Results Presentation Materials for the Second Quarter (Interim Period) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2027, revenue and operating profit increased due to higher production of existing vehicle models and sales price revisions. However, tariff costs and differences in the vehicle mix weighed on profit, resulting in declines in ordinary profit and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent.

What the company explained in this material
Key points of the Q&AKey questions raised by investors at the briefing and the company's answers
  1. One-off factors: No new one-off factors with a material impact on results arose in the second quarter.
  2. Tariff cost recovery: There was no significant progress in recovering these costs in the second quarter, which weighed on profit, but the easing measures on tariffs by the U.S. government are expected to limit the emergence of new costs from the third quarter onward. The company is coordinating for early recovery of past costs.
  3. Medium-term management plan: The timing of the announcement of the Seventh Medium-Term Management Plan has not been decided at this time. The company plans to announce it after assessing automakers' strategy reviews and changes in the business environment in the Chinese market.

The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased due to higher production of existing vehicle models in Japan and North America, sales price revisions and foreign exchange effects. Operating profit increased as the benefit of higher revenue and rationalization outweighed the impact of differences in the vehicle mix, higher fixed costs, increased tariff costs, higher wages and revenue declines. The materials do not specify the individual factors behind the declines in ordinary profit and interim net income.
