- Despite certain unfavorable factors such as the resurgence of COVID-19, a decrease in automobile unit sales due to the semiconductor supply shortage and an increase in the cost of raw materials, consolidated operating profit for the fiscal year amounted to 871.2 billion yen, a year-on-year increase by 211.0 billion yen, due primarily to success in reducing costs and controlling incentives, and favorable currency effects.
