Operating profit decreased 214.8 billion yen (US$2.0 Billion) to an operating loss of 88.8 billion yen (US$819.4 million), a 170.4 percent reduction from the previous year, due to quality improvement efforts and COVID-19 effects.
In North America, market slowdown led to a decrease in revenue to 1,176.3 billion yen (US$10.9 billion), a 3.0 percent decrease from the previous year. Operating profit totaled 23.5 billion yen (US$217.1 million), a 20.6 percent decrease from the previous year due to the production volume decrease, increases in expenses for R&D and investments to expand electrification production capabilities.
In Europe, revenue totaled 583.3 billion yen (US$5.4 billion), a 10.6 percent decrease from the previous year. Production volume decreases and labor cost increases led to a drop in operating profit to 14.4 billion yen (US$132.5 million), a 37.1 percent decrease from the previous year.
In Asia, market slowdown led to a drop in revenue to 1,278.5 billion yen (US$11.8 billion), a 9.7 percent fall from the previous year. Operating profit totaled 103.3 billion yen (US$953.6 million), a 19.6 percent decrease from the previous year.

"The full-year forecast for the next fiscal year is undecided due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which makes it difficult to calculate current figures in Japan and overseas," said Arima.
