Hino, part of the Toyota Motor group, said its group sales rose 7.8% to 267.37 billion yen during the period. A 4.8% rise in vehicle sales in Japan and a 17.1% surge in production consigned by Toyota largely contributed to group sales growth.
Group pretax profit declined 45% to 4.80 billion yen due to increased costs for new business expansion overseas and other factors.
But reduced losses on fixed assets to 631 million yen from 4.31 billion yen a year before under the asset impairment accounting standard helped boost net profit.
Net profit per share rose to 10.92 yen from 4.42 yen the same period the year before.
