On a management pro forma basis, which includes the proportionate consolidation of results from Nissan’s joint venture operation in China, operating profit was 98.8 billion yen, equivalent to an operating margin of 4.0%. Net income1 amounted to 47.1 billion yen.

Commenting on the results, Nissan President and CEO Makoto Uchida said: “In the first quarter, the business environment remained more challenging than expected. We believe our progress in this environment is proof that Nissan’s business foundation has been steadily strengthened through the Nissan NEXT business transformation plan, and that we are changing to a profit structure that is more resilient against external factors. Although the business environment will remain uncertain, in addition to the new Sakura EV, which continues to receive strong orders, we will also launch our global volume model, the X-Trail, with e-POWER and e-4ORCE in Europe following the recent launch in Japan. We will further improve our profit structure while maximizing the effects of these new vehicles.”

[1] Since the beginning of fiscal year 2013, Nissan has reported figures calculated under the equity method accounting for its joint venture with Dong Feng in China. Although net income reporting remains unchanged under this accounting method, the equity-accounting income statements no longer include Dong Feng-Nissan’s results in revenue and operating profit.
