FY2026 Earnings Briefing Materials, Part 1: FY2026 Earnings Briefing

In the fiscal year ended March 2026, revenue and operating profit declined due to the impact of production cuts, while ordinary profit and net income increased due to foreign exchange movements and one-off factors. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue is expected to recover, but operating profit, ordinary profit and net income are forecast to decline.

What the company explained in this material
Self-assessment against the planThe company's self-assessment against its own plan.
Revenue was broadly in line with the forecast. Each profit item exceeded the forecast.
Key points of the Q&AKey questions raised by investors at the briefing and the company's answers
  1. One-off factors: explanation of the reversal of the allowance for doubtful accounts in Japan, compensation related to the cancellation of new vehicle development in North America, the reversal of the product warranty provision, gains on the sale of investment securities and impairment losses.
  2. Tariff costs: partial recovery has progressed, but the full amount has not been recovered; an agreement is expected during the fiscal year ending March 2027.
  3. Variance from the forecast: revenue was broadly in line with the forecast, while profit items exceeded the forecast due to foreign exchange movements and one-off factors.
  4. Medium-term management plan: publication of the Seventh Medium-Term Management Plan will be postponed because it is difficult to formulate reasonable and reliable medium- to long-term forecasts.
  5. EV strategy and the situation in the Middle East: although it is difficult to reasonably estimate the amount of the impact, the company aims to minimize the impact through discussions and a flexible response.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

In the fiscal year ended March 2026, the negative effects of lower revenue, higher variable costs and model mix differences could not be fully offset by rationalization and lower fixed costs, resulting in a decline in operating profit. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, higher fixed costs, variable costs and depreciation are expected to weigh on operating profit, while the effects of higher revenue, rationalization and model mix differences are also anticipated.
