Mazda announced its earnings, reporting that operating profit for the cumulative second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027 turned profitable at ¥72.8 billion and raising its full-year operating profit forecast to ¥160 billion. Meanwhile, second-half operating profit is estimated at ¥87.1 billion, while operating profit for July–September rose sharply to ¥29.9 billion.
In its earnings announcement during the afternoon session on 9 November, Mazda revealed that consolidated ordinary profit for April–September had turned profitable at ¥72.8 billion, compared with a loss of ¥21.2 billion in the same period of the previous year. At the same time, it raised its full-year ordinary profit forecast by 14.3%, from the previous forecast of ¥140 billion to ¥160 billion.
The revised full-year profit forecast implies an increase from the previous fiscal year's actual result of ¥131.8 billion. However, the company estimates second-half profit at ¥87.1 billion for October–March, which would represent a substantial decline year on year. In terms of performance during the period, ordinary profit for the most recent three-month period, July–September, rose sharply to ¥29.9 billion, approximately 2.3 times the level of the same period a year earlier, while the operating margin improved from -0.7% to 1.9%.
