Toyota reveals Q1 FY2021 results – 31.8% decline in sales, operating profit down 98.1% from Q1 FY2020

Toyota has released its financial results for the first quarter of financial year 2021, which runs from April 1, 2020 until March 31, 2021, and they aren’t very promising. The Japanese carmaker has clearly been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic that saw reductions in both production and sales, and the figures reflect that.

During the period of April 1 to June 30 this year, the company’s operating profit plunged by 98.1% to 13.9 billion yen, a far cry from the 740.6 billion yen that was recorded during the same period in the previous financial year (FY2020).

Sales revenue also took a 40.4% hit from 7.7 trillion yen in Q1 FY2020 to just 4.6 trillion yen in Q1 FY2021, which was attributed to 31.8% decline in sales. The company sold a total of 1.8 million cars (including models from all divisions) during the three-month period this year compared to 2.7 million cars in Q1 FY2020.

With recovery initiatives currently in place, the company remains realistic with its forecast for the current financial year, as it expects operating profit to come in at 500 billion yen (its weakest in nine years), while sales revenue is projected to be at 24 trillion yen.

The company ended FY2020 with an operating income of 2.4 trillion yen and a net revenue of 29.9 trillion yen. As for sales, Toyota has revised its projection of 8.9 million cars as of May 2020 to 9.1 million cars, which is still its lowest in nine years and represents a 13% decline from 10.46 million cars in FY2020.

    Not bad. While others are posting a loss, Toyota is posting reduced profit instead.

        At least toyota, nissan and mazda can handle the covid-19 pandemic and care about people especially including this profits but sadly not all japanese car brands. Honda mana? Why honda never take care of these people during covid-19?
