The earnings call highlights strong growth in motorcycle operations and an optimistic full-year forecast, but these are overshadowed by significant declines in operating profit, automobile losses, and challenges with tariffs and currency impacts.
Company Guidance
In the financial briefing for Honda Motor Company's fiscal first quarter of 2025, CFO Eiji Fujimura reported an operating profit of JPY 244.1 billion, showcasing a record high from motorcycle sales expansion in Brazil and Vietnam. However, automobile operations faced challenges due to tariff impacts and EV-related nonrecurring expenses, leading to operating losses in this segment. The company revised its full-year operating profit forecast to JPY 700 billion, a JPY 200 billion increase from the previous forecast, with net profit expected at JPY 420 billion. The tariff impact was adjusted to JPY 400 billion, and the exchange rate assumption was revised to JPY 140 against the U.S. dollar. The company also highlighted an ongoing share buyback program, having acquired shares worth JPY 936.5 billion. Despite a decline in equity method earnings and profit attributable to the owner of the parent, Honda remains optimistic about improving its earnings structure and expanding profits.
