Denso posted the largest net loss of JPY84bn as its parts sales to the US Big Three and Toyota fell.

The five other loss-making companies were auto parts suppliers Aisin Seiki, Toyota Auto Body, Toyota Industries, Toyota Boshoku and Aichi Steel.

For fiscal 2009, only Toyota Tsusho expects to post a group net profit, though with a 37.8% decline, Kyodo said.


All nine companies predicted that any earnings recovery would come only in the second half of the year and fail to offset plunges in the first half.


”Government measures (including subsidies for auto purchases) at home and abroad may work to produce bright signs in the second half,” Toyota Boshoku President Shuhei Toyoda told Kyodo News.
