Nissan Motors Faces Financial Challenges in Q1 2025

Nissan Motors ( (NSANY) ) has released its Q1 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Nissan Motors presented to its investors.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is a renowned global automobile manufacturer headquartered in Japan, known for producing a wide range of vehicles from passenger cars to commercial vehicles, and also offering sales financing services. In its latest earnings report for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, Nissan reported a significant decline in financial performance compared to the previous year. The company faced a net sales drop of 9.7% to ¥2,706.9 billion and an operating loss of ¥79.1 billion, attributed mainly to unfavorable foreign exchange rates and US tariffs. Additionally, Nissan’s net loss attributable to owners of the parent was ¥115.8 billion, a substantial deterioration from the previous year’s profit. The company’s cash flow from operating activities showed a decrease in net cash used, while investing activities saw an increase in cash outflow due to higher payments for leased vehicles. Financing activities, however, provided a positive cash flow, primarily due to increased short-term borrowings. Looking ahead, Nissan’s management has not provided a specific forecast for the full fiscal year 2025, citing uncertainties in estimating net income and earnings per share. The company remains focused on its strategic recovery plan, “Re:Nissan,” and aims to navigate the challenging market conditions with a cautious outlook.
