NADA Commercial Truck Guide Industry Update October 2014 Retail sales volume down mildly, but pricing remains strong Seasonal slowdown in volume has likely begun Wholesale sales volume up, pricing remains solid Large group of 2011-2012 ProStars sold has outsized impact on monthly results Special Study: Status of New and Used Market for Natural Gas Trucks Commercial Truck Guidelines | October 2014 TABLE OF CONTENTS Commercial Truck Market Trends ............................................................................................... 2 ATD/NADA Official Commercial Truck Guide Value Trends ........................................................ 9 At NADA Used Car Guide ............................................................................................................. 10 COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS Market Summary Dealers retailed fewer trucks in August than in July, but pricing was little changed. Auction and wholesale sales volume was up slightly over July, but pricing through those channels pulled back - albeit with an asterisk. A special study looks at the factors driving supply and demand of natural gas trucks in the new and used markets. Sleeper Tractors – Retail Historically, the latter part of the year is not strong for used truck sales volume, as fleets and operators focus on moving freight with trucks acquired earlier in the year. This trend has not always been observable post-recession, but with pricing remaining at a high level – and no notable external factors limiting demand - that’s the most likely explanation this year. August’s universal retail average was nearly identical to July’s record, at $60,459 – only $308 (or 0.5%) Average Retail Price and Mileage: All Sleeper Tractors Under 1M Miles $65,000 lower. Average mileage was 510,445 – 6,561 (or Mileage $60,000 1.3%) higher. Average age was 75 months – 1 month 520,000 $50,000 490,000 $45,000 460,000 had 27,135 (or 5.0%) fewer miles, and was 2 months $40,000 older than August 2013.

Year-over-year, the average sleeper tractor retailed in August brought $6,369 (or 11.8%) more, Price Commercial Truck Guidelines | October 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] The market continues to efficiently absorb the increased numbers of newer trucks coming off-lease. Average Retail Price by Model Year: All Sleeper Tractors Under 1M Miles, Adjusted for Mileage $120,000 Depreciation remains mild for 2011 and newer trucks, $100,000 and nonexistent on 2010 and older trucks.

In this case, the Price $40,000 $30,000 biggest shift vs. last year is in the sub-500,000 mile $25,000 cohort.

Looking at pricing by model year, the newest years Average Wholesale Price and Number of Trucks Sold by Mileage Range Sleeper Tractors, CY2013 vs. YTD2014 appear to have taken a big dip this month, but these YTD2014 Price negative results were due largely to the YTD2014 Vol. CY2013 Vol. 500 $80,000 450 $70,000 400 350 $60,000 Price similar to previous months – namely, mild CY2013 Price $90,000 300 $50,000 250 $40,000 200 $30,000 depreciation for 2011 and newer trucks, and essentially flat pricing for 2010 and older trucks.

However, there was only one reported sale of this model in August, so the month is not a valid representation of that model’s positioning. The Kenworth T660 and Freightliner Cascadia continue to perform similarly, with prices essentially unchanged from last month. The Cascadia continues to be the largest-volume 2012 truck sold by a large margin, making its pricing performance even more impressive. Volvo’s models dipped below the industry average this month. 730/780’s reported sold continue to feature mileage well above the industry average, which could partially account for the comparatively lower pricing despite our mileage adjustment. 630/670’s have featured mileage at the high end of our acceptable range to slightly over, and we expect that model to track closer to the average over time. Average Retail Price - 3-Year-Old Sleeper Tractors Adjusted for Mileage The International ProStar ticked back down in August, $110,000 running roughly 25% below the average for this $100,000 $90,000 cohort. See “Average Retail Price – 3-Year-Old” graph for detail. Moving over to 4-year-old (2011MY) trucks, there was little change vs. last month. Price $80,000 $70,000 $60,000 386 ProStar VNL 630/670 Average for all Trucks $50,000 $40,000 $30,000 Jan-14 The Cascadia and T700 continue to mildly outperform Cascadia T660 VNL 730/780 Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Period Source: ATD/NADA the competition, with the T660, 730/780, and 386 closely behind. All of these models typically outperform the industry average. In the lower tier, the 630/670 and 387 had a better month than last, with the 630/670 performing very close to the industry average. The ProStar continues to depreciate, currently running about 12% behind the market average for the year to date. Only about 13% of 2011 ProStars reported sold this month were equipped with the MaxxForce.

