Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has announced decent financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2021. In a filing with the Tokyo Stock exchange it also increased its full-year profit outlook for fiscal year 2021.
For the first quarter of the Japanese fiscal year, consolidated net revenue was ¥2.008 trillion, consolidated operating profit was ¥75.7 billion, and the operating profit margin was 3.8%. The net income1 in the first quarter was ¥114.5 billion.
During the first three months of the fiscal year, Nissan unit sales increased sharply as the industry rebounded from the pandemic disruption of 2020. Both total industry volumes and global Nissan retail sales increased by more than 60% with keeping pace with the industry volumes. Nissan’s digitally influenced sales have further increased in quarter one.
“This is largely attributable to the online inventory search which allows for ease of shopping before customers visit dealers, given the uncertain supply situation,” said COO Ashwani Gupta.
In the US, Nissan achieved strong sales for new models, which lifted retail volumes by 68% and North America sales including Canada and Mexico by 70% to 378,000 units. In Nissan’s home market of Japan, sales were up by 7% to 90,000 units. Small kei-deliveries were hurt by supply constraints, but this was offset by the strong performance of registration cars such as the all-new Note.
In China, with a strong market recovery, unit sales were up 71% to 352,000 vehicles. In Europe, unit sales were up 69% as markets began to recover from the closure of retail networks in the first quarter of last year – with 91,000 units sold. Other markets were up almost 80%, accounting for 136,000 units in the quarter.
“We have delivered a strong performance in the first three months of our new fiscal year and continued to advance the Nissan NEXT business transformation plan,” said Nissan chief executive officer Makoto Uchida. “For the remainder of the year, we anticipate uncertainties will remain across our operating environment. We will carefully monitor and manage potential risks as we continue to improve quality of sales and maintain financial discipline. We expect a recovery in the second half supported when several new models will go on sale in core markets. Nissan will firmly pursue our goal of achieving a 2% operating margin in fiscal year 20213 , which is an important milestone under Nissan NEXT.”
FY2021 outlook
The shortage of semiconductor supply is expected to have a significant impact on Nissan’s sales volume in the second quarter. Nissan expects the issue will continue. However, sales volume will contribute to the operating profit supported by new vehicle launches. For the full fiscal year, Nissan is forecasting net revenue of 9.75 trillion yen and an operating profit of ¥150.0 billion yen. A net income1 of ¥60.0 billion yen is expected, which is ¥120.0 billion yen above the previous outlook.
