In the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Mazda reported a decline in financial performance compared to the previous year. The company faced significant challenges, including a decrease in net sales and a shift from operating income to an operating loss.
Key financial metrics revealed that net sales decreased by 8.8% to ¥1,099.8 billion, while the company recorded an operating loss of ¥46.1 billion, a stark contrast to the operating income of ¥50.4 billion in the same period last year. The net loss attributable to owners of the parent was ¥42.1 billion, driven by factors such as extra retirement expenses and income taxes. Additionally, global sales volume decreased by 2.8%, with notable declines in the European and U.S. markets.
Despite the current downturn, Mazda’s management remains cautiously optimistic about the future, with a revised financial forecast for the full fiscal year. The company aims to achieve net sales of ¥4,900 billion and an operating income of ¥50 billion, although these figures represent a decrease from the previous year.
Looking ahead, Mazda is focused on navigating the challenges posed by market conditions and tariffs, while continuing to prioritize cost improvements and strategic investments to bolster its long-term growth prospects.
