Nissan Motor Company reported a 1.7% year-on-year drop in global revenues to JPY 3,429.9 billion (US$ 21.7 billion) in the fourth quarter of the last fiscal year (FY25), which ended in March 2026, in what the Japanese automaker described as a “challenging global operating environment marked by inflationary pressure, tariffs, and uneven market performance.” The company claims it made “steady progress under the Re:Nissan plan, strengthening its business foundation and improving operating performance.”
The automaker reported a rebound in operating profits to JPY 68.1 billion from FPY 5.8 billion a year earlier, while its net loss was reduced to JPY 283 billion from JPY 676 billion.

In the full fiscal year, between April 2025 and March 2026, Nissan’s global revenues dropped by 5% year-on-year to JPY 12,008 billion, with vehicle sales amounting to 3.15 million units, while operating profit dropped by 17% to JYP 58 billion. Net losses for the full year dropped by over 20% to JPY 533.1 billion, from JPY 670.9 billion in the previous fiscal year.
Nissan said it expects global revenues to rise by over 8% to JPY 13,000 billion in the current fiscal year (FY26), ending in March 2027, while operating profits are forecast to rise to JPY 200 billion. The company expects to make a net profit of JPY 20 billion, after two years of losses, despite the global business environment remaining challenging this year, with “continued pressure from intensifying competition, foreign exchange fluctuations, inflation, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.’
Nissan’s CEO, Ivan Espinosa, said in a statement: “FY2025 marked a year of steady execution under Re:Nissan, where we strengthened our foundation and began to see tangible progress in our financial performance. At the same time, we set our long term direction with Mobility Intelligence for everyday life. We have moved beyond recovery and are entering a phase of growth.
In FY2026, we will build on this momentum through disciplined cost management and faster product execution, driving sales and profitability as we deliver our Re:Nissan commitments. At the same time, we will continue to evolve the customer experience in line with this vision.”
