| So excellent credit quality |

| And as we work through that, we think there's great upside for that next year |
| And frankly, as we've said and we keep saying, right, these new trucks are providing good value to them |
| I mean, the mixture and how that works is our truck plants are just done an absolutely amazing job around the world, managing the last few years, and they are artisans at being able to build the trucks that they need to build |
| We anticipate fourth quarter close margins to be around 19%, reflecting the strong performance of our new truck models and PACCAR Parts |
| that is? Preston Feight Better than the forecast in terms of? Matt Elkott A smaller decline even than the 8% that you're expecting for the industry? Harrie Schippers Our strong presence in the vocational segment where we have 40% market share, that strength obviously should translate into PACCAR doing really well next year |
| PACCAR Parts innovative programs such as Advanced Fleet Management Services and Predictive Dealer Inventory Management, helped customers increase vehicle uptime and their financial performance |
| And I think for all our customers, there's the advantage of the new truck, right? If the truck is providing a 7% benefit in fuel economy, it's compelling reasons to buy that truck plus the drivers love it |

| If you look back, historically, there has been some relationship when PACCAR's truck volumes declined and industry profitability comes -- or is under pressure, that has weighed on parts sales, obviously not nearly the same kind of magnitude |
| But as you just kind of weigh this all together in an environment where global truck volumes are declining, and from what we can observe, trucker profitability in developed market's under some pressure |
| And obviously, there's some labor pressure |
| How do the higher rates that we're seeing in the market kind of layer in? Because obviously, you get some income, I guess, on your cash balances, which is great, but then there's probably some headwinds in the finance book |
| The market is a little bit softer there |
| I'm curious, obviously, it was down a little bit year-over-year |
| and Canada Class 8 forecast, it reflects what seems to be a smaller decline than some may have feared |
| I think predicting the future gets a little risky |
| I know there's been a lot of questions about gross margin |
| It feels like the general economies over there feel a bit more moderated than they are here |
| And I think that, that was mitigated for a little bit |
| We've been working through supply constraints on it |
| So that's somewhat of a decline compared to this year |
| Sorry, I missed it |
| It depends on the cycles and everything else, but I can't be more pleased with how PACCAR is positioned for the future and what it will be able to deliver |
| We're less concerned about whether the adoption curve is rapid in '27 or if it's '28 or whenever it is |
| But -- so relative to the industry forecast, do you think you might be able to outperform or you're not ready to say that |
