Highlights of Financial Results for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027

In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, consolidated revenue and operating profit significantly exceeded the prior-year period, driven by higher used-vehicle export volumes and progress in vehicle shipments. Meanwhile, the market outlook for Australia and New Zealand has been lowered following further interest-rate hikes.

The reasons the company gives

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

Results were lifted by higher export volumes to New Zealand, strong exports to Europe and other regions, the shipment and revenue recognition of used vehicles that had remained unshipped following a sharp increase in demand, improved profitability in related businesses such as logistics and inspections, the weaker yen, and the full-year contribution from companies acquired in previous M&A transactions. Meanwhile, the outlook for Australia and New Zealand was lowered due to cost-push inflation stemming from the unstable situation in the Middle East and further interest-rate hikes.
