Osamu Masuko, chairman and CEO, said: "Up until the third quarter, we were affected by the negative movements in emerging and commodity currencies, in addition to repeated natural disasters in Japan. Even in these circumstances, we were able to achieve a year-on-year increase as a whole and secure a level close to our plan in terms of sales volume, net sales and operating profit.

"In addition to slowing demand in major markets such as the US and China, we are continuously facing a situation of unstable exchange rates. We will be relentless with our continuing efforts to reduce costs, while focusing first and foremost on achieving our full-year target.

"We are not optimistic that this difficult business environment will be temporary, so as a starting point we intend to redefine our "Vision for Mitsubishi Motors" to be a strategy to survive and steadily increase profitability in a sustainable manner by utilising alliances on our scale."
