- **Resilient Q3 Results**: $1.9 billion revenue, $66.7 million net income, and 63% gross profit from aftermarket despite industry challenges.
- **Truck Sales Mixed**: Class 8 down 11% YoY but outperforming market; medium-duty stable with Canadian growth; used trucks flat, leasing up 4.7%.
- **2026 Recovery Hope**: CEO optimistic on regulatory-driven fleet rightsizing and reduced production, despite near-term tariff and economic headwinds.
- **Strategic Strengths**: Aftermarket resilience, diversified revenue streams (leasing, parts), and disciplined capital returns ($9.2M buybacks, $14.8M dividends).

**【CEO Summary Section】**
- **Q3 2025 Financials**: Revenue of $1.9 billion and net income of $66.7 million ($0.83 per diluted share). A $0.19 per share dividend was approved.
- **Aftermarket Resilience**: Aftermarket operations contributed 63% of gross profit, with parts, service, and collision center revenues up 1.5% YoY to $642.7 million. Strategic initiatives like technician recruitment and new customer segments offset weak demand.
- **Truck Sales Performance**: Sold 3,120 Class 8 trucks (5.8% market share), down 11% YoY, outperforming the market. Medium-duty sales (2,979 units) declined 8.3% YoY but gained 10.7% market share in Canada via bus sales.
- **Used and Leasing Growth**: Used truck sales flat YoY, while leasing revenue rose 4.7% to $93.3 million, driven by new vehicle additions and cost efficiency.
- **Industry Challenges**: Freight rates remain depressed, overcapacity persists, and regulatory uncertainty (tariffs, emissions) delays recovery. CEO expects weak demand for at least the next two quarters but anticipates a rebound in 2026 due to fleet rightsizing and regulatory clarity.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Cycle Bottom and 2026 Outlook**: CEO predicts Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 will be challenging due to low order intake but sees 2026 recovery driven by regulatory changes (e.g., driver enforcement, emission standards) and reduced truck production. Tariffs and inflationary pressures remain concerns.
- **Medium-Duty Stability**: Medium-duty sales expected to remain stable through 2025, less volatile than Class 8, with leasing and inventory management supporting performance.
- **Used Truck Market**: Pricing stable, with depreciation aligning with historical trends. Used trucks benefit from tariff and emission regulation immunity, supporting sales despite seasonal softness.
- **Parts and Service Strategy**: Despite market softness, the company maintains share through technology investments (mobile services, data analytics) and operational discipline, aiming to outgrow the market by 1% annually.
