Toyota Motor Corporation, the Japanese vehicle maker, reported a robust performance for the period from April to December, with registered revenue of 3.94 trillion yen, marking a 107.9% year-over-year increase.
The world’s leading automotive company by sales posted an operating profit of 4.24 trillion yen in the same timeframe, up 102.1% from the prior year. This strong profit growth accompanied a sales turnover of 34.02 trillion yen, equal to about 214.2 billion euros, representing a 23.9% year-on-year rise during the first nine months of Japan’s fiscal year.
During this period, Toyota sold 7,295,000 vehicles across its own brand and group companies, including Lexus and Daihatsu, an increase of 804,000 units versus the previous year. The company noted broad positive momentum across all regions, with hybrid vehicles driving a significant portion of the growth, posting a 37.9% annual increase in hybrid sales.
Toyota attributed the improved profitability to cost-reduction initiatives aimed at offsetting higher material costs and to better semiconductor supply, which helped alleviate shortages seen in prior years. The results incorporate data from two subsidiaries in the Daihatsu Motor unit and the auto parts segment as well as the parent company, reflecting the broader resilience of the group across its diversified vehicle portfolio.
For the full fiscal year, Toyota forecasts a net profit of 4.5 trillion yen (about 28.2 billion euros) for the year ending next March, signaling notable year-over-year growth. The company expects operating profit to reach around 4.9 trillion yen, with sales turning to approximately 43.5 trillion yen, supported by continued demand across its market segments and ongoing efficiency measures. These projections align with Toyota’s strategy to expand hybrid and electrified offerings while maintaining production agility amid an evolving global supply chain.
Overall, the nine-month results underscore Toyota’s strategic focus on strengthening profitability through mix improvements, improved cost controls, and timely responses to semiconductor availability, as the company positions itself for continued growth in the next fiscal year.
