Operating profit rose 2% to 411.5bn yen while Nissan’s operating profit margin came to 9.2%. Ordinary profit of 395.6bn yen was down 1.4%.
“Despite the severe business environment, Nissan’s fundamentals continue to strengthen thanks to appealing products and a competitive cost structure,” said Nissan president and CEO Carlos Ghosn. “Taking into account the risks and opportunities, we see no compelling reason to change our initial financial forecasts for the full fiscal year,” he added.
