1. Highlights of financial results for FY2024 and FY2025 Summary of financial results

We were not able to regain the normal level of earnings in FY2024 or FY2025, due to the continuous impact of the misconduct for certification and the effects of unprofitable business.

We will work on issues swiftly for increasing profit further with the aim of realizing normal earnings.

Other:

In order to prevent the recurrence of misconduct for certification, we carefully cope with regulations enforced in each country.

Our measures that take into account development man-hours produced some effects on the supply and manufacturing of products in some countries.

  • The impact on global manufacturing in FY2025 was about 18,000 vehicles. The impact on sale was minor, thanks to the increase of stock based on regulations and rules, etc.
  • Manufacturing has been suspended in accordance with regulations and rules (Thailand, Vietnam).
  • We aim to normalize our business by the end of FY2025.
