Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (HMC:NYSE) Announced its Consolidated Financial Summary for the Fiscal 2nd Quarter Ended September 30, 2022 and Forecasts for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2023
TOKYO, Nov. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
- Despite some unfavorable factors such as a decrease in automobile production and unit sales due to the impact of the semiconductor supply shortage, and an increase in the cost of raw materials, consolidated operating profit for the fiscal first half (6 months) ended September 30, 2022, amounted to 453.4 billion yen (a year-on-year increase by 11.2 billion yen). This was due primarily to pricing that reflects increased product value, a reduction of incentives, an increase in motorcycle unit sales and favorable currency effects.
- Consolidated profit for the fiscal first half (6 months) attributable to owners of the parent amounted to 338.5 billion yen (a year-on-year decrease by 50.6 billion yen), due primarily to a decrease in the share of profit of investments accounted for using the equity method.
