The earnings call presented a positive outlook with record operating profits and strong performance in the motorcycle and hybrid segments. However, challenges in China and the impact of currency fluctuations were notable concerns. Overall, the positive aspects slightly outweigh the negatives.
Company Guidance
During the earnings call for Q1 2025, the executives of company 7267.T outlined several key financial metrics and strategic directions. The company achieved its highest-ever quarterly operating profit of JPY 484.7 billion, marking a 9% operating profit margin, which was an increase of JPY 90.2 billion year-on-year. This growth was driven by robust sales of hybrid models in the automotive sector and increased motorcycle sales, particularly in India and Brazil. However, challenges were noted in China, where a tough market environment led to a revised volume forecast down by 220,000 units. The full-year operating profit forecast remains at JPY 1.42 trillion, with an anticipated profit of JPY 1 trillion attributable to owners of the parent. The company maintained its foreign exchange assumption at JPY 140 per dollar and announced an expected annual dividend of JPY 68 per share. Additionally, the company has been working on corporate governance improvements, including reducing cross-shareholding practices.
