Revenue for the period was up 20% to 12.7 trillion yen.

Operating profit was up 51% to 568.7 billion yen, with operating margin at 4.5% (3.6% in previous year).

Nevertheless, Nissan said global sales for the year remained at 3.44 million units impacted by intensified sales competition. There were other negative impacts such as the Noto Earthquake and various cost relief made to suppliers due to “inflation, and other factors”, the company said. Nissan has also faced difficulties in China’s market, which is subject to intense competition – and its sales there have fallen by around a quarter in the last year.
