TOKYO, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
- Despite some unfavorable factors such as the supply shortage of certain parts including semiconductors and an increase in raw material costs, consolidated operating profit for the fiscal first half (6 months) ended September 30, 2021 amounted to 442.1 billion yen, a year-on-year increase by 272.9 billion yen compared to the same period last year which was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was due primarily to the positive effect of increased unit sales, cost reduction efforts and favorable currency effects.
- Consolidated profit for the first half (6 months) attributable to owners of the parent amounted to 389.2 billion yen, a year-on-year increase by 229.1 billion yen, due mainly to an increase in the share of profit of investments accounted for using the equity method.
- Honda is expecting that the external business environment will remain challenging during this fiscal year due primarily to the resurgence of COVID-19, the supply shortage of certain parts including semiconductors and an increase in raw material prices. Based on this assumption, Honda plans to achieve fiscal year operating profit of 660 billion yen, which is equivalent to that of the previous fiscal year, through continuous efforts to improve profitability including the control of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and reduction of costs.
- The plan for profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent was revised to 555.0 billion yen.
- The interim dividend was 55 yen per share, and the forecast for total dividends to be paid for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022 (FY22) is 110 yen per share.
