CEO Pay Ratio Disclosure

As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information:

For 2023, our last completed fiscal year:

 

a)

the annual total compensation of PACCAR’s median employee (excluding Mr. Feight, our Chief Executive Officer) was $93,387;

 

b)

the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer was $20,908,665; and

 

c)

the ratio of the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to the annual total compensation of PACCAR’s median employee was 224 to 1.

Methodology for Determining Our Median Employee and Annual Total Compensation

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees and to determine the annual total compensation (and any elements of annual total compensation) of our median employee, the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments and estimates that we used were as follows:

 

1.

As of October 1, 2023, our employee population consisted of approximately 30,000 individuals working at our parent company and subsidiaries located in the United States, Europe (primarily in Belgium, England and the Netherlands), Mexico, Canada, Australia and in various other countries.

We selected October 1, 2023, to allow sufficient time to identify the median employee given the size and global scope of our operations.

2.

We annualized the compensation for any employees who were not employed by us for the full nine-month period ending on September 30, 2023.

 

3.

We then identified and calculated the elements of our median employee’s compensation for fiscal 2023 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation in the amount of $93,387. The median employee’s annual total compensation includes all elements of compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

 

4.

For the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table.
