Honda Motor said operating profit for the financial year ended 31 March 2022 was JPY871.2 billion yen, a year on year increase of JPY211.0 billion, “due primarily to success in reducing costs and controlling incentives, and favourable currency effects”.

This was all “despite certain unfavorable factors such as the resurgence of COVID-19, a decrease in automobile unit sales due to the semiconductor supply shortage and an increase in the cost of raw materials”, the automaker said in a statement.

Net profit was JPY707.0 billion, up JPY49.6 billion.
