Toyota sees earnings up by US$8.2b

TOYOTA reported yesterday a record 897.8 billion yen (US$8.2 billion) profit for the fiscal first quarter, underlining the Japa­nese automaker’s resilience even amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Toyota Motor Corp’s April-June profit zoomed more than five-fold from 158.8 billion yen the same period a year earlier.

Quarterly sales soared 73 percent from the previous year to 7.94 trillion yen. That is also a record for the maker of the Prius hybrid and Lexus luxury models.

Worries remained, such as the ongoing shortage of semicon­ductors and the rising costs of materials. Such concerns were the reason why Toyota kept its forecasts unchanged for the fis­cal year through March 2022, at a 2.3 trillion yen profit, and 9.6 million vehicles in sales.

That’s up from nearly 9.1 mil­lion vehicles Toyota sold during the fiscal year ended March 2021. When including sales of Daihatsu and Hino group com­panies, Toyota expects to sell 10.55 million vehicles, up from 9.9 million vehicles the previ­ous fiscal year.
