up in engineering. It's not extraordinary. But as we launch -- we're bringing to market more new platforms, that will be a factor. But certainly, we expect the strong gross margin performance to continue.管理层陈述
电话会期间：2026 Q2 · 2026-08-04
指引：马克·史密斯：我们预计零部件业务2026年营收将增长8%至13%，较此前预期的中点增速7.5%有所提升，原因是北美卡车需求走强以及中国公路和非公路市场的需求更强劲。需求与订单：詹妮弗·拉姆齐：中国中重型卡车行业需求为37.8万辆，同比增长24%，驱动力包括强劲的出口需求（尤其非洲和东南亚市场）、改善的国内替换需求以及电动卡车数量的增加。我们的销量（含合资企业）为5.3万辆，同比增长2%。利润率：马克·史密斯：本季度毛利率为25亿美元，占销售额的26.1%，高于去年的23亿美元（占销售额的26.4%）。分析师问答
分析师史蒂文·费舍尔提问：我想了解为什么增量毛利率高于你们此前提及的25%至30%的预期？管理层马克·史密斯回答：主要驱动力可能是中国需求走强，这对合资企业收益有帮助。整体而言不算意外，核心是量产爬坡期间的效率、供应链协作和定价策略。推出更多新平台时工程投入会增加，但我们预计强劲的毛利率表现将持续。This earnings research was prepared from company results, regulatory filings, financial statements, and earnings-call transcripts or official replays.
