Honda: Consolidated Financial Summary for the Fiscal 2nd Quarter Ended September 30, 2020

TOKYO, Nov 6, 2020 - (JCN Newswire) - Despite a decrease in demand due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, consolidated operating profit for the fiscal first half amounted to 169.2 billion yen, back in the black, due primarily to control of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses resulting from a fundamental review of business activities in all areas.

Consolidated operating profit for the fiscal second quarter amounted to 282.9 billion yen, an increase of 28.5% compared to the same period last year, due primarily to control of SG&A expenses and cost reduction efforts. This was despite a decrease in profit related to changes in sales revenue and model mix.

Concerning the current fiscal year forecast, although the future outlook remains uncertain due to the impact of COVID-19, the forecast for consolidated operating profit was revised upward to 420 billion yen reflecting the business constitution built during the fiscal first half.

Quarterly dividend for the fiscal second quarter will be 19 yen per share, an increase of 8 yen per share compared to the previously announced forecast; total dividends paid for the fiscal year are planned to be 68 yen per share.
