Hino Motors, Ltd., a prominent player in the automotive industry, specializes in manufacturing and selling light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks and buses, as well as providing spare parts and other related services.

In the latest earnings report for the first half of fiscal year 2025, Hino Motors reported a significant increase in net sales, reaching ¥847,546 million, reflecting a 12.2% rise from the previous year. However, despite the growth in sales, the company faced a substantial loss attributable to extraordinary losses related to certification issues in North America, resulting in a net loss of ¥219,598 million.

The key highlights of the financial performance include a remarkable increase in operating income to ¥24,096 million, a 256.1% rise due to increased domestic sales and a favorable exchange rate. Nonetheless, the extraordinary loss due to North American certification issues heavily impacted the bottom line. Additionally, the company showed a mixed performance across different regions, with a notable decline in sales in Asia but increased sales in North America.

Looking forward, Hino Motors has adjusted its forecast for the full fiscal year, projecting net sales of ¥1,650,000 million and operating income of ¥30,000 million. The company remains focused on managing the ongoing challenges with certification issues while leveraging its strengths in the domestic market to bolster performance.
