Early this month the automaker reported group net profit of JPY283.5bn yen for the 2011 business year, down 30.5%.
Its earnings were dragged down by the impact of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and massive flooding in Thailand last year, as well as the yen’s appreciation against other major currencies.
