How to read these numbers

Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.

Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.

No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.

Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.

Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.

Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2025 Q4

it'd be good just to kind of understand how you think about the annual growth potential in that business in the next couple of years

Judy guided mod revenue in teens for 2026 and beyond. Mix of volume business and major multi-year projects (Transport for London). 30% backlog won't fully convert in one year. Market grew 13% in 2025. Introduced phased packages (Arise in EMEA) expanding addressable market beyond full replacements.

I'm just wondering what it will take to get back to the kind of 10% plus ambitions that you've previously discussed at Investor Days

Judy openly admitted conservative start. Cristina detailed midpoint = 6% ($0.23): operational component $0.15 (up from $0.09 in 2025), FX $0.08 favorable (assuming EUR $1.18, spot $1.20), below-the-line roughly flat. Higher interest expense from refinancing offset by buybacks ($800M) and lower tax (24.5%).

Calendar 2025 Q1

I was hoping you could just discuss some of the one-off costs that you have in operating profit beyond the restructuring programs that you've previously communicated?

Show response

Cristina detailed: $66M restructuring (in line with $250M annual guide), $52M German tax case indemnification to RTX, $21M legal settlements, $10M held-for-sale impairment. All adjusted from operating profit.

Calendar 2024 Q4

If we think about the 4.2% growth in the installed base, is it possible to break this down into New Equipment conversions, retention recapture and then also Mod conversions?

Subscriber GrowthDemandTranscript · FY2024 Q4 →
Show response

Judy explained on-portfolio Mod is retention (net neutral) while off-portfolio Mod is incremental. Currently off-portfolio Mod is very small portion of 4.2% growth. Expects off-portfolio Mod to grow significantly over time.

Calendar 2025 Q2

in terms of the Q3 deliveries, I think you said 32,000 to 33,000. Can you provide any comments around the regional breakdown

Show response

Feight noted normal European summer shutdown, NA build rates matched to market, and Mexico continues softer due to tariff discussions.

Can you provide any comments just around what the breakdown for the supply chain is

Supply ChainTrade TariffsTranscript · FY2025 Q2 →
Show response

Feight acknowledged multi-tier supply chain complexity. Components sourced from various regions but PACCAR's US production is the critical factor.
