Honda Motor Company’s consolidated operating
income for the 2013 fiscal year (1 April 2012 - 31 March 2013) amounted to
544.8 billion yen (£3.58b), an increase of 135.5% compared to the previous
fiscal year.
This
is due primarily to a significant increase in automobile sales, up 900,000
units to just over four million vehicles, led by strong growth in North
America, Asia and Japan as a result of recovery from the impact of the Great
East Japan Earthquake, major flooding in Thailand and the success of new model
introductions. An increase of motorcycle sales globally of 430,000 units has further
supported this growth.
Consolidated
net income for the fiscal year amounted to 367.1 billion yen (£2.4b), an
increase of 73.6% compared to the previous fiscal year.
