As of May, the company had declined to disclose its full-year earnings forecast, as it could not be reasonably calculated, but this time it was made based on information and forecasts available at this time.
At the press conference, President Mago Katsuhiro pointed out that the 15% automobile tariff agreed to between Japan and the United States would increase from the previous 2.5%, so it was “an extremely burdensome.” “We will continue to strive to lower break-even points on the domestic production standard, in order to fulfill our responsibilities for the local economy and employment,” he said.
The impact of tariffs on full-year operating profit was estimated to be 233.3 billion yen on a unit basis. More than 60% will be offset by changes in destination locations and cost reductions, and the actual burden will be kept at 145.2 billion yen. Chief Financial Officer Jeffrey H. Guyton, who was present at the press conference, said that he will also adjust production, including raising the operating rate at the Alabama plant, to reduce the impact of tariffs.
The date on which the automotive tariffs will be issued is unknown, but the impact was estimated based on the assumption that the tax rate for exports from Japan to the United States from April to July, 27.5%, and 15% from August to March next year. The tariffs from Mexico on the US were assumed to be 25%, but according to CFO Guyton, the use of some US-made parts would essentially amount to around 23%.
Full-year net profit is expected to fall 82.5% year on year, with a decrease of 20 billion yen. Dividend forecasts for the interim are 25 yen per share (25 yen last year), and the end of the fiscal year (30 yen equal to 30 yen) remain undecided. President Moro said that the end-of-year dividend will be proposed at an appropriate time, with the same in mind as the previous year, while assessing further progress in business results.
Global sales for the full year will compensate for the decline in the US in other markets, maintaining 1.3 million units, the same as the previous year. The company plans to sell US sales to 400,000 units, down 35,000 from the previous year, with the government saying that it is “a little concern about the impact of tariffs and the outcome of the US economy” (President Moro).
Consolidated operating profit and loss for the April-June period 2023 was a deficit of 46.1 billion yen (a profit of 50.3 billion yen in the same period last year). The impact of tariffs was 69.7 billion yen on a number of units, but the actual burden has been reduced to 49.6 billion yen due to reduced fixed costs and changes in sales composition that can reduce the impact of tariffs. Free cash flow was a deficit of 96.8 billion yen (a surplus of 105.7 billion yen), but the company aims to turn it into a surplus for the full year.
