Hino Motors, Ltd., a prominent player in the automotive industry, specializes in the manufacturing and sale of trucks and buses, serving both domestic and international markets.
In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Hino Motors reported a notable increase in profitability despite a decline in net sales. The company achieved significant growth in operating and ordinary income, attributed to strategic cost reductions and price revisions.
Key financial metrics revealed a decrease in net sales by 11.4% to ¥364,244 million, primarily due to reduced unit sales in both domestic and overseas markets. However, operating income surged by 165.4% to ¥16,943 million, and ordinary income increased by 279.5% to ¥20,242 million, reflecting effective cost management. Profit attributable to owners of the parent reached ¥13,554 million, a substantial improvement from the previous year’s loss.
Hino Motors’ financial position showed a decrease in total assets and liabilities, influenced by settlements related to engine certification issues. Despite these challenges, net assets increased due to the recorded quarterly profit. Looking ahead, the company maintains its previously announced financial forecasts, indicating a cautious yet optimistic outlook for the fiscal year.
Hino Motors remains committed to navigating market challenges and leveraging strategic initiatives to enhance its financial performance, aiming to sustain growth and profitability in the coming quarters.
