FY2022 Consolidated Financial Results

1. Business Performance and Financial Position

(1) Fiscal year 2022 business performance

In fiscal year 2022, the global industry volume increased by 2.7% to 80.51 million units. The Nissan Group (the "Group")'s global sales (on a retail basis) amounted to 3,305,000 units, a 14.7% decrease from the prior fiscal year mainly due to the effect of dealer inventory reductions which resulted in increase of retail volume in the previous year, in addition to supply chain disruptions and the semiconductor supply shortage. Also, the Group's market share decreased by 0.8 points to 4.1% from the prior fiscal year.

In Japan, TIV increased by 4.0% to 4.39 million units. The Group's sales volume (on a retail basis) increased by 6.1% to 454,000 units and the Group's market share increased by 0.2 points to 10.4% from the prior fiscal year.
