Nissan Motor has declared a consolidated net loss of ¥550 billion for the fiscal year 2025 (which concludes in March 2026). This is a notable improvement from the net loss of ¥670.8 billion recorded in the preceding fiscal year. Although this marks the second consecutive year of net losses for the company, the magnitude of the loss has decreased by ¥100 billion, surpassing market expectations. Additionally, Nissan Motor reported a consolidated operating profit of ¥50 billion, a stark contrast to the previously anticipated operating loss of ¥60 billion, signaling a significant turnaround. This positive shift can be primarily attributed to the repeal of pertinent regulations in the United States, the depreciation of the yen, and effective cost-cutting measures. Currently, Nissan Motor is actively pursuing operational restructuring, having put forward structural reform plans. These plans encompass global layoffs of 20,000 employees and the closure of 7 factories. The overarching goal is to achieve positive operating profit and loss, as well as free cash flow, for its automotive business by the fiscal year ending March 2027, assuming no tariff impacts.