(T700) Volvo’s announcement last week that they have stopped work on a compression ignition LNG engine for North America – it appears that interest in natural gas power has moderated. What are the factors Average Retail Price - 4-Year-Old Sleeper Tractors Adjusted for Mileage $90,000 currently impacting the new and used natural gas $80,000 truck markets? $70,000 Price With no change in economies of scale, the price of new NG engines and tanks is still a primary issue. The Period Source: ATD/NADA $60,000 Avg. for All Trucks premium of $30,000-$70,000 over diesel power $50,000 remains in place, and the cost/benefit only works out $40,000 in limited cases.

(ProStar) production needs to ramp up for price to come down, but until price comes down demand won’t increase. Period Source: ATD/NADA The “low” price of diesel fuel is another primary issue. Thanks to fracking, the US is now the world’s largest producer of crude oil and export restrictions keep all but a fraction of that crude in the US. This is not a temporary trend, either – domestic production is forecast to increase through 2019, and the US should remain the top producer into the 2030’s. This ample domestic supply keeps pricing lower and more stable than crude sold on the global market. Significantly, the US is also the world’s largest producer of natural gas, but the low price of NG alone is not sufficient to make the math work out for most trucking operations. Looking forward, there is one major factor that could rekindle interest in NG. Specifically, there’s a moderately good chance that the Commerce Department will relax 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 | October 2014 [ COMMERCIAL TRUCK MARKET TRENDS continued ] export restrictions on domestic crude. The agency has already lifted restrictions on a specific type of condensate, and lobbying for further relaxation is intense. This change would drive up the price of diesel, as domestic crude would move from a captive to global market. In this scenario, the cost/benefit for NG improves. Also, the natural gas fueling infrastructure continues to be built out, with about 740 public (and around 700 private) CNG stations and about 60 LNG stations currently in service. However, even with ongoing construction, access to even CNG is extremely limited compared to diesel – and don’t forget that not all CNG stations are fast-fill. For these reasons, natural gas-powered trucks are still a fraction of the new truck market. 2014 should see 10,500 trucks sold, which is a 20% increase over 2013… but still only 5% of the market. Many analysts forecast sales to reach 25-30,000 by 2018 – still a small percentage. The low number of trucks sold new will result in a low number returning to the secondary market. There are still essentially no natural gas trucks showing up in our retail or wholesale sales databases, and we don’t expect to see an actionable volume in the near term. NADA will continue to closely monitor our incoming sales data from Manheim, ADESA, regional auctions, individual dealers, dealer groups, and OEM’s for sales of NG trucks. If you are currently buying or selling used NG trucks, I would love to hear from you. Please drop me a line at cvisser@nada.org. Sales Volume – Retail and Wholesale The number of trucks reported sold wholesale Total Wholesale Sales Reported to NADA (auction plus dealer-to-dealer) stands at 27,317 6,000 through August, for a 5.7% increase over same-period 5,000 2010 Total: 42,320 2011 Total: 29,282 2012 Total: 34,275 2013 Total: 39,179 2013.

A secondary factor is increased interest in older, higher-mileage trucks – specifically those with over 800,000 miles. See “Total Wholesale Sales Reported to NADA” graph for detail. As for the retail channel, volume pulled back after a strong July. August’s result of 5.6 trucks per rooftop was the lowest since a weatherravaged January, and low for the month. Given Number of Used Trucks Retailed per Rooftop continued strong pricing, we’re not assigning much 8 importance to the result. 7 6 In terms of the year to date, 2014 to date is running 4 3 so far in 2014, compared to 48.7 in the same period 2 last year. 1 See the “Average Number of Used Trucks Sold per Rooftop” graph for detail. 0 Jan-12 Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan-13 Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan-14 Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug average dealer has retailed an average of 47.7 trucks 5 Number 0.1 truck behind same-period 2013, at 6.0 vs. 6.1. The Period Conclusion Retail and wholesale used truck markets enter the 4th quarter in strong shape. Selling activity should decrease in a historically-typical seasonal pattern, but pricing will remain solid. The increased volume of trucks entering the secondary market this year is the “new normal,” as we are now fully into the trade-in period for trucks built postrecovery. These factors should keep pricing trends predictable through the end of the year. Specifically, expect depreciation of roughly 1-1.5% for 2011 and newer trucks, and stable pricing for 2010 and older trucks.
